COULD CLOSE THE JOINTS.
Francis Murphy Thinks He Gould Do
It by the Salvation Army Method
and the Pledge.

Francis Murphy, who lectures at the
First NJ z. church tonight, is q unique
figure in temperance work For TWEEN
ty-six years he has made temperance
lectures He started out on the theory
that moral suasiOn only was necessary
to stop liquor drinking and now he has
come to the conclusion that the law ana
moral suasiOn should go hand in hand
TO accomplish the desired result.
Mr. Murphy is delighted with To-
peka. This is the cIeanest town was
ever in. said he to a Journal reporter.
II have been out a good deal and have
been on the streets until almost mid
night and I have seen no drunkenness.
I am satisfied that if the law is not en-
forced here that the condition is in
initely better than the open saloon
When you can drive the saloon keepers
behind closed doors, when they have
TO keep a detective watching to keep
from being caught, something has been
accomplished
What this state needs more than
ANYTHING is q great temperance revival.
The enforcement of the law must be
accompanied with moral suasion and
the signing of pledges Of total absu-
hence. With these pledges nothing can
prevent the enforcement of the law.
Kansas has all the machinery neces-
sary and what is needed now is a re-
vival of the rOusing kind.
when there is q political campaign
they have speakers and brass bands
and enthusiasm and all to get people
to vote, and if that method were fol-
lowed in the enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law it would make great diff
ference"
DO you think you could secure the
enforcement of the law in Wichita by
moral suasion2' asked the reporter.
YES. sir do. I believe could go
into Wichita and close every drinking
place I would count on the co-opera-
ton of the ministers of course, and
with their help I am satisfied I could
close all the joints or saloons"
How much time would you want2'
ct believe four weeks would be
enough I would want a big central
hall and no charge for admission. We
would commence the gospel temperance
meetings and work UP an enthusiasm
without even mentioning the enforce
ment of the law. and when I had 10000
with their names to pledges not a

NAPLES DO NOT GROW.
Around Some Gotham School Houses
But Arbor Day is Observed

New York, May 12.-Arbor day does
not mean much to the school children
of the city proper, but they celebrated
it, just the same. OF course, no trees
were planted but the rooms were dec
Grated and the children sang songs
about flowers and trees and brooks and
listened to wise letters on the beauties
Of arboriculture.
In former years al the schools plant

was there sustenance for naples in the

they painted and watered in Park Row

1t is wholly immaterial to those poor
people whether Mexico is on a silver or
a gold basis. They themselves are on
q copper basis. and are bound to stay
there until their general plane of civili-
zatfon is raised. To hold up Mexico
as model for America, or IS an ex-
ample in any point of view, is simply
prep0sterous.
Another reason why Mexico can fur
nish no criterion by which to judge a
monetary system is that the money
metals are the great staples Of :'ro-
duction in that country, except as agri-
cultural products are raised for do
nestle use. The gold yield Is much
larger than statistics indicate, for the
reason that there is a tax on the out
put Of both gold and silver. There is
not much attempt to smuggle out the
silver-it is too bulky-but great part
Of the gold produced escapes taxation,
and. in escaping taxation, eludes the
statisticians. There is supposed to be
$5,OOO.OOO in gold in the country and
ten times that amount in silver money
There is more than that amount OF
each metal produced annually. The
statistics Of 1894 gave the gold output
as $4,5OO,OO0. The actual amount must
have been at least $6,00O,O00. The sill
yer output was sec, S17 300, about three
times as much as all Europe, Asia and
Africa produce. To go to Mexico fol

The condition of Mexico is naturally
attracting a good deal of attention,
from the fact that it is on a free-silver,
50-cent dollar basis. It's example is,
however, of very little importance as
an object lesson for the United States,
for the reason that other factors Of
much more potency enter into the case
to determine the real condition. Still,
it is pertinent to inquire into the facts,
apart from making an argument for or
against any particular theory of
money.
Whether one concludes that Next
co is prosperous or not depends alto
gether from ones point of view. So

The government is stable. The pro-

but Mexican credit is good abroad.

We repeat that from a business mans
point of view Mexico is prosperous,
highly so.
But when viewed from the stand
point of the people. their condition and
opportunities, it is altogether different.
The great mass of the people are alb
jectly poor and wholly illiterate. Their
contentment is due to their ignorance
and to the fact that they and their
ancestors never knew any better con-
dition. The climate is mild and their
absolute necessities are few The best

and factories, does not command over
one-half the pay common on this side
of the line. and that, too. in q 50-cent

accustomed to our ways of living, can
hardly conceive the abjectness of the
poverty of the poems, the class which
does about all the work Of every kind
and constitutes at least 80 per cent. Of
the people. They have nothing in the
way Of clothes except the rags ON their
backs. live mostly ON beans and a

can get beastly drunk for a few cents.
Their houses are like pig pens. no such
things as bedsteads or chairs being
found in them. A few descendants Of
the Spanish grandees have great
estates and are very rich, while the
poems, attached to them by a system Of
practical serfd0m, get less actual share
IN the profits Of the land they work
than did the plantation negroes Of the
cotton belt before the war.

banking and currency, outlined bill
for free coinage which provided that
the silver dollar now existing shall be
cOinable without limit in amount on
producing the bullion for it, and on the
same terms now prescribed for gold.
In answer to the direct question,
Would your theory put the country on
a silver basis?" he replied: "Momen-
tarily it might 1 think it would i'm
nediately." He was then asked: "How
long would that condition prevail?" He
answered.: Il would not predict the

thusiasm that aroused Colorado, fol
instance, to a high pitch has percepti-
bly, declined, and there are not a few
republicans in that state who are
sanguine that it will be carried for
Mckinley and Hobart.
In Kansas it is the same way. There
is no detection among the republicans
of the Sunflower state, who are well
organized and are showing a compact
and aggressive front to the enemy.
The republican newspapers of the state,
without exception, are supporting the
national ticket most enthusiastically,
and this is of itself tower of strength
to the cause. Kansas has not forgotten
the glorious traditions of the past, and
can be relied upon in the crisis now be-
fore the country to cast her vote on the
side of prosperity and national honor.
From Nebraska, the home of Candi-
date Bryan, who is now swinging
round the circle, the word goes forth
that the republicans Of that common
wealth will not be satisfied with less
than $4,000 majority for Mckinley.
They know Bryan there, and all that
he stands for, and are eager to register
their opinion at the polls. Missouri,
too, is lining up for the battle for sound
money, and every day sees new &C.
cessions to the ranks of national
credit.
In fact, the same story comes from
all over the country. and the Bryan
managers are perceptibly alarmed.
They are making herculean efforts to
bring about . display of enthusiasm.
