How is this for liquor law. It
has the merit of being brief and to
the point; and has also the honor of
standing on the first pages of the
statutes of the oldest New England
Colony. 1t was enacted July LIST,
1888, and the Plymouth men liked
it so well that they confirmed it in
1886, and again in 1868. It runs
thus: ''Be it enacted, That the person
IN aohoSe horse any aoere found, or
suffered, TO drincke drunck, be left to
the arbitrary fine and punishment of
the Governor and Cowncell, accordA
ing to the nature and circumstances
of the case. It strikes us hat this
must have been very effective, mas.
much as it made, on penalty of cer>
tain fine and possible Imprisonment,
every householder the guardian of all
the thirsty ones who might enter his
doors-including himself. The Gov
ernor and Council, as would seem
from several subsequent entries,
used to think it was worth about
forty shillings to break this law -
and forty shillings was a considera-
BILE sum in those days.

honesty, without a blush. Others
are ashamed Of themselves and are
trying to give plausibility to what
they know to be wrong. Hence,
while they are bitterly opposed to
anything like fair" settlement
they say they are for anything that
Is fair" They have reached
point where they are willing to be-
heve falsehood, in order that the
wickedness of their dishonest
schemes may be concealed from the
gaze of the world. Not one of them
has ever given good reason why
the settlement made by the Legisla-
ture should not be ratified and car
ried out faithfully, and they will not
give any such reason. The talk
about " fairness is miserable
subterfuge, unworthy of any man
who makes the slightest pretensions
to intelligence and honesty.

A Japanese Funeral.

A few days ago one OF our Kama
zawa Christian friends died. AS it
is the first death among the Chris
tians here, it created some interest
as to what would be done about her
burial, for the government will not
allow the Christians to bury their
own dead. Any funerals not con-
Quoted by the priests are illegal and
punished by law. A Christian man
of Hokodate was recently imprison-
ed for giving member of his family
Christian burial, so we have to sub
NIT to the inevitable and witness our
Christian dead buried with heather
rites.
Yesterday afternoon the Christians
gathered at the home of the dead
and conducted religious services.
This morning at five o'clock was the
time appointed for the funeral All
funerals in this country are very
early in the morning, just about day
light. A number of us gathered at
the house to accompany the remains
to the place of burial. Two sons OF
the deceased woman were the only
ones of her immediate family that
went to see the body to it's last rest
ing place.
1t is improper for husband to
pay this last mark Of respect to his
dead wife. The two sons were
dressed in long white garments, with
kind OF cloak over these, of light
grayish color.
The coffin was box about 81 feet
square. The body had been placed
in the box in sitting posture, being
compressed and forced into the
smallest possible space. A long
pole was run through loops or rings
on the coffin, and it was carried on
the shoulders of two men. The
Buddhist priest carried a lantern and
bell. As the men bearing the
coffin came out of the door, the priest
rang the bell two or three times,
then they proceeded in procession
to Terra MACH, Temple street, to
an important temple of the Jode
sect of the Budhists. This temple
is about three hundred years old,
and is very imposing inside. 1t has
the largest bronze image of Budha
that have yet seen. This image
sits in large shrine, upon pedes-
tai of gold, Iacker and bronze, with
bronze halo around his head. He sits
in his usual position of Nirvahua, or

unconscious meditation, with beau
tiful chancel of finest lacker and
bronze Immediately before him.
The mourners took their seats on
the left side of the shrine, and six
priests stood Immediately before
it, with drums and cymbals and bells.
One priest began with low, rum,
bling, rolling sound, upon stationa~
ry drum on the floor. The low, rolf
ing sound gradually increased in
power until 1t filed the temple with
a laundering din. Then the other
priests with the bells and cymbols,
and small drums, took up the horri-
BILE dissonance, and as nearly as pos
sible, initiated the example set by the
first priest.
At signal the money was collect
ed from the mourners, after which
the long robed high >priest came from
some unseen corner, wearing long
white robes, and hat long and
pointed, very much like that worn by
a clown. In fact, he looked in every
way clownish. He carried in his
hand a long waving brush, made of
horses tail, to be used in frightening
away evil spirits. He first paid his res
poets to the image by burning in
cense before it and waving his
devils brush. Then he sat down
upon kind of small throne, in front
of the great altar and image, having.
his back to it and facing the box
containing the corpse, before which
was small altar containing burning
incense and lighted tapers. The
high priest then offered his prayers
for the dead, a tumble of umntelli-
gible nonsense. The only words [
could hear was ''Nama amida, mama
amida (Save externally, repeated
about twenty times The he waived
his brush and burned incense, and
used wooden hoe, making motions
in the air, as though digging an in
visible grave. After this, those res
lations who We're not Christians,
paid their devotions, and the ceres
mony in the temple closed with an.
other refrain of the dinning music.
We now all proceeded to the
grave, which was a square hole just
large enough for the box to fit into.
On top of the box were thrown a
number OF lanterns one of which
was burning, to light, I suppose, the
departed one through the mystic
shades
The Christians had been silent
witnesses of the ceremonies until
this time; but rs soon as the priests
ended their nonsense, we began
Christian song and the beautiful
hymn, "There is no name SO sweet
as Jesus" resounded through that
heather place under the very ewes
of the temple. They could not
help themselves; we had submitted
to the law, and now, to the surprise
and disgust of the enemies of Chris~
tianity, the closing scene of that
funeral was Christian.

OHIO REPUBLICANS.

There is probably some disappoint-
ment in some quarters over the fact
that the Republican convention in
Ohio was strong and harmonious
There is one notable fact in connec>
ton with Ohio politics, while the
Republican party is torn and divided
in other States, there was no antici~
patton of any trouble in Ohio over
questions that have brought about
internal discussions in other States
Ohio has produced many great men,
but no "bosses." Her Chase, Wade,
Sherman and Garfield have been
giants-Sherman still is Any one
OF these possessed the abilities aud
traits necessary to political Leaders
snip The first two were for years
leaders in the Senate-Sherman still
is. Garfield was invincible in his
Congressional neutrality-suspicious.
before his intelligent constituency,
against the shafts of SANDER and
detraction
But he was not a "boss' He
never aspired to be. He hated boss
ism. The New York Tribune, allud
ing to the recent Republican conven
ton held in that State. fifty says:
Since the voice of Ohio was last
heard in the National election, the
whole world has watched at the
bedside, witnessed the sublime hero>
ism, and worn mourning for the
death of President from that State.
Ohio had known and honored
General Garfield before the nation or
the world came to know his worth.
Can Ohio forget him before Repubh
cans of other States have ceased to
to resist the reversal of his policy
and the punishment of his friends?
President Garfield was the repre-
sentative of that Republicanism
which cares much for the truth and
duty, and little for place or plumber.
That Republican party still exists,
adheres to it's convictions, and ap>
peals to the people in
the State of Ohio Just
as it would have done had he
lived. however much it may have
been crowded aside in some other
States by the bosses and machine
workers. The highest tribute that
Ohio can pay to the beloved leader
who is no more is to vote as he would
ask the State to vote if he were liv
ing. 1t can pay no greater honor to
his memory than by showing that
his own strong sense Of duty, his
own fidelity TO convictions, have in
spired those who followed him and
worked with him in the State by
which he was SO long honored. If
anywhere else a spurious Republican
ism has forgotten his teachings and
trampled upon his grave, defeat
there may teach the lesson that the
party was strong by reason of its
ideas, and not by reason of its
bosses. But the Republicans of Ohio
have a more welcome task. They
can honor the dead President by Civ
ing victory to the principles for
which he labored and gave his life.

A FAIR" SETTLEMENT.

Such leading Democratic journals
as the Nashville American are cons
tinually talking about fair" settle
ment of the State debt. That paper
IN it's issue of Saturday morning says:
Unless some great wrong is done
in some way the debt will be finally
settled fairly by the people who have
the taxes to pay" just what is
meant by the American and others
who oppose a settlement on the
basis adopted by the Legislature,
when they talk about ''fair " settle
ment is what we do not understand
and we imagine it would be difficult
for them to explain,-at any rate
they do not undertake to explain it.
The word 6 fair has several signifi-
cations, like a great many other
words in the English language. 1t
may mean spotless, unblemished, un
stained, untarnished. Ii the debt
is legal and binding, could
it be said that a settlement
which scales the debt more than
forty per cent, without consulting
the creditors, is an ''untarnished,"
spotless settlement? II it is not
legal and binding it would be ex-
ceedingly unfair to require the pay
ment of one cent of it, and no honest
man will or can urge its payment. If
it is binding, it is unfair and dishon>
est to force the creditors to accept
terms without even consulting them.
From our standpoint, recognizing
the debt as binding obligation as
we do, we regard the settlement as
exceedingly fair, especially to the
State.
Again, the word flair" may mean
frank, candid, equitable, honorable,
impartial, etc Considered in this
sense, the settlement already agreed
upon is to all intents and purposes
fair settlement. For the same rea-
sons as above given, any settles
ment agreed and forced upon the
creditors without their con-
sent, would be disingenuous,
dishonorable and one-sided. It
would lack every element of firms
ness. And the word "fair means
reasonable, proper. II the settle
ment is unreasonable or improper,
we would be glad to know in what
respect
The fact is, this opposition to the
settlement of the State debt and
this reason for such opposition is
mere play upon word, or rather it
is the use of good word for the
purpose of concealing a bad purpose
and giving plausibility to wicked
scheme. Every one who commits a
wrong would like to give plausible
reason for his act. The murderer
pleads emotional insanity. The thief,
when he finds himself in the tolls of
the law, becomes penitent and pleads
necessity or temporary unconscio u.s.
ness. The ineDriate pleads the loss
of will power or self-control. The
liar persists in his falsehood until he
almost convinces himself of it's
truth.
Some regulators openly and
boldly proclaim their detestable dis

Says the Trenton State Gazette :, 1t
will be remembered that at an early hour
on Wednesday morning, Charles r..
Allen, of Lambertville, was fatally in
jured by being run over by locomotive
of the Belyldere Delaware Railroad in
Feeder street, between Greene and Mont
gomery streets. 1t transpires that at
late hour on Tuesday night the deceased
man was very much intoxicated in the
Swamp, and that upon word being sent to
the Police Station, an officer was sent to
arrest him. When the officer came upon
Allen he found the latter with two citizens
who said they would take care of him and
convey him to place of safety. There
upon the officer, quite properly, made no
arrest, and thought no more of the matter
until he heard of the terrible accident
which cost Allen his life. Itappears that
Aliens friends abandoned him after the
officer retired, and upon them rests the
responsibility of Aliens death, for had
they not agreed to take care Of him the
officers certainly would, and Allen would
undoubtedly be alive to-day. This, toe,
is more powerful temperance lecture
than even Cough ever delivered.
To the above, the Gazette of Saturday
last contains this reply
Mr.. EDIToR--" Responsibility y v.
Allsn's death, in this mornings paper.
Is Il a fact, his friends who left him, that
they are responsible? Did they place
him in danger and leave him then2 No;
but they left him, What is more incor-
rigible and unmanageable than drunken
mans Can other than an officer positive
ly secure them under a lock and key ?
His friends did not want him arrested
and locked up F.; they hoped to take care
of him, but failed. When he was left,
where was HIS sense of danger gone ?
The making of him irresponsible, was to
rob him of this, more valuable than
money. Who did it2 What did it9 Is
there any other answer? RUN! Where
does the responsibility of Aliens death
lie? Who murdered him Answer,
The Liquor System.
Mr.. Editor, is not this true? Shall we
not put it where it belongs? Let the
State of New Jersey and the city of
Trenton stand up before the bar of truth
and justice. Question. Guilty or not
guilty. Answer. Guilty.

In Manitoba the farmers grow twenty
bushels of wheat to the acre, and bushel
weighs from sixty-three to sixty-sx
pounds. This is better than the Mime
sofa yield both in quantity and quality.
The average in Minnesota is seventeen
bushels to the acre and the weight sixty
to sixty-five pounds per bushel. The SUI
perior quality of Manitoba wheat is partly
ascribed to the soil, but chiefly to the
solar light enjoyed in country where a
day is two hours longer in the height of
summer than it is in Pennsylvania. The
summer does not last very long in Mani
toba, but while 1t stays the fruitful earth
does its pretties.. Wheat and barley and
