The "Local Optionist' in Pennsyl-
vania appear to have been worsted at the
election lately held in that State to confirm
or reject the g Local Option" law passed by
the legislature and submitted to the people.
Allegheny, Berks, Bucks, Carbon, Leb-
anon, Montgomery and Northampton coun-
ties have voted for license by large major
tiles. Chester, Delaware and Montour
counties have voted against licenee.
The Philadelphia Press sermonises thusly
on the result:
"There are on the statute books of Penn
sylvania laws of sufficient stringency to reg
ulate the sale of liquor and abate the evils
Of intemperance. But the great trouble
is that what are called Jealous temperance
men will not interest themselves in having
these laws enforced; that they-will not
undertake, in the proper legal manner, the
prosecution of those who violate the law in
the traffic in liquor. Suppose, for instance,
that in every city and county the temper
ance men raised sum of money to fee an
attorney of reliability and force, whose
business it would be to contest every appli-
cation for license where the facts justified
an opposition. Such an attorney would,
if faithful to clients, gather all the facts
bearing upon every applicant for license,
and, with his corrobOrative testimony in
hand. could prevent the granting of seven
out Of every ten licenses now granted, SIM
ply because the courts are ever ready to hear
and act upon the matter. AS the custom
now is in the rural districts and inland
cities, thse seeking license employ the most
expert attorneys, and they are successful
simply becase there is no one to contest
their applications, and thus the towns, bor-
oughs, and cities of the interior are crowded
with resorts for selling liquor, where the
laws are violated with impunity, where the
brightest hopes of good men are forever
crushed, where love of home is stifled,
honor blurred, and souls hurried on to
damnation daily, and yet the temperance
men of such localities content themselves
with singing cold-water psalms and ha-
rangulng each other i'll secret societies, re-
garding the practical labor to which we
refer as not of their persuasion. Gentle
men, the world is never moved by words.
You must resort to deeds if you desire to
accomplish results which will please Heav-
Ell and benefit the fallen and depraved"
This Is very plausible, but there are
abundant facts on record to prove that by
such means the evils of intemperance will
never be lessened. Is it right for the State
to license an industry which is productive
of nothing but death? This is the naked
question now calling for an answer

KEEP ACcouNTs.-Farmers who do not
keep accounts are like ship at sea with
out compass: they know not whittier they
are drifting. Accurate accounts should be
kept of every article sold and purchased.
They are not only valuable to keep you
posted as to your standing, but are val
liable to refer to in the future. We too often
deceive ourselves by guessing that things
are all right without knowing to a certain
ty. Our farm accounts not only enable
us to deal fairly and honestly. but they Sc
cure to the farmer his just dues. and very
often save lawsuits and trouble; and they
show you wehre you have spent your
money unnecessarily and where you can
economic in the future. They also make
the farmer more careful, neat, thorough,
thinking and successful.
1t is very little trouble to keep &C
counts; indeed it ought to be pleasure.

and commence at once, and you will he as
tonished at the change it will make in your
business affairs.-Germanto~ TelegrapA
