In New York there are indications,
if not of speedy coming of the millen-
ium, certainly of an advance toward
a better condition of public morals. 1t
has come to pass there that liquor can
not be sold under license for exhibit
tons and concerts; and that such exhi-
billions or concerts can not be given
under liquor license. This disagree
able complication recently forced an
indefinite postponement of long-ad-
vertised prize-fght between Sullivan
and Mitchell. The idea of theatrical
license at $500, with no liquor sold on
the ground, gave the enterprise
fainting fit.-Interior.

The Women and Children.

1t is the women and children who
suffer the evils of whisky-drinking; not
the topper who spends his money for
drink, and thinks he gets compensa-
ton in feeling good and becoming un-
conscious or extra ugly. The women
and children have rights as well as the
topper, yet the advocates of saloons
overlook the fact. Only the drinker
has rights; but there is COM
ing time when the women
and children will be respected.
The Chicago Tribune, a paper which
advocates license, puts in the follow
ing plea for women and children:
:" One of the mayors daily duties is to
hear about forty individual petitions
from the wives and dependent rela-
tons of men who are confined in the
bridewell. The cases presented for
official clemency are almost uniform
in their nature. A Woodworking man
with large family of children, and
receiving barely wages enough to sus-
tain them, gets drunk. He abuses his
wife and children, and for protection
the wife appeals to the police. The
next morning the wife is compelled to
appear before justice; she is forced
to tell her story TO the justice, and be-
fore she has finished the recital of her
sufferings the court interferes with
one hundred dollars and costs Then
the husband is hustled off 10 the bride
well to serve six-months' imprison-
ment, and the weeping and penniless
woman returns to her children, who
are crying with hunger The husband
is not suffering; he gets his food, a
place to sleep, and nothing to do, while
the woman is obliged to labor for the
bread her children must have or starve.
The punishment falls alone upon the
woman, while the man is the real of
fender. IN W Christian AdUOcate.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. "A piece of rascal
ity has just been brought to light in the reg
lister Of the treasury's Office Fourteen Of
tine original 7-S0 bonds Of $50 each came in
from the sub-treasury at New York, where
they were redeemed The coupons had all
been detached and paid. 1t was found upon
examining the number OF one of the bonds
that that particular number had already
bien redeemed and 50 recorded Search was
then made for the redeemed coupons, when
it was discovered that the number had been
altered very neatly with pen. The bonds
were genuine and should have been paid to
some one. The object in changing the num-
Der was to avoid detection, as the thieves
rightly imagined that the government would
be notified of the theft. The question now
is whether there is any redress for those
who lost the bonds and whether the thieves
can be tracked and captured.

the existing local bodies to terrorize non

three minutes. He said they were to listen
and not to expound the policy the govern
