If the Scott law will have the effe t
to put 2,500,00 into the public treas.
ury drawn from the vices and follies OF
the people by allowing (llcensing) a
traffic which the advocates of that law
declare to be nefarious, is it an equal,
Just, and constitutional manner OF
obtaining revenue? Is it assessing
all property in the State for the pur-
poses of taxation by an uniform rule,
to the end that all property in the State
shall bear its equal burden of taxes ?
1t may be very desirable to some peo-
pie that all the revenues of the State
should be derived from the licensing OF
wrong and crime, but we opine the
number is very limited who are ready
to champion such doctrine.

Hon. Peter Cooper, the philanthro-

Hon. Peter Cooper, the philanthro-
pist, once said: " In all towns where
a newspaper is published, every man
should advertise in it, even if nothing
more than card stating his name and
the business he is engaged in. It does
not only pay the advertiser, but it lets
the people at distance know that the
town you reside in is prosperous
community Of business men. AS the
seed is sown, so the fruit recompenses.
Never pull down your sign while you
expect to do business, for it often indi-
Gates that business is poor and you are
losing your grip, commercially speak
ing. The judicious advertiser will re-
ceive in return ten dollars for every
one invested in the columns of live
newspaper"

1T is beginning to dawn upon the
minds of the Republican leaders that
the patronage bestowed by the admin
istration upon the Virginia Readjusters
Is not likely to rebound to the perma-

Mahonism black eye and seems like
ly to break up the unholy coalition be-
tweon the spoilsmen and to restore the
Old Dominion to her old place in the
column of Democratic States in the
next Presidential contest.

OUR plan is to protect labor first, and
then let us talk about protecting capi-
tai. Labor produces capital. Let us
GO to the fountain head of good and
evil, of riches and of poverty, aud first
guard it, and then, and not until then,
should we entwine about the products
OF this labor. which we call capital"
in the hands of the rich, the guardian
ship of law and of gold. We can only
protect labor by giving 1t the cheapest
possible materials which it consumes.
Others may lend labor money with
which to buy; but this price is paid at
last by the laborer. Republicans, so
called, would reverse this theory and
process. 1t protects those who prey
upon labor, who hire toll in the cheap
est market, and falling to find it there,
import it.-Cleveland Sunday Tribune

NEW YORK, May S1.-A terrible ac-
cident occurred OH the new bridge be-
tween this city and Brooklyn yesterday
evening. At about four O'Clock the
long line of people on foot in the ccnter
of the walk of the structure who were
going from and coming to this city
THICK ened, swelled and stopped in its
motion Just at the stairs leading up
from the concrete roadway to the
bridge proper. Strong men and feeble
women, manhood aud infancy, were
wedged together in that jam by the
fearful pressure of the crowd, which
extended for miles, one might say, on
either end of the line. 1t was remOrse-
less, fearful, stupid force that held its
victims as immovable as the stone
foundations of the bridge itself. The
stoppage lasted nearly an hour; during
which time scores of people tainted
To relieve the jam, the bridge officials
removed some of the iron palings 8

York side, when, of course, those un.

Scores were trampled upon instantly
and to stumble was death. Men were
dragged out of that heap of helpless
humanity with faces blue as indigo
and the life blood trinkling cute theil
n0strils. Children and women were
pale, disheveled and dead.
The roadway on either side of th'
walk was strewed with dead and dying

A POOR lsborinp man is yary fOoIisl

AePOoR lsboring man is very foolish
to continue voting the Republican
ticket. 1t only takes a little reflection
and observation to see that the Repub-
lican party Is the instrument of the
rich and lordly. All of the great mo-
nopOlies of the country have been fos-
tered under Republican rule, and not
a single law has that party passed for
the benefit of the laboring classes
Thousands of Democrats have become
Republicans because they got rich and
knew that their interests were best
subserved by that party. This tyrant,
Homer Langhlin, of East Liverpool,
was born and raised a Democrat, but
as soon as he got rich his selfish and
tyrannical nature led him into the
Republican party. and now he is one
of their lions. Every laboring man
in the lapd ought to be Democrat

THE Republican legislature by sub
mitting an amendment to the Consti-
tuition of Ohio to authorize the taxation
of the liquor traffic, virtually declared
that the adoption Of such an amend
ment is a necessary preliminary to
such taxation, yet the same legislature
at the same session passed the Scott
bill taxing the traffic in the absence OF
admirable exhibition of consistency
II the Scott bill is constitutional, why
waste time and money in submitting
an amendment to authorize the legis-
lature to provide for what they have
already assumed the right to do?

THE DIGESTION OF AN OSTRICH.

1t has commonly been made to APP
pear that ostriches are so stupid or so
greedy as to be totally indiscriminate
in the matter of food; but this is a
mistake. When two kinds of food are
placed before them they will prefer
the one, and are notably fond of GER
tain kinds, such as mealies and prckly
pears. Many of them even show deli
cate choice. But hungry bird will
eat almost anything. His system re-
quires food in large quantity, but he
always prefers the suitable kinds 1t
is fact, however, that the ostrich Of
ten dies a. victim of over-indulgence
On the farms birds also die by the
score from apop,exy, brought on 10y
their keepers stufIing them constantly
with all they can eat. An incredible
number of pebbles are ,Ss;9netiIpss
they serve the same purpose, in tritu-
rating the food as sand in II pigeons

| the Grand Rrinet district, once found
carcass, the gizzard of which con
tanned some $50 stones of sizes vary
ing from that of pea TO that of n
walnut. Most of them We're bright
and had, and all more or less round
ed by constant rubbing. We may see
the reason of that instinct which
prompts an ostrich to stretch over the
fence and pick off a gold stud or a
diamond pin frop the breast of the
unsuspecting visitor, or, in default oi
jewel so attractive, to attempt tC
pull button off his coat. E. b. Big

A GOOD LITTLE BOY.

boy, the other night, at the supper ta-
BILE:
"Why, Frankly, ! never knew you be-
fore TO ask for preserves a sec I'd time. ,
Frankly didn't say much, but his lit
tie brother Tommy, who was inoceat
of the ways of bad boys, spoke up,
with guileless smile on his pure little
face, and said:
That's because Frankly lost the key
he made to open the pantry. That's
why he never used TO want much pre-
serves at the supper table. lie used to
get all he wanted before supper, but
now he can't open the pantry"
After Franky's father had admins
tered the proper corrective, and the
stricken youth was left alone in the
shed TO repent of his crime, Tommy
remarked to himself, as he sat down to
study his Sunday school lesson:
II expect poor Frankly is sorry he
didn't give Inc some of them preserves
when asked him for them. He vii
know better next time. .'-TeraS SIT
