CANTEEN LIES REFUTED.

A committee appointed by the Bap-
tist, Disciples, Methodist and Presby-
terian ministers meetings of Chicago
to investigate the truth of the reports
that drunkenness, disorder and crime
had largely increased in the vicinity
of army posts since the abolition of
the sale of liquor at the canteens has
visited Fort Sheridan, near Chicago,
and HighWood, the village where the
disorder is said to have taken place.
Their report denies the stories about
recent riOting by drunken soldiers at
HighWood. HighWood was not under
martial law. Special patrols of SOL
diers were not sent into the village to
quell disturbances or to arrest enlist
licensed there since last July. The
commission also learned that property
was not destroyed as was reported
and that no saloon fixtures were de-
molished. Testimony shows that the
two pay days which have passed since
the anti-canteen law went into ef-
feet have been quiet and orderly in
comparison with similar days within
recent months when beer was sold in
the canteen.
Col. Van Horn, commandant, did
not treat the committee courteously
Among others things he charged that
the commission was prejudiced, had
it's mind made up and was determined
upon making report favorable to
the anti-canteen law.

FIGHTING JOE" AGAINST THE
CANTEEN.

A meeting at the rooms of the Ma
tional Temperance Society, New York,
early this month, was made interest
ing by the presence and address OF
Gen. Joseph Wheeler Among othei
things he said that he believed that
fully one-half the young men who had
enlisted in the army during the last
four years came from good homes,
and had been brought up to let liquor
alone. He considered it wrong for the
government to take this class of
young men, and place them in the
army where their only chance for
recreation was in the presence of a
bar. The army, he said, should be
managed on business principles. If it
is wise for corporations and business
men to require total abstinence from
their employees, it is equally wise for
the government to encourage total alb
stinence in the army. The general
favored maintaining the anti-canteen
law, and securing more liberal appro-
priations from Congress to support
temperance canteens and reading
rooms.

MAN AS WELL AS SHERIFF.

Sheriff Pearson, Of Portland, Me-,
elected on straight Prohibition
party ticket, continues to make life a
burden both to the jointists and to
the Republican politicians, who say
that If Pearson enforces the law in
Cumberland county it will kill the Re-
publican party" He is keeping illicit
vendors on the run. They can never
be certain that he or his deputies will
not bob up through crack in the
floor.
For 25 years Mr.. Pearson has been
city missionary and both he and his
wife are greatly loved by the poor.
While very busy bringing law viola
tors to justice, the sheriff still finds
time to save men.
A correspondent of one of our ex-
changes writes from Portland:
Sheriff Pearson spends most of his time
with the prisoners. He goes from cell to
cell inquirlng into each case, and it is no
uncommon sight to see him kneeling at a
cell or praying for it's inmate.
when a man comes to be freed from
prison there is something more than mere
unlocking Of the prison bars. There is
last talk with the sheriff and a prayer be-
fore the doors are thrown open. Not one
of the men discharged since Sheriff Pearson
took hold has since come back for another
OtfenSe, though this was very common for
merly, and the number OF prisoners under
his care is a third less. When he took hold
there were 139 inmates; now there are but
SO. He hopes to reduce the average to 70.

The reliability of the inspired" ut

LIE Reliability Ol Lue luSplfeu uI-
terances on the canteen question
which are now emanating from the vi
cinity of the War Department, has
been illustrated in this vicinity in the
last few days.
The Pioneer Press of the Oath inst.
contained a dispatch from Washing
ton to the effect that reports from
commanders OF army posts continue to
assert and prove the disastrous effects
OF the abolition of the canteen. 1t
quoted the commanding officer at Fort
smelling as asserting that never in
the history OF the Eighth regiment
nave the officers had so much trouble
as since the post canteen was abol
lshed." Deserlions are more frequent,
and trouble is caused for the officials
OF the adjacent cities. Fen men are
IN the guard house from two COM
panles, whereas formerly there were
seldom more than three from an entire
regiment. Other startling illustra-
tlons' are given.
On the day following the publication
of the above the same paper published
the result of an interview with Col.
kay, commandant at Fort Smelling, in
which he denies that he has made any
official report on the canteen question.
He says that drunkenness and deser-
tions have not increased at Fort Smell
Ing since the abolition of the canteen,
tnat new saloons have not sprung up
about the post, and that the canteen
cuts absolutely no figure in discipline.
Col. Ray maintains that if beer is
necessary Tor the soldier, it should be
furnished by the government as part
OF the regular ration. But he insists
that it is not right to compel an officer
to become saloOnkeeper in the man
agement of the canteen. He favors
the appointment of post trader under
the control of the commanding officer.
The company reading room plan at
Fort Smelling, adopted since the can
teen went, Col. Ray says, has been
most successful. Reading rooms have
been fitted up in the company bar
racks, where the men may lounge.
Cigars, fruit and the like are on sale
at prices about third less than at the
old canteen, the profits going into the
company fund. The company is the
family of the army, and the company
plan encourages company spirit, al
ways desirable in the army, and it
keeps the men at home.
One trouble with the canteen, in
! Col. Rays opinion, is that the desire
to swell the receipts for the benefit oil
the men tends to laxness of control
defeating the purpose of the canteen
In fact, in all his experiences, he has
seen but one decently managed can
| teen.

Massacre Of the |nnocents.

DIDN'T LET THEM

Work of the Saloon in the Twin Cities
The Hamilton-Day murder.

The Barry murder.
The death of Marks while under the

And now the murder of VIM. Rosen-
fields four innocent and helpless lit
tie children by their fathers hand, and
his own suicide.
And all this in the Twin Cities alone
in the last few months, and largely or
wholly due to the murderous drink
and the LEGAL saloon!
William Rosenfeld was a drunk
ard. His wife left him on account of
his habits three months ago and was
living in Minneapolis. The baby was
in the care of it's godmother in St.
Paul and the three other children
were in Minneapolis.
His drunkenness brought about the
loss of his job. On the evening of the
same day he procured a livery rig,
took his baby to Minneapolis, secured
his three other children, who had gone
to bed, under pretense Of intending to
take them to the home of a relative
to stay, and threw them, one after the
other, into the Mississippi river from
the Marshall avenue bridge, 125 feet
above the water He then drowned
himself. His body and those of two
of the children have been found. The
head of Joseph showed that he had
probably fought for his life, but had
been beaten into insensibility before
being drowned.
Except for the drink Wm Rosen-
field was, as far as known, an orderly
citizen, an Industrious employe and a
loving husband and father. Who
ruined and then murdered him? Is
he alone responsible? Does the fact
that he was an ignorant man throw
no responsibility on his better favored
fellow men?

and vigorous talks. AS reported by
the Pennsylvania Methodist, he spoke
briefly of the success of Methodism
in the past, her present proportions,
and then of her prospects and possi-

guine as some. He believes Method
ism is going to have something of a
revival, souls are going to be convert
