Progress Of the Temperance Causc In
England.

The London Standard has some inter-
esting statistics in regard to the PloSIesS
of Temperance principles ana PiaGIlce
in England, and the consequent dllnlnu-
tion of the evil effects OF ntoAloSIlhg
drAks. In 1877 DIR. Gilbert calculated
that fifty-four per cent. OF the cases OF
insanity in the United Kingdom aIoSe
from drink; for this total there may
now be substituted thirty-two Accord
ing to Mr.. Nelson's well-kn0wn tables,
habitual intemperance produces, as a
rule, death in women after fourteen
years, and in men after between liteen
and eighteen years. Among the lower
orders beer is estimated by the same
authority as killing in twenty-five years
and spirits in seventeen. Nhle Cne
deaths of which drunkenness couio De
directly assigned as the cause rose from
twenty-nine per million in 1870 to Iorty-
five per million in 1876, it is computed
that in 1881 they had sunk to thirty per
million. But the idea conveyed by
mere numbers is wholly inadequate to
express the realities to which they, cor
respond. The change indicated 0y
them in the social habits of Che popula-
ton is enormous. Some of these We're
mentioned by Mr.. Caine in his address
to the Central Temperance Association.
Thus, to take single instance, COM
mercial travellers who, only 5tteen
years ago, were called upon % pay
at hotels for bottle of wine whether
they drank it or not-being charged
in consideration of this usage only a
shilling for their dinner-are charged
now three shillings for that meal, but
are not expected to order anything 'for
the good of the house." Mr.. Caine also
narrated personal experience, from
which it may be hoped that the practice
of ''wetting bargain is gradually fall
ing into disuetude. 1t is to be feared
that in most great commercial cities,
furnished as they are with their wine
''shades" and subterranean drinking
saloons. there is still good deal too
much tippling at odd hours. But, on
the whole, no one can shut his eyes to
the fact that there exists strong and
growing public opinion against drunk
enhess, even among those who. are less
rigidly abstemious than might be desir-
oOlCs vi bliC hlSU IlIIlC III bhC liCbOly
of England, intoxication, irrespective of
the social level on which it may be seen,
carries with it lasting stigma. The
whole tendency of the day is opposed to
excessive drinking. The Temperance
movement is, as Mr.. Caine pointed out,
not only making great number of tee
tOtalers, but influencing those who are
not abstainers greatly to decrease the
amount they take. At the great ma
jority of dinner parties the quantity Of
wine taken after the ladies have left the
room is very small; and if Thackeray
were to rewrite Chapter X. in his "Book
of Snobs,' he would represent Captain
Rag and Ensign Famish as ordering a
''lemon squash" in the small hours,
rather than sixth glass of whisky
punch.-N. y Observer.

A Public Curse.

The money passing into the hands OF

schools, aid charitable institutions, build
churches and support the Gospel, they

Why a State Can Not be Sued.

Perhaps it might not be uninteresting
10 summarize the reasons why a sover-
eien State can not be sued, even by its
own consent:
l. 'Law is rule of action prescribed
by superior" The sovereign has no
superior.
,. The King can do no wrong, be-
cause he is above the law, being its
source, and there can be no wrong but
by its violation.
8. The writ runs in the name of the
Sovereign, and is supported by his pow
er. 1t would be absurd for the Sover-
eign to call himself into court to an
swer for violation of his own law under
penalty prescribed by himself.
4. There is no power to enforce judg-
ment. The State compels the individual
to obey the judgment of its courts; II
can not compel itself. The Judgment
of the court is the will of the Sovereign,
and consequently can not be made use
of to coerce he Sovereign. The Con-
ti7aent.
