THE IMPROVEMENT OF HORSES
The sooner the farmers in the Ini'oo
States realize the fact that the ordi-
nary and commonly bred horse is like
" to deteriorate in value year by year,
the better it will be for them; The
use of cables to drag street cars mas al,
ready reduced the service performed
Inv horses in the cities, and the extern
sion of the trolley system IN Inc
suburbs and the perfection OF electilc
motors will relieve many other ttou-
sands of horses from such service. 1t
has not been so very long since nearly
ali the threshing was done by horses
now only a very small percentage OF
even the threshing machines are work.
ed By horsepower. Practically all OF
the ploughing is now done by horses;
but cheap and practical steam ,picuSh
will be shown to visitors tothe Norld Is
Fair. and it is not improbable that IN
ten wears from now quite large per-
centaee of ploughing will be done
without the aid of horses. The need
in the cities and on the farms for fewer
horscs VII tend more and more to re-
duce their market value. Commonly
bred her es will be the fist to deterio,
rate in price; indeed, it is doubtful
whether finely bred horses will suffer
ut all There is no reason why they
should. The purposes for which they
are used will not be affected by any IN,
yentions revolutionizing methods OF
transportation or tillage. Even th0usn
we could fly in the air with a balloon
entirely under control, spin on the
road behind pair of trotters or gal
lop across country would give just as
much pleasure as ever 1t gave ne
horses who get the blue ribbons IN the
horse shows will continue to be as val
liable as ever, while humber animals
those that drag street cars and ploushs
will be less valuable year by year

ALCOHOL A GOD.
The Power of Drink in the Large Cities of
the World.

tne "oTlu
There is but one god in the lower
quarters of any city to-day. and that is
alcohol His word is law, his mandate
is supreme.
A few days ago an Italian saloon
keeper in Denver beat a poor old sol
dier to death because he had not the
five cents to pay for glass of beer
which he had ordered. lie had no
right to buy what he could not pay for!
Ask any man who has once been under
the spell of inebriety, what he would
at times have risked for drink of rum.
In Chicago brute who has made
money enough selling liquor to pur-
chase house and lot, beat and kicked
child to death because he presumed
to play in the street before his door.
And up to this time the murderer of that
little boy has not been arrested. They
can not find him? The dastardly crime
was committed in broad daylight, and
the doer of it is we'll known. If he had
murdered police officer as brutal as
himself, instead of an innocent, unof-
Tending child, he would now be at lib
erty to boast of his awful deed.
Not week passes that some poor,
broken-down man-"bums' the aristo-
cratic barkeepers call them-not
week goes by that some one of these
poor creatures is not beaten into insen-
sibility or murdered outright by the
men whose business it is to make re-
spectacle men drunkards Say what
you please, the selling of liquors, as
carried on in our country at least, is
brutalizing.
Men in the more disreputable resorts
become so familiar with crime that life
is cheap in their sight, and it is rare
sport to knock about poor, friendless,
defenseless being who has insulted
their dignity by begging for drink.
And worst of all, others, removed
but step in the downward road from
the victim himself will stand by and
applaud the brute's blows. And why?
Is he not god? Has he not in those
black bottles behind the bar the liquid
for which they would sacrifice every
thing but life itself?
To such state will the poison of al
cohol bring those who at one time
boasted love of truth, who practiced
the Christian virtues, who were born
of woman and learned to lisp the name
of mother.-Banner of Gold.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-12-19
CAUSED BY DRINK.
The Bottom of the Trouble I'm the British
Parliament.

The Bottom of the Trouble I'm the British
Parliament.
For the first time in many years the
British house of commons was recently
disgraced by actual fighting between
some of its more exciteable and in
tensely partisan members Our own
national house of representatives has
occasionally been turned into beer
garden" with loss of dignity and de-
corum, but never to engage in a hand
to-hand fight. The opponents of Mr..
Gladstone throughout the home rule
discussion have shown great bit.
terness of feeling, and, as the
home rule bill at a late hour final
ly neared and was about to pass it's
most critical stage in the house, the
disgraceful encounter occurred. The
League Journal, referring to it, says:
"Mr. w. S. Caine gives the most intel
ligent explanation of the disgraceful
scenes in the house of commons the
other night. He says: 1T was all the
liquor. If it had been at five o'clock
there would have been no row at all;
but a pint of wine makes deal of
noise This is just what we expected.
Not absolutely drunk, but excited with
liquor, and consequently not quite
sane. An explanation not very credit
able to those concerned" So often
drink is the inspirer of disorder, scam
dal and crime.s-National Temperance
Advocate.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-12-19
SOUTH CARoLINA'S LIQUOR Law.
1t Has Resulted in Less Work for the Po.
lice and Reduced Drinking

~
lice and Reduced Drinking.
1t is too early to determine whether
the new measure as moral agent is a
success, says correspondent. Friends
of the governor are positive that it has
worked great improvement in the
morals of others. People are awaiting
developments before deciding. 1t was
put into operation at Greenville only
about six weeks ago. Seventeen sa-
looms were closed at once. Most of
the proprietors fingered around for
while in the hope that the law would
be declared constitutional, but they
soon began to drop off to other states,
one by one, their barkeepers going
with them. With the closing of the
saloons came a decrease in the la
bors of the police. Fewer arrests
were made in July than have
been recorded in the corresponding
period for several years, and the city
clerk does not remember any other
month when there was only one case
of drunkenness before the mayor. The
total amount of fines during the month
was $40, against S15s. ~ for July, 1892,
and before the mayor, who tries all
such cases, there were eighty-seyen
such persons charged with disorderly
conduct in the latter period, as COM
pared with thirty in the month just
gone by. The police report less trouble
with the Negroes who, however tracta-
bic when sober, are often violent and
unmanageable when intoxicated. 1t
is also stated that a large number of
habitual drinkers, especially young
men, seem to have dropped the habit
to great extent. There are now no
lounging places for the boys who ''gO
downtown" at night, except in the
drug stores, where the sale of a few
glasses of soda water is not profita BILE
enough to make the proprietors en-
courage these visits
The women-4kvhite and black alike
have welcomed the law as a most
wholesome measure, in spite of the fact
that many men argue that there is as
much opportunity to drink now as be-
fore. Any wife, mother or sister, any
near relative may go to the dispensary
and ask that certain man be refused
when he applies for liquor, and he can
not thenceforth get it. The dispenser
is personally acquainted with nearly
every man in the county, and where he
suspects one person of purchasing for
another he requires an oath from him
that it will not be consumed by others
than his own family.-N. Y. Post
