seems to me it would be retrograde step
10 go back to the license system. Even
II we had but single place licensed, l
fear the amount of drinking would be
vastly increased, and it is very doubtful
II license would be restricted to single
saloon or hotel.
AS to the number who frequent these
club, supposing that the mum Der of clubs
is only thirteen, which is probably far too
low an estimate, and that each one has an
average membership of fifty, we would
have at least $50, and a thousand would
be more nearly correct, who habitually
frequent these vile resorts, and 1 will go
farther and say that do not believe this
to be an adequate statement of the extent
OF the evil. Now, if we had even one
licensed drinking place, cannot think
the amount of drinking would be dimin-
ished, rather would it reach still greater
proportions, and what assurance would
we have if we went back to the license
system, that the licensed houses would
be as some say, two or three in number.
Is it not likely the number would be far
greater.
You recall the famous struggle of the
year 1885. and the means used at that
time, when, / believe, thirteen saloons
and hotels were granted the privilege of
selling liquor. The amount brought into
the city treasury then, was in the neigh
borhood of S3C00 all for the privilege of
indulging in this iniquitous traffic, and
filling our city with drunkards.

now, we would stop at any less than this
number of licensed saloons? It is an
easy way of making a living; the tempta-
ton to go into such business is great.
Applicants would be numerous, and the
pressure brought to bear enormous. 1t is
impossible to tell where the tide of evil
would stop, if once allowed to gain head
way. As Christian men or moral men,
let us take an uncompromising stand
against this evil that is at our docs. 1t is
the duty of every good citizen to attend
the primary meetings and city conven-
tions, when delegates are elected and
nominations made,
Let US see to it that clean and good men
are nominated men who will vote and
ptCuRo tA6uls6lN6S 10 vote against license.
If our choice must be for man who will
not vote for licence, but is not so we'll
qualified in other respects, and one of
greater abilities, but who will vote for
license, let US choose the former, every
time. This idea is paramount to every
other. But do not believe the alterna-
tive mentioned will arise, nor is it neces-
sary. We can secure good and able men.
who are sound on this subject, and in
whose hands the interests, business and
otherwise, can be safely left if every voter
will do his duty in the cause that now
confronts us. This matter OF license has
nothing to do with party affiliations, and
all citizens, irrespective of party, should
join hands in trying to crush out this evil.
The time has come when we should de-
mand the enforcement of existing laws.
For this purpose we need men of great
hearts, strong minds and willing hands,
whom the lust of Office and greed for
spoils, cannot blind to- the claims of duty
and demands of justice. Only in this way
can we hope to be successful in the fight
against the evils of intempeaance.

their capacity and are getting good re-

nothing new in the rhmors concerning
the More-Jonas works. The factories
are being operated non-uniop, and since
the recent discharge of two or three men,
there has been no further agitation con.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Steelman to
prevent the use of old bottles in putting
up articles of food is a good thing for the
glass blowers, and is all right from san
itary standpoint. Old bottles are usually
associated with the idea of garbage pile
and lots of dirt. In some instances, how
ever, old bottles would answer the same
as new, and to forbid the use in such
cases would be unjust to the manufac-
turer.-Trenton IN. J.) Times.

Suddenly the shadow of a dense cloud
fitted across the scene: whereupon the
brilliant birds flew away with screams of
terror which almost seemed to reach the
ears of the onlookers through the wall.
An expression of horror came over the
faces of the people. The children broke
from their merry ring and ran for protec-
ton to their elders. The utmost confus-
ing and whelming terror were evidenced
for a moment-then the ground split asun-
der, and the house and the garden, with
all their living occupants. were swallowed
by an awful chasm which opened just
where they had stood. The great rent ran
