DR.. FRAzRE's LEcTURR.-The Presby-
terian church was literally crowded with
our people last Friday night on the occa-
sion of the bi-weekly temperance meet
ing. There can be no doubt but that
the announcement Of DR.. Frazee's
lecture was the chief incentive to this
general and excessive attendance. The
doctor consumed upwards OF an hour
in reading his address and a careful
and approving attention was accorded
him to the close. The discourse
throughout was decidedly character
istic of the speaker and most certainly
original. The universal expression was
that il was the most practical temper
ance lecture ever listened to. 1t did
not consist Of an arraignment OF the
saloon keeper nor the victims of the
"abuse of alcohol" neither in a pallia-
ton of their acts, but was directed TO
the cause, and a number of logical
suggestions advanced as to the remedy.
Society and the policy OF our govern
ment (federaD we're held to be radically
at fault. By exActing revenue and
granting a license for the manufacture
OF spirituous liquors the government
not only sanctioned but encouraged
that business. That the wealthy and
powerful capitalist engaged in distil-
ling, refining and brewing should be
fawned upon and respected was but a
n--P1al consequence. A generation
ago fact that human slavery was a
wroA : dawned upon this nation and
that now has been thing of the past
these twenty odd years. A decade
hence the speaker hoped TO see the
manufacture Of alcohol in all forms
for use as beverage likewise relegat.
cd to the things that were. The gov
ernment will discountanance this
traffic just as soon as society, the
people do; no sooner. This was but
one OF many thoughts presented, but
TO the editor, who has given the sub.
ject no little thought, seemed suggest.
i've Of more possibilities as to practical
results. History repeats itself and
the doctor could not but think thai
should the Inhabitants of southern
Europe persist in their present "abust
of alcohol they will again be over
thrown more eilectually than by ths
Norsemen Of old. lie could see nc
similarity between the petulent and
irritable Frenchman OF to-day and his
forefather, the ancient Gaul. Thi,
discrepancy II this degeneration - b,
was unable 10 account for on any
theory save because OF the inmoderats
use Of alcohol, absinth and othel
spirituous beverages. At the close o
DIR. Fraxee's address our city mayor
w. l.. Trott, made short address
directed chiefly 10 our own local posi-
ton on the temperance question. Hi
remarks we're pointed but could com'
nom no one with better grace. Th'

As reasons for the existing state OF things
among the full-blood Indians Of the nation 1
advance the following: believe the primary
cause TO be the administration Of the so-called
school system. This much yauntsd and highly
praised school systsm Ia being wrested by pol-
itlelAns, and used as an auxiliary TO their Ad-
vAncement. SO much so Is this the case that Il
ls not uncommon TO hear teacher speoulatlng
on his prospective advancement provided his
political party Is successful in the next
campaign.
tls generally acknowledged by the intelll-
gent people OF the country that our school
system lie fast taking the shape OF pension de-
partmert OF the government and that schools
are being issued to those In need Of pecuniary
assistance regardless OF their qualifications as
teachers. This practice Is so general that we
find the so-ealled null blood schools Of the ma
tion unable TO keep up their average and schools
are discontinued by the board OF education
when they have scholars SUFFICIENT 10 keep .
full school In the eyss OF the law.

OBDURATE OLD FoLKs.-The Frisco

teen and eloped because heartless
parent long ago promised her hand to
another. On the 2lst G. A. Chapman,
a lawyer. and Minnie Brinegar, the
village school marm, from Winston,
Missouri, also reached this modern

occasion oficiated. The romance to
this case was not given, beyond the
bare fact that unwilling parents had
made the journey necessary. All
seemed as "happy as clans at high
tide" and we dare say will always
retain kindly regard for Vinita and
all of her folks.

A Costly OATH.-Dr. Barnes, the
presumable owner OF the cattle sold
some time ago by the sheriff Of Saline
district is trying to regain possession
Of them. A citizen named Leslie was
holding the cattle, nearly one hundred
head, when the report got out that
this doctor was the owner. The
sheriff at once took measures TO expell
the intruder and his stock, when
Barnes went before the executive and
swore he had sold them to Leslie some
time before. This placed the matter
in an entirely different position and
without delay the sheriff seized the
cattle and sold them under the law
forbidding the importation during the
summer months. Barnes could not
have made more disastrous statement
and surely must have been ignorant OF
the law. Ills lesson il he was the true
owner, is expensive will be remem-
bered.
