The Growing Temperance Question.

Under this heading the Chattanooga
(Tenn.) Times says:
Delaware has got temperance move
ment on its hands, too, and the indications
are that local option law will be passed
by the State Legislature. The Savannah
(Ga.) Morning News sees in this signif-
cant indication of growth of the temper
ance sentiment and believes that local OPP
ton is sound American policy of local
self-government. A writer in the New
York American, who has studied the situ-
alton all over the country with an especial
idea Of analyzing the real cause of the
changing sentiment of the people and limit
ing the whisky traffic, which, he states, un-
doubtcdly prevails, finds the whisky people
have been largely responsible for their own
undoing whisky Dealers" says this au-
thority, care outspoken lawbreakers, and
80 fragrant and insolent have become their
disregard for the sensibilities Of the better
elements of the communities in which they
do business that they have at last brought
on themselves the condemnation of that
large class of conservative and liberal think
ers who have stood between them and abb
so,ute prohibition" Here we have pretty
fair representation of the situation which
ought to convey warning to the dealers
in this State, although it is exceedingly
doubtful that it will.

Demand For Railroad Ties.

The annual demand for railway ties
is 400 to each mile Of track and the
average life Of tie is seven years.
1t is an unusual acre Of forest that has
300 trees that will make three ties
each, and it takes fifty .ears to grow
a tree that will make three ties.
Therefore, twenty-five acres Of forest
are necessary for every mile Of track.
Electric railways included, there are
in the United States about 10000
miles of road.
