Statistics on the Drinking Houses Of Len
don's Poorest District.
The study of statistics is said TO
rouse the chancellor of the exchequer
to enthusiasm, and dull figures prop
erly introduced to one another have
told stirring tales. Charles Booths
figures about the poverty of St
George's-in-the-E East and the figures
lately published by the rector in his an
nual report about the public houses In
his parish ought to be brought side by
side The inhabitants of St Georges
East are among the poorest in London
Indeed, Charles Booth reckons St.
Georges to be the poorest district In
East London, containing 4s. 8 per cent
Of what he calls ''the poor" compared
with 500 per cent in Whitechapel, and
at per cent. in Bethnal Green.
There are, nevertheless, 81 public
houses to supply with drink the 11,o0o
people who occupy the rector's district
that is. one house for every 135 per.
sons On Friday evening, October 80
last year, many of the public houses
were visited, and, taking the average,
As persons were found in each house.
On Sunday, November z, n adults
were counted entering one door Of q
public house. On one evening, in the
short space of IS minutes, 81 children
were counted entering drink shops
with cans, jugs or bottles. From such
figures it would seem a moderate com
pu tation that e20o year must be an

from many sources, and there is
only one of them that / do not

and have tried my best to apollo
gize for its imperfections, but l
can't do it, and might just as well
say SO.
The paper is the "the New

"million vote plan" 1t had the
right to do this by any fair argu-
ment, if it did not see it the same
way that nearly all the balance of

The Chicago Lever also opposed
it, but did it in a fair way.
The New Era," in order to
carry its point, published, and
emphasized, the statement that
Chairman Dickie, of the National
Committee, was opposed to the
"million vote plan"
Dickie plainly denied it through
the "New York Voice." and the
New Era, instead of taking it back
like a little man, gets off a lot Of
senseless and irrelevant shenane-
gan, that | do not think will COM

Luther Benson, une OF oar Pro.
hibifiOn Workers, Gone 10
He'll Again.

We are truly sorry to fud the
following item in one of our ex-
changes:
Luther Benson, the celebrated
temperance orator: has been en-
tered as a patient at the Keely
Branch Institute. For the past
three years he has been on the
Pacific Slope, and but recently
himself and family returned to
indianapolis. Benson celebrated
his returned to Hoosier soil by a
round of dissipation, and he tried
to extenuate his conduct by claim
ing that he could no more resist
the ''tiger of strong drink" as he
describes it, "than he could fly"
Benson lectured on temperance
in Paris several years ago. He is
an able and eloquent orator, and
was listened to with profound at
tention, as he portrayed the evils
of intemperance. Benson is the
author of book which we read
with much interest, entitled eft
teen Years in He'll" While a
slave to strong drink, he describes
his condition as hell on earth,
hence the title of his book. 1t is
hoped the bichloride of gold will
cure him OF that "tiger of strong
drink" and that he will arise to
fall no Notwithstanding Citi-
zen
Blue-grass blade., 1892-02-13

vicious, degraded sentiment, and
knows himself to be a worse citi-
zen than the ghoul that robs the
grave at midnight.
The man who will murder a
man mentally, morally, and bodily,
by selling him liquor for fifteen
cents, is worse man than he who
would murder him for fifteen dol
lars on the highway; and the man
who will, in cold blood, murder
his fellow man whether with a
pistol or whisky bottle, is a worse
man than he who would steal his
body and sell it for five dollars
after the man has been murdered.
The business of the "body
snatcher" is instanced as the most
horrible and detestable of all call
ings; but the body snatcher is a
grand man and a fine citizen,
compared with any saloon-keeper
or any distiller.
The "body snatcher" really does
no harm, but does good. He does
not kill anybody, and the damage
he does is merely a violence to a
sentiment, and he hopes that even
that will not follow, and it is
necessary for the good of others
that medical students should have
these dead bodies, and he works
hard and undergoes great danger
for the pittance that he gets.
If my father had been a "body
snatcher" 1 could defend his call
ing and be proud of him, but if
he had been a distiller or a saloon
keeper there would be no excuse
that l could offer.

Rev. j. W. Hughes, of the
Methodist church, and Elder
W. j. Howe, of the Christian
church, will have religious dis
cussion at Wilmore, beginning
January 20, 1892, continuing four
days. The first question tor de-
bate is as follows: Affirmed, that
the Bible teaches that we are bap-
tised with the Holy Spirit as in
the days of the Apostles, with the
tongues of fire excepted, and that
it is possible to live in this life
without actual sin. j. w. Hughes
affirms, w. j. Howe denies. The
second question is: Affirmed, that
the Bible teaches, that the church
to which W. ]. Howe belongs is
the Christian church. w. j..
Howe affirms and j. w. Hughes
denies.
When intelligent ministers and
Christian audiences are wasting
time expounding and gulping
down such stuff, while innumer-
able non-christians are reveling in
drunken brawls, gambling dens,
jockey rings and other vile past
times, Charley Moore can't be
blamed so much, after all, for init
mating in plain terms, that all the

Some twenty years ago Elder
Charles w. Marshall was pastor
of the Christian church in Paris,
Kentucky. He was an earnest
God fearing and God serving
Christian Among his Congre-
cation and in its membership were
a number of whisky men; manu-
facturers, wholesale and retale
dealers, and still more who drank
both by whosesale and retail.
After a long and unsuccessful fight
against these men, Elder Marshall
became disheartened, and calling
the Board OF Elders and Deacons
together, said to them "Brethren /
have labored earnestly and prayer
fully against the great curse of
our beloved church and country,
and to no effect. Now unless you
will join hands and hearts with
me in the fight against whisky. l
will resign my charge"
They gave up elder Marshall,
and Elder John s. Sweeney was
chosen to succeed him, and has
held the pastorate ever since.
How have the officers that dis
missed Bro. Marshall prcspered?
What have Bro Sweeney and
the church done in the twenty
years? Well, the pastor has
Aourished like a green bay tree.
He is fond of hunting and fishing
and enjoys dram when on the
fishing sprees as well as any of the
boys. He attends the trotting
meetings, fairs etc. and has a
number of fast horses and a
private trainer for them.
Elder Sweeney has a drunken
son-in-law. He has a brother
who drinks like a fish, and a
daughter who not only publicly
gets drunk but is a common
"cbippy."
Among the officers who dis
missed Bro. Marshall was an ell
der who has one son that was a
gambler and drunkard, who
married a woman of the town, and
who was shot dead in the streets
of Paris by his wife's sister, an
other woman of the town.
The Elder has another son who
is gambler and a drunkard.
He has a son-in law who is now
serving long term in the state
penitentiary at Frankfort, for
forging notes for thousands and
thousands of dollars. This elder
has a good many enemies in his
own church. Many will leave
the church when he fills the pull
pit, or officiates at the commun-
ion table. Several years ago
during a railroad election, he
treated droves of negroes at the
saloons in the town, and last year,
