LIE-CENTs.

LfE-CENTS.
A license is an authorized permit, and
many temperance people claim that an
authorized permit, a purchased right to do
evil, is a lie-bel on coed government.
They insist that under s'hieh license"
people are still liable to get high" and
that a low license fee simply gives an op-
pc itunity for every unfortunate drinker to
get low ard lower, until be lies in the
gutter. They say that the very idea of a
license to do evil, is founded on a lie for
the sake of the few cents that may be
gained.
1t is a fact that | icing and lie centious-
ness, are the almost inseparable and CON-
panion sins of drinking.
There is an a%ntagonism even in the word
license. Lie-sense. 1t is a lie against
sense, and the possession of a license can
not give the holder a moral right to be en-
gagged in the traffic.

1t appears that some of the kinds of
spurious coffee now sold to consumers are
made of unwholesome material. and are
detrimental to health. The grocers who
sell them are probably not aware of the
facts, but their customers who use them
are cheated and otherwise made to suffer.

BOROUGH ITEMS /
GLEANINGS BY THE LOCAL
CORPS OF REPORTERS.
WHAT THE SCRIBES SEE AND HEAR
Rev, Powick breaches a Temper
ance Sermon for the Benefit of
the Junior Templars of Honor
and Temperance.

Last evening the Junior Templars of
Honor attended the Methodist Episcopal
church in a body to hear sermon on the
greatest curse in the world. "Woe unto
him that giveth his neighbor drink, that
puttest thy bottle to him and makest him
drunken also," Hab. Ills. The great
Gladstone is credited with the state nent
that 1.-THE ravages of strong drink have
been greater than those of war pestilence
and famine combined" No one will
doubt that it blights and blasts rything
ittouches without conferrng a single COM
pensating blessing. It's effects are seen
upon the drinker in his shattered health
and broken morals; and in the poverty of
his home and the sufferings and inherited
taints of his children. We see some of its
effects upon society in the accidents in
sanity and crime of which it is the fruitful
source. 1t has more to do with the unrest
and poverty of the toling masses and in
the conflict between labor and capital, both
in this country and in Europe, than has the
tyranny Of capital. 1t lays its hands upon
the Congresses, Legislatures and Courts,
and often shapes our governmental policy
and controls the administration of our
laws. And in spite of ourselves, it is onlthe
increase. The production of beer last year
in our country was 100000 barrels
about half barrel for every man, woman
and child. The increase over the previous
year was 10000 barrels. We hear much
of the merits of high license, but its chief
merit is in reducing the number of saloons,
not the amount of liquor that is consumed.
Pennsylvania with its so-called high H.
cense law, consumed more beer last year
than ever before in any year of its history,
and nearly 00,G00 barrels more than the
year before. A real temperance measure is
one that reduces the amount consumed, not
merely the number of saloons. SO that
high license is demonstrated failure and
an unmitigated humbug so far as temper
ance is concerned And no better proof of
this could be had than the fact that rum
sellers are its best friends. 1t is not sur
prising that men Of the world favor such
measures, but the only consistent thing for
one to do who believes in God and in the
triumph Of right is to set his face against
any law that recognizes its right to exist,
and to demand the repeal of all our license
laws in order to dissolve the partnership Of
our government with the traffic. Take
from it the sanction Of law, for "it can never
be legaized without sin" Personally, he
favored any and every method that was
not pois ned with the permissive feature
Organize temperance societies, freely use
the pledge, apply moral suasion to the
drunkard and let prohibition be the policy
of the state.

and stopped the train.
Arner left the engine in charge of the
fireman and started up the track to the
obstr ction and, as heapproached he found
that the obstruction was the body of a
man, who was evidently stupifed by drink.
Approaching nearer the engineer heard an
ominous growl and, rs he approached a
few steps nearer he found that an ugly
looking bull dog was lying upon the
PROSTATE body.
As the engineer continued to approach
the bull dog grew more vicious in lis
demonstrations, but refused to leave the
body until Arner got quite close, when il
gave vent TO several savage growls and
made spring. The engineer turned and

The engineer tried to explain the situa.

which succeeded in keeping the train people
at distance.
All strategy to get the dog away and get
near the man failed until one of the
passengers, who recognized the man, went
to Wild Cat, patch near Raven Run, and
secured the assistance of young man who
could exercise influence over the drunk
and his faithful protector. The train was
delayed fully half an hour by the incident.

grade a serious accident was narrowly es.
capped. GouIdner received orders at Frack-
vile that he had clear track and he
started down the grade at lively speed.
He did not go far when he saw a coal train
ahead of him. The air brakes were pat on,
but, in spite Of Gouldner's efforts, his train
crashed into the rear end of the coal train.
