Owing to a snowstorm almost as blizzard- ish as the ono that ovcurred two years ago yesterday, o smallor wudi than was expected was present at St. Paul's Episcopal church Inst evening to listen to tho reply of the rector, the RRev. T. J, Mackay, to the muisterial criticisms that were made upon his recent open letter to Tur Bee, taking a | stand against prohivition us a means rting the evils of intemperance, He chose for the basis of his remarks lst Corintnians, XI1:6: *“Iuore ars diversitios of operations, but it is the same God that worketh all in all.” Before commen speaker desirad to d great question of the day. friend of tho saloon intersst, uo mtter what feiendly intorest hie took in tha men who run the saloons. For their business he had no friendship, and would spare no effort to induce them to relinquish it and in business that would insure e respect of their fellowmen. Like our own divine Lord and Master he distin- guished botween the sin and the sianer. The Muster loved the poor sinner whilc hated the sin that consumed them. and o he would strive in all his intercourse with men to draw out the better side of their natures by love und sympathy, while at the samo time loathing the sin that binas them eaptive to its will. Neither would he shut his eyes to the conditions of soviety that demand that S0WE MCN MUSY enguge 1u Lhis tratic cither legitimutely or illegitimately. He realizod that the appetite was one common to the race, that within_certain bounds it must be gratified, and that the gratificatic 0 loug as the appetite is controllea i son. It 1s the condition of society s the saloon possible, and b loon by prohubiting the sale of liquor ry form apd munner is attacking the effect instead of the cause of the discase, Said ne: “Those who know me personaily know that if I had my way aud coull accomplish wy desire, there would not be in cxistence in whis city toduy a single means by which a brother man mizht be tempted to s fally but I realizo that an appetite that has been iu existence as long as wan has lived on the earth cannot be wiped out 10 a day or ina buadred years; and the only difference be tween mo and my brethron who believe in prohibition s one of diffor of opiuion us to how the end we both strive to accomphish miy be most successfully gained. *[ o not believe in profiibition, because it is llogical, impracticable and unsc Prohibition 1s illogical because it 1 admny the presence of the major pr its reasoning. Itignores entirely the natur of mau. Man is created with cortain appe- tites und passions, which in th lve: wheu properly controlled, are not of the na- ture of s They are part of his natury and it is onlv as he gains the victory over them that he can justly lay claim to the grand title of man. Ifor tho proper oxercise of his [ must huve frec will. Any system which leaves out of sight this teuth is illogical and founded on @ busis which must sursly fuil, Ior instauce, take the communistic schemes that have been tried in tnis and cther coun- triesread their failure and you will find the cause to lie in their endeavoring to rec struct 0 without regzard to the funda- mental coaracterisiics of his nature. Grand as were tho aims,they failed becanse of their intolerance und disregard of tho affections, passions and will of mankind. Now thoe eu- deavor to make .men tomperate by legisla- tion is an_attempt n the same direction. ‘Che profibitionists argue that man is pass: ive and may be moulded into shape by ont- sido pressure. The legislature 1s the mould- inez muching, and in the process they hope to evolve a man ' with every phass of his character perfect. They fall into the same error as the socialista who talk of a new world from wh moral freedom should be practically excluded. Prohibition ignores tho fuct of man's history aud his present oonditien, and administers a remedy which is acclared to be a specitic for all the woes of life. The arguments of prohibitionists ure ‘They assert that because we main- 0 a law against murder we are warrantad in putting a law against the sale of liquors on the same statute books. Let me ask the person making such an assertion: Do you law againsc the selling of liquors on the same pliane as the law of God ugainst murder? 18 the law “Thou shalt not seil liquor,’ or “Thou shalt not drink’ of equul importunce with the law ‘Ihou shait not kill' Is the drinking of a glass of beer or whisky asin s greav as the taking of o maw's life! and a sin in atselft The fact is there is 6o law against murder on the stat- utes of [owa. e aro laws defining the punishment for murder, but no law prohibic- ing it. ‘Che reason is self-evident. There is no necessity for putting such a law on the stawute books. it is a luw a8 old bumanity itself, and one t finds its justification m_the' universal o science of humanity. Thoreforo it is the punishments enacted by the law- powers against the taking of human life aro capubie of enforcement. [ would ask my logal friends if it is not a well known axiom of law that the law must always be just, and if this is the case, punishment musi bo inflicted only on what 18 morally wrong. It is sometimes said that the sole object of pun- ishment 18 the provention of harm 1o the community, but this is not the true concep- tion of punishment. Punishment implies moral trausgression. An object of punish~ ment is the pr tion of crime, but it is also the prevention of crime as crime, and not merely as harm, Is the drinking of hquor in itself a erimet! ‘Crue, acrimeis a viola- tion of 1aw, but it is universally understood to be an offense against morality also. 'L am not in favor of moderate drinking because of whut I have said; far from it. ‘lotal abstinence from all kinds of liguora is the only safe rulc of life. Hut it would be equal w shutting my oyes aod refusing to see what I8 plainly evident did I refuse to see thut liquor may be used in moderation without ovil effects, and in many cases with actual bevefit. Our vodily appstites are not proper subjocts for such legislation as 18 pro- posad, and it canuot be just to punish a whole people for the offenso of some. The declara- tion of the recant pronibition convention at Des Moines that ‘the state should declare the manufagiure ana sale of liquor a crime’ does not make iva crime. These men must prove that the selling of a glass of liquor or the drinking of the sume is a crime in itself before they can call upon the stats to declare it such. But whera is the offcnse against worality in the moderate use of ligquor! 1t will be replied: ‘It is the immoderate uso of liguor we strive to prevent by prohibition,' Not 8o fast. By your laws and the pumishment adaed ‘thoreto you deny the right of every man to use liquor in any maoner, temperately or medecinully. While the aivine law “Thou shalt not kill? admits of exceptions in cases of self-aefonse, the prohibitory luw adwits of no exceptions, as interpreted by thoe radicals of that party. ‘The ovject of punishment is not merely to tell men that the trausgression of the law is dungerous, but that it is immoral. How long will it ba beforo the large proportion of our citizens can be led to 100k upon the restrictad salo of liquor or the moderate use of the same as immoral! If the time ever comos that a majority of our citizens in the large citios of Towa shall decide that the selling aud using of liquor is & crine, we may hope 10 prohibit tho suls with some iweasure of success. The advocates of high license and local option govern themselves by this com- mon axiom, that a law to be effectual must bo sustained by the pablic opinion of a majority of the citizeus affected by it. " I would reply to the asser- tion of the prohibitionists that ‘an act which is crimioul in one part of the state shall be criminal in another,’ by deny~ ing the criminality of the act, and asserting the right of each community to regulate affairs that ouly coucern themsolves. Special lexislation for cities 1s not & thing unknown, and no complaint 1s made that such legisla- Uion is ‘lagonsistent with the diguity of the ng his argament the I his position on thy Ho was not a onza them A= that, aking THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, JANUARY 1 11 cstab- import- atate, or the administration of jus! an epidemic of smallpox provails, th lishwent of & quarantine is of vital ance in city, while in sparscly settled dis tricts such extreme precautions might be unnecessary.

But of what rights or libertics does the sale of liquors doprives mani Even when used to excess, though the man may be a 8lave to Liis own evil hubit, he is 80 by his own free will and choice. © is still a free and moral agent, and the responsiviiity for his owu acts rests upon himself, vot uson his fellow men. The analogy between pro- hibition and slavery will uot be perfoct uutil men aro compelled” to be drunkards against thoir will. Prohibition asa remedy for in: tempevance is impracticablo, It deals not with the conditions of affairs a8 thoy actually ure, but as they shoula be, Instead of doing the best we cun with human nature as wo fiud, and bewg content to avail ourselves of the means within our reach, protibition would compel us 1o resort to measures th are practically unattainabie. Instead of ing to enforce the laws which were on onr stiatute books against thesale of whisky which would made our state grandly temperate, another law is passed much more stringont, and it 15 expected to prov i success, It would scem to the avera thinker that it a moderate law cannot be en- forced, that such a stringent law as the pro- hibitory luw would be much harder to enforce and would therefore prove u failare. Had the friends of prohibition exerted themselves 1o enforces the inw that already existed, and had made it successtul, their present, ad vanced position would bo 1 line with their ctice and theory, while now it looks as it they were tired of 'persoual efforts for the suppiession of intemperance and threw the burden that rightly bolongs to each individ ual on the shoulders of the state.

Iu Philadelphia the number of sa- loous has been reduced under high license frow 8,000 to 2,560, aud in many other cities with as good resnlts; while in Council Blufts after six years of prohibition we lave more saloons than wnen license prevailed and the character of many of them disgraceful in the extreme. 1fprolibition after years of trisl means free whisky, am [ wrong in saying it is impractical in’ its aim and object, and am [ wroug in advocating the repeal of A law that has produced such disastrous re #uits? “Lhe practical question is, which s the best for the morals of our city, number less suloons, run by dangerous parties, uc companiced by 4 growing disregard for all W, or i fow suloons under tne rol of the authorities, run by responsible men under heavy nouds to observe the law? But it is said thut no further effort hus been made to e fores the prohibitory law. If the rocords of v courts during the past six years will not show the falsity of that statoment, and if the expenses taxed up 1o the county Lo pay for the informers and lawyors who have reaped nharvest, will not contradict this ussertion, then no proofs that T can bring forward will. The closing of a saloon in which a foul murder was commit- ted is cited as an evidence of what may be done with all the other saloons, bat let it be remembered that this disreputable dive would never huve been in existence under any other law than that of prohibition and free whisky, and that it was close the public opmion of the panple was ag; its existence. It i3 a proof that in the o iou of u lavge majority of our people miurder is crime, while the usc and sale of liuor is not so considered. My assertion that the prineiple of prohibition is unseriptual I shail estublish by u refercnce to the sacrod scrip- ture itself.” The whole idea of (he gospel is the freedom from law. We do not read of Jesus advoeating the passage of laws to en- force His ideas, but on the con rrow- ing down the Moswic law to general laws: ‘Love god and love your neichbor n3 yourself, foron these two commaudmel hang all'the law of the prophels.

T Jenkius that o very large proportion of bodies found in the North and 19 rivers are doubtless those of persons who have unconsciously walked to death on dark or stormy nights. It is a singular fact that death is often enused by paralysis of the heart rather than by dvowning, and in some instunces this has led to the pelief that the vietim had been murdered and then thrown into the river.

Any deviation at this time from that policy by our government will not only huve a contrary effect to the one desired, namely, cheaper sugar, but may permanently destroy in the United States an | inrdustry which is today a source of great national wealth to ( nu Austria and France ana which the great commer- cial, agricultural asd manufacturing indas try on the continent of Burove today, and all tins hias been accomplished within the last fifty yeurs oy & progressive tariil which is continucd 1o this duy in every country in the world which ice a pound of sugar. today France has aprotective tanif on sugar | of five cents a pound, Germany thice aud a | half cents, and Austria a little over four | cents, while we have only a_protection of | two cents a pound. But, gentlemen, we will | not have to wait fifty years, for we can tuke advantagn st once of that which the scienco of Lurope hus discovered and develop the art of sugar produciug aud suj ing, agriculturally and manifacturally spealk- ing, during the last ifty y In 1520 the suzar beet ouly contuin per cent of sugar to the weight of ti and ten years ago 9 per cent was woilst in 189 tho per cent has been obtaine every per cent means an increase of PouBds of sugar to the ton of ra about three hundred pounds o ihe acre, so that the refiner with the same labor, with the swine fuel, the same plant and sumo cap- ital invested obtains 100 pounds more sngar thau he did ten years ago. The resuit of this is to decreuse the cost of sugar to the pro- ducer and aventually to the consumer and by this process of selection and breeding in the next fifteen the average wili surely be 20 per cent of sugar to the weight of the beet. 1 have polarized beets in N braska which contumed 20 per ceut of sugar und by selecting these beets and by breeding from them 1n the course of a few rs we shall be able to obtain i crop with a general average up to that standard.

Properly carrigd on the cultivation of the sugar beet is greatly beneficial to all other agricnlture, ‘U'be deep and careful cultivation which the beet requires greatly improves the land, the soilbecoming thereby deepened and the disin- tegration and solution of the mineral con- stituents groatly accelerated, The toproot of the beet decends to a great dgpth o1 soil which most other plants fail Lo reach.
