POVERTY IN GERMANY.

A Massachusetts young man, now in
Germany as a student, writes home of
the distressing poverty which he sees in
Germany; OF tie way women have to
work to keep their little ones from
starving; that they are glad to do q
mans work, but cannot always find it to
do, and in that case must beg; that
women bear heavy burdens OF produce
to market, and in addition to the load
on their back is frequently a nursing
babe in their arms; and he adds: 1.-THE
question arises, where is the father ?
Most likely in some beer-gardep, with q
mug of beer before him. without a
thought of the hungry mother and child,
who are wandering through the dark
Ho says: Everybody drinks beer
do not care to associate with
any of the young men, es the great and
all-important question with them is:
Where Is the best beer There
is no home s%ooiability here. What So
liability there is is found in the restaur-
ants, where women and children, high
and low, meet together, and the children
learn to drink before they learn to walk

Pile that makes the homes of America,

the American into the German type of
home life. and everybody here, as in

ErrEors OF LOCAL OPTION.

The Atlanta Constitution gives notes
from some of the prohibition counties OF
Georgia, as follows: Prohibition went
into effect in Pierce county in April ],
1880, or six years ago. The year previ-
GUS, the total valuation of real estate for
the eouaty wag $544.2S3; last year it was
$3.50, $50, or 9n increase of over 60 per
cent. AT the same time the county tax
has been reduced from 81 liz on the
hundred to 35 cents. The county is free
from debt and has several hundred dol
lars in the treasury. The merchants,
oisizeus and board of commissioners of
Hartwell, in Hart county, testify, over
their signatures, to the following facts:
1.-THE morals aud social habits of the
people have been most remarkably i'm
proved. The religious sentiment among
the people has grown in strength and
influence. The farm houses in our coun-
ty bear the marks of improvement, and
everybody is by common consent united
and striving for the interest and prog
ress of the county. The trade of our
town has improved, and is growing bet
ter every day. The money that was
once wasted IN liquor is now spent for
home comforts" Eighty business firms
of La Grange unite in this testimony:
"The antis said that prohibition would
ruin our town, but since it's adoption
about $150,000 have been permanently
invested; twenty new houses now going
up, no vacant stores or residences, and
our town ia greatly improved. Our
people are unanimous as to good done
by it morally and financially" The
clerk OF the court testifes that the list
of signatures to this declaration includes
all the business houses in the city, with
two or three exceptions.

address: The spirit of feudslism walks

their control of the national highways,
their occupation of great domain, their
power to tax; their cynical contempt
for law; their sorcery or debasement
of gifted men to the capacity of splendid
slaves; their pollution of the ermine of
the Judge and the robe of the senators;

SEEING IS

The national teachars' assnniatinn
received q most impressive object lesson
! n prohibition by meeting in Topeka,
Kansas. A leading. member of the
association told us TINT during their
nine days stay in that western capital,
he and other teachers from various
parts of the country, made it their bust
ness to go through all the highways and
byways of the olty to see if prohibition
did prohibit. Nowhere did they find
the slightest evidence of liquor selling;
the testimony borne in open convention
and ratified by that great body of intelli-
gent men and women was, that they had
not SO much as had the smell of alcoholic
liquors while WITHIN the limits of Kan
sas. They interviewed scores of teachers
from all parts of the state, and received
from them the unyarying testimony that
in, only two cities in Kansas are there
open saloons.
President BALDWIN, OF the Texas state
normal school, told us that the associa-
tion was profoundly impressed by this
object lesson, and the hundreds OF
teachers, however skeptical they may
have been when they came, returned to
their homes thoroughly convinced that
prohibition does prohibit.-Uniop Signal.

outside OF working hours, and much of them

1t is of first Importance that an EN-.
phatic word of warning should be given
against the use of ale. beer, and of malt
liquors altogether. They are commonly
supposed to be particularly nutritious

are cheaper than other liquors, and their
alcoholic strength not SO great, and fe.
all these reasons are more commonly
used. But it is a scientific fact that the
drinking of malt liquors of oil kinds

not notice it much. Its name was "The Story
of a Country Town" by T.. w. Howe, But
one day a friend brought it to the notice of
the literary editor of The New York World.
The style was so entirely simple, 50 limpid,
and at the same time so unique that the book
reviewer recognized at once that here was a
literary discovery of worth. A long notice
was given to the book. Next day every copy
of it on sale in New York city was sold.
Mr.. Howe was perceived by all who read
the book to be q genuine American novelist,
an ~outgrowth of our owl soil, not an imitator
of English and French story writers. The

enough to stand on while we build the

of the old parties can furnish as.
There isno issue now before the nation
on which party lines can be clearly

by which it is made was obtained by a half
breed from the Greek Indians who inhabited q
