Decreased Use of Liquors.

Is consumption of alcoholic liquors
decreasing? The returns through
the bureau of Internal Revenue of
spirituous and malt liquors for the
year ended June 80, 1885, as COM
pared with those of the next preced-
ing fiscal year, would seem to indi-
cate as much.
In 1856 there were distilled Co..
156,9O2 gallons of spirits; in 1854
there were 79,6lG. .9O1 gallons. Here
is a difference of 10.459. .999 gallons.
In malt liquors there Was produced
in the year ending last June, 49,
1SO,903 barrels, against 1898, GAO
the previous year; being an increase
of 182,254 barrels. An Eastern
journal, after an examination of
these figures, concludes that, leaving
out OF the account imported liquors,
which may be regarded fairly as hav-
ing fallen off in the last year, and
making due allowance for decreased
consumption in the arts, it is appar-
ent that there has been a notable de-
crease in whisky drinking.
This conclusion is confirmed by
the number of retail dealers, brew
cries, ETC., returned by the Internal
Revenue Department for these two
years. In 1884 the retailers of dis
titled liquors aggregated 1873, ,SS6; in
1885 the number was 180,677. This
shows a decrease of 3,219. On the
other hand, the retailers of malt
liquors increased 1.04S. The total
number of dealers of all classes re-
ported in 1884 was 200, ,3O6, against
195, GIT in 1885. In the same time
the brewery figures were respectively
2,240 and 2,202, a decrease of 38.
The large reduction in the number
of retail liquor dealers indicates that
the immense decrease in the produc-
ton of spirits has been owing to less
drinking. What proportion may be
credited to hard times and what to

The Ohio Democracy.

The Democratic Committee of
Ohio has issued o circular to the vo-
ers Of the State in which the Ma
tional Administration is thus COM
mended.
&" We enter upon tho campaign
under the most auspicious circum-
stances. We are in possession of
both National and State Administra-
tions, and the affairs of both are be-
ing wisely and safely conducted.
The record of President Cleveland
has justified the hopes of his friends
and disappointed the predictions of
his enemies. A few months of pub
lie service has demonstrated that his
Administration is to be one of con-
science and courage. Many abuses
have been corrected and necessary
reforms inaugurated. Corruption
fostered under Republican rule has
been exposed, and large reduction
in expenditures has been made in
nearly every branch of the public
service. The favorites who pos
sessed the navy department have
been driven out, and their illegal
contracts, obtained by indirect
means, have been set aside. Mil
lions of acres of the public domain.
which had been enclosed by land
grabbers, have been reclaimed and
this vast Territory secured to actual
settlers. Finally, all sectional an
imosity has ended and complete har-
mony is restored between the north
and the south.

Beer as q Beverage.

Serious attack upon beer as a bev-
e1age is made by the Scientific Amer
ican. 1t says that the prevalent
idea that beer is healthful is a delus.
ion, and that it is more deleterious
in its effects than whisky. The hab-
itual use of beer, it continues, is
found "to produce a species of de-
generation of the organs; profound
and deceptive fatty deposits, dimin-
ished circulation, conditions of per.
version of functional activities, To-
cal Inflammation OF both tho liver
and the kidneys, are constantly pre-
sent. In appearance the beer-drink-
er may be the picture of health, but
in reality he is most incapable OF
resisting disease. A slight injury,
a severe cold, or shock to the body
Or mind, will completely provoke
acute disease, ending fatally. Com
pared with inebriates who use differ.
ent kinds of alcohol, he is more gen
orally diseased. The constant use ol
beer every day gives the system no
recuperation, but steadily lowers the
vital forces. 1t ia our observation
that beer-drinking in this country
produces the very lowest kind of inc
briefly, closely allied to criminal in
sanity. The most dangerous class
of ruffians in our large cities art
beer-drinkers."

The Anti-Chinese Riot.

AuJutaDt-Uenerai Orum last week
telegraphed Instructions to Major
General Schofield of Chicago to or
der additional United States troops
to Evanston, Wyo., where the flee
ing Chinese are concentrating and
to all other points along the United
States mail route in that Territory
where there are any indications of
trouble. Information was received
that the two companies of soldiers
ordered to the scene of the disturb.
ance had arrived at Evanston and
that the condition of affairs there is
threatening. Instructions have al
ready been given to the United
States troops in Wyoming that in
case the trouble continues the Pres
ident and the Cabinet will consider
the question of the direction of the
military for the suppression of the
disorder by the use of arms if ne
cessary.
DR.. McCartee, who is not an at
tache of tho Chinese legation, but
who resided in China for forty years,
and part of the time a representative
of this country rs an officia; in the
Chinese diplomatic service, speaking
concerning the diplomatic aspect Of
the Chinese trouble in Wyoming,
says he thinks it may be the subject
of a correspondence between the
Chinese Foreign Office and the
State Department here, but he does
not think China is likely to use Wig
orous action in the matter. In the
first place, he says, the Chinese Gov.
ernment is opposed to the emigra
tion of its subjects. There is in
China law, which was in force until
few years ago, which absolutely
prohibited Chinese from leaving the
country, but of late years it has be-
come dead letter; but it is still the
policy of that government to pro-
hibit the Chinese from leaving that
country. The Chinese immigrants
in this country, while not exactly
outlaws in their own country, are
looked upon with much disfavor.
The Chinese government does and it
can prevent Cinnamon leaving the
country, and it is only through the
efforts of foreigners that the large
number OF coolies were brought
here. Under the circumstances DR..
McCartee thinks the Chinese officials
do not care much about The Wy
oming affair, and that it has not be-
come generally known in China. An
attache in charge of the Chinese le-
CATION here. in the absence of the
Minister, stated that they had not
communicated with the State Depart.
ment and that they were waiting to
hear from the Minister, who is now
in New York. He thought, however,
correspondence on the subject would
be opened, and that notwithstand-
ing his country's opposition to her
subjects leaving home they had not
done so in violation of the law and
had q claim on their country.

A Wonderful Metal.

Aluminium is the most plentiful of
all metals. The world contains ten
times as much of it as of iron. Ev-
cry clay bank is an aluminium mine.
1t can take the place of almost every
other metal and largely that of wood.
1t is the strongest metal known, be.
ing more than three tons to the
square inch stronger than the best
steel. 1t is three times as rigid as
the best of bronze, and a cannon
made of it would be lighter and far
stronger than the best now made.
1t seems almost indestructible, as
neither air, water, salt nor acids
have the slightest effect upon it. 1t
is the best conductor of heat and
electricity known, and a telegraph
wire made of it might be fine as
thread and last practically forever.
Strangely enough, with all these pro-
perties, it is lighter than many kinds
of wood, as a cubic foot of it weighs
only 1GG pounds, while iron weighs
451 pounds. 1t is suitable for any
thing the common metals are low
used for, from the smallest wheel of
watch to ponderouS steam engine.
Why is it not more in general use
Simply because thus far toe expense
of obtaining the metal from the clay
beds exceeds its commercial value.
But artisans and chemists are not
easily discouraged. No doubt means
will be discovered for its easy ex-
traction, and then the iron age will
have passed into history, as that of
stone and bronze have already done.
