Missouri and elsewhere. in favor of local

following:
REv. F. c MCCONNELL,
Calvary Baptist Church.)
The demand for the abolition of the
saloon is the assertion of the rights Of
the people. A long.suffering people
have submitted to the tyranny of the sa.
loon as long as endurance is possible.
The present anti saloon wave is a part Of
the great reform movement that is des-
tined to sweep over the entire country.
America is founded OH a principle, the
fruits OF which are becoming manifest,
viz; Individual liberty as the legitimate
product Of civil and religious liberty.
Americans can 10 longer commit their
consciences to their politicians. The in
dividual man has come to feel personally
responsible for abuse Of civil rights and
the individual can no longer sit quietly
by and see the liquor interest destroy his
fellow men without his protest. The day
OF combinations has taught the people
how to stand together for good govern.
nient while it has been teaching them
other things. The aroused consciences
OF the people haye brought them togeth-
er to suppress an institution which
threatens their common good. The sa.
loon is doomed.
at will require only enough time to
organize the forces of every state. The
saloon is stamped with infamy and in
due course of time will be driven from
the haunts of civilized men; The tidal
wave will be kept back here and yonder
by tec~hnicalities and other hatched.u
r~esisiances, but it is only for a time. The
determination to abolish the saloon is
stronger and wider than was ever the
determination to abolish African ~slaeery,
and the emancipation means infinitely
o to Our country. It means almost as
much to the negroes themselves"
What do you believe to be the correct
solution Of the liquor traffic."
II do not know that my opinion would
be worth while. l have high regard for
the medical profession and if it were pos
sible would like to have from that hon..
ored class of our citizens an opinion re-
gardins the necessity for liquor as a drug
in the treatment Of the diseases to which
we have fallen heir. II its use is neces-
sary in the treatment Of disease then it
ought to be provided as other drugs are
provided. In Georgia where state pro-
hibition has recently been made a law
the bill provides that druggists may furn
ish pure alcohol OF the prescription of an
authorized physician, the druggist being
required to record the prescription in the
ordinary's Office paying for the record,
and that nc prescription can be filled a
second time. Some such restriction will
follow the institution Of laws prohibiting
the saloon. The correct solution NAV
fail OF being reached as speedily as we
might wish. 1t is not likely to keep
pace with the agitation against the sa-
loon. Every great reform requires years
of patient thought following the impulse.
The one great absorbing enthusiasm that
is spreading from state to state through.
out this country is voiced in the expires.
sion, The saloon must CO. and 20 it will.
Afterwards the regulations will follow"

P|NkHAM' 5 VISIT
To kAlAUPAPA
cFrom Mondays Advertiser,

ttrOm Mondays AdvertSer.l
President L. z. Pinkham Of the
Board of Health yesterday morning In
the steamer Iwalani returned from 8
flying trip to Kalaupapa. whittier he
went to interview the committee OF
seven which was originally appointed
to handle the J. Lor wallach matter
as far as the wishes OF the Settlement
people might be concerned.
There is little to say" said Presi-
dent Pinkham last evening. for I
went there merely to put certain tech
meal questions to the committee OF
seven. Indirectly concerning wallach.
yes, but Wallach's new conditions were
not discussed.
II went right down Into the Settle
ment and talked with them. I am not
afraid OF them and have no reason TO
be afraid OF them. They understand
and appreciate the fact that I am do
ing all l can for them. In regard to
the Waliaeh experiment. the buildings
for the trial are In course OF erection
here. and there is nothing further TO
be done In the matter until these
buildings are completed. l merely
wanted to put certain technical ques-
tons to the representatives OF the
people OF the Settlement. and I will
not now state what those questions
were, for the reason that the ques-
tions we're OF such a nature that they
should not be stated until such time
as the answers are given, 50 that both
questions and answers may appear
and so be understood together.
The meeting was a friendly one.
know that Motley and others have
stated that 1 could never go to the
Settlefent and return alive; they hare
so stated on several occasions: but
I was among the people Of the Set
Element and they received me in a
friendly manner and seemed to re-
greet that there had been so much said
that might lead people 20 suppose they
were in an excited state over there.
They are not excited. They. Of course,
show some curiosity as to Wallach's
claims and want TO know what he
can do. bit there is no excitement and
there Is no bad feeling. They appre-
ciate the fact that everything that
can be done for them is being done.

VICTORIA A MIGHTY CATARACT.
African Waterfall Far EcIipses Our
Own NiaUara In Craudaur

/ African Waterfall Far EeIipses Our
own Niagara I'm Grandeur.
Oozing out Of black, boggy depres-
sion in the heart of southern Africa Is
sluggish, muddy stream which wends
its way southwark, leisurely at first,
but 1t soon grows rapidly In size and
strength until 1t pours into the Indian
Ocean, 1,650 miles away, fourth in
rank among the mighty rivers of At
rlca, says the Scientific American.
About 700 miles from its source, and
just beyond the cataracts of Mololo,
the Zambesi, Joined by the waters Of
the Kwando River, spreads out into
what might be termed lake about six
miles long and over a mile In width.
This lake Is studded with islands and
the surface is very smooth, the vegeta-
tion along the banks being perfectly
mirrored In the placid water. Strange
to say, the lower end Of this lake is
marked not by a shore line nor by the
slightest narrowing Of its surface, but
by an abrupt fall beside which our
much vaunted Niagara is a mere pyg-
my. 1t is an entire lake that takes the
plunge, and not merely a river.
A comparison Of Niagara and Vic.
toria falls shows at glance how vast
ly greater is the African falls. At
Niagara the river takes a plunge of 1888
feet, but the Zambesl falls sheer 400
feet. The crest of Victoria falls Is over
mile long-5,SOS feet, to be exact
whereas the American fall at Niagara
measures only LOGO feet, and the Horse
shoe fall Is only 1890 feet across, or
3,010 feet as measured along the curve.
To illustrate the magnitude of the AZ
rican waterfall we might depict against
1t the skyline of New York from Bat
terry Park to Worth street. Not build
Ing would project above the crest Of
the falls excepting only the tower Of
the Singer building, which Is now In
process of erection. To be sure, In
comparing Niagara with Victoria, It
must be said In favor of the former
that the Horseshoe fall presents an un-
broken crest, while the edge Of the
Victoria is divided by numerous ISL
ands into stretches which nowhere ex-
ceeds 600 feet. At the center Is Liv-
ingstone Island, and to the left, as
you look up stream, Is the main fall,
while at the right of the island is the
Rainbow fall. Buka Island separates
the main fall from the Cascade or Dew.
