be of importance to the heads and 8ub-

has some detail of public affairs to con-
trol for the benefit of the solemn looking
Chinamen in charge.- -
Those papers which may be read by
anybody who can master Chinese and
raise the price to buy them contain edicts
to the people, notices of various kinds
and sometimes, it is geld, peremptory
commands from high handed and crook-
ed officials—Chinese officials are nothing

of the poorer classes to either conee
around and pay tribute for certain privi-
leges or have their pigtailed heads chop-

who knows much about the system ex-
plains it. -
One of. the peeuliarities of this odd
journal since the first day of its exist-

My Dear b'ellow Citizens --It is my
cueeom heforci proceeding to the busi-
ness of the OVentog to take up a collec-
tiorraueoug the audience for the benefit
of some charity. On this occasion the
eubject is the iudividual who stands
before you. I nave managed to get
along for the last three days on 87
cents, but 1 can go no further. While
there is 110 dOlibt that I am worthy of
all you can do for me, yet no one need
feel under obligations to give. I will
now pass around the hat, and as I
Mnove among You I am glad to observe
that the audience assembled here to-
niglat is one of the most cultivated I
have eeen for months. 1 will not be
base enough to think that free admis-
sion Lied anything to,do with it. You
name to hear one of the great ques-
tions of the day discussed by one of
the great meators of the century, and
had the price of tickets been 10 cents
each I believe that one and all would
have cheerfully coughed up. I do not
use that expreselon in it slang sense,
but as a Latin phrase. I find that the
collection amounts to 70 cents, and,
thanking you from the bottom of my
heart and trusting that you may go
mit of here better men and women, I
will now begin:
My friends, I have ln my pocket the
figures showing just how many distil-
leries and breweries there are in, the
United States and just how much whis-
ky •ancl beer are made every 24 hours
CHRISTOPHER,
during the year. But why give them
Why tell you that 1,000,000 of our pop
ulation go to bed drunk every night in
the year and that the money spent for
drink every clay would provide all the
widows with sealskin sacks and French
heeled shoes'? We all know those
things. Let us begin with Christopher
Columbus, who had rather more to do
with America than any man who has
come after him. I give you his picture
on the canvas. You look puzzled and
surprised. You can't make it out. You
behold Christopher lying drunk on the
highway, with a jug ou one side and a
hog on the other. 1t is a fanciful pic-
ture. I want you to look ale it closely
and keep it in your Minds, and every
day for years to come I want you to
ask yourself what would have happen-
ed if Columbus had been that sort of
man. When Ferdinand and Isabella had
fitted him out for Lis voyage, suppose
Pc had gone and got a three days' jag
on and had rolled around in the mud
and had had three or four scraps with
other old bums. Can you for an instant
believe that he would have been left in
command of tbe expedition or that this
country would have been discovered
for the next 50 years? But there was
no boozing. He may have taken a
farewell drink of root beer or lemon-
ade, as was eminently proper, but 11
ended right there, and he became world
famous as a • result. A whole hem-
ispheve and millions of people OlVe him
a debt of gratitude and will remember
his name forever because of his ab-
stinence. The lesson taught by the pie -
thee is plain to all. Get drunk, and you
will be sent to the island for 30 days;
10010111 sober, and you will become fa-
motie.
My friends, let me give you the pic-
ture of George Washington as be was
about to cross the Delaware and gain it
great victory over the British.. You ,
observe that George is lying drunk!
with his feet on a chair while the pa-
triot army waits for him to take the
lead. You murmur nud are aghast
You uever beard that the Father of
ilis Country got a jag on. ,No more
did be. I give you this picture as
an object lesson, and I ask you where:
this couatry would have. been today
