POLITICAL POINTS.

Justice Field of the |. s. supreme court Is reported as possessing presi- dential aspirations.
 It is now asserted that Dorsey is the only dead man that ever told tales.
 Editor Dana, of the New York Sun, is accused of having a Presi- dential bee in his bonnet.
 The impression continues to gain strength in certain quarters that Tilden will again be the nominee of the democratic party.
 Thurman of Ohio and Gordon of Georgia, would, in the opinion of the Memphis Appeal. make winning democratic ticket for 1884.
 Proctor Knott, Kentucky's new governor, in his inaugural address recently delivered, strongly rebuked his predecessor for his abuse of the pardoning power.
 The Tammany Hall. general com mittee has met and adopted reso- lutions declaring Tammany ready to make every concession consistent with honor to secure the adjustment of local differences in New Yerk city.
 The latest political gossip con corning Judge Hoadly, the Demo cratic candidate for governor of Ohio, IS that his mind has become disordered and his mental condition worse than his intimate friends wish to have known. The report lacks confirmation.
 Hamilton county Ohio one of the strongest democratic strongholds in the state has been hopelessly divided through the reprehensible practlces of ambitions men, who forced an odious ticket upon the people. They have refused 10 support the ticket, and nominated one of their own, and good one too, but the Cincinnati load is too heavy for the state to carry and doubtless the democratic tIcket will be defeated.

A WORD WITH THE FRIENDS
 OF TEMPERANCE.

Without reference to the person age in whose mouth the words were put by the immortal poet. still we quote them as bearing upon the sit uation now: Awake! Arise, or be forever fallen"
 The length of time might be sub ject to modification, but still it should be realized by our people that if we do not improve the oppor- tunity now placed in our hands by the law, and hard fighting, perhaps, to regain the ground we will loose, if we fail to have our petitions be- fore the October term of the county court for the prohibition of the sale of liquor in our midst. Eternal wig ilance is the price of liberty is an adage made sacred by the approval of the ages past, and, if it be true in the sphere of personal freedom, much more so is it in the cause of moral reform. If we now by our carelessness or neglect, or from any other cause suffer the high temper ance attitude to which We had at tained to relapse, it had been better . that we had never reached the atti- tude at all, for in this case we will suffer the full force of reaction in all its dire consequences, Twill be like the sudden lifting of the flood gates that have checked the onward flow of the turbid stream or the eager wish of the glutton long kept from food. Our last state will be worse than the first Think of the happy state of things in this community for the last year in consequence of the absence of the saloon with its clinking glass and flowing bowl. Think of tbe town calaboose once tiit HtlhS 0i t41t NAAti NbHdlE NOnu- tryman, now forlorn and desolate, no inmate to look upon it's gloomy walls or breathe its humid atmos- phere. Think of the many dollars once spent for liquor here, now on missions of love and happiness to loving wives and children, and then think of the accursed saloon set up in our midst on the first day of Jan uary 1881 to repeat its dreadful work upon our people unless we awake and go to work.
 Do you want the saloon and its black, train of evils again set up in your town or community, or do you want to retain the conditions of peace and quiet, and freedom from midnight hrawls and debauchcrys The means is at hand to reetrain the former and retain the latter You

AEpRINTED FRoM YESTERDAY
DOING POLICE Duty.

A Oh tzen Unable to Call Police by Teles
phone, Brings his Prisoner 10 the Hall
in Person.
About 12 O'Clock last night, Mark Lynch,
a resident OF Augustine, was aroused from
sleep by hearing voices at the rear OF his
residence. As quickly as possible he slipped
his pantaloons on and made his way to the
back of the house, and was greatly sur
pTised to see one man In the act of climbing
into window while two others stood by an
acted as sentinels. The sudden appearance
of Mr. Lynch made the robbers decamp
with Lynch after them. A hard run of q
few minutes brought Lynch within reach of
the last of the trio, who turnel suddenly
and attempted to strike his pursuer over the
head with bottle. Lynch warded off the
hit and with well directed blow Of his fist,
knocked the would-be burglar down and
held him until he aroused his neghbors.
The telephone a. the Augustine Mills was
| called into the service, but for some reason
or other connection could not be made with
| the police station. Getting tired Of foolinR
Mr.. Lynch started with his prisoner to the
Hall, where be arrived in good trim at 1.3C
O'Clock. The prisoner gave his name a.
James Lynch.
At 9 O'Clock this morning the burglar wa,
was given hearing before 'Squir,
l
sum of $500 bail for his appearance at court
At the hearing he gave his name as Jame
Jordon and said ne did not try to break int
the house, but could not say what his com
panions were trying to do, as he was to-
| drunk.
The residents at the Banks are poorly pro
tected, even by the special police VIII
patrol the banks OF the Brandywine.
gentleman living at Augustine stated tina
the police there amounted TO little an
would do nothing without there was "somt
thing In it." They even went so far as t
offer to protect the suspension bridge /
that place for the small consideration of
a week.
One plain drunk at 50 cents was ais
, settled, and a small boy, who was arreste
by Officer Marquis for stealing apples frol
a farmers wagon yesterday while 1t WI
: being driven down Front street, was di
charged after receiving very sound lectu
. from the squire, who pointed out to Il
boy the natural results that would follow
he continued the bad practice.
