The Supremo Court of the United States has rendered a decision in a liquor case’ that goes down to the Toots •of the question. A California dram- sellor was denied a renewal of his li­ cense, for kopping a disorderly house. He persisted in selling without a li­ cense, and found himself in durance file for his contumacy. A district judge released him on habeas dbrpus, holding that the license law of California was a •denial of the citizen's* right to ohoose bis own occupation and freely pursue it. The case went to the Supreme Court, which, through Justice Field, declares that no. man has an Inherent right to retail intoxicating liquors, but that the business has been regarded by all civil­ ized. nations as one that involves great risk* to society, and is therefore subject ■to str|ct limitations and special safe­ guards. There is no question of tho right of a Stato to limit tho number that may engage in it, and to restrict the business by such guards against abuse as the welfare of society may seem to require, The languago of the court is well , worth reading. It says: *‘lt Is urged that as the liquors are used as a beverage, and tho injury fol­ lowing them, if takon in excess, is vol­ untarily inflicted and Is confined to the party offending, their sale should bo without restrictions, the contention be­ ing that wliat a man shall drink, equal­ ly with’whathoshall eat, isnotproperly a matter for legislation. "There is in this position an assump­ tion of fact which doos not exist, that when tho liquors are takon in oxcess. tho injuries arc confined to tho party offonding. Tho injury, it is true, falls first uponhim in his health, which the habit undermines; in bis morals, wbiob it weakens; and in his self-abasement, which it creates. But as it leads to neglect of business and waste of prop­ erty and general demoralization, it affects those who are immediately con­ nected with and dependent upon him, "By thh genoral concurrence of opin­ ion of overy civilized, and Christian community, there are few sources of crime and misery to society equal to the dram shop, where intoxicating liquors, in small quantities, to be drunk at the time, are sold Indiscriminately to all parties applying, The statistics of every State show a greater amount of crime, and misery attributable to the use of ardent spirits obtained at these retail liquor saloons than to any other source. "The sale of such liquors in this way has, therefore, been, atall times, by the courtsof every State, considered a* the propersubject of legislative regulation. Hotonly may a license be exacted from tbs keeper of the saloon before a glass ot biz liquor Can thus be disposed of, but restrictions may be imposed as to the class of persons to whom they may besold, and ttaehours of tho day, and the days of the week on which tho Sa­ loonmay be opened. TheirSalein that formmay be absolutely prohibited. It is a question of publlo expediency, and publicmorality, andnot ot Federal law. Tbe police power of the State is fully Competent to regulate the business, to mitigate Its evil, orsuppressit entirely. ' "There Is no inherent right in a citl- sen to' sell Intoxicating liquors by re­ tail; it is not a privilege of » citizen of a Bute, or of a oltizen of the United States. As it is * business attended with danger to the community, it may, as already said, be entirely prohibited, or he permitted under such conditions as will limit to 'the utmost its evils. Thamaniier and extent of the regula­ tion rest la the discretion of the gov- eratag authority. "That authority may vest in such eftoers as It maydeem proper the power sf passing upon applications for peraia- skn to eury itonand to touts lto*a*w« tor that purpose. It ia nfeattoeeftotf* illative will only, As in sssny other oases, the. officersjnay not ilways exer­ cise the power conferred upon thorn with wisdom or justice to the,parties af­ fected, But that is a matter which does not affect the authority of the Stato, or one which can be brought under the cognizance ot the courts pf the United States,”—United Presbyterian. THE GREAT CURSE. Honey Spent for Liquor Would Bureliase Lund, In tho last report of the West London Mission. Bov. Itijgh Price Hughes says: "Strong drink Is the great curse. We can hot find words powerful enough to describe the extent and tho Intensity of the mischief which it works day by day, Ho Christian who knows 9s we know what the London liquor trade is really doing could either remain In it or sup­ port it for a single day. ” „ Henry George has described so ably the power and happiness of land-own­ ership that it would appear % desirablo condition for all men. That goal is in teach of every wage-worker. The drink money of the Nation for less than twelve years could buy all the forms lit the land at the value placed upon them by the census of .1880. Tbe real estate ' of the Nation in 1880 was ap­ praised at $13,030,768,025. Our drink bill would buy it all in less than fifteen years; and the savlngB in taxes, pro­ ductive capital and labor, raw material changed into wealth, etc,, would bank more than an equal amount in addition. Let us have "land for the people", on tho best of tenures deserving product ive ownership.—Reason. NOTES OF INTEREST: Tin; Supremo Court of Massachusetts has given an opinion that, if it can bo enforced, will prevent the sale of wines and spirits in olubs located in local op­ tion towns of that State. T he Young Men’s Christian Temper­ ance Unions have now a membership of thirty thousand, and raised and ex­ pended over thirty-five thousand dollars in their work during tho past year. W ith a delicate frame and nervous temperament, I have been enabled, by 'Temperance, to do the work of &strong man. But it has only been by more and more Temperance.—Richard Cobden. T he report of the Edinburgh Royal Asylum for I860 says: "We neve^ ex­ cept in 1878, had so many cases sent here in whioh the assigned cause of the malady was alcoholic oxcess as this year.” R alph W aldo E merson said: ‘ The -highest test of civilization is, not the census, nor tho size of the cities, nor the crops, no, but the kind of man the country turns ou t" The saloon system, with either a high or low1license fee, turns out tho worst kind of men. T he Bible Standard and Gospel Rec­ ord says: "Nows, comes from Africa tbat tho Arabs at Khartoum have boon bolding an indignation mooting, pro­ testing againBt tho Christian nations in­ undating Africa with their infernal liquor. 1Thoy also resolve to sell into slavory every ono found engaged in the traffic." . W hen will the Nation learn that overy form of shame is born of tho sa­ loon, and that every degroo of vice and crimo is the sura result of tbe drinking .habit. Saloons full of mon mean fewer customers in the bakory and tho grocery, kitchens and dining-rooms empty of food, while jails and prisons are crowd­ ed with patrons: "In at the spigot and out at the bunghole," was tho old saw for wastefulness. Never tuoro true than in vtho economics ofllconso.—-Na­ tional Temperance Advocate. Characteristic* o f Aloohotlsra. There aro three main characteristics in alcoholism: the mental stato, the im­ pulsions and the tendency to delirium at the slightest cause. The degenerate aro more susceptible than those who aro of well-balanced mind. Alcoholic delir­ ium differs in its symptoms from that of drinkers 'with no defects. In hered­ itary cases drunkenness comes in a short time;once started It assumes forms which recall its nature and predisposi­ tion. Alcoholic delirium of the predis­ posed does not resemble that ot the stereotyped delirium. The rigors of in­ toxication and the rigor* ot hereditary predisposition have a certain independ­ ence. The slowness of evolution, fre­ quence of relapsing, feebleness of men­ tal faculties, polymorphism of delirium characterize the alcoholism of tho de­ generate. Inveterate abuse ot drink­ ing In non-bereditarlly disposed, per­ sons creates a degeneracy like the hereditary. Organic physical resist­ ance diminishes ae excess Increases. Alcohol causes its special delirium; lit­ tle by little it simply plays the role of of an appointe. In a large number of cases the than Is not free not to drink. From the French Of Dr. Legrain. A Temperance Lecturer's Flan. In an English exchange a Temper- toe worker thus describes a novel ethod for arousing the attention of le people: " I have a notice board in ant of my house—* private one--on iich I tack posters of important meet* gs, diagrams, drink maps, pictures, ylngs of eminent men, scraps of «try, etc. Some are exhibited ,e week, some for two, and it is aetoh* ling the number* of passer* who atop d Ipok. They closely inspect and sd what is on the board. A11 classes s attracted, gentry, traders, mo­ saics, farm laborers, and even sots, so sta good diagram o r * striking picto s is m useful as an ordinary lecture, d really more so, because it caUfaes e attention of so many wh» never at* id our meetings.” • HOUSEHOLD BREVITIES. —Baked apples and cream has be* tome really a "fashionable dish." —Put bits of camphor gum in trunks or drawers to prevent the mice from do­ ing any injury. —To oloan hair brushes put a table- spoonful of ammonia into topld water, dip them up and down until clean, then dry with the bristlesdown.

SUMPTUARY REFORM. Societies For the Advancement of Fru­ gality Inflreu. Tho reported organization in various parts of tho country of societies for the “ advancomont of propriety and frugal­ ity in dress” is an interesting sign of tho toourronco of one of those periods of sumptuary reform which havo existed nt occasional intervals since the earliest ages. One of tho curiosities of history is tbe sudden wave of disgust against ornament of apparol. The burning of vanities, incited by tho preaching of Savonarola, tbo resorting to plain at­ tire in the time of the Pur tans, tbo return to classical simplicity in the days of French republicanism before tuo First Empire, are illustrations of the recurrent changes Inopinion in regard to dross. Usnallya voluntary rejection of sumptuous attlro has boon accompanied by tho improvement of social morals. Perhaps it might bo considered more accurately one indication of a higher moral standard. Plain dress, plain liv­ ing and high thinking have come to be considered the threo important factors of an upright life. At this period of sumptuary reform a disuso of decolette dress and o f all the varieties of trim­ ming and ornament has been recom­ mended. Dress, already simple and more bygien c than for many years, is thought susceptiblo of extended im­ provement, and all foreign fashions which add to the luxury of attire are placed under the ban of disapproval. The effect of this reform will! be that of discouraging imported goods and of Using simpler home manufactures if the spirit of change should he widely ex­ tended. . , One of the most useful features of the agitation in regard to simpler dress is noticed in schools. It is reported from Philadelphia that the girls of a large School of well:to-do families have been ordered not to wear bracelets and have been advised toot to wear such orna­ ments that the attention Will be di­ rected to dress instead of book*. The edict that "school is not the place to air finery” has created some indignation among'tbe pupils, hut has been received with commendation by the parent* Dress reform in schools ie alway* sure of publio fetor, end its present consid­ eration I* a useful Indication of a gen­ eral desire for simplicity.—Boston Jour tud* . * FAWCETT !
