Among the "Upper Set,r

Her Majesty's Inspector of Retreats
under the Inebriates' Act makes some
rather startling statements in his an
nual report just issued as a parlia-
mentary paper. Here Is one: "There
is an easy optimism which is fond of
repeating the statement that excessive
drinking has ceased among the upper
classes, and will in time die out like
wise among the lower orders.'" There
is painful reason to believe the state
ment to be fallacious. Less wine Is
drunk at the dinner table, but it may
be otherwise at the club, billiard roou.,
the smoke room and the bar. There
is ground for believing that immoder-
ate drinking. though frightfully COM
mon among the industrial classes is
yet more prevalent in the classes u.s.
ually contrasted with them" Another
is that among women, also, of all
classes, it appears certain that drunk
anness is on the increase" These. 70
1t remembered, are the conclusions Of
no so-called fanatic" but of an expe-
denced the matter-of government

Mans Inhumanity to Man.


. 1t IS my conviction that much Of the
nopelessness Of inebriety depends up
on mans inhumanity to man. 1t is
necessary to isolate people not only on
account of the promptings of their
own cravings, but also on account of
the promptings of their friends. One
OF the earliest cases that called my at
tention to the evils Of drink occurred
IN Hardwick Hospital while I was res
ldent there; man was discharged one
morning c0nvalescent after a severe at
tack of delirium tremens; his friends
met him at the gate, and took him
from public house to public house, and
so celebrated his recovery until the
evening. that they were then able tc
return him suffering from relapse
a relapse which ended fatally in few
days.
This Is an extreme example Of
common occurrence. l have often con-
vinced people that their only chance
OF safety lay in total abstinence, and
my efforts have been frustrated by So
called friends and relatives whose con-
slant cry was, "a little can do you 40
harm. The little has too often been
taken, and the flood gates have been
opened.-Dr. Macdowell Cosgrave.

"The SYNOD f1nds occasion to reit.
crate the judgment often expressed by
the General Assembly and this synod,
that the renting Of property for the
sale Of intoxicants, and the signing Of
applications to sell Intoxicating bev-
erages, Is inconsistent with Christian
character and harmful to the cause Of
religion, and calls the attention Of all
its presbyteries and sessions, its min.
listers, teachers and church members.
to this matter"
Grover Cleveland says:
II do not care II all the synods and
Presbyteries in the country were to
offer an adverse decision, 1t would be
no good reason why l should alter my
opinion. | am very sorry that Dr..
Shields has been bothered over this
matter, as he is an old and very dear
friend Of mine. Otherwise the action
OF the Presbytery does not affect me
In the least When I signed the petit
ton for the liquor license for the
Princeton Inn in no sense committed
wrong, and if the same proposition
came up for my consideration again, I
would do the same thing"
Just so. We do not for a moment
doubt Mr.. Cleveland's word. and hun
dreds Of others will do the same thing.
So long as this government is part
ner in the business, and to sell liquo.
is a legitimate enterprise, church men
may resolve and resolve, but all to no
purpose.

A Startling Discovery.

A startling discovery has been an
nounced, one over which the liquor
fraternity is considerably agitated. It
is stated on scientific authority, and
chronicled by the liquor press itself,
that there is bacterium which lives
and grows in alcoholic drinks. The
TACT is naturally characterized in these
same papers as somewhat remarka-
ble," they being evidently of the same
opinion as Temperance fanatics" with
regard to the destructive nature of al.
cohol The discoverer regards this
micro-organism as new species."
Might We not suggest that it is the
nineteenth century incarnation Of the
adversary? The public is promised
later on fuller account of the devel-
opment of this remarkable microbe
and the chemical changes it pro-
duces"-in the drinks. 1t would be
more to the purpose to know it's effects
upon the human organism. At any
rate alcoholic beverages can no longer
be recommended as safer than water
because OF their freedom from the
deadly bacteria. Union Signal.

the following: "a peculiar scene was
