Our advice To the young men WHO are lnet
eoming on the stage Of active life not to be
IN haste to join any political society or or
RanizntiOn is simply advice to retain tho
Full ownership of themselves.
When man becomes q member OF po-
htical society, he IL lookod upon with some
degree Of suspicion and dislike II he votes
against any Of its nominees. He is said not
70 bo true 20 his party.
Now, II an intelligent young man In tho
present state of affairs joins political or
ganzation, ho subjects himself to the
liability of having this said about him, II
nftcrward he votes according TO the dictates
Of his own conscience
There are many objections TO n premature
connection with political society at n time
when the political future is 70 uncertain aud
chaotic as il is at present
II is the duty Of young mon TO take n
lively interest in politics. They are not en-
titled to be accounted good citizens II they
do not. They should keep we'll informed as
10 the issues involved IN every election. and
also in reference to the qualifications Of the
respective candidates. All this they can do
quite as we'll without joining any political
society as we'll as with.
In our Judgment, by far the manifest
course 10 be adopted by a citizen ON become
ing twcnty-une years Of age and attaining
b. the right TO vote, Is to resolve To keep
himself aloof from party pledges and cntan-
clements and in n situation 10 east his vote
Just as he plca-cs, without affording 20 any
body ground of complaint or . chance 10
charge him with deserving his associates.
Nothing is easier than this, II n young man
only thinks of it and acts accordingly in
time
Every young man should remember that
II is easier to join society than 10 separate
from II. He can put his name down at any
time. and il IS better not TO be in haste about
II. We think a short experience Of indepcn-
dence would prove So satisfactory to many
II they once try it, that they would be very
slow to assume any party yoke upon their
shoulders.

The Biunder In the Liquor Indictments.

IL IL difficult To say whether II Is moro
dsgraccful to the Office OF the District At
torney that the liquor indictments wore 50
carclcssly drawn, or to the counsel for tho
defendants that the obvious and fatal defect
in them was not sooner discovered.
The indictments were for selling liquor on
Sunday; the law prohibits selling liquor on
Sunday ms n beverage. II IL extraordinary
that neither our learned and able District
Attorney nor the wcll-known counsel for the
liquor dealers over before took the trouble
To compare the statute with the indictments,
unless, indeed, they were engaged in making
practical test Of the liquids sold. 20 nsccr-
tain whether they were of the kind included
IN the statute.
Ono or two Of the gushing" liquor dcal-
ere interviewed by our reporter yesterday
~ would appear from their talk propose 10
go right on now and sell liquor many guam
tity To anybody Us medicine.
II Is just n we'll for them to know that
this cannot he done with impunty Tho
question in law will bc what the liquor was
sold for in fact, and not what il was nom
inally sold for. II 1t be- really sold for Il
beverage. they will be liable, on good in
dictmcnt, although 1t ho avowcdly sold for a
medicine.
Meanwhile such blunder in the District
Attorneys Office just at this time will form
n new straw in the way of the accomplished
Mr. PHELTs's reelection.
