The attempt to make capital out of the
, ShOreham owned by Levi p. Morton at
Washington, because there is abuffet where
wines are kept, is largely malice. The diff
ference between bar room and the condi-
ton of affairs at the ShOreham Is that
saloon is where drunkards are made and
intoxicants sold for Just that purpose and
no other purpose. At the Shoreham there
is no liquor sold except as part of the bill OF
fare. just as potatoes and meat are sold. AT
meal time liquors are ordered and even the
most thirsty cannot obtain them otherwise.
It's matter of habit and taste concerning
the use of wine at the table, where people
may differ, but there cannot be any differ
ence as to the opinion of the intemperance
in language when dining room is called
