A WISE LIMITATION.

chicago Post-The passage of the
ordinance for the limitation OF saloon
licenses is long step in the right d.
rection. Chicago has not too many
saloons. and to restrict their spread
not only by high license fee but by
an arbitrary limit variable in propor-
ton to the population, is eminently
desirable.
Objections raised by Alderman
Foreman are not well founded. and
were properly disregarded by all but
very small minority. Mr.. Fore
man was concerned lest the limita-
ton create saloon trust and licenses
become matter of barter and sale.
Inc community is affected by this
consideration merely as 1t may az
feet the moral well-being of the city:
that the licenses should be enhanced
In value is an argument in favor Of
the ordinance, since 1t will tend to
steady the licenses ana disincline
them to take any chances of losing
them; tht licensees may be assigned
is a consideration OF no greater i'm
portance than that they NAV he
originally issued, since they may not
be assigned without the approval Of
the mayor and are 4 any hands al
ways subject to his right to>revoke.
AS the supreme court has just\estab-
iished the wide discretionary powers
OF the mayor the whole subject CT
saloon regulation is upon a much
safer basis than ever before.

to begin with. This is perfectly
simple. I merely write. Buffalo
Bill stood at bay or something of
tina. sort, and there l have a critical
state Of affairs in one line, throbbing
with all sorts of possibilities. It's
easy enough after that to write on in
definitely.
Another good opening line used to
be: "Cack! crack crackl-.nree
more redskins bit the dust. This
fell into disfavor, however, as the
educated youth came to scorn a hero
that slew only three Indians at vol
ley.
A Maine writer, famous as Burt
L. Stanish, author Of Frank Merri-
well and other later day boys stories
was an intimate friend of Colonel In
graham. The colonel frequently Wis
tied "Standish" In his eastern home,
where he INDUCED his fancy for Gre
ating alliterative titles for his friends
by styling Mrs. Standish Matchless
Mary, the Marvellous Marks-woman of
the Maine Mountains. He invented
similar absurdities for each of his &C
quantances by these titles.
Less Blood and Thunder Now.
While the general appearance and
character of the boys cheap novel
has changed much in the last few
years, a number continue to recount
weekly new adventures of favorite
characters of other days. Old Sleuth,
Nick. Carter, Deadwood Nick and Buff
falo Bill continue to perform feats of
sIperhuman daring. The original
creators of these and SIMILAR charac-
tiers have nearly all passed away, and
in some cases more than a dozen diff
ferent writers have assumed the
mons de plume and had part in
perpetuating their fame.
The untiring hostility of the in
dignant parents of youthful readers
has brought about the change in the
old time penny dreadful until it
can no longer be found in its original
form. The boys nickel magazine of
today recounts extraordinary athletic
feats, rather than wholesale carnage
among bad men and Indians, and is
adorned with a mu1ti-colored cover
in lieu of the familiar Beadle &
Adams style of title page.

ing, resulting from the habitual use
of alcohol whether as spirits, wine,
or beer which may never go as II
as drunkenness ".
(2) 1t is a mistake to say that
those doing hard work require stimu-
lants. AS fact no one requires
alcohol as either food or tonic.
go Alcohol is really a narcotic
dulling the nerves, like laudanum
opium, but is more dangerous than
either in that often its first effect is
to weaken a mans self-control while
his passions are excited; hence the
number of crimes which occur under
its influence.
(4) Spirits, as usually taken, rapid
ly produce alcoholism, but milder
alcoholic drinks, as beer, and even
cider, drunk repeatedly every day
produce, after time, alcoholic
poisoning with equal certainty.
go The habit of drinking leads to
the ruin of families, the neglect Of
social duties, disgust for work, misery.
theft, and crime. 1t leads also to the
hospital, for alcohol produces the
most various and the most fatal dis
eases, including paralysis, insanity,
diseases of the stomach and liver,
and dropsy. 1t also paves the way
to consumption, and trequenters of
public houses furnish large proper
ton of the victims of the disease. 1t
ccmplicates and Aggregates all acute
diseases; typhoid fever. pneumonia
and erysipelas are rapidly fatal in the
subject of alcoholism.
go The sins of alcoholic parents
are visited on the children; if these
survive infancy they are threatened
with idiocy or epilepsy and many are
carried away by tuberculous mening-
tits, or phthsis Consumption.
CD In short, alcoholism is the most
terrible enemy to personal health, to
family happiness, and to national
prosperity.
Conditions abroad must be grave
indeed to call for action by the
governing bodies of England, France
and Germany Happily, the need for
government action along any lines of
repression has not yet arisen. 1t is
interesting and instructive to observe
that abroad the force of moral sua-
sion is relied upon rather than the
force of law. If the drink evil is to
h6a, hn
come through convincing the reason
of men and women that intemperance
is dangerous. This task must be left
the temperance societies and society
generally. The doctrine of force ac-
composites nothing and sets up in OPP
position to reform agencies which, if
it We're not resorted to, would ally
themselves with the temperance
cause.

Drunkenness has long been regard

The consumption of intoxicants there
is larger per capita than in Germany
or in the United States. Consul
Mahin, however, notes a decline in
drinking and drunkenness in England
and writing to the department of COM
merce and labor says the truth of such
a statement would probably be doubt
ed by the casual observer of the num-
Der of intoxicated people on the
streets and of men and women enter

is derived from a comparative study
of social conditions and from the Gus
toms returns and the reports of beer
brewing companies. No doubt an
other trustworthy guide is the tend
ency of public sentiment, which is
unquestionably in the direction of
sobriety. Temperance societies in
this country are growing in numbers
and influence. Outside of these, the
abuse Of intoxicants in its relation to
mental and physical health is receiv-
ing much attention. A special COM

Investigation Of the subject and re-

Of this report was, at the request OF

necessary that the French should

did the French, and concentrated his
movements against it. Unless he has

the possibility of success on the sea.
