fish their places where there is no call
for them, but they go to work system
atically to make customers. They en-
tice innocent boys into their dens and
feed them the villainous stuff till the
appetite is produced that makes them
their bond-slaves forever. They work
upon the weakness OF men to the same
end. and by the same means. They
use every art known to INSCRIPTIONS
greed to make the beginning on man
or boy, knowing full well what the end
is to be. The appetite once fixed they
have nothing further to do. They are!
sure of all that the victim can earn till
death releases him from his bondage. ,
This is why the law must interfere in
this matter. 1t is to protect the weak
adult and the inexperienced youth
against an aggressive evil. 1t is to-
protect society against these worse
than wolves. 1t is to relieve society
from the care of criminals andpaupers. /
1t is to first check, and finally eradi-l
cate an evil that has more of terror in
it than war, pestilence and famine.
The negro BARRIERS argument is a.
good one, but it is, after all, the least
important. 1t makes but little differ
ence what man eats, except to HIM
self. If he elects to eat liver and give
others beef-steak it is his own business.
But he has no right to make himself al
pauper or a criminal, nor has he the
right to expose his children to the same
certainty. With paupers and criminals
every citizen has something to do. The
cost of maintaining the paQpers and
criminals made by rum does not fall
upon the rum-seller, but upon his
neighbors. The people at large have
an interest in the business of drunkard-l
making. When rum brings man
down from the level of porter-housel
steak to liver it is very certain that he
will very soon drop the liver and come
to nothing, and that the people will
finally have to support him and his chill
dren.
1t is entirely just, therefore, that the
people should have something to say asl
to whether the manufacture of drunk
ards shall 60 on or not. At least they
have right to say whether the business
of misunderstanding shall be prosecuted
or not. AT least they have right toE
say whether the business of drunkard-l
making shall be prosecuted ornot They
have the right to say whether men, i'm
fiuenced by the most desperate oupidityl
that affiicts mankind, shall lie in wait tor
their sons and children to the end of!
reducing them to the ranks of the liver
eaters. Toledo Blade. =

LONDON, Aug. 18.-Dispatches received
here Saturday from Sydney, New South
Wales, announce the defeat of Hanlan, the
American oarsman, by William Beach. The
race, which was for $500 side and the
championship of the world, took place on
the Parramatta River, and although
Beach, being regarded as better
man than Laycock, was looked upon as a
formidable opponent of the hitherto in
vincible American, the latter's defeat was
a surprise, especially as Beach finished
seven lengths ahead. Hanlan's chief
hacker here, who is said to have laid $500
to e100 to all takers on Friday, is very
heavy loser, but no one here doubts that
Hanlan did his best to WIN. Beach is a
native of Sydney, and made his first ap-
pearance in July last year, when he was
beaten by Trinkett. Since then he has
won twice from TriDkett,

If there is any objection to Mr.. Pendleton

great advantage to that reform, and to the
purity and dignity of politics generally, if Mr..

THE AMERICAN HOG.

The attitude Of hostility of several Euro
pean countries against American pork is one
that calls for some measure on the part Of this
country that will remedy the matter. Some
means must be devised whereby those coun-
tries, notably France and Germany, may be
brought to realization of their indefensible
opposition to one of Americas leading prod
ucts. No better plan has yet been suggested
than that of interdicting the importation to
this country of wines and brandies from those
countries excluding American pork The
from France and Germany is $40, 000,0 900. Let
this traffic be stopped until the offending
powers acknowledge their error. If it had
been shown that American pork was not as
good if not actually the best in the world,
the action of prohibiting its importation
would have been reasonable enough.
But so long as it is believed by Americans
that the meat shipped to Europe is as good as
is consumed here, they will not rest contented
bAteSSNA
arbitrary enactment at Paris or Berlin. Such
a discrimination means serious loss to the
farmers of America in decreasing the natural
demand and in the consequent depression of
prices. 1t has not yet been demonstrated that
anybody has ever suffered from eating pork
properly cooked. In almost or quite every in
stance wherein trichiniasis has appeared the
victim has defied common sense and decency
by eating the raw flesh of the hog, a practice
so coarse as to be well nigh i-s' -
BILE. The latest a-7elopment of this
dread disease in Germany has been directly
traced to native-raised hogs and at time
when the importation and sale of American
salted meats was forbidden. No unprecedented
Judge believes that the American animal is
constitutionally less healthful than those, of
any other country, nor is it apparent that
Americans suffer any more frequently from
diseases peculiar to the consumption of the
flesh of swine 1t is not asked that foreign
countries eat what we refuse, but simply that
they do not legislate against one of our largest
and best products Now that they have so
enacted and refuse to rescind or to qualify
such prohibition, it is but fair that we take
action to make them reconsider.

In many parts of the South the old idea
still exists that it is reprehensible if not ac
tually disgraceful for woman of any social
standing to go out into the world to earn her
living. So strong is this prejudice and so
marked the loss of caste, which follows such a
career, that Southern women who are de-
pendent upon their own exertions prefer to
come North to seek employment. Light is
breaking, however, in dark places. The
Charleston News and Courier in commenting
upon the appointment of the widow of prom
inent man to clerkship in the Virginia capi-
tol says: r
'When shall we see this doctrine applied in
South Carolina as well as Virginia. The
spoils system will be relieved of many of its
bad features if the women are given public
Offices. There are scores of clerkships which
women can fill and to which they are more en-
titled than the men are. The women have
done as much for the State, and are not as
well able as the men to support themselves by
their own labor. Many occupations which
are open to men are closed to women, by rea-
son of physical inability; and it is altogether
wrong that men should monopolize employ
ments that can be safely and advantageously
given to the widows and unmarried women
whom the war and the vicissitudes of fortune
have left almost helpless, if not homeless"
With this sort of support from leading
journal the women of South Carolina can en-
ter into such industrial pursuits as they
choose, and force straight laced public opin-
ion to their own side.
