Mr.. Blaine on Prohibition.

Answering a sere,ade rendered him
by his nelghbors Tuesday evening, Sept.
3D., at Augusta, Mr.. Blaine speaking Of
Prohibition, said;
1.-The issue ON the temperance amend
ment 10 the Constitution has been very
properly and very rigidly separated
from The political contest to-day. Many
Democrats have voted for 1t aud some
Republicans have voted against It. The
Republican party, by the desire Of lead
inc temperance men, took no action a.
a party an the amendment. For myself
l decided not TO Vute at all on the ques-
tiOn l took this position because l AN
chosen by the Republican party as p
representative Of National issues, and
bV no act of mine shall any question be
.,btruded into the National Campa, gn
which belongs properly TO the domain
of State politics. Certain advocates of
Prohibition, aud ceIt tain opponents Of
Prohibition, are each seeking 10 drag
the issue into The National canvass, and
thus tending to exclude from popular
consideration the questions which press
for National decision, If there be any
question hat belongs solely TO The police
power of The State, it is in the control
of the liquor traffic, and Wi~e men viii
not neg Iect National issues III the yea
OF a NaIiunal contest. JudiciOus friends
Of a Protective Tariff, ~ hich l. the
practical issue of the campaign, will not
divert their votes To the question
of Prohibition, which is net a
practical issue in the National campaign.

that am profoundly gratiied with the

Men and Women, Why Not
The following paper was read Cy
Miss Troup, Of Kirwin, at the Teach
er's Association at Margin, Sept 2Oth
Let us take a glance at the good old
time teacher. Of course he was always
q school master. No woman was con-
side, ed competent, qualified, or in any
way fit TO train the young mind To
shoot, and he was a strict, honest, up
right, method cal man, whose sole OD-
irct was order, and everything was
sacrificed to accomplish that end.
His habits of fe eO-ine ded exactly
with bis methods of teaching, but
would we, the teachers of to-day, call
him practical?
How is it with our teachers of the
present time. Are they practical men
and wOmenP Do they practice what
they pTeachP The young lady attends
the institute, not that 1t enables her to
tea b better nor that she likes it, but
because it is case of necessity as she
wishes To obtain a certain school or is
Obliged TO stHdy up'' in order To raise
her eei tifieate fr0Ia a thin d to a secund
grade. Although she dislike the ipsti-
tute she Gislikes her school more. and
be it only three months, she longs tor
the last day to arrive.
10 is not the young lady only who is
in this deplOI able state, but the young
man also. He teaches, and by 80 do
ing escapes helping father in the shop,
or on the farm. Besides, his health
will not admit of such employment
Can we call such persons as these prac-
teal teacbersP No! Can we call them
practical men and women? Again we
say 40.
But this gloomy and disheartening
picture includes only weak minority
while ca the other hand we have thOus-
ands Of live, active energetic, wide
awake teachers who have reached their
pI esent positions, alIh0ugh they may
not be exalted ones, ny untiTing efforts
and jealous toll, Hnd 6hsir thoughts,
actions and lives are concentrated IN
their work ct ola times out as well as in
the school room.
1t IS such teachers as these that at
tend institutes, associations and con-
geniiOns. not from necessity but for &
love Of the WO, K and for the mOEat a.
well as the intellectual improvement
thereby becuming not only practical
teschs g but in the full sense Of the
word practical men and women.

LEXINGTON, KY, November II.
The day was warm and sunny, the
track in good order, and under the eye of
her new owner, Robert Bonner, Maud S.
was sent down,the track for the Wood
burn Farm Cup to lower her record and
beat the fastest time ever trotted. After
little exercise trot around the track, she
came down under the string like steady
going tornado in horse-hesh. Every
muscle was in perfect play. The speed
was simply terrific. Bair signaled for
the word. Bonner gave it with a nod and
gesture, and down the track
she sped, while great crowd
of turfmen and many ladies held their
breath. A subdued hum of admiration
rose spontaneously as she passed the
first quarter in 32 3-4 seconds, and
sped on like a swallow without break
down the track toward the half mile
post This was reached in l.04. Here
she was joined by her running mate,
and with a terrific burst of speed
she few along the home stretch. She
left the third quarter behind in 1877.
Many enthusiastic turfmen declare the
sight of the beautiful mare skimming
down the home-stretch at the fastest,
speed ever attained by trotter the most
beautiful sight they ever enjoyed. Every
! body held his breath i'll admiration, and
only caught it after the mare shot past
the grand stand and under the string in
2:O9 Ia The cheer that arose was deaf
ening The handsome rocking mare,
gentle as a lamb, seemed to understand
that it was meant for her, and with
dropping head and nervously moving
ears she received congratulations on ev
cry hand Bair, her trainer and driver,
was delighted. SO was Mr.. Bonner who
was the recipient of numerous congratu-
lations on owning the fastest trotter in
the world. The WOODBURY. farm, which
offered the cup, is the one ON which she
was raised. This lowers her record one
half Il second.
