The New York Journal of Commerce has shocked the prohibitionists among it's read CTS by very incisive article upon the theme 'tHow to promote temperance" It ins1sts that drunkenness is crime and not a disease, and asserts that character is estab- lished only by trial and resistance to evil that temperance is not total ab stinSnee, but the moderate and judicious use of whatever is at any time necessary or beneficial that children should be accustomed to, or at any rate not precluded from witnessing the use of beer and light wines, they having the lib. srty of their use with proper teaching This may be the correct principle, but there is great danger Chat good teaching will not be match for natural inclination and opportuni- ty. In our opinion 1t is better for the young, and the old too, to have as little to do with iato1icating drinks of any kind light or heayy-as poss1ble. s'
 Senator John Sherman is reported as say ing that be is not candidate for the presi- dential nomination, and would not be under any circumstances. He says that he was so deceived by persons calling themselves his friends during the last contest for the Re publican nomination that he has no desire to further sacrifice the remaining confidence he has in human nature This remark is un- derstood not to apply to General Garfield or Governor Foster, both of whom he has hith- erto exculpated from any such suspicion, but that it does apply to a number of men in whom he confided and by whom he was i'm posed upon. MT. Sherman says he will be glad when he is able to devote his entire at- tention to business matters, and looks back with great pleasure to the time when he was Secretary of the Treasury. MT. Sherman could hardly be in better frame of mind.
 The members of Q colored Methodist church in Winston, North Carolina. planned an ex- being able to raise the money otherwise the officers of the church mortgaged the church. building for $500. receiving, how ever, only $500 cash. The contract price of the excursion train was $1, 200. As soon as the Richmond and Danville Railroad eompa- ny was notified that 5000 of the amount had been deposited in the bank to the credit of the railroad, the train was dispatched from Richmond and arrived in Winston on time. The trustees scratched around industriously for several hours trying to raise the other 5000, and finally failed. The railroad agent pocketed the deposit and the train steamed back to Richmond amid the lamentations of those who had purchased tickets and supplied themselves with grub for three days trip. The interesting legal question now arises IS to the validity of the mortgage, and the mat ter is already in the courts. The church lawyers hold that the contract is usurious that excursions are not in the line of serving God, and the preacher declares that stde mortgage am nc count, no way, boss."

The late decisions by the supreme
court of the United States, affirming for
the second time, the power of states to
regulate railroad fares and freights, is
more important and far reaching than
was generally supposed from the brief
abstract furnished for the press In the
Neal Ruggles case, Just decided the state
Of Illinois gave the board of directors OF
the railroad company "the power to es-
tablish such rates of tolls for the convey
ance Of persons or property as they
shall. from time TO time, by their by
laws determine. The court decides
that neither this clause nor any
similar clause depriyes the legislature
Of the freedom to act as the
public interests may seem TO require.
Such action would be no violation of a
contract, because the bylaws authorized
by the charter are not TO he repuguant
TO the constitution and laws of the state.
Unless there is distinct contract en-
bodied in the charter-unless, for ex-
ample, the railroad company is by its
charter authorized to charge a certain
sum per mile, no charter privilege can
be pleaded against the creation of
railroad commission or any Of its acts.
This decision is all the more important
because il Is the logical result of series
of decisions that extend over several
years. The personnel Of the court has
in the time been greatly changed, but
the principle Of state regulation Of rail
roads has been asserted each time in
stron. and more distinct terms, and
the decision in the Dartmouth college
case has been left still farther in the rear.
The recent decision IN the Illinois cases
may be considered as final settlement
Of a long-eontested question.

LIFELONG. LONG KISS.
Snatched Hastily From the Side
Long Maid is Often Dangerous.

SnSaAChC0 1AAG
Long Maid is Often Dangerous.
Who can explain the magic power that
lies in kiss? More eloquently than
words it expresses love, friendship,
sympathy, admiration, repentance. 1t
is token of affection and esteem, and
of scheming duplicity as well. How
could lovers WOO and wed without the
sweet assistance Of kiss? From time
immemorial Cupid has depended upon
it as his most powerful ally. Who cali
not recall the kiss of mother, that
seems almost like benediction, or the
kiss of a father. as mark ofapprobation
or encouragement? The kiss IF brother
or sister, expressing more unseltlsh love
than could be contained in volumes of
words? the kiss of the little one, full of
trust and confidence2 What mother has
not been called upon to kiss away the
pain from bruised heads and burned
fingers? What part of the demonstra-
tions of love. affection or friendship play
in every ones every day life. Kisses
are recorded in history for which
crowns have been given or a world
thrown away Ever since its murmur
was first heard in the gardens of soft
flowing Cedron has it played an lmpor-
tant part in the destiny of nations.
Queens have ever looked kindly upon
the practice Good queen Bess was not
averse TO the oseulatory salutatiol, and
bestowed it right heartily upon her
favored suitors. A remarkable kiss is
recorded as given by Queen Margaret to
Alain Charter more than 400 years ago.
He was q poet. but the ugliest man in
the whole of France. During his life
time he enjoyed a wonderful reputation,
but after his death he was soon forgotten.
He is now chiefly remembered on ac-
count of the kiss which the queen pres.
sed upon his dreaming lips one dav, as
she found him sleeping lying to her
maid as she did so. Il kiss not the man;
/ kiss the soul that sings.
Kisses are the sunlight of life, but of
late physicians are loudly cOndemning
the pra ctice of promiscuous kissing. A
physician, whose reputation is world
wide, thinks that for an unhealthy per-
son to kiss another is crime, and the
habit of much kissing most dangerous
from a sanitary point Of view. Not only
does he believe that diph herii and like
diseases are frequently communicated
by kissing, but that still more loathsome
diseases are contracted by contact with
the lips of affected persons. SO let us
be chary Of Our kisses, or at least be-
stow them with discretion. Promiscu-
Gus kissing, which is not prompted by
sentiment, means nothing, is in bad
taste, and is of little qualification. Let
such OSCILLATION be abolished.
