MILLIONS FOR BRIBERY.
Charges Brought Against the SalOO


Charges Brought Against the Saloons
BY Workers for Temperance.
An enthusiastic meeting of the Anti
Saloon League Society washed at Foundry
Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday af-
temoon. The temperance societies repre-
sented were the Good Templars. the Recha-
bites, the w. c. T u, the Christian En-
deavor Union and the Epworth League.
Mr.. E. c. Palmer, who spoke on behalf
of the Templars, indicated the saloon as the
resort OF criminals, the cause of poverty
and OF many of the accidental deaths which
occur daily. Most of the thousands of peo-
pie who were out of work during last
winter, he said, could attribute their pow
erty TO the drink curse.
He urged upon his hearers the necessity
of union among the temperance societies
in this struggle against the saloon, and
urged that il the Christian people of the
country rose up in body against the sa-
loon il would soon be thing of the past
The saloons of the country bnbed the
government with 500, 200 000 yearly to
rob the people, said Mr.. j H. Harlsock, who
represented the Rechabites, and 1--WE in
Washington" he continued. permit our
homes To be robbed for a license Of S400
annually. The speaker then denounced
the saloon as the seat of anarchy, the
yiolater of the Sabbath, and the Sunday
school for the penitentiary.
How are we TO rid ourselves of the sa-
loon?" questioned Mr.. Hartsock. by
having the church people of the land rise up
en masse to cry out against it in voices
loud enough to be heard in the Commits
sioners' office aud halls of Congress-"
A brief address was delivered by Mrs. S.
NJ. Gnffitbs, president of the w. C. 7. u,
who spoke OH the same liues as the speaker
who preceded her. She hoped that all
the temperance societies in the city would
unite with the w. CT. U. in abolishing
the drink habit
She was followed by Mr.. Herman C.
Metcaif and Mr. A B. Matthews. of the
Christian Eudcavor Union and Epworth
League respectively, who spoke briefly.
During the meeting Mr.. w. j. Palmer
rendered several solos. The benediction
was pronounced by the Rev. DR.. Oliver A.

eial delight in disregarding not only their
counsel, but the almost unanimous senti-
ment of press and public, which called
loudly for Taylor's dismissal, il is not
to be supposed that he will listen to any
suggestion from any direction outside
of his own predictions. 1t might not
be bad idea, therefore, and would be
entirely in keeping with the eternal fit
ness of things, if Mr.. Cleveland would go
into consultation with Recorder Taylor
and discuss with him the merits of the
respective candidates for the places.
The peculiar qualifications for these
positions could be pointed out with. rare
discernment by the Recorder. He would
lay special stress, no doubt, upon the
necessity of securing men of pure, moral
character, men who had never, directly
or indirectly, made political assessments
upon their employees, men who in every
respect would come up TO the high per-
sonal and political character of the Re
corder himself.
By pursuing this course, Taylor would
not run afouI OF any official or officious
interference with his administration of
the office of Recorder of Deeds, Mr.
Cleveland would not be annoyed with
recommendations for the removal of his
pet office-holder, and everybody would
be happy except, perhaps, the public,

RoGUEs. NOT MERCHANTS,

There is a class of traders who think
the public legitimate prey, and through
delusive advertising cheat and swindle
and otherwise deceive their customers.
Unlike reputable merchants, who perma-

deserving business, these scamps puT-
chase shop-worn, damaged goods and

These tramp store merchants are the
panahs Of trade. They have neither repu-

methods. No man who deliberately sells
worthless goods TO an unsophistioated Gus
toner can either be honest or regsfd his
deception in the light of honest dealing.

1T GIVES MEN WORK.

From whatever point Of view the Detroit
plan Of relief for the unemployed may be
considered, it ought to be treated fairly
and honestly. II may not satisfy the
very highest desires of the philanthropist
but il is an evolution OF effort in the right
direction. To sneer at it or seek to make il
appear ridiculous, as is the disposition
in some quarters, ispuerlle to the lastd degree.
in his address at the Peoples Church
yesterday Rev. Alexander Kent referred to
the matter. Itdidnot appear to him the best
solution OF the great problem but he
welcomed il as an indication of the growing
conviction on the part OF society that it
owes its unfortunate members aid aud
support. DR.. Kent emphasized the fact
tEat it is not charity that is wanted for the
poor, but employment.
II is because the Detroit plan does afford
employment that The Times has given it
its approval and support 1t may be
only an experiment; longer experience may
prove il to be defective in some respects
and as not yielding the best results; time
and further investigation may show that
something more drastic, more thorough,
more comprehensive is required, but the
effort is to be respected for what it attempts.
DR.. Kent is quite right in stating that
charity has a tendency to demoralize
We all know that work ennobles.

While preparations are being made on all

their families, the Associated Charities,
with admirable good sense, have entered
upon task which win go far to separate
the drones from the bees, as it will discover
who are worthy of fsupport whent the winter
comes and who are not.
One of the great difficulties that is met
with in the dispensing of relief is to be
sure that none but the deserving are aided.
All those who now come forward and by
diligence, perseverance and thrift give
evidence of their earnest to support them.
selves, if for any reason they should fail
or be overtaken by sickness, would be
proper subjects for such aid as would be
in the power of the different chari-
table associations to give. On the other
hand, no help should be extended to such
as prefer incidence to industry and idleness
to work
1t might not be bad idea for the other
relief bodies to Join the Associated Chari-
ties in this sitting process.

Rev Adolos Allen last evening preached
a vigorous and timely sermon against
Jackson City and the outlaw track and
their effect on the public morals Among
other things he suggested that system
OF boycott be tablished against people
who frequent and keep those places alive.
For their own protection banks and mer.
chants should refuse to loan money or en-
ploy frequenters Of those swindling places,
for men who are foolish enough TO bet
against such systems OF robbery do not de-
serve much sympathy.
Guttenburg, Roby, and other outlaw
tracks have thrived and have been sup
pressed on account OF lawlessness, but
neither of them ever resorted TO open
methods TO fleece their patrons as do
