Pleasant for Hard Drinkers

The Louisville Courier journal,
which is published in II State where
whiskcy ought to be good if anywhere,
confirms the statement that probably
nine hundred and ninety nine gallons
out Of every thousand that are sold AS
brandy is made from q vile compound
of whisky swiil, distilled spirits, and
chemical denominations, and adds:
"And it is also equally true OF whis-
Ky, and what in the name of goodness
arc we all to do for something To
drink! 1t looks as if we ARE to be
driven to the pump III spite OF us. II
the world at large knew what kind OF
,illainous stuff whisky and brandy AMI
wines are made of. the present crop OF
drunkarls would be about the last, or
at my rate, all future crops would be
small. Nearly or quite all tie liquors
that arc rctuiIed now-a-days are IN
doubtedly a slow bu: sure poison, and
TO drink thcm habitually is simply n
roundabout way of committing stllN
eide; and unless you guard yourself
carefully, the way Is not SO very
roundabout either"

Tweed and Hayes.

Humble origin in Politics.

From The Baltimore sun
The late Senator Morton. Of Indiana,
the greatest man of The Republican
party, waS apprenticcd to II halter at
the age Of fifteen, and followed the
business four years.
Andrew johnson was a tailor.
Grant, though not q statesman, was
Il tanner.
Abraham Lincoln was Il rNil-spIittcr
Willard Fillmore, when fifteen years
of age, was ap]prcnticed rs Il wool
carder and cloth. dresser.
Webster and how many others were
farmer boys?
Numbers of the most noted Of our
public men have risen from like sta
TONS to cminencG, many Of them hav-
ing been mechanics, and others deS-
cenlants Of mechanics.
Roger Sherman, Of revolutionary
fame, was a shoemaker, and the S'er-
mans Of to-day and Mr., Eyarts are his
descendants.
Mr.. Hayes snid in n Of his speech,
cs that his grandfather was Il me
chanic.
1t did not require any labor parties
or labor organizations to bring these
men to the front. Nothing obatrncts
the way of the mechanic or other Ia
borers in this country to the highest
positions if he has the capacity, the
integrity and industry requisite to the
performance OF the duties involved.

Tired Of the Cry.
TO every word of the following, from
the New York Sun, we say Amen:

TO every word Of the following, from
the New York Sun, we say Amen:
"Pcoplu are getting tired OF the cry
Of Fraud, de )actO, ctc."-s so writes !
silly New York correspondent OF The
Cincinnati Commercial.
or coursc they are tired Of it. The
men who ara themselves guilty Of The
Fraud hate the cry, and their abcttor@
and accessories listen to it with dccl
and sincere displeasnrc. Thieves, bur
glars and hi%ghwaymcn aIcalways tire1
of the cry which pursucs, and they
abominate the justice which threatens
and ovcrtakes. How much plcasantcl
the world would be for ,hcD, how
much more delightful! life would seem,
if there were no punishment, and il
.hoy were allowed to enjoy in quic:
and felicity the fruits Of their crimes !
But this is impossible, Justice can
not safely be defraudcd of her rights.
Society must provide for her wi sccu
rity; and i. thieves, iorgcrs and bur,
glars are not permitted to remain in
the undisputcd possession of their
booty and their liberty. how much less
can those who have robbed a whole ma
ton, ana by fmere fraud acquired its
greatest dignities and honors. be suf-
fCrcd to continue in the undistalbcd
enjoyment Of a plumber so much no-
bier and more valuablcp This cannot
be. The cry can 80 on. Justice must
be satisfied.
There are many sincere and patriot
ic Republicans, like this writer in the
Cincinnati Commercial, who are more
than tired of the dire facts of Hayes
Electoral Fraud, and who would fam
hope that the chiefs of their party and
the party itself may escape the political
destruction which is their due. But
all such hope is utterly mistaken. The
Fraud must never be repeated; and ii
would be poor consolation for our
honest Republicans if some twenty
years hence the Democratic party,
grown corrupt by long tenure of pow
or, and determined to remain in Office
when the people had voted that they
must leave, should be encouraged by
any apparent IMMUNITY Of Hayes, Ev-
arts, Schurz. and the rest OF the pres.
ent Fraudulent Administration to re
peat the Electoral Conspiracy of 1876.
The only safe course IN the premises
is to iniict such political penalties up.
on the criminals now at the bar of the
country, that hereafter al! men shall be
forever deferred from committing their
offence.
