Unfair to the Women.

Former Representative Bennett. OF New York,
makes a curious charge against tho women when
he says in a public address that men are becoming
more temperate, but women arc drinking more in
public than ever before. The second part OF the
statement may be true As i the first bart and
still not call for criticism or Justify the intcrpre-
tation accepted by the audience for Mr. Bennett
WAS making temperance address, Had he said
in many words that women were becoming
more often intoxicated in public than men or
tha" dd the women OF the past, he would have
been open to cen>urc, and probably some OF the
Women in his audience would have demanded his
proofs. And vet that is just the inference MANY
fanatic, will draw from Mr.. Rcnnctt's remarks
1t IS ono OF those unschicvouS half truths bv
which an idea may be conveyed which dare not
he expressed.
1t is probably true that women drink more in
public than they did fifty years ago because hotel
dIninC-roOnl> and restaurants are more patron
Hcd now than then, and these may be called pub
lie places. 1t is not considered an evidence of
wanton atfront to morals even temperance for
a woman to drink glass OF wine with her dinner
IN hotel or restaurant. just she might in |
the privacy OF home, for these public dining
rooms have in all large cities, from economical
and other reasons. taken the place OF the private
dinrng-room for considerable part OF the popu-
latiOn.
Neither should it be reflection upon women
that in this public way they cat and drink with |
the male members OF their families and social
circles. They do not go into saloons as Mr..
Benefits remarks might imply, nor do they drink
in secret. They follow the good old American
custom OF living their lives openly and without
fear OF criticism. They mothers, daughters
and swecthearts, ard they arc associated with
fathers, brothers and sweethearts in what is A
part OF their family lifc and it is an unfair and
comment that be twisted into A
suggestion that arc tending toward pub-
lie intoxcation
The danger to our civilization is not to be
found in the open and free exercise OF the prvi-
cges and obligations OF society. but in the secret
Iariances from these privileges and obligations.

survivor of those who were in impor-
tant command under Gen. Grant at the
time of the Nicksburg campaign. The
friendship which then began with Grant
was maintained by Gen. Dodge until
Gen. Grants death. They met many
times after the war. and when Gen.
Grant was in Paris. in 1873. he was the
guest of Gen. Dodge. who was at that
time living in the French capital.
