Noisy Visitors.

On Saturday night last the Kent
Gun Squad made Ravenna visit and
fired salute of twenty-nine guns in
honor of the late Democratic victories.
Their cannon is a good one, manned
by six sterling Democrats from the
Kent Railway Shops, as follows:
M. M. Sullivan, Capt;
A. Logan,
John Heslop,
Geo. Moon,
Chas. Merrick,
Robt Smith.
Twenty-eight shots called, ia deaf
ening tones, the names of the twenty
eight States carried by the Democracy
at the late election, and when Capt.
Sullivan announced the last gun i'll
honor of "The General Result" that old
cannon sent out such mighty roar as
seemed to shake the very earth.
The Ravenna Band welcomed the
boys with some choice music, and all
went merry.
Come again, gentlemen. ii.

The following item from an exchange
will apply equally well to every town
and every local newspaper: Many
times people feel offended because their
coming and going are not mentioned
while those of others are, aud wonder
what the matter can be. The explana-
ton is, that editors mean to be impair
| tial, but some escape attention. The
likes and dislikeS of the editor have
nothing to do with it, and while it is
not pretended that tue editor is more
or less than human, he knows that the
success of his journal depends Oh fair
ness and impartiality to all. 1t is the
best way always when a notice is de
sired. to mentiOu it to the editor or his
assistant, or communicate it througl
the postoftice No one feels worse
about seeming neglect or partial per
formance of duty Than the editor him

A correspondent of The Boston Trans

the sound thereof is a. Of the pouring of
liquor from bottle. On this side, on
that, behind Us, before Us, on either

Plus.
THAT? Why that is the breaking Of

law has BECOME something Of dead

The advocates of the Maine law insist
that il has proved O success, and Is
practically obeyed: but to my feminine
mind there seems to be an inconsistent
cy in such assertions, when know that
one can have bis glass Of "Mumm's

from the hotel wine, whisky, brandy,
etc, by the pint or ga lon, or, unmOlest-

Men go into saloons I'm Maine just as
they do i'm Massachusetts,.
"What to do there?" says Bobbin to
Robin.

The advocates say that the law Is

neither breweries nor distilleries. Here

lecture against breweries in Maine, and
give them a good salary, too.
As to whether society IL better or
worse with or without the law, am
not trying to say, or how things might,
could, would or should be, but simply,
as under my own observation, they
are.
Men get drunk in Portland as well as
In Boston; gentleman can have his

STANDING ARMIES.

One Of the evils that our patriotic fore
fathers properly rebelled against was
the keeping of standing armies in time
of peace. They wisely founded nation
whose stability was vested IN the attec-
tionS of the people, and whose armies
are found on the farms and in the work
shops except in the moment of danger.
The standing armies Of the old world
form constant drain upon the resources
of European nations, which it is diff
cult for Us to realize, and which it must
be impossible for them to sustain indefi-
nitely. The five great nations Of
France, Germany, Russia, Spain and
Italy are little less than vast military
eneampments, where large portion Of
the population live in all the idleness Of
military life in time ofpeaee, not only
adding nothing to the wealth of the ma
ton, but rapidly consuming the wealth
produced by Others. England, by rea-
son of her insular position, is not under
the same necessity of maintaining an
immense standing army, although what
she saves here she largely spends upon
her navy.
The standing armies ION peace-foot-
ing) of the great powers, together with

And through nave and choir 70 the gray

The sound ro~e faint and dim.
Az they settled themselves In the church be-

For the sermon thst followed next,
And seated myself at the altos side
As the parsOn took his text
marked the tender bush Of her cheek
And the gIeam Of heI golden hair.
The snowy kerchief round her neck
And her throat all white and bare
A throat 30 white that indeed IL might
An anchorfse entIce,
And family heard the par~onS word
As he preached Of Paradise.
Nv arm stole gentle around her waist
Until our ffueers met.
And Q fiiting blush made the tender nush
OF her cheek grow deeper yet
Snowy and fair the hand beneath,
And brown the palm above,
And the brown closed softly over the white
As the parson spoke Of love.
All, who Is wise when deep blue eyer
Meet his and look COY y down:
Who would but drink, nor care TO think
OF enyy's jealous frovn?

Grow warm on my cheek. and then

ONE reason why we would prefer
publishing paper in Wheeling, w.
Va, rather than in the wealthy old city
of Dublin, Ireland, is found in the fact
that Mr.. GRAY, the Dublin editor, was
heavily fined and hustled into prison
for exercising what any American
would consider one of his sacred rights.
He was given no trial, and there was
no sort of legal proceeding. Nothing
was done to ascertain rs to the truth or
falsity of the charges made by the edi-
tor, but he was made the victim of the
despotic edict of despotic administra-
ton of so-called justice. OF such is
English rule in Ireland.

Call FOR REFORM.

The Philadelphia Press exposition OF
the rascality Of the druggists of that city
in filling physicians prescriptions with
other and cheaper ingredients than
those directed to he given the patients,
has suggested the idea that much of the
excessively high death rate among the
poorer classes of our large cities may
have its cause in this substitution of
cheap preparations and inferior drugs,
or the omission of one or more ingre-
dients entirely, from physicians pre-
scriptions. 1t has been proven, in scores
of instances, in Philadelphia, that drug
gists make practice of either putting
a much smaller quantity of costly drugs
into prescriptions, or of emitting them
altogether, substituting water, bread
crumbs, or some other equally harmless
and imperative substance, and then
cOlOring the decoction to represent what
it should be.
If this state of affairs exists in one city
livery likely exists, to greater or less
extent, in all, and a most rigorous and
searching investigation should be mstle
everywhere, and all found guilty OF this
outrageous conduct should be punished
without mercy. This is subject which
interests all, and promptand energetic ac-
ton should be taken. Unless this is done,
the life of every citizen, young and old,
high and low, is placed at the mercy Of
avoraciOus cOmPounders of pills, who,
for the sake of adding few cents to
the already large profits Of the prescrip-
ton desk, will dole out chalk for quinine,
bread crumbs for pills, river water for
distilled, and inefficient mixtures of
colors and scents for prescriptions, upon
the faithful preparations of which the
lives Of the sick depend.
The charges made for filling prescrip-
tons are excessively high, as all who
are acquainted with the wholesale quo
tations of drugs well know. An in
stance of this is given below, the
medicine being for iaborer, who earns
but one dollar per day:
Sulphate Of atropia, grain, /.
Distilled wafer, ounce, l.
The charge for this was seventy-tiye
cents. Now, sulphate of atrOpia sells
at eight cents gr IN, and as to the cost
of distilled water, will say nothing.
Another prescripti read thus:
r. Quinine sulphste. grains, xviii,
Make six powders.
This man was taxed sixty-five cents.
Quinine is worth about $50 per pound
Of s, 7GO grains. The profit can be readily
computed. These prices are Outrage
Gus, but when, in addition to this, the
sick man runs the risk of getting some
thing entirely different from what he
should have, a halt should be called and
an investigation made.

LEGISLATION ASKED.

Just the nature of the legislation asked
at the hands of Congress, by the Labor
Unions, and what kind Senator BLAIR
proposes, We are not informed, but 1t Is
given out that Mr.. ALEXANDER kENA-
DAY, President of the federation of La
Dor Unions of Washington had a con-
versation with the Senator in relation
to prospective legislation, and as a re-
suit feels warranted in addressing those
whom he calls co-laborers as follows:
ri think it would be wise policy at this
iuncture to advise all wOrkmen now
on strike, who rely upon financial aid
from the scanty store Of their fellow
laborers, to resume work at an early
day, at least before winter with In
creased expenses sets in, upon the best
terms obtainable from their late en-
ployers, and continue to work with as
much patience as they can command
until they see what Congress will dointhe
matter next winter. If it should trans

it is clearly proved a national strike
could be inaugurated within thirty days
after the adjournment Of Congress next

tons of the United States with ten-fold
more effect than the recent strikes OF

chiefly disastrous to those inaugurating
