good that it may be safe to follow us.
| Mr.. Amos Smith followed In few re-
marks upon the same subject. regretting
that SO many temperance men set an ex-

meetings. Their influence for good might
be SO much greater did they act wisely in
this ono respect.
The N. 7. World in speaking OF the
Prohibition victory Ia Rhode Island says:
Possibly 1t is one of those instances of
haste to BIO repented of at leisure, es-
pecially when the effect of Prohibition is
seen In the coming Newport season."
Strange isn't itg The season at fa-
nous watering place to be influenced by
whisky. Much more strange when we
are expected to believe what the World
teaches that "Prohibition doesn't pro-
hibit, you know"
We doubt IL there is another city or
town In New Jersey that can, on the
average, exhibit SO many men staggering
drunk, by day as well as by night as our
own city of Lambertville.
We'll take what we need seems to be
q popular cry just now with those who
oppose the Prohibition movement, which
is sweeping SO grandly across the land.
We are not like the man who on reading
their motto, as above, suggested right
away "a BATH, We believe 1t good
motto, and recommend 1t to all. For If
you stop with what you need you will be
full fledged teetotaler SO far as intoxi-
eating beverages are concerned. All
scientific medical men agree that alcohol
as a beverage Is in no case q necessity.
Strong drink is not only the DEVILS way
into q man, but mans way to the DEVIL -
DR.. adam Clark.
In the performance of our duty, we
have been deeply impressed with the fact
| that four-iifths IL not nine tenths, of the
six thousand paupers and criminals which
| fill our public institutions are In their
| present sad and deplorable condition
through the influence of intoxicating H.
| quors. IL we look beyond these institu-
tions to determine the cost of the liquor
traffic to this city; If We estimate the in-
crease OF the police force necessary to
meet its requirements, the degradation
emanating from the Infamous pest-houses
| whsoB ~ 6.ass..,---, $40 sose.-~-al ..,,.t :.
Fosters the wealth which IL suuanders
and destroys, the poverty and disgrace
which IL entails, the burdens and expenses
which 1t lays upon our courts of Justice !:
and IL we add to these the perpetual sun
| port OF so large number of paupers and
criminals-the loss we suffer is incalcula-
ble.- Grand Jury of Philadelphia.
Ignorance and drunkenness are the real
causes of nearly all the misery in the
world. The last Is immeasurnbly worse
than all others combined; for such is the
benumbing, stultifying, and Grazing eff.
feet OF inebriating drinks, that they
change man of reason and feeling into u
brutalized monster IPm. j. Mullen, Pr.
son agent, Philadelphia, 1870.
HuNTINGDoN's NEAR APPROACH TO rho
HIBiTioN. JUDGE FuRsT's WORK.
Huntingdon, Apra 20 [SpecialI The
cutting down of hotel licenses in this city
to two in number Is already showing that
the decrease has the effect of producing
less drunkenness. The structures enjoin.
cd upon the hotel keepers by Judge
Fnrst In closing their bars ut III O'Clock
ut night. in obliging them to remove all
screens from the doors and windows and
keeping their bars out of the cellars have
had sanitary effect. II u man enters a
Darroom he must stop la at the front
door, ana IL no goes TO tho counter to |
take drink he has 10 do it as publicly as |
IL no were buying pound of sugar ut a
grocery store
This makes drinking unpopular, aud |
many OF those people who were in the |
habit OF sneaking into the side doors and
taking their refreshments In back room
have quit drinking in the hotels alto
gether. Heretofore tho landlords filed |
bottles, and In that way minors aud men
of known Incorporate habits could get
all the whisky they wanted, but II is i'm.
possible now 10 get bottle filed ut the
two licensed hotels. Under the rulings
OF Judge Furst and his exact limitations
of the whisky traffic. Huntingdon county
Is as near prohibition as il is possible to
get under license laws.
What docs drink cost ia human misery
Can count the leaves of the forest, or
the sands upon the shore And the sounds
OF this misery are like the signing Of the
leaves OF illimiiable forests, and the plash-
ing on tho shores Of unfathomable seas
II costs us millions OF money,
my, lads Of criminals. thousands of pau.
peTs, thousands Of ruined women, hun
dreds Of thousands of men and women
goaded by misery into suicide or madness,
with every blossom In what might have
been the garland of their lives bliehted
as by Fury's breath. y Shall it
be nothing TO you that the blood of your
brothers and sisters in this great family
Of God is being daily poured upon the ai-
tars Of this dead.ier Moioch Of u Tophet
more awful than that of Hinnom's Vale
while 10 disowning that you are your
brothers keeper, You become his Cain p
Canon Fardr.
The crank in late number Of the Voice
has been told that Prohibition doesn't
prohibit, and be believes It. lie believes
also that an axe doesn't chop. no matter
how sharp Il is, But no has a sneaking
idea that strong man can mako tho axe
chop, aud Prohibition party can make
Prohibition prohibit. You must excuse
him; he Is only crank. !
