And yet it does not appear that the

One hundred and sixty two thousand
three hundred and fourteen barrels Of
beer in Colorado and Wyoming-more
than 5,OO0,0 900 OF gallons. This amount
would afford a large bottle every day in
the year to every man, woman and
child in this telritory-a G..ass of beer
every day in the year for a quarter OF a
million OF people. 1t would be a quantity
sufficient to fill the mains of our entire
city water system during a larger part of
a month, enabling the entire city not to
battle in wine, perhaps, but to find a sub
stitute in beer, enable its locomotives,
like some of its men, to steam up on
beer; to nurture Its lawns and gardens on
beer; to sprinkle its streets with beer, to
extinguish its incendiary fires with beer,
and to run an unlimited amount of the
stuff out of the city sewer into Crow creek
for the irrigation of the lands below ps.

Temperance or total abstinence are
questions, the solution OF which depend
very much upon the makeup of the indi-
vidual called upon 10 solve them. The
man who is burned, curses the fire, while
the shiycring mortal whose comfort is re-
stored by its glowing warmth calls it
blessed. Anathemas heaped upon a thing
cannot excuse the carelessness of the in
iured or controvert the benefit to the ben
Gifted. The fact remains that the one has
been injured and the other has been bene-
fitted and the relative benefit or injury re-
mains a well defined question to be hon
estly and candidly discussed. Can the
man be educated to its proper use? Shall
it be relocated OF shall he be educated?
L notice that a reporter for one of the
Denver dailies has been informing him
self about the use of absinthe among the
drinkers of that city, through the grace
of n of the ~cumpouDders of seductive
potlons, caught in a laxative mood, and
the use of the drug is discovered to be
much on the increase there. This in

The barkeeper interviewed deprecated
the increasing use of the stuff, and well
he might. Observe the pedigree: Spirits

The absinthe habit was brought from

properties as a ~febrifuge. Its use as a
stimulant spread through the army and
navy to such an extent that it is now
strictly prohibited. On the continent the
great consumption of the spirits is in

The entire consumption of beer in
Colorado and Wyoming last year was
more than 162, 900 barrels. Statistics
from the entire country show an increase
Of consumption oyer that of the pre-
ceding year of about 2f per cent. In
California and Nevada there was an in
crease of about Is per cent, despite
the vineyard. There was no falling off in
the use of beer, practically, except in the
prohibition states, and in those states the
consumption will surprise the supporters
of prohibitory legislation. Iowa con-
sumed about I26, 900 barrels and Kansas
about half hat number. Colorado and
Wyoming disposed of about two and one-
half times as much of the stuff as did
Montana. Utah aud Idaho together. Per
haps this is to be accounted for by OUT
exceedingly dry climate,a remark which |
am constrained to make in all seriousness,
for | discover in looking over the stats
tics, that durilg the wet portions of the
year there is less of the beer consumed
than during the dry. by many thousands
of barrels.

ECHOES FROM THE DEN.

@HAT there Is a growing consump-
40 ton of malt liquors in this country,
%S the statistics prove. That there is
an increasing family consumption of the
frothy liquid, observation equally shows.
Nor is the beverage a vulgar drink of the
qulgar masses. In the cellars ofthe up
pers'' as well as on the tables of the
''middles" or in the 'growlers' of the
lowers is found the amber beverage.
Nor is this increasing family use particu-
larly pronounced among, or confined to
the fast sets. Should you take the
trouble to inquire, you will be assured by
wholesale dealers that they number among
their customers citizens of utmost respect
ability and unquestioned good standing in
our community, and a little well directed
investigation will s~ubstantiate this assur-
ance. st. Louis and Milwaukee export
beer is delivered by the dozen to scores
of our families, where, a few years ago, it
was delivered to comparatively few.

some one has been endeavoring to Elk"
matters with regard to the mutinous mem
bers of the National Guard in San Fran
cisco. 1t is proposed that the men be "let
off with small fine. This is the propo-
sltion that was made to the officers of the
First Infantry Regiment before the men
mutinied-that they may be permitted to
violate the la and be punished only by
infection of nominal fine. That would
indeed be fine outcome, farcical ending
of grave and serious matter. If the
Court-martial now in session accepts any
such proposition, or so acts as to Justify be-
lief that it is party to it, it will disgrace
its cloth and dishonor the service. The
time to settle this whole business and for
all time, is now. If the men are found
guilty, let them at least be dismissed from
the service. There are plenty of other
musicians ready to take their places and
enjoy the benefits assured them. If it is
found that the bands complained against
were guilty, to retain them will be to APP.

missal. If it is true, as the San Francisco
Alta alleges, that the mutineers declare
that an arrangement has been effected by
which the musicians will be retained and
only nominally punished, then the Ma.

disarmament will be advisable.

a well known merchant who has been
greatly benefited by joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, desired to give it to his wife, who
was very delicate, but out of caution first
consulted his physician, DR.. W H. Griswold
of $50 Market street. The doctor, who is one
OF our leading practitioners objected, saying
he had never seen sarsaparilla that did not
contain potash, which thinned the blood:
that his patient did not have any vitality to
lose, and that what delicate people need is
not decreased vitality, but more blood He
however consented when assured that Joys
Vegetable sarsaparilla was opposed to the
blood thinning idea OF other sarsaparillas,
and that on the contrary by specific vcgeta-
Bile alternatives it promoted digestion, and re-
paired nutrition, hence created new blood
and was the very thing for feeble people.
The above explains the many cases in which
aged, delicate and run down people, have
been built up by joys Vegetable SarsapariIla

A CATHOLIC clergyman of San Fran
cisco, Father F. J. Sullivan, has the
courage to denounce the pugilistic craze
from the pulpit In terms eminently fitting.
He takes up the subject without gloves
and treats it as one affecting social order
and common morality. He does not ex-
anime it from religious standpoint, but
makes strong and trenchaut assault upon
the adulation of pugilists, because of the
demoralizing result that must inevitably
be visited upon society by such worship of
false heroes. He points out that a great
danger is its effect upon the youth of the
day, since the slogging mania has no other
than brutalizing result. 1t inevitably
leads to cruelty, to hardening of the sensi-
bilities, to a partial paralysis of the merci-
full impulse, and instead of stimulating
the manly instincts vitalizes the animal.
The lads of the street seem to have no
loftier ambition than to be able to give
and receive punishment in fstic encounters
at all convenient times and places, and
! their models are not men Of peace and
sober industry, but the heroes of the prize
ring, the men who consort with the classes
that are found chiefly in the dens of in
fanny. The Priest points out that the
pugilistic craze has invaded circles in So
ciety that lay claim to responsibility and
refinement, and that hold up their hands
in horror at the mere suggestion of asso-
citation with the classes that make the
slogging matches possible. He scores a
strong point in recalling the fact that we
berate the Spanish for their sports of the
bull-ring, which in their worst phases are
neither so brutalizing, objectionable nor
cruel as those of the slogging pit. There
was some excuse in the olden times, as the
Priest well says, for the encouragement of
personal contests of the slogging order,
since the result of war largely depended
| upon the personal strength of the combat
ants and battles were frequently decided
| by individual contests. But in this day,
when men are not equal, nor nearly equal
| in strength, and when arms give to the
weak dangerous and deadly means of de-
Tense against the strong, the culture of
pugilism is not only unwarranted by the
seeming of excuse, but it really tends to
make the resort to deadly weapons more
frequent on the part of the unskilled,
against the aggressions of those who pre-
sumo upon their superiority in the So
called manly art" While he does not
! express himself upon the subject, we as
sumo that this pulpit orator does not con-
denim those athletic exercises nor that
| training which fits the man by reason of
acquired skill to withstand the assaults of
the strong 1t is the abuse of boxing that
rouses his indignation; the craze or mania
that insists upon men fighting for the
amusement of others, as did the slaves of
the Roman amphitheater, where they were
compelled to contest with wild beasts, and
with one another to the death, for the
entertainment of the benches, where hard
ness Of heart and unmercifulness dwelt in
the persons of the masters, victors in war,
and the patricians whom wealth and power
had made insensible of the value of human
life.

THE INTERSTATE LAW.

The Chicago Herald is of the opinion
that 10 one can demonstrate that the in
terstate commerce law has accomplished
any good for the country as yet, or can
successfully maintain that it is likely to do
SO. The judgment of our contemporary is
sound. What the law has accomplished is
the depreciation of the earnings of rail
roads and the transfer of large part of
the transcontinental business of transporta-
ton to the British non-taxpaying and
enormously subsidized railway on our
northern border The Herald thinks that
the law should go farther or not so far;
that it should place the American rail-
roads completely under Governmental con-
troll, or allow their managers to run them
as their interests dictate The absurdity
of Government operation Of the roads has
been conceded generally, while on the
other hand compliance with the laws of
trade, commerce and the operation of COM
petitive influences are the sureSt guides to
success, and the very best guarantees that
the interests of the people and of the own
ers of the roads alike will be conserved.

THE State Board of Trade has deter
mined to continue the california on
Wheels exhibition. We are of the opin-
ion that this is sound judgment Unless
the reports of the interest taken by the
people at the East in this free exhibition
of California products are misleading, the
enterprise is one Of the best that this peo-
pie have yet engaged in, and would alone
justify the existence of the State Board of
Trade. 1t is a matter of registry that the
car has been visited by over 100000 people
since it left the State, and that the inter-
est manifested by them has not been one
Of trivial curiosity, but of earnest and
thoughtful inquiry. But to keep the car
rolling, and the exhibition in worthy rep
resentative condition, the State Board
must have assistance. There must be
given to it financial aid by its affiliated
bodies, and especially liberal and varied
must be the contributions to the exhibi-
ton. That must be freshened throughout,
and so far as is possible enlarged and beau
titled. The intention is to have the cars
reach Milwaukee in August, on the occa-
sion of the Grand Army Encampment. To
the end that a replenished fine showing
may be made there and from that time for
ward, contributions for the car should
reach the State Board by the first day of
August. Let every one capable of adding
to the exhibition consider this appeal per-
sonal, and there will then be certainty that
the refreshed exhibit of our products will
do honor to the State, and as much good
in the months to come as in the months of
ITS usefulness past. There is not needed a
large quantity from each contributor, but
there is needed variety of contribution
and choice quality. Nothing should be
sent TO the Board for the exhibit that is
not selected judiciously, and as a repre-
sentative, fairly and honestly so, of the ca
pacity Of our soil and climate. We trust
that the appeal of the State Board will
meet with hearty and prompt response.
If it sh Juld not, it will amount to a YER
diet against an exhibition that is COM
mended universally at the East, and that
has done more, possibly, to advertise the
State than all previous efforts. for the
simple reason that we have fortified asser-
with proof, and have taken the exhibition
to the very doors of the people.
