THE SALOON IN POLITICS.
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.
We know of no Christmas gift so
sure of bringing a happy response
in a reading family. Send 12.40 to

The actmi i g governor of the state
of Maine is' i Mr. Sebastian Marble,
president of the senate. He is a
friend of ex-8enator Hamlin, and
has the reputation of being very
hostile to Mr. Blame and his clique.
A splilt in his party in the Plumed
Knight’s own state would be a bad
beginning of a campaign fot - th e
