TIE Petersburg InGe1-Appeal challenged
anybody, some days ago, to give figures

ment of 1745, aud the cost Of books to pupils
was g, $50 81. In making this estimate the
number of pupils using each particular book
was multiplied by the cost Of The book at
contract price. Now, State Superintendent
Farr's recent report to the General Assem-
bly, shows that the enrolment in the State
was SOS,343. Dividing this by the Alexan-
dria enrolment, We have nearly TIA en-
rolled pupils to each one in Alexandria.
The cost of text books for the entire State
would therefore be SAL ,S92 A." Will the
Inds1 appeal give Us the rate of additional
taxation necessary to raise that sum?

ANOTHER trial for hazing is now going on
at the Naval Academy Mt Annapolis. This
simple announcement, and the fact that he
has been there for several years, would
seem sufficient to ordinary people to prove
that the officer in charge of the academy is
not the right man for the place. No matter
how fond of hazing the young men at the
academy may be, if they have the sense
they were born With, they would not in
dulge in it if they were certain that per.
emptory and irrevocable dismissal was the
necessary consequence and, with proper
man at the head Of the academy, that Ger.
tainty would be indelibly impressed upon

Whiskey in Politics.

There has always been a great out
ely against religion in politics, and
temperance in politics, but till recent
ly not word against whiskey in pol.
itics. The following news item is a
sample of it's effect in the body pol
itic:
The st. Louis Grand Jury has
found indictments against FIVE men,
bers of the House Of Delegates Board
of Aldermen for drunkenness, and
against three others for levying black
mail. The New York IA indicted
aldermen have not yet been tried, as
the District Attorney is waiting

also trying to secure more evidence
from some of the aldermen or the
boodle-distributor Mallory, on prom

A Weak Point in Our Proh1b-
itOry Laws.

The frequenters of hidden saloons and
BUYERS of illicit whiskey are mainly
depended upon to furnish evidence.
When whiskey has downed a-man and
has him fairly under control, to swear
a lie is the least of the crimes he is cap
able Of If the punishment was shifted
onto such witnesses, who, when found
drunk refused to tell where they get
their rum, the alternative would then
be given them, to go to the house of
correction, pay the fine ortell the truth.
This would be imposing no unreason-
able punishment. They could escape it
by simply telling the truth, which
every law obeving citizen should do
without compulsion

prohibition law, and holding it there
we would still gain an immense advan-
tage. 1t makes drinking disgraceful.
1t makes selling disgraceful. 1t makes
the custom questionable and lou in the
eyes of the rising generation. If we
can't shut up the grog shops they will.
If we cannot compel judges and juries
to enforce the law they will. II we
will not authorize search warrants to
investigate suspected dens they will. If
our courts admit the evidence Of braz-
en- liars, theirs will not.
Let us establish the law which can
and should be enforced, and if our Of
ficers refuse to do their duty. go to the
people with these naked facts, and ask
them for their votes.
The Star asks one significant question
docs the JOURNAL relish the idea of
electing men to make laws, who will
express no opinion upon prohibitory
laws before the election?"
On the contrary, the JOURNAL was, If
we mistake nDt, the first paper in the
county last summer that urged the
temperance people to demand an an
swer to this question. from the candi-
dates, and which called on them for an
answer. Did the Sar join US in that
demand? Did the third party JOIN us?
Not a man of them ''chirped."

Crystal Lodge in the Fl old.

This organization of Good Temp
lers held their first public demon
stration in the M. E. Church on Wed.
nesday evening last.
The meeting was raped to order
by Mr.. Mount E. Kirk, Lodge Dep
uty who announced the object of the
meeting and program of exercises.
The choir sang "Sweet by and by till
we meet on that beautiful Shore"
Essays, dialogues and recitations pre-
pared and selected for the occasion,
were read and recited by the memb-
ers of the Lodge. They all dwelt on
the evils of the rum traffic; and
the essays prepared for the occasion
dwelt on prohibition as the remedy
and a Prohibition Party plain and
simple as the medium through which.
and by which to work.
Rev. Mr.. Milligan of Zion Presby-
terian church had been chosen to
make the address, which was able
and earnest. The chief point of his
argument was the necessity for form
ing a distinct prohibition party, the
rum alliances having secured chief
controlling influence in both the old
parties, which they held by shifting
their strength from one to the other
as circumstances required. The rum
interest was completely organized
and held in it's hand the anti Ameri-
can foreign communistic element.
which had lately seveloped alarming
strength in our politics. In short it
was impossible to release either of
the old parties from the firm grasp of
this power, and it would be easier.
in fact the only hope left, to organ
ize Prohibition party whose war
cry should be against the saloon, the
foreign institution through which
our American institutions were be-
ing overthrow and our politics de.
bauched. Erect this standard and
call the hosts who are fighting the ev.
il with disorganized force, to rally
under that flag. The house was
crowded, the meeting enthusiastic
and it's heart evidently in the cause.
