There are 1,000.000 drunkard# in

the people annually die drunkards:
100,000 men and women sent to pris
through this iniquity: 200,000
children thrown on the charity of

crime committed in this country is
committed under the influence of
strof% drink. In Canada, out of 28-
289 to jail, 21,236 com
mitted their%ime under the influ
ence of strong drink. Dr. Harris,
inspector of the prison in New York
State says that 85 per cent of all
the crime is the result of intemper
ance. There are 30,000 maniacs
and idiots in this country uow as a re
suit of intemperance. England pays
$400,000 yeitfly for alcoholic insane
paupers. Comstock, the Qua

Judge Black of Pennsylvania, who
acts as lawyer for the Mormons in
their fight against civilization, has
some very decided opions about the
Edmunds’s law and the work of the
commission under it. He says that
thelav is infamous for reasons in
inunmerable that it is a bill of pains
and pedalties, that it punishes with
out trial, that it assumes the pre
sence of guilt, require men to clear
themselves by an oath, and in this
way makes a man witness against
himself, and that it is ex-po3t facto
in its operation. Disfranching men
and depriving them of civil rights
unless they will swear that they are
not polygamists 'the Judge thinks is
a kind of iniquity that would not be
practiced, or even thought of, against
anybody but Mormons.
