Living Nenr SaloOns.

The rich men will not liy" where
there are saloons. They Will have
the land deeds fixed up 50 that no
saloons can he established, or they
will have laws made to bar out sa-
looms. Some Christian people ease
their runsCicnCcs by having laws
made to keep the saloons away from
the church doors; but when YOU
drive tn" saloons away from the
rich mans home and the doors OF
the church, you drive them I" the
homes of the poor pcoplc-th" least
able of all to Withstand their raw
ages The rich brewers and distill-
ers will not live near saloons. In
the Hyde Park prohibition district
In the city of Chicago live thirteen
Of Chicagu's brewers. The poor
man cannot drive the saloon from
his door with money, like the rich
man. for h" has not the money; but
hc has a vote, and with that vote he
can, and should drive the saloon
away from his door. Alabama Citi-

little babiea, which the keeper OF the
place told me had been gathered up
in drunken novels of that one town

statisticiaps that two thousand five
hundred babies are annually killed
by drunken fathers and mothers

thirds Of this slaughter Of innocents,
so statistics show, occur on Satur-
day night, the awful pay day fruit
of the legal or illegal saloon.
"And next Saturday night, after
the saloon has robbed the laborer

At first, like the rabbit imported into
Australia, the English sparrow and
the Russian thistle. this t1ansplanted
race threatened by sheer power of
production to dominate the land. This
might have proved true If the condi-
tons 50 favos.ble to its increase had
continued But these conditions were
not Of the nsoro's making; they were
forced upon him, contrary to his ma
TIM, and he abandoned them. The
results Of the last census exploded all
fears that his overwhelming numbers
would ever enable him to beat down
the Anglo-Saxon civilization.

What do these figures mean? To
me they seem to mean that the negro,
having naturally weak lungs, was
saved from the consequences of that
weakness by the conditions in which
he lived a. 4 slave. The enforced
cleanliness of his cabin; the enforced
regular hours; his necessarily more
strict observance of family ties; In
short, his obedience to the simple laws
of health, prevented the natural weak
ness of his lungs from developing into
tuberculosis. But when, Immediately
after emancipation, he changed his
habits and mode Of living, he did 80

natural, hereditary tendsacy, and that
tendency has increased With every

control should be Withdrawn. For
nearly two centuries his hereditary in
stincts had been suppressed but not
destroyed, and only awaited freedom
to reassert themselves. Under the old
conditions, which were 50 favorable
to the reproduction of his species,
many phophecies were made a to his
numbers in future years. In 1896
Judge St. George Tucker, Of Virginia,
submitted a proposition for the grad
ual abolition Of slavery IN his native
State. According to his computation
Of normal negro Increase there should

Prossssse Darby made a careful esti-
mate and placed the probable negro
populution At nearly 2hoooyooo u looo.
