The Licensed Saloon.
BY REV. ]. E. WALKER.


We strive over tariff aud ballot,
We legislate tome upon tome;
We build up strong forts and steel navies,
But leave undefended the home.
We boast of our freedom and progress,
While rumsellers mock at the boon;
And deal us out slavery, and rule us,
Enthroned in the licensed saloon.
What makes rs so brutal in dealing
With Chinaman, Red man and Black;
And what gives corruption such power
To put the whole nation a-rack?
What is it robs labor of plenty,
And tempts it to sing mad tune?
Hells triad OF drink, lust nd luere
All shrined in the licensed saloon.
A cottage erst rich in home treasures,
Stands cherries and bare in its gloom:
The drink demon, styled good creature,
Has entered to curse and consume.
And tragedy stalks after revel--
Why turned not to blood the white moon,
When tipsy roughs brought home father,
Shot dead in the licensed saloonl
Awoman more helpless than Rachel
Is mourning, too stricken for tears;
Crushed down under shame heaped on sorrow
To suffer, and suffer for years
What fruit this of youths joyous bridal
Black night has come down at high noon,
Bereaved one by one of her children,
All slain by the licensed saloon.
wan little face white with terror,
Eyes fixed in frenzy of fright
strong men, what shame to bring on her
The woe of that horrible sight,
When mother, and sweet baby brother
Lay bleeding in deaths awful swoon,
Struck down by drink-maddened father
Just home from the licensed saloon.
What! are we more sordid than Judas;
And have We no pity or shane2
o stain and repIoach of our manhood,
Foul blot on our fair banners flannel
Most horrible sin of our people,
Why can't we be rid of it sooni
This sum of all crimes, thing accused
This Satan, the licensed saloon.
Christ, once the crucifed victim,
Now throned at the right hand Of God,
To win by thy love the rebelhous,
Or shatter with stern iron rod,
IT'S ours not to question our Savior,
Nor judgment nor power impugn;
But give US the power, we pray thee,
To root out the licensed saloon.

The January calendar of thesupreme
court of Wisconsin will comprise a
case to test the constitutionahty of
the infamous legislative apportion-
ment made by the last Democratic
legislature of Wisconsin. 1t is poll
teal robbery so outrageous that the
best lawyers i'll the state feel sure
that if the question can be brought
directly before our supreme court the
act will be knocked into flinders and
smithereens. Ex-Att0rney q eneral
Estabrook, the district attorneys of
Adams and st. Croix counties and ex-
Senator John G. Spooner are already
announced among the lawyers who
will take part in this memorable con-
troveTsy before the supreme court.
If the decision is adverse to the Villas
Peck conspirators it will require but
little effort to submerge the Demo
cratic party of this state for the next
twenty years.-Erening Wisconsin.

PROPERTIES OF ALUMINIUM.

1t Is One-Seyenth the Weight of Gold and
Doesn't Rust.
To the laymen few statistics about
aluminium may be instructive. The
atomic weight is 27.4. With iron three
or four pounds of aluminium to the ton
reduces the melting point to such a
liquid state that it can be run into the
finest interstices of the mold and pro-
duce the finest castings and consider
ably improve the quality of the iron.
With copper aluminium very easily
amalgamates, improving the quality,
appearance and strength, and resembles
gold. Useful results are obtained with
about five per cent. Aluminium also
amalgamates with many other metals
and this is boundless track for expert
ments.
Aluminium is sonorous, and doubtless
when alloyed with other metals would
produced from the finest bell metal.
It's lightness in this respect would be of
advantage for high elevations. The
specific gravity of the metal is 2.55. It
is about one-seventh the weight of gold,
about one-ffth the weight of lead. and,
roughly speaking, about one-third the
weight of copper, zinc or iron. The
melting point of aluminium is about
1,5oo degrees Fahrenheit, while that
of iron is almost double the tempera-
ture.
The electrical conductivity is stated
to be eight times that of iron. It's
elasticity may be taken to be equal to
silver. 1t is non-soluble in sulphuric
acid. which acid, produced from coal
combustion. is SO destructible to iron,
zine and marble. 1t can be beaten into
plates as thin as tissue paper and drawn
out into wire as attenuated as the finest
silk 1t does not oxidize like iron, con-
sequently does not rust, and requires
no pains or protection from the inf1u-
ence of the atmosphere.-Irona and Steel
