DIR. CROSBY.S LATEST.
There IL but One Remedy-the d
structiOn Of the KuMshOp."

''1herc La but One kemeuy-the De.
structiOn of the R%umshop."
Such is the remark able assertion Of DIR.
Howard Crosby in the May Forum. We
nave mere than DIG uEqualife dly con-
demned DR.. Crosby's position OIL the liq-
nor question and have said that his exam
pie was more harmful. more dangerous to
young men than that OF "a thousand rum
sellers. But we propose to deal honestly
with Dir. Crosby as with every one, and
We quote as above with more than ordinary
qualification.
DR.. Crosby's article is on Government
by Rum Sellers" 1t is short, but pun-
gent and forceful. In it he shows what
the average rum seller is. ''They do not
hesitate to break the laws, and they do
not hesitate to swear to falsehoods." We
do not relish the rule of such men, yet
such are elected to office, as in New York
city, where ten of the twenty-six members
of the board of aldermen are liquor dealers,
and can control that body as they choose,
They are sent to legislatures to enact laws
Notwithstanding the evident fact that a
large majority of voters do not want such
men in such responsible positions.
As the doctor approaches the close of
his article he almost gets on the platform
of the Prohibition party, which me has SO
persistently opposed for years. Hear
him:
This is the most important question
now before the American public. Tariff,
railroad, the negro, the fisheries, Canadian
reciprocity, pan-Ameriean alliance and the
silver question are all of secondary conse-
quence when compared with this matter
of the fundamental morals of legislation
and society. 1t would be we'll if the at
tention of our citizens could be diverted
from all other questions and concentrated
on this, until it should be settled that rum
is not to rule our land andspread its filth and
corruption over the glorious lpotentialities
of the heritage with which a generous
Providence has endowed u.s."
One might we'll imagine this extract
as part of a Prohibition party platform,
rather than from one who has set his face
like a flint against Prohibition and the only
party which believes in and works for it.
The logic of his article ends in a Prohibit
tion party. If the saloon is so dangerous
to our nation, If its power is st great as to
make it likely ito rule over our land and
spread its filth and corruption" then all
other issues ale indeed of secondary i'm
portance," and every good citizen should
take position at the ballot box against this
monster evil.
This it the purpose Of the Prohibition
party. Its founders recognized the truth
which DR.. Crosby now declares, and, like
practical men, formed a nucleus around
which might rally all who opposed gov
by rum sellers" If Dir. Crosby
is loyal to his own logic We shall soon see
him in the Prohibition camp, where it is
to be hoped lie viii be able to do good
work, for a noble cause, and thus make
a mends for his strange couise in the past.

Ia another week the Governor will name
a number of Commissioners of Deeds. 1t
has been discovered that he has power to
do so, when the joint session fails to name
them. He has written to Democratic AS
semblymsn and allowed them to name
men for the office, and in Republican dis
tricts he has consulted with township
Democratic committeeman. There will be
no Republicans named. Senator Roe, of
Gloucester, and Isaac Mofett, Collector of
Internal Revenue at Camden, called on the
Governor recently and requested the ap-
pointment of some Republicans in Glou-
cester county. The Governor very frank
ly stated that he would make the appoint
meats in Gloucester, but he would get a
list of coed Democrats TO select from, adj
ding these words, Il am in this thing for

social Problems.

In Tile Daun for May Miss Frances
Willard has an article on christian So
cialism and Temperance" She speaks of
herself as mot an expert on the subject of
Christian Socialism; but it looks" she OBJ
serves, ''as if CErist's spirit were getting
into the every day thought of our people
everywhere through this new door of
Christian Socialism as through no other.
More wage workers call for the New Tes-
lament and favor our Sunday rest now
than at any previous time in the worlds
history. The Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union takes a broad view of social
problems. 1t belongs to the newer school
of political economists represented by Pro-
fessor Ely of John Hopkins university
rather than that of those who care only for
the survival Of the stronger, leaving the
under dog in the fight to such conditions
as would develop all his inherent powers
Of becoming the upper II himself"
Speaking later of Cnrist's spirit of serving
others she says: "The brotherhood of man,
the sisterhood of woman, the holy land of
America-these are all yetto come through
His " ords that are the spirit and the life. "

whisky In the Capitol.

The Scranton (Pa.) Mder (Catholic)
says: Whisky was never sold SO openly in
the Capitol of the United States as at pres
ent. Nobody thinks of paying any re-
spect to the law, which fOrbids the sale of
intoxlcants in the building. In the House
and Senate restaurants wine, beer and
whisky arc sold by the drink or bottle to
all corners, just as in any other saloon. 1t
is not necessary to disguise the order, and
none but smart aleck amateurs or green
strangers think Of indulging in the hypoc-
risy of giving an orderf for cold tea when
plain American whisky is wanted. The
man who orders cold tea gets what he de-
serves-cold tea. Whisky is served in
glasses and beer by the bottle to all who
order them.

The strength OF whiskey.

Strength, is it, it gives to the men. And
which needs it most, thin, I'd like to
know-Pat with his great stout frame, and
a fist that would send me skiting a rod if
he liked; or me that weighs but a hundred
pound, and am only four feet six in the
slippers my mither put on me? Strength
it gives, does it? I'll tell ye the strength
it gives? Didn't he GENE nome last Satur-
day night as drunk as a haste? w ell he
did. And hadn't | the beautiful supper
for him? And what does he do, the first
thing, but throw my tay-pot beyant the
backlog? l wasen't to be put by, SO /
stint his brown jug to keep it company.
Faith, but it was wroth thin he was, and
up goes his strength, and puts me out of
the door, a-staggerin' all the while, and
bangs it on me, lawn the children screamin'
like mad. But you know, my Teddy, I'm
spry as a cat, so | jumps in at the back
windy, and jist while he settled himself on
the stool feminist the fire, | wltched it
from under and laid him a-sprawlin' On
the floor, fiat on his back; and he was jist
that strong with his whiskey. he couldn't
get up at all, at all. And didn't / set the
table over him, and dance the beautiful
hornpipe atop in spite Of him? Troth, /
did; and l can do it again " henever he gets
the strength of whiskey in him. That's
the strength it gives, my leddy-I know;

Some years since, say sixty or more,
Chicago was the site of an Indian village,
and the ''far West extended no farther
back thar Columbus or Cincinnati, Ohio.
Philadelphia was at the same TIME a large
and important city, as indeed it was some
what large and quite important in the
early days of the Revolutionary war. Now
it is shown by the late CELSIUS that the
"Windy City," as the jealous rivals of this
great Western metropolis owe to style it,
FORCES way ahead of Philadelphia in popu-
lation and is second only to New York as
the largest city on this continent. Such
progress is indeed startling and exhibits
the wonderful possibilities of the great
and boundless West.

In Eul0sY OF MnIer.

1t is related of the late Emory Storrs
that when sitting around a wine table
with a number of legal friends lie insisted
on drinking ice water. They tainted him
for his a~bstemiousness, saying: "What is
there i'll water? You can say nothing for
it, Picking up his glass he exclaimed:

as a distinguished speaker put it tue other

looks now as if this same party in the year

viz, to infiict and perpetuate Republican

That was a f~nll.blOssomed remark of
Singerly, editor of the Philadelphia Record,
that 'on the very first day OF the Temper
ance Congress held in New York city some
of the speakers backed water Oh the Pro-
hibition plan" Now, here's richness for
you right at home. OF course they did,
old fellow, that's what they were there
for, "to down the saloon and devise some
plan in which all the friends of temperance
could unite in the effort, prohibition or no
prohibition" Took water on prohibition,
Ell? Certainly, why not if some one had a
better plan and could produce it? Their
business was TO take water on anything
they chose-on license high or low or none
at all, on this idea or that, or anything, so
that a racket was stirred up and discussion
provoked ON the Temperance question.
There may nave been men at that congress,
and doubtless were, who knew less about
''hoss' than Editor Singerly, but on the
temperance line-well, for a clear, un-
prejudiced and honest discussion of the
prohibition question we would as soon
take Editor Slngcrly's horse as Editor
Singerly himself. About as soon.

Right and wrong stimulus.

Man requires stimulus. 1t is his spirits
native air. 1t is like the steam to the en-
CINE and wind to the sail. He ignorant
ly seeks it in the nicotine dream, the hallu-
cination of drink and the brutal delirium
of lust. But all the while, voices from
heaven were calling him, only he did not
listen, to Gods modes of stimulation-tlie
threefold loves of the soul; one is the
mystic bond that binds two hearts and
builds a home; another is the blessed tie
of human brotherhood that broadens out
into a work beneficent, and, crowning all,
the love Of God, the holy spirit setting the
soul ahame for unity with him who is both
its Creator, its Master and its Redeemer.

More than this that they have most griev-

can people in %supposing they will submit
tamely to a strain of the Constitution at
once illogical and revolutionary ~ithout a
strong mental and political protest. The
measure, If serving any one purpose more
than another, appears TO be to build up the
Republican party Of the nation at the cx-
pense of the possible wreck of the consti-
t%utional liberty and the exercise of a free
mans right at the polls. This will never
do, and the attempt VIII be met by a re-
volt, even among the friends of the Re-

these conspirators from power as the forces
of a mighty wind bear all weaker obstruc-
