TWELVE years ago Speaker Carlisle was
spoken Of as 'poor John Carlisle" because
he had frequent bouts with John Barley
c,rn and was generally worsted. It is
greatly to his credit that he gathered him
self up, took 10 books and staying at home
OF nights, and made man Of himself. 1t
is something OF coincidence that ex-
Speaker Randall was at one time too free
with his glass, and his friends feared his
utter wreck. But Mr.. Randall had horse
sense and good wife, and he rose above
the temptation. It is long while since he
has tasted strong drink. Mr.. Carlisle also
is teetoatler. Every man can not become
Speaker Of the House OF Representatives,
but every man can Sober up" and keep
sober. II one glass brings all the misery
that follows he must cut Of the one glass.

COLUMBUS, O., January S.-The Demo
cratic caucus to nominate a Senator to
succeed Mr.. Pendleton, will probably be
held early next week. The contest has mar
rowed down to Mr.. Pendleton aud Henry
B. Payne. Only few votes can be count
ed on for other candidates. Members Of
the Legislature are arriving and the forces
OF the leading candidates are on the ground
and well organized. Payne's men repre-
sent that he will be nominated on the first
ballot easily, while the Pendleton forces
still have confidence and think that if Pen.
dleton is not nominated they will be able
TO name some other man.

Mr.. Blnud on Trnuc Dollars.

WASHINGTON D. c., Janusry 3.-Repre-
sentative Blond has had an interview with
Burchard, Director Of the Mint, in regard
to the number Of trade dollars now in cir
culation. Mr.. Burchard expressed the
opinion that between five and six millions
were out and in the hands Of tradesmen
and the people generally, instead Of in the
possession OF spectators. The remainder
Of the S35,000,000 originally coined he
thought had been exported or remelled.
Mr.. Bland Gays it is questionable whether
the Government, having issued the trade
dollar with the stamp Of the Government
upon it, could not be required to take it
for all Government dues at its nominal
value OF one dollar.

says that number Of other prominent
Republicans" Of Cincinnati are free traders,

large number Of Democrats, in Ohio and
