Round and Square Dances.

A correspondent from Charlottesville
Va, to the Richmond Herald, relates
that in certain ecclesiastical ''court"
the question of dancing was discussed
warmly and at length. Finally it was
proposed that the square dance be
sanctioned, and the round dance be
forbidden. At this juncture a men,
Der of the convention arose and said:
''Ah! bretheren, 1 NIGHTLY fear that
if We authoritatively permit the square
dance that some people may soon pinch
off the corners and make it the round
dance" The proposed compromise
was not carried.

Whisky in Politics.

There is no factor so potent in poll
tics as whisky. 1t controls the prima-
ry, nominates its candidates, election
eers for both sides and elects the one
that spends the most money IN its pur-
chase. This Is true in nine cases out
of ten. Why is ii? Certainly not be-
cause majority of the people are its
avowed friends. 1t is SIMPLY because
the moral sense of the people has be-
come blunted; because partisan success
Is deemed more important than party
virtue. Do saloon-keepers ever vote
for temperance advocates? Never!
DO temperance men ever vote for sa-
loon-keepers and brewers3 Yes, and
that very frequently. We personally
know of one case where the president
Of temperance club voted for brew
er for Supervisor, in preference to al
honored member Of his own blue-rib-
bon club, when he knew that the for
mer would vote in the County Board
for license, while the latter would vote
against it. There never will be a re-
volt against the domination Of whisky
in politics until temperance men talk
against it and vote against it. If it
can then succeed, an organized polit
ical party to fight is the only remedy.

a process of making hard lumber
from common wheat straw has been
invented in Illinois, and 1t Is said to
furnish a most satisfactory product.
The cost Of manufacture does not ex-
