Jupiter's Lottery.

1t is said that the God Jupiter once
made a lottery in heaven and allowed
both mOrtals and gods to hold tickets.
The grand prize was wisdom, and
Minerva held the winning card. This
caused trouble among the mortals,
and Jupiter, to appease them, offered
folly as a second prize, which they all
drew, and were highly pleased with
1t. Ever since that time folly has
been held in high estimation 10y NOR
tails. II they wish to be noted for
wisdom they should buy PERUNA of
the nearest druggist, and use it for
the various ailments which are known
to humanity. Thousands are learn
ing wisdom in this regard, and are
loud in their praises OF these wOlder-
full disco cries of DIR. S. B. Hartman.
Buy bottle and win the prize once
carried off by the famous goddess of
wisdom.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent
New YORK, Sept. 14th. 1883.


NEW YORK, Sept. 14th, 1883.
The Ohio campaign has dwindled
down to the level of a farce and there
seems no possible chance of ever re-
viving Democratic hope. With the
standard bearer, Judge Hoadley, 500
miles away trying to cure malaria
instead of fighting his battle, it is not
surprising that the Republicans even
now claim a walk over. The Demo-
Gratis are now cOhsOling themselves
with the fond delusion that the Judge
may after all only be playing possum.
that he is meditating some deep mys-
ferrous coup which he will execute on
the day of eleGtion, but however en-
tertaing and at times profitable the
playing of possum may be, it is GER
tainly not serviceable sport on the
eve of battle.
Governor Hendricks says that Til
den wouldn't and thinks that he
himself couldn't. The mental reser-
Yation conveyed by the thinking is
delightfully."- refreshing, and bears out
Mr.. Hendricks single-mindedness in
most charming manner. The Gov
ernor made it principle early in his
political life that he would never
take what he could not get, and adj
hered to this resolution in the midst
of many temptations. At the same
time he never refused what was with.
in his reach. That worthy patriot
who once asked Lincoln for the Min
istry to st. Petersburg, and finding
that as well as other desirable offices
unavailable, finally offered to accept a
janitorship in public building was
another Hendricks.
The Democrats of this State have
not approached en- whit nearer the
much talked of harmony than they
were six months ago. Tammany UNI
doubleday holds the upper hand and
at first determined to throw senti-
ment and the rest of the Democracy
overheard and go it alone. The other
factions however developed 80 much
strength that it was thought advisa.
BILE to wait while before taking de-
cisive steps. Kelly is now deliberat-
ing which will pay best, to divide
the prospective spoil, or attempt to
get it all himself. And yet his Inns
are sweet with the taffy of harmony
and good fellowship, The other
Democrats however haye learned to
"fear the Greeks even when thew
come with gifts in their hands," and
are holding aioof, and thus it cannot
be helped if harsh discord frequently
destroys the harmony of the over
ture which the unterrified are now
executing.

The assets of the Sovereign Grand
Lodge amount to Sill, 242. The pres
ent condition of the order is as fol-
lows: Sovereign Grand Lodge, / !;
independent grand lodges German

ments, 1876; subordinate grand
lodges, go; subordinate lodges, 1903 !;
encamDment members, 1888, 749 lodge
members, 510,414. The slight dis
crepancy between the figures of the
grand sire and those of the grand Sec
rotary is due to the fact that the form
er took his from the year 1882 only,
while the latter took his from figures
obtained this year.

with the control of government. Inls
| is especially noticeable in Governor
Hamilton's latest letter. He is driven
to the point of drawing this truthful
picture of the party's condition ut
is selfevident that there is a profound
discomfort prevailing among the
masses of the party all over the state.
In some of the counties the party is
torn with personal feuds and fac
tionaI broils. Everywhere nearly we
have the heated rivalries of indiyid-
uaIs and factions, the conflicts of per-
sonal ambitions or of selfish interests.
The alarming truth would appear
that whilst all have their adhesions,
the party and the commonwealth
have none" Now, it is no injustice
to say that if Mr.. Hamilton were out
of the party bounds-if he were re-
former pure and simple, instead of
being a Democratic reformer-he
would be among the first to admit
that there can be no hope of better
ment of affairs from partisan Or
ganization that is so divided and dis
tracted upon personal issues as that
which he's faithfully describes. The
necessity for reform is granted, and
then we are hidden to look for it to
party which has pretty much dis
carded all lofty ideas of public policy
and is engaged in wrangles over in
dividuals and spoils! 1t is very likely
that the Governor sees the fault Of
his logic, but as a Democrat he must
make the best of it that he can. Sure
ly, he does not improve his case when
he so inconsequentially suggests that
reform may be secured by the deci-
sive action of the state convention.
"both in the nominations to be made
and the platform to be adopted"
How does this compare with 1879?
Mr.. Hamilton was nominated in that
year as the leading representative of
the reform sentiment, and the prom.
ises Of the platform were oYercharg-
ed with goodness and sweetness. But,
as the existing troubles among the
Democracy can be directly traced to
the violations of those promises by
so many of the party leaders, we can
but say that the remedy which the
Governor now offers has been already
tried, and has proved inefficacious.
Experience has shown that it is
equally easy for the bosses to make
and break pledges, and that they
laugh at any attempt to reproach
them for violation of their guaran-
tees. Experience has demonstrated
one thing more, and much of Cover
nor Hamilton's letter is exact evil
dence Of the fact, namely, that the
only radical cure for the evils with
Which Democracy has afflicted the
city and state is to turn it cut of office
and place the government in the
hands of the observation-disclosures

Honest Efforts for Reform,

This is what the people want at
present. No movement, that is based
upon the desire to put aside one set
of office-holders with the view of SUBJ
shutting another, without requiring
the substitutes to be actuated with
different principles, is entitled to spe-
cial support. The interest of the peo-
pie at large in office-holders, is con.
fined TO the work they do. the meth
DDS which control their official acts.
and the nature of these acts. Rarely
has any man such extraordinary
power as to make the people unmind-
full of his acts. His personality NAV
command their respect, but his acts
are what they need to judge of his
fitness for Office. Hence the conten-
ton for supremacy in the Demo-
cratic party, between it's rival fac
tons is not of that order of abiding
interest which men feel, when they
are discussing principles. What is
needed now is a genuine effort after
reform of methods, of principles, of
actions. This is felt throughout the
State. The people are alive to its
necessity. And yet the Democratic
party confines itself to factional fights
as to who are to be its leaders, as
though any but officer-seekers were
interested in such question.
The Republicans are just now free
from factional troubles. 1t is recog-
nized as Of first importance that re-
forms should be made in the State,
that economy should mark the adj
ministration Of its government, and
that equality Of legal rights should
be assured to all its citizens. To &C.
complish this, its effort now is to Sc
cure men, recognized in their respec-
tive communities as entitled to public
confidence and fully committed to the
reforms mentioned. When such are
chosen they have special claim upon
the votes of their feIIo -citizens. To
them can be committed with conf
dence the offices, because they look
upon these not as spoils but as neces.
sary to the management of public
affairs and to the protection of the
people.-FfedericE Examiner.

The following extract from the st.
Louis Christian AdUOcate is an able
answer to Ingersollism, and the argu-
ments of his infidel followers:
Has infidelity ever raised a man or
woman from the haunts of vice, and
made his or her life clean? Has it
ever taken drunkard from the gut
ter. the gambler from his cards, the
fallen from a life of shame? Has it
ever found a man coarse and brutal
in character and life, and made him a
kind husband and faithful father :?
Has it ever gone out into the heather
lands, and found people ignorant
and barbarous, delighting in rapine
and murder, and by the power of it's
teachings lift them out of the degra-
dation until they adopted the customs
of civilized nations? Is there in ell
history of infidelity a story of its
moral triumphs that will match the
regeneration of the Fiji Islands under
the labors of the Wesleyan mission
aries? Has it added anything to the
sum of human happiness? Does it
bring one ray of comfort into the
chamber of death, filling the soul OF
the dying with peace, and the hearts
of weeping friends with hope? The
religion of Jesus Christ has done all
these things. The tree is known by
its fruit.

A correspondent of the New York
Times writes that Schuyler Colfax,
though out of political life, keeps his
weather eye open as he goes up and
down the country. In a published
interview he says of the Republican
nomination in 1884: "Arthur seems
to meet with general favor, but in
my travels about the country lectur-
ing / hear Lincoln's name mentioned
very often, ard he would be strong
candidate. He has made a good Cab
met officer, has kept free of rings.
and he is, moreover, the son of his
father. But there is no scarcity of
available men. The Republican par
ty will elect it candidates, not so much
on account of strength as because it
seems to be predestined that the
Democrats shall remain out of pow
err. The truth is the business classes
of the land are afraid to trust them !;
and, though they give them chance
in off years, when it comes to the
pinch, the presidential year comes
round, they say we had better let
we'll enough alone,' and vote the Re-
publican ticket"

Four New Bishops.

The Methodist Episcopal church
will likely elect four new bishops
when the General Conference meets
in Philadelphia next May. The Gen.
eral Conference is composed of about
four hundred delegates, elected from
the annual conferences throughout
the country, and this body is the Con-
gress of the church. By it all the
laws are made and enforced. and of
course it too elects the church Off
GERS.
We noticed in reading the proceed.
ings of the Cincinnati conference,
held at Hamilton last week, that
there was considerable talk about
who the four new bishops will be.
Among those prominently talked of
as likely to succeed were the Rev.
W. x. Ninde, d, D., of the Biblical
Institute at Evansville, Illinois; the
Rev. j. M. Buckley, d. D., editor Of
the Christian AdUocdte, of New York;
the Rev. G, III. Fowler, d. D., of the
Missionary society; the Rey. DIR.
Charles N. Sims, chancellor of the
University at Syracuse, New York !;
the Rev. G. H. Payne, D. D., presi.
dent of the Ohio Wesleyan Univer-
sity, and the Rev. J. M. Walden. d.
D., OF the Western Book Concern.
To this list might be added the
Rev. Alex. Martin, d. D., LII, D.,
formerly of this State, but at present
President of the Indiana Asbury I'm
iversity, the greatest Methodist col.
Iege in all the West, and President
Butts, of Drew Theological Semi
nary, and from it the four men will
likely be chosen.
The next session of the General
Conference will beyond doubt. amend
the present law of the church limit
ing pastors to three years term. The
period will be extended to at least
FIVE years, as it should be. The pre-
siding elder question will also be dis
cussed, and it is believed that radical
changes will be made with the pres
ent law on that subject. Altogether
the session promises to be an interest
ing one.- Wheeling Eoeoi'ag Journal.

Local Option.

Local option is simply local self
government. 1t is truly government
of the people, by the people and for
the people. The following may be
named as some of the advantages CT
this policy of dealing with the liquor
traffic;
l. lis Democratic measure in the
truest and best sense of that term,
1t is also in full accord with the thee.
ry ofour Republican institutions, that
the majority must rule and that
where there are conflicting interests
the test of legislation shall be, "the
greatest good to the greatest num-
ber,"
2. Local option takes the question
out of party politics, when granted,
and makes the matter of dealing with
the liquor traffic, with view to its
suppression, question ofmorals and
public policy simply, separate from
all other issues.
3. Local option, moreover, is so
reasonable and fair that the politi-
clans, or Legislators, who refuse, are
left entirely without excuse, for the
denial of this right to the people.
For be it remembered they are not
asked their private opinions of the
right or wrong of the liquor traffic,
or how they will vote upon the ques-
ton when it comes before the people.
They are simply asked as Legislators
to permit the people, whoare rquired
to bear the burdens imposed oy this
traffic, financially and otherwise, and
are best calculated to judgeDf the re-
suits of it, whether for evil or good
(if indeed any good can attch to it).
to determine the question for them
selves in their respective localities.
And if the majority in any locality,
county or city. shall favol its contin-
uance, it will be the duy of those
who oppose to submit lntil public
sentiment can be changed. lion the
other hand public sentiment thus as.
serts itself against the traffic, every
good citizen will dulyobey the laws,
and bad ones should bt made to obey,
if it requires all the power of the
State to compel them And if the
officials whose duty tits to execute,
wink at and encourage their violation,
it will be the duty of god citizens to
displace them as soon al possible, and
put true and faithful MN in their po-
sitions.
4. Local option affords common
platform upon which all opponents
of the liquor traffic can stand. We
are not here confined to tDtal abSti
hence, or church members, but mod
crate drinkers and the pool Keeling,
helpless drunkards all in a word
who can cast vote. may stand upon
it. And past experience has taught
US that some of the most reliable
friends this good cause has, are these
poor helpless drunkards who cannot
resist whilst the temptation is in their
way, and therefore work and vote
most faithfully to remove it.
