The Saloon.

I am opposed to the saloon
because it is the nesting place of
crime. The saloon breeds crime.
It is where criminal plots are
concocted. It is where fights
and murders are committed. 1t
is where the scarlet woman re-
sorts for patronage. tits where
the police are mostly needed. 1t
is where officers of the law go
when wishing to ferret out some
criminal. It is where men are
directly robbed Of their money
if not by the bartender him
self, then by some of the saloons
frequenters.
The saloon is the mother of
corrupt politics. Why have we
so many officers in our city gov
ernment that are vile and incom-
petent? Simply because they
are made by the saloons. The
saloon is a debaucher of youth.
More than a million boys are
debauched and ruined, both for
time and eternity, every genera.
ton. They resort to all sorts of
tricks to get them = music,
games, free lunch, theatricals;
andSsome have their hired hench-
men who induce the school boys
into their dens and get them.
started to perdition.
The saloon is a destroyer OF
home. Thousands of,homes are
wrecked because Of this hideous
monster. It turns a good hus-
band into a vagrant. It takes a
skilled workman and ruins his
ability. It takes away his am
bition. It leaves him a pauper:
More, it transforms the husband
and father into a fend. Into
how many homes do you think
each night there reels a drunken,
swearing man, who, a natural
protector, with kicks and curses
abuses wife and children. How
many of these saloon keepers
wives are wearing silks and sat
ms bought with bread money
and women and children go sup
PEERLESS to bed?
What good is the saloon?
Brewers say it is the poor mans
club. Yes, and as long as be
patronizes it he will remain a
poor man. L truly is a poor
mans club. In fact, it canses
him to use club on his wife
and children, driving them from
home and shelter at the midnight
hour:s
"It's a good place for socia,
bility." Such sociability! 1t is
a place where rude and coarse
| tests are made; where iniquity is
the topic of conversation; where
woman's character is DETAINED:
where moral excellence is drag
ged through the mire. Death to
the saloon. No respect or toler-
|ance to the saloon keeper as long
as he is a saloon keeper. The
sooner he is put in his rightful
place in the public estimation
which is among the highwaymen,
thugs and outcasts, the better
for society. Coming genera
tions will rise and call US enc
mics to our God-given trusts for
allowing the saloons to exist for
a moment.-Rev. E. NJ. Dugger,
lin Central Christian Advocate.

Sympathy Was Power1ess.

To exercise a general supervision
over lost children and stray pets is
characteristic of kind-hearted resi-
dent of South Paris, Maine, who is
represented by the Lewiston Journal
as ready to sympathize with every
childish trouble. He was walking
along the street recently, when he
noticed a little boy on the sidewalk,
evidently in the deepest trouble. His
chubby fists burrowed in his fat little
face. Great round drops of misery
rolled down his cheeks and fell on
his little blouse.

the kind-hearted man.
mol" howled the boy.
''Lost?''
NO." with a wilder burst Of sor-
row.
''Where do you live?"
The boy pointed.
Waiting for your dad?"
''No. Boohoo!"
well, then, what is your trouble? %
The boy sobbed bitterly, and an
swered in tones of anguish:

CLEVELAND AND INDIANA.
There IL Hardly Soil in the H0Osief
State to Raise q Demo-
cratic Boom.

There is information in trust cir.
cles that the Indiana democrats are
turning to Mr.. Cleveland. Convinced,
losing ground in conservative circles
in his own party, and that a strong
nomination by their party will bring
the presidency within reach, they have
determined to put their best foot fore
most and enlist under the Cleveland
banner 1t is pretty story, but def
cient in particulars, says the Wash
ington Star.
Are the old friends of Mr. Hendricks
very prominent in this movement?
Mr. Cleveland and Mr.. Hendricks were
about as ill-assorted a pair as ever
Travelled in double harness. 1t was
with great difficulty that the In
dianian could be persuaded to make
the race, and this Mr.. Cleveland
seemed never able to forget. Mr. Hen
bricks lived but a short time alter
taking office, but long enough to de-
velop serious differences with his
chief, and to make it plain that the
association was very unpleasant to
him. When he died Mr.. Cleveland
did not attend the funeral 1t was
explained that he was advised in his
course by those who thought he ought
not to take the railroad risk of the
Journey. But his absence was resented
by many of Mr. Hendricks friends.
And how about the old friends Of Mr..
Voorhees,? They are nearly all sill
yer men. and they deeply regretted
the course their old favorite took un-
der Cleveland's influence in the fight
over the repeal of the purchasing
clause of the Sherman act. What
has lately occurred to make Mr..
Cleveland so very attractive in their
eyes?
Then there are the friends of the
late John G. Shanklin In 1892 Mr..
Shanklin was candidate for the
democratic nomination for governor of
Indiana, and had good prospects OF
success. He was Cleveland man,
and wanted the state delegation to
the democratic national convention in.
structed for the New Yorker. But
lssac P. Gray played the ''favorite
son" game. and obtained instructions
for himself. He likewise defeated
Mr.. Shanklin's gubernatorial aspira-
lions because of Mr. Shanklin's op-
position to his presidential aspira-
tons At the Chicago convention that
year Mr.. Gray traded the Indiana vote
to the Cleveland people fol- the prom
Use of the ministership to Mexico, and
got the place Mr.. Shanklin in the
distribution of the national patronage
got nothing.
There may be good soil in the mid
die section Of the country for the
Cleveland boom, but, all things con-
sidered, one would hardly expect to
find it in Indiana

without more ado, and but for the
interference of their fellow-passen-
gers the man might have shed blood.
The next scene was at the police sta
ton. Here the old gentleman wished
to have first say. He was, however,
overruled in Difference to the "serv-
ice" But at length his turn came.
"Who may you be?'' was the ques-
ton put. ''Field marshal, retired

can have the equivalent of the $780,

Merivale replied promptly:
81 would like to close this business
up as soon as possible. My mining
resources are all lying idle, and I am
losing money every day thereby. (
cannot wait six months. Make it
three months and state your agree
ment in writing, and / will see you
about it,
Franklin then wrote:
81 accept your amendment, and
hereby obligate myself within three
months to secure possession of the
tract in ---- county, Colorado, for
you and myself jointly, or, on failure
to do so, to remunerate you out Of
my stock on condition that you will
honor my drafts to the extent of
100000"
Merivale answered laconically:
sit is a go. Draw away"
This letter from Franklin to Meri-
vale may be interesting:
''Send check for $1,000 to Thomas
Morris, Yokohama, Japan. This is
for stock purchased through him.
Charge the amount to my account"
Just before Fenton left Colorado
for Nilus he induced Merivale to
write this letter to Franklin:
at seems to me that if your stock
was stolen from you, the proper way
would be to steal it back. Can't you
find anyone with nerve enough down
your way to do it? The three months
having expired, / shall come to Nilus
to settle matters at issue between us.
If by the time [ get there you have,
by hook or crook, got possession of
the stock, all right. If not, L must
have the 100000 worth of stock

doing himself an injustice in further
ing his schemes.
Il then made a proposition to
Merivale. / told him that I would
alter my appearance and go back to
Nilus, taking his name; and that by
pretending to sympathize with all of
Franklin's schemes I should get into
his confidence and worm from him
the truth. In return for this privi-
lege, I promised Merivale that l
would use all the influence I had, re-
enforced by Mr.. Everett, to induce
the real owners of the mine to con-
sent to the proposition he had made
to Franklin. He studied over it for
while. I could see that he rather
enjoyed the idea. 1t would be a rare
joke and a rare revenge, but | could
see that he hesitated. Doubtless he
was little apprehensive as to what
use I would make of his name; so
told him that he could write to Mr..
Everett, and that gentleman would
stand for my doing nothing that
would bring discredit on his name
At last he consented, and at my sug-
gestion he wrote a letter to Col.
Franklin stating that he would be IL
Nilus in short time. He then made
arrangements to depart for San
Francisco, where he had some inter-
ests demanding his attention. Before
l left he placed in my possession all
of Col. Franklin's letters to him, as
well as copies of his letters to Frank
lin.
''In order to personate Merivale, a
transformation was necessary. / had
my hair cut as close as if it had been
shaved, and I then purchased a blond
wig, which I mutilated and trimmed
so that when put on [ appeared to be
growing bald rapidly. Then I had
my beard trimmed and parted, and in
this shape l blondined it. With red
dye frightened my cheeks, and with
| pair of cloudy spectacles L dulled
my eyes. And so, armed with Frank
Inns letters and Merivale's name,
came to Nilus as an eastern
capitalist and took the best room
in the best hotel. Before | relate
what happened in Nilus, l will first
read the letters that passed between
Merivale and Franklin"
