THE "Christian Home" for women inebriates,
is the latest development of New York benevo-
lence. 1t is an exclusive and heightened institu-
ton, being intended only for those Christian
women in the best circles of society who will
get drunk and go on solitary sprees. The
Home" is founded as a quiet place to which
these Christian ladies can go to brace up, sober
of, and get in condition to resume their Chris
tian and society duties. Particular stress is laid
upon the fact that "only women who can give
satisfactory references of good moral character"
are admitted. Circulars from the "Home" have
not been received, but the necessary prelimi-
naries for admission can readily be imagined,
All that the Christian woman need do, when she
feels "a need TO take something STRENGTHENING
and a good deal of 1t, is to provide herself with
c certificate Of good moral character and nigh
social position, signed by her pastor, her hus-
band, or other prominent citizens. Armed with
this, and a bottle, she can start out and have a
hilarious old time, secure in the consciousness of
moral rectitude, and the knowledge that she will
eventually bring up in the exclusive walls OF
the Home, where she will be surrounded by a
select circle Of respectable Christian women like
herself. If Christian women will get drunk they
ought to be taken care of in sfrst-olass style.
Carping critics will doubtless arise to remark
that the philanthropy which builds such a home
has gone mad. or is bilin' drunk, but this is a
base Islander. The Christian home is a great in
stitution, and there should be more of them, If
the half that Rev. Morgan Dix says about the
New York Christian women is true.

Tn Iowa liquor licenses cost all the way from
$75 in Dubuque to $1,000 in Crestou. At Bed
ford, where the annual license is $500, the
city ordinance requires a square stand-up drink,
no screen doors, shaded windows, chairs or set
tees or billiard-tables being permitted. 1t is
this stand-up, pour-dOwn, guZzling drinking that
is the worst feature of the business in America.
In no other country is it done so, the almost uni.
versal custom being to have little tables, no bar,
and the liquor is sinned little at a time. And in
many countries intoxicating liquors are seldom
drunk except in connection with solid food. The
stand-up and pour-down style of drinking is ex-
clusively and dIsgracefully American.

n QUEER PHASE OF POLITICS.
MOVEMENTS FOR AND AGAINST JOHN A. LUBY.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l


WASHINGTON, Nov. 27-The appearance here
editor Of The Albany Erening Journal is said to be
prompted by desire to head of possible movement
the part Of John Smyh the removal Of John
A. Luby Surveyor of Customs at Albany The appoint
ment OF Mr. Luby made early last year and Occa-
stoned much unfavOrabe comment. It was represented
to be an appointment totally unfit to be made, for the
reason that Luby was creature OF the Smyth
machine, possessing qualifications whatever for the
Office In the movement looking the displacement OF
smyth from the State Committee and the besOwal Of the
succession upon Draper, Luby promptly and energet
cay sided with the Draper clique. The result has been
that Smyth and myths friends-and he still is said to
enjoy an active and influential support in Albany-are
intensely bitter against Luby and have declared for his
removal.
His original appointment was condemned by The
Albany Journal which was then controlled by George
Dawson Mr.. Fredercbs, who succeeded Dawson, fights
Mr. Smyh, but Is well disposed toward Smyths late first
lieutenant Mr.. Draper. II the movement against Luby

that the question Of his fitness for important and
spon'ibe public trust was absolutely ignored. Many
OF those who stouy protested against the appointment
are giving Draper active quasi support, be-
eyng that he Is in earnest in his promises that he will

purpose of uniting and building up the party in Albany
