An HONEST VoTE,

One Of the greatest political contests
the country has e had is drawing to-
a close. Esch OF the political parties
has had its principles and promises
made known through public speakers
and the press. Every citizen should
consider deliberately before he cem-
nit his sovereign trust to any one.
The right to vote is not only a privi-
lege TO be enjoved but aduty to he per-
formed. Let that duty be performed
with your best judgement and honest
intent. Much is said Of the impurity
Of politics, corruption of parties, the
striving for office AMI the spoils that
are hoped to be gained or fear of being
lost enter into every political contest,
and honest men rather regard them
with despair than with any hope to
overcome them.
There is one thing every II can do
to help purify politics and that is to be
honest himself. A stream never rises
higher than its source The govern
ment need never be expected to be
purer than the people from which it
springs. If a man will sell his rights
to the politician he is not worthy of
those rights, for the politician will
sell the rights he has bought to monop-
oily and class legislation in order to
get his money back. So the man that
will make himself a slave to monopoly
by selling his vote will always be kept
in bondage-the bondage of taxation.
But the most happy signs of the
times are that parry spirit is weaken.
ing. The independent voter is, in fact,
the purifier of the government. 1t IS
difficult for many to decide for whom
to vote. To cast an honest vote re-
quires thought and investigation, with
all the Intelligence, judgement and
moral power that one can bring to
bear. Examine the character, and
qualifications of the several candidates
with an honest opinion and judge by
their former public life, if they have
held office, whether they are worthy to
be further trusted with the rights of
the people. Ask the question, has he
been true TO his trust, has he sacrificed
self and party for the good Of the peo-
pie? For men always serve his party
best by serving the people. 1t does not
matter which party is in power SD
much as it does honest upright men
who are willing to serve the people
and not monopoly and class legislation.
Next Tuesday you are to decide
these questions at the ballot box. But
let every one decide before he leaves
home whom he will vote for. Let
every mar be a mar and show that he
is worthy of his inalienabls rights. BE
not beguiled by the man with an cleo
ton day smile and Il crisp two dollar
note for he IS the worst enemy the gov.
eminent has. He not only expects to
get the money back he may offer you
but many folds more. by taxing you
when he gets in power. Be Eonest your
self AMI see that others are honest
also.

WHAT SHALL WE Do ABOUT IT?

The United sta es is raising by tax
alton, in found numbers 300 000. 900
annually more than it requires for all
the expenses of government, including
expenditures, which are certainly not
stinted, for various public needs. The
tax payer does not grumble at govern
ment; he grumbles at his grocer, his
dry goods merchant, and especially at
his wife, for these are the tax collec-
tors. 1t is estimated that dollar
out of every tell that the American ex-
ponds he gives to his Government,
State or National; and of this tax
800, coo, 900 lies idle in the Treasury.
We do not know what to do with it.
Lying there, it becomes a corruption
fund. 1t gathers hungry lobbyists
about the Capitol. 1t invites propo-
sitions for subsidies and grants extrav-
agant River and Harbor bills. 1t
stimulates extravaganza in public ex-
pelditure, and that sets the fashion
for private expenditure. 1t is danger
Gus to public morals and d~emoralizing
to private morals. What shall we do
about it?-Christian Union.

An Old Man s Veto.

An easy'going, honest.minded old
country merchant in Iowa had been in
trade for a dozen years when he took
his son in as partner. The boy had
lived in Chicago three or four years,
and was up to snuff.
One day after the partnership had
lasted six months, the Old man came
down in the morning and found the
doors Of the store closed, and sign to
the effect that the firm had failed.
He walked over to his sons house and
asked:

II did,"
"What's the matter ?"

Horse Cars.

The first horse cars were introduced
into Philadelphia in 1856, and were
looked upon by the people as a mere
experiment, liable to be taken up at
any time. But those cars have now
extended until Philadelphia has just
shown that she possesses about 1874
miles of car track, with about 1,400
cars and $500 horses. Last year
these Philadelphia lines carried more
than 112,OOO,OOO passengers. The
