The Journal, a few days since, poured
out column, more or less, OF abuse upon
the head OF Hon. David Gore, lndepend-
ent Reform candidate for State Treasurer.
Sitting the allegations from the abuse. they
are simply that he was member of the
Macoupin county court house ring, and that
he is Tor wasl a copperhead.
MIR. Gore Is running as the candidate Of
another party than that which the Reg,sierI
supports, but we propose TO assist in see
ing that he has fair play. and therefore, we
state emphatically that Mr.. Gore was op-
posed, first, last and all the time, to the
court house swlndle, and that the court
house ring in Macoupin county worked
very hard against him when he ran for
Sheriff IN that county in 1870 II the
journal Is anxious TO know who is rcspon.
sible Tor the swindle, it will find the in.

1869. The people OF the county had. pre-

The State Liquor Law.

: On the l4th day of July, 1878, Thomas
Adds went TO saloon in Nation, Coles
county, in this State, owned by Maurice Em-
ory, and obtained drink of whisky Dur
ing the afternoon he drank several times at
Emory's and at other saloons, and became
very drunk. He refused to be led home,
and hung round the saloons until after
dark. The next morning ais mangled re-
mains were found on a railroad track, the
train having passed over him. He was a
plasterer by trade, and with his earnings
supported wife and three children. The
widow brought suit against Emory and two
other saloon keepers, under the law of
1872, for having contributed to deprive her
of her means of support, and In Octo-
Der, 1873, she recovered verdict against
Emory for $1,000. The case was appealed
to the Supreme Court, and that Court has
affirmed the verdict, and the law under
which it was given The Court held that
the verdict was fully sustained by the evil
dence the liquor sold him was the prim-
airy cause of his death the evidence was
that by his death the wife was deprived Of
her only means Of support The opinion,
which was delivered by Judge Scott, seems
to have been unanimous, and thus con

MYSTERIOUS TIDES OF THE North POLAR
OCEAN The late testimony of the Polarls sur
vivors brings to light for the first time what is,
perhaps, the most important contribution yet
made to Arctic geography. DR.. Bessels evi-
deuce established, from his own observations,
the remarkable fact that the tidal wave near
Cape Hatberton, on the northwest coast Of
Greenland, comes from the Pacific Ocean. At
Newman Bay, near the Polar outlet of Smith
Sound, and at an extremely high latitude, the
tide rose always before it did at Polaris Bay,
further south; while, still further south, at Lit
tle,ou Island instead Of coming from the north
ward, the tide comes from the south, and hence
is Atlantic born. This astonishing discovery
throws more light over the physical geography
of the North Polar area than all else yet an
nouoced The tidal wave is. SO to speak, the
pulse of the sea, aud enables the scientist to
make many accurate deductions.-N. 7. Her.
