Remember the Faithful Letter CARRIERS
Editor EVENING JOURNAL.
| would like. through the columns of
your valuable paper, to call the attention
of the citizens OF our beautiful city to
those public servants who, / think,
are very much neglected - the
letter carriers of our city. l hope
that while every one is thinking of his
friends and neighbors, and contempla
ting giving them Christmas presents
he will turn his attention on Christmas
morning to the overworked letter carriers,
who are ever ready TO take from our
hands our letters OF love and gifts to
others, and who early and late, through
storm and sunshine, work In order to bring
blessings to others You may not be able
TO help largely, but hope all will re
member that a gift. though small will
encourage your carrier in his mission Of
kindaess, and bring JOY TO him and to his
familys hearts and homes to know that
his patrons appreciate him for his kind
ness and the favors, which he is ever
ready to grant

Our FdPlIa.

What are our ideals? Brisfly-an indi-
vidual self-government with brains, blood
and nerves that are not stepped in poison
A home, love governed, where the curses
of the alcohol maniac and the pitiless moan
of his hapless wife and children are never
heard. A church, Christ governed, that
stands with God for the prohibition of evil
and the salvation Of men, and dares rebuke
sin in high places by ballot as well as ex-
hortation. A State, justce-goyerncd that
seorns to fill its Golfers with the price of
virtue and of blood, through high license
or an acknowledged iniamy. A Nation,
governed, the commerce and civliza-
ton OF which can touch heather nations
without sending them to lower savagery,
and meet the stranger within it's gates
with other welcome than tile open doors of
the legalized saloons.
Are these ideals high? Friends, they
are possible, and the height thur attainable
is more than ideal it is duty and goes be-
fore the jndgment.-Wary z. Lathrop.

The road to ruin is paved with charm
less stimulants." Their normal, and al
most inevitable, tendency is the develop
ment of an appetite for stronger poisons,
and the progress of that development often
defes the resistance of the most sincere
good resolutions" The medieval legends
of men selling their souls to the archfiend
are al most realized in the moral bondage OF
dram-drinker who q few years ago
thought it so easy to control his fondness
for ''harmless tonic" That fondness has
vanished in way not contemplated in the
original programme of the stimulant dupe,
who now finds beer and wine growing as
insipid as ditch-water, and who might as
we'll try to ''brace up his torpid system
with oatmeal cruel as with cup of good

is thrown away on his callous palate; he
must keep his contract with hell, by con-

grim alternative of working out his saliva

A KunselIer,s story.

A man named Stacy, the owner of
splendid drinking saloon in New York
signed the pledge lately and closed his
house. Hearing that party of lads had
formed themselves into a temperance So
ciety, he went to them and gave them his
experience as rumseller. We repeat
some of his recollections for our larger
audience.
Il sold LIQUOR said mir. Stacy, ''ior

the beginning and end of its effects. l
have seen man take his first glass of
liquor in my place, and afterwards fill the
grave of suicide. I have seen man after
man, wealthy and educated, who cannot
now buy his dinner. I can recall twenty
customers, worth from one hundred thous-
aud dollars to five hundred thousand dol
lars each, who are now without money

He warned boys against entering saloons
on any pretext whatever. He stated that
he had seen many a young fellow, member
of temperance society, come in with

Thanks, all the same" Presently, rather
than seem churlish, he would take glass
of harmless lemonade. 1.-THE lemonade
was nothing" said the rumseller, .'but
knew how it would end. The only safety,
boys, for any man, no matter how strong
his resolutions, is outside the door of the
saloen.''

We see that DR.. Sequard, DIR. Brown
Sequard, we believe is the full of it, has re-
solved himself into sort of self spontane-
Gus, anti-combustion, life-everlasting COM
mittee of one, with power to act, and let
tiers patent for floating one over life's tem-
pestuous sea indefinitely, without so much
as an India rubber life preserver even. In
short the Dr. is to do the Ponce de Leon
business, and insure perpetual youth to
the applicant whatever his or her age, or
previous condition of servitude. Well, that
is refreshing surely. Nobody to shuttle off
this mortal coil, nobody to pass in cheques
and wave an adieu to the sublunary things
OF time and sense. Good bye doctors,
good bye quacks, good bye everybody in
any way interested in posthumous
way. Good bye forever to the grave Dig
ger Good bye the 10x90 funeral process
sions--the ten to tenderly mourn the de-
parted. and the ninety to get good dim
ner. Good bye the newspaper obituary,
the pathetic verse and mourning eulogy.
Good bye, an eternal good bye to these, one
and in severalty, if the beautiful theory
of DR.. Brown-Sequard maintains. Let 'er
wave, Doctor.

the pen of r. H. Thurston, Director of
Sibley College, Cornell University, in
which lie declares that the present supply
of the coal product of the world will be
entirely exhausted in about $4,000 years,
allowing rate of expenditure twice as
great as to day. Mr.. Thurston, in an elab-
crate and very careful way, approximates
guess of the coal producing area of the
world, which he places at about 400, 600
square miles, three fourths of which is in
the United States, and one-fourth in Great
Britain. The latter country contains, IL
addition, 200, 900, 900, 900 tons of fossil
fuels, the United States. at the same rate.
1000, 600, 900, 900 tons, and the whole world
5000, 900, 900, 900 tons. These are Mr.
Thurston's figures, and debating from this
supply he concludes that the human race
has but little time to live on this earth. I'M
less it can find, and promptly too, means
of economizing it's stock of heat and
available power, or unless some other
resource, as yet unknown, is discovered by
the man of science or by the inventor.
This speculation of Mr.. Thurston is of
great interest, coming as it does from so
respectable an authority, but leads us no
nearer a solution to the question at the
beginning of this article what is to be the
outcome of the waste of SO much natural

The New emancipation.

o Great Republic, rise and shake
Thyselg thine iron fetters break,
For thou art bound: thy statesmen fail
With brain and heart TOO weak, they quail
Before the oligarchic throng
That build their bulwarss strong.
Arise, o Nation,
Declare ii new emancipation.
The drink-lords, scarlet-vested, hold
Their titles bought with yellow gold,
And laugh TO see the Nation reel
with burdens which they scorn to feel;
They hold the keys of power. and faint
The Nation grows without complaint;
An outlaw rises
And smites the Land which he despises.
Where Is the coming citizen,
" hose hand shall grasp the patriot pen
And write the ediet strong and grand,
Which shall emancipate the land,
And crush the oiigareh of drink
when men shall act as now they think,
And all united
Shall chase away the curse a1frighled.
