The Contemporary Butte Miner: Bartow advances reoorda and figures to prove that polygamy la Che result of economics, not sentiment or passion, and that it may never fee universal, Impossible because economically throughout the major portion of the world. Except In a few sections, the proportion of men end women Is almost equal. Polygamy, to become general would. Imply gnat reductions among the males. It prevailed among tyifearoiie tribes, rimply becAse war thinned the mule ranks and the eup-po- rt of the superfluous female depended open the polygamous 'system. Polygamy could not exist In the civilised world. In the Ceuenrian noun-trie- s than are 1M man and hoys to 101 women and girls In the British empire, the ratio la SI to SC; lu the United States, 14 to It, the difference being aocounted for by the vast number of single Immigrants; throughout the continent of Europe, the ratio of 10S to 101 prevails; la Mexico and Boath America, It le 177 to 174. In one of these countries could polygamy flourish. In India, the male sad female babes ere about In numbers, but o large per cent of the girls are olalu at birth. Only 4 per cent of the Hindoos nr polygamlstsaad theft wives often are drawn from the wild people to the north and west, where ceseeleas guerrilla warfare thine the males. In polygamy, ns In other practices commonly held sinful, unbiased Investigation usually finds more to deplore thou to condemn. Restore the conditions prevailing when polygamy was the practice In the Caucaalau world and polygamy win return. Sentiment and religion rarely stand before human neesselty, for the religion and Matlment that deny the race ite necessities must be held false. DRINKING Allow me to explain myself. The sensible men among us who, from time to time, slip a cog or Jump the track, do not question the sincerity or the honest hop of these people for our reformation. We simply are peo uaded that they do not understand us, nor rite nature of eur weakness or. let us roll It disease. When a maa rises In s meeting of Intelligent men. who are assembled te dlacues some subject Involving expert knowledge, and shews from hi remarks that he has no practical information to give to the meeting, thoee listening te him may not impugn the eiaoertiy of hl intentions, but they will hove their own opinion of hia good or common man. A man who Intends to bid on a timber limit will cither explore the limit himself r send an expert buch negcr to do It for him. If a beach f the ablest Judges In America watted upon him the sum of thetr accumulated wisdom to assist him ii his contemplated purchase their advise would fibre no inflitenoe upon hie decision. He will be governed la his action by hit own knowledge of the limit or fey the report of hia ranger. Now you understand why sermons, lecture and essays on temperance carry no weight with us. Wo have explored the limit" and we know It ell Bear with me If I appeal to your Indulgence for a further bearing. When 1 was at Dwight, taking the Keeley cure," ten years ago, 1 met there and talked with clergymen, doctors, lawyers and business men, who, like myself, were taking the baths." That were men of practical good sense, some of them or robust minds sad bodies, mem who had aucroeded la their catlings, many of them. They came hero, as I came, after repeated, heroic end manly efforts to fight It down, after falling again and again and rising again sad again. They came here covered with the garments of humiliation, carrying The scare, end a few of them their yet bleeding wounds, of Insult, of abuse, of adriee, or reprobation, of scorn and contempt to meke n despairing attempt to bid good-by- e forever to the damned stuff." These are the men whom dortora In other days called degenerates, end new any are diseased. It took the learned gentlemen elx thousand years to arrive at this mile stone of truth. These ar they whom ministers, temperance lecturers and pharasilcal old cranks of both sexes, from Immemorial time have been denouncing as Sons of Belial," Children of Malediction," and the "Accursed of God." Yrt there wee not one of these denounced men that had not time end again gone through the fires of hell. Do you keow whet aleohollo depression Is? Ask any maa of a refined nature, of a highly developed temperament and n sensitive, nervous organism who has passed through It, and fee will tell you that, like war, It to helL If your apart permitted me I eould record the terrors of the vlptlm of aloohollc depression which.

Boold a maa In this agony, abuse him, preach to him, even advise him. and In hie heart hell cure yen. Will you believe me, sir, when I assure you that I have never heard n temperance lecture or sermon, nor have I read A solitary article on worth the time spent In their preparation, and for thirty years I have been a good listener and a hard reader. I say this la all charity and seriousness, end J am satisfied that If you open your column to men like myself, who have gone through It all they will confirm my statement and, from their own experience, agree with me. When n man has gone through what I, and men like me, have gone through and touches whiskey again, you aay he's u fool." Right hera to whera you and the dtopomanlae part At once, you place him outside the pale of sensible men and at once he to satisfied you do not undenland hia caae or his disease. For ten years I have not touched n drop of liquor, yet I know that I am like n man compelled to walk, of a dark night, an the edge of a precipice, when one careless atop may precipitate him Into the DONALD RHDE. abyss.

Seriee of Sermons Upon the Bible Wee Continued Before Large Congregation. The aeries of evening oormoae upon the Bible woe continued last evening to the First Freefeytertan church. Mtoe Edith Corey ployed Rubeutolno melody la "F" for the offertory. Rev. Carver said la part: We take pride today fat thinking that wa art tea greatest of peoples and that wo live in an ago of the greatest arhlcvement. but yet historians foil us that Babylon had most remarkable record both la pro greaa and achievement and one to be envied by ns. Ah Effekiei wee the chief writer of the prophecy of Tyre because he wee more associated with it, so Jeremiah wrote the prophecy concerning Babylon because he wee associated with that land. Among the Bible worthlea or the worldo brave men, truly great Jeremiah woo worthy of n plaoe. He woe colled to be o prophet lu early youth, and during forty-on- e years of deepest trials of his nation, troubled by infidelity si homo, end daring the eaptlvlty of hto nation ho remained true to God. Men of hto own community threatened to MU him If ho did not give up hie worship and terries but ho would not giro up. Ho was put In stocks, put In prison, put In s dungeon end was about to be put to death, but was rotooaed end compelled to flea Into Egypt Wo look tonight at the prophecies concerning Babylon. Isaiah, Habato knk end others also prophesied the fell of this city. Thla prophecy concerning Babylon was given , wee uttered fro 60 to 160 before Its fulfillment. TU city of Babylon wee about 600 miles due seat of Galilee and the center of a great fertile valley. Thla plain wee Watered ny the most wonderful and complete ays tern of Irrigation the world fees ever known. It we n very ancient city, dating back, the historian telle ue, to 6000 B. C, anj has Indeed baea called the cradle of tha race." It wee told out In a square, 16 miles each way and so covered 126 equare miles. Chicago, the largest city la area today, coven 174 square miles, London covers 121 equare miles. Babylon wee surrounded by n trail, the foundations of which today reveal a thickness of 1S6 feet, of which 67 ere solid Thla well towered 100 feet In the sir. On each aide were 16 gates of braes, leading Into tha 66 principal streets which traversed the city at right angles. The wall iff China, whll Its length le 1256 mile, to but 26 feet high and about 20 foot broad. Babylon was watered by tha Euphrates which flowed through the center of the city. Xcnopha tells us that this river wee on quarter of n mile wide end twelve feet deep. The banka of this river were lined with solid masonry and It was creased by draw bridges and tunneled with a tunnel 16 feet wide and II font high. In this city was the great temple, of a mile square end 106 foet high. The highest pyramid was 481 feet high, the capital at Washington Is 660 feet high, while the Washington monument to 666 feet high. Tha new Singer building alone will surpass this greet temple, It being 621 foot high, though It la but 66 feet square. In this city wag the greet palace whoso outer wills were olx miles in length. It alio contained the wonderful Hanging Gardens. The masonry of the city was composed of huge brick, one foot square and tour Inches thick; these brick were eo finely made that many of them are In good condition today, though 2700 yuan have elapsed Bines they were baked. Pure bitumen, one of the moat durable substances known, wee need for mortar. It was In Babylon that tha months and the years were first approximately determined. The hour and minutes ware there first divided into 60 portions and the circle Into 260 degrees. Here It wee that astronomy as a acionco bad Its rise; here weights and measures and hsrs Iron was first melted, glass was first diacovsred end the composition of brass sud femes first brought out It wss this city that Isaiah, 180 yean before It ooourred foretold the method of Ite capture ee well as the seme of lie conqueror. He bed prophesied that this great city should be token without a flares et niggle. Its gates should be found open, suddenly the people of Babylon should find the enemy within their city and runners should hasten from one portion of the city to the other proclaiming Its downfall. He foretold that Cyrus should be the one to Seed this victorious army, 120 years before Cyrus was born and ho said that he ahoiiUl come from the northern kingdom. How this was accomplished la beat told by the historians of the period. Daniel glvee also n most complete account of It Cyrus had waged a fierce battle in the northern part of the country and had been victorious but the people had retreated within the city walla He well knew the strength of these wells, that they were Impregnable, so bo resolved to tako the city by strategy. He knew that a feast we soon to be celebrated and It wee the custom of the people to give themselves over to feasting and pleasure. Cyrus welted for the feteful night when the whole populace wee engaged In drinking and reveling, then silently la the deed of night turned the waters of tho river Euphrates from their course, then marched with bis men across the dry river bed, found the gates of the palace open, end with but little resistance he entered the Palace: until morning a most terrible massacre ensued, then Cyrus found himself the undisputed master. Thus even to ths smalleet detail we the prophetic uttering fulfilled. More wonderful even were the prophecies eon earning the citys destruction. Jeremiah said. "B. shall become heaps, a place without Inhabitant. Isatoh says, "It shall never be Inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt In from generation to generation; neith AND THE RTE HARVEST OF THE NEW-MOWHAY GIVES rf A SWEET AM) WHOLESOME CPUR" te glory.
