Thk republican party of New York will not do its duty unless at the coming session of the legislature it passes a stringent lhpjor law. Gov. Hill will doubtless veto any such law, because of the compact between him and the liquor dealers; but the republican party of New- York has nothing to lose by drawing the line sharply, and good government will eventually train thereby.

This fact cannot be dis guised. It has been remarkably rnp'd every where. In some states this senti ment has mown more ramelly than in others, but in all it has crown. The radical, religious, moral type of prohihi tion sentiment is a very different thing from the great volume of public senti ment which has so rapidly gathered against the saloon as :i publit; business. Naturally the most radical type, that which is the product of the enthusiast's ardor, was the first to manifest i'self notably. It was so in the nnti-slavery movement, and it lias leen so in all re forms. Perhaps it must be so in all re forms. And right here is the significant feature of the temperance situation. The popular disposition to authorize the sa loon has passed far beyond the enthusiast or religious phase. This is so because other relations of the saloon ques tion arc coming up so prominently into view. the political relations The or ganized social corruption, acting through the saloon, is to-day holding the balance of political power in our larger cities. and thus actually holding the balance of power in the nation as matters now stand. This is a situation which is producing a popular revolt. It matters not in what way the prohibition sentiment manifests itself, whether by local option laws, by high license or by state-wide prohibitory laws, the tendency and ultimate result must be the same, viz.: the utter extinc tion of the public drinking saloon. And the cheering sign of the times is that the sober, practical matter-of-fact sense of the community seems rapidly coming to the conclusion that public necessity re quires the abolition of the public saloon. Tho blop shop is the biggest thing in tho ad vcriiaers, kidney disease, and diseases cheap clothing trade, and the slop shop kec;- ari-ing from kidney derangement is ac- "" naraest uumnnen oi too ixr I Oil vrvi nf t.tiA nutrmy)lifi I a miTM'tit urn ill thH luanv responsible lor me majority oi n.til;i clothins business has brought this con- deaths!

It then goes, each sort of garment separately, to tho "tailors," so called, who have thcir slioiw all over the city, but chiefly in tho most densely populated tenement house districts to cure extreme kidney disorders, the pro fession oflicially disguises from the pub- lie the fact of their prevalence; mean while it.? journals are tilled with regrets at this prevalence and the impotency of and ia the very slums. One tailor will take the prcfussion to treat it successfully! Why is the public misled! These advertisers, shrewdly say it is be cause the profession, if it concedes what thev claim that kidnev disease is univer sal, fears that the people will desert the powerless doctors and usu the advertised preparation! We do not know but they are right! But what should the people do ' Do'? Read the evidence and guide themselves accordingly! The advertisers claim to have cured hundreds of thousands of cases of lhijdit's disease and all lesser forms of kidney, liver and blood derangements. They offer $5,000 for proof that their state ments of cures, in every quarter of the globe, are not true, so far as they know. these statements are from prominent men and women all over the world, and the closest scrutiny is invited ! If a physician cures a mm and he knows it and says it, people believe him. If Warner's safe cure cures a man and he knows it and says it over his own sig nature, it is just as conclusive evidence in the latter case as in the former. A few years ago, after having broker down prejudices in England, Canada, the United States, Australia, India and China, the owners of this great remedy applied for the privclege of its manufacture and sale in Germany. The laws of that great country are very stringent, and nothing can be manufactured or sold until it winr permission from the government, and this w ill not be granted until the govern ment is satisfied that the best interests of the public and its indiviuals will be served by such a preparation. out hundreds or thousands of pairs of panta loons in a week, another carries oil the coats, and the Testa go somewhere eL-ie. If these men or women have any shops at all they are simply their living rooms in tho tenements, where they hire girls to eomo for from noth ing to a few dollars a week and work at sew ing machines making up the garments, In many instances men insta-ad of girls are hired. esH?cilly on heavy work, but iu either case tho people are crowded as closely as tho ma chines can be put together, often four or five iu ono small room where all tho household lives and all tho domestic work is carried on. In these places, reeking with all the vi! odors of the tenements, with dirty chil dren crawling over tho filthy floors, play ing among them by day and sleeping upon them at night, in an atmosphere, in short, of dirt, disease and death, the garments are finally made tip. They may bo 'finished" that Li, ltavo tho buttons put on and the other hand sawing done in the same place, or this work may be farmed out to still more abject slaves than thoso who toil over the machines --to women who are prevented by invalid husbands, young children, or other reason from leaving their homes, and who are there fore obliged to take up for their work what ever pittance tho slop shop barons will dolo out to them, and trust to charity for enough more to stave oil starvation. In tho bar ren rooms of these lowest, of slaves the garments havo a chance to g.-t a now variety of odors and disease tjerms. Then they go, most likely, to th-r buttonhole factory, where they touch shoul ders with similar lots from dozens of other tenement house shops, and when their own odors and germs havo thus been amalga matd with the odors and germs of all tho tenements for half a milo around, they go back to tho original slop shop, and theueo in tho course of time to the alleged manufae turer, who sells them to a wholesaler, maybe. from wham they go to tho retailer, and after all tLe.se different hands have taken their toll the general public is invited to como in and look at the wonderful bargains in cloth in, Often they are wonderful bargains indeed, ia spito of the numerous profits that have been made off of them; bat if they are cheap it is lieeause women have turned their sinews into thread and their blood into sewing ma ehiuo oil in the making of them. They aro aired and fumigated, and cleansed, maybe before they aro sold, but a man in the bud ncss clothe them." Philip Leldesdorff has been in business for eighteen years.

I prepare our Sunday dinuer on Saturday, and if you will try my plan once you would scarcely care to ro b;ick to hot dinners. I bake a loaf of bread and a cake, and prepare meat in some form, ham, beef, tongue, or chicken. It is then I use my preserves, jellies, pickles anel canned fruits. There are so many dainty ileserts to be eaten cold, and with iced tea, milk or lemon ade, and excellent dinner can be gotteu up on t-hort notice. I often stew a chick en on Saturday, seasoning with salt, pep per and butter, but omitting milk. When nearly done, take off, anel set in cellar, covering it closely. Sunday build a biisk fire of kindling, put on chicken with milk, add thickening and let it boil up, or add drop-dumplings if likeel; this makes a good relishable dish and but lit tle trouble.
