Did you notice bow hot and tirednd.irritated the olerks looked, and bow
quick the people got out of such a pla'-e?
Then, maybe, a little; furher dowu the street yon dropped into auother
store where the air was pure and fresh, the clerks appeared i-ool and pleasant
the ousomers took their time iu shopping. t rra
Now, what made this dilfereiioe? ,V will tell yon.

Haying in the valley has again be

The Church v nd the Saloon.
A wise man onco said that If it
were true that figures would not lie,
it was equally true that liars would
figure; and auother wisacre, who had
evidently had experience, divided all
lies into three classes, black, white
aud statistics. There is nothing more
dingerous than statistics unless taken
with salt and painstaking considera
tion. lake, for example, the figures con
cerning the comparative voting force
'of the church aud tho saloon in a re
cent uuuiher of ho Union Signla. It
1 makes an startling aud turriflu ar
i r.uiiKiuent of the church and the
'church people of America. Perhaps
they deserve it, but ueverthelessthe
! figures are misleading. The figures
' quoted aru as follows :
1 Number of church meuiWrs
i33,4t:t,Uil.
Number of persons engaged iu li
quor liuhiiies-s, 2";l, 7 18.
N'.iuibir of voiers in church.
5,t!tM,7.-t).
Number of voters iu s.tloou business
I Ml, 7 III.
Apparently, the church controls
over 43 ptr cent of the total vote of
the entire country, while the saloou
controls but Mill per cent. The
asumptiou is that church people con
sider ethics rather than politics, or
think that they conserve the public
morals by voting a party ticket their
I party ticket, a doubtless mauy of
'them do; we are to understand that
they get their politics from the
church, aud that as au institution it
endeavors to influence their civic ac
tion. The ai.uuiptiuu is a viuleut
one, and hardly borue out by exper
ience. lV-aoher who take politic
into the pulpit are rare, and much
criticised. It use.l to be said that
i "The dumb priest lose his benefice;"
at the preeut time, in very many
. parishes over this broad.' country, the
: priest who wants to keep Jhis church
; must be dumb aud Blight ly blind cou
cern'ng certain matters. Potitci is
a pool untroubled by any angel.
The old parties control the church
ete;uo oue doubts Jthis who is in the
habit of reading the election returns.
Abstract morality is a mere side is
sue compared to a burniug question
uch as the tariff, for example. True,
uot oue nun in 10,000 kuow whether
salt is on the free list or not, and auy
uuu can tell the price of a glass of
beer; but the fact remains that the
whole eooutry can ;be wrought p
over the tariff, about which it knows
little, and remain blissfully quiescent
over the temperance questiou Kiut
which it hat a very considerable
knowledge ' The tariff i a tax. or
a bouutv, acvordiuir
totlie y.iut of
view, ooi me saloon
a tax 1-eToml
qoestiou.
Because of it we must cou
st.tutly eularge jails and prisons, eiu
ployujore jaoe ofliorudUs at
the exDense of oondocting many caes,
all the way from tbe " plain druDk"
of tbe police coort to the murder case
in the criminal coort. We must run
orpbaD asylums, and provide relief
for the destitute, because of tbe tax
which the saloou levies; but it is in
finitely easier to get up a bazaar to
provide for poor children, or to raise
money for the coal guild, than it is
to get au awakened public intelli
gence that will go to the Jpolls and
vote the saloou out of existence.
This may be lamen'ahle, bat it is
trae. We all know that it is troe,
and jif we do not know that kthe
church is almost without inflnenca in
the politics of thi natiou, it goes to
show that we know little either of the
church or politics, or the temper of
the people, for that matter; for the
clergyman who preaches political
sermons does so at his own risk,
aud usuiilly hears from the pews
pretty promptly.
Bat hit us suppose, fortho sake of
arguruvut, ;that the church wages
warfare ou the saloon. Even then we
must make another computationbej
fore we can accept our"ligiires.
Counting nothing oil for any Summer
vacatiou, sickness or aoseuce of the
pastor, the workiug days of the
oh arch number 101 a year aud those
are not whole days. It may .take the
minister thewhole week to prepare
his (ermobrand its influence may last
much more than that, but it is de
li verd in an hour. The workiug
hoars of the church itself, taking into
consideration . the congregatiou, at
five hours a week, make a total of
300 hours a year.
Now let ns look at"the other side of
tbe .account. Kipling says in is
American notes that he grew tired of
asking bow this and that man got bis
start in politics and being told,
"Well, you Bee he had a saloon." As
illustration of this poiut it might be
said that the most uoted character of
modern fiotiou is Mr. Dooley, of
Archie Road, who hands out philoso
phy across the bar. The salooa is the
great political free-for-all club of the
nation. It is the meeting place of
politicians, and in it our political
destiuies are determined. Iu niue
tenths of oar cities it is in direct al
liance with the political powers that
be.
The average saloon breaks tbe law,
The average saloon breaks the law,
aud the men who are paid to tuforoe
the law kuow it; and the newspapers
kuow it; tho children kuow it. It
ruus nights and Sundays iu spite of
the statute in such casts made aud
provided. The saloou works H05 days
a year, aud 34 hours a day. Look at
these figures :
Working days of the church per
year, 104
Wurkiug days of the saloou, 805.
Workiug hours of the church per
year (5 a week), 3(10. .
Workiug hours of the church per
year, (5 a week), 200.
Working hours of the raloou per
year 8700.
Given a towu of 300,000 people,
with 100 churches aud 400 saloons
(aud that is about the average) : I
The result will be that the church ;
puts iu 20,000 hours while the taloons ;
come up with a grand total of :i,f04,-!
ooo hours iu the aggregate. Working
tht sellouts it would take nearly ;M
churches to offset the working timo j
of one saloou. Add to this the fact '
that politics is talked iu every oue of j
the 4i)i) saloons at least a third of the j
tunc by anwyheie from two to 200 1
men mid you begiu to get at the real '
reason why the church seems so
powerless to grapple with this phase i
of our civilization. It is a shocking '
thing to say, bat it is probably true j
that auy saloou, uo matter what its
standing iu the community, has more j
direct political iurluence thau auy
church, simply because it keeps ever- 1
lastingly at it.
Just as long as .ve continue to take i
our politic from the saloon, while the
church will couseut to attack neither '
the saloou nor saloon politics, save
sporadically or iudirectly, the saloou j
will continue to flourish, and the
church ill coutiuue to seek au ex- j
plaoatiou aud a justictlatiou of its I
inability to accomplish more in this
nnennn.1 HtrnuulM "Tha plinth I
