Bad.
There is no interest perhaps in this
world of ours that assumes to be OF such
Importance as the doggery interest. The
man who makes living by keeping
den of vice, goes upon the hypothesis
that human bodies are mere garden spots,
where he may plant his crop OF vice and
sin, and reap harvest of money. If he
can keep the appetite diseased, and the
man helpless victim, he can pluck the
last penny from the poor fellow. Upon
this diseasing of mems appetites lies the
doggery-keeper's hope of success All
human hopes must be sacrificed to the
one object of filling the pockets of set
of lazy loafers who are not fit for fellow
ship with any man who has bit of heart
or conscience.
But let a man advise a friend to quit
drinking, and howl goes up from every
doggery-keeper because the business IS
being ruined" What is remarkable about
this state of affairs is the fact that intel
ligent men will fall into the trap thus set
for them, and souls be at the mercy OF such
cattle. The bloated loafer will stand in
front of his den and with all the assur-
ance of his Master, Satan. declare that
he represents the "business of the town.
His business consists of a faucet, with
keg of liquid damnation at one end,
and an imp of perdition at the other. A
sweet spectacle to present to the world
as a business advertisement Iti anus
ing indeed to note the writings and
squirmings of these fellows when any
good influence seems to be gaining popu-
larity among the people.
Take for instance, the advent or the
Salvation Army. No matter what may
be the preferences Of church people for
some other method of awakening interest
than parading in the streets, it cannot be
denied that the trend of the teaching OF
the Salvation soldiers is toward sobrlety
This has already aroused the bitter ha-
| tired of the doggery interest. Their busl-
ness is damaged whenever men quit guZ-
zling their poison, and they attempt to
control public sentiment in the interest
of their sinking dens. At the meeting
at Jones' Hall a few days ago was noticed
one of these fellows who was going

| stead of exciting ridicule for the ladies
he was so outrageously ugly that he only
| excited disgust for himself. Another is
said to have made the remark that "a
military company ought to be formed to
run the Salvationists out of town." Ha
