of modern depravity, and shows how
low and blunted may become the pub
lie conscience through the selfish indul.
gence of depraved appetite, and unre-
strained passions.
Never in the history of our country
was our nation in such periIous need
of moral stamina and true patriotism
as NOW. National prohibition, through
political action is the one and ONLY
practical method for destroying this
terrible octopus on our homes and
country. Prohibition of this traffic, by
and through the ballot box, must be SO
aggressive, so complete, that the sell.
ing of alcoholic beverages will be made
the greatest offense in the annals OF
crime, with brand of infamv on the
perpetrators.

stands for good, every so-called Chin
ese merchant land there will be many
who has not already brought his fam
lily here, will claim to have wife and
at least half dozen children in China
whom he will order to follow him to
the United States. As to his age or
external appearance he would estab-
lish the age of his wife and the num-
ber of his children. In this way he
could import with facility from three
to five females as his pretended wife
and daughters and also couple of
grown sons: for the former he could
obtain a high price as Chinese females
are rather scarcity, particularly in
the great eastern cities and the latter
would be perfectly willing to give him
during a few years at least half of
their earnings. In such manner we
may get Chinese population more
numerous than we care for However,
as the Chinese will never be beneficial,
but rather detrimental addition to
social life, 1t is to be hoped that a
prompt appeal is made from this Seat
tie decision to our federal supreme
court, and that until the final disposi-
ton of the case by that body, we may
maintain the present status of the law,
namely: that no Chinese, whether male
or female, be allowed to land in this
country, without the proper certificate
prescribed by law, showing their pre-
vious residence in the United States.

The tariff and currency questions

GUM AND DIGESTION.
The Innocent Looking Cud is Capable
of Serious Disaster to Health
[FrOm Popular Science News.l

The constant Utilization of the SAL
wary organs kept up by chewing this
stuff not only causes steady drain of
saliva, which is most wasteful, but,
what is more serious still, in conse-
quence of the frequently repeated
stimulation to which these organs are
thus exposed, they fail to respond to
the normal excitation which ought to
rouse them to action when food is
taken. A constant dribble. of salivary
secretion is substituted for the healthy
flow which should occur only at meal
times. The glands fail to respond to
any stimulant less potent than the pep
permint, aniseed or other constituents
found in chewing gum; and the more
insipid foods, such as bread and other
starchy compounds, pass into the stom-
ach unchanged. This is disturbing to
digestion at its very commencement,
and it is extremely probable that the
indigestion for starchy substances,
which is so commonly met with at the
present day, is largely due to the waste
of saliva caused by smoking and by
constant chewing of various substan-
ces, which is going on all around. The
chewing of gum is thus not only a
nasty habit, but is provocative of ill
health. Unfortunately when "chewing
gum is sold in the form of a sweet
meat it may cause still more serious
consequences, being apt to be swal-
lowed by children, who, like their first
parents, when they see it is apparently
good for food and pleasant to the eyes,
are undeterred by the superscription
mot to be eaten.'

LICENSED CRIME,
America Has Dangers from Within it's
Own Bounds Greater than from
Without.
[By l.. M. Catlin, Minneapolis. ]

wish to show the other side of the
picture as presented by &c. E. c." in
your issue of Feb. 10th, entitled "Our
America" In it he mentions "America,
the land of the free and the home of
the brave!' "a government of the
people, for the people, and by the peo-
pler' which is but the bright cloud be-
fore the storm. or was but the ideal of
our forefathers who, in founding this
great republic. hoped that we might
attain to. But not so, for in almost
every avenue of industrial pursuit we
find commercial chill from the icy
fingers of greed which is in greater
part the American Saloon. 1t is pro-
tected under the U. S. laws as are the
homes of our country. The reason for
this will leave for you to answer.
TO license is treason; and all voters
are responsible for the results of the
license system. A license that will en-
courage vice, degrade our homes, or
sanction crime can have no other re.
suit than to break down the incentives
to virtue, destroy all barriers to the
selfish, criminal exercise of the vicious
appetites and passions of the people
and if persisted in, finally terminates
in riot and anarchy.
The selling of this poison is a palpa-
BILE wrong, fearful injury and colossal
public nuisance-a cruel curse without
one redeeming feature. Taking from
the industrial classes 10000 people each
year. And 81 ,2OO,OOO,OOO is also turned

criminal acts, which fills prisons, poor

HISTORICAL PRECEPTS.
IPaper Read Before the Cha,nauQ,ta Circle.

In perusing the History of the
United States as also other historical
works, aside from becoming we'll in
formed on subjects of current interest,
no greater pleasure and benefit can be
derived therefrom than by picturing
the instances in mind: searching for
the causes which lead to their actions:
their reasoning thereon; the methods
adopted for accomplishing and the
ultimate results. For the advance.
ment of thought and reason a better
subject could not be desired.
All reasoning is retrospective and
consists in the application of facts and
principles previously known. All prog
ress of every description has been ac-
complished by successive generations
through the avoidance of the errors of
those that preceded them. Precepts
may be taken from almost every his.
tOrical fact
Columbus desirous of discovering
the remote parts of Asia, and in hopes
of there finding gold and other wealth
made urgent solicitations to Portugal
for aid; then of Spain, again to be re-
fused. But by determination and
continued efforts became successful in
prevailing upon Ferdinand and Isa-
bella of Spain, and then set sail, first
carefully studying the most advanced
theories and maps, and by chance he
finally landed in America.
In history may be found much food
for thought. and for comparison with
modern knowledge and ideas. When
we consider the situation of America
previous to the Declaration of Inde-
pendence: the odd laws; the peculiar
church rules and method of reasoning,
how contrasting it now appears.
In the formation of the Declaration
of Independence we note the first
marked and rapid stride toward our
present method of reasoning. The
biography of Washington, Jefferson,
Hamilton, Madison and other notables
we read with admiration. The slavery
question which for years was much
argued problem, and which bestirred
the brightest minds of the day, also
deserves of prominent mention. 1t
was a time when national peace was
at stake; the efforts and argument
made to settle peaceably; the selfish
opinions and ideas expressed by some;
the contrasting ideas of men of the
same calibre and position in life. Lit

CRIME CENTERS.
All Large Cities Have Localities That
Are Breeding Spots for Crime.
From the Minneapolis Journal

1t is said, and with great deal of
truth, that IS per cent of all criminals
are found among the urban population.
In all large cities there are certain
places which can be called crime CEN
ters, as, for instance, the give Points
and "HelPs Kitchen" in New York.
"Bucktown Flats" and cover the
Rhine" in Cincinnati, South Madison
and Clark streets in Chicago, and the
"White Chapel" district in London.
In fact, every city in the country has
some part of its area given over to
thieves and thugs.
In most cases the part of the city
thus occupied has been in more palmy
days the pride of the town, but by a
series of ownerships, hard times and
poor management, coupled with chang
ing population, the buildings have run
down, repairs have been neglected, and
the section becomes a habitat for a
less respectable class of citizens. The
u AoIOltAO11 w q OIlulO OOhCO1 10 llOU q
sudden one. The streets are narrow
and ill lighted, the doings of the in
habitants become more and more dis.
reputable, the decent move out and the
criminal and vicious claimj it as their
own.
The police are satisfied to keep the
6a hi TO vu-1f hn
the city councils make no attempt to
better the sanitary conditions or make
it place where respectable people
may live. Time goes on, and the place
becomes filthy, unsanitary, dark, and
an ideal rendezvous for criminals. A
little observation will teach that such
district may be dissipated by giving
it share of municipal improvements
such as new pavements, better lights
and police service. The owners of the
property are then encouraged or forced
in order to get a return on their taxes
to put up better buildings. BY just
such sequence of events, the Five
Points and Mulberry Bend are NO
longer the terrible places of ten years
ago.
In the last three years New York
has inaugurated house
commission which has done noble ser
vice in collaboration with the board of
health in that city. A great many old
tenement.houses have been torn down
and in their place more modern houses
erected. If all cities would remove the
dirty tenements which are menace to
civilization and to health, widen the
dark and narrow streets and enforce
sanitary laws, the first great step in the
breaking up OF systematic crime would
be taken.
