Nets to Catch Workmen.

Assemblyman Butler of the New
York legislature has introduced a bill
designed to protect men who are COM
PEELED to work on high buildings and
on bridges. 1t provides that every con-
tractor responsible for such work shall
cause nets to be hung SO that in case
of accident a workman would fall into
the net.
II think I would be safe in saying
that half hundred men have been
killed or seriously injured on high
buildings and bridges in New York city
during the last year, said Mr.. Butler.
:Three men have fallen from the
East river bridge. The body of one of
them was not recovered. Since the last
accident two tugs have been stationed
in the East river for the purpose of
picking up any men who may fall into
the river from the bridge.

ORIGIN OF -TlPPCING.
One Writer Claims That Drunkards
Are Made In the Nursery.

One Writer Claims That Drunlards
Are Made In the Nursery.
Nursery Made Drunkards'' is the
startling caption of recent editorial in
the Cincinnati Post. The Post believes
that many mothers are innocently man
ufacturing drunkards out of their chill
dren. 1t says:
The origin of tipping, says an edito-
rial writer in the Hospital, may some
times be traced back to nursery habits.
This is putting it mildly The whole
fact is that much of the drunkenness
commonly considered hereditary is due
to defective training in childhood.
In this the mother who neglects her
child is less at fault than the we'll
meaning but thoughtless one who over
INDUCES in kindness.
The boy who is permitted to immedi-
ately relieve every internal discomfort
by putting something into his stomach
is acquiring the habit that in little
different form is known as drunken
ness.
These sensations of emptiness or
faintness grow as they are pampered.
It is but a short step from the biscuit
and candy habit to tobacco and still
shorter one from tobacco to strong
drink.
It may seem to those who know the
liquor habit only specifically that this
stomach uneasiness can have little to
do with it, and that the real source is
in desire for exhilara ton of spirit, for
Maynard sociability and in general
cussedness.
But the man who knows what the
thing is-knows it so we'll that he has
tried to analyze it and master twill
tell you that the craving which he now
seeks to satisfy with liquor is precisely
the same as that which in his childhood
was pampered by ''piecing."

A LESSON FROM THE PAST
How the Demon Drink Overcame
Alexander the Great.

How the Demon Drink Overcame
Alexander the Great.
Alexander the Great conquered mill
lions Of men. He began in his youth by
conquering a rebellious horse, soon
passed to the conquest Of armies, and
he lived and died conqueror. Obsta-
cles only added to his reputation, and
his enemies before him were chaff and
dust.
But one thing conquered him-drink!
1t conquered so thoroughly, says an ed
itorial in the New York American, that
the greatest of AleXander's victories
was as nothing to the victory of alcohol
over Alexander.
1t made him jealous and mean when
he was naturally magnanimous, it
made him false friend, it made him a
murderer, it made him an invalid, and
it killed nina very complete series Of
victories, as you will admit.
If among all of those who have lived
on earth we could select any man to
talk against excessive drinking, we
should select Alexander the Great, and
we should ask him for his opinion Of
alcohol on the morning following the
banquet at which he murdered his
friend, the man who had saved his life.
Alexander the Great was not writ
er, but he was strong thinker and a
powerful manufacturer Of short, strong
phrases, as is shown in his letters to
his teacher, Aristotle, and to others.
When he awoke that morning and his
confused thoughts shaped themselves
to tell him that he had murdered the
man he liked best in the world, he
could have written a temperance SER
mon more powerful than will ever come
from a temperate man.

A CHURCH COMMISSION,

Latest Suggestion For Organized
Work Against Liquor Traffic.
Prompted thereto by the action of the
Canadian Methodist Episcopal confer
ence in electing a secretary Of temper
ance work for the Dominion writer
in the Epworth Herald suggests plan
looking to the appointment of gen.
eral temperance commission from the
churches.
Let" he says, "the great Methodist
Episcopal church at her next confer
ence appoint a commission Of three or
more of her greatest men and most in
auential leaders, not only in the tenn
perance reform, but in the church her
self. Let those three men urgently re-
quest the other great denominations at
their general assemblies and conven-
tons to unite in one great national
temperance commission, to meet in con-
venti0n and remain assembled until
such plans have been matured and an
appeal made to the Christian and moral
people of our country, embodying the
political as we'll as the moral features
Of the problem"
The plan strikes us as being step in
the right direction and feasible. says
! the Union Signal. Concerted, concen-
trated, consecrated effort on the part of
the churches against the common foe
would soon bring victory. Let the
church of God with it's moral power
and all it's mighty machinery come to
the rescue!

A DEMOCRATIC LEADER.

Another significant Incident, show
ing the trend of the democr attic party,
took place when the extra session of
the senate met. The democratic sena
tors elected Senator German of Mary
land as chairman. This position
carries with it the distinction of being
the democratic leader on the floor OF
the senate.
German has just returned to the
senate after being out for four years.
he has served three terms in the SEN
ate before, and has been one of the
leading men of the democratic nation
al committee, serving one term as
chairman of said committee. His rec
ord is we'll known to all who have fol-
lowed political history for the last
two decades.
German is a cool, calculating man,
utterly devoid of sentiment, aud al
ways weighing the results of an action
instead OF thinking of the question of
right and wrong. He is a democrat,
no matter what democracy means, not
because he believes in any democratic
principles, but because his state is
normally democratic and therefore he
must be democrat in order to obtain
power. How little regard he has for
the principles of his party was plainly
illustrated in 1894. The democratic
party had come into power on q
strong tariff reform. The main part
OF the battle had been fought on that
plank. The house passed bill in
consonance with the platform. When
it came to the senate German and Hill
took hold of it and modified it until
it became so much of protectionist
measure that Cleveland would not
sign it.
When Bryan captured the demo-
cratic party German, though widely
at variance with him on every vital
point of the platform, gave him a
nominal support. He did not want
Bryan elected, but he wanted to re-
tain his standing in the democratic
purify ana ne SuCCeeQeQ.
A machine politician who thinks
first of himself and then of his party,
without wasting any thought on the
vital principles involved in any &C.
tioD, German is an ideal leader for a
party that only looks for SUCCESS,
caring nothing for how it is cb-
tanned. When it comes to mapping
out campaign, taking advantage of
the slightest mistakes of the opposi-
ton, laying special emphasis on such
part of the platform as will draw
votes in any particular locality, max
Ing secret arrangements with the plut-
ocrats so as to get good campaign
fund, and using that fund so as to
get the most results from 1t, German
stands without a peer in the demo-
cratic party. With him as leader the
party will stand more of chance OF
success than under any other man,
and p victory will mean less than if
won under any other leader.
German may be presidential pos
'sibility, but the chances are that he
will prefer to get some piable man as
candidate, one that has no record to
defend, but IN whom the plutocrats
place implicit confidence. German
will probably manage the campaign,
make the secret promises to the money
lords and see that those promises are
kept, leaving to the platform and the
speakers to make the promises to the
people, which promises will, of course,
not be kept.
