COMMON SENSE move of the brewers is to undertake themselves the work of eliminating dives and low-class saloons. The New York State Lager Beer Association has made an agreement with the bond- ing companies by which the brew- ers will refuse beer and the bonding companies will not give bonds to disreputable liquor sellers. A com- mittee of the brewers is to act with a committee from the bonding com- panies to that end. This is the most sensible proposition which has been broached in this city for the lessening of the evils of alcoholic drink. It is for the ins) terest of the brewers, the bonders and the mass of humanity. i The strength of the prohibition movement comes not so much from total abstainers themselves as from people who see no other remedy tor dives and low-grade saloons. In the South, where the prohibition move- ment has most of its strength, many prohibition votes came from men who drink themselves, but want to keep liquor from the negro laborers Most of the crime in the South came from negroes buying vile liquor at saloons and dives, and the low white men who frequented these places Attempts have been often made by law to prevent the sale of intoxi- cating liquor to men who get drunk, to keep liquor out of disorderly neighborhoods and to restrict its u8e to those who do not abuse it, but the money to be made in running dives has had a corrupting political effect, and none of these attempts has been successful.

In response to the crowd's demands for entertainment Glarno announced that his cleverest per former, Mignon, would dance for them, Rudely he dragged a pretty girl from & wagon where she lay sleeping on a bed of straw. She was worn out and fll and wearlly refused Glarno’s demand fore dance. In rage, the gypsy chief picked up @ stick and was about to bring it down across her shoulders when old Lotario, breaking through the crowd, threw himself between the girl and her tormentor. Lotario did not recognize Mignon as the lost Sperata, but was moved by hee helplessness to interfere in her behalf. Giarno brutally hurled the weak old mam to one side, and again, with upraised stick, rushed at the trembiing Mignon. But a second protector came to the victim's rescue. Guglielmo, a rich travelling st dent, had paused at the inn for refreshment. Taking in the situation at a glance, ipped out a pi and cowed the gypsy bully into submission. Giarno and band slunk away, lashed by the student's scornful words; and Mignon, grate- y giving Guglielmo the bouquet of wild flowers sie carried, sought refuge trom the angry gypsies in a 1 y shed, ina, the actress in the ba ks.

Every reputable saloon-keeper knows that there is no profit in| drunken trade. One intoxicated man will make such a nuisance of him-| self as to drive a dozen sober customers somewhere else. The money gained by’ selling a man two or three drinks more than he should have is lost ten times over by the departure of the other men who will not as-} sociate with an offensive drunken man. Also the man who spends all he) earns in a saloon is of little financial profit to any saloon-keeper, because | he earns so little to spend and becomes an incubus on the place. The saloons which make the most money are not those which keep open the longest hours, but the popular places which have a large high-gfade trade. Such places will not tolerate a drunken or disorderly man on the premises. Considering what a big and populous country the United States is, there is not so much intoxicat- ing liquor sold per capita, but some men drink a great deal more than they should and some places are conducted in a manner that brings the whole liquor business into dis- repute. ; If the sale of liquor were conducied like the sale of boots or shoes or of cigars, or of groceries, where no man is allowed to buy more than| Mrs. | should be prow of that child, Mr. Jarr, he's like you in every way!
