MORE MONET A SUGGESTION.
If the government can safely issue an
unlimited amount of irredeemable paper
currency and loan it to the people on
the subtreasury plan or in any other
way, why should two per cent, or any
other rate of interest be charged? Why
not loan it to the people free? If
it be a good thing to place money in the
hands of the people at a reduction of six
to eight per cent, below current rates, it
surely would be better to wipe out the
interest altogether; and if not why not?
The cost to the governmet of the paper,
. engraving and printing could be met by
issuing enough greenbacks to cover it.
If the printing Ac., of a few billions of
paper money should cost the govern
ment, say quarter of a million let the
government simply print a quarter of a
million extra and the cost is met. If
the two per cent, interest is intended
to help pay the running expenses of the
government, why not issue paper money
to meet these running expenses and
thereby still further lighten the burdens
of the borrowing classes? In fact if irre
deemable paper money is as good a
thing as it is cracked up to be, there is
no sense in the world in the govt-r. .em

sopth tiiere is no limit to what might be
done in this line. If we want a navy
and coast defenses just issue enough
greenbacks to pay for them and there

opening and improvment, let the work
be done and pay for it in greenbacks. It
would not then matter a picayune
whether the next congress was a "billion
dollar congress" or a ten billion one
for not a dollar of the cost would come
out of the people's pocket. There would

rapidly that it has now a poet office of

the East Fork of Hood River. The land

setting up rapidly with an excellent class
of emigrants, and for a summer resi
dence there are few more desirable places
in the world, while the winters are
very little colder than many other parts
of this county. Mr. Cooper informs us
that there is still room for many moie
families whom the present settler would
gladly welcome.
We very seriously question the accu
racy of "tie authoratative statistics" of
a late Berlin dispatch which figures that
Catholicity has lost, up to the preseut,
in the United States, i6,000,000 persons.
These so-called "authoratative statistics"
are used to prove that according to the
number of Catholic emigrants from En
rope, the Catholic population of the
Unites ought to be 26,000,000, whereas it
is only 10,000,000. It is not possible
that any such apostary has taken place
and no American of any intelligence
1' believe it.
It may be a surprise to many to learn
tnat fruit raising on Tygh Ridge is no
longer an experiment. Mr. Thorburn
has apple and pear trees that have not
failed of a crop for ten years, while his
peach trees have yielded, on an average,
a good crop every second year. No finer
apples are grown anywhere. The writer
last Sunday ate some of Mr. Thomburn's
last year's apples that were as sound as
the day they were plucked off the tree.
This year his ingenuity is put to the test
to devise ways to keep the trees from
breaking down under their load of fruit.
THE ENCAMPMENT A SUCCESS.
It is with feelings of very great pleas
ure that we are able to record the fact
that the encampment of the third regi
. ment O. N. G. is a complete success,
All the difficulties and annoyances
which met the commanding officer while
making preparations for the encamp
ment have vanished, and each member
of the regiment takes pride in the fine ap
pearance of the men and in the fact that
in the exhibition of military training
and discipline they are second to no
other regiment In the state. However
near or far off it may be, the time has
. not yet come when our nation can afford
to beat her swords into plowshares and
her spears into pruning hooks. .In these
days when nations to often watch each
other like vultures hovering over their
prey, to be well . prepared for war, in
case of dire necessity, is the best pre
ventive of that dread arbitrament. A
' standing army is un-American and un
popular. The militia is our true Ameri
can soldiery. Its millions of patriotic
brothers are our strength for peace or
war. They are no mercenary hirelings,
engaged to murder and slay for a daily
wage, but men whose interests are all
concerned in maintaining internal peace
as well aa resenting foreign intrusion,
militia is no menance to the ma
tainance of our institutions. It is their
strength and bulwark. It deserves
therefore, the liberal encouragement and
support of the state. Besides, there is
no better training for young men than
that obtained in military service. The
discipline of trained subjection to law
and rule is immensely valuable. So far
is this recognised that certain forms of
military training have become a part
and parcel of a liberal education, while,
from a physical point . of view, young
men are greatly benefitted by being
trained to stand erect and maintain the
manly bearing of a soldier, instead of
. indulging in the sfouchy gait that beget
rounded shoulders and a contracted
chest. ' For ourselves we are proud of
oar militia and insist that it is the duty
of the state to give it aNnore generous
recognition. '
L. J. Klinger, of Durar, intends after
the Fourth to visit the Warm Spring
reservation and remain there, fishing,
hunting, and bathing for a couple of
weeks, after which he intends spending
a month hunting and berrying in the
neighborhood of Mount Hood. Mr.
Klinger combines business with pleas
ure in a manner that very few.can equal.
He owns a bear dog that he says has
made a solemn contract with himfor
the delivery of fifty bear hides, during
the season.
G. J. McCoy, the industrial teacher at
Sinemasho, Warm Spring reservation
gave this office a pleasant call Tuesday,
He informs us that the crickets which
have done a great deal of injury to crops
on the reservation have now disappeared
and late rams nave started the grain
which they cut down, to a fresh growth
so that much of it will at least make
hay. No injury was done to crops on the
northern part of the reservation.
The M. . society of Dufur have built
a new church that is a model of neat
ness and good taste. The lecture room
is twenty-eight by fifty feet and has a
seating capacity of between 200 and 300.
It is surmounted by a neat tower that
rises to a.height of sixty-eight feet. The
painter is just giving the building its fin
ishing touches, and the cost when com
plete will cost in the neighborhood of
$1600.
The Washington Independent paid the
Walla Walla Union-Journal the compli
ment of having, for the only time in six
teen years, conceded a democrat to be
an honest man, whereupon the Union-
Journal comes out with the explanation
that the Independent took advantage of a
typographical error.
The Umatilla Indians will celebrate
the Fourth with a grand parade, speak
ing, a big free dinner, foot racing, wrest
ling, dancing, and horse racing. The fun
will be kept up for several days.
Those were fine words that President
Folk of the farmer's alliance uttered in
a speech that he recently made in Wash
ington, D. C : "Proud as we are, and
should be, of the splendid record of the
American soldiery to which I have re
ferred, yet in honor of woman's patient
endurance, her devotion, her constancy
and her superb moral courage, we stand
uncovered in her presence. Do you ask
, bm for a model of moral heroism? I
- would not go to the muster rolls of the
pendid armies of a Grant or a Lee; I
would not point to the waving plume in
victorious battle, but I would point you
to that isolated country home, with its
cares and trials, its loneliness and anxie
ties in sickness and in health, presided
over by the queenly spirit of her whose
hours of anguish through four long years
of war were more trying than the ordeal
of battle. And I would summon all the
grand old heroes among the living, and
the spirit of our immortal dead, and
. align them in her presence and ask
them to join me in saluting her as the
queen of the heroes of the world."
Timothy Brown of Dufur has a great
curiosity in the shape of a petrified bam
of bacon, which he" found, many years
ago, .la the Des Moines river, Iowa.
The shape of the bam is perfect in every
detail, except that where the large bone
ought to be there is a hole extending into
the interior bf the ham about eight
inches. In size, it is that of a ham that
would weigh from twelve to fourteen
pounds, but its actual weight cannot he
much leas than thirty pounds, Mr,
Brown has refused $50 for the curiosity ,
He baa also a rare collection of Indian
relics, among which are two or three
very perfect stone axee, querns, pestles
nd radely made metal tomahawk.

Tha Aamt Conference.
The Advent Christian camp-meeting
has closed ; it has been in session for two
weeks, and the attendance has been
good. During the first week while con
fere rice was in session the delegates in
attendance from churches at a distance
made the attendance larger than for the
last week. These meetings were seasons
of especial enjoyment and strength to
the Christians in attendance. Ten min
isters were in attendance a part of the
time. Seven were baptised during the
effort, and much lasting good was evi
dently accomplished for the cause of
Christ. Oregon and Washington have
for six years been one conference, but at
this session it was divided into three
separate conferences: Western Oregon
one, western Washington one, and
Eastern Washington and Oregon together
one. aiders fcteer. Ketchum, Snyder
and Powell, who were here, return to
the Western Washington conference;
and Elders Chapman, Pickett and Bon
ney remain on this side, Elder William
Chapman, of Columbus, Washington, is
the pioneer adventist of this northwest
coast. He sowed the seed ; has watched
it sprout and grow. He has labored
hard to cultivate it ; he has watered it
with his tears. The two states now
number about 28 or 30 churches, about
25 ministers, and about 750 communi
cants. Other missionaries came to help
himr young ministers were raised up,
and during most of the time since the
conference was organized he has been its
president, and has indeed, by voice and
example, been as a father to this people.
The greatest trial to the people of the
west side conferences was to give him
up ; still there is "a tie that binds our
hearts in Christian love."
The Advent people wish to express
their thanks to the people of The Dalles
for every kindness shown them, and
especially to Mr. Kistner of the Granger
hotel for his Christian hospitality to the
ministers during this meeting.
"God be with you till we met again."

planted only a few years ago, embower
many of the dwellings in thickets of
leafy verdure. Fruit treess of all kinds
are groaning under a weight of fruit that
gives ample proof, if proof were needed,
of the excellent adaption of the bench
lands of that neighborhood to fruit cul
ture, while the gardens are filled with a
luxuriant growth of all kinds of vegetable
plants.
Much of this is doubtless owing to irri
gation as the Dufur water works afford
an abundant supply of this fluid for all
needed purpoees. These water works,
simple ana inexpensive as they are, are
the pride of the town, and the special
pride of their architect and designer L
J. Klinger. And well they may for
they are as cheap and durable as they
are simple and effective.
Up to within a few weeks ago, two
large wind mills forced the water of the
creek up to a reservoir on an elevation
back 01 the town. JNow the mills are
"for sale cheap" and a little overshot
wheel, six feet in diameter by five and a
half in width, which, together with the
pump, cost the town only a hundred and
fifty dollars, does the work and does it
more effectually. The capacity of the
pump is 112,000 gallons in twenty-four
hours, but. the wheel seems to have
power sufficient to drive a pump of
twice that capacity. The water used to
drive the wheel is taken out of the mill
race of the Dufur flouring mill and raised
to the necessary elevation by a short
flume, and after it is discharged from
the wheel it returns again to the race,
A close fitting drum, covering the front
of the wheel, holds the water in the
elbow -shaped buckets till it is exhausted
below and a flexible gate regulates the
supply of water to the wheel. The run
ning expenses are simply the wear and
tear of machinery, and as there is
scarcely any to either wear or tear the
expenses may be placed at nil.
An invitation to visit the orchard and
garden of Dr. Vanderpool brought us
into a perfect wilderness of fruits and
berries and vegetables. The Doctor has
great deal of something and appar
ently a little of everything. There are
pears, apples, plums, peaches, prunes,
cherries, mulberries, gooseberries, car
rants, blackberries, raspberries, grapes,
besides a new species which he calls
Japanese wine berries derived from an
original plant that cost its importer the
sum of $1,000 for the single plant. The
rapid growth of some of the trees in this
young orchard is very remarkable. The
Doctor pointed our attention to a cherry
tree of the Black Republican variety
which has attained a heighth of seven
teen feet in three years, with a width of
branches ten feet in diameter.
By a very easy transition we made
our way from the orchard to the labors
tory of the S. B. Manufacturing Co. To
one who remembers the time when Dr.
Vanderpool used a small pot on his kit
chen stove to heat his preparations, the
sight was indeed a surprise. Now sev
eral large kettles, heated by a furnace,
have taken the place of the stove-pot,
and no less than seven different rooms
are required for conducting the business,
Here we met the business manager Mr,
A. J. Brigham who, less than three
years ago bought a half interest in the
business for $200. This was before the
stove-pot was discarded. Then the sale
of the medicines was confined nearly Hi-
together to Dr. Vanderpools old patients
and acquaintances, and the company
has customers from San Francisco to
Baltimore, Maryland, and irom North
ern Washington to Southern California,
and the medicines have the' best testi
mony any proprietory medicines can
have, and that is, they are better liked
at home, and where they have been
longest in use, than anywhere else.
BARD8LEY SENTENCED.
He Receives Elfteen Years in Solitary
Confinement.
Philadelphia, July 2. Ex-city treas
urer John Bardsley was sentenced this
morning by Judge Wilson to 15 years
solitary confinement in an eastern peni
tentiary and to pay a fine equal to the
sum to which he pleaded guilty.
The tact that Bardsley was to be sen
tenced today was not generally known
and there were not more than fifty peo
ple in the court room. District Attorney
Graham spoke briefly. In the course of
remarks he showed that according to
Bardsley's sworn statement he must
have at least appropriated $220,1)00,
Although not able as yet to specifically
state where the money had gone to
Graham said Bardsley's embezzlement
would amount to between $400,000 and
$500,000.
Alexander, counsel for Bardsley, ap
pealed to the court for mercy on the
ground of Bardsley's plea of guilty and
his services to the city. Alexander said
Bardsley did not get a dollar of the
money he put into the Keystone bank
and that within six months it would be
shown who did.
Appointments by the President.
Washington, July 2. The president
to-day made the following appointments :
William E. Simonds, of Connecticut,

Bop Growers in Council.
Salem, Or., July 2. The Willamette
valley hop growers' association is in
annual session here this afternoon. The
growers report the crop in good condi
tion and the ontlook bright. Despite
the prevalence of lice as yet they have
not done any damage but no doubt will
commence when the berry forms. In
the Butteville country only half a crop
is expected.

The following were remarks made by
Hon. W. Lair Hill at the funeral of Mr.
Atwater on Sunday last :
Fbiends : A little more than five years
ago two lawyers, whose acquaintance
reached back more than twice that num
ber of years farther, sat conversing, and
the conversation ran. as on manv prev
ious occasions it had run between them.
upon the great problem which the heart
of man has struggled with from time be.
fore there were, so far as we can tell,
systems of religion ; the problem which
even yet the human intellect seems to
have made little progress in solving
Whence we are, why we are, and what
we shall be. In this speculative strain,
and with the sort of solemn sympathy
whicth his question always brings be
tween those who talk of it, the conversa
tion ran, until one of them said : V hen
1 shall have met the inevitable, I should
desire that there be no great pageant
about my burial. 1 should desire that
no oration be spoken : but I should de
sire that a lawyer should say some kind
things to a few friends who might gather
at that place ; because, of all the profes
sions and ot all the guilds amongst, men,
there are none where men know each
other so well as lawyers know each other
and because the lawyer's life is a contin
uous course of investigating and study,
ing the intentions, the motives, the im
pulses that govern human conduct.
And I believe," he added, "that thev
have generally arrived at the conclusion
that most men are as good as their or
ganizations and surroundings will allow
them to be. 1 want such a man to
speak of me."
Today all that is visible to human
eyes of him who thus spoke lies in this
narrow casket, in the sleep that shall
never be broken, and the other comes
with loving hands to drop a flower on
his tomb to lay a little stone on the
monument of his memory.
Joseph Atwater. whose body lies
here, was born in the province of Nova
Scotia in 1837. When he as but a little
child his parents removed to the United
Mates, and settled in the state ot W is-
consm. There Joseph was reared ; there
he received the education which the
schools of that western country gave;
and there he began his career as a man.
V hen he had attained to his majority,
pursuing an aptness tor letters which
he had developed in his school days, he
became the editor of a newspaper at the
town of Jefferson, Wisconsin. This en
terprise he carried on until the war of
the rebellion broke out. Then, follow
ing that impulsiveness which was al
ways, before and after, a characteristic
of his life ready to make any sacrifice
he gave up his newspaper to go to the
defense of his country, entering the
army as a lieutenant and serving two
years, during which time he was pro
moted to the position ot captain in the
First Wisconsin cavalry. At the end of
two years he resigned his commission in
the army, and returning home entered
as a student the law office ot Angus
Cameron, then an able and distinguish
ed lawyer, afterwards United States sen
ator from the state of Wisconsin. After
admission to the bar he removed to Min
nesota and entered upon the practice of
the profession. In 1870, while yet verv
young, be was elected a member of the
legislature of the state of Minnesota,
After his tem as legislator expired, and
in the year 1874 he came to Oregon, set.
tling in Portland. Then mv first ac
quaintance with him began, anacquain
tance which soon ripened into the warm
est friendship. In 1S77 he came to The
Dalles, which has been his home ever
since.
In the nature of our constitutions are
the beginnings of what we shall be,
We do but build on foundations which
are laid we know not how. - Nature did
much for Mr. Atwater. I recollect him
when we first became acquninted, before
ill health had impaired bis vigor, as you
wno were nere in me eany years recol
lect him one of the most brilliant men
to whom it was my privilege, to whom
it was your privilege, to listen. He had
a mind capable of the quickest grasp.
able to comprehend in the shortest time
and with the briefest statement, all the
details of any matter which might be
brought before him. indeed; 1 think
amongst all the men with whom I have
come in contact in thirty years of asso
ciation with men in a profession where
contact means attrition, I have met no
man who seemed to grasp all of a com
plex and complicated matter with a cel
erity that this man did. And his power
of expression was but the counterpart of
that quickness and thoroughness which
marked the attention of his mind always
A whole complication of matters could
be bv him condensed into a Bin trie sen
fence, yet without that involvement
which oftentimes . obscures the idea
Clear, lucid, no one could hear and not
understand. So with his pen. He was
one of the most facile writers 1 ever
knew. His sentences needed no niodifi
cation : thev fell round, complete.
And deeper than all these gifts lay the
gift of a large heart And generous mind
He could not wound. In the temptations
that come in the court room (I speak of
him now as a brother in the profession
of law. for that has been his life and
mine) : in the conflicts that come in the
court room he was the readiest of all of
us at repartee, and the only one of us
who in repartee never wounded. His
wit was a perennial fountain, but it was
of that most happy kind that made even
his adversary feel better for the thrust,
So keen was his sense of humor that
sometimes the most serious things took
on, to him, a humorous aspect, lie
would laugh at that which others would
think was a serious thing to himself.
He was among the few men I have ever
known who could laugh at his own dis
comfiture heartily with another even
with his adversary : and be would often
repeat the circumstances over to others,
with colorings against himself, in order
that others might also enjov a laugh at
his expense.
And this same generosity controlled
his ideas of business. Mr. Atwater put
nothing away. He made no effort, to
acquire wealth, although he might have
acquired it. His talents would have
brought it. .Neither was he ambitious
of position. That to which so many men
are attracted as the central idea pf their
existence, and for which so many men
sacrifice the sweetest relations in life,
had no attractions for him. I have talk
ed with him many times on the subject
that so many lawyers find dear to speak
of, the ambition for fame, position, dis
tinction. He would none of it. 80
clearly he saw the littleness of all
human enterprise, that even the am
bitions of mankind were to be laughed
at. This took away one inspiration to
effort, so that often to him there came
discouragements, and he would speak of
them. "There is nothing to be gained
by the daily strife of labor," he would
say. "It comes to nothing, why should
we not lav aside our armor and rest.'
Amongst all the people with whom he
came in contact,' in a life of contact with
men, 1 dare say not one today cherishes
an ill thought of the man who lies here.
And this because he was a gentle, loving
and forgiving man, I dare say, too,
that when the hour came to part with
this life, if he could have recalled all the
relations he had sustained with men, he
would have found not one bitter thought
i 1 l 1 o - Iff.
against a nuuiau ueing. oucu a me,
such a character, compels respect, esteem
and cherished memory. We shall al
ways cherish the memory of such a life,
no matter what trifling defects there
may have been. Here lies a man whose
memory every one who knew him re
spects, and those who knew him most
intimately were most attached to him.
None knew him to turn away from him.
To know him once, to know him well,
W8S always to feel a personal interest in
his welfare.
When death calls a friend away we
human investigation has ever brought
forth any information upon the subject
of our future. Blank darkness is all
that we can see when we look into the
future with only the light of the inves
tigations of science. And even the book
which we call the word of God does not
bring consolation to all. But there is
strength and hope in the fact that far
back of all systems of religion man has
believed that his life is not the end of
all things. Whatever may be the opin
ion of men about systems of religion,
whatever one may say of the theologies,
whatever word or form of words we may
employ to designate the Power above us
that makes righteousness, whether we
name it God, or let it go unnamed, and
whatever we may think of the origin of
this visible universe about us, the hope
of immortality does not depend on these
views. It is a thing apart from notions
of theology. Here lies a man who had
no relations to the church, hut I know
that in his thoughts (for the subject I
now speak of was a subject of his fre
quent conversation) he was a religious
man. Systems of theology, systems of
religion are but the garb but the cloth
ing that men have put around that in
nate knowledge of our relation to
the Power above us, which is at the
center of all systems of religion, and
is religion's self. The clothing may
change as our dress changes with the
fashion of the time, but the central
thing of faith in a blessed future remains
through all time through all the de
structions of systems. It did not owe
itself to them ; it will survive them.
The believe of a future life takes hold
upon a proposition that science fails to
reach ; for the mind grasps at once the
fact that the conditions of this problem
are outside the reach of human intellect.
Whether I reason of God, and whether I
accept as revelation the book we receive
as such ; though I deny the one and re
ject the other, I still must see that the
question to be solved as . to my future
life is not touched by any of . these.
Science can give no explanation that will
enable one to grasp the thought of mind
developed out of matter. hatever be
the possible connection of the two, we
see the future life only by faith. Man
has believed it as far back as we can
trace. The savage, whose system of re
ligion made God a vengeful being like
himself, whose thought connected future
life only with war and the chase, still
giasped the belief in immortality, and
only degraded it bv his low ideas of sys
tem. As crude theories fade away, and
crude ic easof the conflict between science
and religion die out, the grasp of faith,
becomes stronger. The enect of all this
perception of the impotencv of the in
tellect has been to strengthen faith,
which thus finds out that it cannot rely
upon science to solve the question.
Faith fears science no longer, for they
operate in different spheres.
f aith, then, that belief which takes
hold instinctively without other premise
than itself and draws the distant to us, is
the faculty by which, above and beyond
all our senses, we see the truth. Faith
in the tomorrow of death, faith in the
bright awakening from this sleep, has
pierced, and will ever pierce, the dark
ness that hangs over the leaden stream.
It brings to our vision the forms of
those we loved here, and we see them
extending hands and welcoming us;
and then we know that this which we
have laid in this casket is not our friend
that was ; this is but the garment he was
here clothed with. But faith goes on
beyond this vision. It shows us the
bridge by which we too shall pass over
and grasp the hands that wait to wel
come us. It is the support of - patience.
Our part now is simply to bear the bur
den. Here lies one who thought it wrong to
jostle a brother bearing his burden along
the journey of life. But he goes away ;
and these follow. And while they look
across with the eye of faith and see him
reaching out to welcome them, saying to
them, he shall only wait a little until
they come, strengthened bv the assur

Saloons Closed on Sunday.
The citizens of Spokane, backed by
determined mayor and a fearless news
paper the Review have succeeded in
effectually closing the saloons of that
city on Sundays.- The movement has
been largely brought about by the paper
spoken of and the citizens should feel
proud of such a journal. We have al
ways thought that one reason why sal
oons should be closed on Sunday as well
as business houses was because by keep
ing open when stores were closed it gave
the saloon men an unfair advantage over
the merchant in getting the first and
best chance at the working men's money
Why should the saloon be given that ad
vantage? The Review in speaking on the
Sunday closing movement has this to
say of it: -
The whole motive of the organized
fight urion the Dart of the liauor dealers
was their inability longer to enjoy the
cream of Spokane's payroll. With the
exception of the liquor traffic the general
business continuity nave compuea witn
the law, and this they have done volun
tarily and withont anv whinincr about a
"Puritan Sunday." Most of them have
been closing their doors at 8 o'clock Sat
urday night, relinquishing to the saloon
men for a ueriod of thirtv-six hours the
almost exclusive' privilege of tapping the
city's-payroll. The average man draws
nis salary, quits work at a or o o ciocr
Saturday afternoon, takes his suDner
and goes to a barber shop to be shaved.
Just about the time he finds himself
with his leisure time upon his hands the
stores are-closed. We all know w hat
human nature is, particularly with young
men. The temptation to spend money
is with us all to a greater or less degree ;
and the average man finding himself at
leisure witn a full purse, ana tne general
places of business closed, is constantly
tempted to drop in at the saloons and
gambling places to spend his money. If
these places were closea down at mid
night, and kept closed until Monday
morning, they would still have a decided
advantage over general business; but
they; would not have time to get quite so
much of the cream of the week's wages,
and that is where the shoe pinches. A
great many young men, and old ones,
too, would go borne at midnight, and
having a long period of leisure for reflec
tion, reading and out-door life, would
go back to their work Monday morning
witn a clear Dead ana money in tneir
purse, and that money would go into the
stores and banks, of the city. Some of it
would make glad the hearts of suffering
wives who bear their cross in proud sil
pnef. It would bnv drv eoods and groc
eries, pay butchers' and bakers' Bills,
and put better clothes npon many a child
now clad in rags, This is not the hys
terical Imagination of religious cranks
and fanatics, but the deep religious con
viction of our best people, the observa
tion of men whose past follies or present
duties have given them a clear insight
into the evils of society, and the actual
knowledge of every man who sells whis
ky or deals cards.
