The result of the first ballot showed
very plainly that the friends of Ewing
and Bishop were pitting their strength
against Rice, and If the latter could not
pull through on the first ballot, his case
was hopeless one, as he had polled his
full strength--could expect nothing. from
either of the other candidates TO help
him out. .se.

the announcement was scarcely heard
The second call began in the midst of
confusion worse confounded. Yells for

finished it became certain that Ewing
was calling the turn and st once began
a scene Of the widest uproar. Delegates
in every quarter of the auditorium were
upon their feet and striving to obtain a
hearing. But the Chairman held the
rule was imperative; that no change
could be made until the call was finished
Finally the changes turned rapidly in
favor of Ewing, and when the terrible
noise suhsided the vote was announced

No one who is able to get drunk every
two or three weeks should talk of the
times being hard. Every few days men
of families who have scarcely enough food
to make a scanty meal, and not enough
clothing on their wives and children to
protect them from the cold are seen drink
ing. If they see Q man half feeding his
horse, who is probably unable to buy feed
they Twill call him all manner of hard
names, while he is taking better care OF
his horse than they are of their wives and
helpless children. Every cent they are
spending for drink they are taking from
their families and in place Of buying bread
TO satisfy their hunger they return home
In . drunken stupor and allow their fami
lies TO go to bed hungry and cold. Thel
again they will realize the hard hard time
once more and denounce the saloon keep
ers in the bitterest language they can fne
in order TO justify themselves for the man
ner they have treated their families.
The man who drinks should be as liabl
to prosecution as the man who sells, and h.
should not be held up as an object Of sym
pathy for taking the bread for his family
We heartily sympathize with the unfortu
nate who are striving to let strong drinl
alone. but the man of family who will bu
whiskey In place of food in order 70 "hav
algood time" Deserves all the trouble he ha
and should be made bear that of his fam
lilies.

4 Beautiful Thought.

When the summer of youth is slowly
wasting away on the nightfall of age, and
the shadow of the path becomes deeper
and life wears to its close, it is pleasant 10
look through the vista of time upon the
sorrows and feliciiies of our early years
If we have had a home to shelter, and
hearts to rejoice with US, and friends have
gathered round our freside, the rough
place of wayfaring will have been worn
and smoothed away in the twilight of life
and many dark spots we have passed thro
will grow brighter and more beautiful
Happy, indeed, are those whose intercourse
with the world hasn't changed the tone o.
of their holier feelings, or broke those mu'
sical chords of the heart whose vibrations
are so melodious, so tender. and SO touch
ing in the evening of their lives.

AN UNPLEASANT LIFE. Nothing Is
more certain than that human conduct pro-
duces its effect upon human character and
determines its future veal or woe. Virtue
and uprightness give the pure heart and
clear conscience, whose working is an am
pie reward for effort and sacrifice. Vice
and wrong inevitably leave their marks
on the soul and tend to misery. Retribu-
tion follows as the nigh, the day upon hu-
man action. Goodness has its reward; sin
has its punishment.
