Strong Temperance Pleas.

The terrible effects of whisky were
Illustrated in most fearful manner at
the Armory police court, Chicago.
First lettering, chattering, helpless
young man named w. T. Farnley was
led into the dock between two muscu-
lar officers, who were compelled to
hold him lest he fall to the floor. His
eyes glared and roved about over the
many faces in the courtroom, and he
seemed fearful lest they would do him
harm. When spoken to by the justice
he started suddenly, and throwing his
hand to his head tore out fistful Of
hair. Before he could repeat the per-
Torrance he was caught and securely
held. Between his mutterings of ''Sol-
diers, death, Beecher," etc, it was
learned that his relatives live in Buff
falo, N. Y, and that he had been drink
ing for a considerable period. He
was sent to the Washingtonian
Home. His case was so very
bad that it is not thought that
he will recover. The second case
was that Of mother and son, both found
uClpiCSSly uEtllk on InlFCJ-G'llTu anu
Halsted streets. Mrs. Mary Carney,
the mother, is a white-haired. feeble
old woman, and her son John, who
ought to be a sturdy young fellow, is
watery-eyed, hopeless drunkard, thirty
years of age. Their home is on Lib
erty street. A fine of ten dollars each
was ordered. The third case was that
of brother against brother, John Perry
claiming that Michael had not drawn
a sober breath for weeks, and was a
constant source of annoyance to the
neighborhood on Deering street.
Michael was afterward taken charge of
by his brother-in-law, who claims that
Michael's relatives are trying to de-
fraud him out of certain property, and
that the fear that they will succeed
leads him to drink. The fourth case
was that of wife against husband, Mrs
Lavery stating that her protector and
alleged supporter had pawned his
boys watch and articles of furniture,
and had not given her cent for
weeks. The accused man tearfully ac-
knowledged the truth of his wife's as
sertions, and went to the Bridewell on
twenty-five dollar fine. Chicago

Ruin of Chicago Homes.

The tribute paid to King Alcohol in
this country by his willing subjects
amounts to the awful total of nine
hundred millions of dollars a year, of
which sum his adherents in Chicago
contribute fully fifteen millions. No
true friend of the poor man can reflect
upon this tax. with all it implies of
consequential damages, without seeing
in it the supreme enemy, the king of
kings, the robber of robbers. Take
Chicago, which is no worse than other
cities In proportion to its population.
This city has about $500 saloons. 1t
is a low estimate to say that they take
in on an average $l2 a day. This
makes, in round numbers, $4,000 go
ing over the whisky and beer counters
of this city every twenty-four hours, or
S14, 600, 900 during the year. This
does not include the liquor sold in the
hundreds of drug stores or carried
home by the bottle or basket from the
wholesale places, aggregating one or
two millions more. Of this sum not
less than ten millions comes out of the
wage-workers. And the indirect cost
of liquor is about equal to the direct.
The loss of time in drinking and getting
sober would figure up an immense
sum. Then to it must be added the
loss of situation or work, the expense
of vice and crime due to intoxication.
and all that class of losses. If the 75,-
000 wage-workers of Chicago would
save the money, or even half of it,
thus worse than thrown away, they
would soon all have homes of their
own; all their wives and children
would have plenty to eat good clothes
for rags, and comfort for squalor. The
money spent in Chicago for liquor by
the wage-workers would buy more
than three thousand cottages every
year, and only the sick or lazy would
want for any comfort. Chicago Irib-

A Cheering Pledge.

Two of the strongest indications of
the growth of Temperance sentiment
have been made manifest during the
recent assembly of the Knights of Labor
at Richmond. The first was when
Grand Master Powderly charged the
delegates that they should abstain from
making themselves ridiculous or con-
temptible in the eyes of the world by
the simple act of abstaiiling from visit
ing saloons. The second was when the
whole body of knights demanded a
pledge of constant sobriety from its
newly-elected officers. Philanthropists
and reformers can take fresh courage
from these cheering manifestations

PFSULTS OF REFDRM"

For nearly two years Democrats have been
turning Republicans out of Office on various
false pretences. or on charges OF offensive rar-
tisanship, and putting in men ShO were almost
all esnecially offensive partisans, and many OF
whom were jai-birds or notoriousy corrupt
narsons The true reason and the only reason
for these changes was that they were expected
To strengthen and entrench the party in power.
The old fashioned notion that political workers
in official positions can shape and sway public
opinion is al the bottom of these changes the
result is a test of the correctness of that opinion.
1t was noticed long ago that the power ot
patronage was used more sweepngly for partl-
san ends in Virginia and Indiana than in any
other Stitas fho late Vice. President Hen
dricks and Senator Voorhees, iwere in accord
abOnt that one thing in lnliana, and the anxiety
of Democrats to break down Mahcne led to the
exnuIsion of almost all Republicans from Office
in virginia before the Reform Administration
was six months old. VII ginia and Indiana are
the two States in which the Democratic party
has sustained the most hunilating defeat.
Bnth give larger majorities for Republican can
didates than were given two years ago foi
President Cleveland. Virginia, Southern
S ate. elects a majority of Republican Congress
men. Indiana elects q Republican State ticket
bv a larger majority than it gave to Cleveland,
and majority of Republican Corgressmen. So
far as the returns 60 a complete poliica revo-
lution has been made in these States again st he

most vigorous use of patronage. ln Ohio,
Wisconsin and Michigan. especial efforts were
made 70 debauch public opinion and to over

ace. and these have resulted In greatly ln-
creased Republican majorities. In Connecticut,
cspecial efforts to retain the advantage which
the Democrats had in 1884 have resulted IN
transferring great many votes to tie kepubh-
can side, though the Democrats gain one Con-
gresham. In New-York and New-Jersey,
similar efforts to strengthen the Democratic
party by the use of patronage have resulted IN
!, heavy los. in Congressman, though the Third
marty votes leave the Republicans still in a
minority.
These results exactly accord with Republican
predictions. President Cley yeland was warned
that the removai of many thousand Republicans
from Office would only set free to work against
his marty an army of effective men. tie was
warned that an attempt to divide the spOlls
among hungry Democrats would only divide his
parrv. set factions against each other, cripple
the active men selected for Office, and anger or
disgust the active men not selected. All these
things the President himself eaw at first, ana
he promi-ed to be a genuine Civil Service Re-
former. But he has ot the fidelity of char acter
to wthstand his party and has made his
promises and professions ridiculous by a

BULGARIA AND THE CZAR.

English opinion is not divided respecting Bull
earia. and is faithfully represented by Lord Id
de,eigh at the Foreign Office. That opinion
briefly expressed is that the liberties OF the
Bulgarians are their own political property,
and are not to be handed over In whole or in
part to Russia. Theoretically, they have the
exclusive right to choose and elect their sover-
eion and to conduct their own Government.
By the Treaty Of Berlin the consent of the
Powers was made tho final condition of the
succession of Prince, but the Deputies nomi-
mated and elected him. Practically. however,
Prince Alexander owed his nomination to the
Russian Foreign Ofice, which vouched Tor him
as suitable candidate to the throne. de vas
then elected and his title was confirmed by the
Powers. If the same privilege OF nomination
be accorded to Russia in the present crisis. Bull
earian liberties will be sacrificed only In the
sense in which they were sacrificed at the pre-
vious election. Russia as the liberator or tne
Principaity from Turkish tyranny Will DC
allowed to name Prince Alexanders successor.
We say this on the assumption, which the
latest dispatches favor. that Prince Wal demar
will not accept che Bulgarian crown.
II Is not improb able that both the Bulgarian
Daoptes and the Powers would agree to accept
a Russian nomination under the restrictions
imposed by tho Treaty of Berlin, IL TINS conces-
sion would satisfy the Cars ambition or
vanity. The Deputies would willingly elect
Nicholas of Montenegro, or any German prince
or duke vored by Russia. II In that way they
could avert the present crisis and preserve
their Constitutional system. The German and
Austri N courts, and England rs we'll, would
c,nsider this concession a cheap expedient for
maint .ininx European peace and dispellins the
chances Of war. But there ems little likeli-
hood OF the Cars acceptance of these terms.
There has been Russian candidate on the
throne before He was unable to resist the
popular will, which is markedly hostile to
foreign Intervention in domestic affairs. A
second Russian candidate, acting within Con-
stitutional lines, might prove as powerless an
instru nent of tho Russian Foreign ONCE.
The Russian Government, even II 1t has no
thou ghts of war, knows that 1t is quite prudent
TO conduct O campaign of open menace and
diplomatic aggression. Hostilities can be
