Progress Of Temperance in England.

From the Church Eclectic.
Brewers are just now much exercised In their
minds over the great falling OF in their returns.
Attempts are Of course being made to discount any
suggestion that beer Is ccasng TO be the national
beverage and that wave Of temperance is sweep
ing over the land. But we have no hesitation in
saying that temperance reform is winning Its way
In England and that the decline OF the brewer Is
something more than a merely temporary depres-
sion. Considerations OF health and economy ap.
peal moro powerfully than ever they did before
10 the popular mind. and are the brewers most
formidable opponents.
II Is a remarkable sign OF the spread OF TEN +.
perance principles that borough councils In their
representative capacity should be Initiating meth
DDS Of temperance reform. Some time ago the
council Of Woolwch took action In this direction,
and now that Of Camberwcll has unanimously de-.
cided TO follow suit by issuing pacard on physi-
cal deterioration and alcoholism. signed by the
Mayor and the public oi1cer Of health.
This pacard points out In an emphatic manner
the fact that the abuse OF alcoholic stmulants Is
one Of the most potent means OF physical deterora
tion. II further states that alcoholic persons are
specially liable to tuberculosis and all innamma
tory disorders. and that the lunacy figures show
. large and increasing number OF admissions Of
both sexes due directly to drink. And It concludes
with these striking words: Alcoholism is the most
terrible enemy to personal health TO family happi.
ness and to national prosperity"

tn. Sort Of Christianity Now Wanted.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-lSr: ! have been
to some Of the religious tent meetings. and was
very much surprised TO discover how few non i
church going persons were In attendance. Tho
average audience resembled very much an ordi-

church members. and made UP chiefly Of women.
Where arc the masses, Where are the "publicans

The sermons I heard preached reminded one Of
the old time revival sermons. There was lack
OF modernness about them. Hell and heaven were
emphasized. The modern masses are not afraid
Of he'll or Of the Devil. A reverend doctor prayed
thus: Have mercy upon the souls who are falling
into he'll as fast as the waters OF Niagara fall"
The masses to day want the social aspect Of
Christianity. and the sermons heard were not In
struc,ive from the point Of view Of doctrine. nor
did they contain anything of the social side of
Christianity. All j heard was: Come TO Jesus
and you will 60 10 heaven"

The Treaty Of Portsmouth.

Yesterday, only one week from the
day when Japan's magnanimous conces-
sions made the drafting OF peace treaty
, possible, the ENJOYS at the Portsmouth
conference affixed their signatures to
that historic document.
Thus were concluded, 60 far as lay
, within the power Of any save the Car
sof Russia and the Mikado Of Japan, the
negotiations that have so tremendously
augmented and extended the reputation
of the President Of the United States.
Without Mr.. ROOSEVELT the final

ing at Portsmouth would not have been
.enacted. Another might have called
the conference. Another might have
given voice to the worlds hopes when the
Issue seemed in doubt. No other would
have done what he did, in the way he
did it, at the time he did 1t, or under the
circumstances that moved him to act at
the critical moment.
When In future an historic painter

omit from it the foremost figure in the
conference, for the man who made peace
was the man Of Oyster Bay.

What Hunger Is Scientifically.

Dr.. Mark 7. Knapp IN American Medicine.
Hunger is the sensation felt because Of the con.
traction OF the muscularis either Of the pylorus
possibly also the entire stomach Of the duoden,m
or OF the contraction OF the muscularis Of all these
structures. II the contraction Is more intense II
Is felt as painful hunger. II the contraction Is
slight. then the sensation OF the hunger is also OF
q slight degree: II Is evanescent.
Hunger is . lesser degree of pain. and is pro
duccd by the contraction Of the muscularls. This
Ia the reason why hunger passes away after Ger
tain lapse OF time. even II food has been taken:
II means simply that the muscularis becomes tired
and contraction gives way TO relaxation. Alb.

The Boast OF tho south.

Organized efforts to attract the stream
OF foreign immigration to the South
are now made by Southern States. A
Southern paper, the Tradesman, how
over, urges that great care should be
exercised to keep out undesirable for
eigners.
This is reasonable enough, but that
paper goes on to express sentiments
which fly high above common sense:
we In the South have something higher and
nobler to live for than mere money making. We
have land tho fairest that eer the sun shone on.
and heritage the proudest ever given into human
keeping. and We would blight the one and debauch
the other by receiving indiscriminate glasses Of
Immigrants into the South. May 0oD help US pro.
servo this land In Its beauty and this heritage In its
purity for ourselves and for our posterityi"
Higher and nobler ambitions than mere
money making are not confined to the
South. They have given and win give
prime impulse to all civilization. The
South, however, wants also to mako
money, like every other part Of the
Union, and 1t Is making money. II
is far richer now than 1t ever was, and II
grows richer year by year with remark
able rapidity; but it wants to be richer
and it ought to be richer.
Whether the land Of the South is the
"fairest that e'er the sun shone on ID
open to question--at any rate, will be
disputed by the inhabitants Of most
other regions Of the earth. Nor will
there be general agreement with the
boast that the heritage Of the South
is 4the proudest ever given to human
keeping Other parts Of this Republic
are convinced that they enjoy that favor
by the partiality Of Providence. In our
greatest and proudest heritage, our
political freedom, we all share alike, the
South no more than any other part Of
the Union.
The South, greatly as it has prospered
in the last twenty-five years, Is still to
a very large extent an undeveloped
region. 1t is in need Of improvement
in every State and in almost every direc-
ton. Its resources have barely been
touched by enterprise. It needs greater
population. It needs to get over cele-
brating itself as glorious exarnplar, as
the "fairest land that e'er the sun. shone
on" to forget the past, to stop talking
about its @proudest heritage"-in fact,
to get over consciousness-and to
60 to work steadily to develop the riches
with which nature has endowed it. Even
when that is done the sun will be shining
on other lands not less fair and not less
worthy of pride, in the opinion OF their
inhabitants.
This is very big world.

The State Debt.

Two amendments to the State Consti-
tuition affecting the State debt are to be
submitted to the voters on November 7
for their action. One, II adopted, would
change from eighteen years to fifty the
term for which State bonds may be Is
sued. The other would allow any moneys
In the State treasury to be used for the
payment OF interest and establishment Of
sinking funds, purposes for which the
Constitution now requires the levying
and collection Of a direct tax. Both
amendments are designed to aid the.
Republican party in maintaining its
policy OF no direct taxation, the policy
so strongly advocated by BENJAMIN B.
ODELL and 80 strongly condemned by in
telligent students of taxation.
