During the past year Wisconsin has
developed pronounced sentiment In
favor of high license az the most effect
i've means of restricting the evils of In
temperance. The last Legislature pass
ed law which raised the minimum
fee considerably above the old figures,
and allowe any municipality by pop
ular vote to increase the sum to $500.
An election upon this question Is be-
fore long to be held in Milwaukee, and
the contest promises to be n lively one.
The most noteworthy feature Of the
discussion is the fact that the German
press is not unit upon the issue.
While some of the daily papers pub
lished in that language bitterly oppose
any increase, the Gernadnia, IA weekly
which has the largest circulation Of
any German paper published in the
State. favors the change, saying: ave
are fully convinced of the benefits of .
higher license, and believe that here in
Milwaukee the saloons can well bear
license Of $3.50. or even $500" When
1.-THE beer-drinking Germans" begin to
favor high license, nobody can, reason
ably doubt that they are rapidly be-
coming Americanized.

A Surprising Sermon.

The Methodist camp meeting on
Martha's Vineyard this summer has
been somewhat dsquieted by a re-
marka BILE sermon which was preached
the other day by Bishop r. s. Foster.
The occasion was the dedication of q
chapel at quarter past 8 in the MORN
ing. The text was the question. "What
shall be the character of the services
held here in years to Gomez" The an
swer was In substance, mot a camp
meeting revival service, at all events.h
No wonder this answer, coming from
such a source, has excited surprise and
critical comment among Methodists.
The Rev. DR.. Foster, according to
the report Of his discourse before us,
takes the broad ground that modern
religious revivals for the most part do
more harm than good. People 90 to a
great summer resort like Martha's
Vineyard because they find it pleas
ant and healthful place for their fami-
lies and themselves, rather than be-
cause a camp meeting is held there.
They seek rest and recreation, rather
than the excitement Of q religious re-
yival. "Our tabernacle services" he
says, "must be adapted to the level Of
the thoughts and spirits of the people
while here. They may he such as will
elevate, broaden, and strengthen men
and women, and 80 make them worth
more to the church, without attempt
ing revival work" Thus he frowns on
revivals, denounces 'noisy services
and religious crudities." and asks his
fellow Christians to cease calling
man q sinner because he does not
shout.
If some outsider should say all this,
there would be nothing surprising in
it, but it is indeed noteworthy in view
of the position Of the speaker in the
Church itself.
1t would seem to indicate that some-
thing akin to what is called reform
within the party" Is going on in the
Methodist Church.-N. Y. Sun.

Penitentiary Printing.

There IL q Republican paper called
the Journal, published al Jefferson
City. The proprietors Of the Journal
have lately established a job office In.
side the penitentiary walls, and have
hired convicts to do the work. They
profess to do all kinds Of job printing
and send agents out through the State
to solicit orders for legal blanks and
other work. We learn from the Hon
est Laborer, another Jefferson City
paper, whose name fairly indica tes its
character, that the managers of the
State Normal school at Kirksville get
their job printing done at the Journals
convict Office. Kirksville is Repub-
Iican stronghold, and we presume the
Normal at that place is controlled by
the political influence which surrounds
1t; but we are not going to give Repub-
licans all the blame for the success Of
this effort to deprive honest printers OF
a means of support by having public
printing done by convicts. Missouri
is Democratic State. Her State off,
cia)s are all professed Democrats, and
her institutions are all supposed to be
controlled by Democrats, and 1t ia
through Democratic connivance and
permission that the journal is enabled
to work the convicts in competition
with honest laborers. It is, therefore;
the imperative duty of the Democratic
press of the State to take notice OF the
facts and see that the evil is nipped in
the bud. Speak with no uncertain
sound. Don't be afraid of getting on
the corns some clever or influential
officeholder or officeseeker: but let them
all understand plainly, that convicts
must not be farmed out as printers.
Then let US 60 farther and see to it
that they are not farmed out in compe-
tltiOn with any other class of honest
or honest laborers. II nee.
essary, let Us make it an issue in the
next campaign, and elect to the Legis-
lature none but honest laborers and
their friends.-Jeferson Democrat.

His feet are bare.

Peep through the crown!
