"PERSONAL lIBERTY.n
What . Leading Catholic Clergyman Says
on the Question.


Father Walter Elliott, of the Paulist
Fathers, speaking on the personal
liberty" claimed by the liquor men,
said:
Now, is there anything like real civil
liberty that inspires the saloon keepers
that they should array themselves in lib
erty leagues? They are the deadliest ven
ON that poisons politics 1t is the trail
from the saloon to the low caucus, and
from the low caucus back again to the
saloon, that poisons politics. We know
and perhaps we know 1t better than
we are always ready to avow-that, in
stead Of their having any right to claim
protection and liberty, they are the ones
which should be the most hated-if 1t
is right to hate sin-by those who love
truth, liberty and citizenship. And that
is what is called the liberty of religion,
for there is something about the truth
which claims hearing everywhere. !"
The speaker quoted from the words Of
Pope Leo that truth should have the
right to be propagated Continuing, he
said:
"And of all that can claim rights
religious truth is the greatest, so that
religion, whenever it has the truth
within it, reaches men who love liberty
everywhere, and the liberty of the citi-
zen follows the liberty of the Christian
And who can say that the liberty of the
Christian has anything to do with the
liberty of those who sell drink and keep
saloons? Many times / have walked the
streets of large cities hanging my head
in shame to sec the names rendered
famous in the great and glorious past OF
our history, associated with the virtues
and victories of martys and heroes, con-
spicuous over tho saloons and associated
with the work of demons. Liberty, lib
erty everywhere! The liberty of con-
science and of religion that there may
be less restraint upon the very limbs of
man by drink. But no liberty to do
wrong! No liberty to poison ibertyi No
liberty for the saloon keeper''

THE SALOON KEEPER.
DR.. Talmace Gives Advice to Those In the
Business.
TBY t. DE WITT TALMAGE, D. d.

Business.
TBY T. DE WITT TALMAGE, D. D.
Do I address one whose regular work
in life is to administer to this appetite?
For God $ sake, get out of that business!
If woe be pronounced upon the man
who gives his neighbor drink, how
many woes must be hanging over the
man who does this every day and every
hour of the day!
God knows better than you do your
self the number of drinks you have
poured out You keep list, but more
accurate list has been kept than yours.
You may call it Burgundy, Bourbon,
Heidsieck, Hook God calls it strong
drink. Whether you sell it in low oys-
ter cellars or behind the polished coun-
ter of a first class hotel, the divine
curse is upon you. I tell you plainly
that you will meet your customers one
day when there will be no counter be-
tween you. When your work is done on
earth and you enter the reward of your
business, all the souls of the men whom
you have destroyed will crowd around
you and pour their bitterness into your
cup. They will show you their wounds
and say, "You made them," and point
to their unquenchable thirst and say,
"You kindled it," and rattle their
chains and say, "You forged them. "
Then their united groans will smite
your ear, and with the hands out Of
which you once picked the sixpences
and the dimes they will push you off
the verge of great precipices, while roll
ing up from beneath and breaking
among the crags Of death will thunder,
"Woe to him that giveth his neighbor

A Woman of National Fame Who Is a Ter
Tor to the Whisky Crowd.
Mrs. Helen M. Cougar has done most
telling work for Prohibition during the
past "reign Of hard times" The great
meeting addressed by her in Central
Music hall, Chicago, in December, and
from which thousands were turned away
for want of room, called the attention
not only of that great city, but the coun-
try at large to the relation of the waste
of the liquor traffic to the labor question.
At this meeting a contribution of about
$500 was lifted, and it was applied to the
rent Of rooms and purchase of blankets
for the homeless, hungry men.
She has constantly addressed great
audiences. Her cartoon circular, "Chi-
cago's Poverty" has been widely circu-
lated and has had telling effect. Her
article ON "Prohibition,' published in
The Arena, has reached thousands who
never read paper devoted to prohibi-
tion. Her recent meetings held for the
sake of union of reform forces in Indi-
ana and addressed by herself and Mrs.
Lease were remarkably successful and
have been an uplift along this line of
needed work. Mrs. Cougar will make
a few speeches in New York early in
June, thence to Colorado, where she
speaks for one month to the women
voters in the interest of the Prohibition
party. She will devote much time to
the Kansas woman suffrage amendment
campaign and to Indiana.

Members of the church of God most
pure, bear it in mind that intemperance
in our land, and the world over, stands
in the way of the gospel. 1t opposes the
progress of the reign of Christ in every
village and hamlet, in every city and at
every corner of the street. 1t stands in
the way of revivals of religion, and of
the glories of the millennial morn. Ev-
cry drunkard opposes the millennium;
every dram drinker stands in the way of
it; every dramseller stands in the way
of it.-Albert Barnes, d. d.

John B, Finch.

There was a time when the temper
ance movement was largely the strug-
gle of few poor victims of the traffic
to free themselves. That day has passed.
The reform has become part Of the re-
hgious faith Of this nation, and in spite
of all the sophistries and work. of the
drunkard makers and their aiders and
abettors the day is not far distant when
a state will no sooner license man to
carry on business to debauch the loved
ones of the women of this land than it
will license man to steal the jewels
from their jewel cases.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-07-17

The time is coming when those vino
use Intoxicating liquors or traffic in them
will not be able to lift up their heads in
a Christian church which has any good
claim to elevation and purity of charac-
ter. They will be as really and truly
stigmatized on account of un-Christian
conduct as those who are guilty of vices
that are now deemed palpably disgrace
ful.-Professor Moses Stewart, d. D.,

Fermented wine is indeed mocker.
1t promises us strength and mocks us
with weakness; it promises us substance
and mocks us with shadows; it promises
us heat and mocks us with cold; it prom
ises us life and moeks US with premature
death; it promises us intelligence and
wit and covers us with visions of happi-
ness and plunges us into the depths Of
despair.-Norman Kerr, NJ. d.

There is no single channel through
which such depths of misery flow over
