Inc great ex-President, who
twice led the Democrats to victo-

status today. He made the fatal
mistake in '96 of setting himself
up against the regular synod of

without a following. He is not
unhappy in consequence, and
doubtless enjoys that serene con.
tent peculiar to the strong minded
and opiniOnated class to which no
belongs. The local application Of
Ihese reflections is found in tbe
fact that he is roundly denounced
by a Republican candidate because
he Is the greatest Democrat in tbe

If this should meet the eye OF the

that an outrageous confidence game
was played upon him.

on that occasion uses the lingo &

has no use for any other kind.

SURE SIGN OF UNFiTNEss.
Drunksrds No Longer Tolerated In Busi-
ness or Society.

Incorporate indulgence in alcoholic
stimulants is more thoroughly under
the ban of public disapproval in this
country today than ever before in our
hi -. In every avenue of human en-
deavOr the habit of drunkenness is prop
erly regarded as mark of disqualified
ton. Such palpable lack of self control
is by common acknowledgment the surest
sign of unfitness for any of the response
bilities of business or society.
There is no doubt that the develop
ment of such a sentiment has resulted
In a marked decrease in drunkenness.
The moderate drinker is acquiring q
contempt for the drunkard. Society has
no use for him. Even the club casts
him out, and sharp competition in the
business world is putting premium ON
sobriety.
Time was when young men went to
college partly for the purpose of "sow.
ing their wild oats, and generally man
aged to acquire among other valuable
accomplishments an appetite for whis-
ky. Drunken carousals were frequent
among college students i'll earlier days
Today drunkenness at college is not
only the signal for complete ostracism,
but is occasion for promIs.. dismissal by
the college authorities. ~ is no longer
regarded as a mark of extraordinary
mental brilliancy for newspaper man
to indulge in periodical sprees. The ex-
actions and arduous duties Of modern
journalism require a steady nerve and
an unclouded brain Reputable news
papers no longer tolerate drunlards on
their stats. Even the man who gets
tipsy at n banquet nowadays Immediate
ly forfeits the respect of his fellows, no
matter what may be his position or sta
ton in life They regard him with feel
ings of mingled pity and contempt.
The decrease in drunkenness has not
been brought about by legislation. II
has been amply demonstrated that laws
will not make men temperate. The de-
crease in drunkenness is due to the ex.
acting demands of our industrial life
and to the elevation of the moral tone
of the people to that standard where
public sentiment brands drunl1ard as ar
objectionable offender against decency
and public order.-Chicago Herald.

HEADS TO ETERNAL RUIN.
Alcohol the Most Potent of All Causes In
Producing Insanity.


Producing Insanity.
BY any showing whatever, then, there
is no cause which equals alcohol in pro-
ducing insanity. 1t moves in triumphal
procession along every route of stress
which leads to the human brain and
mind. Like food it submerges sense,
reason and the will as the de1uge did
the valleys and the hills. Like demon
it inhabits the mans vitals and blows
its breath of oblivion through his senses
into that most wonderful Of Gods
mechanism, the higher brain centers
With fiendish suggestion of cure it
lies ambushed in the mothers remedy
for ailments of her children, and hidden
III the darkness of natures most incom-
prehensible secret, it reaches forth the
skeleton hand of Mephistopheles and
touches the unfolding tissue that God is
weaving into human brain That
touch is degeneration. Not yet content,
1t sits at the accountants desk and
blots his page with error
1t takes the business routes over the
travelled ways and writes the word "in
fanny" ON the business mans advertise
ment. 1t seeks out his rivals and enc
mics and whispers to them the awful
word "drunl1ard =" 1t seeks out his
friends and teaches them to bow their
heads in shame while murmuring the
words of pity. When all business rela-
lions are broken and ruined, the tyrant
of slaves turns about and with an iron
hand he grasps the mans brain and
brushes reason, thought, love and happi-
ness into the chaos OF eternal ruin -
