AsnoaitlmeagoTus Cosiairnrios published
a statistical paragraph showing that In proportion
to population the north contained twice as many
Saloons as thesouth, The paragraph has been
.■widely copied and the only attempt at a counter-
phoning that has been made comes from the San-
Trancisco Chronicle. Onr contemporary says:
.'■The simple explanation ol this is that the
fouthern elates named have lew large cities and
Uew towns in comparison with the northern states.
Uhe town makes the whisky saloon, and no one
ever saw a saloon thrive In the country. The
nomhern planter docs not depend upon the town
lialoon for bis whisky, as the northern farmer
docs, ne keeps a barrel ol It at home
amd he takes hit toddy with tho regu-
Sarity: ol clockwork. The saloon he abandons

The chronicle man Is drawing upon his re
collections of the antebellum period.
St a well- known fact that during tho past fifteen
Scars the temperance reform has made more sub
stantial progress In tho south than In any othor
(section of the country. It It far easier to bay a
drink in a total prohibition atato like Maine than
* in the local option conntles of tbo aouth. Out
planters were carried along with the temperance
wave, and many who stood ont agalnit It, as a
matter ol principle, finally yielded became they
Xotind that liquor demoralized their labor iystem.
The testimony ol all northern travelers and cone-
Dpondents places tho aouth at ths head of the tem

THE lottery la Havana Is a government fasti-
button, and It supposed to be fairly conducted. It
has done more to debauch public morals than
anything else. Thousands ol pcoplo In Havana
regularly invest all their surplus earnings In lot
tery tickets, and go on year alter year ilroamiugot
ghe fortune never to be realized. An old citizen
’ ol Havana has Invested Irom two to fifteen dollars
every week In lottery tickets (or twenty-two years,
gtnd has never won a prize.
A wohjlx named Von de Linder has Just been
convicted of poisoning a number of pcoplo In Hoi*

and the mother ol several children. In the past

End forty-five were made seriously III. The poison
er confessed her guilt, and said that she had no
motive. It Is believed that she was In-
- (oxteated when the committed the crimes.
Ihe medical men who examined Von de Linden
found her perfectly sane. Her counael admitted
that she was a monster suficrlng from moral In-
Eonlty. The com pnszlcd the court, and sentence

fa* however, one remarkable difference. The

It ia to be regretted that Mayor Grace should
havo so far forgotten himself ns to assert In his ad
dress that "there is on intimate connection be
tween good beer and good government." Such
talk from a public man occupying a high official
station la calculated to do much mischief. In
point of foot thcro Is no connection betwocn good
beer and good government How can thcro
be? On the contrary* it has
beta truly said that "a man Who drinks boor
thinks beer." Now, the man who thlnki beer or
speaks beer*as Mayor Grace did to tho convention
cannot be as well qualified to Investigate and
decide great problems of government as a man
who keeps hla head unmuddled. Three pints ot
bcerlnaman will make him vote foolishly or
wickedly, and perhaps lead him into
a violation of law. Good beer will do this. Good
beer leads a poor working-man to squander his
money, neglect hla family and makes him a sleepy
stupldfass, instead of a wide-awake, industrious
man. Mayor Grace talks nonsense when he lays
down such broad propositions. A msn must have
been drinking very bad beer to go around spout
ing about the Intimate connection ol beer with
msgna charts, the. declaration ol independence,
the American eagle and.othcr things which Host
at the foundation of good government as wo un
derstand it. It won't do.
Gum arable caters are springing up in our large

will suffice for a day's rations if no other food is
