rHE RrsHoP AND THE SALOON.

Bishop Potter of New York Will
doubtless be criticised for being pres
ent at and taking part in the formal
opening of a saloon in New York city
the other day. The fact that whisky
and other strong drinks will be served
in the place is sufficient to make GER
tain temperance workers condemn
him. without taking into consideration
the claim on the part of the good bish
op and others that the saloon Will real
ly make for temperance and the better
health of those who consume alcoholic
stimulants.
There have been innumerable at
temuts made to furnish substitutes
for drinking saloons, by the establish
ment of coffee houses, "soft-drink'
rooms and the like, under church aus
pieces. But all have proved failures
from one cause or another. Now the
effort is to set up a high-grade saloon
in which anything that a man desires
to drink will be served to him, under
certain restrictions. The man must be
sober, must behave himself in gem
teel manner, will not be permitted to
drink to excess under any circum-
stances, and must pay for what he
gets. The saloon will provide pure
liquors, none other being permitted in
the place, which will be sold at a mod
crate advance on first cost. 1t will
provide also comfortable chairs, and
NO ~ nd
of its customers. In short, it will be
sort of social club for men who cannot
afford to be members of clubs. There
win be no back rooms. Women and
children will not be admitted to the
place. By dispensing only the best
and purest liquors, at prices below
those charged in other saloons for
stuff that is often poisonous, the back
ers of the new sort Of saloon hope to
minimize the evil results of liquor
drinking and induce drinkers to be
temperate in their indulgence. That is
in brief the outline Of the plan, which
Bishop Potter characterized in his ad-
dress as "the greatest social movement
New York has ever known" and which
he said lis a movement every one of
you must take into account if you
would save the republic"
Nevertheless, there is grave danger
that in making the drinking saloon, and
saloon drinking, respectable many
young men will be led into the liquor
habit who might otherwise have escap-
ed it. The young man will be apt to
think that an institution having the
sanction and best wishes of Bishop
Potter cannot lead to anything wrong,
and having broken the ice by visiting
and patronizing the bishops saloon he
will not find it difficult to visit and pa
tronize saloons of the other sort.

A. 1t WINS Intended.

A certain clergyman reports the fol-
lowing incident as occurring just in
side the entrance to one of the largest
and most popular Now York churches
during a crowded service, says Har-
per's Weekly.
1t was during the reading of a. pray
er, and the entire congregation We're
kneeling. A man of rough appearance,
evidently unused to ecclesiastical sur
soundings, strolled through the open
doors and started in apparent wonder
ment at the silent and kneeling congre-
CATION. He looked a moment, then
turning to the sexton, who stood near
by, remarked briefly:
well, this beats the DEVIL"
The sexton turned a serene eye on
him.
"rhat is the intention" he replied.

RrssIA,s sEIzuKEs on TME SEA.

Russia will have some pretty big
bills to pay if she insists upon confiscat-
ing goods captured upon the sea which
she alone holds to be contraband of
war. 1t is not for her to say what is
contraband and what is not. She will
have to abide the decision of some
tribunal, such as The Hague Tribunal
IL she and those who make claims
against her cannot agree.
Our government isn't inclined to
make haste to call upon Russia for
PREPARATION, knowing that if she is
shown to be in the wrong she will have
to settle the damages, even If a claim
shouldn't be made until the war with
Japan is ended.
1t seems that Russia insists upon
considering breadstuffs consigned to in
dividuals in Japan as contraband of
war. The Interpretation placed upon
international law by our government
is that such merchandise isn't con-
traband. II was not so considered In
the Sou African war. Merchan-
disc of Tat kind seized by Great Bri-
tain in American ships during that
war was eventually paid for At that
time also, il was the understanding of
all nations that foodstuffs on neutral
ships, even when found in the war
zone, were not subject to seizure if
not intended for the army or navy of
beligerent. The -four belonging to
an American firm that was seized on
the Arabia, of the Portland and Asiatic
line Of steamers, has been unloaded
at Vladivostok, having been condemn
ed as contraband, though IL is as
serted that it was not intended for
either the japanese army or navy.
No doubt Russia thinks she is right
about the matter but If reports re-
ceived from Washington are to be re-
lied upon she will find she is mistaken
and will have to pay for the -four and
the damage sustained by its detention
The consignors OF the -four are not in
clined to let the matter rest where It
is. Believing they have the law on
their side they viii press for a settle
ment Of the case with vigor.
OF course Russia is entitled to all
| the advantages which the law gives
her, but she is acting against her own
| interests in giving the law strained
| Interpretation. The commercial ma
tons want the raw interpreted with
as much liberality as possible, and
they are strong enough 10 have their
way in the matter. Russia ought to
/ be able TO see that, and act I'm ac-
cordance with Il. She is in mo position
now to make enemies. on the con-
trary. she needs all the friends she
can make. The transportation Of -four
into Japan cannot do her much. IL

Quite Impossible.

A woman of newly acquired wealth
went into an art gallery the other
day and said she wanted painting
of a certain size, says the Louisville
Herald.
Il have just what you want" the
dealer assured her, as he showed her
a genuine Troyon Of the size desir-
ed, a beautiful animal painting.
THE woman looked at it for few
minutes and shook her head.
1T won't do" she said; 81 want
this picture for my drawing ROOM"
"Wen?" questioned the dealer, who
saw no reason for the rejection so
far as the drawing room was con-
cerned.
you couldn't have a COW in the
drawing room, you know"
And that ended Il.

BRYAN IN LINE.

Mr.. f. c. Wall of Milwaukee, Wis,
who was a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for President, and
who has always been gold standard
man, told Judge Parker the other day,
when he visited him, that he could de-
pend upon loyal service from Mr..
Bryan.
Mr.. Wall is of the opinion that Mr..
Bryan is greatly misunderstood in the
East. 1t may be he is. 1t is to be
hoped so. Still it will take the East
sometime to understand why Mr.. Bry-
an went to New York, just before the
meeting of the St. Louis convention,
and made a bitter attack on Judge
Parker. There was no necessity for
him to do anything of that kind, but
at that time he thought probably that
he could get together enough votes in
the convention to prevent the nominal
ton of Judge Parker. 1t wouldn't be
surprising if he was part of wide
spread scheme to prevent his nominal
ton.
He was bitterly disappointed when
he found he had made a mistake re-
specting Judge Parkers strength. He
didn't get over his disappointment for
days after the adjournment of the con-
vention. He even went so far as TO
say that Immediately after the election
he would set, about reorganizing the
Democratic party ON lines marked out
l,.~ l. ft,Aes 81 10 Il al f1,, Yi,.Na
which were practically those approved
by the Populist party. But now, ac-
cording to Mr.. Wall, a change has
come over him. He is going into the
campaign heart and soul for Judge
Parker. He admires him for coming
out boldly for the gold standard and
thinks he is worthy of the support of
every Democrat of the land.
/ 1t is to be hoped that his conversion
is genuine. He certainly expressed a
different opinion of Judge Parker at
the Cooper Union meeting. still, If
he is now in earnest, there is no good
reason why we shouldn't let bygones
be bygones and accept Mr.. Bryan's ex-
pressions Of admiration for Judge Par
ker as genuine. He can do good serv-
ice in the campaign, provided he
doesn't teach Populistic instead of
Democratic doctrines. OF his ability
to hold an audience there is no doubt,
and, besides. he has a great many fol-
lowers who. II he were to say the word,
would vote the Populist, rather than
II.

paign speeches will be evident In his
