7S6 LAFAYETTE AVENUE, Brooklyn. n.
Y, Jan. 30.-It is admitted even BY the
most unwilling testifers that there has
never been a holiday season in which there
has been go much drunkenness as the pres
enu .one New Years eve and New Years
! day IN New York and Brooklyn we're
| periods of debaucn for which words can
/ convey no adequate idea. But the liquor
saloons are multiplying, and the boys who
| this year made their first calls and went
| home "a little the worse for liquor will
doubtless be carried home next year in the
arms Of more or less intoxicated companions,
and more likely landed in the station house
/ for their fathers or mothers TO get out
| the next morning. This is good
enough for the fathers who have voted for
men IN the interest of liquor saloons, but it
is hard on the mothers. The former are
| reaplng what they have sOwn, but God help
| the latter. l know Of mothers whose sons
! started on New Years morning for their
| round Of calls, who have wished ever since
that death could have stepped in and pre-
vented their first spree. Comfort is ban
! ished aud faith is dead, and what is leftg
| Nothing but terror and the necessity for
that constant vigilance which means listen
ing and waiting, and. IN too many cases,
hiding the sons condition from the father,
who, notwithstanding his political afhlia-
| tions with the saloon, and perhaps his per-
sonal example. has no tolerance and
no sympathy with the boy dragged down
| by such means. In most cases
the mother will strain every energy to neu-
| tralize this awful outside influence. she
| will pray and entreat and watch and labor,
| but in the majority of instances she will
| fail. Wind and tide are against her and
will continue to be until woman shall be
able to do something besides weep and sup

means Of the ballot, 1.-THE man who upholds
the institutions that breed and develop vice
and crime in the children have brought
into the world, shall receive my oondemna-
ton through this piece Of paper which the
laws Of my country have placed in my
hands," we shall then see what we shall see,
| and in my opinion, based upon a large OBJ

Is the only hope for our boys.
The dear old Cathol priest OF South Brook
Ign, Father Francioli, who labOred for the
cause of temperance until The very moment
Of death, once said: This battle has got to
be fought out and brought to victory by its
chief sutferers-the women"
but they are doing all they can now,
father" his companion replied. Their in
huence is mostly for good, and the ma ority
or them are StraIning every nerve to make
home pleasant for their husbands and sons"
They are badly handicapped" said the
dear old man, "but In spite of their environ
ment they will at last accomplish the desire
of their hearts. It may have to come by
means OF the legal right to protest. for we
are sure that this protesting without the
power to make the protest Of value, is like
throwing straws against the wind"
Why thoughtful and conservative men Of
all denominations do not see this matter in
the same light is a mystery to me.

interest In the case of Edward NJ Field, son
OF Cyrus w. Field ,ssvho has ruined so many
people through his diabolical speculations,
and ask if this mans friends and acquaint-

of them believe this Spectator to
be just about crazy as was
Ferdinand Ward, who is now serving out a
long sentence in Sing Sing prison. And
most OF them also believe that if Edward
M. Field had been less eliglbly connected
and the son of poor parents there would
have been no question in regard to his mem
tai RESPONSE bihty. The most intense SYM
pathy prevails for the whole Field family,
and it is this sorrow for these innocent ones
that has developed an atmosphere of
leniency for the wrong-doer. Edward NJ.
Field may be a mailman, but if So then
Ward was mad for their methods were the

him out OF prison.
Russell Sage. having heard that the drug

time of the explosion was out Of pocket
about $40 for the necessary drugs and baud-
ages, sent for this gentleman to see il the
story WAS true. Finding that it was. he
took $40 and - gold piece from his pocket

times millionaire who had been so skill-
fully helped out of a dangerous pre-
dicafnent, would have felt certain graft
tude for this apothecary, and would not
have paid his debt in this exact and per-

other millionaires who are mean enough to
do this thing, but do not believe it, and l
am positive that the majority of COMPARE
lively poor men would feel distressed and
Inundated to be obliged TO settle such bill
in such a way.
