DRUNKENNESS IN AUSTRALIA
"A Queer state of Things IN an Enlight-
Nned Country.


ened Country.
There is no country in which SO high
a condition of general comfort, so
lofty a standard of proved intelligence,
and such large and varied means to
excellence exist side by
side with so much turbulence, SO lax
a commercial morality, and such over
charged statistics of drunkenness and
crimes of violence. Why should q
people which is among the best edu-
Gated in the world be also among the
least commercially sound, the rowdiest,
and the most drunken? Let there be
no mistake about the question or about
the charges which are involved in it.
Australian insolvencies are to British
as four to one. Convictions in Austria
liza are to convictions in the United
Kingdom as two to one. The figures
given by Mr.. H. H. Hayter. c. NJ. G.; gov.
eminent statist of Victoria, though ap-
parently clouded with purpose, prove
the last charge beyond the chance OF
refutation. The highest percentage of
deaths from the abuse of alcohol is re.
corded in Australia It is 113 as against
so even in Switzerland, and as against
46 in England and Wales. In the
figures given the issue is confused BY
the introduction of the statistics OF
''towns and principal towns" of some
few countries, though even there Paris
reaches no higher than 95 and London
falls to -. In Ireland the deaths from
alcoholism are only q little over a
quarter of those registered for the
Australias. The towns of Denmark
rise to the awful average of ia, but il
is evident that full statement of the
facts would reduce it greatly.-Contem.

December g.
VALPARAISO, Nov 6-The liberal
electors have chosen Admiral Jorge
Mont for president of the republic,
ratifying the conservative choice. The
Inauguration occurs December 26. It

Admiral Mont is not only ap-
proved by the entire liberal
party, but that the leading men,
bers of the other parties acquiesce in
his election, believing that it will tend
to consolidate the best interests of the

calmly discussed, and that the outcome
will be satisfactory to both nations.

g. Yard Of Roses.

One Of the popular paintings ut the New

GREAT scientists are liable to make
great mistakes. A story is told in
Electricity, newspaper devoted to
that science, of a college professor fifty
years ago, who explained to his class
the experiments of DIR. Franklin with
his kite, by which he stablished the
identity CT lightning and frictional
electricity. At the close of his lecture
he said to his class: Young men, you
were Torn to late too witness the devel-
opment of this great science" But the
science has gone on developing ever
since, and future developments will
probably be greater and more STARTLING
than any in the past.

ROYALTY in Europe shows its weak
ness by the pains it takes to punish
anyone who dares to joke about it. The
police OF Berlin are very severe on per-
sons who make pleasantries about the
kaiser's beard, and man has been ar.
rested in Dantzig for saying that crazy
King Otto is the most useful sovereign
In Europe, because he passes his time
peeling potatoes. A strong man laughs
at such harmless jests as these, but a
coward or a weakling resists them,
just as the mighty monarchs of Europe
are doing: They feel that ridicule
would soon shake their throne from
under them.
