My Boy DRUNK ,-e-" Drunk! my
boy drunk!" and tears started to the
mothers eyes, and she bent her head
lnunutterable sorrow, In that moment
the visions of a useful and honorable
career were destroyed, and one of
worthlessness, if notahsolute dishonor,
presented itself. Well did she know
that intemperanee walks hand in hand
with poverty, shame and death,
and his mothers heart was pierced
as with a sharp pointed steel. All !!

It will be remembered that the CO.
alition Republican Senators of the last
Legislature declared tilat their trade
with the Democrats had no other OBJ
.iect than the repeal of the obnoxious
election, registration and constabulary
laws. When it was subsequently pro-
posed to consummate the desire of the
eoalitionists by repeating these laws
even Senator Ingraham declined to
favor the proposal as he thought there
was need for just such a law. He
was willing TO denounce the Governor
as despot for enforcing the law, but
he was unwilling to repeal the law
that made it the Governors duty to
do things that are denounced as des-
potie.-StGte Register.
