CHICAGO COTTAGE ORGAN

AT prices never before offered in
this city. For years past the
high prices of pie mos have been
due to the enormous commits
sions of the local agents, in some
instances being as high as 60 pei
cent Of the cost Of the instru-
ment. We are now in posi-
ton to furnish the instruments
at figures which will have the
effect Of placing first-class in
struments within the reach OF
people of small means.

AMONG the measures of chief impor-
lance dependent upon the action of the
present Congress, is the Interstate Com
merce bill, which was passed IN the Senate
last week by the decisive vote of forty
seven to four. So great degree Of unan-
unity upon bill involving such impor-
tant interests is remarkable The bill is
designed to apply a remedy for the great
evil of discrimination and unjust charges,
which could not be reached by State au-
thority. 1t authorizes the formation of
a commission of i've men, who are en-
powered to fix scale of charges which
is to be binding until judicially reversed.
The evil sorely complained of, in the
granting of special rebates and drawbacks,
through which the roads exercise an un-
far discrimination, is prohibited. The
Camden amendment. which absolutely
prohibited the charging of greater rate
for shorter than for longer haul, and
made the rates entirely proportional to
the distance, which would have done
great injustice to the produce interests of
the west. was modified by vesting the mat
ter in the discretion of the commissioners.
The members of the commission must
devote all their time to the duties of their
position, have no interest in any railroad,
nor shall more than three of them belong
to the same partY.-Er.

On the Northwestern dining cars the

foot is the following significant sentence:
Positively no liquors in the foregoing

A gentleman who was ANXIOUS to know
whether this rule was strictly observed,
was conversing with the steward of one
of their cars and suggested, as feeler,
that he supposed this order was honored
in the breach as much as by the OBJ
servance. The reply was prompt and
positive: mo sir, that means just what
it says. Why, come this wayland see, -
the steward added. The inquirer was led
to the wine closet. where his attention
was called to wax seal placed over the
key hole by the steward who runs to
Savannah, and it will be serious matter
to an Iowa steward who does not return
the car with the seal intact"

"L1BERTY," SOCIAL

PERSONAL CELEBRITY" SO-CALLED.
Monticello Times: 'sThe saloon ele-
ment of Minnesota have formed an as
ISOLATION with the avowed purpose OF
crushing out the law and order leagues,
and have adopted the following plat
form:
l. To protect and uphold the personal and
civil liberties of citizens of the State of MIN
nesota, to protect and defend its members
against any prosecution resulting from al
legged infraction of sO-called temperance laws
and any other legal provisions which aim at
want ten oppression OF our personal rights
2. To secure to persons engaged in the
sale of fermented liquor, so long as they
conduct their business in an orderly and be-
coming manner, the same rights and priv1-
business interests, as all good citizens are
adverse to discrimination and monopolies.
For pure and unadulerated hypocrisy
commend Us to the liquor dealers as
sociatlen. A business which destroys
more life. all liberty, and mere homes,
than any other business, besides running
the happiness of millions, has the ef-
frontery to ask the protection of the law
abiding people Of the state. 1t is now in
order for all classes of men outside of
the pale of law to band together and ask
for its protection. The temperance
people will welcome this organization,
and meeting its defenders at the bar of
public opinion, win crush them by the
logic of facts and argument.

liquor sellers in it's behalf.-Omaha Bee.

THE UNIVERSAL VICE,

To the Editor of the Globe:
Isn't Christianity the only form of re-
ligion which teaches that the Incorporate
use Of spirituous liquorshsia sin? Please
answer to settle a dispute. B. NJ. G.
No. In the Pentalogue of Buddha is the
following language: "Obey the law and
walk steadily in the path of purity, and
drink not liquors that intoxicate and
disturb the reason" The Khoran says:
"Oh, true believers, surely wine and lots
are an abomination, q snare of Satan,
therefore abominate them" Veda says:
Drunkenness is the worst of all vices,
for it obscures reason, which is a divine
ray from Brahma's SELF" Thus it will be
seen that there is no form of religion,
whether Buddhist, Mohammedan Or
Christian, that does not regard intern
perance vice.-St. Paul Globe.

A Recent discovery.

Steam has for years been the
king of power, but there is good
reason to believe it will soon be
booted from its throne, as Ten-
nyson says by the ''howling mob's
million feet 1t appeares that an
experiment was made with a new
motive power at Brooklyn recently,
the occasion being the launching
of the ship Eureka, which is forced
through the water by the continu-
Gus explosion of gas at the stern.
The gas is supplied by a small
engine located amidships and oc-
cupying only five feet of space,
and it is claimed that vessel
equipped with this new power of
propulsion can be made to move
through the water at great speed.
According to a description OF the
vessel, it is so constructed that the
gas can be exploded at the bow in
case it is desired to run backward,
or either side when tits necessary
to turn the ship sharply around.
The gas is ign te | by electricity,
and exploded through covered port
