(Thus more than one-half of all the children of the nation and about one-half of the total number enrolled and tho average attendunoe live in statos in whiob torn-peranoe instruction is obligatory. Think of 3,144,890 children, d.ily being taught the effects of alooholio liquor on the human body, and you can form some idea of what the coming generation will be. The total number of teaohors in the United States is 307,804 moro than ono half of whom (161,267) daily give eoientifio temperanoe instruction, Moreover the states tbat havo passed this law are the wealthiest and most prosperous, and have tho highest aver-ago salaried teaohers.

The twenty-one states that have not passed this law pay their 146, 537 teachers $26,. 526,779, an average of only $181 each, whilo tho seventeen states mentioned above, exclusive of tho territories, pay 155,311 teachers $34,770,400 an av-erage of $224. The estimated value of sites, buildings and all other school property in the seventeen states having laws compelling the instruction of the physiological effects of alcohol is $138,867,880, or $45 65 for each pupil attending, whilo tho estimated value of school property in the remaining twonty.ooe states is or only $27.43 per pupil attending, only three-fifths as muoh as in the seventeen states. Ic is self-evident, therefore, that the more prosperous and the better eduoatod the people of a state beoume tho more they beoome aware of the terrible ravages of the liquor traffic, and tho more they desire the children to beoome acquainted with the "dangers of using nkobolio liquors even moderately. Who can prophesy what immense progress will be made for prohibition in the next ten or fifteen yaars when the school ehildreu of today become legal voters.

Moreover, this man's liver did not do its proper normal work, for he died of dtficiency of bile." Dr. Francis says that the "livers ot those who abuse their constitutions with alcohol are usually very small and bard, and a pale straw color.and that thisoon dition follows tbat of the enlarged liver. The former is filled with hard knots or tubcroles, aod making what the English gin drinkers call the 'hob-nailed liver." Of oourso tho liver cannot do its duty in oleansing the blood in either case, and hence the alcohol drinker is a ready victim to any disease that is abroad. In cholera seasons, the drink ers become the first victims.

Adams, of Glasgow, says: "I have found the use of alooholio drinks to be the most po werful predisposing cause of cholera with which I am acquainted; were I one of tho authorities, and had the power, I would plaoard every spirit shop in town with largo bills containing the words: 'Cholera Sold One ot the reasons for this good doctor's opinion was, that while his cholera patients who were "temperate" died in the proportion of nineteen per cent, those who were intemperate died in the enormous proportion of ninety-one per cent.

The enemies of prohibition are not gifted in logic. Of all tie men of whom we have read, tbey are most unreasonable and inconsistant. A red-hot license man will usually contradict himself four or five times in a column. But it is not our olject now to point out their weaknesses in general, but simply to notice some of their blunders respecting the proper means of dealing with what all acknowledge to be the greatest curse of the age. Before saying this, however, we want to say that in our opinion, it is possible for men to be honest and yet favor a lioense law, We know that it is a wonderful stretch of charity to grant it, but are willing to concede such a possibility.

We verily believe that there are good men and true, even in Iowa, who have not studied the subject sufficiently to be sure as to the right course to be pursued in the ru atter. It is therefore with feelings of leniency that we consider the subject named for our present writing. It is usually argued that we must lioense id order to regulate I Bat why license the sale of liquor in order to regulate it We do not proceed: in this way when dealing anything else. We do not license theft in order to commit it; murder, fraud, adultery, counterfeiting, don't have to be regulated by a license. Indeed if any man should propose Buch a plan of dealing with such offenses, his sanity would nt once become a matter nf doubt in the minds of all those who have given aay attention to each subjects.

You. cannot prevent anything by lioensing it. Nothing is, ever was, or ever will be hindered in that way. Ous license law makers know this, and consequently attach prohibitory features to their license regulations. After all, then, the license features of the law have nothing to do it lessening the amount ot drinking.

And even the prohibitory features of the same law are greatly weakened by being antagonized by contradictory features of the same law. No law can both prohibit and license the same thing at the same time. Consequently a license law is a I liquor has met with unusual success in tho legislatures of seventeen states Alabama, Connecticut, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New are making yourf elf a business partner in all the cringes, abominations and the endorsement of all good people, and be productive of moie good to the laboring men and the country than all the firemen."
