some phase of the temperance Qucs

ccused saloon upon the morals of
the community, lis responsibility
for crime, and the cost to the tax
payers in dollars aud cents, were
dwelt upon with emphasis The sev-

interest to the readers Of THE TIMES
to know something of the statistics
bearing upon this county.
First, we are told that 30 Grim.
inal cases disposed of aud now
pending for thc year past, or 9S
per cent. of all criminal cases, ARE
credited directly or indirectly to the
saloons. Twelve lives have been
violently taken, traced to the same
source. Following are some items
of cost in prosecuting these cases:
Prosecution OF saloon men tor
violation OF beer tax law ... I,l6o.uu
Jailors fees for prisoners ... I,o25uJ
County criminal costs 2,l5g. So

This does not include Judge 5,

II is estimated that it has and will
have cost the State and county full
~ $50 900 before the criminal eases
of the year past are finally settled |
The saloons during this period
have paid into the county and State
treasures 4l9, 2Gl, which shows, i'll
the above estimate is approximately |
correct, II loss of over ~. 900 in |
dollars and cents to the tax payers, |
to say nothing of the crimes which |

NOta del d1a

El solemne acto celebrado
anoche, en- el Ateneo Puertorri-
queiio, es de una i1nportancia
extraordinaria, y de una opor-
tunidad que no puede negarse.
La solemnidad de anoche, por
las circunstancias en- que sc rea-
liza, por las condolences del mo-
mento, tiene I'm alcance mu-
cho mas considerable Y extenso,
que 81 Sc tratase de un certamen
literario y artfstico, sencilla-
mente.
Prueba gallarda, hermosa y
perdurable, la que Sc ha da1o
con motive de Ia celebration de
anoche en- el Ateneo.
Hase puesto de relieve, pero
de un relieve 1nuy alto, Ia envj-
diable cultura del pals puerto
rriqueho, cultura extraordinaria
que 10 Sc adquiere en- cinco
amos, en- una diffusion tan gene
ralizada, nj es possible que deje
de manifestarse asi como ano-
che, en- TN radiante deslumbra-
dor alumbramiento de las inte-
ligencias, fecundas y sublimes,
para la production artistica, que
es el distintivo poderoso de la
raza, el signo caracter1stico de
este pueblo.
Els de una trascendencia tan
grande la manifestation reali-
zada anoche por los intellectual
les de la raZa, que resulta mas
signiflcativa y laboriosa; mas
duradera y fecunda esa labor de
los cerebros pensadores tan ga
llardamente exterioriZada, que
todo 10 que Sc ha hecho en- un
orden de cosas opuesto y d1stin-
to, con ilamativos reclamos y
pomposas proclamaciones de
una inanidad despreciable.
No Sc Olga que la corriente
universal esq agena a la obra que
aver ha sancionado Y aplaudido
la intelectualidad del pals. ESQ
es heretico, ESQ es falso.
La aspiration de todos los
pueblos y de todas las razas, es
la hermosa y levantada de lle-
gar al dominic esplendoroso del
Arte en- sus manifestations
m1ltiples.
A veces Sc pretende ocultar
Ell desmedrado espiritualismo
de una raza 8 de un pueblo con
ia exposition vigorosa de sus
aptitudes en- ordenes bien dis
tintos E inferiores. Pero ESQ es
una aberracion. Esto no puede
sustituir a aquello, en- manera
alguna. Triuufantes la Literatu-
ra y el Arte en- los primeros
paises civilizados, son mas po-
pulares por las producciones de
sus ingenios, por las obras de sus
artistas, que por sus productos
de I'm orden material y mecca
nlcO.
No vayan a Greer, por 10 que
dejamos escrito, los que Sc enor-
gullecen al hacer alarde de TN
egoista y brutal materialismo,
que nosotros elevados a las Sc
renas e ideales regiones del Ar
te, vamos imitar los votos
monacales, renunciando a las
cosas de la vida, a la materiali-
dad del comercio, a la mecanica
progresiva de la industria y q

pueda causar en- nosotros la pro
