The Temperance lleform and rrohibi
torjr Law.
THBflUOceflOofsumptu.rjrlogiHlationlnrestrain-
Jng intemperance has not been so great as to
Juatifr the hope, which some seem to enter
tain, that in it we have the great panacea
gainnt the evils which are acknowledged to flow
from the excessive use of alcoholio drinks.
In the first place, prohibitory laws are of no
avail unless sustained by public sentiment;
find the existence of a public sentiment which
frill sustain and carry out such laws, implies
a condition of moral restraint on the part of
the community at large which would go very
far of itself to check and eradicate the very
evik against which the laws are direoted. In
Other words, you have got to make a commu
nity practically a temperance community
lefore you can make a prohibitory law suo
' cessful.
Those who rely mainly, or to any very great
extent, upon prohibitory legislation, do not
, comprehend the philosophy of the evil against
Which they contend. They apparently assume
that in the sale of intoxicating drinks we have
the chief cause of their use; so that if the sale
can be stopped the evil will be eradicated. Bat
a seller implies a luyer. Men do not offer for
Sale that for which there is no demand. The
8ale of alcoholio drinks only meets an existing
demand a demand, it is true, which the
traffic may in part have assisted to produce,
liut for which it is by no means primarily re
pon8ible. Intemperance has its root in men's
appetites, and this appetite for alcoholio stimu-
' lants, whether a natural or an acquired one,
is one of the most widely diffused among the
human family. We find it ainrng all nations
and tribes. The sale of liquors is only an in
cident which, has grown up out of this wide
spread and dominating appetite. When,
therefore, reformers place their chief relianoe
upon repressing the incident, without grap
pling with the cause, they make a fatal mis
take. The moment the evil is reached in its
loot, that moment all its incidents are reached
also. It is far easier, as well as more philo
sophical, to suppress the eale of intoxioating
drinks by abolishin g their use than it is to
Suppress their use by prohibiting their sale.
The early history of the temperance reforma
tion may be studied with profit. That was
emphatically a movement for the moral educa
tion of the masses. The community was en
lightened upon the physical aud eouial evils
growing out of intemperance. Direct efforts
were made to reclaim the drunkard and to
prevent others from falling into hh condition.
The result was that the social customs of the
entire people were very much changed.
Liquors were banished, or much less widely
used. Thousands of liquor shops were closed,
not by prohibitory laws, but by the absence
Of patrons. The reformation went on and
accomplished great good. So long as the
efforts of temperance men were directed pri
marily to reaching and controlling the appe
tites of men through moral influences, involv
ing the cooperation and voluntary efforts of
those whom they were seeking to reform, they
had all the success due to so great and good a
work. But when reformers tired of this
slow process of moral education and
voluntary, self-imposed restraint, and .at
tempted to make men temperate by
law, and that law directed not against the use,
but the sale of alcoholio drinks, that moment
they abandoned their true line of work, lost
the power of those great moral influences which,
they had been so successfully wielding,
arrayed against themselves a host of new
enemies, and brought the temperanoe re
formation to a stand-still. T'or more than
twenty years the efforts of temperance reformers
have been expended in promoting sumptuary
legislation. It is time that the results of these
efforts should be carefully examined. A new
generation has grown up, comparatively nnin
Btruoted in the facts and truths which were
once relied upon to exert a restraining influ
ence upon men's appetites. It cannot be
denied -that intemperance has greatly in
creased. Drinking customs in private and
social life, which were once well-nigh
banished, are again establUhing themselves.
They are no longer taboo id by the moral
sentiment of the community. The grosser
forms of the vice are becoming more common
aud shameless. In a word, the reform has
gone backwards to almost the point whence
it first started. These are results which should
Bet serious men to thinkine, and to re-examin
ing the whole subject. That Borne error has
been committed is obvious. What is it f To
our own mind, it seems clear that a funda

a wrong field. The iucidental has usurped
the place of the fund mental. The attempt

THE DAILY EVENINQ TELEGRAM PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY,
Need of an Amateur Opera in Onr City.
Philadelphia has in times past snooeeded in
accomplishing what nearly every city of the
world has attempted and failed in. She has, oat
of her native talent, created an amateur opera
troupe, which has, without professional assist
ance, performed successfully seven, at least)
of the masterpieces of the great composers.
This triumph, over which we feel and have
before expressed Just local pride, was accom
plished under the management of the lamented
Signor Perelli. Through his exertions, the
nec ssary talent was found and educated ;
by bis prestige he succeeded iu securing a class
of i atrons which insured success from the out
set ; and finally, by his judicious training and
personal popularity, we were presented with a
season of as fine performances as we need wish
to attend. This was done without any aid
from those sources which were originally created
solely for the purpose of fostering native
tali nt. The American Academy of Music, that
institution whose name, when compared with
its actions, is astnnding joke in all circles, never
thought of lifting a linger to help him. But
in this it but preserved the unity of it3 entire
course of conduct. When it was inaugurated
we were told that, beneath its benign care, we
weie to hive home talent cultivated, and be
m.'.de independent of foreign performers. It
wt s to collect a library of musical works which
are not accessible to individuals; iu fact, it was
to be the centre of music in the United States. 1 1
wi'P, in truth, to be a model of the Conservatoire
in Paris or Milan. It has proved a miserable
failure in accomplishing its desired ends; and
if to-day we would secure any native ability,
we must look entirely to private enterprise,
and not to that institution which was ostensibly
the head and front of such a reformation.
Signor Perelli, by his individual efforts, over
came the greatest obstacles in the path of a
successful amateur opera. He collected the
material, which was a great thing, and he de
monstrated that such an undertaking was
practicable, and could be made a success.
Having proved the feasibility, and while yet
meditating greater efforts, the indomitable
Perelli was gathered to his fathers. We greatly
fear that with his premature death will come
a termination to the organization of amateur
operas. After having proved, to the sur
prise and envy of New York, which four times
made a similar attempt and failed, that the
Quaker City could supply and support an
amateur troupe, it seems hard that the death
of one man should put au end to the bright
prospects on which we were entering. We
earnestly hope that some one who enjoyed the
confidence of Perelli, and who knows all about
the needs and the minutiic of the undertaking,
will now stand up aud call around him the
members of the troupe aud proceed to arrange
for another seasou. All the material is at
hand. The voices which delighted us
eighteen months ago are still in our midst,
and are doubtless willing to do their part
again towards affording innocent pleasure to
our people. Doubtless most of the scores of
the music are within reach, and it is certain
that the old audiences stand ready and anxious
to do their part towards aiding the enterprise
both with their presence and subscriptions. AU
that is needed is a leader, some one who can
unite the elements of the old troupe, who will
be acquiesced in as the head by all, who can
manage such au attempt, and who can have
some of the old prestige of Terelli's name. We
hope that such an one can be found. We are
not sufficiently familiar with the musical
world to suggest any suitable gentleman for
the task, yet there doubtless is some one who
possesses all the qualifications we have pointed
out. If he will but appear, and the effort
stm ted, we feel assured that our best citizens
would hasten to encourage the attempt by
every means in their power.
The idea on which the plan of Signor
Parelli was founded commends itself in many
ways. It supplies a source of innocent
amusement to a class who are opposed
to attendance on general theatrical or even
operatic entertainments. No sane person
objects to the drama because of the inherent
evil of seeing persons assume characters, and
act or sing them well. It is not the natural
ill effects, but it is the surroundings, the asso
ciations, into which one is thrown by attend
ance. We do not know who may be our
neighbors, and what low character we may
meet, and be contaminated and insulted by
meeting. It is this which deter3 many who
really enjoy moat keenly the pleasure of
music, from going where that proper and
refined taste could be gratified. But
in the case of the amateur opera this
evil is avoided, and no such objection
cau be raised. By the system of subscrip
tion the attendance is made select and per
fectly respectable. AU irregularities on the
stage to which we are subjected at the pro
fessional opera are guarded against, and we
meet ladies and gentlemen listening to ladie3
nc (I gentlemen, without injury to any and
with pleasure to all. Upon tms ground alone
wo would deem the discontinuance of the
Italian opera as a real deprivation. But when
it enables us as well to show our superiority
over vaunting New York, and to maintain as a
success that w hich no other city could maintain,
we pee a double reason for making it a charac
teristic feature of our local amusements. It
proves by actual trial what we have always
declared, that the greatest cultivation and the
most sincere love of music and the arts, in any
city in America, is to be found in Philadelphia.
We can only repeat our hope that this living
evidence of our taste and talents will not die
with the death of its lamented projeotor.
Progress of the Garibuldian .Movement.
It would seem from the latest advices that, de
spite the confinement of Garibaldi, the Italian
efforts against Rome are not relaxed. The
attempt when first made was deemed a certain
failure. The Catholio organ in Louisiana, the
Vtrayune, sneered at and bitterly denounoed
the movement. It said:
"A timber and wider, and mnoh mnr anlM
they leave hie repuutlo" IwiylSabl J it rl '

emereenpy not only disposes of Garibaldi and
his would-bn Imliator, but gives a death-blow
to all anarchical aspirations In Italy."
It seems now, however, as though this judg
ment was premature. It is certain that the
war, if war it can be termed, continues, and
it maybe that it has gained sufficient headway
to become formidable. We do not, however,
anticipate any permanent success from the at
tempt, as the great powers are all of them in
terested in the protection of the Holy See from
destruction. Great interest must, however,
be felt in the result, as it was predicted at the
Cathedral, in our city, that it was not
impossible that the Holy Father might be
compelled to take up his permanent residence
in our midst.

Pattern Plates, containing from forty to lllty full-sized
patterns, applicable to every article of wardrobe
made iu the family, with the necessary directions for
cutting and making. Similar illustrations and de
scriptions of fancy work will also be furnished. These
patterns will be executed In Paris and Berlin, and
