1'ittsbcro is again the scene of a
conflict between labor and capital; ow
ing to the depression iu the irou
trade, and the gloomy outlook for th-.-future;
the manufacturer, have am!
probably with some reason demanded a
reduction in wages from ten to twenty
per cent. 10,000 laborer s has bee n
their custom threaten u:i immediate
strike rather than work for ihe lower
rate. This will greally increase too
trouble and as the manufactories ir.-.ist
they are now running at a los,taken with
the reasonableness of the statement our
sympathies are not thus far in the t'ght
enlisted in behalf of the la!orer. H'e

Ix Maryland they have a law which ; v' tt probably double the
punishes wife-beating by a dose ol :
whipping-post. Maryland has tak
the biezest stride of anv state in the ''
union toward equal suffrage. The only j
noticeable difference between the man !
beating his wife, and the administra
tion of the whipping post dose, being
that the man to whom the woman is
tied can leason and ought to know
better, aad the post to which the man
is tied is an inanimate object, and
don't know or care anything about the
matter at all. The whipping-post
would make a (list-class modern petit
juror. It don't know anything it
can't read newspapers it knows noth
ing of the current topics of the day
it isnot biased or prejudiced it is ig-
nnrant of evnrvthincr exceDt thfl Ron- I

posted around it on a rainy day. A j for total abstainers, and one for mod
jury of posts would be a fine ! eiate drinkers. But when it organizes

would be no sickness.no drowsiness. I lnto the 8lum3 to "cover drunkards,
no weariness, no nothing, and

country would bo a few dollars more
in her treasury, and the result would
probably be just as satisfactory. Hur
rah for the post! not only the whipping-post,
but we Lave other Posts in
Nebraska which we are proud of. For
instance, Judge Post.: and Collector

While there has been in the United
States a slight decrease in wine and

the increase of population, during the

drinking has been greatly in excess of
the Increase of population.

TIIMI'KIiAM'K NOTES.
.loioph Cook ou Temperance.
The prelude to a recent lecture by
Mr. Cook was devoted to temperance,
lie said, .substantially : The law of
average, us exhibited in the experi
ence of life n.ssir:iuec companies dur
ing the pat forty years, has once for
all triumphal. tly jnstiiied th temper
ance principle of total abstinence.
When I was in London I took much
pains to itf -ei tain exactly the facts us to
the cxitciice of British lite as.surunre
kocr-ika in making a distinction be
tween moderate drinkers and total ab
hlainers. Every oue knows, or ought
to know, that for nearly half a century
how many f th: best Jiie assurance
MM-ictic. ot England have insured
moderate di inker and total abstainers
in (separate sections, and that a bonus
has been paid to the section made up
of total abstainers of seven, thirteen,
j-eventeen, and. in some case, twenty
three per cent, over that paid the sec
tion of moderate drinker. Here is a
commeieiul view of the largest philan
thropic significance. European, und
American temperance methods and
di tier somewhat to our disadvantage.
Undoubtedly we have carried the legal
remedies for intemperance farther thau
Europe has done, but at present we are
fanning the air with the legal wing of
the temperance reform, and seem to
have forgotten the moral w ing in a large
degree. I wish to lift a note of cause
wish one wing. Whenever we have
used only the lcj,ul winy, or only the
moral wing, the tlight of the temper
ance cause has been a sorry spiral. It
always must be such under
similar circumstances. There is
"ot a feather in either
j ot these temperance wings that we can
j dispense with. One of the moat nii.s-
chievous things in the temperance
i cause appears to be the ii-jht of the
j feathers with each othtr; not only
! wing Willi wing, but feather with
feather in a single wing. Look for an
instant at the smallest lower feather
1 f the moial wiug business prudence.

laughter; it goes up yet! All

scale with all tl-iese weights in it goei

ernments and for .common school edu
cation out of the taxes on school dis
tricts, and yet this scale goes up. The
national census bureau informs us
that about TOO millions is the amount
put into the left hand scale under the
circumstances I have named; but the
most careful statisticians say, and ihe
New York Tribune brought these facts
before the public not long ago, that at
least S0o millions is the actual liquor
bill of the United States. That is one i
ieaiuror this mighty wing. I under

xt V'.1 these are carefully verified
tatisticl results of our recent inves-
tigation. The Massachusetts bureau
of statistics has affirmed solemnly in
an official document that intemperance
enters as a leading cause into eightj
four per cent, of the crimes brought to
the notice of the law in this state, and
yet l.ia excellency, the present gover
nor of Massachusetts, did not do him
self the honor of mentioning intem
perance when lately, in a'long'message
he passed a fine-tooth cmb through
the hair of this commonwealth in
search of abuses. The Church of Eng
land lemperauce society, not a fanati
lDS13ls always that these
men shall
take a pledge of absolutely total ab
stinence. I say that not only every
preacher, but every church member,
rich or poor, especially if his position
is an employer of labor, makes him a
trellis-work over which many lives
lives run, should bo a member of the
rescue section of societj.
