helpless family on every provocation. Under
these circumstances, while the prohibitionists
are prohibiting, is it wise to pass by this OBJ
jectionable drugs There, too, is fried steak.
Fried steak is devastating article of food,
and its ravages should rouse the professional
reformer and exterminator to his strongest eff
forts. Singularly enough, however, little at
tention seems to have been paid to this fruit
full source Of crime and cooks all over the
country are permitted to serve up the most
leathery and deadly steaks without interior
ence from committees of public safety.
The hot soda biscuit is another evil to which
little attention has been paid by reformers.
There are no statistics to show how many
once guileless men and women have been
driven to dyspepsia and from dyspepsia to
crime by biscuit, and in brief newspaper
article computation cannot be entered into;
but, putting it roundly, the number is legion.
This evil is more insidious, perhaps. than
some others, penetrating as it does, to the
purest and most righteous circles. That it is
not always fatal is evidenced by the circurn-
stance that one aged prohibitionist of Indiana
who became addicted to the biscuit habit
forty years ago, still insists upon be-
ing served with this demoralizing food
three times each day. The fact that
he still lives and has not been convicted Of
any crime, cannot, however, be held as proof
that biscuits are not demoralizing, since there
is reason to believe that had his food been Of
different character he would not be an ad-
vocate Of third party.
We repeat, there is no reason why reformers
who undertake to correct the evils Of life by
invading private households should confne
themselves to a single form of vice. While
they are reforming let them be thorough.
Halfway measures in this direction are worse
than useless.

TIE EVANSTON REFoRMERs.

The conduct Of certain of the Evanston uro
hibitionists in spying and prying into the pri-
vate lives of the residents Of that village, is
but logical outgrowth of the intolerance and
tyranny involved in the methods by which
these extremists propose to reform the world.
There are no saloons in Evanston; but these
self-constituted guardians Of public morals
suspected certain citizens Of buying beer for
home consumption, and it was hoped that by
system of espionage the guilty persons
might be detected and boycotted. Since they
were engaged in the business of sneaking into
home circles it was thought well to
incidentally keep sharp eye out for
card-players, although the chief object Of the
search was that Of discovering and
branding the man who dared to indulge in
glass Of beer or toddy for his stomachs sake
in the seclusion Of his own home. The
establishment Of this detective service was
premature, owing TO the failure of certain Of
the town trustees at the last moment to rally
to the support Of the ordinance imposing
fine of 5000 upon the partaker Of glass of
liquor. It was expected that the ordinance
would be passed, aud cases were being pre-
pared for prosecution under it. The reform
ers have retired from active operations on ac-
count of this miscarriage of their plans; but
there is little doubt that the attack will be re-
newed at the earliest opportunity.
There is no reason, however, why these
moralists should confne themselves to the
abolition of whisky aud cards from the HON es
of Evanston or whatever stronghold Of dissi-
patton and sin they may see fit to attack. If
they undertake to remodel the domestic life
and customs of the people, there are other
evils which should not be overlooked. There
is, for instance, the quinine habit. The
universal testimony of homeopathists is that
this drug annually carries countless thousands
Of victims to their graves. The man who
keeps bottle of whisky on the sschilnbley
piece for medicinal or other purposes may
be a degraded being, in homeopathic
eyes, but he Is scarcely more reprehensible
than he who deliberately loads his pockets
with quinine and administers the same to his

comparison is out of the question. The thing Is

other than IL Is. and no true believer could de-
sire 1t to be aught elsa" It is not known just
what the Courier-Journal thinks the public
might expect Of Miss Anderson, or Of true and
perfect art. 1t is not fair to say of her that
while she is a success ais an actress. she would
fail as dress maker. or that she would succeed
better at the silk counter than as kitchen girl.
AS the Courier,Journal aptly declares. no true
believer could desire aught else. We don't I'M
derstand how this talented lady is distinct from
all the world Of actors, but are willing to con-
cede it rather than have dispute with Mary's
adopted city.
