In a recent sermon, Mr.. Talmage
said: son the theory that anybody
can make a newspaper, inexperienced
capitalists every year are entering
the lists, and it is a simple statistic
that there is a average ofdead Lews-
papers every day of the year. The
average of newspaper life is five
years. Most of them die of cholera
infantum. 1t is high time it were
understood that the most successful
way of sinking 4 fortune and keep
ing it sunk is TO start q newspaper.
Almost every Intelligent mar during
his life is smitten with the newspa-
per mania; start q newspaper CT have
stock in one he must or die. But
let me tell you, oh man, that if you
have an idea, or any moral, social,
political or religious subject, you had
better charge on the columns already
established. Do not take an idea so
prevalent that when a man can do
nothing else he can edit q newspa
per. To manage en- to propel a news
paper requires more realities than
any other business on earth. If you
feel called On TO start q newspaper,
take it for granted you are threaten
ed with softening of the BRAIN"

A wagon load of misery excited
pity at Ottawa, Kansas. 1t was a
handcuffed thief, on his way to pris
on his insane wife, who was being
taken to an asylum; two children,
going to the poorhouse, and a deaf
baby, bound for a graveyard. The
object in taking them all in n re-
hicle was to manage the woman easi.
ly, as she refused to be parted from
the rest.

Tbe Pond Liouor ain.

The Pond Liquor Bill.
The passage of the Pond Liquor
Bill last week by the Republican Leg
stature, was pretty well ";cussed"
and discussed on our streets by par
lies in the business effected by it, and
many not in it. The Pond Bill is al
License law in the shape of q tax, the
injustice of the law, however is, that
all laws heretofore in force regulating
restraining the traffic remain in
force and are unimpaired by any
thing in the new law. If the bill Of
fered any protection as compensation
for the heavy conditions it imposes,
a sort of excuse might perhaps be
made for it. But it offers nc kind of
guarantee. 1t simply selects a kind
of business and prescribes penalties
for carrying it on. The only excep-
ton is in the case of druggists, who
may sell upon the prescription of a
physician for medical purposes, or a
physician may sell himself for the
same purpose without paying tax or
gi. ing bondi 1t is q law which in
it's operation on liquor selling make
the rich richer and the poor poorer,
and there is where the injustice Oft
comes in. The liquor dealer is tax
ed but not protected. If he does not
pay the tax, he cannot sell, and if he
pays the tax he is still subject to in
reference. It taxes but does not
protect, and exacts q price for a priv.
ilege that is not granted when the
price is paid! Such is Republican
legislation.
The law provides that the tax ir
cities of the first class shall be $500
for each dealer; cities of the second
class $3.50; cities and villages having
a population from two to ten thou
sand 5000; villages less thantwo thou
sand inhabitants $3.50; in districts
outside of either towns or villages
800. This tax goes into the county
treasury. The provisions of the Law
extend to take in the territory adjion
ing any city, town or village within
two miles of the limits thereof. Eve
ry dealer must give bond to compl.
with the law and he cannot sell o.
open up q saloon until he has giyeI
the required bond. The bond shal
be for 81, 900 and shall be filed in tin
Probate Court with two freeholder
for securities. Engaging in the bus
irfess without having filed this bone
shall throw the offender liable to
fine of from $500 to 81, 900 and i'm
prisonment from thirty days to n yea
or both. If any dealer sells to an,
other dealer who has not given tk
required bond he shall forfeit I'll
amount of the sale, be fined flor
5000 to $1,000 and suffer impriso1
3 ment. Any person buying liquc
| from parties outside the state sha
} be subjected to the same penalties a
though buying in the state. In pro-
under the observation-disclosures
by the Grand Jury is necessary bI
r shall proceed upon information file
; in court by the Prosecuting Alto
hey, who will receive ten per cent.
all fines collected as fees.
+ The funds collected under the la
q shall be divided between the corp
ration and the county, the latter ge
ting one third.
Saloons shall be listed by Asse
sors and record kept by the Count
Auditor.

II was some consolation for the
counting out of Tilden in 1875 and
the selling out of Hancock in 1880 to
reflect that by their being kept from
the Presidency the Treasury was say
ed from the ravages of bad, naughty,
wicked people holding Southern war
claims. And our satisfaction at this
thought sustained us when in De
cember last a loyal and economical
House of Representatives met at
Washington. And now, alas! one
little bill has been passed appropri-
ating 1921, 900 for the payment of l.
800 claims, while the committee has
received ten bags of claims adjudicat-
ed by the Treasury, and there are
thousands of claimants springing up
on every side. And not one of our
esteemed Republican contemporaries
breathes so much as a minor para
graph on the subject! This is sad
very sad.-[World.

Garfeld's

Garheld'S majority 3,O33
If the contest of 1872 is referred
to it will be seer that although Gree
ley was so largely bolted by the Dem
ocrats, he received upwards of one
hundred Thousand more votes than
Seymour did in 1868, yet in 1880 the
respective Republican majorities of
3O5,45S votes Of 1868 and of 727,975
of 1872 were cut down to the pitable
number of 1898. The election Of
1875 can not be well considered. 1t
was muddled fraud upon both sides,
but it is probable Tilden lad both a
majority ofthe electoral and the pop
ul,,r vote. Taking the four last cleo
tions together. however, it will be
seen that the Democrats have been
getting nearer and nearer to the point
where they a seize the "spoils" and
there is no more stupid thing to be
done on the part of the Republican
journals than to attempt to create the
impression that the Democratic par
ty is in the last stages ofdissolution,
and that is vital with principles and
invulnerably intrenched in popular
favCr. O..

they will never vote the Republican
