In the course of sensible article on the
subject of temperance, the Gardiner Home
Journal says:
eff temperance men will be consistent, they
must show their faith by their works. They
must let publishers know that they will not
encourage an advocacy of rum; and take pa
pers, if any can be had, whose tone is in fav-
or of temperance rather than against it. If
this were done, the list of the readers of the
Boston Herald and Journal would greatly
drop off in this city, and those of the Lewis

ton Journal and Augusta Journal would in
the same proportion increase, for both of the
latter are right in general on the question of
temperance. However, men may differ as to
legal political measures in regard to temper
ance, in this matter of temperance literature
they should be all agreed and should give
their support to those publications that come
nearest to their ideas of the right"

Republican Campaign in Ohio,

Sandusky, o., "a. Secretary Delano
opened the republican campaign in this city
to-day. in a speech devoted to an exposition
of the work of the present administration in
the way of collecting revenue, and reducing
taxation, and in the course of which strik-
ing contrast was drawn of what was done
under Johnsons administration. The pres
ent administration found the public credit
impoverished by dishonesty and incapacity
which pervaded public service, the public
debt rather increasing than diminishing, with
reduction of receipts from internal taxes
How was the failing credit of the government
to be repaired? Its current expenses met and
reduced in the face of discouraging condi-
ton? This serious and embarrassing ques-
ton could only be solved by an energetic en-
forcement of the laws and faithful applica-
ton of the monies collected to the public
liabilities. 1t was done during the first IL
months of the administration. The receipts
from internal revenue were $l77,45l 1913,
and during the first fiscal year $lS5 ,235, 1854 ),
notwithstanding the reduction of the amount
of receipts from internal revenue sources.
On this basis there would have been $685.

HYPocHoNDRIAsIs is one of the most diff
cult to treat successfully of all nervous
diseases. Reasoning with nervous or hypo-
chondriacal and insane persons rarely proves
serviceable. The mind cannot be overcome
while the nervous system is irritable. In
many instances, the derisive laugh at the I'M
fortunate or the more temperate appeal to the
reason is absolutely injurious, by exciting
further irritation in the mind of the sufferer,
who thinks his advisers either unfeelng or
incredulous towards his complaint. Under
the use of Fellows COMPOUND SYRUP OF
llYrorHosrHlrEs there is no longer necessity
for resorting to such treatment.

RenfOrth's Death.


st. John, n. b., 20. Further details of
the boat race state that Renforth after being
conveyed to hotel and put to bed, rallied
for few moments, and was able to speak
few words. Violent pains ensued with
discharge of blood mucous water from the
mouth and severe purging.
The Feeling Upon Renforth's Death.
The announcement of Renforth's death fell
like thunder bolt in Halifax, causing intense
excitement. The second Tyne crew say that
Renforth should not have rowed, as he was
subject to fainting fits under excitement. No
further enters have been made for any of the
contests, and the programme for the present
is disarranged. In anticipation of the advent
of suspicious characters, fifty special police
men have been sworn in, to commence duty
Tuesday.
He continued to grow worse until half-past
s, when he died in considerable agony. The
symptoms of Renforth's disease faint strongly
to the operation of drug, but no suspicion
is attached to the St. John crew. If foul play
has taken place it must have been at the
hands of outsiders. 1t is thought, however,
that there is no grounds for suspicion of foul
play as Renforth was seized with a fit and
temporarily Frustrated at the Lochine race,
but that affair was hushed up. The Coroner
is now holding an inquest and a searching en-
quiry is being instituted,
