The Prohibitory Amendment. STUDY OF THE COXG’LZCIIUROH, 1‘ NEW CANAAN, Conn., Aug 5, ’89.) En. GAZETTE :——In response to your in- vitation to say something in your paper on the prohibitory amendment, I would ventilate the top of a few opinions as fol- lows: Everybody knows the saloon is a nuisance. Nobody lives in one, over one, or beside. one who can help it. A saloon looks bad, smells bad, sounds bad, and if it was a fever ridden ship cast up on the main street of Norwalk, or any other city, brave men at the risk of their lives would rain dynamite on it, and blow it into the depths of over fifty billion fathoms of the most misrepresented, Calvinistic, Dante- istic, eternal Sodomic, Gomorrhic sheol which had men ever dreamed of and good men shudder at. But altho’ the most dreadful plague we can think of, men Will not put their votes under the saloon and upset it. This is the question: Saloon or no saloon. Not how many jugs a man will put into his cellar. Not how many nips a man will take behind the closet door. That is a question between men and their wives. And there is no place like home for alcohol to show its affinity for water, We knew aman who put in his cellar a whole gallon of pure whiskey in the morning, but by evening the damp- ness of the cellar had allgonc into the jug. The man asked his Wife to explain, and she smiled. W Oineli:bclievc in protection, and they protect. We believe in inter- fering with no man’s rights. If a man is bound to drink we. cannot help it. But we think we can help him not to be bound to it, by taking temptation out of his way. We propose to say: Brother, this christ- ian community does not put the Bible in one of your hands and a liquor license in the other, and then to a kind of mixed 11 he of the “Devil’s dance,” and “Old hundred,” say, “March on to glory.” We believe the license will beat the Bible every time. People don’t get tired of dances :as easily as of doxologies. But some say license isa restriction. SO is a whistle. When the blood-hound’s nose is on the scent, when his ears are 11p and his tail is set, whistle, :and yonder in the darkness the victim wrestles, the blood gurgling from his throat. With red tongue the dog looks up to see why you whistled. And you pat him with an- other license and hang his picture on the wall. The greatest liumbng in Connecti- cut is the license law, by which we try to bamboozle ourselves into the belief that we hold in check the saloon and make it pay its bills. Pay its bills for-sooth. Last year the liquor business in this state was worth ten million dollars, and for the privilege of doing this business liquor dealers paid about three hundred thous- and dollars. But this was not half enough to pay one bill the state had to pay largely as the result of the use of intoxicants. I mean the bill for the support of paupers, which was six hundred and sixteen thou- sand dollars. There is not a. rumseller in this state who does not try to increase his business every year. The license we vote to give him is a license to do as much business as he can. Saloon keepers have the right to say to voters, “It is none of your business how much we extend the evils of intemperance we have paid the fee.” Saloon keepers do not care a nickel for all the nice; moral distinctions, which we may say underlie the granting of a permit to sell liquor. i-ie values the “cer- tificate” only because it stands between him and the jail. So thin a barrier stands between us and duty and right. But, we cannot tear it down. “re cannot tear it down because “We are not ready for the question.” This is what pious men tell us. “The giants are there.” “The Sons of: Anak are there.” 0 my eye. Thirty-six hundred years of life and we are only where the shivering Israelites were when with God Almighty on their side, they said, “We are not able to go up and possess the lant .” Christian Church seventeen million strong not able to go up. The almighty press not able to go up. Homes of Connecticut not able to go up. Free Masons, Odd Fellows, Temperance Societies, Y. M. C. A., and all benevolent and moral and educational institutions of this state not ready to :go up and defeat the Saloon power. Able to enlarge jails, able to enlarge the state prisons, able to build reformatories, insane asylums and poor-houses, able to support increasing police forces and criminal judiciary, able to sacrifice the fairest and best men of the State, able to ruin homes and to break hearts, able to waste, to squander, to tax iurselves, to sacrifice to pay the taxes, but not able to cut the root of the evil and kill it dead. Connecticut, Connecticut! I see the sainted faces of your pioneers and fathers. The Davenports, the Mathers, the Shermans and Huntingtons, the Win- throps, the Haynes and Talcotts and Trumbulls. They are looking at us. They seem to be asking, “Is this our state ?” Is it true “Qui transtulit Sustin- et ?” Not ready for this question P Get ready. Wheel into line sober men, solid men, honest ‘men, right minded men, Christian men, Forward, March I One, two, three, now altogether, and away goes from grand old Connecticut her greatest cul'Se—the liquor traffic. “The crisis presses on us ; face to face with us it stands; 1 With solemn lips of question, like the Sphinx in Egypt’s sands; This day We fashion Destiny, our web of Fate we spin ; '1 his day for all hereafter choose we holiness or sin ; Even now from starry Gerizim, or Ebal’s cloudy crowa, ii'c call the dews of blessing, or bolts of curs- ing down.” F. E. HOPKINS. Ahorse belonging to millrman O. L. Bassctt died§yesterday morning. ~ NORWALK GAZETTE, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7, 1839. '1' H E I). M. READ 00., BRIDGEPORT. S0 UTHNOR WALK Miss Lena Swords paid a visit to Miss Jessie Wattcrman in Meriden, last week. Many commuters and other travelers are studying the map of New York state, to find the location of Trenton, on the line of the Harlem railroad. Several unbiased persons who have at- tended all the meetlngs held in Musre hall in the interest of the constitutional amendment, assert that the only new and original ideas presented in favor of that subject, were given by the Rev. Mr. Tor- rey in his discourse. The cellars and side-walk Obstructions on Washington street, have been com- pleted, and are ready for the flagstone. The writer has had orders for 10 extra copies of the GAZETTE from New York, containing the article on “Prohibition,” and 6 orders for the Republican, with the account of Bailey’s assertions in Music hall, and editorial comments thereon. Everybody is now preparing to partici- pate in the Butchers’ barbecue, knowing that they will unjoy more than 25 cents worth of fun, besides a good dinner. Some delay has been made in replank- ing the foot bridge, but it is to be finished this week, and when the old planks and timbers are removed, it will be the chief promenade of the city. Only the wealthy and editors can afford to ride. The seating capacity of the new rooms occupied by the U. G. T. R. A. was only sufficient to accommodate those present at the meeting on Sunday afternoon Mr. Grant of Five Mile River conducted the exercises and made an earnest appeal to all laborers of the temperance cause. Many present followed in the same way, making the exercises both interesting and profitable. Six persons signed the pledge. There were ten applicants for the West Point appointment examined in Bridge- port on Thursday. The candidates were as follows: William J. Burden of Salis- bury, aged 19, weight 145 ; David F. Hunt of South Norwalk, aged 17, weight 149; Robinson L. Vaili of Winsted, aged 19, weight 128‘; Philip W. Prior of Stamford, aged 17, weight 130; Frederick B. Hub- bell of Newtown, aged 18, weight 160; Royal N. Buell of Litchfield, aged 17 weight I45 ; Martin Greenburg of Bridge- port, aged 19weight156 ; Elwood E. Strat- ton ofBridgeport, aged 18, weight 123; John A. Leonard of Bridgeport, aged 26, weight 117; F. S. Gorham of Shelton, aged 18, weight 141. The decision of the ex- amination committee has not yet been an- nounced. Eupepsy. This is what you ought to have, in fact, you must have it, to fully enjoy life. Thosands are searching for it daily, and mourn because they find it not. Thous- ands upon thousands of dollars are spent annually by our people in the hope that they may attain this boon. .And yet it may be had by all. We guarantee that Electric Bitters, if used according to di- rections and the use persisted in, will bring you good digestion annd oust the demon dyspepsia and install instead eupepsy. We recommend Electric Bit- ters for dyspepsia and all diseases of liver, stomach and kidneys. Sold at 500. and $1. per bottle by H. R. Hale, druggist. A v‘ 7‘ A Scrap Of Paper Saved Her Life. It was just a scrap of ordinary wrapping paper, but it saved her life. She was in the last stages of consumption, told by physicans that she was incurable and could live only a short time; she weighed less than seventy pounds. On a piece of wrapping paper she read of Dr. King’s New Discovery, and got a sample bottle; it helped her, she bought a larger bottle, it helped her more, bought another and grew better fast, continued its use and is now strong, healthy, rosy, plump, weigh- ing 140 pounds.
