Effects of Beer Drinking.

1t may be of interest to some of
our readers to hear the conclusions
of Science in regard to beer drink
ing, as well as those of Temper
ance fanatics" The following is
taken from the Scientific AnaerG-
can, one of the most reliable sci
entifc papers in the country;
"The use of beer is found to pro-
duce a species of degeneration of
all the organs. Intellectually, a
stupor amounting almost to paraly-
sis arrests the reason, changing all
the higher faculties into a mere an
imalism, sensual, selfish, sluggish,
varied only with paroxysms of an
ger that are senseless and brutal.
In appearance, the beer drinker
may be the picture of health, but
in reality he is most incapable of
resisting disease. Compared with
inebriates who use different kinds
of alcohol, he is more incurable
and more generally diseased. 1t is
our observation that beer drinking
in this country produces the very
lowest kind of inebriety, closely
allied to criminal insanity. The
most dangerous class of rufians in
our large cities are beer drinkers.
Recourse to beer as a substitute for
other forms of alcohol, merely in
creases the danger aid fatality"

The Seed of Anarchy.

Sabbath desecration is the seed
of anarchy. Those railway COM
panies which have encouraged
Sunday traffic and excursions, are
only reaping what they have sown
when they are met with strikes,
boycotts and dynamite. Those
city and State officers, who stand
aghast at the violence of social an
archists, have for a generation
been preparing for it by winking
at the violation of Sunday laws.
And the eloquent newspapers,
which SO loudly denounce the So
cialistic movement and its excess,
may congratulate themselves that
more than any other agency have
they helped on the cause of goddess
misrule by their sneers at Puritan
ism and their Sunday newspaper
abomination. Social sanity will
return with a Sabbath kept sacred
by the whole people, Baltimore
Methodist.

Temperance Republicanism in
Massachusetts.

The Republican Temperance
Conference in Boston, to which we
alluded last week, proved to be a
carefully planned caucus to declare
that the Republican party eis
committed to the support of what.
ever makes for the moral and
material welfare of the people," and
therefore that it ought to oppose
the saloon Internationally, and
favor such legislation "as may be
best adapted to restrict the LIQUOR
traffic within the narrowest DOS
sible limits" This was good, but
vague. The caucus would not
mind the helm. There were many
earnest Prohibitionists present,
and they asked something little
more defnite-some intimation,
for instance, of the kind of legis-
lation that would be desirable.
To attain this object, Senator
Morse proposed a resolution ex-
pressing the opinion of the Confer
ence that the question of consti-
tutional Prohibition should be
submitted to the voters as soon as
possible. The managers of the
Conference opposed this declaration
strenuously, as sure to divide the
party. But it was evidently accept
able to the majority, and it was
adopted by the imposing vote of "a
to "a, upon which some of the
managers regarded the movement
as a failure, and withdrew. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether the State
Convention will adopt the sug-
gestion of the Conference. But it
will not wish to disregard it, be-
cause the resolution is the evident
ultimatum of the Prohibition Re-
publicans. Moreover, it was invi-
ted by the managers of the Confer
ence, and as it does not commit the
party to Prohibition, but only to a
submission of the question, it
might be wisely adopted.
The managers should have count
ed the cost more closely. They
were interested, not in Prohibition,
but in the party. But they should
have known that the Republicans
who would come to the Conference
would be mainly Prohibitionists,
and that they would not be put off
with few smooth generalities. In
any case, the Conference has had
the good result of making probable
positive declaration from the
State Convention, and it has per-
haps taught the managers a valu-
able lesson.-Harper'8 Weekly.

Temperance and Intenper-
anCe.

There is temperance in eating,
as we'll as in drinking intoxicating
LIQUORS. and over indulgence in the
one will result in as much
harm as intemperance in the
other.-Intelligencer.
We agree with the Iatelligencer
that there is, Cor at least, ought to
be) temperance in eating as well as
in drinking, but we are rather
doubtful as to intemperance in eat
ing being as harmful as it is in
drinking. Who ever heard of
man breaking up his furniture or
beating his wife, or seeing snakes
in his boots, or committing MUIR
der or suicide, merely because he
had eaten too many fapjacks?

saloon to the public, and has a large

A man named Ferguson, from
the country, while mapping on the
streets Thursday night, was reliev-

erably, and consequently was in
such condition that he was an
easy subject to prey upon.-Hunt-

An homogeneous Classification.

A lady correspondent of the
Church Ne,Us writes as follows:
81 am a constant ready of your
little sheet, which wish God-speed
in It's mission of advancing the in
terests of this Diocese. AS a gener-
al thing, I read its communications
with pleasure, but in your issue of
April 10Th there was an article en-
titled "a trip to Spencer" which,
while really quite interesting, and
written in an admirable spirit OF
charity for other denominations,
contained one expression to which
l must take exception. 1t was
this; "These good people came
miles to the services, and l return
ed their calls, dining, sleeping,
smoking and praying with them"
Now, I object to this incongruous
classification of duties. Indeed, l
doubt whether smoking forms any
part of Christian minister's duty,
in his intercourse with his parish
toner's. X 4;
| respectfully submit that, other
things being equal, the Minister of
the Gospel who uses tobacco has
less influence for good with his
people than the one who does not. I"

COVE COUNTY GLEANINGS.
OVER THE COUNTY.

Sept. q, 1886.
Grass in fine condition.
All kinds of stock are getting fat.
There have been fair crops this summer
and lots of feed put up.
Cove City and Grainfield are getting
ready for the conflict on October 10.
Newcomers are hunting locations, but
Uncle Sans land is about all taken and
claims are sway up"
There is live man in Grinnell, and they
call him Capt. Houston. He runs the
Peoples Press, and Johnnie c. wants to
know if it will press the people.
When we look back for seven years and
consider how quiet, Trego county has been
in electing her officers and what gentle
manly and accommodating men she has
always selected, and with perfect harmony
in the Republican ranks, with that wide
awake quill driver to guide them-W. s..
Tilton-we wonder if Cove can possibly
do as well. We are sorry there are so
many asking to be a county charge, and
some that have not had time to lay aside
their grip sacks yet. Forsooth, men, can
you not make living without asking the
county to support you? if the people
need your help, they will ask You. Did
you ever feel hot wind? Did you ever
pick bones on the prairie to get bread for
your family? Have the grasshoppers ever
eaten you up? Consider, have you left
your modesty in your grip? If SO, get it
out; it is not far away; pay your board
bill and the landlord will hand it to you;
then, if you cannot get county Office,
you can go at your old trade.

Kansas to the Front.
Lawrence Journal.


At the great anti-saloon convention at
Chicago, Kansas was of course at the
front. Please notice, as in the cause of
constitutional prohibition, so also in the
matter of "anti-saloon," Kansas leads.
That insures the success of the movement
and beyond peradventure. Everybody,
almost, said Kansas would go back Oh
prohibition. She hasn't done it. It is
100 per cent. stronger in Kansas than it
ever was. It has converted the entire
republican party, and it is fair to say
one-third of the democratic party in the
state. Let us see.
VIII some one name single republican
who is not prohibitionist, and who is
not in favor of the present laws, and
more stringent legislation if necessary to
enforce prohibition? The best brain of
the democratic party in Kansas to-day, is
in favor of enforcing the law, is at heart
and in fact prohibition. Democrats have
boys, as well as republicans, and fathers
having boys, whether democrats or repub-
licans, don't like the surroundings of the
saloon, its fetid atmosphere, its stihed air,
its bloated and blear-eyed loafers, that
there oft do congregate, its staggering
and swearing inmates, its drunken rowdy-
ism and beastly orgies that are nightly
kept up within its hellish precincts.
Kansas isl 500 per cent. better, cleaner,
purer now than it was four years ago.
No amount of lying can prevent this fact
being generally known and generally
admitted. She has to-day the most
orderly, the most decent and cleanest
capital city in the United States. She
has the purest and finest university town
in the United States. A town to which
fathers would like always and everywhere
to send their sons to be educated.
At Chicago, Chief Justice Horton, the
shrewdest and most sagacious politician,
as well as abont the best Judge we have
ever had on the bench, led in the anti
saloon convention for Kansas. The ad-
mirable arrangements for the state delega-
ton are due to bis wise provision. Noble
L. Prentis was the orator for the delega-
ton, and he did bis work perfectly, of
course. He is the best ten minute speak
er in the state.

Our Opinion.
Lincoln Republican

We admire men who can get into a
primary and before the people fight for
their candidate, and then if some other
man gets the nomination, buckle down
and work just as hard for that man and
the whole ticket, as they would for their
individual choice. We have our opinion
of republican who elevates his nose in
the air, if his candidate is not nominated,
and suddenly discovers that there was a
great deal of corruption in the campaign,
and bolts the ticket, through an over dose
of virtue.
