High License and the Liquor Traffic.

The question of high license now sinner
ing in the bottom of the political cauldron in
Ohio is in no real sense general factor in
national politics. In Ohio, under the pres
ent constitution, it is the only alternative, and
is accepted because temperance men can do
no better; but it is far from being an aban-
donment of the principles of prohibition.
The utter lawlessness of the whisky element,
the reckless abandonment of every principle
of honor and entire disregard for legal or.
moral right i'll its partisan legislation and its
open hostility to virtue and the most sacred
institutions of the country, has settled the
conviction more deeply than ever in the
minds of the moral conservators of right,
that alcohol must go.

GENERAL A. s. BUFoRD, In published inter-

"All Of the prominent gentlemen with whom I
have talked, and have met a large number, are
nnquesti0naby In favor OF tariff with which
the expenses of the government may be paid
virginia IL not for free trade under any crcum-
stances. At the same time a majority of the
people have considered that the tariff as imposed
for the last fifteen years has been irregular, and
that 1t WAS capable OF great improvement. An
other opinion that prevails quite strongly In
Virginia IL that the internal revenue system
might he swept away without detriment to the
government For the past fifteen years that
system has been very Oner0ns, not bnly to the
citizens of Virginia, but to the South generally
and we would like to see it swept away. The
import duties ought to be sufficient revenue
for the support of the government"

The Failure of Present Educational

The tendency of our education is to train
the brain and ignore the muscle; to educate

A WOMAN on a train nearing New York tore up

HIS IDEA or A FAIR FIGHT.
Louisville Courier journal.
Rev Joe Cook said that in a fair fight he
could knock to pieces the man who ate raw
beef but he was afraid the man would shoot,
and he prudently refrained from hitting him.
If Joe could have whipped the man, Joe must
have been the strongest of the two. A fight
where one man Is the strongest can never be
a fair one. Both men must be every way
equal if the fight is fair.

A CLEVELAND reporter. tired Of recording the
doings OF mean men, grows eloquent and pa
thetic over the wrongs inflicted upon a certain
man by the "meanest woman in existence"
The woman in question tall and muscular,
and walked with swinging stride. The man,
her husband, was little, with only one arm, and
that half parayzed. In spite of his Affections,
however, the husband was compelled to carry
the baby, which he did by holding the shawl in
which 1t was wrapped in his teeth, only partially
supporting the infant by his paraly zed arm. 1t
is not related that sympathy led any masculine
observer to take the baby himself, but they
united in looking dagGers at the unfeeng wife.
