Drunkenness.

Drunkenness is the most tremendous
and far-reaching question before the ma
ton today. 1t is doing more to weaken
our true manhood than all other things
combined. 1t seems that we are willing
to continue to sell our manhood for a
mess of pottage The humanitarian spir-
it that seized our nation and caused it to
wage war with Spain at such great loss
of life and money, should move it to pro-
tect her sons against this'giant evil that
stares her in the face. intemperance
lies directly, or indirectly, at the bottom
of all social and political mischief II
paralyzes our best energies, brings glar-
ing poverty to multitudes, and is the
great obstacle to all moral, social and po-
litical reform 1t breeds and nourishes
an evilly-inspired power of ignorance and
vice that battles intelligence and virtue.
1t brutalizes millions. and fills our CEN
ters Of influence with grade of humani-
ty that poisons the generations vet to
come. What shall be done, or what can
be done to stay this mighty tide OF evil
in our lando Shall we look to our law
making power for relief from this
scourge? Disappointed will we be if we
look to this source. for it is largely under
the influence Of the whisky power. Shall
we look to our political parties. which
fain such an interest in the welfare of the
dear people? No. for it is next to an i'm
possibility to elect any man to an Office
who has asserted himself to be opposed
to this destructive evil. With this fact
before ms no party can DC for the best
interest of the people which allies itself
with this power. No party can repre-
sent the noble aspiration of this nation so
long as il allows this cause of misery and
crime to flourish by its protection. Shall
We look to our churches for protection a.
gainst the ravages of intemperanceo We
regret to have to answer this question in
the negative, but facts force US to do 50.
When men. who represent the principles
set forth by the Savior, knowingly cast
their votes for a man that is professedly
an aiiy 10 the whisky power, what relief
can we expect Of them9 When men Of
the church engage in this nefarious bust
ness. and officers Of the congregation are
seen drinking at the bar. pray tell me
what may be expected from them The
time has come when the churches should
take radical steps to eradicate this evil
and to protect their young against It's
destructive power. Let Temperance or
CARNATIONS be formed, and the evils Of
intemperanoe'be shown in all their hide
business, until the children are thorough

GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS.

correspondence, has secured from the

spndles and looms in, each, from the mills
already in operation and those actually

business since 1880 is indicated by the
following table:
June. !. Dec. ]. Dec. l. Feb. l.

Spindles $50 25s 4,1o5 667 s. 361
Looms 49,. 39,231 $500 1O329S 147,72S
The list includes all the cotton-spin-
ming and weaving mills, but not the knit
ting mills. 1t may be we'll. however. to
add that in the latter department Of tex
tile manufacture there has been a de-
cided forward movement in 1899. Accord
ing to the list as carefully compiled by
the Manufa cturers Record, there now
seventy-three new mills actually under
construction. These will be equipped with
q total of 745S40 spinGles and 1880 looms.
