The biennial report of the State
Board of Charities and Reform shows
that during the year 1884 there were
6,607 prisoners incarcerated in the
county jails in Wisconsin, of which
6,SsS were males, and 224 females. OF
these prisoners 2,419 were foreign
born, and 1927 native born; 2S1 could
neither read nor write; 1851 were
habitually Incorporate; $40 between
ages of 16 and 81. The foregoing sta
tistics are entitled to serious attention.
The proportion committed to prison
for habitual intemperance, shows the
alarming extent of the evil. Who
pays the cost of all this mass of crime,
besides the demoralizing effect on the
community? Can the liquor traffic,
even under high license, pay for the
damage it inflicts upon the people.

And, with the chastensd Psalmist, own

For vanished smiles long,
But God hath led my dear ones on,
And he can do no wrong.

Assured alone that life and death

And if my heart and flesh are weak
To bear an untried pain.
The bruised reed he will not break,
But strengthen and sustain.
No offering of my own have,
Nor works my faith to prove;

And plead His love for love:
And 80 besi9e the Silent Sea

No harm from Him can come to me
On ocean or on shore.

a Nice Story.

A portion of the Democratic press,
and the so called Independent press,
have circulated q nice little story
about President Cleveland's desire
not to appoint men to office who
have been hanging about Washing
ton to receive an Office. The story
runs thus: "A Senator and three
Representatives are said to have been
urging the President for sometime to
appoint a friend of theirs to office.
Finally the President told them that
he had about concluded to do SO,
and asked where he should address
the gentleman in case he wanted to
see him. "Oh," was the reply: ''he
is here. He has been here since the
4th of March. You can see him at
once" Gentlemen, the President
is said to have replied, 'that settles
your man for me. If he has any bus
mess at home he must have neglect
ed it. and a man who will neglect his
own business will neglect the Gov
ernment's. If he has no business,
that's worse yet. l don't want idlers

TIE editor of London Pail Mall
Gazette almost choked the moral
sense of the Christian world, by
charging that the virtue of girlhood,

was first published, all of the vile
element of London, proposed to ex-
tinguish the Gazette and its editor,
but before the editor ventured on
the righteous work he had consulted
with men of character in many parts
of London. The exposure has re
ceived the hearty approval OF the
Queen. Parliament has ordered an
investigation by men of character,
selected from the several districts of
London. The report of the commit
tee will find a great deal more to re-
veal than the editor published. The
world will be still more shocked at
the revelation. But exposure and
punishment of debauchers for mer-
chandising in the virtue of girlhood
is the remedy to check the depravity
of the greatest commercial city in
the world. The first financial city
in the world seems to be almost as
deeply stepped in the mire of human
depravity as was Sodom when the
