Memorial Day passed off very sstistac

A STARTLING ANALYSIS.

The Baptist Argus louisville, Ky.),
suggests the intimate relation of the
saloon to the assassination OF Presi-
dent Mckinley as follows:
The American saloons are the nest
ing places of anarchy in all it's multi
piled forms and expressions. They are
the deadly enemies to law and order.
They are the schools of all manner
of lawlessness, eating ulcers, rotting
out the heart Of patriotism and 10y
atty to every form Of government.
No man ever goes at step to the aw-
full extreme of. the assassin. He must
60 through stages of preparation. His
finer feelings must be brutalized. His
reverence must be destroyed. Before
he is fit for such direful work, the
common instincts of humanity must
become demoniZed

to restrain the Qiquor) business are
thought Of, spoken about and resented
as despotic interference with that
large liberty of which they regard
Governments of all sorts are despised.
Youth are trained to depise home gov

engines Of oppression. The laws of
the land are held in contempt. Gen.

America is a vast organized conspir-

WHY Men Don't Marry.

The Rev. L. M. Isitt, speaking at
York, Eng, said the matters of court
ship and marriage were of too solemn
and holy a character to be lightly COM
mented OH, but why was it that there
were so many young men who were
described as Of the unmarrying order?
It was said that the young men could
not afford to get married. Why? Liv-
ing was cheaper than it used to be,
and men now earned more than their
fathers received. The answer was that
the liquor traffic had got such hold
on the young men of the age, who.
though it might be never drank to ex-
cess, still wasted day by day and week
by week such considerable sums that
they never would be able to get mar
ried.

M'KINLEY ON TEMPERANCE.


When in San Francisco a few months
ago, the late President Mckinley at
tended social and temperance league
for young men. When introduced to
the great crowd he said: Il wish l
had fitting words with which to- ex-
press the sentiments Of my heart for
this beautiful greeting I am glad to
know that you are associated for the
purpose of temperance; that you are
determined to lead sober and temper
ate lives. Soberness, is essential to
success in our lives. There is no tenn
perance lesson more potent than tenn
perate life in the individual. May you
in your manhood realize the blessings
that are sure to come from keeping the
pledge you have made In your youth.
Our country needs temperate. patri-
otto, moral men. You have everything
to live for. No other country affords
such splendid opportunities for young
men. Every door to success is open tc
you. There never was q time In all
human history when the sober, indus
tri, moral and intelligent young man
had such rewards awaiting him. Clean
hands and clean hearts with lots Of in
dustry will win In private business
and in public life. Thank God. there
are no class distinctions in our coun-
try. The poor boy can rise to its high
est honors as we'll as the richest"

Always Ready.

The Ameer Of Afghanistan is said to
have made the following statement:
II am always ready as soldier on
the march to battle, in such a man
ner that could start without any de-
lay in case of emergency. The pockets
Of my coats and trousers are always
filled with loaded revolvers and one or
two 1oaves OF bread for one days food
this bread is changed every day. Sew
eral guns and swords are always lying
by the side of my bed or the chair
on which I am seated within reach
of my hand. and saddled horses are
always kept ready in front of my Of
fee, not only for myself, but for all
my courtiers and personal attendants,
at the door Of my durbar room. I
have also ordered that a considerable
number Of gold coins should be sewn
into the saddles of my horses when
required for a journey, and on both
sides of the saddles are two revolvers
I think it is necessary in such a war;
like country that the sovereign, and
especially sovereign who is SOL
der himself, should always be as pre-
pared for emergencies as a soldier on
the field of battle. Though my country
is perhaps more peaceful and safe now
than many other countries, still one
can never be too cautious and too well
prepared. Family Herald.

To Cultivate Ruhl,er.

The Los Andes Rubber. Lumber apd
Fruit company Of Guatemala and New

will be down in the rubber country In
the next few days, and the work of the
company will 60 forward at once. The
officers Of the company are all New

Incorporated under the laws of Louisi-

a large scale, and to manufacture the
raw product here. The plans contem-
plate the establishment of factory In

several valuable concessions, and Is

tries in Central America to look at the

There never was a clearer case Of
Matching and nurturing vipers in, the

American Flour in England.

A London paper complains that the
English markets are now being food
ed to greater extent than ever before
with American flour. According to
this report, the American exporters
have been sending over flour in small
bags that were convenient in size, and
yet were sold at the same rate as were
barrels This catering for the retail
trade, the paper states, is something
new in the export -four business from
the United States. and it is growing
at such a rate that it threatens dull
market for English flours for the rest
of the current year. Bag -four has, OF
course, been sold in this country for
many years, and it is convenience to
the small customers. If it has never
been tried before in Great Britain. we
do not doubt that the move will be
popular one, though it seems very
strange that the experiment has not
saen attempted .efore this.-Boston

INDIANAPOLIS. GAIN.

The official returns Of the municipal
election in Indianapolis gave James b.
DUNCAN, Prohibition candidate for
mayor, 1856 votes, ninety per cent
gain over the Woolley vote. This Is
the high water mark for Prohibition
lists in the Hoosier state capital. The
campaign was conducted with q vim
and vitality that astounded old party
politicians, asd despite an apathy on
the part of the great mass of the peo-
pie that neither the Republicans nor
the Democrats were able to dispel. A
complete city organization, with ward
and precinct chairmen alive to every
opportunity of the campaign was a
prominent factor in the fine showing
made. The Prohibitionists are already
planning a twelve months state cam
paign for the state election OF 1902.
Every worker in the party Is heartily
encouraged over the results of the mu-
nicipal contest and the efficient cam
paign that achieved them.

THE DRUNKARp PICTURED.


"In vino veritas."-a man shows his
real self when in drink,-is not al
ways true. but it is true that man
brings up his worst self to the sur
face then. The drunkard's maudlin
affection and noble sentiments soon
pass into filthy talk, and he becomes
as disgusting as before he was alb
surd. The portrait painter follows
him. as he passes from the excited to
the drowsy stage, and compares him
to a man who should try to fling
himself down to rest in the heart of
the sea, or, in an equally uneasy bed,
on the top OF a mast.
We all know what preposterous
places tipsy man will lie down in
to sleep OF his debauch-in field,
or on a railway track, or anywhere
that chances. But the point here
seems to be, not so much the r1dicu-
loue appropriateness of the resting
place chosen, as the whirling instead
mess felt by the poor sot that lies
huddled up there. His brain Is rock
ing, as if he were heaved up and down
with the waves. or as If he were

the rolling ship, whose topmast de-
scribes a greater arc than its deck.
Half sober, the man wakes to count
his bruises and cuts. How he came
by them he does not know, but, to his
wonder, there they are; and all that
ne can say about them is, "They have
beaten me- but who they were, or
why he was beaten, he cannot tell.
The excitement has passed, but the
black eyes and bleeding cuts have not.
But even while he ruefully reckons
his bruises, the appetite revives, and
is wide awake before he is. Halt
asleep, he wishes to be all right again,
and the craving for drink stiles re-
morse, conscience and common sense.
All that he can think of is, II will
seek it yet again." All our vices deal
with us as cats do with mice,-they
let us go little way, and then fix
their claws and drag their prey back
again. Drink is one Of the greatest
oppressors and crue1est Pharaohs of
them all, and comes after the fugi-
tives, and too often hales them back.
The drunkard has constantly di-
minishing pleasure in his vice, bu.
a constantly increasing craving for it,
and drinks at last, not because he
wishes to drink, but because he can
not do without it or bear to be sober.
The picture has darkened in it's shades.
It began with the absurd and passed
to the disgusting, but it ends with the
tragic picture of the slave who cannot
get rid of the fetters The only abSO-
lutte safety is touch not, taste not,
handle not"-Alexander McLaren,

To make it's presence felt: there is
