the other two. An ignorant people
will not long cast free ballot, in
deed, it will not long cast any kind
of ballot. Ignorant masses of hui
manity have been, in all ages Of the
worlds history, the breeder Of brute
force willed by despots. An educated
people never voluntarily gave up
its social and political rights, but al
ways watches with an ever vigilant
and wakefui eye, the least encroach-
ment upon the palladium of its lib.
erty and ever and anon sounds the
alarm at the approach of SO deadly a
foe as royal or despotic power. Let
the masses of our country be educat-
ed and unnumbered blessings will
follow as certain as day follows night.
To wit: The cry of the demagogue
will be heard no more in the land,
ga consumation devoutly to be wish
ed" the march of the tramp would
cease, the wall of the widow and the
cry of the orphan would not be so
widespread over our fair land, and
vice would not so often stalk high
and bloody handed in all its naked
dcformity. Ignorance laughs at the
Sabbath and ignores Sunday laws.
Education reveres Gods holy day
and delights in a Stree Sunday"
In fact nothing is entitled to the name
of education that leaves out of view
the obligation upon man to rest from
his labors upon the day set apart by
divine command. Apeople ignoring
the Sabbath will not long enjoy its
liberties. Gods word and history
alike sttest the doom of Sabbath
breaking people. Witness France
with her "Reign Of Terror" and her
human butchery by the grillotine.
Then let us educate that we may
preserve to ourselves and to our chill
dren ga free ballot and free Sun
day."
The time is approaching for our
county to hold its " Annual School
Meetings" and it behooves every cit
izen, every patriot to be at his post.
He should see that his children have
the facilities for education. Meet,
think, consult, reason, devise for the
best interests of the schools. Lay
the foundations broad and deep.
Your children are growing. Are
their minds growing as fast as their
bodies? Are you going to do your
duty by them? Do you want them
to be laggards in the race of life
Or do you want them to be men and
women? The world needs men and
women, she wants bra;ny" men
and women. Parents, vote a good
round tax, have a school as long as
you can. Elect your best men Di-
rectors, men who are in sympathy
with the public school system, men
who are liberal and advanced in their
ideas. Turn out all your niggardly
and parsimonious directors.
Gov. Crittenden of Missouri says
and justly so too, that: Parsimony
towards education is liberality to-
wards crime"

GHN. RAUM, who has held the Of
fee of Commissioner & of Internal Rev
cnue for the past seven years, firing
of the honors and emoluments of Of
fee, rendered his resignation to the
President, last Saturday and retired
to the shades Of private life. 1t is
reported that six applications were
made in three hours afterward, by
,ex- Congressman, for the vacant po-
sition. 1t seems that the President
will not experience as much difficulty
in finding some one to fill his place
rs the Gar of Russia does in finding
distinguished guests to witness his
coronation.

Liberty And Drunkenness

Gall men are born free and equal"
says the Declaration Of lndepend
ence. "They are endowed by their
Creator with certain inalienable
rights, among them which are life,
liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness,
Now, what does Liberty mean?
Tn an organized society it means that
no one can be allowed to do what is
detrimental to the weli-being of 9th =
ers. 1t means Justice to all.
Justice forbids all enterprises dan
gerous to public health and morals.
1t forbids crime and gambling dens;
it forbids the carrying of concealed
weapons, shooting within city limits,
the erection of wooden buildings
within fire limits; it forbids conta-
gious diseases, slaughtcr-houscs, etc.
Now what is done about the liquor
traffic and its relations to public
safety?
The liquor traffic is the cause of
the increase of the drinking habit
and its unavoidable result-drunk-
enness. Itputs in continual danger
the lives of great numbers of women
and children and sober men, by turn
ing loose upon them the degraded
and crazed slave of strong drink.
From 10000 to 100000 lives perish
annually on account oft. Number
less crimes are the result of it.
Judge Noah Davis tells us that nine
tenths of all murders which are
brought before the courts are the re-
suit of strong drink. The report OF
the Commissioner of Internal Reve-
nue. says that the people drink up
more money than twelve times the
cost of schools and churches. Thous'
ands of families become pa'pers
through it.
We tell you that our lives, ouI
liberty, and the pursuit of happines.
is stopped by the liquor traffic.

The Country Newspaper

Referring to the country Journal
ist, Geo. Peck, of Milwaukee, says:
L" When we think of the hard drudg-
cry that these cnterprising, indefatig-
able workers do in q week and the
small amount of thanks and cash
they receive in return, we feel as
though something was wrong some
where. Why is it that in some To-
calities that people do not appreciate
the importance of a good newspaper,
and sustain 1t by a liberal patronage,
thus making it better paper, is one
of the most unaccountable things in
the world. We have no urgent call
now to say what we do; but we tell
the people in every locality where a
paper is published, no matter how
small and Insignificant the paper
may be, that every dollar they pay
for subscription or judicious adver-
tising puts two dollars in cash in
their own pockets. We have figured
on it and we know. 1t may not look
so on its face, but it is very deciev-
ing, Lots of schemes that look as
though they had millions in them,
like the man who is sure he can pick
out the the right card in three card.
monte, fails to turn up anything,
while other schemes that do not
seem to amount to anything scarcely,
pan out whole handfuls of nickles
unexpectedly. Subscribe for you,
newspaper and pay for it in advance,
and if you feel at the end of the yeas
that you haven't had your moneys
worth, then your fortune is made
You can go to the museum and get
