A Paragraph for "High'' License
Men to Study.

From a correspondents letter to
the Wing we take the following par
agraph which will bear repeating sew
eral times:
"Hon. Geo. VIM. Brown, chief judge
of the supreme bench Of Baltimore
CITY. says: "Reginning in Maryland
with Caroline county. it has gradual
" extended over about half Of the
state with remarkable results in d.
minishing drunkenness and GRIM and
promoting general prosperity and
morality" Hon. Henry Page writes
as follows: "On the whole. my opin-
ion (which I think is that of large
majority OF our best citizens) is that
the law is a success and has done our
community great good" Mr.. T. A.
Nelson. highly respected and
worthy citizen of Delmar, Del. in a
recent letter to religious journal,
says. in proof that prohibition does
prohibit, that on the 4th of October
he visited Bishopvile, Md, and found
all The rum shops in full blast, with
drinking. swearing and fighting right
in the center of the town. About ten
months later he made a second visit
and found quite change since rum
had been driven-no drunkenness,
no swearing or fighting. This is the
universal testimony where prohibition
has been given fair trial."
Has not a similar history been
made in some places in Cecil with
even our halfway prohibition law?

free people, and new questions of pub
lie policy must, from the very law of
change, depend on party distinctively
its own for success, and draw its re-
cruiis from the old parties, composed
of men whose views are in accord with
each other.
The present national parties are not
divided OH any important national
questions
Examine the debates and votes in the
last Congress. Scarcely Il vote was TAX
Ell that party lines divided the memb-
ers on. Mr.. Cleveland took up the rou-
tine duties of president where Arthur
laid them down, and quietly followed
the old grooye-in fact there was moth
ing else to be done. A few officers were
turned out and their places filled with
others, no better no worse. The demo-
cratic party has no new principles
which it seeks to develop. 1t has been
an opposition party nearly for the past
quarter of a century. The mission
which deyolved upon the Republican
party was the overthrow of slavery and
a more perfect ur ification of the gov
eminent. 1t has accomplished that
work, a great and glorious history, but
it is completed and the wheels of gov
eminent adjusted to the new gauge,
and either OF the existing national par
ties must necessarily move steadily on
ward in the same groove, let which
may hold the reins of power.
But as soon as old issues are put to
rest new ones arise to occupy public
attention, and such issues are now
pressing for recognition, which neither
of the old parties have the power to
lay firmly hold of, for the reason which
we have pointed out. The members of
both old parties are divided on these
issues; and the politicians who control
their organizations fear change as they
fear an earthquake, for every change is
full of imminent danger to their interest.
The uprising in the public mind
against the whiskey traffic is growing
every day more intense; the transport
alton monopoly is following close in
the rear demanding redress by the
govern nent. The telegraph and rail-
road monopolies are taxing the indust-
nv of the country millions annually
The gambling rings in stocks, in grain
and every product that enters into use
bv the laboring classes are Lying issues
These with other questions closely
allied to them are clamorous for atten-
ton, and the old parties are powerless
to seize and control them. They make
feeble attempts to attsch them as side
issues and to shelve them in national
and state legislation, but the popular
demand is growing louder and more
The tide is rolling in and
1t is fruitless for old parties to stand
like Canute and say to it thus far and
no further, nor dare to wet the feet of
your royal master.

Animals Advantage Over Man.

Let us suppose the mental powers grad
ually diminished, while the bodily powers
remain unimpaired. Suppose that pro
cess continued, until the mind no longer
troubles itself about unseen things, but
is content with drawing inferences from
actual present sensations so that the look
ing forward-the taking thought for the
morrow, which is the principal source
Of human mental suffering-ceases
to exist. You then approach the consti-
tuition Of one of the higher mammalia.
1t Is constitution in which the chief
sources Of human pleasure remain un-
touched, while the chief sources OF hu-
man pains are either removed or dimin-
ished. In such a constitution, as COM
pared with man, the reduction in total
pleasures should be relatively small,
while the reduction in total pains
should be relatively large. Grant
to an animal so constituted un-
stinted food, and it ought in theory to be
happier than a human being the limita-
ton in its pleasures being more than
counterbalanced by far greater limitation
in its pains
Imagine q graminivorous quadruped
with limitless pasture and you have a
state Of things in which you ought to
find the maximum of happiness of which
the organization is capable. Granted
that the totality Of its pleasures would
not equal the totalIty of human pleasures,
by far more would the totality Of its
woes fall short of the totality of human
woes. II such an animal can not taste
the pleasures of the knowledge Of good
and evil, neither has it to taste the mis-
cries Of poverty and loneliness, Of loss OF
wife or child, of failure in business, Of
knowing not where to procure food or
where to lay its head. The problem how
to make both ends meet never vexes the
mind of the ruminant; monotony has no
terrors for the OK; no fear oppresses it of
another's rivalry; no jealousy of another's
success. Even when disease and decay
overtake it it knows nothing Of that
which makes disease terrible to man
the knowledge that it must end in a
separation from those whom he loves

The Writing of the Stars

The marvellous nature of star photo
graphs is keenly appreciated by Mr.. K. A.
Proctor, the English astronomer, who
says: IL know not how it may be with
others, but find myself strangely moved
by Photographic records of the heavenly
bodies. To see on q small area Of photo
graphic film the ripple marks of light
waves which have travelled across the il
limitable depths OF interstellar space, tax
ing years or centuries on their way, to
close their career by writing down their
record for the astronomers on our tiny
earth-this, surely, is among the most
moving achievements of the science Of our
day"
Describing the process of engraving a
zincographic plate, by sunlight, from the
star-made negative, he concludes: Thus
was an engraving formed by the action Of
the stars and our sun alone-or, remem-
bering that our sun is himself a star. We
may say that the photographic plate from
which charts are printed was the work of
the stars only! No human hand has
touched the disk shaped hOllows by which
each individual star has record ed its
place, e,"-Arkansaw Traveller.

A CnrefnI Chanernne.

A careful chaperone was heard to say not
long ago to her pretty charge, a young girl
whose figure showed some tendency to
ward embonpoint: My dear, you really
must not grow any fatter. You cannot af-
ford TO gain another pound. 1t must be
stopped" And thus the valiant dowager, in
terpOsing her stately command between the
young woman and the young wOmans natu-
raj and lawful appetite for dinner, reminds
one of Charles V and the faithful old servant
at the monastery of Yuste. With utter self
devotion he would fling himself in the breach

he had shielded the person of royalty with his
