II ow DR.. Guthrie Became TectotaIer.
In Il journey in Ireland in 1910. in an
open car, the weather was cold, with
n lashing rain. "By the time we reach
cd Il small inn we were soaking with
water outside, and as those days were
days not Of tea and toast, but Of toddy-
drinking, we thought the best way was
to soak ourselves with whisky inside.
Accordingly, we rushed into the inn,
ordered warm water, and got our tum-
blers of tOddy. Out of Kindness to our
car driver, We called him in; he was
not very well clothed-indeed, he
rather belonged in that respect to the
order of my ragged school in Edinburgh.
He was soaking with wet, and we offer
ed him good RUNNER of toddy. We
thought that what was sauce for the
goose was sauce for the gander,' but
the car driver was not such gander
as we, like geese, took him for. What
objection have you?' Said he. "Plase,
your riv'rence, | am teetotaler, and
won't taste drop of it.n Well, that
stuck in my throat, and went to my
heart, and Gn another sense than drink,
thoughD to my head. Here was u

with me to Edinburgh. That circum-
stance, along with the scenes in which

A constant dream of Office possesses
the republican party, renewing it YEAR
/ " in its own dccrcpitudc. For the
purpose of keeping the "inS" in and
the "outs' out Jay llubbcll has collect
ed Il million of dollars in two per cent
assessments, TO be employed he says in
Legitimate expenses of the campaign.
Question: What are legitimate cNpcn-
Sos? The eyes of the community hav-
ing been turned in the direction of Mr..
liubbcll and his little scheme, he seems
embarrassed to find out what these
legitimate expenses are himself, and is
searching diligently with a lantern for
place TO put the coin. Last election
before this, there was nobody looking
on, and it was easy to dispose of it.
But now everybody is looking; not that
the world is "curious you know, but it
wants to know you know" rs Mr.,
Fullaloyc said. And while il keeps
gazing in very rcprchcnsiblc and ill
hammered way, Mr.. Hubbcll's per-
plcNtics increase, The proposition to
devote portion of this million of dol
lars to the Independent movement in
Mississippi has met with an indignant
protest. The desire Of party managers
TO give n slice of it to weak-knecd re-
pubicans of Indiana has been no less
resolutcly opposed. Several other
plausible looking offers have been re-
ccived, but the committee hate awfully
to relieve their grip on the purse strings.
In the meanwhile, to divert public gaze
and to add to the amount, they have
issued fresh batch of blackmail letters
and sent them exclusively to the clerks
on small salarie5 and the poor trash
generally who help out the public
service on its lowest plane.
The World says, "the collector, the
surveyor, the naval officer, the deputy
collectors and all of the officials who
really owed their positions to political
influence, escaped this second tax en-
tirely, while the small fry, with salaries
ranging from 800 to $1,000 received
them without exception" For ways
that are dark and tricks that are mean
let us stand aside and let the great
republican party go up head.

HER LAST POESY.

In the rarest of English valleys
A motherless girl ran wild,
And the grcencss and silence and gladnes.
Were soul of the soul of the child.
he birds were her gay little brothers,
Inc squirrels her sweethearts shy:
Ana her heart Kept tune with the rain drops
And sailed with the clouds in the sky.
And angels kept coming and going,
with beautiful things to do;
And wherever they left footprint
cowslip or primrose grew.
She was taken to live in London,
So thick with pitilcss folk,
And she could not smile for its badness,
And could not breathe for its smoke
And now, as she lay on her pallet
Too weary and weak to rise,
A smile of inefTablc longing
Brought dews to her faded eyes
"Oh me, for yellow cOwslip,
pale little primrose dear!
Won't some kind angel remember
And pluck one and bring it hcrc.n
They brought her bunch of cowslips:
She took them with fingers weak,
Andkissed them, strOkcd them, and loved them,
And laid them against her check.
"lt was kind of the angels to send them,
And, now, I'm too tired to pray.
If God looks down at the cOwSlips,
He'll know what | wanted to saw
They buried them in her bosom,
And when she shall wake and rise,
Why may not the flowers be quckcncd,
And bloom in her happy skies.

ENGLISH WAR CORRESPONDENCE

The unhappy war correspondent o
The Daily Telegraph who sent the blum
dering telegram accusing Englisl

to be taken by surprise. and then tC
have thought it hardly worth while to

present at the bOmbardmcnt was Mr..

/ Chicago Sentinel.
1t is Il fact that the so-callcd money
ed men with the liquor drinkers and
tobacco users pay nimc-tcnths of the
government revenue, while the first
named dodge local taxation to ten
times the amount of the government
taN.-l lIWyoR, Ms, Lcnicr.
at is fact that the Waupun
Leader Is an ignoramus when it says
that "moneycd men, liquor drinkers
and tobacco users pay ninc-tcnths of
the government revenue
During the last fifteen years the gov
crnmcnt has collected about S2,j00,000
of coin alone for import dutcs-cighty
per cent of which was levied upon the
ncccssaricS of life rnot less than thirty
five per cent of it being levied upon the
two items of sugar and molasses !! This
coin revenue goes principally to pay
the interest principal of the public
debt. So IL is fact that "mOncyed
men, liquor drinkers and tobacco
users do not pay one-tenth of the rev.
cnue which goes to pay the interest and
principal ON the bonds.
But the "liquor drinkers and tobacco
users do pay an immense revenue to
the government, but it goes to pay the
ordinary expenses of the government,
such as supporting the army, paying
pensions, paying congressman, post
Office officials, etc.
This internal revenue is good dca.
less than the revenue derived from
custom duties-and the tax upon
liquors and tobacco is very far from
making up all the internal revenue.
To be more explicit, the figures for
1880 were rs follows:
From customs. s.......,,.....,....S lob,522,bl
Liquors and tobacco. ll2,SS8, ,452
Other sources. ................,... VI, 1881
Total receipts. ts..................S 333, 525,6lS
Just under what head the Leader
brings in the ''moneyed men" it is hard
to tell-unless il be under the general
head of ''liquor drinkers and tobacco
users"-but the fact Is that, no matter
where the moneyed man" comes in, he
is bound to more than make it up OFF
his patrons and customers, If he Is a
banker he charges it up in extra inter-
est. If he is railroad king he takes
it out of the fat dividends that the peo-
pie contribute.
To sum il all up IN u nutshell, labor
pays all taxes in some form or other!
This is fact that no amount Of
Leader sophistry can explain away or
rub out.
