A SUPREME RULER.
The Power of Drink in the Large Cities oi
the World.

The Power of Drink in the Large Cities OF
the World.
There is but one god in the lowes
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 poor old sol
der to death because he had not the
five cents to pay for glass of beer
which he had ordered. He 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 a drink Of rum.
In Chicago brute who has made
money enough selling liquor to pur-
chase a house and lot, beat and kicked
a 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 well known. If he had
murdered a police officer as brutal as
himself, instead of an innocent, unof-
erty to boast of his awful deed.
Not a week passes that some poor,
broken-down man-"bums" the arsto-
cratic barleepers call them-not a
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 Saw 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 a poor, fricndless,
defenseless being who has insulted
their dignity by begging for drink.
And worst of all, others, removed
but a 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 a state will the poison of al
cohol bring those who at one time
boosted a love of truth, who practiced
the Christian virtues, who were born
of woman and learned to lisp the name
of mother-Bauner of Gold.

ture is the way they are made. There
Is an establishments New York which
prints five Thousand novels an hour.
They have a machine consisting of two
cylinders, on each of which one hun
dred and forty-four pages may be
screwed, and as the long strip of paper
goes through first one side is printed
and then the other, making it possible
to print two hundred and lightweight
pages at every revolution. The strip
of paper, after being carried over
rcllecs which dry the ink, is cut, folded
anu brought together in the shape of a
small volume, with the edges all
trimmed. Every time the great cyl
inder goes around a novel is printed,
folded and trimmed, and five thousand
of these are turned out every hour,
while if it were necessary, seven thou
sand or eight thousand might be the
quota. The covering does not take
long, fifty being the average for min
ute. The paper costs nearly five times
as much as the printing and mounts as
high as two cents novel. The whole
cost for the mechanical construction of
these books is not more than three
cents apiece. The most laborious part
is in the writing and reading of them.
