an extract frogi an article in the
Bulletin on this subject which goes
* entirely to the point. That paper
says:
The man who abhors the smell
or- taste of liquor can no more
fairly estimate the appetite of the
other who likes or craves it than
a Polar bear can estimate the feel
t
ing of the Giizzly of California’s
I
hottest regions, and it is quite as
absurd for a person so constituted
to endeavor to frame a code of
law’s to govern the appetite of the
Ì
drinker as it would be for the bear
of the Arctic to provide a dietary
system for the animal of the torrid
clhnate of our neighboring State.
It is no virtue for the3 man who
dislikes liquor to abstain from its
use; it is a virtue for the mau who
does like it to withhold from it«
abuse. And if the men who do
not drink—because they detest
that whiqh tliey refrain from drink
ing—instead of claiming a special
virtue for themselves in so doing,
would only prove, by the practice
of abstinence from some other
things of sumptuary character
winch they do fancy or much like
to enjoy, that they could overcome
their own desires and abstain from
their gratification, as they insist
the man who likes liquor shall do
at their bidding, we should very
likely liavo more of real benefit

CORMO
CONGRESSMEN.
The late lamented Congress
passed a law increasing the pay
of members to six thousand dollars
a year aud mileage. And as if
determined to be as mean as possi
ble, they made the law retroactive,
so as to cover the first year of
their terms. The rage now is the
augmentation of salaries. No
sooner does any givep impecunious
individual get into office than he
discovers that the salary is totally
inadequate. He may have mort
gaged all ho possessed on earth to
raise money to defray campaign
expenses in his pursuit of the office
at the salary already allowed. It
was sufficient when they were elect
ed, but dwindled down to nought
afterwards. The people foot the
bills, and, strange enough, don’t
