Every castaway casts himself away.
Soul and body cannot both be in

YillalnY of tho Saloon.

The average saloon ought to be con-
demned. 1t is generally on a prominent
street, and it is usually run by sport who
cares only for the almighty dollar. From
this resort the drunken man starts reeling
to his home; at this resort the local fights
are INDUCED in. 1t is a stencil in the nos.
trils of society and disgrace to the wine
and spirit trade. How, then, shall we de-
lend the average saloon? We answer,
Don't defend it, but condemn it. We must
stand abreast of the most advanced public
sentiment; we must oppose prohibition.
but favor only decent trade; we must of.
fer society substitute for the average sa.

Most Pernicious Doo.rine.

sensible men is that because the whisky

not obey the statutes enacted by society
for its own protection, therefore the pro.
per thing to do is to compromise with him,
to knee1 before him, to let him have his
way in part. begging him, meantime, to be

STONE OPPOSES QUARANTINE.
Sends Vigorous Protest to Governor
Yates on Subject.

A dispatch from Harrisburg, Pa, yester-
day says: Gov. Stone has taken prompt ac-
ton to raise the quarantine which has been
ordered by Gov. Yates OF Illinois against
Pennsylvania cattle on account of the foot
and mouth disease, which exists among
cattle in the New England states. Gov.
Stone wrote letter to Gov. Yates protest
ing against his action and advising him
that there has been no such disease in this
state since 1882; that there has been none
in New York, and there is none and has
been none in New Jersey.
TO quarantine against Pennsylvania is
to say, in effect continues Gov. Stone,
that the cattle of Pennsylvania are dis
eased or suspected. There is no shadow OF
truth in the aspersion, and which will seri
ously injure the export of cattle from all
the states, as they nearly all pass through
Pennsylvania en- route to port for export
THE effect of your order is to say that
there is danger of foot and mouth disease
infection in the states around and close to
the points of New York. Philadelphia and
Baltimore. Your action may cause an I'M
justifiable scare that will injure the whole
export trade in. live animals In this country.
THE foot and mouth disease in the United
States is confined to a territory within
radius of 100 miles from Boston. / hope
that you will withdraw your quarantine or
der against those states not infected and
against which the Federal authorities find
no reason to quarantine. BY so doing you
will not only undo an injustice TO Pennsyl-
vania but you will also undo in part a Sc
rious injury to export trade of the whole
country.
The governors letter to Gov. Yates is
also signed by DR.. Leonard Pearson, secre-
tary of the Pennsylvania state live stock

place after a banquet, after which the band

The emperor asked the band to play an old
cavalry march. composed in 1402. called
"Steerdebeker," which Won Moltke himself,
one of the finest amateur musicians In Ger

curiosity. Thereupon his majesty took the
baton and conducted several old Hanover

He afterward handed the baton to Won
Moltke who directed several of his own
compositions. The next day Emperor VIII
