Because the delegation from Dakota
to the Chicago convention did not hang
their banners ON the outer walls and
parade their presence before the states
men there assembled and keep full bot
ties in their room at the hotel, the un.
scrupulous press has instituted cam.
paien of slander against them. We are
certain that the following remarks from
the Chicago correspondent of the st.
Paul Globe do not apply to Colonel
Jolley, because he is not that kind of a
man:
A Globe correspondent visited the
third floor of the Grand Pacific to-day
in search of the headquarters of the
great territory of Dakota. No sign an.
nounced where this powerful delegation
held forth, but sable attache of the
hotel stationed in the hall, after grin:
ming at this inquiry of the correspond.
ent, said that there were two Dakota
men on the third floor, and that was all
the heudquarters he knew Of. Follow
ing the porter's directions the Globe
found room door which was open,
and the gas turned on at full head
On the table was cigar box (empty),
a whisky bottle (empty) and bot.
tie which looked like a champagne
bottle. but which on investigation proved
to be beer bottle (thls also was empty,
The room was deserted, and but for the
presence of the articles mentioned and g
collar box containing the baggage of the
delegation and few political tracts
there was no evidence that the room wal
the headquarters of the great and grow
ing territory. After waiting for half ar
hour and satisfying himself that The
drinkables were really exhausted the
correspondent came to the conclusion b.
had perhaps better seek what he wanted
in the bar room.

The Depraved RumselIer.

Why are men permitted thus to graf
ify their love of gain Every body
knows that whatever the light thrown
upon the business of dram selling,
however plainly you demonstrate its
wickedness aud responsiveness to hon
orable minds, the result is not TO with
draw all men from entering upon it,
and so annihilate it but the ranks OF
dram sellers are kept full by recruits
from classes more and more depraved
and outcast. Only last week one OF
my religious newspapers had the fol-
lowing statement. can Irish priest
over perhaps the largest Roman church
in Northern New England said, the
other day.: There is not a decent
man in my whole parish who is now
selling liquor. Those who are now in
the trade are the very offscOurings of
my whole people, and so disreputahle
is this business becoming, that only
the most absolutely worthless class is
now engaged in it, ," The simple fact
is this whatever the wickedness or
destructiveness of any business, there
are, in every community, beings in the
human form ready TO enter upon it il
money can be coined out of it. 1t is

have considered. and doubtless did
consider, the discomfOrts of drunken
husband when she married the defend
ant. But, she urges, he promised ref
orination before marriage. His failure
to keep his promise did not Justify her
in deserving him. All the world knows
that such promises made by drunken
man are always broken. In few
words, as she knowingly married a
drunkard, She must be content to be a
drunkard's wife.

Nothing is palmer than that dram

through their fears. We understand

Since eager, ignorant childhood must
necessarily suffer many restraints and

How TO Overcome the Destruc-
tive Moths.

This is one of the greatest vexatlons
which careful housekeepers have to
contend with, and their depredations
are not to be remedied after they have
once made inroads. Houses heated by
furnaces are especially predispOsed to
have moths, bnt every hOusekeeper
must be on the watch for them, for,
from the time that the windows begin
to he left open, the trouble begins.
Heavy carpets sometimes do not re-
quire taking up every year, unless IN
constant use. Take out the tacks from
these, fold the carpets back, wash the
floor in strong suds with tablespoon
full of b0rax dissolved in them. Dash
with insect powder or lay tobacco
leaves along the edge and retack. All
moths can be kept away and the eggs
destroyed by this means. Ingram, OF
other carpets, after shaking, are bright
ened by sprinkling "A pound of salt
over the surface and sweeping care
fully and thoroughly. 1t is also an ex-
cellent plan to wipe off the carpet with
boraX water, using thick flannel cloth
wrung tightly, taking care not to wet
it, but only to dampen. Open the win
dows and dry the carpet before replac-
| ing the furniture. Other woOlens, in
Guiding blankets aud wearing apparel
must be beaten and brushed and folded
smoothly. Be careful to clean every
