intoxicating liquors and to have such
liquors denaturized. There has been
on the part of some the fear that after
1t was denaturized there might be a
process by which 1t could be restored
to drinkable form: but It appears that
even If this could be done the cost
would be so large that it would not
be feasible. The ingenuity of the
liquor seller Is so subtle that care and
watchfulness will have to be exer-
cised by the government and the tenn
perance people to prevent deception
and fraud In dealing with this new
commodity. We are glad, however, for
reliable testimony from Great Britain.
where for fifty years denaturized alco-
hol has been used for industrial pur-
poses. proving that methylated spirits
are not used as beverage, except in
rare cases corresponding in our coun-
try with the drinking of wood alcohol.
Let us hope that 1t will help the tenn
perance cause in our country: that the
demand for denaturized alcohol to be
used for arts and industrial purposes
may be so great that every distiller in
the land will abandon the beverage
traffic altogether. If this denaturizing
process tends to change not only the
nature of the product, but of the pro-
ducer. it will be n great and double
blessing"

CAPITAL GOSSIP.

Washington, Oct. 26.-The fact that
George Won L. Meyer, ambassador to
Russia, is slated to become postmaster
general next March has already led to
gossip as to his probable successor to
the Russian mission. Lloyd c. Girls
com Of Pennsylvania, now ambassador
to Brazil, has been mentioned as likely
to succeed Mr.. Meyer. in which case 1t
is reported that John Barrett, now
minister to Colombia, probably will be
appointed to Rio de Janeiro.
1t was said at the White House,
however, that none of the proposed
changes will be made until after the
presidents return from Panama.

The policy of public management of
the liquor traffic is a dangerous pol
icy. The claim that it eliminates pri-
vate gain such as is enjoyed by some
liquor sellers is far ut-balanced by
the private gains of paid officers and
by public greed. In fact, it strength
ems the power of the liquor traffic.
When it has come to such pass in
this country that the liquor sellers are
barred out of respectable society, and
in many instances out of secret organ
izations, what shall be said of NUM-
cipality or state that goes into the bus
mess of liquor selling? If it is bad
business for an individual, 1t certain
ly is a bad business for a community
or a state which is made up of ind!-
viduals. If it is right to sell liquor
for beverage purposes, why not allow
everyone to sell it freely? If it is
wrong to sell it, can any form of leg
islation make it right? The unanimous
reply of all advanced thinkers and the
temperance people shows in effect that
the only way to successfully deal with
the liquor trade is to prohibit it.

Mrs. Stevens said:
General satisfaction seems to pre-
vail over the passage by congress of

Oklahoma takes its place upon our
national flag the fourth day Of next
July, IL that flag floats over prohibi-
tion Oklahoma, the liquor men will
sneak away, for their business and
the prohibitory law do not flourish to-
gether.
On the subject of the army canteen
Mrs. Stevens said:
"The bill introduced for the restora-
tion of the sale of liquor in the army
canteen received little or no attention
from the last session of congress. The
liquor papers continue to report "the
appalling effects that have followed
the abolition of the liquor canteen,' and
to rail against the w. c. T. U. and all
others who favor the retention of the
law. We should bear in mind that
there Is great difference between
the true army record and the reports
given out in various ways by some of
the army officers. A candid review and
fair comparison of conditions before
and after the abolition of the liquor
canteen make good showing as a
whole in favor of the present system.
Notwithstanding the fact that some of
the post commanders try to make the
law unpopular by suppressing the post
exchange. 81 .S33.50 have been appro-

States is under prohibition, either by
local, county or state legislation, and
we have good reason to believe that
forty thousand square miles will be
added to the prohibition territory when
in few months the people of Okla
homa declare In the constitutional con-
vention. or by the votes of their peo-
pie. that their state shall be free from
the legalized saloon. We are glad that
the congressional statehood bill pro-
vides that the Indian Territory part
of the new state shall be under pro-
hibition for twenty-one years, what
ever the constitutional convention may
legislate for the other half. This pro-
vision is mandatory and must be
placed in the constitution before the
president issues a proclamation maxi
ing Oklahoma state. Indian Terri

square miles and thus it will be seen
that the new state of Oklahoma will
be larger than the combined area of

This Year 1886 Children
Were Effected by the Grow
ing Evil.
TRINITY COUNTY, CALIFoR-

San Francisco. Oct. 26.-Of interest
to every person in the land are the
divorce statistics of California for the
fiscal year ending June 80 last, COM
piled by w. v. Stafford, commissioner
of labor. The figures show that one
out of about every seven marriages
ends disastrously.
No more significant idea of the eff
feet of the divorce evil can be gained
than that conveyed in the fact that
in this state during the year total
of 1886 little children were affected
through the separation of their par
ents.
While the marriage during the year
reached a total of 1882, the divorces
numbered 2,133, the percentage of di-
vorces mean 1871. OF the divorce ac-
tions 5SS were brought by the hus-
bands and 1.545 by the wives. OF the
divorces 1,481 were welded in Cali
fornia, 5S4 in other portions of the
United States and 6S in foreign coun-
tries. A total of 484 were married less
than five years, 796 from five to ten
years, 649 from ten to twenty years
and 294 more than twenty years.
AS to the percentage of divorces to
marriages., Trinity county leads with
SO per cent. twelve couple being mar
ried there during the year and six

ductive to marital happiness, and there
