rALmAeE.

Many men drink wine while travel
ing in Europe who never take it while
in the United States. This they do
under the impression that health re-
quires 1t. The frequent change Of
water while journeying from place to
place is considered injurious, and often
productive of sickness which may disa-
BILE them. Many Americans go through
Europe without tasting wine, but more
travellers from the United States take
a little for the stomach's sake. 1t is
well known that DR.. Howard Crosby,
whom New York rumsellers and tee
totallers regard with about equal dis
trust, II not hostility, believes that
malt liquors and light wines may be
used moderately without injurious
effects, and that the aim Of temperance
people should be to make these bever-
ages displace f1rery drinks. 1t is plain
that nothing harmful to Mr.. Talmage's
reputation would appear in the alleged
fact that he drank wine while in Eu-
rope. had he held to the views Of DR..
Crosby, or used stimulants for only
medicinal purposes.
The injury Of his drinking. that is to
his reputation, consists, il he drank at
all, In the fact that he did IL slyly, tip
ping in private while expounding the
te~etotaller's faith In the platform.
This was faQrant perception. DIR. Park

TILDEN AND

John Kelley has don the work he
set out for himself when the state dem
ocratic convention of New York nom
inated Gov. Lucius Robinson. He had
pledged himself to oppose Robinson's
nomination and il nominated to op-
pose his election. He has done both.
The closing of the polls of New York
on Tuesday evening witnessed the po-
liticai wreck of Robinson. ANY more?
Yes; Samuel ]. Tilden. That stand
ing candidate for the presidency is a
mangled corpse, politically.
He chose his own field and his own
men for the final contest that should
decide the leadership of the New York
democracy. Tilden lost; he lies bur-
led under the weight of John Kelley's
votes. That pile might well constitute
his funeral pyre.
Tilden will no longer be considered
among the list of available candidates
for the democratic nomination for the
presidency. Himself and bar'l will re-
tire to the sacred precincts Of Gram
ercy Park. Tilden will bag his head
in the cellar while the bar'l will hide
in the rookiest nook in the garnet.
But what Of Kelley and the leaders
who assisted himr Are they disposed
Of for good? Opinions on this point
seem to differ. But Kelley has the
prestige of success. He started out 10
beat Robinson and succeeded. He can
operate In the councils Of the demo-
cratic party hereafter and when he
backed by Tammany) makes a kick, he
will be respected for his strength. He
has shown that he welded the balance
of power, and used it.
The New York democracy will here
after experience more trouble than ever
with Tammany. Having the insplra-
tion Of success it will go on making
demands Of the party until finally, the
party itself will have to kick, ard imi-
tate Tammany In the late election by
combining to defeat the Tammany
nominees. Retaliation is In order on
the part of the New York democracy.
Meanwhile republican successes are
all the more assured.

WHAT ARE THE PROTEST.

This is the absorbing point that is Of
chief interest in every business trans
action. BY the combination system of
operating in stocks, Messrs. Lawrence

Of thousands of patrons, in various
sums, into one immense amount, and
operate them as u mighty whole, thus
obtaining all the advantages Of the
largest capitalist and best skill. Profits
are distributed pro rata among share
holders every month. In this way
large gains are secured In short periods,
and capital from $40 or SIS to $50, 600
ear be used with equal proportionate
success. 800 will make 500 in 80 days.
$50 will pay 1900 profit, or 10 per
cent. on the stock, and SO on, accord

Company in 1871, and has been continually

the present on the Valley Branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio, which includes the old
Winchester and Potomac. He has travelled
over eleven hundred thousand miles, or more
than enough to go forty four times around
the world, and is. to all appearances, good
for many hundred miles moro.
