Work and Whisky.

The Toledo (O.) Blade truly says that
if the working-men of this Nation were
free from the appetite for rum three
fourths of the saloons would have to
close up for want of patronage. Every
man who takes the pains to investigate
can find out the fact that the saloon
keepers live principally off the hard
earned wages of laboring men. When
payday arrives in any large manu-
featuring town the GROCERIES do their
most rushing business. The money
that the mechanic or laborer should
spend on his family is squandered on
drink and goes to fit up a costly bar.
to dress the saloon-keeper's wife in
silks and. satins, to furnish his table
with rich fare; while the working
mans wife dresses in calico, his chill
dren in shreds and patches, and their
fare is of the poorest. Heaven alone
knows the misery suffered in that
home which has drunken son. What
is the reason that the honest, sober
element in the various trades unions
do not direct their energies to the ex-
termination of this ruinous traffic,
which draws the bulk of its sustenancc
from the very men they were organized
to benefit? Why is not the united pow
er of theseHnions directed to the loosen
ing of the rum powers hold upon
their members, to saving the young
men in their ranks from falling into
the clutches of the demon? Why do
they not unite against the monster evil
of our land, which is the greatest enc
my of the working classes?-N W.

The ProtectiOnists Again Successful.

Mr.. Morrison made an effort in the House,
last Saturday, to bring up his tariff bill again
for consideration, but was defeated by vote
149 yeas to 154 nays. The majority against
considering the bill was 5. If all the mem
bers had been present the protectionists
would have had but 2 majority. Last sum
mer its consideration was defeated by II ma
jority. With the exception of McComas,
Republican, all of the Maryland delegation,
including Mr.. Findlay, voted with Col. Nor
rison. Twenty-Five Democrats, including
Randall, of Pennsylvania, voted with the Re-
publicans against considering this bill to re-
duce the tariff taxes. Only Republicans
voted for consideration.
The Republicans, as plainly as the Demo
Gratis, see the necessity of lessening the bur-
den of taxation, but the methods proposed,
we fear, will be entirely different The Dem
ocrats want a fairly adjusted tariff, in which
American industries and American. labor are
properly protected, while the cost of the ne
cessaries of life are reduced to minimum
point. The Republicans, as is evident from
their leading journals, do not want the tariff
changed They are seeking to reduce the
surplus by wipinggout the internal revenue
taxes on whisky, tobacco, &c. On the issue
of cheap food and clothing or cheap whisky
the Democrats need not fear to go before the
country.

Another meeting of the congregation was
called and it was decided to 20 down 200 feet
deeper and use siX-inch pipes, provided a favor
able contract, with guarantee of u full sappy
of good water, could be made. Accordingly the
committee, consisting of Rev. Don Luigi Sar-
tori, j. ii. llaviland, Patrick Clark aud Jere
Sullivan. made contract with Mr.. j. W.
Craig, which has been successfully carried out
The six-inch pipes go down 154 feet. In these
l62 feet of three inch pipes were placed ending
with cylinder of the most improved kind for
drawing water These threc-inch pipes con-
tain the pump rods, terminating with plunger
of the latest improved brass-ball pattern.
The water ascends to within 100 feet of the
surface, from whence it is pumped up.
The entire well cost 81 0l0.10, of which one
third is to be paid after one month of Unsatisfactory
use; one-third after two months and the re-
mainder after the well has stood a test of q
years use.
For fifteen years st. Francis Church has had
no water 1T to drink on the premises, and while
the cost Of the new well has been considerable
the congregation are to be congratulated upon
having such permanent and valuable improve
ment. 81 have reason to believe" added the pas

procured by undHc influence when Mr. Hardes-
ty was not of sound and disposing mind. The
execution Of The will Of 1882 was proved, the
plaintiffs limiting its application to its rcvo-
cation of the will of 1870. They also introduc-
ed evidence to prove that Mr.. lIardcsty was not
competent to make a will in 1885. The de-
PENDANTS produced evidence that Mr.. Hardesty
was competent in 1885, and that he destroyed
the will of 1882 before the execution of the
codicil of 1855
The case was argued for the plaintiffs by Mr..
Thomas NJ Clendlnen and Col. L. Ii. Webster,
and for the defendants by Niessrs. Otis Hinkley
and S. TeackIe Wallis.
The young lady plaintiffs were present, and
with their counsel received many congratula-
tions. They shook the jurors by the hand aud
thanked them. If sustained, the effect of the
verdict will be that the estate will lie distrbut-
ed according TO law, and the plaintiffs will re-
ceive the onc-fourth which their father would
have taken, subject 10 the interest of the widow
of the testator.
the defendants counsel filed their appeal to
the Court of Appeals, on Saturday. They say
that if the verdict is sustained they will set up
the will of 1882 which also disinherits the
plaintiffs. They also say that if Mr.. Hardesty
was not competent TO make codicil in 1885, as
the jury found, neither was lie competent &c
destroy the will of 1882
On Monday counsel for the defendants with
drew their appeal and made a motion to strike
out verdict because the name of Miss Eliza
beth H. Hardesty, one of the plaintiffs, was with
drawn during the trial, after she had testified AZ
a witness, and no notice Of the withdrawal hat
been given to the court or jury. The defend
ants claim that the withdrawal vitiates the yer

THE HARTFORD Comfy TEACHERS INsTI-
TUTE closed on Wednesday afternoon after
session of three days. The teachers were
kept busily employed during the entire time
and engaged earnestly and intelligently in
the discussion of the various topics brought
before them. Before leaving State Superin.
tendent Newell expressed his qualification at
the interest taken in the Institute by the
teachers and pronounced it the best he had
ever attended in Hartford. The people of
Hartford are proud Of the excellence of their
public schools, and owe debt of gratitude
to the teachers, which they can discharge by
encouraging the regular attendance of chill
dren at the schools and by au occasional
word of sympathy and kindness to those
who are engaged in one of the most noble
and at the same time most trying pursuits in
life.

of Democrats in Baltimore.

A conference of leading Democrats of the
State was held at Rennerls Hotel, Balti-
more, on the 10Th instant, with view of
party in Maryland Among those in attend
ancc were ex Gov. VIM. II. Hamilton, State
Senator Clarence Lane and Ii. II. Keedy, of
Washington county; Gen. Bradley T. John
son, Thomas McCosker, John Stewart John
K. Cowen, Major Richard NJ. Venable, G.
Harlan Williams, Joseph B. Packard, w. A.
Hanway and James T. Briscoe, of Baltimore
city; Albert Constable, John S. Writ and
DIR. Mackall, of Cecil John Dodd, of Queen
Anne's; G. l.. Rogers, of Baltimore county
Hope Barroll, of Kent; Samuel Brooke, of
Anne Arundel; Philip D. Laird, of Mont
gomery; David Lynn, of Allegany; John
Moeres, w. Smithson Forwood, of Hartford ;
Col. Bryant, of Caroline j. e. Wood, of
Frederick, and Gen. Hardcastle and Paul
Winchester, Talbot. Ex-Gov. Hamilton was
the chairman of the meeting.
1t was decided to call public general
meeting in Baltimore, January 11th.
The general meeting is expected to call a
State convention TO reorganize the purity
An address was adopted which asserts that
there is general discomfort and an evident
longing among the disinterested masses of
the party for better methods and practices
in party organization and for better govern
ment.
Among the reforms demanded are more
complete and perfect registration of voters
for Baltimore city; the suppression of bribery
and the extraordinary and unnecessary use
of money at elections; the lobby should no
longer be tolerated, useless offices should be
abolished salaries be made moderate and
fair, extra allowances or gratuities cut off,
rigid economy in public service enforced and
public officers held to strict accountability.
Taxes should be reduced to the lowest point
necessary. The specific taxes levied to pay
the public debt should be religiously applied,
and the laws for the creation and preserva-
ton of the sinking fund enforced
The assessment of office-holders for politi-
cal purposes should be prohibited by law and
iihSo3 DoooNo anu NhIliH tuC party
for personal interest should be discounteu-
anced.
| With these objects in view Democrats OF
the city and counties are invited to meet in
Baltimore on Tuesday, January 18th, 1887
ITO take into full consideration what action
may be thought necessary and expedient to
be taken in the premises"
Opinions may differ as to the best method
of bringing about the reforms mentioned in
the address, but no good Democrat can find
fault with the objects proposed. The high
personal character, ability and loyalty to
Democratic principles of the gentlemen who
participated in the meeting entitle them 10
respectful hearing from the party. While
we do not believe things are as bad as repre-.
sented, at least in the counties, we have nc
doubt reforms are needed in party manage
ment in Baltimore city, and if party supre.
macy is TO be maintained change must be
made. The parcelling out of offices, months
in advance, by self-constituted leaders will
if persisted in, weaken party ties and event,
ually destroy the party.
