Observation-Disclosures I bav

Observation-Disclosures l have
wandered in my missionary labors,
whether in the East, West. North or
South, | have always observed that
where the newspaper was taken by
the family there thrift, morality, and
general intelligence were to be- found.
In the log cabins of the West, as
soon as my eye caught sight of the
newspaper l thought to myself,
'Here, at least, will find morality,
intelligence, courtesy, and welcome,
as u garden ripe to receive the Cos
pei seed!" and l was seldom mista-
ken. On the contrary, where Meth
er newspapers nor good books were
to be seen, their ignorance, bigotry,
superstition and grossness were
found in all their forms. Yes, I have
often thought that the newspaper
was the pioneer of civilization, and
did much to make the way easy for
the successful labors of the home mis-
slonary.-Lorenso Do,p.

Telegraphic Summary.

Gov. Claf1in is reelected Governor
in Massachusetts, by a plurality of
from 10000 to $4,000. 167 Towns
and Cities give the following MAORI
ties. Claflin, 11,519, Adams, 5,7O7,
Chamberlain, 1920.
The Legislature is claimed by both
prohibitionists and license men. 1t
is probably pretty noarly equally d.
vided on the liquor question, and the
Republicans have q strong majority
in each branch.
Tho Democrats have probably
elected their State ticket in N. Y. by
from 10000 to $1,000 majority. The
State Senate is doubtful but probably
Republican by two or three majority.
The Tribune estimates that State
gone Democratic by $4,000.
Returns from seventy cities and
towns in different parts of the State
show net Republican gain of II, 900
on the vote of 1867, when the Repub
licans had majority of 4,764. The
Republican State Central Committee
estimates Fairchild's majority at
about 5000, with the Legislature
about the same complexion as las
year.
Thirty-four towns in Minnesota
give Austin, Republican, 1923, Otis,
Democrat, 1869. There are so many
splits in the city and county ticket it
is impossible to give the vote of ST.
Paul. Austin's majority in the State
is estimated at 5000 to 1000.
Thirty-seven towns in Minnesota
give Otis, (Dem.) 26O majority.
Baltimore (Md.) has gone about

Very True.

lion. VIM. E. Chandler, Secretary
OF the Republican National Commit
tee, and late Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury, writes from Washing
ton to the Concord Statesman the
following very accul ate reSunae of the
elections of 1869:
"The tonacity and strength of the
Republican party, as proved by the
elections Of 1869, are truly remark
able, Although the party has re-
cord for patriotism, for devotion to
high and holy principles, and for
bold and uncompromising advocacy
OF them, never equaled before in the
history of parties, which entities it
to the confidence and support Of the
people Tor years to come, yet it has
had to contend with many disadvan.
tases and dangers which would have
broken down a party less noble and
patriotic. 1t has distributed more
patronage in seven years than had

fore, disappointing in its distribution
thousands and tens of thousands Of
active partisans. 1t has sustained
and carried on bloody war which
involved thousands of lives and i'm
posed upon the country thousands OF
millions of public debt. 1t has
maintained the plighted faith of the
nation to pay that debt, principal
and interest, in gold, although the
currency of the country has been
and is Largely deprecated. 1t has

cd citizen in every State. Thus
weighted" it would not have been
strange if the Republican party, al.
though fully achieving it's great pur.
poses, had persisted, exhausted in
their accomplishment. But by rea-
son of devotion, courage and energy,
the party has succeeded in all it's
measures, and to-day remains in full
power in the country. Its prospects
for carrying the next Congressional
elections, and also the next Presiden-
tial election, are brighter than at any
similar stage since the first election
of Mr.. Lincoln.

The Washington correspondent of
the Now York Times, gives the fol-
lowing pen picture of the present ad-
ministration
"Thcvc never was an ad,ninistra-
ton so completely independent of
control by persons of influence" as
the present. There was nevera time,
probably, when the executive man.
sion was so free from hangers-on and
kitchen cabinet arrangements gener-
ally. After o'clock In the after.
noon the building assumes oil the ap
pearance of private residence. The
President refuses to see callers on
business in the evening. The people
who do pay their respects spend
the evening IN the private parlor
with the President and Mrs. Grant:
and the intercourse on such occasions
is never allowed toapproach business,
save when some public necessity
brings proper representative of
the departments, or of Congress, with
a mission, the Importance of which
the President himself fully recog-
nizes. Apure atmosphere, inspiring
a conviction of honesty and truth,
prevails at the White House; and
only those who know what contain
ination prevailed under the previous
occupant can fully appreciate the
change. Never was a president
more free to do what is best for the
country and the people at large; and
never was a president apparently
more determined to perform that
duty"
Ths people are fully ready to be-
lievc that the above is entirely cor.
rect. Though very few comparative.
lyof the American people have the
opportunity of applying their own
personal knowledge, from actual OBJ
servation at Washington, to deter
mine the character of the admins
tration; still the acts of President
Grant in the collection of tho reve-
nue., and in the appointment Of. his
Cabinet, and finally, in all things,
show Enthusiastically his integrity OF
purpose, and his independence of the
politician, and hence the people in.

The novel question, whether
sweet potatoes are fruit or grain was
recently discussed in the Internal
Revenue office. The question came
up from Virginia, whore these pota-
toes are being used to manufacture
whisky. If they were regarded as
fruit, the product of distillation by
small factors would be exempt. It
held to be grain, the full tax would
be due. The Commissioner decided
that, for the purpose of distillation,
the vegetable was grain.

cranberries. He had four acres un-

$50 bushels. These he sold al the
rate of So SO per bushel, the total
proceeds of the four acres amounting

quite probable that the marshes in
the vicinity of the lake can be made
