Meeting: of the ABli-Temperan- ce So-cie- tj

&c, at Spiritual Cat-Of- f.

Maroh 21st, 1880. "How I hate thewlerd sound of those baleful churchbell, as their solemn tones echo overthese hills?"

"Many old friendg go to churchnow that used to call on meant! whileaway the hours-I- n merry-makin- g andtelling obscene stories, or playing pe- -

droorBevenup for the drinke? Whatfools those fellows are ; 'tis wine thatmaketh glad the heart of man ! Justthink of those fellows getting so lowas to pay for wind-puddin- g, underthe name of 'ppirltual advice,' ormaking up jack-pot- s to buy the littleniggers In Africa testaments and fedflannel shirts ! They would do some-

thing for the town if they would cred-

it, and spend their money in paloonp."

"Talk to me about drink making aman a fool, as long as these things arepermitted to continue. Nothing butfanaticism ; yes, blind fanaticism !"

'Look at Brown ville! No saloons-- no

new railroad hnnds, flat-bo- at fer-

ries a new cold-wal- er church builtniggers emigrating from the Southinto this country talkingabout going to Lfadvllln, a sand-ba- r

erything going up in price, ray oldwoman compelled to sell her pianobecause I can't sell liquor, my doe-

skins getting rather too thin, in spots,for polite society, the railroad fromthe East stopped over in Missonri,where they, can get their drinks,farmers buying more extravagantthingB for their li.zy families thanthey used to. I used to be a bold,swaggering, defiant man of influence,but now I cower HHd am afraid of mymost intimate friends. Things aregoing to the devil for want of saloons.In the name of common sense, virtue,and everything that's lovely, and thelaok of good sidewalks, can't thesepoor, deluded fanatics see the point?"

"In the name of aod, if there is anyGod, will this fooling ever stop?"

As I muttered aloud these things tomyself, as they danced through mymind, I skulked forth from a dirtynorth ally, redolent with .the odor ofstables and the plg-pv- n, where I hidemy bottle. I sauntered leisurely, withspirits melancholy, sad and-1- - low, upthe path that leads to the sacred spotof Spiritual Cut-of- F.

Nearing that faithful intelligencer,the corn-cri- b, I caught, the voice ofthe long forgotten .Larry Houlegan,the bruiser. So very unexpected wasthis, that I cleared my-throa- t for thepurpose of striking up "Auld LangSyne," but quickly suppressed raytoo turbulent-spiri- t for these anxioustimes. While he piped forth one ofhis old-tim- o ballads that ustd to cheerthev'.'wae sma hours" in the, saloonsof Btowd ville in her prosperous days:"O, Dlnnls'Catfnro was a brofhof a bye,

THURSDAY, MARGH 25,1S80.

"AH rigbt.ye p'uld dispinser of evilsparits. I'm a (murtherin' eon of asay cook, If I'ni not going,along toaittle the finches or any other bird aswill stan' in the way of whiskey !"

.Larry is not the representative Hi-

bernian. If he was he would be of nouse to us. But he is the typical rep-

resentative of that class that withwhiskey in their brains, are the strongright arm of the saloon keepers in ev-

ery town and village in the world..His pedigree goes, back eight hundredyears. Parents unknown by name,but begotten by misery out of dissipa-tion and poverty, The ancestraViinebegins In the reign of King Alcoholand Atheous. The breed has been'.alarge one. whatever yon may thlnkof the quality. He Is the true ruffiantype of a brave and generous race ofmen. Never exhibited on the fieldof noble purpose, but filling the annals of furious acts and mental feeble-ness. With defiance for law, nursedby depravity, divorced from wisdom,schooled in the appetites nud passions,with darkness over his conscience,insensible to decencies, and tamedonly by the chains which an outragedcommunity binds on his impulses.

I recognized in him an auxiliary tomy purposes, and invited him, aftergiving him a sip from my bottle usedin carrying the elections in my favor,to accompany me. Throwing hisragged coat over his shoulder, he fol-

lowed after rap, dinging!"Oh. 'twas on .1 dusky ave,

When I was varry poor,A story ye better belave,

The Dlvll he came to my, door,An he held In his ban a big hook"

"Arra ! troth an' by gar, w'at's thohurly-burl- y with that murtherin',thavin' looking crowd that's insoldthat pin thare?" said Larry, chang-ing his tune.

"The anti-temperan- meeting,"said I.

"It's the divll's own place to beholdin' a matin'! An a swate sit ofcut-throa- ts they be, rushin' roundlike cattle at a fair," interposedLnrry.

"They are friends, my boy," I re-

plied."I should think so, the way they

are drinklri', spakin' an' staggeriu'about like land-lubber- s in a sthorm.Are the finches there, bedad?"saidhe.

"No, well, I don't know." I re-

plied, "tbey might venture out;" ForI saw he dii not comprehend themovement. And it is always a goodpolicy for politicians to keep .theirennstituents-i- n the dark ns much aspossible as to the motives. And themore ignorant we can keep ours thebetter; for ignorance nnd vice is themain element that drill in our ranks.Larry, I knew, for a little whiskey,would vote for us, and In as manywards as possible, as long as he couldbe kept in bis present blissful state ofvicious ignorance.

When we arrived at the horse-pe- n,

we found the meeting under way,and Sloppy Smith nearly through oneof the most vituperous and billings-gate harangues that this enthusiasticpolitician could indulge in ; he saidin his dosing remarks:

" My coveyp, bullies of the beerstamp, are you prepared to be pulledby these lousy cops as we have topay taxes to watch us, as to whetherwe violate this damn law thisslavish Finch and his cold-wat- er hire-lings, edict? These old woman pray-ing bands, and these secret societies,are ruining the business interests ofBrownvllle. Look how much ourpresident has lost in this outrageousmovement of these Finch drilled vil-lian- s.

See with what patient braverythe Captain hus waited around thesteps of'his saloon for the coming "

"Keep to der pint, und scbtop ber-son- al

gap!" demanded the president."Howly Moses!" broke ill Larry,

"you old rowlly-powlly- ,. are yez thechap what keeps the fiuches?"

"Var vat Vinches you schpeko, Idone no?" inquired the president.

"Wat finch?" said Larry, 'yeraquare lookin' old mud-eye- d, bottle-nose- d,

thing roostin'on a horse-bo- x. as not to know as Imint, as well as the giotleraan whowas spakin', the finches as got theirbill in the whiskey."

"Vill you schtop your gap?" saidthe esteemed man of the chair.

"By the powers of Moll Kelley, I'llstop 3'er gappin' that way at me, withyer big boggle eyes," said the IrateHoulegan And before the twinklingof a drunken eye in the crowd, he upBet the trough. And as this very eff-

icient officer rolled off, he placed itlengthwise over his prostrate form,completely covering him. over, andmounting on the bottom he began todance a jig, and singing:'Sayshe. 'I'll bet you fifty ponnd.-an- pnt It

down this mlnlt,''O, ten to one,' says I, 'the form'est horse

will win It.'Wish a ring a do, a ding, a ding a daddy, 0 !"

"Mnrter! vire! hell! took him off!took him off!" ca'me forth a smotber-ep- ,

sepulchral tone from beneath theinverted horse trooghi

Everything was mad confusion.AH of a sudden, staggering under aload of beer in his person; LankyDedwood ambled into the crowd likean awkward boy on stilts, and beingbehind Larry, he seized the side ofthe trough, and turningitover, causedthis hilarious Hibernian to turn acomplete somersault, knocking GreasyMoll Into a ditch, and liberating thealmost smothered presiding officer.This little feat sprained Larry's back

y that, he lay still, groaningand cursing the spalpeens. --

,;,.-"Are you hurt, L'arry ?" I asked,

on corolng.up to where be lay. .

arfl

"Hurled the divil, I'm a most kfll-ed- "

he groaned out.Things having been righted, the

meeting was again called to order,and there being no one In the humoror sober enough to speak- - the presi-dent called for the committee on res-

olutions.Greasy ifollj being chairman of the

committee, stood up on a beer kegthat had been brought over fromPhelps to help carry the election, andread with great womanly emotion, asfollows:

"Whereas, A wise and henificentSpirit has granted and vouchsafed tous tliis another privilege of meeting'In a quiet and peaceful manner, 'Withnone to molest aod make afraid,' "(keeping an eye on Larry), "to ex-

press 'ourselves of the utter ha'tredwhich we hold towards the temperance people here and everywhere,and our determination to burn, mnr-de- r,

steal, rob, destroy and utterlyannihilate, the town of Brownvllle ifthey preslst in voting against our Ba-cr- ed

and God given rights of doing aswe please, without respect to feelings,morals, religion, decency, law, or anyother opposing thing or things, person or persons, powers or municipali-ties. Therefore be It

"Resolved, That we pledge our.pelves as brothers and sisters to alandby the old flag of Bacchus, and to diewith his spirit moving our minds asIt will to raise old Nicholas generally.

"Resolved, 2d, That, we will votefor no man or men who belongs tochurch or any moral society. and thatdoes not openly or secretly drink liq-

uor, and pledge himself to let us opensaloons and bawdy houses, and givefree liioense to cultivate vicious pas-sions and develop licentious debauch-pr- y

to the free moral agents thatchoose that way.

"Signed. Greasy Moll,"Chairman."

The Hon. Philip C. Hayes, of Ill-

inois delivered a very sensible andpointed spppch in Congress upon na-

tional finances. His reply to Mr.Chittenden, of New York, was.sharp.He said:

Now, plr, I wish to say to the gen-

tleman from New York that he iswholly ignorant of the wants andwishes of the farmers of the West ifhe fa to ba judged by the languageemployed in the speeeh from which Ihavp quoted. I can tell him that if hewere to go among the farmers of theWest and talk to them as he talks tous in this speech they would tell himthat he did not know what he wastalking about. These men are satis-fied with both the silver dollar andthe greenback bote which the gentle-man sneers at so contemptuously.They have never had a currency thatsuited them so well as the greenbackcurrency, and If they are being cheat-ed in receiving either that currencyor the silver dollar in exchange forthe produce of their farms they havenot yet discovered it, although, I im-

agine, if such were the casp, theywould dicover it about as quickly asthe gentleman from New York.I want him to understand, moreover,that I live among the farmers of theWest; that I come in contact everyday wheti I am at home; and that, iknow something of thpir wants andneeds. I can tell him, also, that thishonest, hard-workin- g, and intelligentclass of citizens are satisfied witli ourfinancial system as it is, and do notwant it overthrown in order that anew system may be built up to suitthe money-king- s of Wall street,whose peculiar ideas are advocated soearnestly on this door by the gentle-man from New York.

In planting new orchard, or evensingle fruit trees, we hope our read-

ers the coming spring will avoid theerror of manurirg the ground, eventhough the soil is quite impoverished.The second year, when the trees arewell established, they may be man-ured with advantage. The growth ofa newly transplanted tree the firet-pumme- r

is but little and the treesnepd but little food. To furnish richfood is really to invite dippape. Anewly transplanted tree may be re-

garded as an invalid that is, itsgrowth and vigor have suffered a se-

vere check, and nature at once sets towork to supply all that was lost in theremoval, as in the case of an injuredperson she endeavors to heal thewound. SureJjr at PDb times strongfood Is not to be recommended. Themot and best that we can do is tosupply mellow earth and to see thatthe roots and fibers are placed In con-

tact with it, and in Case of drought tospread over the earth, a little furtherthan the roots extend, a layer of hayor straw, so that some little moisturemay be retained. RiiralNetC' Yorkcrt

Correspondent London Times.Now tocometo the cbargeof drunk-

enness. It was no doubt a crying eviltwenty years ago, and still the spiritbottle plays a prominent- - part where-eve- r

you go in Sweden. But there Ismudh improvement on the old days.Of course, I have learned what Icould of the Gothenburg system. Mr.Chamberlln hasmadeitso well knownin England by his advocacy that 1 1

need not explain ftt any length whatthe plan Is. But to make my reportupon it.clear, I will briefly say that Itis a system by which the local author-ities of towns In Sweden assume thecontrol of the wholesale and retailconsumption of spirituous liquors.The sale is prohibited save at authori-zed establishments. So far, it resem-bles ourown system. But In Swedennil the profit made by the sale overand above G per cent is appropriatedby the town. This at once removesthe motive to encourage excess whichactuate the drink seller in England.The management of the wholesale inGothenburg It conducted by a com-

pany, who let out the various estab-lishments to persons who mu3t havethe approval of tho Town Council.Anything above the very moderateprofit of G per cent does not go Intothe pocket of the company, but Intothe municipal purse. The seller getsonly a very small share of the 0 percent, and consequently the demandfor spirit licenses does not even equalthe supply. In Gothenburg sixty-thre- e

houses are permitted, not quiteone per 1,000 inhabitants, a very mod-eratesupp-

Likeother monopolies.I thought it must lead to Illicit sale,hnt t could find no trace of any suchabuse, and was assured it did not ex-

ist. The establishments are permit-ted also to furnish food, wine, ale, andporter. Drunkenness is strictly pro-

hibited ; all houses .are closed at 9 atnight, and none are opened at allfrom Saturday evening to Mondaymorning. I visited one or two ofthem, and I lunched at one in thequarter described as the most disorder-ly in Gothenburg. It was clean andquiet. The food was good, servedon fresh white cloth. In a room hungwith the engravings of Gothenburg.An excellent dish of meat and pota-toes, With as much bread as I liked,cost me 4d. Sailors were my compan-ions at table. They were not onlyorderly but polite, and in none of therooms of this or the other establish-ment were the slightest signs of ex-

cess. During my stay in Gothenburgof sereral days, spent chiefly in stroll-ing ahnut the streets, I saw only threepeople the worse for liquor. Thpreare, however, objections to thesystetzl.It, so to speak, legalizes drink, andmakes it rpsppctable. In the old daysa man of position would not enter adrinking shop ; he has not now thesame objection to go lntn-a-n establish-ment under the public protection.Drunkenness Is prohibited, butdrink- -

Ing i sanctioned. While thesystpmIm a protection to the poor man againsthis favorite vice. It is almost an en-

couragement to the rich. Then,again, the town profits much by thesurplus revenue which used only tobpnefit the publican. Tho poor house,the school, the public gardens, Inshort, all municipal institutions, aremore easily entertained. Nearly every town in Sweden has adopted theplan. It has beeji in force in Stock- -

holm for over two years. In 18o4twenty-on- e liters of spirits wpredrankper head to the population; in 1S78

only ten liters were consumed, andr.iuce then I am assured there hasbeen a ptill greater, diminution of con-

sumption. .-T I Si

WASHINGTON', March i. Secretary Scbnrz spent two hours with thS

joint committee on Indian affairs, to-

day explaining the details of'hisagreement with the TJte Indians. Hbalso submitted a hill which he haddrawn to carry out the agreement,the passage of Which he asked ofCongresp. The bill provides for Ihrtratification of the.agreement betweenSecretary Schnrt and Ouray, anctan-tborlz- es

a commission to negotiatewith the Utes for a treaty unde,rwhich they shall surrender to thaUnited Slates Government thejr reservatlon In Colorado upon certain"conditions. The.e conditions are

1. That each, Indian man, womanand child shall have lo0 acres of landIn neveralty within the limits of thelirpresent reservation on theGrand Riv-er, about fifty miles sonth of the"

Grand River Agency.2. That the United States shall pay

the Indians $1,250,000. which shall bInvesfpd in 4 per cent bonds of tha"

United Statep, and the Interest uponwhich shall he paid to them quarter-ly, together with the $25,000 ppr yearthat lsnwing them under the existing"treaty

3. The government Is to build fhorrihouses to the value of witha saw-mi- ll find grist-mil- l. They arealso to be furnished with horses,, cat-

tle, agricultural implements, and sujhother equipments as will be necessaryfor them to pfart on the roa"rf to for-

tune as herdsmen and farmers.4. Four thousand dollars is to bfl

distribdted pacfa year among thprrt inreasonable amounts' in the natnre ofawards to thoso who have made thomostprogrpR toward civilization. T

5. Tho annual salary of $1,000 thatis now paid to Ouray shnll be contin-ued to him through his natural life.,

Thepp are in brief tha condition!)under which the Utes are anked tosurrender the greater part of theirreservation. Under them they willbe allowed to retain about SOOiOOO.

acres.The Colorado delegation are not at

all satisfied with this arrangement.They particularly ohjectpd to the lo-

cation that has been selected, whifjhthey say is the heart of-- the riiinerrflregion of Colorado. Spnatof .Tellerexpresses himself very frpely. Hosays the terms proposed in SecretarySchtirz's bill are so liberal that suchlegislation will be merely an induce-ment offered to other tribes to massa-er- e

their Sgeht ahd h!s employes.jrav-is- h

their wives and daughters, andburn the buiidingsof the agency, forunder the terms the Secretary has sug-

gested the Utes will be better off thanthey were before, while the citizensof Cblorado and the government willpuffer all the disadvantages of thechange. Mr. Teller thinks that Ou-

ray Is a sharper man than Schurz, forevery actual and possible advantage"of this new arrangement is on theside of the Indians. Instead of beingpunished for the crime they havecommitted, Senator Teller Pays thatthe Utes are now to be rewarded, andif this arrangement Is consumated byact of Congress, It will merely encour-age outbreaks among the Indi-ans As occurred last fall

Whenever ahy ontlay. S"tate or" Na-

tional, is proposed for the benefitofthe supreme Industry of the codntryagriculture journalists and politi-

cians are ever ready to denounce theproject on tho ground that other Industrlpi receive no Governmental aid,and therefore that agriculture has nilright to expect it. But does hot everybranch of our home manufactures re-

ceive a subsidy from the Governmentto the extent of the Import duties lev-le- d

for Its protection upon similarwares made In other countries?Though the farmer snffera frnmj thinshutting out of foreign competition onfavorable terms with domentio manu-factures, by tho higher prices he hasto pay for his goods, yet he receivesno equivalent aid in his own speclslcalling. It Is not our object herp,however, to discuss "free trade," butto call sppelal attention towhataeemsto us a flagrant instance of over-pro- -

tection by which thousands of" ourfriends are Injured.-- Tho toil for aboat-loa- d of 240 tons of foreign saltover the 345 miles between Troy andBufTslo, Is $414, or at the rate of $1.72per ton. A boat-loa- d of domestic salt

j of the same weight over the same distance pays only 582 80, or at the ratsof34icts. per ton. In other wnrdethe tolls on foreign salt over the ErieCahal are five times as great as thoseon domestic salt on the same weightand for the same distance. The objectoftbls discrimination is to "protect"the Onondaga salt manufacture, andIts victims are chiefly the farmers m(

the West and .Northern Middle Stateawho consequently have to pay higherprices for the salt they use In theirdairies ahd for numerous other pur-'- 'poses. It must aio be remembered
