WHAT THEY DRINK

Rev. Thomas Green, a Chicago min-
lister, has been giving a practical tenn
perance lecture that ought to set the
drinking world to thinking, unless Chi
cago whisky is worse than the general
run, and we presume it is not. He had
fifteen samples purchased at different sa-
looms analysed and the results he gave
in a sermon last Sunday. "The first
sample," he said, twas bought on Har.
rison street, near Fifth avenue. 1t was
purchased as rye whisky. Here are Its
ingredients: Six;y-five per cent neutral
spirits, essence OF lime or concentrated
I've, the rest water mixed up with glycer-
inc, colored with burnt sugar and
cleared with arsenic enough to kali in
one pint. A bottle of gin from Fourth
avenue, near Polk street, contained be-
sides neutral spirits some turpentine and
blue vIirol. A botile-ot bourbon con
tanned sulphaie tIncture, chronic acid
arsenic and fusel oil. That was 4O-year-
old Kentucky whisky. A bottle of 1870
cognac, which cost $3.50, was pre-
pared of alcohol aud water. burnt sugar,
favored with spirits of cognac, ether,
sulphur, and arsenic To make it sparkle.

We regret most keenly. as one of GOV.
St. Johns unwaveting and steadfast

himself to assist in defeating the only
party through which prohibition is to
be made successful in this state and the
nation.
To divide the Repihlican party IN
the nation, making continued Bourbon
Democratic conttol possible, will not
aid prohibition or any other great re-
form. TO defeat by such q division,
Republican supremacy in Kansas is to
give the state free whisky under Demo-
cratic rule. These tao are as we'll
known to Gov. St. John as to any man
IN Kansas. If defeat Of ptohibiti5n

ton that bases its action on the
failure of the national republican con-
veutiOn TO recognize this issue, the re.
Bponsibiiity will rest with that faction,
and the fact that it is done in the name
of temperance will not lessen the severe
condemnation which will be visited upon
those whose impractical zeal must not be
