It wall be noted from the figures preceding these that the capita consumption has increased in nine years almost halt a gallon, Can st be possible that the Democrats haye been drowning thelr Sorrow #0 iduously, or ds it that the Republicans have been celebrating with more fervor than discretion? More Beer and Wine, Too. The gain in nine years amounts to 461-3 per cent, and if the increase In consumption was confined to whiskey alone this would be bad enough, But we are drinking more beer, to ) more wine, In fact, the Increase in the yrs of wine on the part of the Amer! people is remarkable, im the mine years since 189 our ‘wine consumption bas increased exactly 100 per cent We spent $96,413,(28 for wine in the year ending Juno 30, 1904, and @ good ‘portion of it was spent ag smothe Se , WHAT WE DRANK IN 1904, MDOtAd sisssesesess svssesvsves BG 787,876 Are we becoming a nation of hard Grinkera?

Of thia great sum, exceeding a@ billion dollars, the people of the United States wpent $1,277,727,19 for beer and whis- key and wines, They spent $165,395,525 for coffee; $47,600,000 for tea, and $8,000,- 000 for cocoa, As a nation we spend about aix times as much for alcoholly| 4 stimulants as we do for stimulants of nature, ndpoint of the advocate of temperance the most alarming fea- ture of the growth of drink Is the faot that whiskey, instead of falling out of fashion as a beverage or stimulant, ts growing in favor. Despite the fact that most of the whiskey sold to-day Is a combination of chemicals and more or less injurious, the people seem to like it, We apent $181,799,962 for whiskey from June 80, 1903, to June 9, 194, No, gentle reader, this Is not the editorial we. The average consumption of whiskey per capita was 1.48 gallone—two points short of @ gallon and a half for every man, women and child from the Atlantic to the Pacifico and the Canadian to the Mexican boundary, Many Don't Drink at All. But there are millions of chitren who have never drunk whiskey, and millions upon millions of men and women who do not use dt. The chances are that the consumntion of whiskey 1s confined to about one-thind of vhe pgpulation, or less.

They eay the hat sent for them to wear welghs four or five pounds, will gooroh off their hair, and by weight strain the muscles of their necks, besides acting like a miniature stove and thus befog their domes of thought, To avert such a catastrophe, there- fore, 800 inspectors have petitioned Bec- retary Shaw at Washington, through J, $. Clarkson, Surveyor of the Port, to banish the caps and allow straw to be worn, This was done yesterday in the form of @ round robin letter, and to- day the whole Customs service is anxiously awaiting the result. Look Like Trombone Players, If they are forced to wear these caps, they say, they will be taken for horn blowers aboard ship when working near the German steamship lines, as the caps look very much like those worn by musical artists, and mistaken {den- uty of this kind would lead to confu- gion and interfere with governmental) hundreds duties, without rellef.
