A well known temperance orkersays: "Ionceexamined the inmates of the Christian Home for intemperate men, in New York City. as to the way they reached the last ditch of drunkeness, and 80 per cent told me that they began with beer. Only 20 per cent began with Horn. The memory of the oldest inhabitant fails to recall such a group of scandals, great and small as have developed in connection with the government's management of the Spanish-American War.

The unseemly controversy between the Secretary of War and the Commanding General, the Schley-Sampson wrangle, the embalmed beef difficulty, the sweat-shop revelation, and the general scramble for honors and would indicate that the men at the top were concerned quite as much about personal matters as the welfare of the country. -The Lever. The most remarkable step taken in the cause of temperance during this administration, was the recent order of Secretary Long prohibiting the sale or use of liquor in the navy, except for strictly medicinal purposes.
