A Public Enemy.

The waste of labor, time and money
involved in liquor Is an argument
which appeals To- men who are not
moved by arguments of the usual sort,
and too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon it. II is the logic of the
pocketbook. and that to most men is
the strongest kind of logic. Let 1t be
proved, as 1t can be, that liquor heaps
tax upon the people hundredfold
more in amount tnan IL returns; that
1t swallows up more wages and more
wage producing energies than all other
vices and indulgences put together,
and you have an argument which car
ries conviction with il to the minds of
many who cannot otherwise be con-
vinced. Aside from all moral con-
sideration it can easily be demonstrated
that liquor is deadly blight upon
any community. 1t is impossible to
think of Il happy, prosperous, orderly
and thrifty community where grog
shops crowd the streets. We have in
mind now village of 5000 inhabit-
ants in the suburbs of New York,
where there are upwards OF sixty drink
shops of various kinds-licensed and
unlicensed-a number larger than
all the bakeries, grocery stores.
meat markets, shoe stores and
dry goods stores in the same
illage put together. 1t does not
need argument to prove that this
number of drink shops must be greatly
in excess of any possible legitimate
want that there must be a great out
lay here for drink for which no ade-
quate returns of any kind are made.
Granting, for the sake of argument,
that some of these places quench an
honest thirst; that the beverages sold
are wholesome, surely no reason APP
pears why men should spend more stuff
to pour down their tn! oats than they
spend for food, clothes and all other
creature needs combined. 1t will oc-
casion no surprise to learn that in this
same village where such large pro-
portion of saloons are maintained muir
ders and other violent crimes are of
frequent occurrences; that the Sabbath
is set at naught; that dishonesty and
corruption are freely charged against
the local government: that the streets
abound with Migrants and loafers, and
that large element of the population
are in chronic state of misery and
pauperism. These things follow the
presence of the rum as naturally and
inevitably as night follows day. 1t is
so everywhere. Christ an at Work.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs Of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.

Making Laws.

considering the number of laws en-
acted by each successive Congress IL
might be imagined that the process
was simple, whereas il is long and
rather complex. TO introduce bill is
the work OF a few minutes, and then
II is referred to committee. From
the committee 1t Is reported to the
House, let us say, and is debated. If
1t is passed, it goes to the Senate. and
through a similar ordeal After bill
has run the gauntlet of the two houses.
1t is publicly signed by each presiding
oi1cer and taken to the President for
his approval. He has ten DAYS, not in
Gliding Sundays, in which to examine
the bill and make up his mind. III
nothing is heard from him by the end
OF that period the bill becomes law
without his signature. Should he dis
approve or veto bill, he sends it back
to that branch of Congress in which it
originated, stating his reasons in OPP
position, and then the meae are Is again
referred to a committee and undergoes
much the same experience as it did at
first, with this important difference,
that 1t must be voted for by at least
two-thfrds of the members of each
house in order to overcome the objec-
tons OF the chief magistrate. Only
very strong public sentiment will de-
velop sufficient votes to override the
Presidents veto, and this right gives
him almost equal power in legislation
with Congress. Should the President
decline to sign bill, and Congress ad.
journ before the expiration of the ten.
day period, il receives what is popu
larly known as "pocket veto After
bill has been approved by the Presi
dent, the Department of State causes
it to be printed and promulgated. Not
the slightest variation is made in print
ing the new law; even mistakes in the
spelling aud punctuation are carefully
copied. Many people would think this
| a foolish practice, but it is very wise
practice, after all, for were the Secre-
tary of State given permission to re-
wise the language of bill, he might
make changes in wording and pun,tu-
alton that would completely overturn
the intentions of Congress when the
bill was enacted. Millions of dollars
| are involved, and grave constitutional
questions arise on the insertion or
| omission of even comma.

Fail Transpianting OF Fruit Trees.

l have lost n good many peach trees
as the result, As l am now convinced. of
moving them from the nursery and trans
planting them in the fall-at least cannot
give any other reason for 1t. With most
varieties of the apple the fall Is as good a
time as the spring. and on some accounts
is to be preferred. Because we may have
more time to spare for this work In the fall
should not govern us in the matter, and
when it is said we may plant fruit trees
either in the fall or spring as 1t will be
most convenient IL won't do to apply the
rule to all kinds. The peach is native of
a warm climate and that fact should he

trees where they are to stand and bear
fruit. The removal of any tree from the
place where it first took root will OF neces-
sity give 1t at least temporary setback,
and when trees Of naturally tender
species, like the peach, are taken up and
transpIanted 1t should be done under the
most favorable conditions possible for
overcoming the check they will receive and

Proverbs NIisauOted.

It is a peculiar faculty of human
memory to misquote proverbs and
poetry, and almost invariably to place
the credit where it does not belong.
Nine men out of ten think that
The Lord tempers the wind to the
shorn lamb" is from the Bible, whereas
Lawrence Sterne is the author.
Pouring oil upon the troubled
waters" is also ascribed to the sacred
volume, whereas it is not there, in fact
no one knows its origin.
Again we hear the people say:
THE proof of the pudding is in chew
ing the string" This is arrant non
sense, as the proverb says:
The proof of the pudding is in the
eating thereof, and not in chewing
the string"
Nothing is more common than to
hear:
"a man convinced against his will
l. of the same opinion still.
This is an impossible condition of
the mind, for no one can be convinced
of an opinion and at the same time
hold an opposite one. What Butler
wrote was eminently sensible:
He that complies against his will
Is of his own opinion still. >"
famous passage of Scripture is
often misquoted thus: ale that is
without sin among YOU, let him east
the first stone" 1t should be: Let
him first cast stone.
Sometimes we are told: behold
how great little matter kindleth, .
whereas St James said: "Behold how
great matter a little fire kindleth. =
which is quite a different thing.
We also hear that IA miss is as good
as mile" which is not as sensible or
Torcible as the true proyerb: "A miss
OF an inch is as good as mile. FIX

never given better example of these aualif-

nament. as both the men, Messrs. Durkee and

With the failure Of last year staring them in
the face there were not many Of the Washing

Finally young Grant Howe and Harry Nickel.
din, both residents Of Capitol Hill by the way,
summoned up enough courage to confront the
redoubtable New York opponents of the art Of
sending and receiving the Morse electric alpha
bet. Mr.. Howe entered the typewriter re-
ceiving class. This embraced the Phillips
code and is the very acme of the mystic
sounder' 8 work. At the ordinary rate Of writing
the words out in full u speed OF forty-eight or
nifty words = minute is something remarkable
By using the Phillips code on the same line Of
work speed OF eighty words or more can be
attained. From this it can be seen tho gigan-
tic task that confronted Mr.. Howe
When the prizes for this class had been de-
cided upon it was found that c. l.. HAYES Of
Chicago. an employe OF the United Press had
taken first and that II. b. Logan of New York
and Grant P. Howe OF Washington should
divide the second prize
Grant Preston Howe came to this city from
New York in 1877. being at the time thirteen
years old. 1t was only few years later when
he took up the study of cleo tricity as exem-
plified in the Morse alphabet, and from the
very first he has shown a remarkable adapta-
bility for the work. He soon found employ
ment with the Western Union Telegraph Com

and believing he would develop into u first
class operator if the opportunity was afforded
him. Mr.. p. v. DeGraw, general southern man.
ager Of the United Press, took him in under
his wing. ard later developments demons rated
the soundness of this belief. Mr. Howe is now
nineteen years old and was the youngest
operator that entered the lists Of last
Saturdays tournament. He holds one
OF the most responsible positions in
the United Press telegraph service in
Washington working the No. / or "git" wire
running direct to New York. Considerable
coding is done on this wire and, for this rea-
son 1t is very difficult to work. He is one of the
most expert operators in the profession and his
knowledge OF the Phillips code is something re-
markable. Howe has everything in his favor
In youth and good heslth-and at the next
tournament his mentor. Mr.. Ernest W. Emery,
the day chief in the United Press Office in this
city. claims that he will be able to leave last
Saturdays record away in the rear and hustle

Chicago for first place.

in writing up the trial Of speed with the key and
keyboard and describing the contestants. As a
result the tournament was a success both finan-
cially and artistically. the large hall being
crowded to the doors with interested hearers
and sightseers and the contestants making ex-
ceptional fast time. The Telegraphers' Mutual
Relief Association stood sponsor for the affair
and upon this worthy band of big-hearted teeg-
raphers the crown OF success gracefully rests.
Ielegraphers were present from all parts of
the country. California and Oregon contrib
Chicago and Washington sent several men as
delegates and one or two to enter the lists. All
the other eastern cities had delegations present.
Two most commendable objects were had in
view when the tournament originally
preached by t. NJ. X. A.. the first being the
discovery OF the most expert photographers in
the business and ascertaining exactly what they
could do a wire so far as work was con-
cerned. both as to sending with the KEY and re-
ceiving on the typewriter. The second object
was the raising of fund for the endowment Of
bed for worthy telegraphers in some hospital
As before stated the association succeeded no.
bly, in both cases.
THE TOURNAMENT OF 1890.
In 1890 tournament was held in New York.
but wasn't nearly as successful as this last one.
To that event Mr. Herbert Wright. the genial
night manager of the United Press. was sent as
Nashlngtons representative man. but thev
stopped the sale of ''nervine" in New York on
that occasion. and as a result the national cap
ltal failed to secure a place. The tournament
this year was made doubly interesting owing to
the fact that John W. Mackay. the California
millionaire, presented two medals Of solid gold.
valued at $50 and 800 respectively to be
competed for. and through his efforts two men,
the most expert telegraphers on the Pacific
coast, came east to enter the lists.
