A MOST HlDEOUS SIGHT.

Destruction.


Destruction.
An intoxicated woman is, | think,
the most hideous sight in the world.
Sho is so rcpulsiyc that it is almost
impossible to be charitable and pitiful
to the degraded object
Yet it would do some women good,
| think, to stand and look at this sight
women who do not dream of the
depths toward which they wander
You, for instance, Bridget, who, good
cook as You are, keep bottle in your
pocket, and now and then find your
self with an unsteady hand and Il bad
head in consequence.
You, Mrs A, who only just once in
way mix a bowl OF hot toddy to
strengthen your ovectasked nerves
and muscles, and do not remember
that when you have had a glass, or
perhaps two, you should drink no
more The two glasses leave you as
you were; the third makes you drivel;
the fourth makes yoH sick.
"And is this all for poor women?"
some one may ask. Indeed, no.
Women, high and low, rich and poor,
have need to guard themselves we'll.
There are beautiful young wives whose
buffers know how much champagne
they have scnt to thcir rooms-whose
maids guess the cause of their sick
headaches, whose doctors understand
and smile in their sleeves, as they
speak of NERVOUS pr0stratiOn' and

beautiful young wives are on Their way
to the gutter also; for woman needs
all her senses about her to guard the
talisman of her purity-the precious
pearl OF honor without which she is as

In drink she forgets her dignity, and

PORTER'S QUEER EDICTS.
A Man Who Should BE Closely Watched
by All Honest Citizens.

Every thing that Census Superin-
tendent Porter does seems to be
viewed with suspicion, and the singu-
lar part of it is that about every thing
Mr.. Porter does is calculated to arouse
suspicion. When he was appointed it
was proclaimed all over the country
that his appointment was solely in the
interest of the monopolies, who relied
on him to manipulate the census sta
tistics so as to make favorable show
ing for the protectionists. Possibly
the accusation was unjust, yet it Is
certain that Mr. Porter has done
nothing in his own vindication. On
the contrary, every move that he
makes is calculated to confirm the i'm
preston that went abroad when he
was first appointed. Not long ago it
was suggested to him that the census
force should be appointed in the way
p rescribed by the Civil-Service
law. This suggestion was scout
ed by Mr.. Porter, and he
made an elaborate argument to
show that examinations for ap-
pointment would be detrimental
to success in census taking. just as
the country had made up its mind to
let the census superintendent have his
way about it, he reverses his opinion
and decides that examinations are
necessary. But he doesn't propose to
allow the Civil-Service Commission to
have a finger in his census pie, so he
announces that he will establish an
examination system of his own, indie
pendent of the Civil-Service law and
rules. just where Mr.. Porter gets
his authority to establish a system of
special examination is not apparent.
1t occurs to US that, if examinations
are desirable at all, the census super
intenden: should be governed by the
general law, which does not except his
bureau from its operations. This
special examination business is really
suggestive of son of Africa being con-
eealed in the census wood-pile some
where. At all events, it will be nee
essary for the people of this country
to keep their eyes skinned while Mr..
Porter is taking the census. We want
an honest census. and nothing short of
that will satisfy the people. st Paul

A Practical Demonstration.

The members of mutual aid and in
surance associations are beginning to
realize, in practical way, the ravage5
of alcohol as affecting their material
interests. The medical examiner of
the Ancient Order of United Workmen,
at the last annual meeting held in New
York City, made statement TO the
effect that: "Three-fourths of the
deaths in the order were due TO intox-
icants, and unless a change was made
in the laws of the association, demand
ing a higher state OF scbriety, the loss
would be even more disastrous in the
future" Ultimately, it is to be hoped.
a larger proportion of laboring men
may see that abstinence means health
and economy. and so be induced to
enroll themselves among abstainers.

The Revival of SectionaIism.

Our indianapolis correspondent has
transmitted remark OF Colonel Quay
to the effect that that political strate-
gist was satisfied that President Harri,
son would "make the Southern ques-
tion prominent and would settle it so
that justice would be done to the col
ored people," Is it not about time
that this foolish talk should be aban-
doned by every body. and particularly
by "NapoleonP" The Republican
party had complete possession of the
Government, in all it's branches, for
nearly twenty years after the war.
During all that period it ''made the
Southern question prominent" with
the result, according to Republican
testimony, that the colored people were
as badly off at the end OF Republican
rule as at the beginning. The party
tried every expedient, from military
governments to returning boards, and
found them all futile. Public opinion
will not now permit recurrence to
these methods. 1t is virtually made
up on the point that the South must be
permitted to settle its local affairs in
its own way. The next Republican
President will show good sense II he
does not make the Southern question
any more prominent than the Western
question or the New England question.
