THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION: TUESDAY APRIL 15, IS84- TWELVE BASEST' OUR ANTI-LIQUOR FIGH Against the Demon of Intemperance For Happy Homes and a Happy People. fWe solicit abort letters riving tbs evil efr.i t. liquor lncommuoitiev. as sii.i* .it by the w,r t wedon'tcarefursrgumeutv. Wu wnntfscU anil flfures. fend them la. mothers fathers, wires, sons, everybody, and help la the fight against tbls terrible and growing evil.) 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.

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, 2 Backing out jokes which, though not wholly 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 a statement of facia needs no comment???De troit Times. 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. butler's balance or foweb. Washington, April 8.???Intimate friends hereof General Butler say that before the meeting of the national democratic conven tion the general will nlrer.dy he in the field with two presidential nominations, that of tho greenbackersandot tho labor reformers They say that with any other candidate but Tilden this will give General Butler the balance of power ns between the two parties and throw the election into the house of representatives.
