REMEDIES FOR INTEMPERANoE.
Last OF . Series of Lectures on the
Drink Evil.

Last OF series OF Lectures on tho
Drink Evil.
Rev. NJ p. Jones, pastor of the Edge
water Congregational church, delivered
the last of series of lectures upon tenn
perance last evening. He took for his sub
ject Remedies for Intemperance," and
covered the field with a general review of
the various remedies.
He first mentioned the remedy of self
control as advocated by moderate drinkers.
and allowed that self-control was a noble
principle, but not exemplified by its adj
herents, because they themselves
frequently became hard drinkers.
Regulation of the liquor traffic
wisely applied, he thought, would
prevent the evil spreading but not effect
cure. Incubation of temperance in the
public schools was to the speakers mind
not faithfully carried out, and when given
fails to protect the future voter from fall
ing into the clutches of bossism. The pre-
disposition of boys to drink inherited
from the parents was an obstacle hard to
overcome.
Prohibition, peoples palaces, such as
have been established in Jersey City,
where reading-rooms, gymnasium, swim
ming tank, games of all kinds, including
billiards, chess, checkers, had been estab-
lished and all temperance drinks sold at 3
cents per glass, were in turn discussed both
pro and con. The speaker closed with the
following plea for Christian faith:
There is one remedy which / have purposely
refrained from mentioning until now, namely,
genuine Christian faith. This, in my estima-
ton, is far superior to all other remedies. Many
who found no relief elsewhere have been re-
deemed from the thraldom of drink by this.
John B. Cough, while he recommended all
other expedients always gave the pre-emi-
nence to the power OF Christ in the soul Christ
was, is and ever will be the King OF Reformers.
and the remedy which he alone could provide
has no equal. 1t strikes at sin, which Is the
root OF evil 1t extends to every passion, and il
opposed to every bad habit Some have strength
OF will sufficient to quit drinking forever with
out the aid of a strong religious emotion; yet
even they need the saving power OF Christ in
order to attain perfect manhood.

The Baptist Revival.

The three meetings at the Baptist
church yesterday were well attended, the
congregation at the evening service over
crowding the house. There were several
baptisms in the morning and number of
conversions in the afternoon and evening.
The sermons were excellent, presenting
the truth most wildly. Those who have
not heard Mr.. Cairns should avail them
selves of the privilege during the coming
week. The success of the meetings has in

Arrangement of the Speculative Fever
of the American People.

Rev. George II. Lee, st the Taylor Con-

from First Thes iv:7-''That We study TO
be quiet and 10 do your own business and
TO work with your own hands"
Mr.. Lee said that the text meant TO
teach one TO maintain a composure OF
faith. There was too much feverishness.
II also taught industry and for each one to
bear his share of the burdens Of organized
society, the home and the church. 1t was

MIR. Carnegie AT Homestead.

From the y. Y. sun DEM.
Mr. Andrew Carnegie's idea on the subject
of dealing with strikers are original and in
some degree scientific. We read in an edi-
torial essay in the World that there is war
at the Homestead Works, and the employers
have enlisted Pinkerton Hessians and forti-
fed their property in order that they may
pour scalding water on their discharged
workmen If an attack is made upon them
Carnegie" the World adds, "liyes in
baronial castle in Scotland, his native land"
This subtle vituperation is directed against
a man who, according to the World, should
INCREASINGLY permit dissatisfied laborers to
destroy his mills and smash his machinery.
This high toned and pnblic-spirited journal
holds that Mr.. Carnegie has committed
gross outrage in taking measures to prevent
his discharged workmen from burning down
the structures at Homestead, and wrecking
their contents, by way of protest against
being denied higher rate OF wages thanthat
which other laborers are ready and anxious
to accept.
We think that Mr.. Carnegie has adopted
none but humane and enlightened methods
for protecting his property, and for protect
ing such workmen as are anxious to ex-
change their present condition of idIeness
for one Of such occupation as the conditions
Of trade admit Of Instead Of providing
muskets and bayonets or shell and shrapnel
for the defense, Mr.. Carnegie has set up
vigorous pump and plenty Of hose and
water. He has search light on a tower, so
that no firebug can apply the torch to his
buildings in the night time; and all around
about the high fence that incloses his prop
erty he has strung barbed wire, charging the
same froma dynamo with just a sufficient
number Of volts 10 make it exceeding repul-
sive TO the touch.
For this the WOrld holds him up TO public
execraiion as a scoundrelly foreigner who
has placed his heel on the throat of Ameri-
can labor. No one will dispute the right of
laborers to organize and prosect themselves
as intelligentiy as they may but the law of
supply and demand cannot be transmitted
by artificial distractions; and so far as
American labor is concerned, we have vet to
see that American laborers ever burned or
destroyed the property Of an employer, ever
wrecked the trains on a railroad out eff en-
nifty or revenge, OF ever committed any of
those gross and heinons outrages which have
marked the constantly recurring struggle be
tween the employer and the employed. In
variably, within our observation. the rioting
and destruction have. been done by the alien
the lawless, and the criminal, and American
labor was staying at home and attending to
its own business. And if Mr.. Carnegie
doubles up any intrnders with his electrici-
ty or douses them with his hose. no sensi-
bic man win condemn him for the act, or
Willy the Independence and resolution that
enables him TO protect his property and his
rights.

If any Of our resders, who suffer
from violent palpitations, sudden at
iacks Of faintness, shooting pains in the
left breast, and occasional shortness Of
breath, should be informed by their
physicians that the valves Of the great
blood-pump Of the system don't open
and shut properly, or that it IS otherwise
in a damaged condition, We recommend
them 10 receive the information with
eauanimity. 1t may be true, but it Is
Just as likely TO be incorrect, and II Is as
well in such cases to give one's-seh the
benefit Of the doubt
People sometimes die of the doctor; In
other words, are frightened to death by
his dictum. Remembering the tales
which some eminent medicos have told
out Of school, il becomes Us to think
twice before We pin our faith On any
practitioners sleeve A well-known
physician of this city, finding himself
rather sout Of sorts" determined to
consult some Of his medical brethren on
the subject-for few physicians ike to
trust themselves with themselves He
accordingly called upon five eminent
members Of the faculty in succession,
and it is a positive fact that each one Of
them gave a different opinion as to the
nature OF his disorder, and recommended
q different mode Of treatment. 1t is his
own beliefth that they we're all wrong, and
II is quite certain that only one out Of
the five could be right.
