lar prudence and devotion until the
FederalisIs were turned out of power,

of tho Republic.
Tho party which Mr. Jefferson

administrations Of Jefferson and his
disciples demonstrated, is pure, simple
and inexponsive. IL protects all while

power Of taxation is uGcd only to sup

The 'Star Route" contributor to the Prov
idence Journal writes that Neptune is the
morning star till the 9th, and evening star for
the rest of the month. His distance is so
great however, that, although he is the
third planet in size, he cannot be seen by the
naked eye and telescope is needed to find
him Saturn is morning star until the 14th,
and evening star for the rest of the month.
He rises about aquarter before 6 O'Clock in the
evening at the end of the month he sets at a
quarter before o'clockin the morning. Jupiter
is morning star during the month, and the
brightest star in the heavens while he is above
the horizon, for before he reveals his pres
ence the short-lived glory of Venus has pass
ed, the peerless planet being below the hori-
zon. Jupiter rises a few minutes before
o'clock, but at the end of the month rises
shortly before 6. Uranus is morning star
during the month. Venus is evening star,
and initiates the most brilliant event of the
month at its commencement. On the first
day Of November she reaches her period of
greatest brilliancy, and she is now glorious to
behold, being bright enough to be seen by
the naked eye in the day time. She sets
about 81 o'clock in the evening. She will
soon be eclipsed by the suns rays and will
for many months cease to shine in the eve
ming skies. Mars is evening star and ap-
proaches conjunction. He sets about half
past five P. NJ. Mercury is morning star
throughout the month. On the 7th he reach
es his greatest western elongation. For a
few days before and after that time he may
be picked up as beautiful morning star It
will be the only opportunity for glimpse of
him during the rest of the year He rises a
few minutes before o'clock. The Novem-

stances who is to do the watchiug-the Off
GERS and the temperance people in the COM
munity? But il they don't do this under a
prohibitory law, what reason have We to sup
pose thoy would under license law If we
haven't zeal aud grit and strength sufficient TO
enforce the law that temperance-workers have
been trying to obtain for the past fifty years,
what new courage and ability should we have
under a law that is fifty years behind the
times
There are other phases of the matter-such
as the demoralizing effect of law that is not
enforced, aud questions of personal rights
to which have not time to allude. They
have all been answered again and again.
There is one additional truth, however, worthy
Of mention. License, at best, is but com
promise between prohibition and free rum.
Now, in all history, so far as we have read, no
compromise between two great principles was
ever known to be satisfactory. You remem-
ber that long before the war our political lead
era tried to pacify both factions of our nation
by the Missouri compromise. It was consid-
cred by many worthy product Of our best
craftsmanship but who was ever satisfied
with it Ere long the war-made, perhaps,
even more bitter by past egislation-c in
spite Of the compromise. The rum power
processes TO believe that rumseiling is right :;
the temperance element believes it to be "the
gigantic crime Of crimes" There can be no
middle ground. 1t is folly to suppose that
true temperance men can be pacihed by such
an ignoble compromise as license We de-
mand prohibition-a prohibition that prohib-
its, and nothing less. Aud because sooner or
later the right always triumPhs, we are conf
dent that it will come sometime. Ateny rate,
we intend "to fight it out on this line"

A BRIGHT OUTLOOK. 1t may be doubted
if there was ever a season when the reports of
all the commercial and financial journals indi-
Gated so general prosperity. There have
been seasons when, under speculative infuen-
ces or the sudden revival of business after
period of stagnation, larger profits and greater
activity occurred, but after three years of gen.
eral activity in businss, with every branch of
manufacturing stimulated to produce to the
utmost, to find that the reports show gen.
eral prosperity is very remarkable. In addi-
ton to the prospect of full employment dur
ing the cold season, those who depend upon
daily labor for their living will have cheaper
vegetables and cheaper meats than they did
last year. 1t is now probable that the export
of wheat will bring as much money as did the
unprecedented shipment of 1880. The value
of wheat exported this year between July l
aud October is $6S, 039, ,357 against 500, 417,-
423 in 1880. The total export of breadstuffs
is $l7, 900, 900 less this year than in 1880. be-
cause no corn of any consequence has been
exported. Comparatively little is doing in
the stock markets. condition which indicates
a conviction among the outside world that it
is better chance for the general public to
lose than to make money. Unless something
takes place TO check our exports there will
not be a very heavy drain upon the stock of
gold in this country. Manufacturers report
scarcity of efficient and experienced help,
while in the building trades wages are now
from 10 to Is per cent. higher than e year
ago

The VALUE OF TIE GOVERNMENT WEATHER
BUREAU is apparent. The chief signal Off
Ger at Washington has received reports from
all ports visited by the October cyclone, and
they show that a very large amount of prop
erty was detained in the harbor and prevent
ed from going into jeopardy by observing the
storm signals. The value of the vessels and
cargoes actually reported amounts to 81 9O2,
1868. No figures have been obtained from New
York, but the report of the observer there is
very interesting. He says that the warnings
were never before so uuive r5ally heeded-a
fact undoubtedly due largely to the experience
Of shjpmasters in the September cyclone.
One brig, two blrques and 40 schooners an
cbored at H-ll Gate, and there were anchored
in the Narrows several steamers, POO ships,
barques and brgs and $50 schooners. The
value of this property amounts to many mil
lions-probably four or five times as much as
the value of that which is given in figures.
Three steamers and one sailing vessel put to
sea between the l1th and nth Of October
while the signals were flying, but all were
forced back by the terrible storm outside
