Tns Liquor Traffic.???In Rev. Dr. Wylie'
chttrcb, the first reformed Presbyterian,
Broad street, Philadelphia, below Spruce,
Rev. D. C. Babcock preached yesterday morn
ing on ???Temperance.??? In the afternoon
Joshua L. Baily and the Rev. C. H. Mead
spoke in the same church on the same sub
ject, and in the evening another temperance
service was held in the Twentieth street
E. church, at the comer of Twentieth and
Jefferson streets, the speakers being Rev.
0. Babccck, Rev. C. H. Mead and Rev. 8. N,
Chew. Dr. Babcock said:
Reforms are founded on principles. Prim
ciples are either right or wrong. They never
change. Allegiance to them must be full'
There can be no half-way obedience. The
temperance movement is founded or princi
pies, and these principles arc right ones. The
press may ridicule the movement and
leaders, but there is no denyiog the fact that
the whole question has grown so in late years
that it is absorbing more attention from the
public journals thsn ever before. The liquor
traffic is the greatest evil that ever confronted
Christianity. Slavery was but a baby evil
compared to it. One of the greatest troubles
we in the movement have to contend against
is the spirit ot compromise. The conserva
tism of the day strikes at the very heart of
tbo warfare we are waging, Some say: "This
traffic cannot be suppressed. So try to modi
fy it.??? But I say to them: It is something
caused by wan, and man can stop it. Why,
it couldn???t exist adecade of years if the church
stood united against it. Still they claim it
would be well, as a matter of policy, to yield
a little, but do you notknow that if you yield
??? little you will really undermiue the whole
foundation? A queer condition of things is
found in the contrast between the American
beer congress and ourselves. The congress
deplores the evils ol intemperance, and po9cs
before the public as an agent doing morogood
for the temperance cause than we, the tom-
perauce workers. It claims that we are too
radical, and argues that, ln&9muca as thessle
cannot be stopped, the next best thing to do
is to embarrass it by high license. But high
license won't stop it, and besides, to licenses
wrong is a wrong in itself am) a bad princi
ple. A man once asid to me that if the num
her of saloons were decreased it would be i
good thing, for the others would then become
more respectable. Ah, don???t do that, don't
mako them "more respectable.??? It???s your
???respectable??? barrooms, your Colonnade
hotels and your Continental hotel and your
-Girard bouse, with their opportunities for
respectable drinking, that is playing the very
devil with the best blood of the city. No,
the best way is the right way, and the right
way is to prohibit. Remove the cause, and
the effect disappears. Therefore, let there bet
for the indevict ual the rule of total abstinence,
and for the state the law of prohibition.
Blinded Whisky.??????Three-fourths of the
whisky used is ???blended whisky,??? ??? saida we;l
known dealer yesterday.
??? ???Blended whisky???? What is that?'
??? A vile concoction, artificially flavored and
with a fancy name tacked on to make it sell.
Don???t you know how they do it?"
The reporter confessed his ignorance.
???I???ll tell you. You must remember that
very few men are good judges of whisky, no
matter how they boost about it. Regular
drinkers are the wont judges of all, fer they
soon burn the keen edge off tboir palates,
and this fact gives the 'blended??? article its
chance. A rectifier puts ten gallons of fine
old Oibson or Trimble or somo other good
whisky into a barrel with thirty gallons of
neutral spirits. This mixture he flavors witli
peach syrup or prune juice, adds burnt sugar
to give it a color, invents a ???taking??? name for
it and puts it on the market.???
"How about the government gauger?
Doesn???t he detect the cheat when his services
arc called in?"
???Oh, be has nothing to do with that. It'_
his business to find out how many proof gal
lons the barrel contains, ami lie's guided by
the strengrh of the alcohol. When he's
through ho puts on bis stamp, certifying that
he gauged the barrel on such a day and that
it contained so many gallons, etc. The rec
tifier now offers it for sale as ???pure old rye???
and the consumers never know the differ
ence.???
"But you have said nothing about the sec
ond stamp. I thought whisky always had two
"Good wbMrfHd . I see you knows li
about the busu... und i???ll explain that
you in a few words. A distiller makes
whisky from the grain, rye or corn or wh
or barley, any of them will produce it;
Ireland they make it from potatoes, a???d
???tores it in a government warehouse. It is
gusged and stamped when it???s entered and
allowed to remain there two years. During
that time tt ages and evaporates, and of
course increases in value. Now. when the
owner sells it, it is guaied again to show the
loss hy evaporation andduly stamped. That???s
how it gets the second stamp.???
???Is the ???blended??? whisky more injurious
than the poor????
???Certainly. That???s the whisky that fills
our jails. The blended stuff being three-
fourths neutral spirits, is full of ether and
files straight to the head. When a man fills
up on that the first thing be wants to do is to
fight, or to kick up a row of some kind. It???s
a quick and violent stimulant, whereas pure
whisky is more gentle in Its action.???
Ducks on a Bender ??? Oneof the attractions
of a liquor saloon in Kut Newark is a pair
of Muscovy ducks. A stranger going in
would see nothing remarkable about them
except their extraordinary six*, but the regu
lar patrons of the saloon know very well
what the birds want when they approach with
a gentle ???quack."
Theyseem no*, to care what their tipple is.
They will gulp down beer or whisky with
equal satisfaction. They nod their heads
before drinking, ond this, the nroprietor of
the siloon thinks, is their mode of indica
ting that the libation is dedicated to the
health of the donor. It is, clearly, not con
ducive to their own, for after two or three
repetitions of the social draught their eyes
assume a foggy, far-away expression, and
they rub their heads with increasing fervor
and affection against the legs of the cos
toman.
From the drunkenness ot affection they
pus to the drunkenness of hilarity. They
waddle ataggeringly around the saloon,

iteiligiblc, furnish the bystanders with a
good deal of fun. Men wno would not by
any means offer one of their friends a glass
of liquor open their hearts and their pockets
and minister to the vices of these dissipated
docks, nnlil tbs drunkenness of hilarity
merges into the drunkenness of pugnacity,
and, with gaping heaks and uncertain feet,
they strive, ineffectually, to ininre each
other.???New York Sun.
Wnat Ltqcoa Costs thk Nation???The
latest nnmber of the Christian Union pre
sents an effective diagram showing the rela
tive annual expenditure for the different
articles which enter into general consump
tion. It will surprise some rood people to
learn that the amount spent for bread added
to that spent for meat is leu by a hundred
million dollars than the amount spent for
liquor. Abolish the sale of liquors
nearly enough htoney would be saved to pay
for all the woolen god-ls, sawed lumber, cot
ton goods, boots and stores and sugar and
molasses now consumed. As great as has
been our expenditure In railroad buildin :
and equipment and our use of iron and stce
in the various branches of industry, the total
annual amount spent for those two great
staples is lees than half the expenditure for
liquor. Abolish liquor and the money saved
would support ten schools where now there
is but one. The consumption of liquor, ex
cept that comparatively small portion used
for mechanical and scientific purposes, isun-
f - reductive; that ia, it plays no part in assuri
ng in future production; it is simply used
with no good results so far as adding to the
wealth of the countiy is concerned. If the
money spent for spirits were turned into pro
duction again three laborers could be sup
ported where two are now employed. Bach

THE OLD TICKET.
-A C.??*
Umw It la Bwtfplac Tremgb ike Cooalrj
termed CtHcd.
Columbus, April 8.???I have had some
doubts all along as to the truth of the report
that Mr. Tildenwas an active and real candi
date for the presidency this year. I am now
convinced, however, that he is, and that his
friends will make a most formidable showing
in the national convention.
This information comes from so direct
source that no doubt is left in my mind
whatever os to Us authenticity. A prominent
Pennsylvania democrat, who for years has
been the conddential political and business
adviser ot Mr. Tlldeu, was in the city yester
day and to-day, and this evening goes to In
dianapolis. During a conversation with the
gentleman I finally got out of him that
was here on a political mission, and that mie-
sion looked to the nomination of Mr. Tilden
to the presidency.
???Is Mr. Tilden seeking the nomination? 1
inquired.
???No, sir;???nor did he seek the nomination
in 1876. He was then, and is now, a candi
date for the nominati->n???not a seeker after
it. It the party choose to nomine e him
he will fully oppreci ate the groatoi
the honor; if another is nominated, Mr.
Tilden will make no complaints, but will
warmly support the nominee, whoever he
may be." I inquired.
??? Was Mr. Tilden desirous of the nomina
tion in 1880????
In the sense that any statesman is desir
ous of achieving tbo highest civic honors.
His letter to the convention was miscon
strued, and purposely misconstrued, by tbo
Tammany element. But for this miscon
struction Mr. Tilden would havo been nomi
nated iu 1880, and elected os ho was in 1876,
only his majority would have been so over
whelming that the raostdesperate republican
thief would not have dared to attempt to
steal tho presidency again."
???How was the letter of Mr. Tilden miscon
strned????
???The purport of the letter was this: Mr.
Tilden said that he had no claim upon the
democratic party or the country???tho fact
that he bad been elected and the office stolen
from him gave him no claims upon tho con
sideration of the convention???that private
wrongs entitled no man to public considera
tion to the prejudice ot any other candidate
for that consideration. In other words, Mr.
Tilden said to the Cincinnati convention that
in the consideration of his candidacy iu 1880
the rape of the presidency in 1876 must not
have the weight of a feather.???
???And how was this letter misinterpreted???????
???The enemies of Mr. Tilden seised upon
his seif abnegation and his anxiety that the
presidential theft of 1876 should not be
counted in bis favor as against any other
candidate, and misconstrued it into a request
that some other man be nominated so as not
to bring uptDo question ol the stealing of
the presidency."
???And that is how General Hancock came
to lie nominated instead of Mr. Tilden in
1880?"
???Precisely.???
???But suppose it bad been Tilden instead
of Hancock, wonld tho result have boon dif
ferent?"
Yes, sir; Mr. Tilden would have made an
aggressive war from the first. That is the
way lie won in 1876. The aggressive party is
always successful. That is tno way you have
carried Ohio for two successive years. In-
stead o( standing behind barricades, you have
aienuui biuuuui^ ijcuiuu uwnwtuta.juu uou
taken the open field and captured the en
emy.???
???You are going over to Indianapolis,??? I
suggested, ???and will probably meet Mr. Hen
dricks???s friends ????
???I may???well, yes, I will???but why do yi
inquire? Do you suppoto that Mr. Hendricks
is in any way interested in Mr. l???ilden???s can
didacy ????
???Only to tho extent of being tbo second
man on the ticket.???
"He could, no doubt, get the second place,
but he wouldn???t have it. You know person
ally what a difficult matter it was to induce
him to take tho nomination in 1876, as you
were one of the party that went by special
train from St Louis to Indianapolis, where
after hard work, the committee finally in
duced him to withdraw IPs declination of the
nomination to the vice presidency. Mr.
Hendricks didn???t expect nor desire thq sec
ond place if Mr. Tilden had been nominated
in 1880, and be doesn???t expect nor would he
take the nomination this year if Mr. Tilden
' named for the presidency."
???Is it true that unfriendly relations subsist
between Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks????*
???No, sir. On the contrary their relations
are of the friendliest character, and there is
no man in the country would feel more re
joiced to see Mr. Tilden elevated to the presi
dency than Mr. Hendricks."
???Let us suppose,??? I said, ???that Mr. Tilden
is nominated at Chicago, who will rioo-t Use
ticket with him?"
???An Ohio man I think,???
???And his name is "
???Governor George Hoadly.???
???But you seem to forget that we have an
Ohio man who is a candidate) for the first
place."
???You refer, of course, to Senator Payne.
Now permit me tossy that nothing wouldgive
Tilden greater pleasure than to see Mr.
Payne president, and nothing would give
Ur. Payne moro pleasure than to see Mr. Til-
den president. There is no rivalry between
them. There will be none. Mr. Payne coaid
doubt get the solid delegation from Ohio,
is entitled to it. When you sunt him to
senate from Ohio you made proclamation
the rest of the country that the democratic
party in Ohio believed in recalling
statesmen from the ostracism so long prac
ticed by the republican party, list Mr.
Payne isn???t a candidate for the presidency in
sense of the word. He is for Mr. Tilden.
quite true that the Chicago convention
may uot nominate Mr. Tilden, and it may
nominate Mr. Payne, bnt Mr. Payne it just
now anxious to see Mr. Tilden Dominated."
You have been feeling the democratic
pulse here???what do you think will be the
complexion of the delegation at Chicago????
A Urge majority of the Ohio delegates
be for Mr.
How will they he in Pennsylvania???? 1
???Almost solid in bit behalf.???
And in New York????
Every wing of the party there will go into
_ convention and unanimously ask for Mr,
Tilden???s nomination.???
Do you think so????
I am absolutely satisfied on that point
John Kelly himself, will offer tbs name of
Mr. Tilden before the convention.- TnisU
already understood in New York, and after a
personal interview between Mr. Tilden an-1
Kelly, with all the factions of New York
nni???el on Mr. Tilden, he wonld go over
andiSpujten Durii Creek with 100000 majority.
and no republican candidal* aonld nreethim
there with more th*n 15 000 or 20,000 ???
???And what of Mr. Tilden???s physical con
dition????
???It is excellent He has always beon a man
of correct habits, and carries bis years well.
All this stuff that is printed about him from
time to time is idiocy where it isn???t down
right falsehood.???
???How do you think Indiana's delegation
will stand at Chicago????
???I couldn't say I'll ba better prepared to
speak on that subject when I see you next
week.???
This gentleman's enthusiasm convinced
me that there is a good deal in the moves
ment to give Mr. Tilden the presidential
nomination. The feeling in that direc
tion is strong among the mem
bers of the legislature. Out of the
eighty-two members of the two houses fifty-
four are openly and avowedly fortbe nomina
tion of Mr. Tilden???after Tilden, and in tho
event ho is not a candidate, the democrats in
the legislature are nearly a unit for Payne.
MINNESOTA FOB TILDEN.
8t. Paul, Minn., April 7.???A call lor the
democratic state convention was is*ued for
St. Paul April 29. There will be 317 dele
gates. The call takes strong ground in favor
of a tariff reduction. The general sentiment
among democrats of the state favora Mr. Til
den if he isavaiiable, with Senator Bayard as
second choice. Payne Is but seldom spoken
of and Flower never, except by P. H. Kelly
when among intimates. Kelly will head the
delegation to Chicago.

???IvanhOO.??????Tills is tho noblest of the Waverly novels. It Is dramatic, stirring, histori
cal, and deals with the cruendee of tho Knights of Europe for tho love of Christ against
Saiadin and his followers. It is a pageant of horoio battles, sieges and tournaments.
Oliver Twist.???The greatest work of Dickens???full of humor and tho pathos of that
matchless writer. Muthere and fathers tho world over havo wept over the story of llttis
Oliver. This book is s revelation.
Swiss Family Roblnson.-r-Tlie adventures of a Swiss clergyman and his family
wrecked on a desert island. Tito book ranks with Robinson Crusoe, and shows what
heroism and patience can do. The description of tho homo in the giant tree and tbs
adventures with strange animals Is incomparable.
Children Of???tho Abboy,???Next to Robinson Crusoe end one or two other books
more copies of this pure, pathetlo and nobio story have been sold than of any othes
book printed.
Last of tho Mohicans.???Of ell the Indian books, none equal this in Intonso Interest
and beauty. Tho marvellous skill and prowess of Hawkeye, tho woodcraft of the Indi
ans, the desperato fights in the forest,???the lofty beauty of the whole book is worthy of
Cooper and the Leather Stocking Talcs of which it is first and best.
Robinson Crusoo.???Of this great book it is usoloes to speak. It is the clsssio of the
world. The men, woman or child who fails to read it missea the rarest of treats.
20,000 Leagues Undor tho Sea.???The sensation created by this greatest of
Jules Verne* work* U indescribable. It is tho story ot a man who invented an electris
boat in which bo lived under tho ocean. His journeys under the ses, his conflicts with
submarine monsters are of thrilling interest, and hold tho mind enchained.
Pilgrim???s Progress.???Of this work of Immortal John Runyan we need lay nothing.
It should bo ou tho table of every Christian homo.
Tho Scottish Chiefs.???The struggles of Bruro end Wallace and,their brave compan
ions ia told by Miss Porter ia a book of surpassing interest. Every page has Its chapter
of noble and heroic action.
ThO Arabian Nights.???The 1000 stories of Eastern magnificence and adventure are

A WORD IN CL08ING
Now one word In closing to our readers.
??? Every father wants to givo bis children the best advantage* possible to his circumstances.
Nothing improves young people so much ss judicious reading. Nothing is pleasanter for
middle life or old ago than the reading of interesting books. Thera Is no amusement purer
and more ennobling than to have the father or mother or ono of the eons or daughters read a
chapter each night or two or three nights in tho week, in tho family.
It is the earneet desire of the Constitution to give Its readers all the reading they wont at
lower price* lli??n it can be hod elsewhere and this wo intend to do. We have bought 10,000
ceple* of these hu-Ii* at one order. We get them cheaper by taking this number at once and
paying cn*li limn any book atore enn get them. The regular prico, as you will see on the
covers is $1.00 in New York???to which pottage is added. Wo sell them to you at cost price,
nitdiug simply the postage and cost of handling. You cannot buy them anywhere for lee*
ilian $1.15 delivered, end usually $1.40. They are printed on clear, big, new typo and con be
rood by old or young; and hound stoutly in black and gold cloth so that they will last.
Now you can afford to gratify youraelf and your family by buying at least one of there
liooka. Seventy cent* is but little for such a book. If you are in a club, persuade other
members of the club to buy other boobs. You can then lend to each other and thus hare ??
good library for each neighborhood. Each book is a masterpiece und filled with pure senti
ment and thrilling interest. They will ennoble the minds of children, interest and instruct
them???give the keenest pleasure to each member of your family, and make your homes
happier ami brighter.
We want to put the Constitution Library into every village and neighborhood In the
Southern State*. When wc have exhausted this order wo will make up 10 now books and
Start another scries.
Order ??t onee- We guarantee that either of the books will pie&so you, and cost just hall
what you won id pay elsewhere. Select one of the books, send 70 cents sud we will send it to
you postpaid ond nicely wrapped.
