Joe Baker and family have moved
into VIM. BetZels house.
James Boles and wife returned last
week from visit to Madison and
Richland Center and report pleasant
trip
ID. III. Smith returned from Connect
icut where he spent the winter.
Frank Scullen died last Friday of la
grippe. He has been sick nearly all
winter. He leaves wife and two
children.
Jas. Stirrat lost horse few days
ago.
We promised to let several of the
readers of the JOURNAL know some
thing about our trip to Madison. We
left Prescott at few minutes after s
A. NJ. and arrived at La Crosse at II NJ.
where we changed cars for Portage
where we arrived at $50 p. NJ. The
country through which we pass after
leaving La Crosse is some of the most
worthless land in the state. For miles
and miles as far as the eye can reach
there is nothing to be seen but roll
ing country covered with marshes or
else it is sandy sprinkled over with
scrub oak brush mixed with ever
greens. Not building is to be seen
save now and then a solitary hut
which marks the habitatiOn of some
poor isolated human being. But
even in these dreary wIlds there
are things that will interest an observ-
ant eye, such as picturesque rocks
towering heavenward fifty to two hun
dred feet, decked with eveTgreeDs
We also pass by the ''Dells of Wiscon-
sin" which is quite summer resort
and which hundreds of tourists vis>
il every summer. Huge walls of sand
stone washed by the river present to
the eye almost every shape and form.
Soon after leaving here we enter
tunnel 900 to 800 feet in length, and
as we enter it our mind recalls, Here
the world is shut out and darkness
reigns supreme" We now change
cars again at Portage for Madison.
Here We pass through as fine farming
land as may be found in the state, and
Judging by the buildings this part of
the country was settled away back.
This is a grain country, but farther
east may be found large fields of tobac
co and occasionally large hop field.
We halted at the capital city at 5. 80 p.
NJ. Among the things worthy of note
were articles we saw i'm the art gallery
in the capitol building. The gallery is
well supplied with every article of in
terest found in the Badger State. We
had a short conversation with Gov.
Peck. He seemed to be very social
and obliging.
Our next visit was TO the Insane
Hospital. Although everything seems
to be done that will aid or comfort the
unfortunate victims, oLe can feel a
OF sadness come over him as
he realizes the situation they are in.
All together we had a very enjoyable
trip which was largely due to the kind
ness of our Assemblyman. B. Ii. Cor
cOran. who assisted and instructed us
at every opportunity.

StI do III III pIdCtiCdl uOClTIlldlTe.
The loss by fire in 1892 in the
United States was S156, 324, $50.
The drink bill for the same year was
81, 20O,OO0,000. In every city large
sums of money are expended each
year to fight fire and preserve pro-
perty from the flames.
Contrast this method of managing
fire with that SO generally adopted
in controlling the liquor fire which
destroys that which is more valuable
than property, human lives, says the
Rockfort, ILL.,, Monitor. The fire
which lays hold on body and soul is
not fought and suppressed on the
first appearance of the flames, but is
coaxed and famed carefully by
municipal authority. 1t is encour-
aged by the national government,
considerably looked after by the
state, and pampered and caressed by
politicians, 1t is placed under the
care and supervision of the police,
who are careful to arrest the burning
brands when they burn too fiercely,
but grant immunity and protection
to those who are setting the human
brands on fire.
The loss of s156.OO0,000 by fire in
a year is alarming. No one ques
lions the danger to which we are ex-
posed by this destructive agent.
But why should we be less care
full about the dangers resulting from
the liquor traffic? There is little
doubt that liquor is responsible for
many fires, and that often-times the
incendiary's torch is lighted by the
madness induced through strong
drink. The tens of thousands of hu-
man beings destroyed each year by
liquor, the numberless homes that
are turned into bells, the miserable
women and children, the almshouses
and asylums, are not these sufficient
to arouse us to the wickedness and
the costliness of our present method
by which the business which pro-
duces all this is fostered and pro-
tected
We do well to maintain thorough
and effective sfre departments that
our homes and our factories may be
preserved from the devouring flames
but we should also have equal re-
gard for the people who live in these
homes and work in these factories
any of whom by reason of this Ii
censed liquid fire are seriously in
jured in health, crippled in finance;
and untitled for the responsible posi-
lions they are expected to occupy.

Rev. J. III. Hector, known as the
Black knight, has been talking tenn
perance in Montreal. A local paper
says:
The argument that the slavery of
drink was worse than that under the
planters lash was borne out by IL
Illustrations from real life often spark
ling with genuine humor. He said
that the slave owners marked and
branded their slaves, but not with
such cruelty as King Alcohol.
American slavery only took in one
race, intemperance takes in all;
whiskey enslaves more people than
the Southern states did, many times
over. The slave dealers separated
families-so does whisky. The
slave dealers could not stamp out
natural affection, the wrongs their
victims suffered intensified their
love for each other; but intemper-
ance robs parents Unnatural affection
for their children and often causes
children to murder their own parents.

st. Louis Observer; Upon what
does the success of the liquor traffic
depend? Upon debased manhood,
wronged womanhood, defrauded
childhood. 1t holds a mortgage
over every cradle; deed written in
hearts blood over every human
life. New York Tribune.
Why then is the whiskey traffic
tolerated? If such language were
used with reference to any other
public evil the whole population
would be up in arms to overthrow
it. We have laws in this land to
protect the fish in the rivers, the
fowls of the air and the wild beasts of
the forest, but we have no laws to
protect helpless women and innocent
children.
We make it lawful to strike the
baby in the cradle, to devour young
men by the thousands and to send
weeping widows to the poorhouse.
When we protest against such in
fanny, we are called sentimentalists,
fanatics and cranks. The man who
wants to paralyze the arm that is
raised to plunge the dagger into his
child's heart is no fanatic, but the
man who seeks to protect his home
against the invasion of poverty,
crime and untold misery, is sneered
at as an impractical doctrinaire.
