Novel Temperance Experiment.

The Hungarian Government has
started decidedly novel Temperance
experiment. 1t has obtained control of
10000 taverns throughout the country,
mostly by purchase, and the majority of
these places will be converted into pub
lie school-houses. 1t will be interest
ing to watch the effect of this move
ment. The Hungarian Government rec
ognizes the evil of an unrestricted
liquor traffic and thinks it time to call a
halt. Nearly 10000 school-houses in
the place of the same number of taverns
is certainly great transformation, and
the moral results can not fail to be
benefcent. Altogether the incident is
notable indication of the growth OF
Temperance sentiment - a sentiment
favoring a fair and rational restriction
of the liquor traffic-throughout the
world.-Troy IN. W Times

doorstep. One of them even went so
far as to ask me to pledge Mr.. Bowser to
vote for him to run one of the city hall
elevators. There were three others
waiting for him when he got home to
dinner, and saw him give them money.
He came in excited and jubilant, and
when I told him what occurred he re-
piled:
Let The dear people come! They
know that am the man to do all I can
for them if am elected, and elected
shall be as sure as the sun rises on the
day. What do you think? 1 was talk
ing with prominent man belonging to
the opposition and he said it would be
no use for his party to put up man
against me. Bowser stock is way up,
hey!"
For week lived in state of miser-
able agitation. Every hour in the day
ward heeler rang the bell, and when
he wasn't ringing, it was some man who
wanted a sewer or other contract.
Every evening the house was full of
politicians laying plans and guzzling
down my currant wine, and on three
nights Mr.. Bowser had to ego the
rounds" of the ward and ''see the boys"
On the last night had to help him up
stairs, and the tears rolled down his
cheeks as he whimpeTed:

New York Hotels.

People in New York know but little
about their own hotels. The Fifth
Avenue Hotel was built by no less dis
tinguished a parsonage than Amos Emo,
of Canada. The Windsor was built by
John T. DAILY, and after his death it
went to j. j. Belden. Curtis Judson,
who had no great sum of money on
hand, secured good backing somewhere
and built the Brevoort. 1t was named
after James Casson Brevoort, whose
agents were seemingly warm personal
friends of Judson. 1t is suspected that
the Brevoort estate furnished the money,
because they believed that one of the
best hotels n New York should be
named after their ancient and honorable
family. The Metropolitan and tho
Park Avenue hotels grew out of the
great A. T. Stewart estate. The Metro
politan was originally built by one of
the sons of Stephen Van Rensselaer,, who
sold it to Mr.. Ste wart in 1860. The
Gilsey was built by Peter Gilsey. And
so on down the list it might be seen
that every hotel in New York is an
epitome of family history.

This went on for week, and then the
caucus was held to nominate. Mr.. Bow
ser said he would go through by accla-

The DRINK BILL.
what Become of the Annual Earnings OF
1'wn NIilIlnns of Man

Two Millions of Men.
AS repeatedly shown in the columns
Of the Union Signal, the saloon is the
fottenest form of commerce. 1t takes
more and gives less than any other
method of buying and selling. 1t COL
lects an enormous tax every year, so
large that it is almost impossible to
bring it to the realization of the reader.
II we assume that the total drink bill
amounts to one thousand millions of dol
lars year, an estimate considerably
within the truth, we have in this tax
Voluntarily contributed by individuals
gross amount greater than all the ex-
penses of the State, municipal and gen.
eral governments, including our vast
expenditure for pensions. According to
the American Almanac for the present
year, the railroads of this country oper-
ated last year 1856, 9S6 miles of track;
their Indebtedness, or capitalization,
amounted to SIS, 37S, sos, 145, an aggregate
probably double the actual expense of
duplicating the roads in their right Of
way, tracks, rolling stocks, ETC., in per-
feet running order. Hence, the drink
bill of this country, upon this estimate,
would replace all these miles of track,
and this mighty accumulation of capital
in five years; or, taking the roads at
their own valuation, in eight years. The
lower estimate, however, is far within
the truth.
The total gross earnings of all the rail-
lsvscds amounted last year to 1881, 3s5, 954.

try was greater by the total earnings of
1900 me1. The exports of the country
were 1853. 954, $3.50; the imports, S72 $780,

again as either, and nearly as large as

mist like ltr. Edward Atkinson to sug-
gest that tie frying-pan is greater evil
in the Unied States, impairing more
lives and waiting more money than the

above donot support such an absurd sug'
gestion. Whether or not we can put

by drink, it is certain that the annual
