Beer Gardens and Sunday Laws.

Wherever there are Beer Gardens
there will be revelry, rows and riot.
Rev. DR.. Smith of Fourth Street
Church, Wheeling, recently paid
his respects to one of these foul hot
beds near that city.
We quote from the Register:
The row on the Elm Grove road
last evening came in very nicely
as an illustration to a sermon
preached by Rev. J. E. Smith, of
the 4th street M. E. Church, yes
terday morning, on Sabbath break
ing. If the text had been announ-
ced, the church would have been
jammed, but as it was, a very good
congregation listened to the power
full sermon. After delivering dis
course in the abstract, he began on
his last head and gave it a local
bearing. A certain garden, out
the pike, was the burden of his
complaint, and he charged it with
being the ruin of more young men
and young women, too, than all the
houses of infamy in the city. The
Commissioners had granted it the
license to sell liquors, he said,
and the daily papers had not the
moral courage to fight against it.
He referred to it as situated in the
eastern limits of the city, and de-
nounced it with all the force and
eloquence of which he is master,
adding that this was the first time,
he was sorry to say, the pulpit had
ever called attention to it.
This part of the sermon produced
profound sensation and many
chances were exchanged about the
church.

COmmendatOry Prophecy.

The Wheeling Register, in
blooming" one of the Devils Play
Grounds" near that city, known as
"Beer Gardens" says of the propri-
etor's arrangements for the "Glor-
ious Fourth" ...
"Not being satisfied with the
great inducements now offered to
families, he intends to have the
best conducted grounds on the 4th
of July of any in this vicinity,
having secured five efficient Off
GERS to keep order, and the moment
a man comes on the grounds in a
drunken condition he will be ejec-
ted"
And after thus giving the people
the comforting assurance that this
caterer to public dissipation will
have on hands sufficient force of
officers to ''cage" the 'dissipators,"
as fast as he makes them crazy
drunk, the Register closes with this
commendatory prophecy;
"And we predict that the garden
will be filled with the best families
in the city on that day"
O, what strange moral chame-
Icons some editors are, anyway!

Independent, published at Geneva,
Indiana:
TEMPERANCE IN WEST VIRGINIA.
The West Virginia people, at
least a good part of them, want a
temperance amendment to their
State constitution. The West Vir-
ginia FREEMAN, published at Par
kersburg, W. Va, is a red-hot
temperance paper, and is power
in the State. Rev. q. Warner,
minister of the U. B. Church, is
the State organizer, and is going
night and day, to town after town,
and county alter county, in the
good work. And the women, 0
shades of evening, they talk right
out in meeting, and tits ''phunney"
to read some of the criticisms of the
whisky editors. They sound to us
like the yelping Of badly whipped
puppy, and the sound of his voice
dying away in the distance.

Local Option Georgia.

The following is an extract from
a speech by DR.. H. B. Wharton, Of
Georgia, at the international Sun
day School Convention, in Louis
vile, KY.
"Our people have local option in
nlnety-one Of the hundred and
thirty eight counties. We believe
what God has put asunder man
should not put together. We have
a Christian State. When we met
IN Atlanta six years ago our pious
Methodist governor, A. H. Colquit,
presided. That governor was sue
ceeded by the good Presbyterian
governor, A. H. Stephens, and he
by the Baptist governor, Boying
ton, he by the devout Baptist gov
ernor, Mcdaniel. A majority of
our members of Congress are Chris
tlans. Both our Senators, Colquit
and Brown, are humble Christian
men. Senator Jos. E. Brown gave
$4,000 to your Baptist Theological
Seminary in this city, and $4,000
to educate the poor boys in Georgia.

was not what it is to-day. The

: Prohibition In Georgia.

Nasty, of the Toledo Blade, has
been visiting the South, and this
is what he says about Georgia:
PROHIBITION. The experiment
of prohibition has been tried and
found to work admirably. The law
enacted few years ago provided
that the counties might vote upon
the question as to whether the sale
of liquor should be prohibited or
licensed. The license law was very
strict, but there was a demand for
something more than license.
Whisky was running Georgia, as
it is all other States where it is
given free course. The State was
infested with little cross-road dog
geries, each one a breeder of pau
perism and crime. The laborer re-
ceiviLg his monthly wages was
sure to be enticed into one OF these
places and robbed of it. Drunken
ness made labor unreliable, and, as
the evil was increasing, something
had to be done to check it. An at
tempt to prohibit the sale Of liquor
in the State was defeated, but the
counties were given the power to
prohibit it within their own Dor
ders by popular vote. f
One by one they fell into line,
and to-day ninety.five of the one
hundred and thirty-seven counties
are well-nigh free from the curse.
Every land owner has an interest
in the enforcement of the law, ev-
cry laborer desires it, for his own
protection, AMI everybody wants it
but the liquor retailers in the State,
whose business has been killed, and
the wholesalers of the commercial
centers, who find Georgia no longer
field on which to browse.
The effect in the Prohibition
counties has been startling. La
Dor has been improved one hun
dreo per cent and the condition of
the laborers one thousand per cent.
Men who never worked but part
of a week, now put in six good
days, and those who spent their
entire wages at the doggeries, leav-
ing their wives and children to
shift for themselves, are now saw
ing money, and are looking forward
hopefully to the time when they
shall own land themselves-sonle-
thing very easy to accomplish in
almost any part of Georgia.
In one little village in county
south of Atlanta prohibition was
most bitterly opposed. The village
was at the junction of two railroads
and a very large force was employ
ed by the companies. There were
half a dozen grog-shops in flourish
ing condition before prohibition,
but the railroad managers, for their
own protection, enforced the law
and closed them.
Up to this time pay day was the
beginning of a saturnalia that last
ed half the month, and such
thing as saving a dollar never &C.
CURED to but very few of the labor
After the grog-shops were shut,
and the proprietors thereof COM
PEELED to seek pastures new, it was
found that the business of the soli-
tary dry goods and grocery store
was more than doubled, and trade
in Legitimate goods became SO
brisk that another was added, and |
still another. 1t will be observed |
in this connection that rum kills
every business except those of jails
and poor-houses. Nothing legiti-
mate can thrive where it reigns.

Extraordinarily.


There is moral lesson Of great value
growing out Of every calamity. Any one
who has been close observer Of the dis
tressing calamities which have visited
our country within the last few years
epidemics, FIRE, foods aDdlcyciones--must
have observed that when calls for relief
have been made they are responded TO
by the ordinary men Of the country-we
mean as 10 means.
The great millionaires, who boast Of
their fifty aud a hundred millions, are
seldom found contributing according TO
their vast wealth.
Do you see the name Jay Gould
heading the list with q hundred thous-
md or twoi Do you see Huntington,
and other monopolists planking down q
liberal amountf
Do we see the great corporations worth
millions-making their money, too, of
the very people now distressed-showinl
their libersii.y and charity?
Have they any charity or sympathy
for the distressed Sometimes some Of
them give q good sum, but men no
worth one hve-hundredth part give tel
times more in proportion than the sor
lid, heartless, soulless set do.
Some people expect to take their mil
lions with them 10 the other world wher
| hey die.

County High Schools.

Senator Roane, Of Calhoun, has in
lroduced n bill to authorize Boards Of
Supervisors in the several counties of
the State TO establish County High
Schools. While there is nothing man
datory in the bill, we think its pas
sage would have a beneficial effect.
Some Of the counties will thus establish
such school, and very soon the example
will cause other counties to do likewise
The bill provides that the high school
,hall form n link between the common
schools and the University and the A
and NJ. College, and also prepare pupils
for the especial work of teaching in the
public schools. The tendency Of our
whole public school system has been tc
destroy the many private high schools
that we're once in the State, and we hsp'
this will have the effect to partially
make amends for their loss.
