that case have since been the victims of

The Temperance Boom.

The women of Ulster county, New
York, may be said to have seized the
demon of intemperance by the throat.
They have gone to work in a manner
that will either eradicate the habit OF
drinking from that county or drive all
the men out of it. The matrons have
pledged themselves to neither buy nor
sell OF man who drinks, who sells
drinks or who holds that it Is defensible
to do either. The young women have
signed n pledge which binds them to
avoid speaking to all young men who
cannot put themselves right on the
total abstinence question. These deter
mined women will make no exception ON
account OF social position, wealth, genius
or influence. They intend to boycott
every merchant who does not vote for
prohibition. We shall wait to hear from
Ulster with anxiety. If the men up
there are as stubborn rs their sex usual

HAPPY ACoUIEsCENCIs::


Gradually the people are recovering
from the condition of extreme excite
ment which they have been under for
the past few days. On Thursday there
was an unhealthy suggestion of riot
and bIoodshed running all through the
kilograms. As each successive dis
patch was received we almost feared it
would tell of crowds here and there
losing control of their reason, and
going mad. Yesterday, however, all
seemed peace and safety. There was
iollifcation in pretty nearly everything
that came over the wires; the tele-
grams told of rejoicings and congratC-
lations, of enthusiastic cheering, and of
the booming of cannons over a victory
Of peace. The serenity and happiness
pervading the land were needed. The
relief came in time, for the people could
not longer have endured the strain to
which they were subjected. The popu-
lar acquiescence in the declared result
of the election, as evidenced by the jolli-
fications, not only brings relief to all,
but should be.suggestive 10 Mr.. Blaine
and the few with him who would
nullify the viii OF the people by fraud.
The masses are happy over the result of
Tuesdays work; it would be unhealthy
to disturb that happiness.

and the panel was flied with ex-detec-

After hearing the testimony and ar

minutes reported ready and were
brought in.
"What is the finding of the jury ?''
inquired the court, after the usual pre-
liminaries.
Nothing, may it please the court, -
responded the foreman.
"Nothing?" echoed the judge in sur
prise.

THEY MUST GO.

How they hate to let go! Blaine and
the Republicans we mean. For
twenty-four long years they have
had one hand on the throat and the
other in the pocket OF the nation, and
while choking the life out of the re-
publican institutions which made the
government grand and glorious in its
conception and operation, were helping
themselves to its treasure. More than
a million Republicans have drawn their
support directly from the national
treasury, and Blaine has been the chief
among those who have grown rich
through office-holding. Now the people
have risen up in their might and maj
esty, and pronounced the edict that the
rascals must go. Naturally the rascals
do not want to go. The terrors OF going
are only less horrifying than death it
self. Having had things their own way
so long, and having fattened and grown
impudent by a generation ofpossession,
they apparently think the nation be-
longs to them, and their right to it must
not be disputed.
But the people have said it, and the
people are supreme in this country.
They stand back of all Presidents,
Courts and Legislators, behind
all institutions OF the govern
ment; they are the nation, and
when they decide the decision is final.
They have decided that the thieves and
pIunderers, the bribe-takers and scoun-
drels, TIE corruptionists and rogues-
in a word, they have declared that the
Republicans must go, and go they will,
however painful the departure may be.
