Meeting: of the ABli-Temperance So
cietj &c, at Spiritual Cat-Off.
Maroh 21st, 1880. "How I hate the
wlerd sound of those baleful church
bell, as their solemn tones echo over
these hills?"
"Many old friendg go to church
now that used to call on meant! while
away the hours-In merry-making and
telling obscene stories, or playing pe-
droorBevenup for the drinke? What
fools those fellows are ; 'tis wine that
maketh glad the heart of man ! Just
think of those fellows getting so low
as to pay for wind-pudding, under
the name of 'ppirltual advice,' or
making up jack-pots to buy the little
niggers In Africa testaments and fed
flannel shirts ! They would do some
thing for the town if they would cred
it, and spend their money in paloonp."
"Talk to me about drink making a
man a fool, as long as these things are
permitted to continue. Nothing but
fanaticism ; yes, blind fanaticism !"
'Look at Brown ville! No saloons
no new railroad hnnds, flat-boat fer
ries a new cold-waler church built
niggers emigrating from the South
into this country .-everybody talking
about going to Lfadvllln, a sand-bar
forming on this side of the river, ev
erything going up in price, ray old
woman compelled to sell her piano
because I can't sell liquor, my doe
skins getting rather too thin, in spots,
for polite society, the railroad from
the East stopped over in Missonri,
where they, can get their drinks,
farmers buying more extravagant
thingB for their li.zy families than
they used to. I used to be a bold,
swaggering, defiant man of influence,
but now I cower HHd am afraid of my
most intimate friends. Things are
going to the devil for want of saloons.
In the name of common sense, virtue,
and everything that's lovely, and the
laok of good sidewalks, can't these
poor, deluded fanatics see the point?"
"In the name of aod, if there is any
God, will this fooling ever stop?"
As I muttered aloud these things to
myself, as they danced through my
mind, I skulked forth from a dirty
north ally, redolent with .the odor of
stables and the plg-pvn, where I hide
my bottle. I sauntered leisurely, with
spirits melancholy, sad and-1- low, up
the path that leads to the sacred spot
of Spiritual Cut-ofF.
Nearing that faithful intelligencer,
the corn-crib, I caught, the voice of
the long forgotten .Larry Houlegan,
the bruiser. So very unexpected was
this, that I cleared my-throat for the
purpose of striking up "Auld Lang
Syne," but quickly suppressed ray
too turbulent-spirit for these anxious
times. While he piped forth one of
his old-timo ballads that ustd to cheer
thev'.'wae sma hours" in the, saloons
of Btowd ville in her prosperous days:
"O, Dlnnls'Catfnro was a brofhof a bye,
AnMie'ttoodJIve foot eight! '
His:' arum wasas thldc as another man's
-.lhl?n'- . . - .
Dlnnls was noble an great." " .
.-Just then his eye caught; Lanky
Dedwood's fallhful;-but !nbtrelligant,
hand-bil1. Pausing a moment before
It be yelled out:
"Hillo, ould hiregliflc! Wat the
divil'a the go. here ! AVritiu' for a
matin I 8-p-i-r-i-t-a-l Kut-ov An-te
Tem-pran-ce Down with finch Fire

w.ood,. Sec."
Hurrah I I'm a son of tacher, if
thim's not my slntiments this very
minit! Ante timprance an' frawhis-
key!" '
Pulling off hia coat and dragging it
up and down the path he Went on :
"Dowji with the finches. Hi dad
dy, but I'm the laddy-buck but as
will pull the tail feathers from all the
bullfinches, chaffinches. gold-Jlnches,
or other finohes as will stand in, the
way of fra; whiskey. But where in
the uame of all the saints is this
'Spiritual Kut-ov,' .is wat's puzzliu'
my noddle? Some hatben country
where they raise finches, I expect."
While his brutal and befogged men
tal faculties w.ere wrestling, with this
quizical quandafy he glanced .down
the path, and espyingr our near ap
proach, cried out r " '
"Come hare, ould dlsnlatloti, an'
say if yez can make out the manin' of
this bin scratchin.'!"
After Informing him of the meeting
to stay, the progress of "the, disastrous
Finch 'movement, and that our pU
grlmage waabent hither, he .came
close up -to rrie, and rwith- his eyes
ftiFnlnk l:k T VasIHSk,, Dd blowing
hfs "whiskey-freighted breath. in my
face, through his thin, retfactYdT lips
n uiziuu j n g ji .em nrepuea :'
THURSDAY, MARGH 25,1S80.
"AH rigbt.ye p'uld dispinser of evil
sparits. I'm a (murtherin' eon of a
say cook, If I'ni not going, along to
aittle the finches or any other bird as
will stan' in the way of whiskey !"
.Larry is not the representative Hi
bernian. If he was he would be of no
use to us. But he is the typical rep
resentative of that class that with
whiskey in their brains, are the strong
right arm of the saloon keepers in ev
ery town and village in the world.
.His pedigree goes, back eight hundred
years. Parents unknown by name,
but begotten by misery out of dissipa
tion and poverty, The ancestraViine
begins In the reign of King Alcohol
and Atheous. The breed has been'.a
large one. whatever yon may thlnk
of the quality. He Is the true ruffian
type of a brave and generous race of
men. Never exhibited on the field
of noble purpose, but filling the an
nals of furious acts and mental feeble
ness. With defiance for law, nursed
by depravity, divorced from wisdom,
schooled in the appetites nud passions,
with darkness over his conscience,
insensible to decencies, and tamed
only by the chains which an outraged
community binds on his impulses.
I recognized in him an auxiliary to
my purposes, and invited him, after
giving him a sip from my bottle used
in carrying the elections in my favor,
to accompany me. Throwing his
ragged coat over his shoulder, he fol
lowed after rap, dinging!
"Oh. 'twas on .1 dusky ave,
When I was varry poor,
A story ye better belave,
The Dlvll he came to my, door,
An he held In his ban a big hook"
"Arra ! troth an' by gar, w'at's tho
hurly-burly with that murtherin',
thavin' looking crowd that's insold
that pin thare?" said Larry, chang
ing his tune.
"The anti-temperance meeting,"
said I.
"It's the divll's own place to be
holdin' a matin'! An a swate sit of
cut-throats they be, rushin' round
like cattle at a fair," interposed
Lnrry.
"They are friends, my boy," I re
plied. "I should think so, the way they
are drinklri', spakin' an' staggeriu'
about like land-lubbers in a sthorm.
Are the finches there, bedad?"said
he.
"No, well, I don't know." I re
plied, "tbey might venture out;" For
I saw he dii not comprehend the
movement. And it is always a good
policy for politicians to keep .their
ennstituents-in the dark ns much as
possible as to the motives. And the
more ignorant we can keep ours the
better; for ignorance nnd vice is the
main element that drill in our ranks.
Larry, I knew, for a little whiskey,
would vote for us, and In as many
wards as possible, as long as he could
be kept in bis present blissful state of
vicious ignorance.
When we arrived at the horse-pen,
we found the meeting under way,
and Sloppy Smith nearly through one
of the most vituperous and billings
gate harangues that this enthusiastic
politician could indulge in ; he said
in his dosing remarks:
" My coveyp, bullies of the beer
stamp, are you prepared to be pulled
by these lousy cops as we have to
pay taxes to watch us, as to whether
we violate this damn law this
slavish Finch and his cold-water hire
lings, edict? These old woman pray
ing bands, and these secret societies,
are ruining the business interests of
Brownvllle. Look how much our
president has lost in this outrageous
movement of these Finch drilled vil
lians. See with what patient bravery
the Captain hus waited around the
steps of'his saloon for the coming "
"Keep to der pint, und scbtop ber
sonal gap!" demanded the president.
"Howly Moses!" broke ill Larry,
"you old rowlly-powlly,. are yez the
chap what keeps the fiuches?"
"Var vat Vinches you schpeko, I
done no?" inquired the president.
"Wat finch?" said Larry, 'yera
quare lookin' old mud-eyed, bottle
nosed, bl-Jdder-shoped thing roostin'
on a horse-box. as not to know as I
mint, as well as the giotleraan who
was spakin', the finches as got their
bill in the whiskey."

Everything was mad confusion.
AH of a sudden, staggering under a
load of beer in his person; Lanky

an awkward boy on stilts, and being
behind Larry, he seized the side of
the trough, and turningitover, caused
this hilarious Hibernian to turn a
complete somersault, knocking Greasy

almost smothered presiding officer.
This little feat sprained Larry's back

and there being no one In the humor

committee, stood up on a beer keg
that had been brought over from
Phelps to help carry the election, and
read with great womanly emotion, as
follows:

At the close of this committee's la

on his feet, he said, "T mofe we gloze

The Hon. Philip C. Hayes, of Ill
inois delivered a very sensible and
pointed spppch in Congress upon na
tional finances. His reply to Mr.
Chittenden, of New York, was.sharp.
He said:
Now, plr, I wish to say to the gen
tleman from New York that he is
wholly ignorant of the wants and
wishes of the farmers of the West if
he fa to ba judged by the language
employed in the speeeh from which I
havp quoted. I can tell him that if he
were to go among the farmers of the
West and talk to them as he talks to
us in this speech they would tell him
that he did not know what he was
talking about. These men are satis
fied with both the silver dollar and
the greenback bote which the gentle
man sneers at so contemptuously.
They have never had a currency that
suited them so well as the greenback
currency, and If they are being cheat
ed in receiving either that currency
or the silver dollar in exchange for
the produce of their farms they have
not yet discovered it, although, I im
agine, if such were the casp, they
would dicover it about as quickly as
the gentleman from New York.
I want him to understand, moreover,
that I live among the farmers of the
West; that I come in contact every
day wheti I am at home; and that, i
know something of thpir wants and
needs. I can tell him, also, that this
honest, hard-working, and intelligent
class of citizens are satisfied witli our
financial system as it is, and do not
want it overthrown in order that a
new system may be built up to suit
the money-kings of Wall street,
whose peculiar ideas are advocated so
earnestly on this door by the gentle
man from New York.
In planting new orchard, or even
single fruit trees, we hope our read
ers the coming spring will avoid the
error of manurirg the ground, even
though the soil is quite impoverished.
The second year, when the trees are
well established, they may be man
ured with advantage. The growth of
a newly transplanted tree the firet
pummer is but little and the trees
nepd but little food. To furnish rich
food is really to invite dippape. A
newly transplanted tree may be re
garded as an invalid that is, its
growth and vigor have suffered a se
vere check, and nature at once sets to
work to supply all that was lost in the
removal, as in the case of an injured
person she endeavors to heal the
wound. SureJjr at PDb times strong
food Is not to be recommended. The
mot and best that we can do is to
supply mellow earth and to see that
the roots and fibers are placed In con
tact with it, and in Case of drought to
spread over the earth, a little further
than the roots extend, a layer of hay
or straw, so that some little moisture
may be retained. RiiralNetC' Yorkcrt

Now tocometo the cbargeof drunk
enness. It was no doubt a crying evil
twenty years ago, and still the spirit
bottle plays a prominent- part where
ever you go in Sweden. But there Is
mudh improvement on the old days.
Of course, I have learned what I
could of the Gothenburg system. Mr.
Chamberlln hasmadeitso well known
in England by his advocacy that 1 1
need not explain ftt any length what
the plan Is. But to make my report
upon it.clear, I will briefly say that It
is a system by which the local author
ities of towns In Sweden assume the
control of the wholesale and retail
consumption of spirituous liquors.
The sale is prohibited save at author
ized establishments. So far, it resem
bles ourown system. But In Sweden
nil the profit made by the sale over
and above G per cent is appropriated
by the town. This at once removes
the motive to encourage excess which
actuate the drink seller in England.
The management of the wholesale in
Gothenburg It conducted by a com
pany, who let out the various estab
lishments to persons who mu3t have
the approval of tho Town Council.
Anything above the very moderate
profit of G per cent does not go Into
the pocket of the company, but Into
the municipal purse. The seller gets
only a very small share of the 0 per
cent, and consequently the demand
for spirit licenses does not even equal
the supply. In Gothenburg sixty
three houses are permitted, not quite
one per 1,000 inhabitants, a very mod
eratesupply. Likeother monopolies.
I thought it must lead to Illicit sale,
hnt t could find no trace of any such
abuse, and was assured it did not ex
ist. The establishments are permit
ted also to furnish food, wine, ale, and
porter. Drunkenness is strictly pro
hibited ; all houses .are closed at 9 at
night, and none are opened at all
from Saturday evening to Monday
morning. I visited one or two of
them, and I lunched at one in the
quarter described as the most disorder
ly in Gothenburg. It was clean and
quiet. The food was good, served
on fresh white cloth. In a room hung
with the engravings of Gothenburg.
An excellent dish of meat and pota
toes, With as much bread as I liked,
cost me 4d. Sailors were my compan
ions at table. They were not only
orderly but polite, and in none of the
rooms of this or the other establish
ment were the slightest signs of ex
cess. During my stay in Gothenburg
of sereral days, spent chiefly in stroll
ing ahnut the streets, I saw only three
people the worse for liquor. Thpre
are, however, objections to thesystetzl.
It, so to speak, legalizes drink, and
makes it rpsppctable. In the old days
a man of position would not enter a
drinking shop ; he has not now the
same objection to go lntn-an establish
ment under the public protection.
Drunkenness Is prohibited, butdrink-
Ing i sanctioned. While thesystpm
Im a protection to the poor man against
his favorite vice. It is almost an en
couragement to the rich. Then,
again, the town profits much by the
surplus revenue which used only to
bpnefit the publican. Tho poor house,
the school, the public gardens, In
short, all municipal institutions, are
more easily entertained. Nearly ev
ery town in Sweden has adopted the
plan. It has beeji in force in Stock-
holm for over two years. In 18o4
twenty-one liters of spirits wpredrank
per head to the population; in 1S78
only ten liters were consumed, and
r.iuce then I am assured there has
been a ptill greater, diminution of con
sumption. .

WASHINGTON', March i. Secreta
ry Scbnrz spent two hours with thS
joint committee on Indian affairs, to
day explaining the details of'his
agreement with the TJte Indians. Hb
also submitted a hill which he had
drawn to carry out the agreement,
the passage of Which he asked of
Congresp. The bill provides for Ihrt
ratification of the.agreement between
Secretary Schnrt and Ouray, anctan
tborlzes a commission to negotiate
with the Utes for a treaty unde,r
which they shall surrender to tha
United Slates Government thejr res
ervatlon In Colorado upon certain"
conditions. The.e conditions are
1. That each, Indian man, woman
and child shall have lo0 acres of land
In neveralty within the limits of thelir
present reservation on theGrand Riv
er, about fifty miles sonth of the"
Grand River Agency.
2. That the United States shall pay
the Indians $1,250,000. which shall b
Invesfpd in 4 per cent bonds of tha"
United Statep, and the Interest upon
which shall he paid to them quarter
ly, together with the $25,000 ppr year
that lsnwing them under the existing"
treaty
3. The government Is to build fhorri
houses to the value of $3-50,000,, with
a saw-mill find grist-mill. They are
also to be furnished with horses,, cat
tle, agricultural implements, and sujh
other equipments as will be necessary
for them to pfart on the roa"rf to for
tune as herdsmen and farmers.
4. Four thousand dollars is to bfl
distribdted pacfa year among thprrt in
reasonable amounts' in the natnre of
awards to thoso who have made tho
mostprogrpR toward civilization. T
5. Tho annual salary of $1,000 that
is now paid to Ouray shnll be contin
ued to him through his natural life.,
Thepp are in brief tha condition!)
under which the Utes are anked to
surrender the greater part of their
reservation. Under them they will
be allowed to retain about SOOiOOO.
acres.
The Colorado delegation are not at
all satisfied with this arrangement.
They particularly ohjectpd to the lo
cation that has been selected, whifjh
they say is the heart of- the riiinerrfl
region of Colorado. Spnatof .Teller
expresses himself very frpely. Ho
says the terms proposed in Secretary
Schtirz's bill are so liberal that such
legislation will be merely an induce
ment offered to other tribes to massa
ere their Sgeht ahd h!s employes.jrav
ish their wives and daughters, and
burn the buiidingsof the agency, for
under the terms the Secretary has sug
gested the Utes will be better off than
they were before, while the citizens
of Cblorado and the government will
puffer all the disadvantages of the
change. Mr. Teller thinks that Ou
ray Is a sharper man than Schurz, for
every actual and possible advantage"
of this new arrangement is on the
side of the Indians. Instead of being
punished for the crime they have
committed, Senator Teller Pays that
the Utes are now to be rewarded, and
if this arrangement Is consumated by
act of Congress, It will merely encour
age s-uch outbreaks among the Indi
ans As occurred last fall

boat-load of 240 tons of foreign salt
