''Much aiity-whisky is at the
bottom.
As to the remedy OF correcting these
evils the following suggestion are made:
Laws prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of liquor would improve the
work ingmen'S condition.
'I.ocal Option has improved our col
dition'
q prohibltory law wonld do much
for our improvement"
The liquor traffic has 4 bad effect on
trade; prohibition would do good
"Prohibition is needed"
"Should drink less
Total abstinence.
"Men should not spend so much time
in saloons"
I'VE must have a prohibitory law be-
fore our condition is much bettercd.'
The shoemakers OF Newark must
have better organization, if they are
ever to improve; also less breweries and
Saloous.'
"What is wanted is that men should
drink less and keep better hours"
Better education and legal prohibi-
ton of the sale of liquors."
"Do not believe in prohibition entirely,
but think that many workmcn would be
better off if we had it.
"Whcn rum has been ba"i>hed there
will be some hope
1--WE should also support aud encnur-
| age each other to resist the evils Of
drink"
"prohbition is about the only thing
which will elevate wcrkirgmcn.

SIGNIFICANT SENTENCES.

The Bureau of Labor and Statistics
of the State of New Jersey annually
addresses large number of printed
circulars to the working people of the
different counties of that State, rela-
tive to prevailing moral conditions.
The New York hdcbcndcNf recently
published the following quotations from
the report of the Bureau showing how
widely intemperance is recognized as
the painful source Of evil in the COM
munities referred to.
"Whisky and beer are tie great ob-
stacles here"
''Intemperence is the cause of very
much wretchedness in our families"
''The great evil is strong drink
"Our morals here are low on account
of rum"
'Many of the hands drink to excess" :"
THE liquor traffic has bad effect on
our trade"
'Strong drink Injuries great many
of u.s..
"Morality would be good except for
drunkenness"
TOO large portion of our wages go
to the seller of rum and beer"
Ignorance and intemperance are the
chief causes which prevent us from in
proving"
"Inlemperance is the great vice of the
painters"
drunkenness is the bane of the work
ing classes
"Many of our men love beer more
than their families"
"Drink is the workingman's curse"
tobacco and liquor are great in

Except for beer and whisky, we are
very moral"
"Rum does much to lower u.s.
"Workingmen drink too much for
their own good"
''Rum and beer are our great enc

WHY SURVIVES He?

But few weeks ago one of the two
central figures of the Southern Con
federacy-Mr. Robert Toombs-found
a final refuge in the welcome sugges-
/ ton OF his own name.
He DIDN'T die with his boots on, as
many of his turbulent contemporaries
I did, but surrendered his restless spirit
! back to its Giver, surrounded by his
/ friends, and not deEied in his last mo
ments the sweet offices of friendship,
