GOVERNOR VANCE of North Carolina was
in Philadelphia the other day, and while
there met in the person of hotel-waiter a
negro advanced to middle age, whom he had
known down south. lie made few pleas.
ant remarks to the colored man, and got led
into INVITING him about religious matters,
on which the darkey spoke with some fervor.
"Well, now, joe" said the governor, do
you really believe in this election by God
that you speak of ?" "Deed | do, Massa
Vance," said the negro, seriously, with a
shake of the head. "Well, do you think /

IT is terrible fact that men have re-
lapsed into drunkenness from taking intoxi-
eating wine on sacramental occasions. l
will not prescribe laws for others, but for my
self say that would rather never taste one
drop of wine anywhere than do that which
might cause weak brother to perish for
whom Christ died. | believe l speak within
bounds when I say that none of our Cleve-
land Presbyterian churches use fermented
wine at the Lords table.-Reu. Asa d. Smith.

Glucose Against Rum.

The prohibitory constitutional amend
ment will undoubtedly be carried in Iowa
by large majority. This is already fore
seen by the manufacturers, and they are con-
sidering the means of resistance. There
are few large breweries in the state in
which the proprietors have invested their
entire property. These Investments were
made when the business was lawful, and 80
far, at least, as the breweries are concerned,
by men who never had the thought that
there was anything wrong in the business.
The machinery and buildings, it is claimed,
will be not much above total loss to the
proprietors. They propose to dispute the
right of the state to wipe out their fortunes
by shutting up their works. We do not
think they have any legal rights to stand upon
in making such contest. The state has
the right to prohibit and punish any acts
which it deems detrimental to the pub
lie welfare. Their property will not be
touched by the law. They will be forbidden
to manufacture intoxicating liquors. II
they violate this law they will be- punished
for 1t. They would, however, on their
showing, have color of right sufficient To
enlist the sympathies of jurors to make il
difficult to enforce the law. 1t may work
hardship upon some reputable and well
meaning brewers but breweries are vel
adapted to another kind of very profitable
manufactures, viz glucose. The prejudice
against it arises from the fact that it is EN-
ployed almost exclusively in the adultera
alton OF sugar. But it will soon bring
down the price of sugars and syrups to
reasonable figure, and the Iowa traders car
find a market for all they can make, at larg'
profits, The Iowa farmers can furnish th,
raw material for the manufacture of tn,
sweetonings of the world. Those brewerie
can become benefactors of the farmers b,
creating new market for their corn. Thei
true business policy is not to spend none,
! in hopeless fight against the law, but h

make short turn into more profitable as
well as more popular business. II will be
a thousand times better to make sweets for
the ohildrens palates than to make deviltry
for their fathers heads. 1t will only be nee
essary to show this fact TO q jury, or to the
general public, to deprive the brewers and
distillers Of all sympathy on the claim of
loss Of their Observation-Disclosures, Chicago.

entered Mrs. Warmers left eye, entirely destroy

could, but intensely painful Inflammation arose,
which, by sympathy, threatened the loss Of the
other eye. Total blindness to woman having
the care of a household is an irretrievable ca
lamity. In this strait Mrs. Warner applied to the
well-known and skillful surgeon, DR.. David Ken
nedy OF Rondout, New York, who removed the
injured eye by very successful operation, set
ting aside all danger Of further harm to the sight
Of the other eye. But, owing to pain and menta
distress, her system needed a tonic and restora
tive medicine To do this work the DR.. pre-
scribed "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy" which
sustained its reputation and laid sure founda

SWindling Marriage Associations.

Memphis Appeal ISIS.
The marriage associations have
been rendered infamous in the eyes
of decent and thinking people,
Their swindling operations are being
uncovered by the Appeal every day,
and yet the half has not been told.
Could we penetrate the homes of
their dupes and the misery they have
entailed by the assessment system in
draining the pockets and hampering
the credit of men and women who
believed all the agents said and
promised on the strength of the names
of public men who Endorsed them,
we should see revealed degree of
misery in sharp contrast with the
swelling importance of those who
have fattened by this odious traffic in
the most sacred ties and obligations
OF life. Already the curses of these
dupes may be heard, not loud, but
deep, and it has been suggested that
society be organized not only for
the prosecution of the officers crimi-
nally, but to compel them to disgorge
their in-gotten gains. How can the
agents and officers of these concerns
put thousands in their pockets in a
few weeks but by robbery as glaring
and shameful and as open and infa-
nous as the act Of the footpad, who
waylays his victim and fells and robs
him in the dark Such seems to be
the verdict in Little Rock, where a
pack of those spectators on human
credulity have been convicted in |
police court, as the Gazette saws, as |
''gift enterprise swindlers and fakes |
of the most bare-faced and heartless |
character"

purely gratuitous trifing with its

looked to it as the exponent of poiti-
cal morality and the champion of adj

Our system of tariff while yield
ing a revenue to tho government of
about Sl94, OO0, 600 for 1881, CON-
PEELED the people to pay a bounty
to manufacturers of the country of

dollar paid into the national treasury
at least seven dollars went into the

duty on them is about one hundred
per cent, only few were imported,

them BY the people was pocketed by
the manufacturers.
Wool hats are taxed, in the tariff,

duty, and not one hat was imported
the government received not q cent
Of revenue; but every time a hat was
bought the purchaser paid tho tar
if to the manufacturers in the price

WOODEN shirts, drawers and other
knit goods. None of them are i'm
ported, the government receives no
revenue. The tariff prohibits their
importation so as to enable the mo- |
nopolies to compel the consumer to |
pay the tariff to them. It is the
same with shot, 50 with buck saws,
