The well known Acorn Stoves and Ranges
are made by one Of the oldest and largest
houses in the country, Messrs. Rathbone,
Sard & Co., of Albany, Detroit and Chicago,
and the name Acorn is given to the better
class of goods. The Acorn has led of in the
recent great improvements, and while some
of them have been initiated, the patent Office
gives protection to essential features. The
greatest care is given TO the quality of ma
terials and workmanship in making the
Acorn. Tasteful designers make them at
tractiye In appearance, and long practical ex-
perience has taught the manufacturers how
to make them durable, economical, good
bakers and convenient. Thousands Of testi-
monials could be produced showing their
superiority in these points; but the reputa
ton of the Acorn and its manufacturers Is so
established, the improvements and adyans
tages of the Acorn are so apparent, that with
the Recommendation and guarantee Of the
seller, you may select an Acorn with perfect
confidence that you are getting the best
cooking apparatus for the money, that Is sold
In both Cooking Stoves and Rangers there ID

Of the temperance men being in the major
ity, would give every one of them either
his first or second choice. Unless this can
be done, If each faction insists on having
its own preference or nothing, neither
amendment can possibly carry. Harmony
and unity of action among the friends of
temperance is necessary, or no progress can
possibly be made. The assumption that
our party alone has perfection of knowl'
edge and wisdom, has always been fruit
full source of evil, and until men have ad-
vanced far enough so that holding their
own opinions honestly and conscientiously
they can admit the possibility of error, and
exercise charity and tolerance of the opin-
ions of their neighbors, they have not yet
attained the position of true reformers, and
are not prepared to do efficient work for
the promotion ofthe best interests of society

Don't XIII the Grow.

Don't kill the crows. 1t is only within
q few years that speakers at the various
meetings had the courage to say word
for the crow, but now it is admitted that
his character is not so uniformly black as
his plumage. In Northern gardens, the
white-grub is, on the whole, the most In
furious insect, when We consider the great
variety of plants it attacks, ranging from
grass TO nursery trees, and that its work,
being beneath the surface, is not suspect
ed until the injury is done. The crow has
keenness of sense that allows him to de-
tect the unseen presence OF the white-grub,
and fondness for fat morsel that In
duces him to capture it. A few years ago
we had chance to watch the operanons
of an assemblage of crows on grub-infest
ed lawn. Their skill in finding and dis
lodging the grub should have been wit
messed by all opponents of the crow

WITH view to diminishing the evils
Of the liquor traffic the Council of Wes.
terville passed an ordinance closing the
saloons each day from 8 p. m. to O'Clock
the next morning. On this case was
made and taken to the Supreme Court with
view to testing the constitutionality OF
the ordinance, which has recently been
decided in its favor. Such a regulation
if not equal to prohibition, would reduce
drinking and drunkenness at least one
third. If Wellington should ever have &
Temperance revival so that the people
would feel like demanding any regulation
of the traffic, this would afford measure
of relief and might be enacted, but We
seem to be hopelessly given over to fret
whisky, so free that not a whisper is heard
in remonstrance.

Constitutional Amendments.

The text of the two Constitutional Amend
ments on the liquor question will be found |
in this ISSUE The submission of two prop |
ositlons at the same time is likely to ocreate |
some confusion, if indeed, it does notmake |
the success of either problematical. The |
Attorney General has given the opinion
that It will be proper for anyone to vote |
for or against both, or for one and against
the other, but does not tell us what the ef- |
feet would be if both amendments should
receive majority of all the votes cast.
Each is designed to replace the same sec
ton of the constitution, as it now is, and it
is inconceivable that prohibitory law and
q law giving legislative control can both
be operative at the same time, for the lat
ter implies regulation, taxation, license or
prohibition as the Legislature may prefer,
while the form is prohibition pure and SIM
pie, leaving no discretion to the Legisla-
ture.
In the event then of both amendments
receiving majority of all the votes cast, as
they might, should all temperance men vote
for each with view to securing something,
who is to decide which one is to form a
part ofthe Constitution. Il may be, that
preference will be given the amendment,
having the larger vote of the two, but it
would seem that in the submission of such
q double-headed amendment, some rules
ought to have been prescribed regulating
the result.
The question of how temperance men
ought tovote, is one of supreme importance.
All the more radical, will of course, prefer
prohibition, while an equally large number
believing that majority of the people are
not sufficiently advanced TO sustain such a
law would prefer something that would
give the power to regulate, and restrain, and
make it contribute toward bearing the ex-
pense of the burdens it infiicts on society,
and that finally whenever the majority de-
mand it, gives US power to prohibit the
traffic entirely. 1t viii not do for either
faction to set itself up as infallible and de-
nounce, the other as unreasonable and i'm
practicable, and perhaps, dishonest, for un-
less some concert of action can be agreed
upon, nothing viii be gained. The most
radical can hardly maintain that Legislative
control which gives the power to enact pro
hibition, whenever the people are sufficient
ly advanced to elect majority of Prohibi
tionists to the Legislature, is not a very
long step in advance of the very free traffic
in whisky, which has obtained, under the
present no license clause ofthe Constitution
which, while it gives permission to no one
to sell, gives liberty without limit, laying
no burden or taxes upon them such as othe
business enterprises have to bear. Assum
ing then that Legislative control is bette
than free whisky, what ought Temperance
men to dor We suggest compromise b!
both factions: Each to vote, not only TO
