they make and offer; true, and some ig-
norant people buy tainted beef, imma-
ture veal, unhealthy vegetables and
stale bread, because they do not under
stand the laws of health; but our author
tiles very wisely punish the man who
offers such for sale.
The liquor fraternity, infdels though
they generally are, quote the Bible as au-
thority for making and using ardent
spirits. If they would only read the
whole Bible thoroughly, reverently,--
seeking to know what it teaches on this
subject, they would find that the princi-
pie, "Do unto. others as we would that
they should do unto you'' or your son,
would forever deter a man from putting
the bottle to his neighbor's mouth. Or,
"if eating meat maketh my brother sin, l
will eat no more meat" This principle
adapted, would forever shut the mouths
of those who say they are not to deny
themselves the luxury Of drink because
others, not so strong, abuse the privi-
lege. They would find the terrible ana
themas hurled at the man who gives
strong drink to his brother or the awful
doom pronounced upon the drunkard,
and that its teachings are persuasions
and golden promises to those who
cease to do evil and learn to do good; to
the victims of the rum-seller, every in
ducement to reform, but to those who
for greed persist in Turing the unwary to
destruction, terrible retribution.
The effort to regulate the sale of strong
drink and allow it to continue is, and al
ways must be- failure, as anyone who
witnessed the liquor trial in the mayors
courts last week, must admit, for no
man who is so lost TO all sense of right as
TO engage in the saloon business at this
age ofthe world, can be regulated, unless
he be locked up. The true inwardness
of the liquor dens, the perjury and NOR
al degradation that was brought to light
on that occasion, terrible as it was, is
doubtless but shadow, compared with
the dram-shops of the large cities, where
murders, robberies and conspiracies of
every conceivable sort are planned. How,
then, can men, in favor Of law and or
der, good citizens, Christian men, en-
courage the continuance by license, or
regulation by tax, a business employing
nearly seventy thousand men, to disburse
this vile stuff, who grow meaner and
meaner, so that if even they do get what
they deserve, place in the penitentiary,
they would be disgrace to its walls and
inmates. lieL llW Gscll t-fHA
We are for the legal suppression of the
saloon, that this seventy thousand men
may be saved from the consequences that
await them, If they continue in the BUSH
ness, that they may become useful citi-
zens, and for the sake Of the vast army Of
their victims and the untold blessings
thereby resultipg 70 our country.

Strong Drink Useless.

1t has been demonstrated by eminent
chemists that alcohol does not contain
food as any nutricious elements that
build up wasted tisue of the body, and
is decided to be deadly poison by ply
sicians and chemists Of unquestionablC
ability. Explorers in the Arctic regions
on the deserts of Africa and the malari-
ous jungles of the topics, have been de-
cided in their opinions, based on obser-
walton, that alcoholic drinks are not only
useless, but dangerously evil in their eff.
fects; and this is corroberated by statis-
tics of old life insurance companies, which
has led them to reject risks on lives OF
habitual drinkers on the strictly busi-
ness principle of making money, which
is very sensitive test; and 1t is true
that more men are frozen to death while
drunk, thai otherwise. Then, 1t being
true, past any doubt, that alcohol as a
beverage is not only useless, but damag-
ing to health and fearful in its moral
tendencies, let us prohibit its introduce
ton and sale.
r Some drinker may say we are trying
to abridge his rights by shutting off his
supply. / suppose man has legal
right to eat or drink what he likes, If he
can get it; but no man has moral right,
or right as citizep, to do anything that
lessons his ability as producer. Of COM
forts of life for his family, no right to in
capacitate himself by the use of strong
drink from doing his part as a citizen, to
add to-the advancement Of Christian civ
ilization, and thereby promote the hapi-
ness of those around him. No person
can avoid the responsibility Of producing
something needful and beneficial. The
rum-seller must see why the honest pro-
ducers Of the necessaries and comforts of
life have reason 70 complain that he not
only does not produce anything useful,
but helps to make paupers, criminals,
imbeciles and lunatics for the honest la
borer to support.
Brewers and distillers say they make
market for vast amount OF grain, hops,
etc., and employ large number Of men.
SO much the worse, for the grain is worse
than wasted, which would feed millions
Of starving, human beings, and the labor
is diverted from channels of useful indus
try. They complain of being deprived
of their property by breaking up their
business; as well might the counterfeiter
complain when his plates, dies and boz
gus money are destroyed, or the burglar

The Evolution Of . Crank.

Some cranks revolve and other evolve
This crank has done both. He has reyolv
ed In his mind certain facts, and eyolvet
from them certain fancies and conclu
sions.
OF course, coming from crank, these
are of no value; but it may be Of Interest
as a matter of curiosity.
One of these fancies Is that the politi
clans Of both old parties in our country
occupy themselves chiefly in that anima
ted game, "Simon Says Thumbs Up" The
Simon in the case is usually the liqael
dealer.
At another time II seems to this crank
as if the two old parties were playing al
see.saw. The "teeter" rests on barrel
marked "Old Bourbon or xxx Ale
On one end is the Republican party, and
on the other end is the Democratic party

But in the middle stands the saloon.keep
er with one foot on one side of the barrel
and the other foot on the other side, and
by leaning his weight to this side or that
he determines all the ups and downs
These are fanc!es the crank has evolv.
ed. Now for few of the facts.
The first fact is that, within the last
four years, eleven Republican and eight
Democratic State Legislatures have re.
fused even to allow the people to vote on
the question of saloons or no saloons.
When the crank went TO school he used
to be taught that this Is a country Of the
people, for the people, by the people. Our
State Legislators don't seem to think that
this applies when the saloon is at stake.
May be not. They ought TO know.
Another fact is that while the Federal
Congress has within the last few years
appointed Commissions to Investigate In.
TO the tariff question, the silver question,
the grasshopper plague, the pneumonia
epidemic among cattle, the hog cholera,
and many similar Commissions It has
year after year, at the crack Of the liquor
dealers whip, voted down the bill to ere.
ate Commission which should report on
the effects that the liquor traffic has upon
society. And the funny thing is that IL
doesn't make any difference whether Il Is
a Democratic or Republican Congress, the
bill is always showed under, Just the
same. afi
The crank has an idea that the effects
Of the liquor traffic are almost as import.
ant to the country as the effects Of hog
cholera, cattle pneumonia, and Kansas
yasshoppers. Congress, Il seems, doesn't
agree with him. The crank can't help
that, He would II he could. p
Another fact Is this, that we have been
having pretty hard times. One million
men, they tell us, were short time ago
out Of work in this country. Think Of
thatl The crank saw mills closing, fac
tories shutting up, merchants falling; but
he looked In vain to see the saloons shut.

Divorce-Another Seeking IL,


Divorco-Another Seeking It,
Justice Cox yesterday granted a divorce
to Mary A. McNair from Malcolm A. Nc
Nair. They were married at Eufala, Ala,
In March, 1871, and came to this city four
years later, when he wcut into business.
lie left his wife In December, 1888, and she
did not see him again until twenty days
after, when he sent for her; after which he
went away and remained until March, 1884,
when he wanted her to borrow $500 from
her father for him. This she refused to do,
and Mr.. McNalr remained away until No
vember. They lived together until Deem
Der, when he left, and she has not seen or
heard from him since.
Justice Cox also granted a divorce TO
Edella Burdette, who wanted her marriage
with John w. Burdette, which was solemn
lied at Burlington, Iowa, Feb. 2, 1881, an
nulled. A month after the marriage they
| came to this District aud took up their res
| idence In Georgetown. She states that
| from the commencement Of their married
| life her husband failed to provide support
for them and she was compelled TO seek
| employment, which she found In the gov
| charges that during all the time they were
| housekeeping in Georgetown her husband
was under the influence OF drink and many
| times In q state OF beastly drunkenness, ut
tering profane and violent language, threat
ening TO cut her throat and shoot her. She
endured this life until September, 1881,
when forbearance ceased, and breaking up
housekeeping she went TO boarding, but
there was little improvement secured by
the change. Influenced by the considera-
lions given above and fearing for her life,
In October last she left her husband, In
forming him that she would never return.
The wife then cites subsequent acts of cru
city, all Of which being considered by the
court are regarded as ample to justify the
| granting Of decree.
Another Disconnected pair added their
contribution Of misery to the divorce mill

isied party in this instance and wants to be
divorced from john Cruso. Her maiden name
was Morris, and the couple were married
May II, 1877. She says that her health
broke down in 1881, and her child died.
While she had to pay for the burial out of
her earnings, she complains that her hus.
