published in its columns is contributed by the
inmates. except that properly credited. Its sup

is given a paper without cost. 1t is published in

library fund the first year. Its objects are to en-

its inner life and thus aid the Of moral adj

the wrongful enmity of the printing frater-

The idea of prohibition in the most radical
larity, and in it's stead there is growing up
strong sentiment against the practice of
indulging in alcoholic stimulents. This
sentiment is no doubt largely due to the
prohibition agitation of the subject; there
fore if the prohibitionists fail to accomplish
their purpose in the manner proposed, they
may yet have the satisfaction of discovering
that their defeat was after all a greater
moral victory than they hoped for. The
fight the prohibitionists have made as a
political power has forced the dominant
parties to make laws to regulate and restrain
the liquor traffic. This much it has accom-
plished more by force of numbers than
reason; but reason is doing it's work ALSO
The prohibitionsts have awakened the rea-
soning faculties of the whole people to Crap
pie with the subject; they have done this
by forcing the matter upon the attention of
the people by every possible means The
most eloquent speakers have pictured the
evils of the traffic; the most learned doctors
have made science their witness against
intemperance and its evil effects upon ply
Steal man; the greatest divineS have denOun-
ced the liquor traffic as the most powerful
enemy the Christian religion has on earth;
and all thinking men have borne witness
that intemperance is the curse of curses to
the human family. But with all these en-
emies it is not possible that laws can
made to prohibit the sale of intoxicants in
all the states of the Union. Nor do we
believe such law desirable. The better
way, and the way that is to win the final
victory over intemperance, is through the
education of society against the useless and
beastly practice of making the mind slave
to the depraved demands of the stomach.
Such time may never come. but until it
does come prohibition will not prohibit.

Crooked People.

There are people who can never keep
straight. Whatever they do has some
crooked elbow in it; some secret intention
different from that avowed; some covert
motive burrowing towards a private end;
something not .straightforwardiand above
board. and that when once found out puts
us forever on our guard and spoils the
pleasure of our future intercourse with
them. Sometimes this crookedness is found
chiefly in money matters; sometimes in
small coDcealments, petty intrigues, absurd
INVESTIGATIONS and unnecessary exaggera-
tons and general atmosphere of conspir-
acy and secret maneuverS; sometimes it is
due to that two faced desire of standing
we'll with everybody alike holding with
the hare and hunting with the hounds''--
which is, to say the least. incompatible
with real sincerity and true uprightness.
1t is the fatal crOOkedneSS which ruins
everything.
Here is man who would be at the head
of his community if he were to be trusted.
Everybody recognizes his ability. He has
fine social qualities, is good business man,
and a pleasant acquaintance, first class
organizer-hOw is it that people shrink
from him? Make him treasurer of fund,
and the accounts are never to be got from
him at all. or so patiently cooked" that
sympathetic friends must step in and save
him from exposure and ruin. The crooked
man has simply fulfilled the law of his be-
ing. He touched money and it stuck to his
hand; he saw, the opportunity to turn dis
honest penny, and he could no more resist
it than cat could resist cream jug, or a

moral nature, and were it but pound of
candles or bottle of wine that passed
through his hands. he would scrape the one
and water the other.
With another your purse may be safe, but
your actions and motives are not, nor are
you ever at the back of his. There is al
ways some secret twist in his mind through
which everything is run only to come out

When you accepted that invitation you did

whole thing to the winds had it been men
