Senator Bate of Tennessee has, says
the Atlanta Constitution, popularity,
in that he invariably appears with a
cigar in his mouth, but no one has yet
seen him smoking. While he used to
be an inveterate smoker, for the last
twenty years he has never lighted a
cigar. Conversing with some Of his
friends he told them the story. In a
battle during the war Senator Bate and
his brother, Colonel Bate, were together.
They were in conversation, when the
Senator drew from his pocket a cigar,
and struck match with which to light
it. As he did SO a cannon ball tore
Lis brothers head completely from his
body. The cigar was not lighted, and
to this day he has never lit one, and
probably never will.

A FUNNY PAPER.

At Boise City, Idaho, there is issued
an insignificant thumb paper called the
Statesman. It's name is appropriate in
the same way that the name of little
town in New York is appropriate. The
town is called Maple Grove, and there
isn't the sign Of q maple within miles
of il. The Statesman takes up the mat
ter of the Idaho House expellipg The
HERALD reporter from the chamber,
and in its stupid, maudlin way, ap-
plauds the idiotic action of the asses who
voted for the resolution. We expected it
would do this, and disappointment
would have been deep indeed had tn
paper for one issus shown either intel
ligence or honesty. But what we de-
sire particularly to call attention to is
a solid chunk of Statesman wisdom. It
is this sage remark, taken from the
article referred 10, and which should go
laundering down the ages" for the
guidance of journalists in all time. 1t
is this: at is hardly becoming in any
public journal making pretences to de-
cency to attack any body of men by
the wholesale and denounce them as
ignoramuses or criminals" Hereafter
when a public journal wants to be
seemiy and becoming. it will please not
attack body OF men by wholesale, but
Will proceed to lay them out by retail.
Nor viii it by wholesale dsnounce a
body OF men as ignoramuses or Grim
lnals' the assumption being that that
business is also to be performed by re-
taii. It's funny paper, that Idaho
MisnOmer, and it is great genius who
edits it.

CHRISTMAS.
''Veritas' Tribute to the Great
Anniversary.

Deep down in the human soul may
be found yearnings for a better and
happier day than has yet dawned upon
mortal man. The mind flies hither and
thiUher to catch the sound Of Joy and
mirth throughout Christian lands, and
at this particular season, hope en-
ehrined, in ten Thousand tines ten
thousand hearts, is looking toward the
Christmas morn for a realization of lows
that will be made holy by q return OF
the natal day of the Son of God. 1t is
not too much to say that our gre atest
wish is that the genial influence of the
great event would coatinus ever and be
better cultivated in order to aid in the
control of human affairs. Christianity
offers double reward for virtue and a
love for God and man. 1t offers peace
on earth, and an assurance OF higher
and better life under the direct guild
ance of the Divine Being.
There is q remarkable vitality he
longing to Christianity chat serves 10
quic4en into active force the love of
each succeeding generation of men. 1t
matters not how rudely it is treated, or
into what hands it may fall, or to what
use it may be put by adVenturers and
spectators in the souls OF men; it rises
again and again and scars above the
sordid acts CT men, and shines brighter
by reason Of pass ng through the furnace
OF religious division, bigotry and the
fanaticism of men. The return of
Christmas revives many reflections. the
most prominent of which is the immor-
tslity of the soul. When Christianity
was introduced into the world it was
attended with joy and the song of
praise by a host Of might ones, who
understood its intrinsic value and
eternal duration, whilst the voice
Of Jehovah attested its divinity;
the foundation was laid by The
mighty God whose creative power
was the best evidence that God was
made manifest in the flesh. At our
distance from the birth of Christ, we
are apt to form ideas that are not COM
mensurate with the work of redemp-
ton, so we wander on in comparative
ignorance and a sad neglect of those
noble qualities that would serve to
make Us men.
Let the song OF praise be heard on
earth on the return Of the Christmas
morn! Let the vaulted heavens echo
and r -9cho MessIah's praise and the
song of glad tidlngs Of great Joy 10 all
nations. Let tina living and the dead
join in the song Of redeeming love made
manifest in the birth of Christ.

laws have been III operation for from
one to five years. Wherever they have
been tried they have produced many
beneficial results. They have in all
cases largely reduced the number of
saloons, and especially those of the
lower and vile der, where most of the
crimes are committed. In some of the
States high license laws reduced the
number of saloons about one half. In
some of the cities and States the reduc :
ton has been much larger. The reduc-
ton of the number of saloons has been
followed, in almost all cases, by cor
responding reduction in the amount Of
crime committed in the community.
This is verified by reference to the re-
cords of the courts. jails and prisons,
which in all cases show large falling off

THE ALEXANDRIA (Ya.) Gazette: "a
the caucus of the Democratic membert
of the United States House of Repre-
sentatives last night, it was determined
to exclude Utah from the list of Terri
tories that may be admitted as States
into the Union; and this, too, though
o. all the Territories, Utah is probably
the only one that would be Demo-
cratic Stste. The reason for the exclu
sion of Utah is that few of the people
of that Territory follow the example of

is to be hoped that the Demo cratic
minority in the next, may be wiser
than the Democratic majority in the

HIGH LICENS z.

1t remarkable fact, and almost
unaccountable, that as rule the tenn
peranoe people are as pronounced IN
their opposition to high license as they
are to low license or no license. We
have heard good and earnest men and
women wcrli g in thetemperance cause,
denounce high license laws IS more
wicked and injurious to society than the
low license acts. They say that the
state has no right to sell the privilege
of making drunkards, and that the
more money is taken for the
privilege, the deeper is the sin OF
the state. This line of reasoning
would indicate that with these good
people the suppression of the liquor
traffic is of less importance than the
manner in which it shall be suppressed.
II has been demonstrated wherever
tried that hi h license places the liquor
brsiness under better control than any
other system has done; it makes the
soloon more respectable, and keeps out

TEE IMMIGRATION LAWS.

A telegram two or thrse days ago
said the Congressional committee in
vestigating the question of pauper i'm
migration will recommend certain
amendments to the immigration laws,
among others the following: That the
work of inspection be taken out OF the
hands of the States AID put under
Federal control; that foreigners be ex-
amined on the other side before they
board ships, either by our consuls or
inspectors appointed for the purpose;
that steamship companies be furnished
banks on which shall be printed GER
tain questions which the appli-
cunts for passage be compelled to
answsr. These blanks will be ex-
amined on this side before land
ing, and if it is found that perjury
has been committed, the person to be
prosecuted. If the steamship compan-
les do not comply with these conditions
and prohibited immigrants are found on
their vessels. they will be compelled to
take them back free of charge. Having
shut out absolutely the least offensive
and least troublesome of the undesirable
foreigners, namely, the Chinese, it
would seem to be time that start was
made towards excluding the really bad
and dangerous classes. And We ought
not to be mealy-mouthed about it. Sen
tiloent and politics have both interfered
to prevent the revision of our immigra-
ton and naturalization laws. The SEN
timent of the early days, which declared
this the land of welcume to the poor and
oppressed of all nations has restrained
Americans, while the paupers and the
viciously disposed have been pouring
in upon Us by the thousands,
until America has become the
dumping ground for the scum
of all nations, as we'll as the home
of the oppressed and worthy. Politics
has also stayed the hands and hushed
the voices of our statesmen, who have

The plan proposed by the committee
seems fairly good one. If a man can
not establish to the satisfaction of the
American representative that he is
good citizen, and able to provide for
himself in his own country, he should |
not be permitted to come here. If
steamships shall be held responsible
for the character OF the people they |
bring over they will be careful to
fetch only such as may be safely |

done little if anything to prevent the
coming of the Objectionable classes. A
rGgue's money was as good to them as
an honest mans, and they could trans
port pauper as readily as they could
g man OF means.
1t is TO be hoped that the laws and
the rules will be changed and amended
before the danger to American society
and American institutions becomes
more threatening.

The history of Salt Lake City's efforts
to control the liquor business furnishes
the most convincing argument possible
in favor of high license. All plans
have had their day in this city. There
has been so-called prohibition, which
came near to bankrupting the city,
without suppressing drunkenness. At
times the liquor business was virtually
without restrictions so far as the
municipality was concerned. any body
who could borrow glasses and buy rum
on credit having the privilege of run
ning" saloon. We have had high
.icsnse, and this has reduced the num-
Der of saloons, materially increased the
city revenue, and enabled the authori-
ties to hold better control over the busi-
ness than ever before.

County Commissioners. From March IL,
1875. until March IL, 1888, IS thirteen years
AT the Republican ordinance rates aforesaid.
each said saloon, but for the Democratic act
of 1873 aforesaid, would have paid $500 each
year. Six saloons would consequently have
paid each year the sum of So 600, and this in
thirteen years makes $50. 600. But under the
law as the Democrats made it we get from each
said saloon the sum of 500 per year.
This makes 5000 each year, and in thirteen
years the amount is So, 800, and $50, 600 less
ST, 800 leaves $31.2 200. This sum is the net
gain to the saloonists of Greencastle, and the
net loss to the taxpayers of the city by this
Democratic legislation. Bear in mind the
amount raised in the city by taxation of the
property of the citizens did not diminish in
these years, and it can be found from authen-
tic sources. that drink did not become cheaper.
Hence the conclusion is inevitable that
Democratic whisky policy took from he tax
payers of the city of Greencastle in thirteen
years $3l, 200. which ought TO have tgen paid
by the saloonists of the city. and left in the
pockets of the same saloonists $31. 200 which
the saloonists should have paid into the city
treasury!
The pointof general interest in the state
ment is that the present law, passed in 1875,
took away from incorporated cities and towns
the right to levy a saloon tax of more than
800 year, while for twenty years prior to
that time they might levy tax of $500
year. The city of Greencastle did levy that
tax. Perhaps other cities did also. To all
such the difference between $500 year and
800 year represents the money loss inflicted
on them by the law of 1875. This is Demo
cratic law, and it is only one illustration of
how the liquor evil has been protected and
fostered, and the people wronged, by Demo
cratic legislation.
