Few, if any, intelligent citizens of thi> United States doubt that the saloon is a moral, social and po litical .blight on our civilization. Since the days of the prophetB the intemperate use of strong drink has been denounced as a moral evil by statesmen, sages and philosophers. In later days the traffic in intox icating liquors has been investi gated from physiological and ecom ic stand points, and more recently the attention of thinking men has been drawn to ttys political power of the saloon and its cotaminating in fluence on the pal lot .box. In a re public which is based on manhood suffrage, the saloon becomes a dan gerous factor in political life. The occupation of the saloon keepers ap pears to destroy all patriotism. Their political actions are entirely governed by selfish motives. Their political influence over the patrons of their bars is great; and the prac tical politicians in the large cities »look on the saloons located amidst the struggling poor as a stronger ally in an election, than either’press or pulpit. We have known politic ians to be the owners of several saloons for the strength it would give them m an election. And in the smaller cities and towns of our country the services of the saloon keeper are purchased by one or more of the local candidates at every election. In certain cities the political life of the municipality is in the saloon, arid numerous cities of the Uniteli States are never with- out representatives of the liquor m- WIDE AWAKE'1888. The readers ef this wonderful magazine .for young people are so accustomed to good reading and pictures that they will wonder how it is going to be better than ever this coming year. But it I»' The new year has already begun ' with the holiday number just out— A truly great number, larger and richer, more varied, and therefore it must be better than ever before. And -the publishers have a primer to send to those who want to know what Wide Awake is going to have in it in 18B8.’V The wonder is that such a library and picture-gallery can be got together for $2.40 a year —a thousand pages and everything fresh and new—stories, history, travels, biography, sketches, anec dote, adventure—and all instruct ive as well as entertaining. Two- worlds are drawn from to mako such provision for the education and pleasure of our children. So high is the best of young people’s literature nowadays that we are all of us glad to be young. Nine-tenths of reading people pre fer it to what is written for them; for it has the rare merit of being easy as Well as good.

He is a friend of ex-8enator Hamlin, and has the reputation of being very hostile to Mr. Blame and his clique.
