Rev. AUGUST BEssoNIEs has made public the

REV. AUGUST BEssoNIEs has made public the
following letter, on the subject of high license:
''All honor to the representative of Allen
county, Mr.. McHenry. for being the first to in
troduce high-license liquor bill. l am glad
such bill is of Democratic origin, and has for a
father the representative of Democratic strong
hold, although it would please me better if it
had license of 81, 900 and $500 per year instead
of $500 and $500.
II hope that such bill will meet with no oppo-
sition, and that Democrats and Republicans will
unite TO pass it, as demanded Of them by the
general views of their constituency. The prohi-
bition measure does not seem to be practicable
now, because not backed by public opinion. but
have no doubt high license advocated even by
large number of saloon keepers will be meas
ure that will be acceptable to the largest portion
OF the people, and will decrease crime and pau
perism. At the national convention of the
Catholic Total Abstinence Union Of America,
held in Chicago last August, every member APP
peared to be in favor of high license, and have
never heard any objection to it except from
Keepers of small saloons. am glad the council
OF Baltimore has spoken plainly about the liquor
traffic. AUG. BESSONIES, V. G."

SpurreOn Defends the Gazette.

LONDON, July 13.-The Rev. Mr. Spurgeon,
yesterday, preached powerful sermon on the
patrician iniquity Of London, as expressed by
the Pail Mall Gazette, during the past week.
MIR. Spurgeon took for his text the 10th
verse of the I'd chapter of the Epistle
of Paul to the Romans, which he quoted
in defense of the Pan Mall Gazette's work
in making its exposures. St. Paul, so the
preacher said, felt it necessary to mention the
hide0us vices of the hsathen and left reees1 s1

written to shame the denominations of the
age, almost past shame. There was judgment
for sin in this world, for both men and nations

empires of oppression and cruelty, and full of
iniquity. When the sin of these people could
no longer be tolerated, they were wiped off the

one could tell what blood shedding and suffering
came upon men for their iniQuities. "Why
