NO MIDDLE GROUND ON THIS QUESTION


A man might us well try to wipo the
Rocky Mountains off the face Of this cont.
nent with u school-boy's sponge as to try to
eliminate the liquor problem from the issues
OF American life with any sort of measure
short Of its total absolute national prohi-
bition. 1t Is the gigantic evil of the age
and the issue OF its future life or death as q
traffic is the irrepressble conflict that is now
upon the nation. The line of division upon
this question is radical and inhexible There
is no middle territory where tho man of
conscience and patriotism can stand pro-
Tossing n love for God, country and fellow
men on one side, and practising friendship
with the liquor traffic on the other hanl He
that Is not against it is for it, by tho uu-
avoidablc logic OF tho situation, and no
manner OF argument or vchcncnce of pro-
tcstation To the contrary can ever change the
fact
The nature of liquors and the history of
the traffic in all lands convict it as the most
Stupendous curse of humanity, the enemy Of
nll Righteousness, the robber of all pros
perity, the iisturber of all peace and the
despoiler of all phases of individual and ma
tional glory No priest or publicist, no rite
or sacrament, no philosophy and no legislation
have ever been able to transmute it from a
curse into n blessing. Your own common
sense repudiates any man or argument that
seeks to teach you that the liquor traffic is a
personal or public good. If [ were to say to
you that its tendency and aim is to produce
sober, industrious and thrifty citizens instead
of sotS, paupers and criminals, not n man
or woman among you would leave this hall
to-day with an atom of respect for my YER
acity and honesty. If were to say to the
wives OF Evansville that the liquor trade is

TEMPERANCE.
SALOON MEN NEVER sliced

A bill is pending in the New York LegisIa-
ture to amend the liquor law by inserting a
clause making it unlawful for any Sheriff or
other officer, or any agent Of any society, TO
enter saloon aud offer to- purchase drinks
at an hour during which h should beskept
closed. The object, of course, is to make it
impossible for those charged with the duty of
enforcing the law to procure evidence OF it's
violation. The saloon men evidently act

keep wide awake also.--Chicago Ne,cs

MONEY VS.. BRAINS.

An Eastern journal explains away Mt.
Gladstone'S admission that majority of the
educated classes" in England are against
home rule for Ireland with the remark that
fright through English society if man has
more brains than money he is a Liberal. If
he has more money than brains he is Con-
sentative" This demareation of the tenden-
cies of men applies particularly to the edu-
Gated classes. The agricultural laborers,
who have absolutely no money but what
they earn. are admitted to constitute the
bulwark of Conservatism. 1t is quite natu-
raj for a man with brains and education
who has no money to see his chances of get
ting money by general shake UP. He has
no show with things as they are. If lie has
neither money nor family influence his first
impulse is to get ont Of the country. If he
remains at home it is because he sees q
chance 10 shake things up. 1t is unques-
.tionably true that money is conservative.
a man knows that he may lose his money,
but he never thinks of losing his power
to make money under favorable condi-
tions. The man, therefore, who has acquired
or inherited money sets himself against
radical change. He sees his way clear with
things as they are, but he does not know
how it would be with things as they are not.
1t is well to recognize the fact that the aver
age;man permits his political views to be col
ored by his personal interests. Convince a
man that he will be personally benefited by
a protective tariff and he will so far suber-
dinate his free-trade views as to cast silent
vote in favor of himself. There are excep-
tions to this rule, but they are so rare that
conclusive proof is necessary to convince the
public that there are any.

HUNTINGTON ACQUITTED.
1t Took the Jury Nearly an Hour
Find n Verdict.

1t Took the Jury Nearly an Hour to
Find n Verdict.
Sydney Huntington, the young man ar
rested in the California Athletic Club for
engaging in prize-fyht. saw the close of
his trial shortly after noon yesterday in a
verdict of acquittal. All the testimony Of
the trial was completed ON the previous day,
and argument was opened yesterday morn
ing by Assistant District Attorney Love.
He declared that for many years San
Francisco had been the Mecca for all the
sloggers of the world. There had been
more fights and fighters in this city than in
any part of the universe. Referring to the
unfortunate event that resulted in Nc
Brides death he said it was no excuse that
fights had been tolerated and that the au-
thorities had not done their duty. Here was
a case of duty we'll performed, and the Off
GERS and the law should be sustained. It
had been clearly proven to have been a
priZe-fght no matter how many precau-
tons were taken to keep it within the law.
George A. Knight, for the defense did not
think San Francisco quite as bad as Mr..
Love had attempted to make it out, and con-
sidered it unfair to surround this case with
all the odium that attaches to the lowest
characters of the community. "Roscoe
C0nkling boxed in his own home," said he,
land he was heralded all over the country
as an expert athlete. 1t does not look right
that some poor fellow should be sent to
prison for doing the same thing, simply be-
cause he does not have the same social posi-
ton"
The best people of the community are
patrons Of the raee-track, and at church
fairs lotteries are run and tickets sold for
which in other grades of society men are
sent to prison. To pick out these two young
men and send them to the penitentiary just
because moral wave had swept over the
case to be tolerated by fair-minded jury,
in view of what had been winked at in years
past and is AT the present time.
The jury was out about three-quarters OF
an hour. 1t is supposed this will dispose of
Rochette's case. and with it boxing gener-
ally in the athletic clubs

In cfSeS of real scare the creditors would
net mind the rate they had to pay for specie,
but in cases OF little furry a high rate
would protect the bank. The way in which
these financial Institutions are linked to-
getlIer, all doing an immense business with
little real capital, accounts for the readiness
with which the Bank of England and the
Rothschilds came to the relief of Barring
Brothers. If The failure of the latter house
had been made absolute confidence would
have been shattered to such degree that
nothing but specie would be accepted by
creditors. Any house built upon credit
would then have fallen, though it might be
known as the Bank of England. There is
such large profit in loaning paper money
without being at the expense of keeping
specie on hand to meet demands with that
unscrupulous financiers will continue that
system as long as they can. The invisible
and intangible thing known as credit IS the
capital upor which many men have got rich.
Credit is created by the association OF
number of people who are supposed to have
money. Individually the individuals compos-
ing such corporation would have but little
credit. Their individual promises to pay
on demand would not remain on the market
long enough for the ink on the signature to
get dry. But when they join forces. Incor-
porate and take Eame people Will bring
them really good paper, which they will ex-
change for the bank paper and pay some
thing to boot. The American banking
system somewhat limits individual enter
prise in this respect, but there are still
many ways by which common people are
made to pay financial institutions interest on
money which does not exist, or exists only
in the paper form. Whether confidence IN
this so-called admirable system of banking,
based upon credit. which prevails in En-
gland. Will be restored is matter of con-
lecture. The banking institutions will do
all they can to cover the real situation, as
the best of them would go to the wall if
there should be general demand for specie.

THE CIRCULATION OF BOOKS.

The death of Nude, the owner Of the
great English circulating library, is likely to
revive the often-repeated contrasts between
the method of English readers and that OF
American readers. We have in this coun-
try free libraries and mercantile libraries
and private circulating libraries, and num-
bers of persons rely upon them for their
daily reading. But as to books which are
not obviously ephemeral, Americans prefer
to buy them instead of Borrowing. This
they are the better able TO do, as books are
cheap. In England no one but the very rich
buys books. Everybody bOrrows them from
the circulating libraries, of which Nudes is
the type. An annual subscription to Mu-
dies costs 4 guinea. say So and for this the
subscriber may take out book and ex-
change it as fast as it is read. There is no
limit to the number of subscriptions which
an individual may take. EBglishmen who
live in the country take five, six or ten sub
scriptions; for this they are entitled to as
many books, which Nude forwards by ex-
press in boxes made for the purpose. When
the books are read they are returned, and
the box comes back in due course ladeE with
fresh reading.
The English plan has the advantage of
enabling EngliShmen to keep posted in the
-
vary from $50 to $50 year. 1t costs the
American more to possess himself of the
contents of an equal number OF books. He
cannot rely on getting the new books from
the libraries. They are in such demand
that he has to wait his turn, and weeks may
elapSe before he secures a copy of such pop
uiar works as Rulyard Kipling's Stories or
Stanley's last Thus, he loses patience,
and buys what he wants. English novels,
which are reprinted here without paying
copyright, are cheap enOugh-say 80 cents
for book which costs So in Euglaud-but
the output of the American press is grow
ing, and copyrighted works sell for 81 %
and 81 80 per volume. Twenty-Five dollars
year do not go far to reple niSh the shelves
Of library in this country.
Nude occupied i'll England the position of
midileman between author and reader.
An English publisher, in deciding on the
fate of manuscript, asked himself how
many copies Nude would take. An Amer
lean publisher never thinks OF the circula t.
ing libraries, but inquiries of his experience
whether the book is likely 10 strike the fancy
of the general public. Nude would take
thousand copies of work which was certain
to be i'll general demand; but the public APP
petite for reading being supplied from this
source, the outside demand is light. and an
English book must be very good indie ed to
| reach sale of 2000 copies in its first year.
OF an equally meritorious work published
| in this country nearly twice that number of
copies would go into consumption in the
! same period. II is not likely that we snail
ever have an American Nude, though the
| spread of education is likely to lead to
gradual increase in the number of persons
who rely upon the public libraries and tile
mercantile libraries for their intellectual
| food.

WHAT WILL YOU DO ABOUT ITr

The farce which was enacted by the Board
of Supervisors on Monday evening in trying
TO dispose OF the city printing was to have
been expected from the antecedents of that
body. We say trying to dispose of the city
printing" for it is doubtful if any legality
attaches to what it has done. The law pro-
vides substantially that the city printing
shall be given to the lowest bidder. As the
: matter stands the contract was awarded to
the Report, Notwithstanding that there were
lower bids The journal Of Commences bid
was much lower, because its usual rates
were probably not over one-half or one-third
Of those demanded by the Report. The bids
of other journals were also, as THE CALL
believes. much less than those of the paper
to which the Supervisors voted to give the
contract. We have not much doubt that the
proprietOrS of the paper which put in the
lowest bid can obtain the contract if proper
steps are taken to set aside the Illegal award.
: The CALL has no interest in the city print
ing, for ii does not want it under any circum-
stances but we dislike seeing the rights of
the public trampled upon with impunity.
. The attempt to swindle the community by
letting a contract at eXorbitant rates for
printing for two years in advance is only
one0f the outrageS which the Supervisors
are attempting. Franchises are voted away
: freely. How much money there may be in
them THE CALL does not pretend to say.
The Mayor was not present on Monday even
. ing to watch over the interests of the city
Il is. however made his duty to do so. He
Is also required to see that persons commit
ting illegal and wrongful acts are prose-
;. cuted. The individual members of tie Board
:. OF Supervisors are Liable to prosecution for
fraudulent acts committed by them while in
Office. They may also be indicted by Grand
=: Jury. Why should not somebody see what
can be done with the individual members Of
tire Board of Supervisors in that direction?
Perhaps there may be found way to reach
some of Buckeyes lambs under the incoming
administration.

BENIGHrED DISTRICTS.

On the Wednesday morning after the cleo
ton the New York Tribune claimed the
House for the Republicans. On the same
morning the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
headed its election news with the startling
announcement that "a Cyclone Hit the
Democratic Party Yesterday" The Ohio
editor was led into error by the fact that the
Republicans made heavy gains in certain
counties in that State. On this coast, 300
miles from the scene of action, the people
are better served. Two hours before The
CALL went TO press Wednesday morning it
was known in the office that the Democrats
had won the House by decided majority.
The full force Of the cyclone that had struck
the Republican party was not known until
the next day. II the New York and Cincin-
natl journals had asked this Office at mid
night how the Eastern elections had gone

BASED ON CREDIT.

English financiers have rather prided them
selves on their ability to do large business
with small amount of money. The prip-
cipie upon which this large business has
been done was that of exchanging checks.
Specie is unnecessary so long as each firm
takes another firms check without inquiry
as to whether or not the specie was in sight
to pay the check with. There is OF course
connection maintained with the reserve
fund Of specie. There is enough real money in
sight to satisfy creditors that specie is ready
for them when they want it. The plan
works well when but comparatively few of
these creditors want specie at the same time.
But the moment specie is called fur in large
quantities obstacles arise in the way of get
ting it. The Bank of England doubles its
rate of discount in TWO or three months.

HOW IS II?

A San Francisco newspaper publishes the
following:
The friends Of Timothy wheian, who muir
dered his father three years ago and was sem
fenced to twenty-five years in San GU entin, L ave
raised $1,000 for The purpose Of procuring him a
pardon. We are at a loss 10 understand IN what
way the subscribers TO the fund expected TO use
that amount OF money.
Possibly some of the persons concerned
believe that pardons may be made to glide
smoothly by "greasing" the ways, as is
done in launching a ship.
