A TEMPERANCE SERMON.

Rev. &. e. Scudder preached last
Sunday evening i'm the NJ. E. church,
Il sermon on Temperance He read
from the books of dicipline of his
church and the Presbyterian, and al
so letters of the Bishops, extracts
showing the decidedly antogonistic
grounds which the churches and lead
ing men occupy with respect to the
traffic in, and sale and use of, intoxi-
eating drinks. He advocated local
option, urged his hearers to vote as
they talked and prayed and to be con-
sistent christians i'm adhearing to the
deliverances of their church on the
subject. Statistics show that the an
nual per capita consumption of wine,
beer and spirits in this country is now
on the decrease and has been so for
two or three years. There may be
two reasons assigned for this, either II
moral awakening on the question, or
the course now pursued by many of
our large corporations, notably rail-
road, which refuse to employ or re-
tain in service men addicted to drink.
Our license flaws are framed to
restrain the sale of liquors, and, were
they strictly enforced, no minor, per-
lsp ns1Ifnfg1 tg Iufs s,,N 1
person could obtain liquor at the bars
of our saloons at any time. These
laws are stringent but to a great ex-
tent they are not observed. The liq-
uOr question is a practical one and
must be so treated. Theoretically it
might seem that to abolish drinking
places would also abolish the habit,
and could prohibition be made uni
versal in this country there might be
an enforced decrease in the quantity
of drink consumed, because of the
difficulty in procuring it, but its sur
reptitious manufacture, sale and con-
sumption would yet go ON, and while
there would be the expense entailed
in the care of paupers made by the
use of it there would be no revenue
derived from those selling it.
If temperance people would firmly
and persistently unite in enforcing
the laws now on our statute books,
when they had succeeded in so doing
drunkenness would be reduced to a
minimum and the next step, viz, to-
tally abolishing the sale would be
comparatively easy because the great
majority would be with them. When
politicians find that the saloon can
only be used according to its legiti-
mate intent they will have no further
use for it. Let temperance men GO
on in their effort to eradicate the curse
of fdrink from thecountry, bullet them
also i'm the meantime use their most
strenuous efforts to strictly enforce
the present laws and in this they will
have the combined support of the
moral men Of both parties, and the
community generally. This end is,
with the aid of the courts and public
sentiment, now attainable, the Other
cannot be reached until those who
sell and those who drink to excess are
made to understand the meaning ano
spirit of the license laws, and wher
this is done the profit to the sellel
will be so small that he will retire
from the business, and the drmkel
will derive no pleasure from his ha
bits because he will not be allowed t
drink to excess.

WHAT OF THE CENSUS?

An interesting problem in census
enumeration is presented by the recent
vote in this county. The census gives
Boulder county 2I,544 inhabitants. Now
what percentage OF these people are
votersl What is the basis of calculation?
Since women have voted IN Colorado,
all basis has been conjectural. 1t is
known, for instance that nearly one half
of 2I,544 persons registered for this
lection-some ,hing like 1880. OF these
o.I66 voted for presidential electors.
Now 0.I66 seems a heavy poll OUT of a
total of 2I,544 men, women and children.
The question for the PRISON who delights
in calculation is, are halfthe population
voters? If not, hasn't The census of
Boulder county been very poorly taken ?
