Cannot BE Overstated.

The alarm expressed by the New
York Medical Journal that the effects
of alcohol should be the subject of ex-
travagant overstatement has a familiar,
far off sound of century ago. An in
stance is given, as an example. which
appeared in the Journal of Inebriety, ,
concerning the degeneracy of the fam
lily of moderate drinkers. Every city
and almost every town in the country
contains examples far more significant
than this one, in which the effects of
alcohol are clearly traceable in the de-
fects of the children. 1t is practically
impossible to overstate the damage and
injurious influence of alcohol, and the
old caution of century ago is lost in
the light of recent scientific investiga-
tions. The fear now is of undertaking
and minimizing the dangers from al
cohol by clinging to the worn-out de-
lusions of alcohol as tonic and food.

Save Your Cattle.

Blackleg is almost invariably fatal.
When an animal has once been at
tackled, no treatment is of the least
avail, and death follows in the course
of two or three days. While black
leg resists every form of treatment
and Is so rapidly fatal in its effect, it
is very easy to prevent its spread.
Science has come to the relief of the

Story Not True.

Not long ago the Cody Enterprise,
a weekly paper published by Colonel
Cody and j. II. Peake, printed a
highly sensational story TO the effect
thGt the Rev. Gibson Of San Francisco
lad made dying confession that it
was he who murdered Blanche La.
mont and Minnie Williams in church
in San Francisco. The story was de-
MED by the Rev. Gibson himself, and
now the Enterprise comes out with
statement that the information for
the article was obtained through a
Billings, Montana, paper. The En-
terprise story created sensation at
the time Of its publication and was
copied by large number of western
papers.-Laramie Republican.-TIt
will be remembered by readers of the
Union that at the time We made ref
erence to the story from the Cody
Enterprise, We also discredited it.
The above clipping seems to verify
our opinion expressed at that time,
that the charge against the Rev Glib
son was untrue, and made for sensa.
tional effect.

Among Our Exchanges.

The steadily advancing price of pa
per has forced some publishers who
have been using fine book stock to
adopt common news print in order to
keep their publications alive. This
is another instance of trust influence
in which the people get the worst of
the deal.-Ficld and Farm.
For some years prior to 1896 the
Standard oil trust dividends amount
ed to II per cent year. 1t now de-
clares quarterly dividend of 10 per
cent, following upon 20 per cent
declaration for the first three months
Of this year-making 80 per cent for
six months. Dividends for four
years past have averaged about 32
per cent annually. The power of
this monopoly over the people ap-
pears to be practically unlimited, and
to be increasing as time passes

stated by one Of the speakers at the
New York missionary conference
Sunday night that 81 month would
suffice to support the life of q single
person in the famine district Of India
Thus it may be said that the British
government is currently expending
enough money in killing people in

Horrible Loss of Life

Coal Mines.

The terrible loss of human life that
occurred in the coal mines recently
in Utah is appalling; hundreds Of
lives of poor, honest miners being
blot1ed out by one explosion, and
other scores Of lives sacrificed In a
vain attempt to rescue the unfortun-
ates, presents spectacle overwhelm-
ing in the intensity of the sorrow and
grief it must bring to the homes of
hapless victims. Is it any wonder
that when loving husband with his
two sons went to work in their mine
on that fated morning, and being
soon reported dead, and another son
ran to their rescue and soon lost his
life, that the little 16 year old sister
so stunned and overwhelmed fell
prone on the floor to be lifted up a
corpse? And then the sorrow of the
wife and mother. All our attempts

A Non-Partisan View.

Quite naturally great deal will be
said about the Acknowledgement of
the negro in North Carolina. The
republicans will make much of it for
purely partisan reasons, if there were
no other. It Is a question. however,
whether it is such bad thing. Many
republicans voted for it. Many in
fuentisl negroes voted for it; the en-
tire faculty of enc college for the
colored race Is cited as an instance.
On the face of it the proposition to
deprive any portion of American citl-
zens in any state of their rights of
franchise would seem wrong-entire-
~ unjustif1able. But were it fact
that the mass of voters of North Car
olina or any other state were litter
ate, and yet possessed such major
ity as to absolutely control the gov
eminent of the state, would it not be
a bad thing for the commonwealth
thus controlled How would they
use that power? It would be infin-
Itely better to give the ballot to good
women and permit them to say who
shall make and administer the lewe,
yet this the men will not do. Politi-
cal boss rule in any state is bad
enough, but no one can gainsay that
the politicians possess intellectual
ability. They would not be pollti-
CLANS if they did not have it. As the
democrats have been given control of
the state of North Carolina by the
majority of the white voters of the
state, irrespective of party, assisted
by the more advanced element of the
coIored population. the people of that
state doubtless see, through this
means. better condition of affairs.
