Notes.

But a few years II 90 there was no
temperance organization in China; now
a temperance hotel is advertised in
Hong Kong, aud at Shanghai there is
a lodge of Good Templars, and good
able temperance paper published week
ly, called the Temperance Union.
The Nashville CHRISTIAN Adc0cate in
recent editorial SAYS: II On license
as preventive of drunkenness means
fewer places where liquor is sold, but
not fewer drinkers. 1t means shade
more of responsibility in the business
of liquor selling, but no abatment OF
the awful results.
The Southwestern NetcS asks pertin-
ently;" What becomes of the LIQUOR
dealers argument that the manufacture
OF whiskey increases the price of corn
when we fluid that the average price OF
corn in Kentucky is much less than
IN Ohio, Notwithstanding the fact that
Kentucky is noted for its whiskies?"
Says Father Burke, of the Roman
Catholic church "Whe God made us
He gave us soul and body together, in
all the activity of their powers. The
man that 0HHjbii0teS his OlcH soul n
single instant by drunkenness commits
an outrage against the God that has
made him, against the author of his
nature"
DO we want TO continue the saloon?
The only place in the world where
young men are taught that there is not
an honorable women on earth is in
the saloon; obscene stories are at a
premium; large precentage of
robberies are planned in the saloon !:
the vile schemes are there cOncocied
with the drinks. No man of charactes
ever thinks of stopping long in there
dens of vice. Why continue them, is
the question to be answered this fall at
the ballot dox.-N Y. Ne,cS.
The attempt to do away with intem-
perance by the license system NAV be
illustrated by the story of the old.time
hunter in one of the Eastern States
which had offered large bounty for
wolf scalps. This hunter every spring
would bring in from three TO five wolf
scalps and receive the large State boun-
ty. His success became so noticeable
that one day younger Nlmrod begged
TO 20 with him on the hunt. Soon aft
er entering the woods an old wolf ap-
peared in sight. The young hunter
raised his rifle, but was Immediately
seized by the Old veteran and checked
with the words, Hold on there |!
That's the old she wolf. If you kill her
there won't be no more cubs" Then
it came out how he had killed the cubs
but spared the cid she wolf, as, by kill
ing her the hope of his gains would be
cut of Now what we must do is to
destroy the old she wolf the license
system so that there shall be no hope
of another cub, even for large bounty.
The Ignorant, but honest freedman,
who, hearing the minister pray the
Lord TO curtdl the power of the Evil
One, exclaimed, "Amen yes Massa, cut
de tall smack smOve Off" had the right
idea, but the practical temperance re-
former who says, Eyes, but cut it of
just behind the ears" has touched the
final boundaries of enlightened COM
mon sense IN regard to the liquor evil.
