The Sayoon.Keeper,s Privilege.

Grand Worthy Chief Templar Palmer,
in recent speech i'll Omaha. stated that
Hastings got $4,000 last year for grant
ing the saloon keepers the privilege, and
they dragged down to death five helpless
and uncared for victims. The wise tax
payer, however, got $4,000 Cess erpemses>
for the body and soal of each victim.
Pretty fair price, wasn't it? One of the
five came to town with q load of hogs
which brought him $40, and all but a
few cents was spent in the saloons be-
fore he left. He usually brought his lit
tie nine-year old girl with him. that if he
got too drunk she might drive the team,
but as he had hogs that day and high
sldeboards on the wagon she was left at
home.
They helped him up on the wagon,
finally. and he started for home, taking
part of flask of alcohol with him. After
getting out of town he tipped up the flask
fora last drink and as he was too drunk
to hold it he spilled it outside over his
clothes. Then he lighted his pipe and
allowed the match TO kindle the alcohol
saturated coat, and was found later,
where, while fighting the fire on his
clothes, he had fallen from his wagon and
died, his flesh having burned TO crisp.
Five widowed wives, five fatherless fam
lilies, and five souls in perdition-! But
then, ten thousand dollars is good deal

A Liquid Supposition.

Suppose that water were not general
necessity. Suppose it turned no mills,
ran no factories, made no steam, toated
no ships. carried no cargoes. Suppose it
were used only in the arts to small ex-
tent, in sickness moderately, and that
otherwise it was employed solely for
beverage purposes, while something else
existed even more certain to quench
thirst. Then suppose that food of it,
bre aking loose from some mountain reser-
voir, should pour down the dstiles, engulf
whole cities, lay waste thousands of
homes, and bury thousands of people in
its whelming tide. Suppose that such
waste and wreck and ruin were but a
common result, and inevitable so long as
the supply Of water were maintained
What would follow? An outcry against
water which would ring to Heaven!
Everybody would join in it, and every
power would be invoked for prohibiting
the awful curse. Law and gospel would
thunder against it as menace not longer
to be allowed-a crime against man, Il
defiance of God. And if water were
brewed by human hands, or distilled by
human mechanism, we should see its to-
tai prohibition within year from the de-
We opment Of such fatal characteristics
