"By Their Fruits You Will Know

The fruits Of prohibition are pros
perity, wealth, a decrease Of crime,
an improvement Of social conditions.
1t has made friends wherever tried.
the fruits Of the Rum traffic are
well known to all mentor who are
there in this broad land who has
not been familiarized with the evils
born in this upas? Even the Rum
kings themselves see the hand-writ-
ing on the wall. Rum has been
weighed in the balance and found
wanting. The Rum power is alarm
ed for its life, for the people are
aroused. It may seem to be long to
the faithful workers in the ranks Of
Prohibition, but the time is coming
when the people will rise in their
might, from ocean to ocean, from
the Lake to the Gulf, and will PM-
reise the Rom Pocer.

What Shall the End BE?

In an old copy Of the Medical and
agricultural Register, published in
Mass. in 1870, DR.. j. N. Buzzell has
come cross the following bit oftem-
perance catechism that shows that
Rum had even then gained no very
enviabie reputation for himself, and
proves that even at that time it was
safest to let him alone.
Question. What is the chief end
Of Rum?
Answer. The chief end Of Rum
10 70 make teddy, flip and punch.
@. What are the comforts which
tipplers receive from toddy, flip and
punch2
A. The comforts which tipplers
receive from toddy, flip and punch
are ease of conscience, joy in the
comforter, increase Of love thereto
and perseverance therein to the end.
G.. Wherein CONSISTENT that ease
Of conscience which tipplers receive
from toddy, flip and punch?
A. That Ease of conscience which
they get from toddy, flip and punch,
consistent in a forgetfulnees Of the
past, . besstly enjoyment of the
present, and IN indifference towards
the future.
G.. In what state will the love Of
rum and the inordinate use oft
bring mankind?
A. The love Of rum and inordi-
nate use Of it win bring mankind to
q folorn and wretched state.
G. What are the evils which in
this do either accompany OF flow
from a habitual immoderate indul-
gence in rum?
A. The evils, which in life, do
either accompany or flow from a
habitual immoderate indulgence in
the use Of rum, are sickness, shame,
poverty aud distress.
G.. What shall the end be?
A. When the hard drinker shall
have wasted his estate, ruined his
constitution and alienated the affcc-
tions of his friends; when you shall
see his affairs falling into ruin and
decay, his children hungry and ma
ked, his wife in tears; when you
shall see all these things, then know
that the end is nigh, even at the
door. Loss Of appetite, a bloated
visage; trembling hands and feeble
knees are but faint indications Of
the sufferings he feels within. Beast
", scottish, debased in reason, and
vile IN manners, he sinks from the
character Of man TO the grade Of a
brute. All who once knew him
now pas him by; his friends ne
glect him, disease torrents him, ex-
ecutions vex him, creditors tease
him, sheriffs seize him; till nature,
oppressed and overcome by continual
injuries, resigns her worthless charge
and he sinks unlamented to the
grave. Surely. this is an evil, and
the end thereof is sorrow.

hotel lobby was a mass of humanity.
The president received in the DarlOrs

He contended that neither man or

The lawyers are beginning to fear Ma

to be doubtful of their right to inter

cannot claim to be ali officer of the
Circuit court as Judge Field can. IF he
refuses to recognize the federal right
to interfere, Nagle will be
promptly returned to Stock

The sentiment here in regard to his &C.
ton still remains divided, but in the
country, judging from editorial opin-

showed great eagerness to kill Terry.
There is no way of disprOving Por-

Queen Victoria, by the way, is going
down to Wales in few days. and up
to week ago il seemed that the usual
loyal greeting would be extended to her.
Now, however, there is some doubt as
to that. Wales is the hotbed of the
disestablishment, the war for the re-
covery of tithes having always been
more bitter in that section than i'm any
other part of the kingdom. The ran
cor attending the discussion of the
question in the House of Commons
seems to have inflamed the minds of
the fiery Welshmen, for one of the
prominent bards(2) of that people. a
certain Tom Gee of Denbigh, tells tia
Queen pretty plainly in a little paper
he publishes, called the BANNER, that
she, as the head of the Established
Church, is the cause OF all their woes
including the 1.-THE trouble; that she
Is one stumbling block in the Way of
redress, and that il she escapes being
Missed out OF Wales she may think
herself lucky. This was a bombsheII.
The authorities have been up in arms
ever since, and talked very largely
about prosecuting the bard, but, unfor.
tunately for the Queen, there are too
many WelshmI n q the bard's wav OF
thinking, and legal proceedings might
lead to riot. Therefore the notion
arrived at is to ignore Tom Gee. The
trouble is that Mr.. Gee and his follow.
ers may not ignore the Queen altogeth.
