Look at These Figures.

The retail liquor sale in this cOun-
try is over 500, 600, and accord
ing to the best authority it burdens
the republic with 100000 paupers, at
an annual cost of $100,00OO00 The
loss of productive industry to the
country by drunkards and tipplers IS
1925, 100000 The cost of crime is
$50,000;000 The support Of insane
and disabled is $1O0,O00,O00, wasting
our country's resources over $780,
100000 yearly, and adding to the
government revenue only $50, 100000
Il Exchange.
After reading those figures and
bordering on the awful, disastrous
effects of the use of Intoxicating
drinks, can any intelligent, sane man
who loves his country and who de
sires the well being Of his fellOw-men,
for moment hesitate to give his
voice and his vote in favor of all
proper measures, legal or otherwise,
looking to the suppression of intern
perance?

rhe-Rond Purchases.

The first call of the secretary. Of
the treasury for proposals for the
sale of bonds has disclosed the fact
that there are comparatively few Of /
the securities of the United States in
the hands of persons who desire to
dispose Of them at the price which he |
has offered. Last year when he |
made proposals equally as advan-
tageous to the holder, bonds were
offered largely in excess Of the /
amount which he desired to purchase. /
This was due largely to the fact that
last season when the bids were made |
by the secretary, parties who were in /
volved in several gigantic specula-
lions were the holders of government
bonds which they were compelled to
dispose of. furthermore last August
there was an extensive demand for
money for investment in real estate,
city improvements, factory and rail
road building which lead the holders
of bonds to sell them to obtain ready
money to obtain larger gains in these
enterprises. At the present time
there appears to be a lull in such ex-
tensive operations, and again govern
ment bonds are in greater favor with
investors. Consequently there are
very few holders of bonds so DESTROYS
of parting with them as was the case
in July and August, 1887
1t is probable, also, that the policy
which the secretary of treasury has
pursued, of depositing money in ma
tional banks with such bonds for Sc
curity which their managers have
bought in open market from the PEG
pie, has interfered with the purchase
policy. Thus far the secretary has
let the banks have $50, OOO, 900 Of funds
for which they pay no interest. Such
being the case the banks can well
afford to go into the market and pay
no higher price than the government
offers or private parties can afford to
pay, since the secretary of the trea-
sury furnishes the money with which
they purchase without interest.
This being the case, it is very probable
that Secretary Fairchild has defeated
the purchase of bonds by the govern
ment by letting the banks have money
either to buy the bonds for them
selves or to loan to those who would
sell bonds if they could borrow money
The fact to which we would call at
tention is that the favorable policy OF
the secretary of the treasury toward
the banks has defeated the scheme Of
extensive purchase of bonds at theil
real value LeuUenlrOrtb Times.

The Helpless young Woman


From the Elmira Advertiser.
The Judge has a picture showing
the perils of the unprotected young
woman in this instance standing be-
tween two ways-the one that of star
walton, by making shirts at six cents
apiece, and the other that of a sinful
career as a seller which inevitably
ends in prison, debauchery, and
death. There is that in this picture
which humanitarians might better
think of than of almost anything else.
The most that the unprotected and
unskiIled young woman of New York
can earn in an honest way is scarcely
enough to keep body and soul to-
gether. There is inviting to a career
of looseness; but'4t at least prevents
starvation, and lengthens out the life
that would else be prematurely short
ened. There are a good many char
liable societies in New York, but we
do not recall one that proposes in any
way to take this unprotected young
woman In her hour of peril and lift
her out of temptation; and should
she make mistake there is not a
charitable institution that would not
shut its door against her, though she
died in the streets in consequence.

The Atchison Champion gives ex-
preston to the following well con
sidered advice to the people of Kan
sas towns: "A Kansas town should,
above everything else, be united in
sentiment and enthusiastic in sup
porting everything that promises to
be a public advantage. Every citizen
rich or poor, prominent or humble,
can do something to help along the
town in which he lives. He can plan
for it, work for it, or talk for it. He
can write a letter to his acqu.intances
or friends, telling its advantages, or
he can mail newspaper in which
these things are told. He can en-
courage those who wish to make i'm
provements. He can beautify and
adorn the home he owns. If he has
capital, he can promote his own and
the community's interests by invest
ing it in some industry. If he has no
capital, he can at least speak well of
those who are endeavOring to build
up successful industrial and CONNER
cial establishments IL the place where
he lives"
