The editor Of the New Age claims to
have proved by the city records that City
Marshal White made but five seizures at
rum shops in this city from March 10Th.
's3. to Dec. 1th of the same year. The
copy Of the record which he prints shows
l3 specific cases Of seizure credited to Au-
gusta. and note at the bottom states that
there were Is seizures besides not includ-
ed in the statement before. This makes 26
cases OF seizure within the city limits in the
the time specified above. But the arith-
metic man Of the New Age reduces them
to five by throwing out seizures made at
the depot, express office. and the steamer.
which he says amount to nothing. We
should like to know why proper search and
seizure is not as legitimate at the depot,
express Office and steamer as at any other
places where intoxicating liquors may
be found.

What Would Depress En-.

Atlanta Daily Journal, (Dem.)
On the sufficient ground of reform
in the popular demand for turning
the rascals out of office on the i'm
portance to the country of political
change Democrats can win but
should one faction of the party be
successful oyer the other in diyi-
sion of the National Convention on
the tariff question, we fear the de-
feated men will show detection from
the Democratic party and its nomi-
nee stronger than the anticipated
alterations from the Republican par
ty and Blaine. No wise Democrat
will allow himself to underestimate
the ticket, Blaine and Logan. A loss
of Ohio in October by majority eX-
ceeding that of Hayes over Tilden, or
that of Garfield over Hancock, coup
led with a loss Of West Virginia,
would have a dreadfulIy depressing
effect on Democratic hopes for No
vember.

An Irish View of Free Trade.

Dublin United Ireland.
A bill to establish in America what
the English call Free Trade" has
been defeated in the House of Rep
resentatives by the narrow majority
of four. The measure was of enOr-
NOUS importance for English manu-
fcturers, as it would have enabled
thena to export their goods to the
States without the crushing tariff
now imposed for the protection of
native manufacturers, and its fate
was, therefore, watched with intense
interest by Englishmen. Were it
passed, it would have been worth at
least 9l00.00G,O0 per annun to Brit
ish manufacturers. If the Democratic
party at their coming Convention are
so unwise as to adopt free trade
plank in their platform. we feel sure
this will ALLEVIATE hundreds and thous-
ands of Irish votes.

A Definite Aim.

Definiteness of aim is one half
of the battle of life. IRGeflniteness
amounts to nothing, accomplishes
NOTHING. 1t destroys no evil, pro-
notes no good. In the material world
no wealth or honor crowns it. Be
definite aim at something. Select a
prize and 60 for it. Aim at the high
est point of Christian character pos
sibIe. Seek to accomplish the greatest
amount Of good, in season and out OF
season always IahOring with unflag-
cling zeal 10 huiFd up the kingdom OF
Christ. st. Paul was remarkable for
definiteness. This is seen in all his
eDistles. The spirit of his motto,
"ThIs thing I do" is seen in all he
did and said. Strike for truth and
righteousness. and be sure you hit the
mark. IfsOme think they are hit by
our f'ithfuIness, all the better. They
need hitting or stirring in some way.
DON'T be afraid of opposition-it will
harm no one who is right.-Zion'S
Herald.
