Prohibition and Temperance.

The constant cry of Prohibitionists is
that whoever opposes them is cham
pion Of saloons and an upholder Of in
temperance. The idea never appears
to penetrate their minds that person
can be, at one and the same time, an
opponent of prohibition and of intemp-
erance. Believing, as they do, that
there is no other adequate method of
checking intemperance than by abso-
lutely prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-
ing drinks, they naturally fall into the
error that whoever believes otherwise
is an ally of the liquor traffic. This is
a fatal mistake on the part of the pro-
hibitionists. Through it they lose the
support of many who would otherwise
cooperate with them in checking the
tide of intemperance. But, perhaps,
they do not care for the assistance of
anybody who is not ready to draw the
sword and fight the demon, Alcohol, as
SI. george O10 the dragon.
The sword of authority, however, is
not the most effective agency for the
conversions of sinners. Christ did not
employ it: Mahomet did Christian
ity's converts as consequence, repre-
sent the highest types of morality and
civilization, while the disciples of Ma
homet are comparatively ignorant, effe-
inmate, carnal and imbecile. Christ
did not implore the governmental au-
thorities of Judea to come to his assist
ance and enact laws for the repression
of vice. He went forth, meek and
humble teacher, and with the mild
voice of moral suasion attracted multi
tudes to his fold. Had any one at
tempted in his name to cast out dem
ons by means of legislative enactments,
he would have denounced them and
warned his followers to beware OF
them. This is the grand distinguish
ing characteristic of Christianity, that
it draws human souls to salvation with
magnetic influence and holds them
willing captives with bonds of love.
We lay it down as an indisputable
axiom that prohibitory measures can
not reform depraved human appetite.
The reformation must be internal in the
individual. 1t must be subjective, not
objective. Intemperance is simply a
ulcer on the social body. The
virus must be expurged by the medi-
cine of ardent Christian teaching, and
the moral constitution must be dieted
with sound principles. If radical cure
is to be effected. In word, education,
moral. mental and physical, is the only
effective remedy. Let our churches
confine their efforts to the steady dis
of virtuous Christian prin-
ciples. let our schools diligently teach
the deleterious effects on the human
system OF the immoderate use of alco-
holic drinks, both mentally and phys
ically: let all educational agencies COM
bine to impress the truth Of the maxim
that q sound mind in a sound body is
an indispensable prerequisite for every
man who desires to successfully carry
on the battle of life. and there will be
no need of Prohibition to repress drunk

theater was fiery furnace, and rs it
was apparent that tho block would be
consumed and help was called without
delay. Over dozen steamers responded
to the summons, and as it was clear
that there was no hope Of saving tho

THE BORDEN TRIAL.

Developments AT saturdays Hearing.
Lizzie Has Not CrlOI-Hew Evidence.
FALL RIVER, MASS, Aug. ga large
crowd listened to tho testimony in the
Borden murder trial yesterday. It was
developed that Miss Lizzie Borden was
near her mothers room when Mr.. Bor-
den returned home and entered it. The
family did notlive as their means would
have warranted, and eatabtes were cook
ed over time and again.
The daughters lived for tho most part
in theirroom, and their coming or going
was not noticed. Bridget Sullivan testi-,
fed that somebody was sick at the
house on Tuesday night Mrs. Borden
said that she and her husband had been
III, but she did not appearto be. When
she went down stairs Miss Lizzie said
she told her that sho heard her father
grooming while she was in tho back
ward When she came in she hoard
Miss Lizzie laugh upstairs. Since the
tragedy she never heard Miss Lizzie cry
The hearing will be resumed at 10:45
tomorrow morning. Tho defense has
been actively engaged in learning some
thing regarding Bridget sullivan's
career. The purpose Of the inquiry is
to learn how reliable her evidence Is,
also 10 learn II she would become so
much provoked that she would quarrel
seriously with Mr.. and Mrs. Borden. It
is believed hero that her character is
above reproach. A search into her
career while in this city shows that
Miss Sullivan is q very truthful woman.
Her former employers spoke very
kindly OF her. Her unshaken testi.
mony has done much to establish the
strength of the case OF the government.
II seems to be generally allowed that
tho government has strong case.
Evidence has been introduced to war
rant binding over Miss Lizzie until the
next grand jury. The hearing has by
no means ended, however, rs Professor
Wood is yet to be heard on the char
acter OF the blood spots on the clothing,
axe and other articles taken from the
Borden house. The defense now pro-
poses to call witness will show that
much Of DR.. Dolan's testimony is IN
reliable.
Ex.Medical Examiner Donnelly has
been close listener to the trial and it
is understood that he will be called as
an expert on the part OF the defense to
rcbut much OF the testimony that has
been given. The defense claims that
there are large holes in the govern
ments expert testimony and some un-
looked for denials are expected. Miss
Lizzie received her usual visitors to-day.
She read some Bible passages selected
by Rev. Mr.. Buck. The day was long
to her because she had no sewing or
anything else to take up her mind.
