The L!quor-vender's Tyranny.

Daily in reading tho news, and daily
in passing through the streets, we are
impressed by the triumphant power of
the rum-seller. It seems to the ordi-
nary observer that the more he is de-
spised and denounced, the more he
fourishes and rules. Dunphy, the
liquor-seller. defies the Adjutant-Gen-
eral, the Colonel and all the other off,
GERS of the regiment at Peekskill,
glories in the tbrong Of soldiers he
lures into his don on the borders of the
camp AT one time it was estimated
that there were fully two hundred and
fifty men drinking at the bar" It is
the appetite for beer and other stimu-
lants. however, which gives the rum
seller his influence and wealth. His
desire for the peoples money would not
be gratified 50 munifcently If 1T were
not for their desire for the excitement
or stupefactiop that is bought with rum.
While the lsbofer is at work, his vito
and children are going to the saloon
with pals and pitchers for the foaminp
beer. This Is not our imagination.
