MY friends, there is another rock i
wish all of you to guard against 1t is
hidden Nv tAs,still sprsmfr sea, but upon
n many human bark has split. refer
to the mince pie. Yes, my hearers. the
mince pie is u rock that has brought
thousands to watery graves-er, not to
watery graves, exactly, but, you under
stand what l mean. The mince pie Is
the great curse of our own land. 1t is
alluring our youth from the path of vir-
tue and sobriety and leading them down
to ruin. 1t begets an appetite for strong
drink that sweeps everything before it.
Look not upon the accursed thing.
Shun it as you would a viper. Sit ON it,
tramp it under your feet, as it were. l
once knew brilliant young man, loved
and coveted by all who knew him. His
is the story of thousands. This young
man used to visit his aunt in the fall
that fatal time of the year when
the mince pie stalks up and
down through the earth, seeking where
it may devour its victim. This young
mans aunt could make mince pie till
you couldn't rest, and her art lured him
to destruction. That insatiate monster
AT first he ate lightly of the damning
food, then, as his appetite grew by what
it fed upon, he ate deeper and deeper,
until after every meal he would sink into
heavy sleep, only to awake with head
on him bigger than Daniel Webster's.
He ate cardaman seeds, cloves and
cinnamon for hours, and yet you could
smell his breath across the greatest wheat
field in the state.
The good aunt, ignorant of the fact
that she was putting an enemy in his
mouth to steal away his brains, "set 'em
up" so to speak, and the young man
would become roaring, staving, blind
drunk in short time. While in this
condition the young man, the pride of
his parents and the hope of admiring
friends, was arrested for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. On the way to
the station he shot the policeman dead
in his tracks, blew out his own brains
with another barrel of the pistol, and
then went back and killed his aunt and a
dog she paid So for.
My friends and fellow sufferers, from
the mince pie to the tomb is but short
step. l demand, in the name of the
youth of our country, that the people
who make mince pies be compelled to
take out license. If they must be
eaten, / beg of you, as you value your
souls salvation, do not eat them straight.
A serpent turks in every one of them.
Ten thousand devils lie beneath every
z crust. Every currant hides forked
tongue of fame like seven pronged
pitchfork. The suet, the citron and the
chopped meat, are the broth of hell, and
the whole business, from stem to stern,
Is mockery, and strong drink is raging.
In conclusion, my beloved hearers,
touch not, taste not, handle not, enter
not into temptation; or in other words,
look not upon the mince pie when it is
red--with poison.

IT is an incident of history that Gen. George
Washington hanged MAI. John Andre. He
didn't want to, but, like poor old Robinson
Crusoe, he thought 1t his duty to do SO, and he
did It. Some time afterward, as some Of
our republican contemporaries may recall,
Gen. George Washington became president OF
the United states.-Ns,o York World.
But it is not on record that George
pulled the string that set poor Andre to
dancing on vacancy as tho penalty for
being spy in time of war. Perhaps the
World thinks it is good campaign srgu-
ment in favor of Grover that he did
spring the fatal trap in person on the oc-
casion of two hanging matinees. A good
many sensitive people fail to take that
view of the matter-so many, in fact,
that the ex-sherif of Erie county is not
likely to furnish parallel to the Father
of his Country" based on his proficiency
as a hangman or his elevation to the
presidency.

Arctic Geography.

At least ono result gratifying to our
national vanity has been accomplished by
tho polar expeditions from the United
States within tho last fifteen years-the
geography Of the Arctic regions has been
enriched by great many familiar Ameri-
can names. The English for long time
had monopoly Of this nomenclature,
and the names of their great explorers,
naval commanders, reigning princes, and
some of their Sisters, cousins, and aunts"
are perpetuated in the CULTS, straits,
channels, capes. headlands, and islands of
tho polar seas. Tho expedition of Capt.
Hall and the two years residence of
Lieut.. Greedy in the upper polar regions
has given to some Of the prominent men
of our own country place in Arctic
geography.

fury before tho explorers of any
other land carry historic name nearer

honor Of the gallant young soldier
who discovered II, is In latitude $50

remain one Of the extreme outposts Of
Arctic discovery. Arthur land Is not quito
so far away. but still II is some thousands
Of miles too near the Pole to DO an agree

THE PARAMOUNT ISSUES.
As Long ms n FREQ Ballot IL Denied
Other Matters are TriHing.

As Long ms n FREQ Ballot IL Denied,
Other Matters are Trining.
At tho Boston ratification meeting on
Tuesday night, Senator Hoar said: The
first question, compared to which every
other is petty and trihing, Is that Of the
supremacy Of tho constitution itself. I
know not what others may think, but
cannot stand In Faneuil hall In honor,
when i know that In great states tho
my oountrymen. do not think my own
right to vote for president is Of much
value II the man Of my choice 10 to BIO
defeated by such processes rs prevail at
the south. There are three states--Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, and South Carolina,
to say nothing of others-in which, be-
yond all question, the electoral vote re-
corded at the coming election will have
no relation whatever to the will Of their
people. These three states cast twenty-six
electoral votes, with Virginia they cast
forty.
Now, giving to Gov. Cleveland all the
states that his most enthusiastic support
ers can hope for, he will fall far short of
an election, unless the votes of these
states, wrested from their republican
maJorltleS ~ crime ana fraud, 20 De
counted in his favor. The young re-
former who votes for Gov. Cleveland
cannot help to elect him. he can only
help to make possible the successful
accomplishment Of the crime by which o
minority shall usurp the government of
the country. The process is very simple
| and familiar. 1t Is known as the Mis-
sissippi plan. Violence and murder are
made use Of until the minority get the
election offices into their hands, and
thenceforth the ascendency is maintained
| by the easier way of tissue ballots and
fraudulent counting.
These things will scarcely DO denied by
q southern democrat in private. The
loading democratic papers in each OF
these states have named, have in sub
stance admitted these facts, and all but
one have vindicated them as necessity.
You tell mo Gov. Cleveland Is not re-
sponsible for these things. You know
very we'll that he is seeking to obtain the
presidency ct the price of these things,
II he were to declare In a manner that
showed he was in earnest that he would,
if president use the power vested In him
for their suppression, or if he should
declare, as an honest man should do, that
he would not take an office gained by
such means, he could not get dem orstit
vote south of Mason and Dixon 3 line.

On the beach where the jacksnipes Groom,
The breeze sweeps In from the purple lake
And tempers the heat of noon;
In yonder bush, where the berries grow,
The pewee tunefllly sings,
While hither and thither the people go,
Attending to matters and things.
There Is cool for all In the busy town
For the girls In their seal-skin sacques--
For the dainty dudes, idling up and down,
With overcoats on their backs;
And the horse-cars lurch ana the people run,
As the bell at the brldgeway rings;
But never perspires u single one
Attending to matters and things.

What though the air be chill?

As she roams by the purling rill;

As Chloe industriously swings

HERETOFORE the consolidation OF tele-
graphic companies has generally resulted
in final absorption by the Western Union.
It is claimed, however, that the triple
alliance which has just been formed by the
Baltimore and Ohio, tho Postal, and the
Merchants and Bankers Telegraph COM
papies-creates grand consolidated cor
poration which tho Western Union can
Mother break nor buy, and which must
necessarily occupy the position of rival
and competitor for business. The most
conspicuous Of the solid men in the new
combination are the CARROTS John w.
and his son Robert), James Gordon Ben
nett, and John w. Mackey, tho we'll
known bonanza millionaire. 1t is claimed
that the consolidated companies already
have a mileage of telegraph lines equal to
one-third of that owned or controlled by
the Western Union. These lines have
been built at cost of about one'tenth tho
sum represented by the stock and bonds
of the Western Union.
