North Aroused Against Whiskey.

For a number of years there has
been strong public sentiment in the
South against whiskey, this sentiment
having crystalized into law in some
States prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
caLts. In portions of the West also
there has been strong anti-whiskey
sentiment, but not until recently has
t here been any very decided opposition
in the North to the sale of whiskey. 1t
is very crafty ing however to those
who have been struggling for years to
suppress the sale of whiskey to know
that now the fight is practically nation
wide. Northern cities have become
aroused and have enlisted in the fight
to overthrow the monster evil. The
following resolution passed few days
ago and forwarded to congress by the
bo ard of trade of Pittsburg think of
Pittsburg, Pa, opposingl whiskey) is
exceedingly encouraging:
''Whereas, this organization, realizing
as never before the increasing burden
of taxation caused by the liquor traffic
in this country, as so conclusively
shown by the figures given out by the
census of the United States; realizing
the great gain morally to citizenship of
our country by material reduction of
our saloons; realizing that it is poor
economy to allow the granting of liquor
licenses which annually grind out of d
grist of humanity for which we must
increasingly pay an unnecessary tax;
realizing the economic loss to the coun-
ty through the insufficiency of the in
dividual, and recognizing the fact that
more than 47,0O0,OO0 of the popula-
ton of our country already live in ter
ritory from which liquor has been
banished by the sovereign will of the
people; therefore
''Be it resolved, that the Pittsburg
board of trade places itself on record
as favorable to the passage of the bill
now before Congress submitting the
question of National prohibition to the
several State Legislatures that the
jquesCf0n may be settled in harmony
with the will of the people. -

Unwarranted Waste of Money.

Work has commenced on the Lincoln
memorial which is to be erected in
Potomac park, Washington. at a cost
of S2,000,0o0. While a suitable me-
mortal should be erected / to Mr.. Lin
coln, yet we believe the expenditure OF
such an enormous sum for this pur-
pose is an unwarranted waste of money,
especially when there are so many
needs throughout the'ss length and
breadth of the land which could be
supplied by public funds. 1t may be
said, too, in passing, that Mr.. Lincoln
does not deserve memorial any more

their names immortal at that time.
