| is brewer, why is it that the wealthy
men who are not brewers. but who
sympathize speechfully with the w. G..
t. q. have not responded so literally
that it would have been unnecessary to
ask Mr.. Busch for money! Mr.. Busch s
brewing business has not killed charity
in his heart It is strange that none
of the enemies of Gambrinus had ST.
900 worth of sympathy for the needs
of this college in Oklahoma.
The ladies of the w. c. L. U. are
absurd because, in their animadver-
sions upon Mr. Busch and his business,
they are making an attack upon the
institution that has done more for tenn
perance than all the preaching ever
INDUCED in against the Demon Rum.
Beer has destroyed drunkenness in
America. Thirty years ago drunkenness
was almost the national vice. Before
the rise and development of the brew
ing industry in this country it is known
that drunkenness was much more
prevalent than it is to-day. Synchro-
nously with the increase of the con-
sumption of beer there has been, as
statistics tell, decrease in drunken
ness in every large city in the Union
and in the world. AS beer has come
into more general use, beer has be-
come purer; as beer has become purer
its Intoxicating effects have been min
imized; as the use of beer has spread.
the habit of temperance has spread !;
as the habit of temperance has spread.
the community has been uplifted in all
mental and spiritual things. The gut
ter drunkard is almost thing un-
known where he was hideously COM
mon. Beer has been the salvation of
the American people from intemper-
ance. 1t has been the salvation of the
laborer from the loss of employment
through the whiskey debauch. And,
to-day, the development of the bottled
beer industry is introducing the drink
ing of beer in the homes, initiating
against saloon drinking, against the
evil result of treating, against the
waste of time by men before the bar.
against all the old allurements of the
fast life of towns. These assertions
are all uncontroverted save by fanatics.
who continue to talk as though the
time still fingered when Chief Justice
of the United States was almost as
noted for his drinking as for his brains,
when Senators reeled and hiccoughed
in the Senate chamber, and when to
be drunkard was almost prima facie
evidence of intellectual distinction, &C.
tual or latent. The rise of beer marks
the downfall of intemperance. - st.

An Imperlallstic Programme.

The minority report of the commit
tee on territories clearly exposes the
purpose of the administration in the
matter of legislation for Hawaii. 1t
is the purpose of the annexationists to
make radical departure in legisla-
ton for the government of territories.
and if the Hawaiian scheme succeeds
who can say that an effort will not be
made to make the same law operative
in the home territories But the
minority report ventilates the whole
business SO thoroughly that it is doubt
full if the administration will dare
push its measure. The most imperial
istic of the several provisions of the
bill are those which make certain
judgeships life appointments, and en-
powers the judges with authority to
pass upon the qualifications of the
members of the legislature. In all the
legislative bodies of this country the
bodies are themselves the sole judges
of the qualifications of their members.
1t will be seen very readily that the
plan is to have partisan court en-
powered with authority to unseat
members of the legislative branch of
the government at its own sweet will.
Under such an arrangement friendly
majority could always be counted up
on, no matter if the people returned an
opposition majority. Then, by ap-
pointing the judges for life, the repub-
lican party would be sure of its con-
troll OF the machinery of the govern
ment in any event. In fact, the life
judges would be indirectly the legisla-
tive authority and there would be no
appeal from their decision: even the
will of the people would be of no avail
The basis of our system of government
is the separate and distinct, though
co operative functions of the executive
legislative and judicial departments.
This the ad dministration proposes to
change so far as the territory of Ha-
wall is concerned by making the leg
islative kind of an annex to the
courts, and the executive an autocrat

Beer and Charity.

Mr.. Adolphus Busch recently gave
to Congregational College in Okla
homa $500, duplicating his previous
donation to that institution.
Now comes the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union and declares that
it will boycott the college if the di-
rectors accept Mr.. Busch's money. The
objection of these ladies is that the
money was made in the manufacture
and sale of beer.
The ladies of the W. C. T. q. are
peculiar. They insult Mr.. Busch
gratuitously for doing a good deed.
They proclaim that his $500 was made
in beer, when, in fact, it may have
been the increment of any one OF an
hundred enterprises and investments
in which Mr.. Busch is interested. He
did not stentatiously thrust the money
upon the college. He was asked for
cause of education. He gave it grace
fully and quietly. and the only adver-
tisement in it for him has been the
wanton, insulting impugning of mis-
motives by body OF women profess
ing to be Christians. These ladies
throw mud at an action conceived in
kindly and helpful spirit of encourage
ment of religion, education and gentle
ness. Furthermore they interpose
their acrid personalities in an affair
with which they have nothing to do.
And again these ladies cruelty the de-
cencies by raising such howl as must
tend to obstruct the directors of the
college in their efforts to build up a
fine institution of learning where, but
a few years ago, there was a wilder
ness.
The thing to look at in a donation
like this by Mr.. Busch is its intent,
the spirit that prompts it. To what
better use could money be put, howev-
