ACONGRESSIONAL. REPORT
On The Alcoholic LiI nor Taflic.

When Prohibition newspapers
and lecturers tell of the disastrous
effects of the liquor traffic, it is
easy for their opponents to pooh
pooh their statements, by saying
they are colored, and prcjudiced,
and exaggerated; and that the men
who make them are cranks, and
bigots, and fanatics.
Last April the Congress Of the
United States appointed a commit
tee to report upon the effects of the
liquor traffic. The committee was,
OF course, composed entirely OF
Democrat, and Republicans, and
of course this fact would preclude
the possibility of any crankS, big
ots or fanatics being on the COM
mittce. The committee reported
a. follows:
This traffic causes four fiiths OF ali
crimes committed in this country, i'm

Farmers and WageWOrkers to Pull To-
gether in New Jersey.
The Knights of Labor and the Farm
ers' Alliance Association held a secret
meeting at Trenton, n. j., recently and
formed a new organization, to be known
as 1.-THE Industrial Senate" The Or
ganization is for the purpose of secur-
ing legislation for the benefit of the
soil and the wage-workers. Every AS
sembly district in the State was repre-
scented by delegates from both the
Knights and the Alliance. Many dele
gates from the Changers Association
that were expected failed to arrive, but
letters approving the formation of the
organization were read from nearly
every Changers lodge in the State.
The new organization has appointed
a legislative committee, which will
have introduced several bills to benefit
the workingmen and farmers of the
State. Several amendments to the
Vert Ballot Reform bill were discussed.
The ballot frauds of Hudson County
were condemned, and the Weekly Pay
ment bill has already passed the House
of the Assembly, and committee was
appointed to urge the Senate to pass it.
The following officers were elected:
President, Harry A. Beckmeyer, of New
ark: vice-president, J. A. Craig, of Pat
erson; secretary and treasurer, f. w.
Merrett, of New Brunswick.

At a recent meeting of the Farmers
and Laborers' Union, of Menifee County,
KY, held at Cornwell, A. J. Ringo, J.
c. Lewis and C. F. Ringo were appoint
ed a committee to draft resolutions and
call the attention of Hon. ]. w. Will
Jams, Representative in the Kentucky
Legislature, to the fact of the tendency
of bill before said Legislature known
as the Gay bill; and that should said bill
become a law it would be very iniuri-
Gus to the Farmers and Laborers'
Union. 1t was therefore
ReSOlred, That we request the Legislature
to take such steps as will be necessary to de-
feat said bill, from the fact that said bill pro-
vides that if any corporation, partnership or
individual, or other association of persons
whatever, shall be a party to any agree
ment, confederation or understanding to
regulate or fix the price of any article of
merchandise or commodity, or to fix or limit
the amount or quantity of any article, COM
modify or merchandise to be manufactured,
mined, produced or sold in the State, shall
be deemed and adjudged guilty of a con-
spiracy to defraud, and the punishment for
said Offense shall be both a fine and i'm
prisonment.
ReSOirfd, That under such a provision of
law as the above, the Farmers and Laborers'
Union would not dare hold meeting for the
purpose of reducing the acreage of tobacco
or any other crop, they could not meet as
farmers for any purpose pertaining to the
products of their farms without being in
violation of said law.
ReSotred, That we claim, as an organization
of Farmers and LabOrers, that no more di-
rect blow could have been given to the re
cent attempts of the farmers to cooperate
in the selling of their produce than would be
dealt in the passage of the Gay bill.
ResOlred, That we further recommend that
each Farmers and Laborers' union through
out the State of Kentucky let themselves be
heard from upon this subject

PERSIAN CIVILIZATION.
False Impressions Entertertained by Ell
rOpeans and Americans.

False Impressions Entertertained by Eu-
rOpeans and Americans.
I have been much surprised to hear
even well-educated Englishmen, in re-
cent discussions on Persia, speak of the
Persian nation as if it were completely
wanting in civilization and were ages
behind Europe in manners, customs and
ideas. Such false impression of the
characteristics and social condition of
our good friends, the neighbors of our
Indian Empire, is, l think, due to ignor-
ance, and, fear, also to iusular preju-
dice. Persia has not progressed as
Europe has done, but Persian civiliza-
ton and Persian art had reached high
degree Of development when England
was covered with tangled forests and its
Inhabitants were half-clothed saVages,
whose highest skill was shown in the
slaughter of wild animals with the
rudest of weapons. Persian civilization
has not refrigerated, though Persian art
is certainly stified by the introduction
of cheap but inartistic articles from the
commercial West. In Persia a polite
etiquette is asstrictly observed as in any
country in the world, and though
in some trifles, the manners of a
Persian gentleman may appear strange
and even amXsing when observed in the
/. West, it is safe to say that nothing
which Persian gentleman would be
likely to do when mixing in Western soci-
ETY. would in any way shock the delicate
feelings of that society. In this respect
it is fortunate that the recent journey
ings of the Shah aud his suite were suf-
ficiently extended to give a practical
and widespread contradiction 10 the
numerous absurd stories which had been
current concerning the disagreeable pc
culiarities of Persian manners and Gus
toms
As regards habits of personal manli-
ness, on which Englishmen so greatly
pride themselves. 10 may astonish many
of my readers to learn that the Persians,
with considerable reason, consider them
selves far superior to any Westerns in
this respect. l will only mention, as an
: instance, that the Persian considers
that to remain sitting in small bath
and to commence and complete ablu-
tiOns in the same water is far from a
clearly habit, and it is one which is
never practiced in the heated baths
which the natives frequent with such
pleasure in Persia and which he greatly
misses when travelling in the West
