the next suggestion.

ANOTHER PLAN.

His Grace the Archbishop of CaRtsr-
bury has given his august sanction to
liquor bill drawn up by the Bishop OF
Chester and now pending in Parliament
and any-uumber of lords favor it. The
bill bears the title of the Authorized
companies act" and proposes that in all
localities where the new companies are
to supplant the existing public houses a
simple majority Of government voters
are TO have power to bring about such a
change. In all sections where prohibit
ton or no license is proposed the propO-
sition must have the support OF two
thirds of all the voters. Ten qualified
persons may form company whose
articles of association are to be approved
by the local board of trade and one-third
of the directors must belong to or be
nominated by the local authority which
is also to appoint one of the two auditors.
Existing licensed victuallers, according
to the Bishop of Chester, who introduced
the bill, will recsiVe some equitable con-
sideratiOn fer being driven from bust
ness. After the expiration of five years
there will be general diminution OF
licenses. An effort will be made to in
clude "clubs" in the operation of the
proposed law. The companies earnings
are to be limited to per cent en- invested
capital and surplus profits will be divid-
ed between reserve fund and public
objects not now supported by the gov
eminent. In connection with the COM
pany saloons or public houses it is pro
posed to establish reading rooms, coffee
houses, libraries AMI other means of
public recreation.
The Duke of Westminster, in speech
favoriug the bill, declared that the
measure was entitled to popular support,
because, in the first place, people were
not to be deprived of the drink which 40
many thought they ought to have" and
second-'what should recommend it to
the temperance party"-because the
public houses would "he reduced in
number, and, as was shown in Sweden
and Norway, temperance would be great

The 47th annual meeting of the Grand
Lodge of Vermont, /. o. o. F., will be

prominent Odd Fellows to be advisable
to hold a field day for the Cantons in
connection with the meeting, which will
probably be arranged for in the near
future. The election of officers of the
Patriarchls Militant, which is held
biennially, will occur during this week

PRESERVING THE LINCOLN MONU.
MENT,

A movement is on foot in Illinois to
make the grounds at Springfield, where
in lie the remains of Abraham Lincoln
the property of the State, and to do away
with a charge of admission to them.
The property is owned by a corporation,
which exacts an admission fee twenty
five cents from each visitor. Little of
this money, it is claimed, gees to pre-
serve the place from decay. Both the
sepulchre that contains the remains of
the martyr President and the monument
that towers above it are becoming dilapi-
dated, while the grounds in general are
in shabby condition. 1t is shameful
that spot so consecrated by patriotic
memories should be allowed to suffer
from iRattention. 1t is not less shame
that it should be made, as Western
papers freely allege, an object of pri-
vate profit. The property, including
monument and sepulchre, was bought
by fund raised by public and private
subscription, and it would be only right
and proper to place them in the posses
sion and care of the State of Illinois,

PERILS OF MODERN LIFE.

Contacts with electric wires, railroad
accidents, broken car and elevator cables.
explosions of steam, natural gas and
chemicals, Poisons in adulterated food
and drink, are few; but all these daA-
gers combined do not kill as rapidly as

however, from consumption, is being
yearly cut down since DR.. Pierce of Buff
falo, N. Y, has given to the world his
celebrated Golden Medical Discovery"
cure for consumption and throat and
lung troubles that lead to consumption,
if taken in time and given fair trial.
The time to cure consumption (which is
really nothing more nor less than lung
scrofula), is in the first stages. A cough
