Let Facts Talk.

Nr. Editor-ThankIng you for your
neutrality, which enables both parties
of this so-called local option question to
defend their different principles and
opinions I beg you to insert the follow
ing lines in the REGISTER.
When we had the pleasure to hear
Mrs. Burr. and lately Prof Fox, talk
on the profits derived from local option
we found it evident that one. as well
as the other, tried to deceive the audi
ence by statements which were not
true and by figures entirely contrary to
the United States census OF 1870.
So, for instance, Mrs. Burr claimed
nine-tenths of the insane, of the erim-
inals, of cases of prostitution to be the
result of Intoxicating drinks, and even
our Congress was not saved from her
slander.
AS for cases of insanity, it is estimat-
ed that the number of insane persons
in tie United States is 16s, 600; in Ger
many, 10s,O)0; in France. 800; in
England 81 .e00;.iu Russia. so, 900; Italy,
IA, 100; Austria, $4,000; Ireland, 19 500,
etc. Causes of insanity: Hereditory,
"a per cent, drink, Ii per cent; bust.

ness, - per cent; loss of friends, / | pei
cent; sickness. 10 per cent; various
90 per cent. This result is the medium
average arrived at on comparing the
returns for the United States, England,
France and Denmark.
a nd now I ask Mrs. Burr, Prof. Fox
or any champion of the local option
cause IN the face of these figures, taken
to renew their statement that nine
tenths of the cases of insanity are caus-
Ell by drunkenness. Fourteen per cent
is only one-seUenM of those cases caus-
ed by drink.
Further, as to criminal cases we are
sure that there is no person silly
enough to believe that nine-tenths OF
criminal cases are caused by drink. AS
this is reproved already by other par
ties, L only recall to our voters the
criminal cost to dramshop licenses late
" published. Post mortem examina-
tions in France give an average of 55
to go ounces of the brain of the worst
class of criminals, when the average
French brain is only 47.9. Is this the
cause of drink? Coming to the causes
of prostitution, of which, according to
Mrs. Burr, nine-tenths are intoxicat-
ing drinks, we venture to say that as
alcohol was invented about $50 years
ago (by Hagor. in Arabia; first used by
women to paint their facrs) and beer,
an invention of our old German ances-
tOrs-both were unknown to those an
cient monarchies and repnblics as the
Babylonian, Persian, Greece, Roman
and mainly the Hebrew nation. And
now is there any man or woms n to
deny that the prostitution of ancient
times was not far greater than it is to-
day? Read the accounts given in our
holy bible on this score. How many
thousand females, devoted to lewdness
were, according to history, in ancient
Rome? We feel not inclined to define
the causes of prostitution, but only
remind our readers to the fact that it
is an unmistakable lie, which Mrs.
Burr and her champions use 10 deceive
our voters.
And now we ask any true American
whether we must admit that our Con-
gress is corrupted by intoxicating
drinks? We do admit that among our
Congressman arc non-drinkers, moder-
ate drinkers and excessive drinkers,
but we can never admit that the cor
ruption is caused by drink. The desire
to make money, to get rich, party
hatred, ETC., are the causes of corrup-
tion, rot only in Congress, but society
at large.
Rejecting on the local option law by
taking different views, we will first
show by figures taken from the census
of various countries that from an hy-
CHEMICAL point of view the introduction
of local option. prohibition or submits
sion is entirely unreasonable.

Tin Wedding.

1t slipped out yesterday that the
day was the tin wedding anniversary
of Mr.. and Mrs. H. Nicholson, so a
number of their friends gathered to-
gether last evening, and loaded with
numerous tin presents and band of
music called at their residence and
gave them a surprise. The evening
was pleasantly passed in dancing and
other sociable amusements and the
guests were so well pleased that they
nearly all promised to be on hand at
the next anniversary.

instruction With a Strap.

The little church at the corner of
San Saba and Matamoras streets, in
the Second ward, has been used lately
by colored professor" as a school
house. Not satisfied with yelling and
bowling and making night hideous,
they even stir up the devil in the day
time. The professor" has about a
dozen scholars, one of them big girl
about Is years of age, he is trying to
learn how to "spel and read" The
professor" gave out a word to spell.
The girl said she "didn't have to
spell,n and called the professor" a
ID phool," when the aforesaid
professor" attempted to persuade her
by the use of good large strap. The
"galn resented, and then a pitched
battle ensued for about half an hour
until the professor" was nearly bald
headed and the female had all the
clothes torn off except small piece of
garment about the size of pillow
slip, when some of the other cOlored
folks interfered and stopped the fight.
No arrests made, and the regular
shouting exercises were continued at
night as usual.

That Everlasting Chinaman.

There he sat dancing up and down
on the waves, / saw him quite plainly
through the captains glass. A China
man sitting on tea box in mid-Ocean
with his que dragging behind him in
the salt water, was indeed a novel
sight. He showed signs of extreme
exhaustion. The captain ordered the
boat lowered from the davits, and in
a few moments the unfortunate cast
away was lying on his back in one of
our pleasant rooms. An anxious
crowd gathered around with thOus-
and questions which the poor fellow
could not answer. At last one of the
sailors commenced to look through the
Chinaman's pocket and brought out a
fine gold Elgin watch in which his
name was neatly engraved as follows:
Wau Lee, San Antonio, Texas. The
poor fellow thinking they thought
him dishonest, touched his right
pocket and paper was produced
which was bill ofsale and receipted,
showing that Wau Lee, on July 3rd

A Rotten Game.

The base ball game yesterday was
awful. 1t could hardly be called a
ball game. Houston won by score
of 10 to 6. Umpire Hanlon was sick
and anybody who wanted to acted as
umpire. The decisions of all of them
were so manifestly at variance with
the rules that cries of traits !" from
the audience were freely INDUCED in
throughout the game. Ukotter hurt
his arm at the beginning of the game,
and a man who knew very little about
pitching was put in for the home team.
The game throughout was distin-
guished by utter lack of discipline OF
players, who disregarded the rulings
of the umpires and INDUCED in count
less disputes and quarrels. The
whole business looks like sell-out to
Houston to keep her hackers from de-
handing their withdrawal from the
league.

cool off and repent when he came to
his sober senses. He is a child of
