THE senate committee on foreign
relations has recommended ratiilea-
ton of the Mexican reciprocity treaty.
There will be some strong objections
urged against its adoption by the sugar
men aud those who in lobby assembled

GRANT, being IA high protectionist,
gave u highly colored picture of the
good results which must follow the rat
incntion of this treaty and consoled the
sugar men of the south by
relating n pretty story about The un-
healthy lowlands where Mexleans can
not live and produce this commodity,
aud about that country using more than
her own productions every year. And
then he talks OF the other article which
Mexico produces, tobacco, and believes
the admiitance OF that article free of

Without judicial Ascertainment.

Senator Cocoon Is a cear-headed
conservative and experienced legisla-
torand an able lawyer, who, AS usual
thing, Is not given to unwise or inn
practicable propositions knowing
this the GAZETTE Is surprised at one
of the propositions emanating from his
prolific brain and skillful hand for the
disposition of the public lands. The
propositions, fifteen In number, APP
peared in the GAZETTE yesterday
morning. There are several
that are unworthy of their
author, but the most absurd of
all Is the eighth which provides
that forfeiture OF the land shall be
provided for without judicial ascertain
mentn This means that man s
land May be taken from him by some
one who thinks he owns too much,
without going into the courts to st
the validity of his title, or the right to
enjoy Its possession just who Is TO say
that the land is 10 be forfeited, or to
| whom II is to- be forfeited, the resolu-
| ton does not say--whether 1t Is the
honorable senator himself, or some one
who wants the land, cowboy or an
agrarian, we are left in doubt and
uncertainty. The idea was doubtless
borrowed from what was known rs
the Hubbard Railroad Billn in the
| 18th legislature, which provided for
forfeiture of railroad charters with
out judicial ascertalnment." If the
GAzErrEs reporter In the senate was
not one of the most care.
full aud accurate stenographers in
! the state, we would think the resolt-
ton was Incorrectly reported. The GA
ZErrE Is not lost in admiration of the
present state constitutions, but IL would
not like 10 see one of the most beneii.
cent provisions of the instrument over
ridden aud annulled In this manner.
The senator WAS evidently "oti' his
base when he prepared the resolution.
But the most surprising thing in the
whole matter Is that the senate, COM
posed principally of lawyers, adopted
the resolution.

To the GAZETTE this appears to be

influence TO give it force and effect,
Senator STRATroN by taking the
initiative In this matter has shown his
liberality and craftsmanship. He
evidently does not think that Calves
ton is Texas, but recognizes his duty
to the entire state, and has the indie
pendence to perform 1t. The GAZETTE
would be glad If there were more sena
tors and representatives like Mr.

Senator Hale, Of Maine, has done
good service in the United States Sen
ate in directing public attention to the
saloon influence in politics. Senator
Beck, of Kentucky, on the first day OF
the session. offered resolution to in
vestigate the methods Of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee in con-
nection with political assessments, .
of which so much has been said ;
whereupon Senator Hale offered a
substitute providing that the Judiciary
Committee be instructed to 'to inves-
tigate thoroughly the conduct and do
ings of both said Democratic and Re-
publican) political committees" and
especially to inquire into the alleged
levying Of assessments by the former
(Democratic) committee upon "the Ii
quor dealers and brewers associa-
tons in the different States, and to
ascertain what said committees did
with the money so received: where
and to whom paid; and to report the
same to the Senate at the earliest pos
sible time. National Temp. ADD.

PREPARING THE VICTIMS. The
saddest thing in the legalized liquor
traffic is this that it prepares its own
victims. If the saloon found men who
demanded drink, and supplied these
only, it would not be so terrible. But
it knows well that if it did only this,
it's patronage would cease, so it sets
itself with cool and bloodless cunning
to prepare men to like liquor and de-
mand it. How2
L. By transmitting to unborn chill
dren, through the medium of drunken
parents, passion and appetite for
strong drink. Science to-day utters
no more awful warning than when it
asserts that the cravsng for alcoholic
liquors is handed down in innumera-
BILE instances from parent to child. So
the child is mortgaged in advance to
the traffic.
2. By schooling children who have
no appetite for drink and teaching
them to have desire for it. This is
don't by Haunting temptation before
the eyes of the child from his early
infancy. AS he toddles along the
streets his eyes catch the gaudy saloons
tempting bottles and eager throngs.-
AS he goes to and from school he is
challenged at every turn by the at
fractions of the saloon. Ball, bill
lizards, nights and music, are all bro't
in to entice and allure the children
Light drinks are offered, and these, it
is we'll known, contain the alcohol
which will set the appetite. Cards
and companions are always at the sa-
loon to keep and bring again those
once attracted And so out of the
sober babe, the tipping boy and the
drunken youth are surely made.
3. By stripping, through drunken
parents, home Of all it's restraints and
love and attractions, and then throw
ing the young children inevitably into
the tolls of the saloons.
4. By fostering and producing igno-
rance which, combined with idleness,
gives the traffic its most chosen field
How can we best prevent this edu-
eating power of the saloon PROF @.

The holidays are now over, and all
who resisted the temptation both to
drink add to entce others to do so,
may congratulate themselves that they
are better prepared thereby to do a
more successful work for humanity
this year than ever before. We hear
from certain quarters that there was
more drinking in Stephens City and
Middletown during the holidays than
in years past. We hardly believe it.
While our own town had great deal
of bad conduct in the way of shoot
ing and profanity in the streets even
until the "wee sma hours in the morn
ing" we are sure it was done by boys,
and we can hardly think they were
drinking. Perhaps our "city fathers"
had better look into this midnight ca
rouslng.

Yes, 1t was too late for him he had
fallen too low to ever dream of for
giveness and peace. The demon of
drink held his soul in bondage, and he
had lost forever all hope of salvation.

degradation he pleads not for him
self, but For Gods sake, save the
