man energetic, or an extravagant man
economical. by forbidding tradesmen to
sell him anything. There is nothing
singular in the prohibitionist being al
ways the prophet of pessimism and ex-
aggeration. 1t is his sheet anchor, his
stock in trade. The prohibition parrot
always squawks about 1.-THE awful increase
of intemperance," while every observ-
ant man of the world knows that
our nation never was so sober as it IS
today The prohibitionist, reckless in his
perversion of facts and figures, always
takes the pessimistic view of intemper-
ance in order to justify his plea for prohi-
bition. If he would tell his hearers the
historical truth, that intemperance has
slowly and steadily decreased since the
days of Washington, and that the Amer
leans were never SO sober and chaste as
they are today, his vocation would be
gone, for the people would say: IF this
great social evil is slowly but surely relax
ing its grip, we would best leave the cause
of temperance reform to the moral suasion
and education represented by the exam
pie and pleadings of parents, precepts of
schools, the solemn warnings of doctors
and the private and public remonstrance
of the pulpit" But the prohibition
ist knows that this concession would
cut the ground from under his feet,
so, for fear of this, he continues
TO reiterate the tedious, outworn pessi-
mistic faisehood that the present genera
ton is more drunken than the past, and
that nothing can save our sons from a
drunkard's grave but prohibition.
This is the gross pessimism of the pro-
fessional prohibitionist, who never con-
cedes the great fact that by moral evolu-
ton and by the lessons of human expert
ence the world has become not "a dying
world" but living world, whose face, full
of hope for the future, never showed so
few marks OF dissolute, immoral, inhu-
man or irrelIgious life as today. Arsenic,
alcohol and opium may not be absolute
necessities of human existence, but they
are inseparable from civilization, and we
cannot abolish or extirpate them. We
can only educate men to their
PAoFSi aoc' hc yOuIStot Cullu III
American will not live to see California
uproot her vineyards or spill the wine in
her cellars. No people will ever consent
to vote back into the earth from whence it
sprang a vast industrial interest conspicu-
GUS in all civilizations since the days of
Moses. You might as well attempt the
prohibition of her wheat growing, or the
dismantling of her railroads as to vote her
vineyards out of existence.
Francis Murphy is right; temperance is
cause; prohibition is merely a method
discredited by trial and experience; so he
breaches the temperance cause, urging
total abstinence as necessary for many,
as the highest wisdom for all. and does not
divide the unity of the friends of temper
ance through moral suasion by discussing
the disputed worth of prohibition.

THE WORLDS FAIR.

Chaunccy De1ew on Monday night in
New York city made an eloquent appeal
In behalf of the Worlds fair, urging the
Empire state to appropriate $4,000 to
this object Chicago has raised Sic. 90 OfO
for the fair, an enormous contribution
for even that great public-spirted COM
munity. The New York press are unani.
nous in their report that the natural
beauty Of the site selected by Chicago for
the fair, and the architectural mag
nificence of the proposed buildings
nromise to give the country = fair
worthy of tie country's 400 years of de
velopment.
The space devoted 10 the Exposition
COMPRISES 600 acres, with frontage Of a
mile and half upon Lake Michigan. The
grounds In Philadelphia comprised only
oss acres. and those in Paris only l1S. The
buildings are to be grouped along the

and lowing between them viii be sys-
tenn of waterways or canals from loo 70 800

NO MAGAZINE GUN.

The latest reports from Europe bear
testimony to the wisdom of our chief OF
ordnance, General Flagler, in retaining for
the present the single-loader as the
weenpn of the American army. The great
FRI n statesman, Gambetta, was not a
soldier. but with instructive common sense
he objected years ago to the use of repeat
ing and quick-fring rifles in the French
army. The autumn maneuvers of the
Austrian and German armies have demon
strated the soundness of Gambetta's argu-
ments on the subject. According to the
official reports the troops exhausted their
stock OF ammunition within the first ten
minutes after going into action -
this, too, Notwithstanding the fact
that they now carry almost
double their former number of cart
ridges. They were practically placed hors
de combat and rendered defenseless at the
commencement of the battle
Another disadvantage of the new rifles
appears to have been found in the heating
of the barrels caused by the rapid firing.
Even with the old chassepot in the war of
1870, the French troops were frequently
forced to suspend their fire in the middle
Of an action in order TO allow time for their
barrels to cool of.
board of military experts, headed by
General Kautz, commander of the DEPART
ment of the Columbia, have conducted
during the present year an elaborate series
of tests with all the smokeless powders
and magazine guns submitted to them for
trial. Among these were several rides and
powders of worldwide celebrity and of
actual use IN various foreign services. Yet
none OF the guns was found by the board
good enough TO replace the single-loader
for our troops.
General Flagler holds out the hope that
We may adopt before long new single
loader of reduced calibre. 4 sample
Springfield ride of 80 bore has been tried
and this is TO be the calihre of the future.
with or without magazine attachment.
General Fiagler believes that III the adop-
ton of magazine arm is deferred. the de-
partment may al an early date commence
10 furnish to the army reduced calibre
arms and ammunition charged with a
satisfactory smokeless powder, ~.
General Flagler is ready to adopt a good
magazine gun. but holds that none of
those adopted by European countries is
worthy Of our adoption. In case We went
TO war with Chile our troops would have
chance TO prove the question of the
superiority of our 'single-loader, as the
Chilean army uses the Mannichler, the
magazine gun Of Germany and Austria.

The minor structures viii include var
ious state buildings and the foreign gov
eminent buildings. Il is estimated that
the expenditures by the commission upon
the buildings and grounds will reach about
100000, and that the total expense of
constructing, organizing and running the
exposition will be at least SIS, 600, 900.
The nations of the Old World, il is esti-
mated, viii expend grand total of $lO-
10000 on Their displays; Central and South
America and Canada will expend several
millions; the various states and territories
will expend at least 100000. so that the
grand total expended upon the fair at the
time OF its opening will be nearly SO, 000.-
600. or more than double the OUTLAY for the
same purpose in Philadelphia in 1876, ana
more than three times that at Paris in 1889.
At the southern end of the site pier
l,200 feet in length will be built out into
Lake Michigan. at which passenger steam
ers can land, and at a point directly back
OF this, on the inland side of the site, rail-
way tracks will terminate, bringing visit
ors over all the great railway lines Of the
country.
The effort on the part of certain persons
to close the fair on Sunday would seem
to be both unwise and unnecessary. The
metropolitan museum Of art in New York
city has been open to the public on Sun
days since May last, and there has not yet
been any misconduct there amongst null
titudes of Sunday visitors. There is no
misconduct III Central park, which is open
on Sundays; there is none in the Boston
Athen@um, open on Sundays; there is
none among the thousands of visitors that
go to Lake Washington in Seattle on Sun
day during the summer season. Our gov
eminent is not a church and state govern
ment, and it is absurd to compel visitors
from all parts Of the world to observe a
sectarian, unscriptural Sabbath in addition
TO their own Sabbath observed on another
day. Our fair is not an ecclesiastical, Sec
tarlan or even an American fair, but a
Worlds fair, open to Adventists, Jews,
Mohammedans and millions of non-sec-
tartan folk here and abroad.

GOLD AND SILVER.

Inc total annual gold product Of this
country is s33,0OO,0Oo, and our consump-
ZION OF gold in the arts is SIS, 000, 600, leav-
ing US an annual surplus of SIS 1000, 900 as
an addition to our circulating medium.
our total annual production of silver at
coming value is SIC, 900, 900, and the annual
consumption of it in the arts 5000, 900,
leaving surplus of SCI, 900, 600. The Sec
rotary OF the treasury makes the worlds
Total annual product of gold to be SIG, 009,-
wv, and that of silver, at our coming rates,
$l66,677,O00 Allowing everywhere the
same proportion of consumption in the
arts which prevails in this country, the
worlds annual surplus production of gold
should be less than $53, 000, 600 while that
OF silver should be a little over $1i2, 900, 900.
WIZ some advocate OF free silver coinage
explain how with this enormous dispropor-
ton OF supply the official coming value of
the two metals can be restored in the bull
lion market by free coinage of silver?
We shall be lucky under the circum-
stances if further depreciation of silver is
averted. The present steady increase of
our currency, the secretary of the treasury
fairly says, ought to satisfy those who de-
mand new and extraordinary measures
FOR its augmentation. He shows by statistics
that our total circulating medium, which
on July was 81 ,497, 40, 707, or S23.41 for
each individual of our population, had
risen on December / to S1,577, 262, 070, or
-S24.3s per head.
The operation OF the act of July IA,
1880, gives US S4,500,000 per month of
fresh paper currency, TO which must be
added the surplus product of our gold
mines. over and above the quantity con-
sumed in the arts, which is $l5,00o,000 an
