thousands of pulpits and school houses
of the State, and the result was $4,000
votes in favor of the suppression of the
traffic in strong drink. The friends of
temperance have reason to thank God
and take courage. They have found
their strength in this State and though
this present effort has failed it is move
ment that will not go backward. There
is calm determination on the part of
good men to never rest till they have de-
strOyed the traffic in strong drink as d
beverage, ''by the power Uf Christian
conscience. public opinion and the strong
arm of the civil law"
With all our advancement apd glory
as a Nation these are some of the dangers
that still hang over US. If we have Gods
favor in those contests the right will in
the end triumph. Have we wisdom and
courage to deal with these questions in
the fear of God and in the light of His
WOrd? The welfare of our country de-
pends on what will be done in these
matters within the next few years.
There are forces at work that portend
evil. but we have faith in the public con-
science, faith in the Christian intelli-
gence and zeal of our countrymen, faith
in the open Bible and in the power of
prayer, and above all faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ, the Ruler of all nations,
who will keep us as He has in the past
until He has wrought out His grand
purposes in gathering together from all
the world this nation that is growing up
on this continent. May we never as a
people forsake our Divine Leader and
His presence will go with us. If He be
for us who can be against US? He will
be unto our beloved country "a wall of
fire round about and will be the Glory
in the midst of her"

The New York Evening Post remark
ed on Evacuation Day:
New York has been created in the
100 years which have elapsed since Wash
ingtondelivered it,as he, found tburnt,ru
ined & depopulated,to to Governor Ciiuton.
Accustomed as We have become to its
misgovernment, and to the curious spec
taccle it presents of great city whose
management has passed into the hands
of corrupt demogngues by the aid Of the
very machinery designed to furnish
safeguards against anything like arOl-
trary power, We have fallen into the
habit of taking half-humorous. view of
New York-the contrast presented by
it's enormous wealth and its half-par-
alyzed public spirit, its nominal city
government elected by popular suffrage,
its actual boss domination, forced upon
the community against its will, yet by
its own votes its vast commerce throt-
tied by the revenue system of the coun-
try of which it is the port and capital;
its magnificent natural advantages, and
the extraordinary recklessness with
which they are wasted and squaudered-
This attitude enables us to enjoy the
spectacle and pageant to-day with a
much less provincial spirit than the in
habitants of any other large American
city would celebrate local centennial.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Country
Gentleman considers it a bad practice to
allow cattle to run in the pastures until
late in the fall unless they are we'll
drained and the feed good. AS result
of this practice the ground in some
fields is badly trodden and the grass
cropped short, leaving the fields naked
and exposed to the rigor of winter and
spring. This of course is damaging to
the turf, and with ground filled with
water, which is slow to disappear in
clay, much of the grass will be lifted by
the frost, and where there is clover it
will be thrown out. This shows the ne
cessity of attending to our pastures as
well as to meadows, and see that they
are not too closely fed, for it is now an
established fact that good coat of grass
is protection. and left on soil disposed
to heave is of much more value than
the scant benefit it affords as feed in its
bleached and trost-bitten condition. On
rich land having good drainage there is
less danger from close feeding, as the
grass has thick set and a mass of
roots able to maintain themselves
against the frost with the little water in
the soil it has to encounter. The grass
on such soil continues longer green and
nutritious.

THE Cantilever bridge across the Nj
agara river. QUE of the most remarkable
works of modern times, has the longest
double track span in the world-49O
feet over the river and will be open to
travel early in December. The idea of
spanning The deep gorge of the Niagara
with bridge bnilt out with arms ap-
preaching each other from opposite
shores was bold one. But the work
has been prosecuted without serious mis-
hap or delay, and the first railroad
bridge on this principle is now so nearly
finished that it is pronounced Il COM
pletely successful undertaking. The
building of the bridge has been regard
ed with great interest by engineers and
railway managers in all parts of the
world.

THE comet of 1912 is SAID to he visible
to the naked eye, but is yet quite indis-
tinct. In the course of few weeks it
will come distinctly into view, and will
be seen in the northwest. 1t will reach
it's periheliOn on the 25th of January,
and will be seen at its best soon after
the holidays Duling the coming weeks
the brilliant moon will interfere with
its clearneSs until after the second
quarter. 1t is hardly probable that the
blazing tail that graced the comet of last
year will be seen the present instance,
though great uncertainty attends the
movements of these erratic bodies.
There seems disposition to break up in
the body of the comet that may or may
not be followed by disintegration Oh
dispersion into meteOric showers. The
greatest interest attaches to this heav-
enly visitor as it is its second appear
ance, the first being seventy-one years
since.

The District Court at Cincinnati, O.,
gave unanimous decision Thursday in
favor of Hawkins, Democrat, in the con-
test for the Office of sheriff, brought by
Beresford, the Republican candidate.
The ground of the contest was the ticket
known as the except" tickets, which
were not counted by the judges for
Beresford. These were Democratic tick
cts printed with the name of Beresford
substituted for that of Hawkins. and
distinguished from the regular Demo-
cratic ticket by the words under the
title, except for sheriff. The court held
that all such tickets were illegal, being
in their nature opposed to the intention
of the statute on the subject. which is to
prevent the deception of voters.
