The enmity between Blaine and Conkling
dates back to 1865, when both were members
of the House They were discussing some
unimportant measure when Conkllng flung at
Blaine one of his bitter sarcasms Blaine made
this biting response:
"As to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm, hope
he will not be too severe. The contempt OF
that large minded gentleman IL so willing;
his naughty disdain, his grandlloquent swell
his majestic, superemlhent, overpowering,
turkey gobbler strut has been 80 crushing to

merity for me to venture upon controversy

in this city. His letter published IN that pa

a little iocose satire, a part of which was the
statement that the mantle Of the late Winter
Davis had fallen upon the member from New
York The gentleman took it seriously, and
it has given his strut an additional pomposity.

Rural Happenings.

SANDWICH, Ill, June 6, 1881
The Free Press of tins city says: "Our town
has witnessed some drunkenness since the
closing of the dram-shops. The tangelefoot
'seeps through somewhere, as We have reason
to believe from observation" Well, Brother
Bloodgood, if you will but examine the police
courts records you Will find that but one per
son was fined Tor drunkenness during the first
year just past of Ho.iiceHse to every six fined
under any year of license for the past ten
years. Then, not quarter so many men are
drunk on our streets now as when the doors
of saloons were thrown wide open for custom
ers. No license and no dram shops do not
cause young men and boys to congregate ev-
cry night to ruin themselves and disturb their
nelghbors, 1t is not the want of licensed sal
oons that makes drunkards, creates poverty,
causes suffering, piles of rags, destroys homes.
On the other hand we find our little city to-
day the most prosperous In DeKalb county,
and the only city that refuses to license the
liquor dealer. There is no city IN this county
that has done or is dong as much for its
wealth creating men and women as Sandwich.
For over u year it has made sober men better
drunkards have become temperance advocates
poverty is rarely found suffering is turned
to happiness; where rags dwelt, there plenty
Is found, and the fireside of many homes
frightened by happy hearts, smiling faces,
and sober owners.
