Origin of "Paln,ing the Town Red"

Billy Welsh. the minstrel manager, Of a
Telegraph reporter.
"Rel hot" answered the reporter; "bolh
parties have painted the town red."
Mr.. Welsh remarked: "That's an odd
painting the town red-do you
know where II originated? Well, Ill tell
you. On my last tour through the country
with Callender's Minstrels--a year ago or
more-I had an advance agent, a man
named Campbell. Campbell was genius
NJ advertising, and never permitted a rival
TO get ahead of him. One day in Buffalo
said: Campbell, heard that Barlow &
Wilson are covering my bills with their
paper; want that stopped told him
that lie would strike them at Adrian,
Mich, and when next saw him he had
huge bundles of bills ready for shipment
to Adrian. What are you going TO do? !
asked. Il am going up 10 Adrian to paste
these bills over Barlow & Wilson's and on
every dead wall in that place. am going
to paint The town red, and he left. When
we got to Adrian il locked as il il wrs on
fire, 70 thoroughly had Campbell done his
work. That expression, painting the town
red,' was 30 comic that the colored min.
slrels caught on TO II, and whenever there
wns any excitement or anybody got par
licularly loud, they always said somebody
was 'painting the town red.' OF course il

Americanizlng Great Britain.

1t has been as good as decided that two
million more voters are to be added to the
franchise in Great Britain, 1t has also
been settled to reform the districs from
which members of Parliament are to be
chosen. Under the old system very few
voters elected disproportionately large
number of members Of Parliament, while
great cities like London were most made
qustely represented. In the United States
We try and make each congressional dis
trict as nearly equal with other districts n
it can he in population md number o
votes; but even under the proposed reform
system in Great Britain, onelhird of th'
voters will choose two.thirds OF the mem
bers Of Parliament. But the tide OF dem
ocracy is rising, and the two million OF nes
voters will in time iusist on new disiri'

voters of the realm on equality.-Demorest

Indiana has new liquor law, which
establishes new principle in treating thi'
troublesome question. The idea hitherto
generally maintained ~ such enactments
that the liquor seller is the sole criminal
has been abandoned, and provision ia
made for imposing severe punishment up
on those who drink. Persons guilty OF
drunkenness are to be fined for the fist
and second offenses, but for third, are
liable to imprisonment and disfranchise
meni and the same penalty is prescribed
for dealers who sell to drunkards. There
il manifest equity in these provisions. III
selling intox icatirg liquors is made a
crime,i is absurdity and unfair 10 let those
who ipstigats il, escape punishment. There
would certainly be no sellers ii there were
no buyers, and The mnn who asks or ad-
vises saloon keeper to sell him whisky is
certainly, in all legal aspects ct the case,
an accessory before the fact, and an accom-
plice in the crime, II il be a crime.-Et.
