The Philadelphia Times has the
following with regard to scheme
which has been devised in Oregon
for the suppression of drunkenness


A scheme has been devised in
Oregon for the suppression of
drunkenness, which requires every
person buying liquor for his own or
another persons consumption TO
take out an annual license, costing
not less than five dollars. Every six
months the names of those having
licenses are to be published, and no
saloon keeper is to be permitted to
sell a drink to q men unless he can
produce the all important document
properly certified and bearing the
seal of the County Court. The
proposed law certainly has merits.
In Philadelphia. for instance, it
would bring a million and half or
two millions of dollars revenue in
the public treasury every year
And then the publication of the
names of the licensed drinkers every
six months would help to keep
some of our starving contempora-
ries alive, who, by trading type and
printing three OF four hundred sup
plements which never reach their
subscribers, now reap such rich
harvest from the delinquent tax and
mercantile appraisers lists. The
solitary drinkers, fortified by the
possession of his license in his
pocket, need have no fear of expos
ure, except when found drunk with
no license, when the proposed Ore
gon law would insist upon his i'm
prisonment in the House of Cor
rection for at least six months
The idle vagabond, having no mon
ey to procure a license, would have
no whisky, and thus drunkenness
would be banished from the land

Mr.. JeffeTs son Davis said in a
speech at Mobile few days ago:
sFcr the honor of the comrades
whose uutimely death you mourn,
for respect due the cause you love,
for the pride you feel in your ances-
try, for the hopes you cherish Tor
your posterity, let not your eyes re-
vert constantly to the past, but con-
fronting the present and looking
patriotically on to the future, let
your efforts be made to repair what
has been injured, and build again,
higher and broader, on a more solid
foundation, the temple of human
liberty, after the model left you by
your fathers. You engaged in no
war for sectional aggrandizement
you fought no battles for personal
advantage, You were prompted by
no malice, and your knightly es
cutcheon is tarnished by no sordid
hate or desire for mean revenge.
The war left you stripped ofall save
honor, and your chivalry was as in-
capable of intlicting wrong as it was
of submitting to it tamely."

Possibly, like many others, ! have

endured an average share of wife's
trials and dissppointments. I'm
questionably there is in marriage
certain disappointment 10 nine
wives out of ten, possibly to 999
out of the 1000. Because lovers
are not husbands, nor husbands

BILE for the husband to remain the
lover. 1t is not so much the hus-
hands fault as is charged by most
wives. 1t is in my estimation but
natural result. The lover has
novelty and scarcity to spur him
on. The scarcity 1 refer to is that
of his adored's presence. When it
is his privilege TO see her at any
hour of the day without the formal
ity of a visit, that presence must
lose a certain charm. The first
shad and strawberries in market
ere rated at high figure. The ap-
petite is whetted for them by a
long fast, but when they become
very plentiful they lose value.
This same principle extends to ev-
cry department and working of hu
man nature. 1t is of no use to shut
our eyes to this. Better open them
wide, acknowledge the corn and
see if some way cannot be devised
to improve matters. 1t is a mis-
take to suppose that the husbands
comparative indifference implies
the actual lack of the husbands
love. Only the vigilance and anxi-
ETY. of love is toned down by
sense Of perfect security and pos
session. The man may never ac-
knowledge this even to himself,
but he feels it all the same, and
his acts are based on such feeling.
Make the man pay some price for
the wife's presence, and there
would be a change. The fruit
which hangs over every wall is not
deemed worth the plucking. Wives
have themselves much to blame for
the husbands indifference. They
hold themselves too cheap; and l
may say also too exclusive. If
these are conundrums, aggrieved
wives can spend an hour or two
profitably in studying them.

Chicago Times.


The very emphatic declaration by
DR. Van Dyke of his belief that mo
infant dying in infancy, baptized or
unbaptized, Christian or heatlen,"
but that "they are all saved" was
significant manifestation of the
growth of unbelief in the accepted
religious dogmas of previous age.
The further declaration of the same
eminent doctor of divinity, that the
whole Presbyterian Church share
his unbelief in the Calvanistic doc
trine of infant damnation, and the
applause with which that declara-
tion was received by the general
assembly, showing its hearty assent
there to was further and still more
remarkable manifestation of the
growth of unbelief in that large and
respectable body of so-called unbe-
levers.


Two hundred years ago-nay. less
than one hundred years agO-the
man who should have stood up in a
Presbyterian General Assembly and
proclaimed his rejection of one of
the plainest dogmas of the West
minister confession, would have been
turned out of the ecclesia Loaded
with the anathemas of the faithful.
Less than three hundred years ago,
the minister of God who should
have thus repudiated al essential
tenet of the theology of Geneva
would have been candidate for
martyrdom, and had DR.. Van Dyke
declared his heretical belief in the
salvation of juvenile pagans in the
hearing of John Calvin, that servant
of the Lord would have roasted
him alive as promptly as he did
Servetus, Zwingllus, and six or sew
en- other recalcitrant heresiarchs.
Verify, the progress of unbelief has
been considerable since Calvin's
time, and since John Knox's time,
too.


But these are only striking facts
selected from among hundreds of
similar facts, all more or less nota-
BILE indications of the growth in the

At the present there Is q vacancy
in the Supreme Court, Oecasioned by
the resignation of Judge Davis, aud
judging from the tone OF the new
/ policy, and the fact that there Is no
one upon the bench from the SJuth,


we may reasonably conclude that
the vacancy will be filled by the ap-
| pOintment Of q Southern man.
Among those mentioned from that
section, none are more highly recon-
mended than Judge Erskine, Of
Georgia. The following, in reference
to bin is taken from the Philadelphia
Daily Herald


The impression prevails that a
Southern man will be appointed oy
President Hayes to the position OF
/ Associate Justice OF the Supreme
Court, in the place Of Judge Davis,
resigned. Without detracting from
the merits Of any gentleman suggest
ed, there is one man who Ought to
stand conspicuous for this position.
| We refer to the Hon. John Erskine,
now Judge Of the District Court OF
the United States for Georgia. When
Judge Wayne died, Judge Erskine
stood prominently before the country
as the proper man 10 succeed him
His ability IS lawyer AMI his in-
tegrity as 3 man demanded the rec
OsnitiOn, but events which threw
their shadows before Induced the
appointing power to put Judge
Bradley on the bench in the
place of Southern men. At
/ the present time, upon a bench


whose representatives should be ma
tiOnal, we find no man from the
South. That section has been ignored.
We know what the balance OF the
United States would feel IL there was
no man from the Esst or West on the
Supreme Bench, aud yet the South
has lawyers as able, as learned, as
pure and as good ss any part OF the
Union. We believe the time has
come when nationality should marx
the bench and not sectiOnalism and
in this spirit we call attention to the
/ gentleman whose name heads the ar
tlcle. In point Of ability and learn
/ ing we feel assured that no name suR-
/ gested excels bis. He went on the
bench of the United States after the
war, had to handle the most delicate
questions, to meet with controversies
| involving rights Of citizenship and
property and his decisions were not
only fair and just, but endorsed and
followed Oy the Supreme bench in
several instances, Judge Erskine
commands the respect Of ths bar as
an able lawyer and OF the people as
an honest man, and We earnestly sug-
gest his name for the position.

He was asleep, bis clothes covered
with dirt and slightly torn, and his face
scratched in several places, but 1n be-

walked back to Mansfield, n distance
