HAS THE STATE ANY RIGHT TO LICENSE
THE SALOON TRAFFIC.?

HAS THE STATE ANY RIGHT TO LICENSE
THE SALOON TRAFFIC.?
1t Is the legitimate province of the State
in free and civil government to provide
such n system of rules and regulations as
shall secure the best protection to the
welfare of the individual and conserve
the highest good to the greatest number
of its citizens. Now no parent has any
right to deform, degrade or debase his
child, or teach him to steal or other vic
ious practices. If a parent is found do
ing any of these, the State at once steps
in and depriyes him of the custody of his
child, both for the good of the child and
for the security of the State. In high
err sense, the State can have no legal right
to demoralize, degrade, debase, pauper-
lie and make criminals of its citizens to
their and its own detriment. If, there
fore, State has no right to do these
things of itself, it certainly has no legal
right to sell to others the privilege to do
what it may not do itself. Therefore the
State can have no right to sell to a few
making drunkards, paupers, insane and
criminals of the citizens that it is its
province to shield, protect and save from
evil and misery. Again, no one can hon
estly question for moment the fact that
the saloon traffic has most demoraliz-
ing effect on any community, both direct
ly and indirectly. Every sober man
must confess that the influence of the sa-
loon is only evil and evil continually.
Hence the traffic must be moral wrong
to the community, when all of its fruits
are immortality and crimes. Therefore,
to license a moral wrong must be itself
morally wrong. So we conclude that it
is legally and morally wrong for the
State to license the saloon traffic and thus
the State has no right to do it, to the in
jury and detriment of its citizens A.

"what fools these mortals be-"
IL Is never wise, beloved, to call man
fool to his face or to tell your friend
that such one Is fool; for he may
soon prove to you that you deserve the
title yourself. But In the lump, we may
safely call men fools.
For instance, there Is a certain class of
men who never help their fellows, simply
because In some past time they received
no thanks for helping fellow man; and
In consequence, they let the milk Of hui
man kindness sour in their bones, simply
because some individual was n surly,
cross-grained man. The other day, Il met
another man would not pay him his just
dues. He had In time past befriended
that man and helped him over hard
place in life. In his anger at his unjust
treatment, he declared that he would new
CT give aid to another human being so
long as he lived. But he was fool to
do so.
A man helps himself more than anyone
else when he does kind act. 1t broad
ems out his life; IL makes him more SYM
like. The man who does not love his
neighbor narrows his life down nearer
and nearer to the point of extreme self
love. SO, beloved, say that those who
are not helpers Of others in this life are
fools.
Then, too, there Is large class of men
who are calculating to get to Heayen on
the sins of Christians. They must be
fools, too. Suppose all the men in towa
had, once year, to jump across brook
eight feet broad. Because half of them
only jumped six feet and so went down
into the mud and got splashed would
that help you any II you could not jump
but four feet. You must jump eight feet,
whether any one else does or not. And
when In the mud, it will be small conso-
lation to see those who professed to do
more falling into the water. So In spir-
itual life. IL will not save you because q
man who processes to be better is as bad
or worse than yourself. The thing for
you to do is to be right yourself. And a
man who Is trying to get into Heaven by
any such back-door method must be fool
ish.
And then, too, there are men who are
all the time trying to make every one
else think just as they do. How foolish

Cured Through the Skill of DR. Morrow

The skill of DIR Morrow is being veri-
fled every day by remarkable cures of
people who are well known citizens of
Bridgeport. George w. Near, residing
147 Main street, has been great sufferer
for the past two years from a long rum
ming sore located on his right leg. Mr.
Near had been under treatment of one of
Bridgeport's most noted doctors for more
than year, but instead of improving he
constantly grew worse and was finally
compelled to stop work. He received
treatment from several other physicians
but could find no permanent cure. Fin
ally, on March Is last, he called on DR.
Morrow at the Bridgeport Medical Insti-
tute, 1l5 Fairfield avenue, who, after a
careful diagnosis of his case, told Mr.
Near that he could cure him, and true to
his word after less than three weeks
treatment DIR Morrow has restored him
to perfect health and Mr. Near has return
ed to work at his old place with the Ea
ton. Cole & Burnham Co. Mr. Near
would be pleased to answer all questions
by anyone who may be similarly affected.
On Sunday, 18th, DIR Morrow successful
" removed a cancer from the nose of
John Mclean, of Milford. This is the
18th cancer that the doctor has success
fully treated since October last. Office

BRIDGEPORT.

At a meeting of the Peoples steamboat
line, it was decided that the Rosedale
should be taken off the line about May l
boilers will be put in and fully $4,000
will be expended in placing the steamer
in first class shape. While the Rosedale
is on the dry dock, the steamer Block Is
land of Providence will take her place.
1t has leaked out that had the two steam
boat lines in this city been combined, the
Consolidated road would have taken pos
session of the dock now occupied by the
Peoples line.
Miss Annie Houlihan and Henry w.
Halverson were married at the Church of
the Sacred Heart, last week. They will
reside on Ann street.
Mrs Edward L. Rev died at her resi-
dence in Black Rock, last week Thurs
day. She was widow of Capt Edward
Rocks once extensive ship railways and
leaves three children, Jesse Rev of
Black Rock avenue, Mrs Beckwith of Nj
antic and Mrs Banks of North Bridge
port.
The rock which underlies the property
on Fairfield avenue, extending from Col
orado to Clinton avenues, has been blast
ed out with the help of steam drill and
force of Italians and the owner, Aaron
Sherwood, will soon put it into building
lots.
DIR Lyons says that there is little sick
ness about the city so far as his knowl-
edge extends, except in the way of ma
larial and intermittent fevers. OF these,
he has had more cases during the past
few weeks than for the same space of
time in several years. He fears an I'M
usual prevalence of malaria during the
Summer.
The six-tenement house which Peter
Lynch is building on Park avenue is
60x60 feet and will cost $4,000.
Mary j. Gordon is to build frame
building on HOLSTER avenue, East End,
at cost of 5000.
Jones &c Hoffman of East End are TO
build house on Grand street for Mrs p.
Sullivan and another on Seeley street,
West End, for William s. Kelley.
Fairfield avenue, near CORTLAND street,
is to be beautifled by handsome block
which John McCord will put up. twill
contain apartments for three families,
will be built of pressed brick, with brown
stone trimmings and will cost at least
SO, 900.
A shop for boat building is to be built
on East Main street by Mrs Moore. 1t
will be of wood, 30x40 feet and will cost
$3.50. Stone & Bronson will do the car
penter work and M. r. Leavenworth the
plumbing.
The police commissioners have passed
a resolution requiring officers to appear
In uniform, unless engaged In detective
work In murder cases and similar serious
crimes. This is regarded by some as a
hit at Chief Rylands and tip to the saloon
keepers so that they may not be caught
as easily at unlawful deeds.

STAFFORD.

Having sold many building lots on
Strawberry hill and having finished the
two new streets on which George III.
Tomlinson has been engaged, John w.
Thompson has turned his attention to
other fields and is stalking out and pre-
pairing for sale tract of about IL acres
on the south side of the Air Line road,
about half mile from the East End
horse car line on Stratford avenue. The
lots will be sold at from $50 to $500, ae-
cording to location. The slightly tract
will be known as "Sound View" and will
be opened by a street running through
il to meet new street from the south,
laid out by ID. f. HOLSTER of Bridgeport,
who cwns an extensive tract south of
Sound View. This new road of Mr. Hol-
lister will run east from Bruce avenue
and will bring Sound View next door to
the horse cars.
Stratford did itself proud on the ami
versary of the founding Of Odd Fellow
ship, Friday night, when a number of
Bridgeport and Milford friends gathered
at Stratford to-assist in a celebration.
There were 70 to 100 present and all en-
joyed a pleasant evening. The exercises,
which commenced about 46, included a
literary program anu supper, which sim
ply outdid any previous effort of the
kind. Enough, in fact, was left to feed
small army and asecond meeting was
necessary to dispose OF the surplus. The
literary exercises consisted of excellent
singing by a quartet, William l.. Wheel

A Noble Charity.

A college settlement" has been locat-
ed in one of the poorest quarters of New.
York. In May, 1889, place was rented
at 90 Rivington street, in district not
criminal, but where the people have to
struggle for the maintenance of "fairly
decent" existence. The house was thor
oughly renovated, put in good sanitary
condition and pleasantly furnished. Then
the object lesson began in the attempt to
show the greatest amount of comfort to
be obtained for the least outlay of money.
In October, the real experiment was en-
tered upon, when seven young women
took possession. They came to live on
the same basis us the other people of
that locality, hence could have no SER
wants. They afterward secured house
keeperto cook and assist in culinary man
agement, as they had employments them
selves, one being physician, ready to
write prescriptions tor five cents, anoth-
er music teacher, giving lessons at cor
respondingly reduced rates. Then they
took little girl from the district to live
with them. The first night she only re-
moved her dress and shoes on going to
bed. She was not severely rebuked, as
that would imply that she had not been
well taught by her mother, and the col
lege girls are careful not to wound the
self-respect of their neighbors, or lessen
their family respect. The child proved
initiative, and the third night hung out
hsar Il of Ia tn lnir fxa,n
months, she had so improved in neatness
and faithfulness that she was able to take
a position as housemaid in the upper part
of the city, and her place was filled by
another girl. The mothers are occupied
with shOp-wOrk, and their daughters
grow up without training. The college
women have undertaken to be on neigh
borly terms with them, and by free and
hearty association to open door for them
into larger life. No room is too fine to
receive the poorest neighbor. A woman
with II baby, driven out in the night by
IA drunken husband, was received into
their guest chamber. They have plenty
of games and entertainment for the child
rem who come, after school, on the day
allotted them, and plenty of books to lend
on library day. The cook is always
ready to give recipes for wholesome, pal
atable and economical dishes. Modelled
somewhat after Toynbee Hall, the settle,
ment does not attempt mission or char,
ity, but its residents, by being friends
and neighbors in the real Samaritan
sense, try to touch the lives of these ig
norant people at every point, and with
helpfulness in every touch. The public
baths opened in the basement, where q
hot bath was offered for five cents, die
not meet with much favor at first, but
now they are in great demand. Miss
Scudder, the literary lecturer at Welles
ley College, though busy woman, find:
time to visit them and take share in the
work. She says, ''We are happy there
and so interested in the queer studies OF
life" The young women are mostly from
comfortable, or even luxurious homes
and it has never entered into the heart OF
woman to conceive a more practicalphil
anthropy.-[Uuion Signal.

Poor Country Roads.

sSThe subject of the Improvement of
country roads is one in which the general
public is at present deeply interested.
The fact exists that our highways in the.
rural districts are, as a general rule, in
an unsatisfactory condition, many Of
them being almost impossible during
large portions of the year without great
discomfort, while but few are kept in a
proper state of repair. They are far in
ferior to those throughout England, while
the public roads in several other coun-
tries of Europe are conspicuously better
than ours. There are many things from
which this state of affairs may have ris-
en-. Whatever may be the cause, it can
not be denied that our highways are de-
teriorating and that some adequate REM
.edy should be found. It is apparent that
they are not constructed with any espec-
iai skill, little or no engineering talent
being employed and the matter of cul-
yerts, grading and drainage being over
looked. It is asserted that the present
system of allowing each freebooter to
work out his road taxes operates badly
and, being relic of old times, should be
modified essentially. There seems to be
q lack of official responsibility and COM
petent supervision. Neither commission
of highways nor pathmasters are always
selected for their especial fitness for the
discharge Of the important duties involv-
ed in the proper construction Of high
ways and in the care and suitable main
tenanoe of them. When high
ways are once properly built, the mex
pensiyeness Of their proper mainteaance
Is not generally understood. But the
principal difficulty in the past has arisen
from their originally faulty construction.

Are You a Nervous Sufferer?
Do You have These symptoms and Feelings?

Nervous affections are very prevalent in the
Spring, and are attended by restlessness and
nervousness, an anxiety or depression of the
mind, loss of interest in society and the daily
affairs OF life. There win be "a tired languid
feeling, with q sense of exhaustion, upon
waking in the morning. Persons so affected
tire easily, having little power of endurance;
there is often a bad taste i'll the mouth with
| faintness or sinking ut the stomach; there
may be loss of appetite, or it will become
| variable, and digestion may be impaired.
They gradually become nervous, restless and
| irritable, and there is often more or less loss
of sleep.
| There will be feelings of exhaustion, lassi-
tude and lack of inclination for either physi-
cal or mental exertion. There is almost
constant sense of weakness, languor and dull
| ness, often accompanied by strange and dis
agreeable sensations in the head and eyes,
| often followed by headache. The nights
| sleep, which should refresh the system and
| restore strength and vigor to the nerves and
| muscles, often leaves them in the morning
| more tired and exhausted than Oh retiri ng.
