Saloon and Sabbath.

The saloon is creature of law.
Law made, and as rule law sane
toned. The rights and wise enjoy
ment of the Sabbath are secured to
Christians and society by wise law.
The law of the state as to the Sabbath
guards the higher law of the word of
God. But as citizens, the first princi-
pie of good citizenship is to be law
abiding. The Sabbath law as to sa-
looms appeals to all good citizens. On
the ground of citizenship its claims
are clear and distinct. The state law
of Wisconsin ordains that all saloons
shall be closed on the Sabbath. A
law just as binding as any other law
on the statute book. Officers of the
state take oath that they will faith
fully discharge the duties of their Of
fee, and support the state constitution.
Mark an oath in the name of Al
mighty God, to do two things, sup
port the constitution and faithfully
discharge their duty. Above all citi.
zens, it is their duty to uphold, guard,
enforce, the laws of the state. They
solemnly swear they will do it. The
law ordains that such officers shall see
that the laws are enforced. That's a
part of their duty-they have sworn to
fulfill; taken oath they will do it. If
they shall know" or be "credibly
informed of any offense having been
committed against the provisions of
any law of the state relating to the
sale of intoxicating liquors, and fail to
do their duty, provision is made to
punish by fine of S25. As guardians
of law they are paid to know" They
take oath they will know, . and not
only know" but do. Yet, all over
this state we have men who "know
and wink at saloon lawlessneSs.
Scared of saloon power. and bow the
knee to Baal. Take oath they will
obey the law, and like the goddess sa-
loon become law-breakers. Swear
they wili support" the constitution
and with the law-defying rum-sellers
Join hands to trample on the constitu-
ton. What wretched exhibition be-
fore God and man! Swear in the
name of God they will stand by law,
and straightway despise their oath by
awinking hard at law-breakers.
.'yerilyi they have their reward. =

The Brewery and the Voter.

The Quest makes the following per-
tinent remarks: ut is said that the
amount of money invested by English
syndicates in American breweries the
past year was $83 100000. In the
cities the breweries control two-thirds
of the saloons, the saloons control the
purchasable vote, and the purchasable
vote controls the elections. More
over, the cities control the State and
National elections. 1t is therefore
very clear that if this buying of our
breweries continues much longer, we
will practically be ruled by English
brewers. Every American. who is
patriotic, should vote to crush the
brewery and saloon"

1t has been figured out that since

broken 80 different treaties with the
Indians, and that it has lied to and
deceived them no less than 1000
times. This dosen't prove that this
is the most truthful government the
sun ever shone upon, but the Indian
ought to behave himself for all that.

1.-The high license system does not
seem to bring the millennium in this
city as was promised and expected by
its advocates. 1t does not seem to
bring that melliferous state of affairs
which was foretold by the prophets of
that school of philosophers who teach
that the right way to tame a tiger is
to put tether ON it long enough to
reach all the prey in sight, and yet
short enough to confine the beast near
to the public to profit by its exhibit
ton. Then they stand and shout,
Look at our tiger, is he not dandy!
We get $500 year for exhibiting him.
And just look what a strong cord
binds him; the law, the law. gentle
men," Then some fool crank wants
to know what it costs to feed the
beast and what he eats. Then they
acknowledge that he eats boys, but
boys are cheap; and sometimes he
eats whole caucus, but caucusses are
plenty. Our tiger dined on a mess of
tender boys last week and the law,
the law, gentlemen, is going to see
about it. And now people are divided
as to what to do with the tiger. One
party says kill him. The other party
says no, he is profitable to the city;
feed him boys till he is blood sick. =
