The per capita consumption Of Alec
hoI has begun to decline In this coun-
Try, although its consumption L. in
crsasins In other nations. The New
York Medical Record puts this decline
during tho last ten years at 80 per cent
Prior to that time there was a contin-
ual increase. During those years some
of our prohibltory laws have been re-
pealed, others have been weakened:
less rather than more temperance plat
form work has been done, and more
than 100000 people have come to us
from foreign lands, bringing with them
the alcoholic habits Of the old world
In tho face of all these unfavorable
conditions. why has the per capita con-
sumption OF alcohol In this country
decreased during this time, while pre-
viously 1t increased? Our English
friends are doing as much church So
ciety and Band of Hope work as we,
and perhaps more. and yet England's
drink bill for 1897 ran up to SIS. $780,
900 more than that of the preceding
year. The only new feature introduced
into temperance work In this country
during the last ten years 80 generally
as to touch all sections, and the only
method of Importance in which our
temperance work differs from that of
England. is that Of temperance educa-
ton In the public schools. 1t is this
which Is getting the truth to tho peo-
pie SO generally as already to bear
fruit. 1t Is this which Is laying the
foundation for the intelligent sobriety
Of tho future American. We would
not for a moment question the value
Of other temperance efforts which have
helped to secure these results. but the
figures show that such efforts without
temperance education were Inadequate
to produce this decline. DUTY deter
mines destiny" said President McKin-
Icy In his Omaha speech. 1t is the
legal duty OF nearly all the school
boards and teachers In this country to
see that all pupils In all schools are
taught the nature and effects of alco-
holic drinks and other narcotics. to-
gether with other la VS. of health. The
way IN which that duty is performed
during the next fifteen years will in
nuence nightly the destiny of this
nation. The God of nations Is calling
us so to educate our people that this
calamity may be averted from those

EIGHTH WARD SANcUlNE.

A short business meeting of the Eighth
Ward Democratic Club was held last
evening. Encouraging reports were heard
from the committees conducting the ward
campaign. Success is heard on all sides
A supreme effort is being made to cafry
the ward for the entire Democratic ticket,
a feat not accomplished in years. The
members are sanguine of polling large
enough vote for the Register candidate,
James c. Clarke to beat out the Repub-
lican candidate in the ward.
Final instructions were given to the
workers for election day. Addresses were
made by some of the members Mr..
James Luby delivered an interesting talk
on the condition of the city's finances.
He touched on the administration of the
Democratic party ard told, in most
convincing manner, how the expenses OF
running the various departments had de-
creased. A point he made was the steady
reduction of the tax rate since the Dem
ocratic officials assumed command of the
city offices, thus giving the taxpayers
the kind of government promised.
