Who is it that has made the temperance
question "A prominent political issue For
many years, in the very States where this agi-
tatiOn Is most earnest, there has been Tenn
perance or Prohibition party. but it has never
been able TO accomplish anythiny. Wherever
public sentiment was favorable to prohibition
or to regulation OF the liquor traffic, the kind
of legislation desired by public sentiment was
enacted, not as party measure, but by the
votes of citizens Of both parties, though the
greater part OF those votes have in almost
every case been cast by Republicans Bat now,
for the first time in several States, the Ques-
ton has assumed partisan aspect, and the
decision of the people upon it may probably
determine the political result in those States.
This is not the work of Republican politicians
for they have generally been disposed 10 leave
the question to be settled by the people ont
side of party lines. 1t is the work OF the
liqnOr dealers and manufacturers themselves
and of the Democratic demagOgues whom they
control II any harm comes TO them, through
making thi. question the one OF paramount
interest III many states, they have themselves
to thank.
Indiana is especially excited at present.
Men of large influence, who have held high
hOnOrs AZ Democrats, are openly speaking ana
working there for the Republican cause. They
give as their reason the fact that the Republic
cans have agreed TO submit the temperance
question to the people, that they may decide

THE Mocking Bird "

According to Washington CORES
pondent an old attache OF the White
House relates the following incident:
''The first time The Mocking Bird was
ever played, believe, was by the Ma
rine Band. 1t was during Buchanan's
term, and his niece, Miss Harriet Lane,
presided with grace rarely equalled at
the White House. The leader of the
band had requested Miss Lane to allow
him to dedicate the piece TO her, and
she had consented, inviting large COM
pany to listen to the first rendition. The
band leader, following the programme,
first presented Miss Lane with card,
on which was painted a hooking bird
and the inscription, TO YOU The
composition was played in splendid
style, and have never heard it since
but what that scene was recalled. / can
see Miss Lane bow her acknowledgements
again and again, and almost hear the
murmur of applause from the assem-
blage. The flavor of that evening
hung about the band concerts for many
a day."

With such authority the use Of Iron

clans for long time have conceived
that Iron was absolutely necessary,
but the trouble has been that il
seemed impossible to prepare it so
that it would have no injurious effects.
Each new discovery was hailed with
delight by the profession, only to be
thrown aside in a short time as fail.

cry of Browns Iron Bitters that Iron

other Iron preparation. Browns Iron

Price Reduced .

Anticipating the removal of the
Stamp Tax at no distant day, the
Magnetic Medicine Co., of Detroit, as
will be seen by their new advertise
ment that appears in to-day's paper,
have reduced the price of their med
icine from one dollar per package to
fifty cents, and when twelve packages
are ordered at one time, and five dol
lars paid for the same, they issue
written guarantee agreeing to refund
the money if the full course of treat
ment fails to effect cure. We have
no doubt the Magnetic Medicine will
have large sale in every section of
the country, as few medicines are sold
at asl ow price, and what is especial
ly in its favor is the guarantee Of its
effecting a cure. The medicine is
sold at all Drug Stores, everywhere.
Guarantees are issued in Owosso and
county by all druggists.

A Youthful Merchant,

A Boston boy, on the Fourth of July,
showed that he knew how to make an
honest penny by sober business opera
ton. His father gave him twenty
cents for spending money for the day.
He concluded to see if he could not add
little more to it.
He invested it in sugar and lemons
instead of fire-crackers, and, borrowing
pitcher and glass from his mother,
and taking ice from the family refrig-
orator, he made some lemonade, and
went into the streets to sell it to the
thirsty wayfarers.
BY noon he returned with an empty
pitcher and profit of nine cents above
his original capital, in which he exulted
as much as if it had been as many dollars.
BY a judicious expenditure of explo-
sive in the afternoon he was enabled to
make himself a greater nuisance to the
neighborhood, than he could have done
if he had been satisfied with his original
possessions. And this, from boys
standpoint, was undeniably most sat
isfactory result. Nevertheless, the boy
showed that he had some of the quail
ties, that developed make successful

He Scorned Dishonesty.

An easy-going, honest-minded old
country merchant in Iowa had been in
trade for dozen years when he took in
his son as partner. The boy had
lived in Chicago for three or four years
and was up to. snuff. One day after the
partnership had lasted about seven
months, the old man came down in
the morning and found the doors of the
store closed and sign up to the effect
that the firm had failed. He walked over
to his sons house and asked: james,
did you lock the storeP'' II did,
"What is the matterp' "Why, we
have failed, and can only pay 10 cents
on the dollar" James," continued
the old man as he pulled down his hat,

Brave Bows at Niagara.

Mist landing for the purpose of taking
bath. At this point, it will be remem-

one not accustomed to the place it is
perilous to venture in. Mr.. Wilmer,
knowing nothing of the waters depth,
or the swiftness of the current, got out
too far, and would have been carried
down the rapids but for the timely as
sistance rendered by two lads named
Henry and William Rodgers, sons of
Mr.. Henry Rodgers, of the Canadian
Customs House at Clifton, who arrived
upon the scene as the man was sinking
for the third time; the boys seeing the
man in danger at once jumped into the
water, and after hard struggle succeed
ed in rescuing him. William was the
first to reach the drowning man, who
grasped him by the neck with death
grip and drew him under. Henry had
by this time reached the scene. and,
diving, managed to release the drown
ing mans hold of his brother, after
which the boys succeeded in getting him
ashore, the whole party being thorough
ly exhausted. Witnesses of the affair
say it was one of the most gallant res
cues ever performed on the Niagara

stingy old Pitholer who had been drill

rate of 200 barrels an hour. He had
provided six empty barrels for such a
contingency, and when these had been
filled the dark liquid cut its way down
the hillside in roaring torrent. No
one had tanks or barrels to spare, and
the old man could only tear his hair as
he stood by and realized that fortune
was oozing away from him. In the

A Wrong Theory.

Samuel Shin has learned n lesson
which will remain fresh in his mind if
he lives to be ten thousand years old.
AS he entered the lodge to arrange the
chairs and benches for the opening of
the regular Saturday night meeting, he
discovered big watermelon on the
stove. Samuel is not always rcspecter
of the rights of property. His every
day theory is: ITO the finder belongs
the Watermelon" Having no doubt
that this fruit had been left behind by
some member at the last meeting, and
hoping that he had time to devour the
whole of it before any one should come
in, he proceeded to business. Scarcely
had he laid hands on the melon before
there was an explosion which upset
everything in the room and landed
Samuel under the lavender bench forty
feet away. He received three cuts on
the nose, two on the chin, had his wool
badly frizzled, and it will be seven
weeks before he will be able to wink
with his left eye.
''Gem'len, l trust dat dis lesson
will sink deep into yer hearts an be
token fur a solemn warnin'," said
Brother Gardner, as he opened the
meeting I'm de flst place de pusson
who lets his curiosity lead him aroun'

Shin stood off a distance of ten feet an
bin content to gaze on dat mellyon an

what was inside, he would not at dis
mint be lynn on n bench in de anty-
room with his head on paint-keg an
his heart grievin' fur de long ago. Envy
