SALOONS.

Who are Responsible for Them?

Rev. E. F. Howe Fixes ilie Responsibility.

THE AUDIENCE—MUSIC.

Sometime last summer, Rev. E. F. Howe, pastor of the Congregational Church, delivered a sermon at Dowling Hall entitled: "Saloons and Who are Responsible for Them." It being a very inclement evening the attendance was very meager. By request of the Order of Good Templars of the city, the Rev. gentleman repeated the sermon last evening in pursuance of previous announcement to that effect in the Evening GAZETTE and the other city papers also giving some points in addition to those given upon the occasion of the first delivery of the effort.

At the usual hour for church services last evening, the elegant and spacious auditorium of the Congregational Church, as revised, was filled to its utmost comfortable seating capacity with the intelligence and elite of the city, to listen to the repetition of the sermon on the above subject by the pastor.

After several appropriate and beautiful selections had been artistically and grandly rendered by the choir, Prof. ide at the organ and after Mr. How® had addressed the Throne of Grace in an appropriate prayer, he delivered his remarks, portions of which we will give the readers of the GAZETTE in substance.

THE ADDRESS

was from the following text: "For ho that biddetli him God speed is partaked of bis evil deeds."—John, 2:11.

The Apostle here lays down the principle that wrongs should not be encouraged even by words then how much heavier is the responsibility when deeds are added to words, in aiding and supporting an evil. The words of the Apostle, quoted above, expressed the principles underlying the foundation of what the reverend gentleman had to say.

Ho (hen explained responsibility as one of those peculiar kind of things which by a number participating in an evil could not be diminished. The accomplice of a murderer, though he does not do the bloody deed, simply aiding and abetting criminates, himself while he in no way diminishes or takes from the guilt and responsibility of the murderer. Even the man who sells the fatal pistol when he knows that it is to be instrumental in the taking of the life of a fellow mortal, is responsible, though it does not lessen the responsiblity of the chief actor in the killing. Individual responbility is not diminished one itfta by the participating of others in the same evil, whatever the character of that evil may be.

SALOONS.

By saloons the speaker mean tall places where intoxicating liquors are retailed. Such places are not necessary in a community. True, it gives one man a few more dollars, but it sends him to h—1. Some things may be tolerated, If there Is no harm done. Saloons are not of that character of things which, while they are of no use, are productive of no harm. They create an increase of drunkenness, one of the worst evils known to mankind. Young men who are just passing through "the stormy period of life," or from boyhood to manhood, become aware that the parental restraint is taken from them, and feel that they must take care of themselves their parents and friends are "old fogies." At that critical period of life they fall an easy prey to the saloons and attendant evils which are so invitingly near. Such places as saloons are much more llkly to cause intemperauce than social driuking, which the reverend gentleman thought bad enough. If young men could be induced to take a pledge never to drink intoxicating liquors, only at home, it would be about as effectual a preventive of drunkenness as a pledge to total abstiuenoe. It is the convenience that is injurious. The eustom of "treating" is also pernicious and productive of drunkenness. That custom only prevails at saloons, to an alarming and destructive degree. This is all because the saloon is so convenient, hence so productive of drunkenness and consequent misery. Men who are exhausted by the transaction of a day's business find it so convenient to just step across the alley and stimulate a little, which is repeated, it may lie, until the man is a bankrupt, and but short distance from the grave of a drunkard, while his wife is brokenhearted, aud his family in the most abject poverty.

The speaker, several years ago, took some ale, soou afterwards his lips would be parched and he would want another glass the more he got the more he wanted, and asked a physician what it

it is a thing with which many of the auditors of the speakera re too familiar with! "Free lunches"—salt fish and condiments—are placed within reach of patrons of the saloons, which create a thirst for more liquor when partaken of. Very kind and generous of the saloonist, but placed there with a purpose to make men drink more than they otherwise would.

If a criminal is to be sought for the saloons are searched first, by the officers of the law, and when found is generally found there.

THE RESPONSIBILITY

of the saloons in this community and elsewhere rests upon those who patronize them. Saloon keepers do not spend their lives there because it is pleasant. It is simply the old law of trade, supply and demand, and the demand creates the supply. Those of this city who pay out their money in the saloons are the men who practically say God speed in the demoralizing work. Many of them are respectable men many of them claim to be Christain men. Though they may not be such fools as to get drunk, they set an example to the boy to go in there who knows no better than to get drunk. The besotted husband goes in and drinks, and goes home and abuses his wife and family.

Every man in this city who patronizes a saloon is responsible for them to the degree of his patronage, and his responsibility is not lessened one iota by any one else being guilty of the same act.

saloon keepers Mr. Howe said: "Of all men in the world whom I pity from the very bottom of my heart, it is the man who keeps a saloon. He is down to the very bottom and the very lowest depths to which he can get."

In speaking of the responsibility of saloons, Mr. Howe said that business men are responsible who rent their property to saloon-keepers, or loan their money for the establishment of saloons anywhere. The speaker claimed that he had just as much right to rent his parlor to a saloon-keeper for the purpose of retailing liquors as any man or woman in this city had to rent a business room to any one for the same purpose. He added that notwithstanding this right he would be expelled from the pulpit did he do it. His expulsion under such circumstance, he admitted, would be right and proper, but that men who claimed to be respectable members of society in this town, do business on the same principle.

Last July the Rev. gentleman could have pointed out ten saloons, the property where they were located being owned or controlled by men who claim to be of the first respectability aud to do that he would only have to go from Seventh to Main, walk across Third to Ohio, back to Sixth and across to Main.

No matter what men may do for the city in the way of railroads, schools and churches, if they rent their property for such purposes as the establishment of saloons, or loan their money for the same purpose, they are enemies to this community to that degree. God will hold them responsible for the manner in which their property is used, aud their money disposed of.

Those who engage in the wholesale liquor trade are also responsible, as are those who raise corn for the especial purpose of making it into liquors, as the speaker learned recently some farmers did the last season. Those who do not use all the power they b&ve to stop it, are responsible.

Good templars put too much stress on the passage of the prohibitory laws. They say "give us a better law." The speaker insisted that the law was very good at present if enforced here as in other portions of the State. Men are wanted behind the laws we have who will enforce them.

The above is a mere outline of the very excelleht lecture, hurriedly made from our fuller report. The speaker made many other forcible points, all of which were supported by similes, iucidents and authorities of too great length for the columns of the GAZETTE to-day. The services of the evening closed with prayer, music from the choir, and a benediction.

NO CARDS.

Groom Stands Treat.

The Evansville Journal is responsible for the following, which reads to the effect that "Robert Taylor and Maria Basket were invited to attend their own wedding yesterday, they having neglected the formalities before forming an alliance in the nature of a martial uuion. The pair made the more haste to accept the invitation, asitemauated from the Grand Jury. They therefore obtained a license and consulted Justice McTernan. The Grand Jury happened along about the time the ceremony took place, and congratulated the pair, Maria blushing and giggling as she stuffed the corner of her slop bonnet curtain into her mouth. The ceremony was very simple. The Justice said: "You take this woman to be your wife?" "Yes, Boss," answered Taylor. "You take this man tc be your husband?" "Yes." "Then I pronounce you legally married. Kiss your wife, aud thank God you've got her." "I do that, Boss, an' I thauk this great Gran' Jury, an' I'm gwineio treat the whole lot and the august body adjourned to Louis Ebert's, and "wet down" the wedding.

The above might reasonably be objected by some sensitive lovers, who think they have a right to invite to their nuptials whosoever they choose, and exclude whoever they wish, not excepting the Grand Jury of the county. In this age of easy divorces, however, it is well to have at least 12 witnesses present, and we know of none more competent than Grand Jurors.

CRACKERS HAVE "RIZ."—Thesaloons, many of them, were open yesterday, but refuses to sell any liquor. They have two sizes of crackers, which they sell at five and fifteen cents. Persons purchasing a small one, at five cents, are entitled to a glass of beer to wash it down. If they pre fer a larger one, at fifteen cents, they are entitled to a whisky cocktail, or other "concoction," as they may choose, Crackers have "riz."

No CARDS.—A barber-ous war savagely waged in the wash-room of a prominent city hotel, this noon, in which a former insurance agent of this city took a spittoon in on the fly, hurled from the unerring band of a prominent barber, which disfigured a very handsome physiognomy. When we arrived at the scene of the tragedy the dead and wounded had been carried off by their friends and the blood was being ex-sponged. No cards

THERE was quite a revival interest manifested at the Asbury M. E. Church last evening, at the close of the sermon by the pastor, by invitation, quite a number presented themselves at the altar for prayers, some of whom made profession of faith in Christ. A young peoples meeting is conducted at this church at a quarter before six each Sabbath evening, by W. H. Bannister. It is public and is largely attended.

A VALUABLE ACQUISITION.—AS an evidence of the thrift aud enterprise of the Indianapolis Journal under its present management, they have secured the services of Mr. W. B. Vickers, late editor and proprietor of the Mirror, as city editor. Mr. Vickers is well known as one of the raciest writers in the State, and a most pleasant and genial gentleman in addition to his many other good qualities of mind and heart. Success to the pf\per and itsjnew and valuable acquisition.

have, received the St. Louis Ladies1 Magazine for December, a literary, art and fashion, publication of the highest order aud merit. It is owned and edited by Mrs. M. L. Johnson, a lady who is meritoriously winning for herself not only the position of editor aud proprietor of one of the ablest magazines of the day, but is winning for her excellent publication, thousands of readers in all parts of the country, though the work has been published but a few weeks. The matter which the publication contains is only equalled by the neatness of the general typography of the work. Some of the leading literateurs of.the country contribute to its columns. It can be secured at Dooley's Opera House Book Store. Go and secure a copy.

DRAMATIC AND MUSICAL.

Nilsson in Italian Opera January 22d. The Terre Haute Dramatic Club at the Opera House Christmas night.

Janauschek, queen of tragedy, will also appear at the Opera House again next spring.

Jefferson and Booth are coming to Terre Haute in April. Let lovers of fine comedy and high tragedy prepare for a feast.

Jenny Lind's husband, Mr. Otto Goldschmidt, announces that he will bring libel suits against all American newspapers which have called hiiQ a spendthrift and charged him with having squandered the fortune of his wife. 'Phat Boy," agent and manager of the McEvoy Hibernicon, is in the city, making arrangements for the appearance of that interesting, beautiful and historic panorama at Dowling Hall on the evenings of the 18th and 19th |inst. He would have been here sooner but was waiting for printing to come from Rochester, N. Y., which didn't come at last, and in consequence, the GAZETTE job rooms did him better printing than would have been done in Rochester.

The Indianapolis Journal says "Mr. Wm. H. Leake and Miss Annie Waite left for

Boston Saturday evening, where

they play a thirty days' engagement. From thence they visit New York, Philadelphia and Pittsburg, and expect to be absent about three months. Mr. Leake and lady are well and favorably known here, especially the latter, who is a popular favorite."

Mr. W. L. Lockeyer, of New York, agent for Booth's Theater, was in the city yesterday, and has secured the grand Opera House for sometime in April, when Mr. Booth will appear thereat in tragedy and Mr. Jefferson in Rip Van Winkle. This will be good news to our tragedy and comedy-loving amusement patrons, for the gentlemen named above are at the head of their profession in their respective roles, as is well kuown.

RAILROAD MATTERS.

Can't we have an up-town ticket office? A Union Depot is badly needed here, and long has been.

See corrected time table in another column of the Evening GAZETTE. It is a table that can be read, and is reliable.

Work is progressidg on the shops and round house of the E., T. H. & C. R. R., now in process of construction northeast of the city. The same of the new I. & St. L. depot.

On several of oar best managed railways electricity is rapidly taking the place of human watchfulness and the ordinary operations of machinery as a safeguard against danger. It is reliable and as to speed is as progressive as the age.

A suit is now in progress at Omaha, between the Union Pacific Railroad and Thomas C. Dnrant, to compel the latter to deliver to the railroad company about £1,000,000 worth of property deeded to him in trust for the railroad oompany, in 1858 and l&5t r* S,

LONDON, December 11.-8:15 A. M.— The bulletin from Sardingbam, this hour, states that the Prince passed a restless night, and but little relief from sleep.

The ten o'clock bulletin states that the Prince's condition continues precarious and almost hopeless.

In view of bis imminent death the difficulties which in that event will arise regarding the succession, are widely discussed in political circles. Rumors current sometime ago to the effect that the Queen intended to abdicate, are now reviewed. Tbe prospective change in the head of the Government is canvassed everywhere.

In the event of the Queen's abdication on the Prince's death, a Regent will probably be appointed until the heir Albert Victor, the Prince's son, eight years old, has attained the majority. The choice for Regent would be between the Duke of Edinburgh, the Prince's brother, and the Duke of Cambridge, the Queen's cousin.

The Duke of Edinburg is very popular with the masses, but would probably greatly favor the

Duke

of Cambridge,who

would receive the support of a majority of the nobility, and would doubtless be selected by parliament in consequence of his age and superior experience.

These and similar topics agitate the city and political circles. The Princes death is looked for with increasing interest.

WASHINGTON, December 11.—It is estimated that two hundred and fifty thousand dollars will be required to pay the expenses of the treaty of Washington at Geneva for one year. Four hundred and seventy thousand dollars have already been expended.

Congress will be asked to appropriate ,000 to complete the census returns. Pleasanton's friends say his case came up to-day in the Executive session today, and are saguine of favorable results. Douglass' friends are also confident he will be confirmed to-day, without much difficulty.

Sumner declined to serve on the Committee of Elections as Chairman. The House of Representatives Committee on the General Amnesty bill, reported favorably.

Sumner introduced a bill reducing taxation and making the whisky tax 80c per gallon.

NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—The Times' London special says The condition of the Prince continues to be dangerous aud alarming, and worse fears are entertained. The bulletins issued are so guarded that they afford no relief to the public, and it is believed the patient is really worse 'than represented. Feelings of genuine sorrow pravail in sooiety.

NEW YORK, December 11.—The Herald's special from London, December 11, states that a tremendous excitement prevailed in Madrid on the receipt of President Grant's message to Congress, so far as relating to Cuban difficulty and expressing firm attitude of the United States Government on the question. Spanish reinforcements to the extent of 4,000 troops, under two Generals, with four naval iron-clads, will be dispatched to Cuba immediately. The sensation is wide-spread.

NEW YORK, Dec., 11.—The Helald's special from Matamoras, Mexico, December 10th, states that Sattillo, with Government troops, arms and amunition, has surrendered unconditionally. Everything is now orderly and quiet. The municipal election held to-day, the 10th, shows a large anti-Jaurez majority. The insurgents enounter little or no opposition.

NEW YORK, Dec. 8.—A party of nine men, while engaged in a general fracas on the corner of Harrison and Washington streets with knives drawn and freely used, several officers appeared on the scene and arrested the whole party, several of whom were severely wounded. Patrick and John O'Donnell were both dangerously stabbed in the back. Their wounds were dressed, but will probably terminate fatally. The whole party were held for trial.

Rev. Dr. E. Y. Higbe, of Trinity Chapel, aged 70 years, was found dead in his room yesterday. He went to bed yesterday in apparent good health, and was found by his servant laying with his face on the floor, life being extinct.

NEW YORK, December 11.—The Tribune's Washington special states that Secretary Fish it is reported has withdrawn his resignation, placed in the hands of the President on Tuesday last. The feeling now is that if Mr. Fish can be induced to hold on a little longer, some other man who will be more acceptable than Judge Pierrepont will be found for the place. Another man to whom the place has been offered, informally at least, is G. W. Curtis, and Secretary Boutwell's name is now mentioned.

It is safe to predict, says the Tribune, that the President can find some one more acceptable of the Senators' ideas than Judge Pierrepont. It la believed too

*",-K

that no more letters will be written by the Senators begging Secretary Fish to remain. Now that no immediate change is probably in the head of that Department, the pressure on the Government for a change in the West India policy of the United States will be greatly increased. The Tribune is also authority for the statement that efforts to reconcile the presentdisaffected Republican Senators have been finally abandoned.

The Times' special from Washington says Senator Trumbull will call up the resolution for the revival of the retrenchment law and urge that the Senate Committee, to be composed of four Senators and seven members of the House, be instructed to inquire into the expenditures, what offices can be abolished, what salaries and allowances be reduced, whether moneys are legally paid, and generally investigate and reform the civil service. It is doubtful if the report of the Committee will be received, as the proposal was voted down in a recent caucus.

NEW YORK, December 11.—TheSouthern Claims Committee will give a report to the House of a list of five hundred claims, on which their payment is recommended, which will amount to nearly three-quarters of a million dollars. The Committee still have ten thousand claims on file that will amount to twen ty-five million dollars.

The Secretary of the Treasury, in view of the recent defalcations in his depart ment, orders a thorough investigation of all cash accounts by a committee of three bankers.

CHICAGO, Dec. 10.—In the case of Honora Sweeney,administratrix of the estate Michael Sweeney, against the Chicago Northwestern Railway Company, a verdict of one thousand dollars was returned. It

R., and was engaged in repairing the track of that road near the point where in connects with the defendant's road, by what is know as the Galena Y, when owing to the uegligeuceof the defeudent's servants, he was run over by a locomotive and killed.

HANNIBAL, MO., Dec. 11.—A fire occurred here this morning destroying property to the amount of $50,000, upon which there was about $24,000 insurance. The following are the losses: Mrs. Brook's, milliner, $5,000, insured Southard & Waller, loss $10,000, insured for $4,000 Crosby, milliner, loss 12,000, insured for 1,000 Streeter, photographer, fully insured M. C. Daniels, confectioner, total loss Jos. Harris, clothing, partially insured. A large number of families living in the upper part of the buildings lost eveytbing. The fire originated by a lodger trying to start afire with kerosene.

NEWTON BOOTH was inaugurated Governor of California with imposing ceremonies Saturday. The inaugural address took strong grounds in favor of legislative action lor reducing and regulating the fares of the Pacific Railroad the repeal of the law permitting counties to give five percent, subsidies to railroads for the admission of colored children to the public schools for Congressional action to restrain Chinese immigration, but giving to Chinese full protection from mob violence, and the rignt to testify in Courts.

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR, And the campaign will, in all probability, be as exciting as any that has transpsred since the outbreak of the late war. THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE will uphold and defend the principles of the Republican party with its accustomed vigor and earnestness. Our platform consists of:

Equal and exact justice, at the ballot-box and before the law, to all men, without distinction of race or color.

Amnesty for all political offences connected with the rebellion. A tariff for public revenue only.

Preservation of the public lauds for actual settlers under the Homestead and Pre-emption laws.

Opposition to monopolies of every description, and to corruption lu every farm. Such reform of the civil service as shall make men and fitness, instead of partsan zeal or personal favoritism, the test of perferment to Federal offices.

Our readers, and the public generally, are so well acquainted with the tone and quality oi THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE, that we need not enlarge upon that subject. Near the close of the 25th year of our existence as a pnblic journal we had the misfortune, in common with a large mnjosity of the business community of Chicago, to be burned out, losing thereby tlio most commodious newspaper building in the United States, and being deprived, temporarily, of the use of our extensive printing machinery. We have commenced rebuilding our ruined edifice on a more enduring plan than before, and we have effected arrangements for the use of machinery which practically gives us the same facilities that we possessed before tne fire. Upon occupation of our new building and machinery THE TRIBUNE will be issued as an octavo, and contain eight pages of reading matter.

THE WEEKLY TRIBUNE will be published regularly as heretofore eacn Wednesday upon tbe following

THE NEW YORK TIMES.

Daily, Weekly and Semi-Weekly.

This Journal is now thoroughly Identified with the greatest political necessity of the hour —unobmpromising warfare against all forms of corruption, whether in national or local government. For years past the TIMES has been exposing the demoralizing schemes of self-in-terested politicians, and Its recent warfare upon the Tammany Democrats has been received with universal approval. It has adhered to the pledge given in its original prospectus, more/ than twenty years age, that the public should be truly represented, and their interests faithfully guarded through its columns. Its record has been pure and honorable, and the highest aim of its proprietors is to render it more and more worthy of its past history, and of the confidence which the public repose in it. Two out of three of the original proprietors still direct its policy, and guide it on all public questions. They propose that the TIMES shall continue to keep clear of all narrow and unworthy influences and cliques, and aim to represent the great body of the public, as distinguished from personal factions. It occupies a perfectly independent position, and is free to speak the truth on all subfects and about all men. Its greatly increased circulation throughout the oountry adds to its power and influence. It will continue to be a faithful exponent of Republican principles, and advocate with untiring energy every cause which tends to further the welfare of the people.

The utmost care will be devoted to gathering political news from special sources during the Presidential canvass. This department of the paper will be annsually full and trustworthy. Renewed enterprise will be exhibited in everydepartment of the paper, and large space will be devoted to reports of speeches made during elections, or on other Important political occasions.

A very full summary of news, and many general articles of great interest, are published in the Semi-Weekly editions and in the Weekly edition there is an unabridged report of the proceedings ot the Farmers' Club, an excellent summary of political information, and a great variety of matter suita le for family reading.

The NEW YORK TIMES is pre-eminently a family paper, all objectionable advertisements being rigidly excluded audit has a constantly increasing circulation among the most respect

able

classes of the community.
