How do I make PINK icei That is what
most everybody asks, 1t is no end OF a puz-
ze to our customers how we color 1t. And
yet the solution to the problem is very sim
pie. Just look behind the lump OF ice"
The mystery was revealed. On the back
side of the lump OF ice was pasted a sheet OF
pink tissue paper. The color showed through,
and the general effect was that of a frozen
c%laret, or, one should rather say, claret punch.

Political Parties.

So far as their histories show. the pur-
poses and platforms of the Democratic
and Republican parties. with the excep-
ton Of the tariff issue. have been one and
the same for the last twenty-five years.
Politics, in this country. is scramble
for Office. Fraud, deceit. falsehood and
bribery are the means to the end. The
hope of public plumber is the glttering
rainbow to which all partisan eyes are
turned.
Official pap is the great common prin-
ciple on which the hosts Of either party
rally. and the one which can work it's
political thimble rigging to the best al.
vantage wins the prize. 1t sounds like
cracking u joke over an open grave to
hear politicians talk Of the fundamental
principles of our government" while
they believe in it only because of the
sustenance it furnishes them. Party
leaders on both sides are men devoid OF
conscience. They hesitate at nothing
that promises party success. To lie fol-
party is virtue, and to tell the truth is
crime. There are men at the heads VI
both these great organizations who have
been for years ripe for the penitentiary.
The masses of the people are honest in
their political purposes. but they are mis-
guided by men calling themselves states
men. They follow blindly in the tur-
moil and hubbub for public place. They
think they are discharging their duties
as patriots when, in truth, they are but
the blind puppets of corrupt bosses.
There can he no such thing as purity
in politics until both the old parties are
overthrown.-ln

TABLE OF CHICAGO SALOONS.

IL will be observed that the "hush
money" paid by the saloon keepers in
1899 was go per cent. increase over that
paid in 1882, the last year of low license.
The above table shows the number Of
saloons that have paid the full amount
Of the annual license fee for any given
year. It is arrived at by dividing the
total retail license fees received in any
year by the amount of the license fee for
q single saloon. The number of saloon
licenses in force in Chicago today, Oct.
90, 1890, is 5,62S. This | learned from
the city collectors office.
The concentration Of the business into
the hands of the brewers and the syndi-
Gates created by them drought about
largely through the high license policy,
has caused the business to be pushed as
never before. The effect is plainly visi-
bic in the increased consumption of
liquor Of all kinds. Statistics of the con.
sumption of spirituous liquors in Chi
cago have never been compiled, or if
compiled, have never been made public.
But the testimony Of the distillers that
high license has been benefit instead
Of an injury to their business is suffici.
ent evidence of the increased consump-
ton of spirituous liquors under the high
license policy.
As to the consumption of beer the sta.
tistics have been compiled and made
public.
In the following table the statistics as
10 the consumption of beer for the years
from 1882 to 1885 inclusive | obtained
from The Inter-Ocean, and for the re.
mainder Of the time from the annual
trade review compiled and published by
The Chicago Tribune on the first of
every year. 1t is curious to note in this
connection the cost Of maintaining the
police department. l therefore place
the two tables side by side:

,EER CONSUMPTION AND POLICE EXPENSE.


1t will be seen from the above that
the increase in the consumption Of beef
from 1882 to and including 1889 was
1859 per cent. and that the cost of main.
tanning our police department has in
creased during the same period of eight
years 1900 per cent. Our population
in 1880 gives MS, think, population o.
1.lOl. 263. including all annexed territory
That is an average increase of lis pei
cent. each year, or Ola per cent. for
eight years. Hence the consumption OF
beer increased during the last eight
years more than 81 per cent. faster than
the population increased.
II We left out of the count the annexed
territory, which was not counted as part
of the city in 1880 or in 1889. the show
ing would be still worse for high license.
The Chicago Tribune. that able and
powerful opponent of Prohibition, said
editOrially Jan. II, 1888:
High license. reasonably and proper
ly enforced, is the only barrier against
Prohibition in tile present temper of the
people in almost every state of the
Union"
Those who favor Prohibition are be-
ginning to learn that they were deluded
when they supported high license be-
cause they thought it IA step toward Pro-
hibition.
