AT THE recent session of the ohlo
Congregational Association, at Steuben-
Vile, Rev. II. r. Hall, OF Mt. Vernon,
read n paper on "The True Principles
of Temperance Reform" He sums up
the matter as follows:
Let us demand at the hands of the Legislature
the passage OF two laws. One shall provide ior
high taxation Of the liquor traffic, with provisions
that will make H. like the Scott law, selfenforcing
Sections shall therein be incorporated to forpid
sales to minors and drunkards, and on sundays
and all holidays, and after l2 O'Clock every nignt
aad permitting civil damages against liquor sellers.
The other shall absolutely prohibit the sale OF
lIouor. and the moet effective which the experi.
enee Of other States can furnish shall be employed
10 that end. Then each city, and village, midtown
ship shall at the spring election be required 10
choose one Of the laws for the period OF three
wears ateast, or until respectable number OF eiti
zens shall demand rc-submlssion the question
This will secure actual prohibition under very
favorable auspices, wherever II could be had on
any terms. 1t would, II prohibition Is good
thing. as we believe II IT, be adopted year by year
In greater NUMBER OF Citlcs nhu to"N' "' 49,
effects became apparent. This has universally
been the course Of things at the South, where this
nlan has been followed. Meanwhile in cities
where no sufficient prohibition sentiment exists to
carry the day, taxadon would diminish more or
less The evils Of intemperance and would cripple
more and more the political power Of the saloons,
and thus prepare the way for the ultimate triumph
of prohibition. This, then, is In my Judgment,
the true principle Of temperance reform as regards
legislation for Ohio. Local option combined with
taxation. But II the question be mainly, as
trust II always will be, among Christian men, what
is the chief hope Of the deliverance OF mankind
from intemperance with all Its frightfu evils the
answer Of faith and Of reason alike must ever be-
the Lord Jesus Christ, our most blessed and ador-
able Redeemer.

As to the swine, they look snouty, and
can run like deer. The way the natives
tell when they are fat enough to kill,
they hold them up by the ear, IL their
tails drop they kill them, If the snout
goes down, they let them run a few
days longer, till they gain strength to
hold up their noses. Most every kind

itself as soon as age will permit.

was compelled by her father, saloon-keep-

black and white customers. Revolving
against this degradation, she fled to rela-
tives in Chester, S. G. for protection. The
father calls upon the officers of the law to
help him to get her back to attend his bar
again. This isnot the first time that these

4 PRACTICAL ARGUMENT.

A practical temperance argument was very
deity put forth by Prof. Houghton, of
Trinity College, Dublin. A friend sitting
by him ordered brandy and water, with a
plate of oysters. Prof, Houghton implor-
ed him not to ruin his digestion in that
way, and sending for glass of brandy put
an oyster lit before the eyes of his friend.
In short time there lay in the bottom Of
the glass tough, leathery substance, re-
sembling' the finger of kid glove and just
as indigestible.

What Whiskey will do.

Some years ago, in one of the counties of
New Y ork, a worthy man was tempted to
drink until drunk. In the delirium of
drunkenness he went home and murdered
his wife in the most brutal manner. He
was carried to jail while drunk. Awaken
ing in the morning, and seeing the bars up
on the windows, he exclaimed
lis this jail ?"

one.
.What am here for ~ was the earnest
inquiry.
For murder" was the answer.
docs my wife know it ~
ssYour wife know it ?'' said some one,-
sWhy it was your wife you murdered
On this announcement he dropped sud-
denly, as if he had been struck dead. Let
it be remembered that the constable who
carried him to Jail sold the liquor (which
causeds his drunkenness; the justice who
issued the warrant was one of those who
signed his license the sheriff who hanged
him also sold liquor and kept a ten-pin
alley.
WHAT IT COSTS.
Fifteen millionssof barrels of beer were
consumed in this country last year at the
cost to the consumers of $4S0.000, 0O0.-
There were seventeen million gallons of
liquor consumed, which cost 1913 900, 900.
Adding wines, the money. spent in liquor
every year makessup total Of $500, 600, 900.
AS all our taxes, national, state, city,
county and town, are stated, ION authority
of the Census Bureau, to be about $780,
600, 900, it follows that we spend more in
liquor, by $100,0O0,000 yearly, than we do
for the whole machinery of our national,
state, and. local governments. But even
this does not tell the whole story for there
are statistics Which..show that "a per cent.
of all the CRIME in the country is due to the
use of liquor. One in every twenty of the
able-bodied men of this country is made a
pauper, a loafer,. or criminal by drink
II all these men were capable Of constant
work, they would make not less than $780,
000,0 900 per annum. This makesthe liquor
tax fully 81 100000 per annum more than
half our national debt, and $2O0,O0O,OO0
more than the total Of all our exports. Is
it any wonder that some people become
fanatical in contemplating the enormity

LIQUOR SALOONS THE HOME OF HOME.

Out Of 1851 criminal convictions in the
state of Iowa during the year 1880, $50 of
the criminals convicted were saloon keep
ers. In 1881, in the same state, the con-
victions were 1850, and the convicted sa-
loon keepers GIL. The total expenses of
these convictions for the two years were
STA 1884, Of which the saloon keepers
share was $303, 9S6.87. No wonder the tax
payers of Iowa want prohibition.

The Good Templars of the Bahama
Islands, invoked the aid of the queen
to prevent the passage Of a bill, by the
legislature of Bahama, to override the

quest, and no license remains the law of
the land.
