rs A TEMPERANCE TOWN DE-
SIRABLE2

Towns and cities have a reputation
abroad good, bad, or Indifferent, much
the same IS individuals. There are
but few people who would not much
prefer to reside in town having a
good name than in one evil spoken of.
1t is common to contrast the general
character of different towns and cities
as we do different persons. Every one
who has visited or heard described the
village Of Evanston, thirteen miles
north of Chicago, on the lake shore
railroad, speaks of the place with ad-
miratiOn. Its neat dwellings, fine
school buildings, handsome churches
and we'll Backgrounds, do not fail to
attract the favorable notice of all Wis
itors. The secret of this thrift and
neatness can be told in few words
Evanston is decidedly temperance
town. The charter Of the Northwest
ern University, located there when the
town had its first beginning, wisely in
terdicted the sale of intoxicating liquors
within four miles of the University.
The exclusion of intoxicants, together
with the literary advantages, were the
reasons for drawing there a population
of culture and refinement, surprising
other towns where intoxicants are not
under like restraint. 1t is to the ex-
clusion of temptations to inebriety and
dl unkenness that Evanston owes its
present standing as moral and order
ly town. Suppose it were possible for
the people Of that town to procure re-
pect of the law prohibiting the sale of
spurious liquors, and permit dozen
or fifteen drinking saloons to be estab-
lished, how long would the place main
tain its present reputation for quietude
and good order9 How long before di-
lapidated sidewalks might be found in
commoding the pedestrian, profane
street brawlers met, and loafers stand
ing on the street corners, waiting for
some passer-by to invite them to go in
and take a drink? Probably the sensi-
bic man cannot be found who will de.
clare that the liquor saloons in Keno
sha have aided in advancing the pros
perity of the city. 1t would be difficult
to find candid citizen who would ex-
press the deliberate opinion. that if all
the liquor drinking places were elimin-
ated and put away the city would run
to decay and its future prospects
be blighted,

POLITICS IN ENGLAND.

England of late years has taken
greater interest in the political affairs
of the United States than the latter
has in English politics. One reason
probably is, the English government
has been approximating nearer to this
in the matter of popular suffrage, and
the two countries are becoming very
much alike in their law-making powers.
The parties in England are preparing
for the election which is to occur in
November next with as much earnest
ness and vigilance as was ever shown
by the great political parties preceding
. Presidential election in the United
States. A general Parliamentary cleo
ton in England resembles very much
in Importance general election in this
country. 1t is decisive as to which
party shall be entrusted with power,
and also indicates the foreign and do
nestle policy of the government. In
one thing the result of a general cleo
ton in England differs widely from
such result in this country. It does
not involve general change of all the
ofice-hulders, as does the defeat of one
party and the triumph of another in
the United States. In this matter the
English system is better than ours, in
asmuch as it saves all ofice-holders
who have their positions by appoint
ment a world of anxiety in respect to
the issue.
The voting element of the last cleo
tons in England numbered about 6,
100000. By the suffrage extension act
now to go into effect 100000 of new
voters for the first time will exercise
the franchise right. This increase
of the voters to 100000 unfolds
