We ton that the Penetentiary lease system
should be abolished, and system adopted

subject.
We declare for free and lair elections, re-

modified Australian ballot law, enacted by
the last Democratic Legislature, a fair and
full trial in the interest of good government,
We Indignantly hurl back upon the Re

tro,led by intimidation and traud and we
denounce it as the old cry OF "Stop Thief"
by which the ambitious demagogues, repu-
dated bosses and favored classes OF that
party seek to divert attention from their
own misdeeds and to continue with mpuni-
ty both to intimidate their own employees
and to debauch the ballot by the corrupt
use of money.
We believe that the power and Official
patronage conferred by the people on the
National Administration, should be used in
the interest of the whole people, and no

fetal patronage so fagrantly and disgusting

the earnest and honest endeaYOr to enforce

DR.. NoETHNAGLE of Berlin, a distin-
guished scientist, has said that camphor
and brandy, as prescribed by physi-
clan, and in certain cases injected beneath
the skin, constitute the proper cure for
la grippe. That was the last voice from
Germany. 1t was to be expected that
America would trump that play, and here
we have DIR. Kelly, who has been so sue
cessful in curing drunkenness, announc-
ing from his institute at Dwight, that
asaf9tida is very nearly specific for the
disease: certainly it has the virtue of being
harmless. He declares that if one is
given four-grain pill of asafoetida, four
times day, the grip will be knocked cut
speedily. We are glad that America
improves upon Germany in this matter.
For asafoetida is infinitely preferable to
camphor and brandy. The trouble is.
that the latter remedy people would be
likely to prescribe themselves, and the
doctors would be superseded by the sa-
looms. But asafoetida no one will take as
a beverage or seek excuses for visiting it
upon the stomach. By all odds DIR. Kelly
is on top in this remedy contention. The
country is now prepared to hear from the

WHAT TT IS DOING

tian Association in This City.

me Work Of the Young Mems Chris
t1an Association in This City.
The Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton of this city very quietly, modestly
and without blowing ftrumpets is doing
good work. Its rooms on Sixth street,
between K and L, any evening will be
found well filed with those to whom the
comfort and appointments Of the apart
ments are blessing.
There they find an excellent, new and
complete gymnasium and bathrooms, a
reading-room with newspapers and mag
zines in plenty, and writing appliances;
parlor where social and religious meet
lngs are held, and Secretary ready to
hear and counsel with any one, and to
render those willing to help themselves,
and who are sober and manly, advice and
assistance in securing employment and
obtaining necesSaries of life where mis-
fortune has fallen upon the seeker.
The association needs about $500 more
than 1T has subscribed TO complete the
amount for the support of the institution
to October 81, 1892, and the belief is enter
tanned that the new subscriptions will be
secured the present month and thus
justify the work going on as in the past.
Secretary Speares reports, as a sample
OF what the association is doing, that
from October lSt to December 3lSt thr-
teen young mems meetings were held,
with total attendance Of LIS. The
workers training class held twelve
meetings, with an attendance of 123; total
or an average of 1925. One bows meet
ing was held, with sixty-four present;
one social purity meeting, with 200 pres
ent; one week Of prayer, with sixtyfour
present. Two socials were held, with
total attendance of $50.
In the physical department in that
quarter the senior class met II times with
an average attendance of %; intermedi-
ate class IL, with an average of 8; leaders,
class D, with an average of 6; business
mems class IL, with an average of II; jun
lor's class 10, with an average attendance
of 10; lii baths were furnished in the
quarter in this department.
In the three months the attendance at
the rooms was 1884, or an average OF
lOl.Ol. Letters written by young men in
the rooms 564; letters received at the
rooms for young men 527. Applicants
directed to proper boarding places and
rooms 10; employment secured for 8;
otherwise assisted q; committee meet
Ings II; directors meetings 5; new men,
Ders received 76; renewals 81; juniors 10.

1901, % II. Requests Tor prayers made
by young men -; professed conversions
II; united with churches 4.
The association has the assistance of a
Woman's Auxiliary Society that proves
OF great usefulness. The association
subsists upon membership fees and an
nual subscriptions, and if the latter at all
fail the work is crippled; in fact they
ought to be very much larger to enable
the Secretary to enlarge the work and to
do more than can now be accomplished
in the Legitimate sphere Of the society.

THE NORWEGIAN SYSTEM.

The Earl of Meath, writing in the Nine
tenth Century of his visit to Norway,
where he made some extended inquiries
into the civilization Of that country, says
that he was struck forcibly by the marked
diminution of drunkenness. as compared
with what he saw there few years
earlier.
The industry and thrift Of the people
were apparent to the eye of the most in
different observer. One sees no idlers
there; everyone is at work; there are no
men or women in rags, no drunkenness,
no brawlers, no beggars. By legislation
from 1866 to 1871 nearly all public drink
ing houses have been abolished in rural
districts, and their number greatly di-
unfinished and put under severe regula-
ton in the towns.
In Bergen, with population Of 10000,
he found that but fourteen drinking
houses are licensed, and these are under
the strictest regulation. The owners of
these houses maintain or aid in mainte-
mace of the wonderfully engineered"
city drive upon the nights, the public
gardens and other city institutions and
asylums, as the price of the privilege
they enjoy. The fourteen houses are run
by a society, which owes its existence to
local option granting to it the monopoly
for the sale of liquors. Twenty years
experience under the Norwegian system,
he says, has demonstrated its wisdom,
and that the fears at first entertained from
this grant of monopoly were all imagi-
nary.
In Gothenburg, Sweden, much the
same system Obtains-granting the priv
ilege to society under regulation limit
ing the number of houses, prescribing
their rules of conduct, fixing their sites
and fixing also the margin Of profit at
which sales may be made for the associa-
ton benefit. All the managers of the
houses must work for a salary and can
have no interest in the sales. All profits
to the society in excess of 5 per cent. go
to the municipality. But this proved an
obvious evil, and, the Norwegians per-
ceiving it. rejected it from their system
and adopted the plan of requiring the sur
plus above per cent. to be distributed
among charities and in maintaining pub
lie works for enjoyment by the people.
All this is very interesting information,
and goes to prove the value of perfect
system of regulation. 1t may prove of
such interest as to gain the attention of
philanthropists and reformers in other
countries, and lead to adoption in some
form of improved systems of regulation
in English-speaking nations.

By ALL means let woman have all
credit due her. In the honors about to
be paid to the memory of Christopher
Columbus, attention has been called to
the fact that there is complete forget
fulness of Mrs. Christopher Columbus.
Who knows but what the great discoverer
owes most of his fame to his devoted
wife? Who shall say that she did not
encourage him by her womanly persfs-
tency, and that when his heart failed him
she did not renew his hopes and push him
on to reawakened resolutions? She
was a Miss Palestello, of Lisbon. Her
father, great navigator for those days,
left her valuable collection of charts
and maps and important memoranda of
navigation, accomplished and elaborate
journals of his voyaging. From her girl
hood she took deep interest in all sea-
graphical student. She was an educated
woman, of many accomplishments, and
acknowledged a brilliant person. She
made many voyages with her father, and
was accustomed to execute drawings for
his use. not few OF which it is known
her husband used. Columbus could not
have been husband to such woman and
not have been greatly influenced by her
spirit. 1t is, therefore, fitting that in the
coming Columbian celebration the wo-
men of America having been accorded a
share in it, they should give some promi-
nence to the memory of the devoted wife
of Christopher Columbus.
