SOUND TEMPERANCE DOCTRINE

SOUND TEMPERANCE DoCTRINE-Phi
osopher Olcot of the Hartford Courant
speaking of ntemperauce at the agricul
tural fairs, says: More and better fooc
and drink, with II thousand good and beau
tiful women to keep order by their pres
cnce, is what is wanted at our fairs. u
True. Let fair managers prohibit the sale
of intoxicating liquors, and then see to il
that plenty of palatable food and COO
drinks-ice water, lemonade, tea, coffee
etc, are provided. Then there will he
little temptation to 90 off the fair grounds
to get drunk The fact is, the refreshments
at most OF our fairs are disgrace to the
farmers well filled larders. If the com
mittee on arrangements will only get the
women interested in this matter, the fairs
will be better in every way. And if the
many temperance advocates who so loudly
bewail the evils of drunkenness, will take
hold of this business and provide plenty
of simple refreshing drinks at The fairs,
they will accomplish more for the temper
ance cause than by weeks of talk. We
trust that temperance organizations will
not let this opportunity 60 by unimproved.
We need less wind and more real work
in dealing with intemperance.

To MARK FAST WALKERs.-There are
two methods of increasing the gait. One
is by the use only of fast walking sires of
the heavy draft breeds. A draft horse
should have life and action, or else large
part of his eight is dead loss. A horse
with four hundred pounds less weight with
the proper mental makeup will draw
heavy loads just as medium sized man
with grit and ambition will do more work
han his heavy, slow minded. logy neigh
Dor. The second method of improving the
gait is training. A lazy man invariably
has lazy horse. The horse will adapt
his habits. A good smart worker does his
work easier with more life and energy,
and not only that, will wear longer. is less
liable to become stiff and contracted in
the joints. Action and life. whether in
man or horse make work easier. A lazy
man and horse both work harder TO ac-
complish given result than the horse or
man with action, life and energy.--Cor,

young mans defence was unanswerable-
II father VINO had been guilty of such lack
of wisdom in training OF his son had nj
right TO blame anybody but himself if th'
son turned out badly. He had in fact
tempted his boy to dissipation. and then
chded him for yielding. This is Il fan
example of the way in which scores o.
buys are rdined yearly, especially in oAl
large cities. Paren,s supply them liber

their time us they please, and are Mortified
some day by the discovery that their
daring boy is a sot or villain. Nothing

much spending money and too much

all think that our boys are the best in the
world. that we have SO carefully instllcd

minds that they will NOT fall victims to
the temptations that swallow up other

Some one has said that women of
fifty years of age to-day, is frcsher and
more attractive than she was senty years
ago at that age. At present, women
dress more youthfully; they do not
plaster their hair in wide bands over the
cheeks; they wear more sensible clothing
in the way of thick boots, waterprools,
ulsters. flannels and high necked dresses,
which tend to preserve their health.
They read, travel and have more congenial
occupation than formerly, and it is no
longer considered "unladylike that
feeble, uamby pamby word-if women
have rubber boots, self reliance, common
sense and few opinions of their own.

The Comniotion Which IL Young Mans
"PrclistOrIc Specimen" Caused.
A young man who lives in Philadelphia
ventured out alone into the country few
days ago. The young man did not know
much about the country, and it seemed quite
natural that he should wish to carry home n
memento of his trip, Il specimen from natural
history. He saw hanging from low bush
by the roadside strange object very much
like small balloon made Of coarse gray
paper. This singular thing seemed to be lust

twig from which the curiosity was suspended
and went TO the station. lie entered we'll

and sank into a seat.
The car was warm. The warmth seemed
very delightful to the young man, who had
been out in the cold 50 long. In short time
he was in q do2c. The car grew warmer Tho
young man slept Suddenly the artificial sum-
mcr atmosphere was rent by an unearthly
shrek, and lady rose convulsively and lust
rs suddenly tainted. Before the startled pas
sengers had time to discover the cause of their
alarm another lady repeated the performance.
A third, who began it in the same manner,

already bad enough, baby set up a yell,
and would not be comfortcd. The PAS
sengers soon got into a strange commotion.
The men were dancing, aud some of them

and shrieking; tho children scralnbling un-

A very funny case of fraud, showing up an
old,time trick, came 10 the notice Of the as
socated charities recently at CWgnnati.
Word came TO nneoF the districts thatawoman
was in great distress on account OF the death
Of her husband. Several chartiably inclined
Christian women visited tho house, and as
cendmg to the loft, they found an lrishwomun
weeping over what was supposed to be the re-
mains of her husband. The supposed corpse
was stretched out on couple OF chairs, and
royerently covered with n white cloth. The
woman sobbed most bitterly, and the scene of
distress was SO realistic that the ladies wit
Messing it were moved to pity, each Of them
handing the womana goOdly amount of money
in order to enable her to defray the expenses
Of the burial, They proceeded down stairs,
when one Of the party missed her haudker-
chief and it flashed across her memory that
she had dropped ii in the death chamber. She
returned, and behold her astonishment as she
ontered The supposed corpse, healthy
looking man, was sitting erect In one of the
chairs, and was assisting his wife in counting
the money that had been given for the burial.
There were no explanations.

TIE GREAT NATIONAL IssUz.-
Upon this questiOn-the Tariff-Our
contemporary, the Cecil Democrat,
has the following sound. practical.
and Just observations. most succinctIy
and forcibly presented:
In fhe face Of the gigantic debt
which we are called to meet, a tariff
which is nothing more or less than q
scaled duty on imports, is perhaps
the least onerous means Of raising
revenue, and as such there il manifest
propriety in resorting to it, but there
is no justification in principle or in
the fundamental law for any tariff
whose prime object is not revenue.
A tariff for revenue is q tax on the
citizen for the public interest; and
falls as clearly within the province Of
our governmental scheme as could
any necessary tax. If it incidentally
protects or fosters certain private
interests, 30 much is fortunate gain
TO those interests without uniustifia-
bic hurt to the mass of consumers who
must ultimately pay the tax. But a
tariff primarily intended fer "protec-
ton" or the fostering Of private in
terests-call them American Indus
try" or Dignity of Labor" or any
other catchword, is as clear robbery
as it would be to call on my Heighbor
to contribute to my support without
any compromising. service from me.
1t is no less robbery because the de-
mand comes indirectly. It is no less
plumber because it is demanded in a
plausible guise. Ny neighbor has no
claim as citizen On my purse or re-
sources for which he returns no equiv
alent. A public servant is entitled
to be paid from the general fund A
private citizen has no such right. If
he demands it, he proposes pillage.
II he accepts it, he receives and ap-
propriates what is not his. Upon this
line is clearly marked the distinction
between the views of those who wage
the tariff fight, and it is all the diff
ference between right and wrong.
