The tailor, when he has finished new
coat places it where it may be seen by the
greatest number of customers; when the
shoemaker finishes a first elssS pair OF
boots, he places them in his window, be-
cause the exhibit tends to increase lis
trade. With the liquor seller il is quite
different. He is ashamed of his finished
work, with him the new material is always
worth more than the finished article. Were
he to exhibit that. he would lose his trade.
No wonder he is afraid to exhibit his work.

Prayer concerning s,runl.cnncss

The chaplain Of the house Of reprcsen-
tativcs. Rev DR.. w A. Milhun, al the
opening OF a recent session of that body,
prayed earnestly concerning drunkenness
as follows:
30 God! answer, we besccch Thee, the
Supplications Of millions OF hearts ascend
ing 10 Thee for the speedy close Of that
greatest evil Of modern society-dnnkcn-
ness. Linked with almost every vice and
crime in a loathsomc compact with gam
ng-houseS and brothels, it burdens the
criminal dockets of courts of Justice, throngs
the poor-houseS. mad-houses, iailS and glib
bets, drives men 10 despair through the
snake-wreathed portals ofdelirium tremens
unbars the poSterns of life, tia; they may
sink into the cowardly grave Of suicide.
Beginning most often in am alluring taste
in the jocund bond of good fellowship, it
becomes All appetite and mastor-passion,
which destroys the body. darlens the i'll
telcct blinds the moral sense. deadeEs the
soul, drives God out Of mems spirit. and
paralyzing the will, binds men and women
hand and foot and casts them inta he'll,
leaving an entail of despair and wrctched-
ness to their children.
The prayer is said to have called forth
applause from some total abstainu4 mem
beers Of congress and expressions of dis
pleasure from some who are not total alb
staucrs.
"Ah" at last the anti-prohihiionist says
you are a fanatic. My only reply tothat

This forward movement of the Republi-

the Republican party in New Jersey to the

The Republican party missed It's golden
opportunity by not passing the Local OPP
ton bill last winter Yet We cannot hold
the party responsible as such, for ii was
not a party issue And that's what's the
matter The party organs claim that the
party is tic best friend Of temperance, yet
as such it has never yet taken up the ques-
ton in any shape but has 'monkeyed
with it according to the eXigencics of

off some independent movement which ap-
peared to be getting too formidable. The

WHY senator Does Not DRINK

United States Senator Spooner is a tee
totalcr. and has never had much to say
either one way or the other about temper
ancc, but il is Il fact that he never touched
drop of liquor Of any kind. Whenever
he is questioned about it and about The
general subject OF intempcrance he replies
indiilercntly; II have three hoys that I
love. They have never smelled liquor in
my breath, and they never shall. That's
the only temperance argument that he has
ever made. GaLoeston NerS.
