Temperance and prohibition.

Temperance in the use of alcoholic
beverages has no m0e rIlatiOn to pro-
hibition than has stealing OF lying. as
both temperance and intemporance
are mlsnomers when used to express
opposition to the drink habit, unless
any use of the poison Of alcohol in a
beverage may be called intemperance;
but in no case can we honestly or prop
erly use the word Temperance" when
we mean opposition to. or prohibition
of, the use or sale of alcoholic liquors,
in which is included the elimination
of nearly all the crime that curses so
clety. In this connection temper
ance" becomes a dangerously mislead-
ing and wicked mlsnOmer.-From

THE FOX RIVER SITUATION.
Gen. Dee Returns From a Visit of
Inspection.

Gen. Dee Returns From n Visit of
Inspection.
Gen. Doe, assistant secretary of war, re-
turned to this city from visit of inspec-
tion Of the government works on Fox
river, Wis, where there are serious differ
ences between the navigation and manufac-
turing interests. Gen. Doe directed meas
urement of the flow of the water in the
river to ascertain whether more water
nay be safely allowed to run off. He says
that nothing can be determined until this
measurement is completed. The situation
at Fox river is told in recent dispatch
from Appleton, Wis, in the following
words:
I'm consequence of the order from the
Secretary of War forbidding the use Of
any water from Fox river for power pur
poses, all the mills in Fox valley, some
fifty in number, are shut down, with the
exception Of less than half a dozen, which
have steam power. At Appleton every
mill is shut down, and the situation is fur
ther complicated by the fact that If the
order is strictly enforced there will be no
electric service, no street lights, and pos
sibly no light for private consumers, who
take light from the Edison Company until
they can substitute steam for water power
In the meantime, many hundreds will be
out Of employment and many thousand
dollars of profit will be lost by the manu-
factrrers." Gen. Doe refuses to discuss
the question at present.
