THE WRONG WAY.

At the recent session of a new Ma
1ional temperance organization at Chi
cago, a Kansas City delegate made the
earnest plea that the best method of
doing away with saloons, distilleries
and breweries was to blow them into
the air with dynamite.
Dynamite as a great moral agent"
is all wrong. Violence and the destruc-
ton Of private property, even in the
cause of the public good, has never ac-
complished beneficial results, and never
viii Mankind cannot be reformed by
persecution, fire, torture or high ex-
plosives. and those who hold those views
are not wise.
Blowing up a brewery or a saloon viii
stop neither men nor women from
drinking. and some women drink
more's the pity. Reform in the drink
ing habit must come in another way,
ana that il IS coming, slowly but sure
Is, there can be no doubt. Possibly
here in Wheeling, for instance, more
spurious and malt liquors are drank
than ever before; but we have more
people than ever before, and the per
tapita consumption has certainly not
increased. There are fewer saloons
han ten years age, for example, and
there Isn't really strictly notorious
Ind first-class drunkard in town, where
Is there used TO he quite number of
hem. Few people get drunk any more;
t isn't good form. AS many people
drink, perhaps, as ever. but they drink
In moderation, and that is a distinct
gain. Dynamite reforms nothing, I'M
less it be an oil well with tendency to
cease to gush. Blowing up a saloon
because liquor is sold therein is very
much like firing freight car because
some railroad men are on strike-it
does not help to solve the question, but
only complexities matters. There is
another and better way, and in the full
ness of time it will bring abort results.

Col. Mcclure, of the Philadelphia
Times, has fallen in with the idea that
the Democracy should nominate Dewey
for President, and predicts success if
Joe Wheeler or Fitzhugh Lee be placed
on the ticket with him. The Democ-
racy would doubtless succeed with
Dewey, but they will succeed anyhow.

Is we'll worth quoting: One day dur
ing Mr.. Halls pastorate of a church
In Yorkshire, he was chatting with a
farmer about the best method of self
defence when attacked by a savage
dog. Take off your hat and hold it in
front of you," advised the farmer.
"The dog will at once bite the rim.
Then kick him violently under your
hat, and the distance being exactly that
of your leg, the toe Of your boot will
strike the lower jaw of the dog, who
will at once go off in great pain" The
very next day Mr.. Hall was crossing a
field, when a fierce dog ran at him,
There was no refuge lee He had no
stick. He remembered his lesson. In
an instant the dog rushed bowling
round the field, and the grand old dis
senter, with a very slight wound In
his hat, went his way.

FRANCISCO SILVELA,
NEW PREMIER OF THE SPANISH
MONARCHY.
He Is Said to BE Closely Allied with
the Associates in the
New Cabinet Program of Govern
mont.

Senior Don Francisco Silvela, the
new Spanish premier, was spoken Of in
the following terms by Emilio CASTELAR,,
the greatest statesman of Spain, in an
article he wrote quite recently to the
Madrid Ell Liberal: Il have to discuss
the conduct of Senior D. Francisco Sill
vela and OF Marquis de Polavieja as
my political enemies in general; but
In the private life they are both my
friends, and very good friends; so God
forbid that l should offend or ill-treat
them, thus forgetting their patriotic
and correct intentions, and the famous
and honorable names they bear. . =.
All the political tendencies of Senior
Silvela are summed up in two-which
are ultra-montanism and regionalism."
A little further on, CASTELAR,, who, after
having been a strong radical and presi-
dent Of the ephemeral Spanish republic
of 1874, has become a moderate Repub-
lican, almost rallied to the constitu-
tional monarchy, says: "Silvela admits
himself that he receives his policy and
his line of conduct from the Vatican's
counsels." The deputies of the Ma
drid Cortes who protested against the
new cabinet of Silvela by the cry
Down with the Jesuits!' were there
fore in unison with the opinion ex-
pressed by the moderate and old patri-

Cupid In the Choir Loft.

Musical and social circles in Spring
Acid. Mass. are agog over the marriage
In Fargo, n. D., of William P. Spell
man. who has been director of several
church choirs, and Miss Harriet Alden,
organist in the same choirs. Spellman
got a divorce in Fargo. His former
wife, the daughter of a Belchertown
farmer, is a frail little woman with a
placid disposition, and the Dakota di-
vorce was obtained on the grounds OF
her cruelty. Three years g Spell
man made the acquaintance of Miss
Alden, a popular organist and COM
poser. In 1897 he directed the music
in the fashionable St. Paul's Universal
list church where Miss Alden was the
organist. Spellman and Miss Alden
were in each others company 81 much
that the tongues of the gossips began
to wag. Spellman and his wife sep
arated last summer and she brought
suit for n%on-support. Spellman started
for Dakota before the papers could be
served. Miss Alden went to Fargo
last week. 1t is reported they will re-
turn to Springfield.
