career that lands them in the gutter,
and no longer being respectable they
are sent out to the vile places that even
our pseudo-temperance people dare not
call respectable. Let Gs put a case.
A man has by industry saved up a
sum of money. A burglar breaks in
to his house and steals it. The police
are after the man, and, if caught, he
goes to jail. He might be as gentle
manly as Duyal, as amiable as Dick
Turpin indeed his dress and manners
may be as good as any respectable
member of good society, still he is a
burglar, and we could not possibly as
sociate with him. But man licensed
to sell drink takes that mans money,
and at the same time destroys his
moral power. makes him an outcast,
ruins body and soul, and yet is a re-
spectacle man. Do you not see that
is just what he is licensed to do, and
you ought not to complain.

Early apples will soon be ripe

Rye is about ready for the reaper,
and some barley promises to be ripe
enough next week.
The crop of " Canada thistles" is, as

decency, will be pleased to learn that
the city authorities remain firm in
their determination to enforce the
laws against the Sunday liquor traffic.

the other took change of venue, and
his case was postponed until the oath
inst. Public opinion will stand by the
Mayor and Council.
Some strange reasoning people hold
that it is mean to become an informer

them, thereby contenancing fraud and

New YORK, July II, 1884.
DEAR Mr.. EDITOR I find in my
heart many pleasant reviews of my
two weeks meetings in your beautiful
city, and shall pray for the benedic-
tions of our Heavenly Father upon
my many personal friends and all the
churches, Sunday schools, families and
citizens.
AS to business in this city and
throughout the East, nothing encourag-
ing can be said.
There is great stagnation in every
branch OF business goods are sold at
ruinOus prices, and very many people
have the blues badly.
Daily failure after failure is an
nounced. Within few days several
of the Oldest and largest business
houses in New York have failed, those
running into the millions. I have
seen nothing like it since the financial
crash of 81 and s.
Political matters, of course, are on the
rise. They are very much complicat-
ed, too. Everybody knows that Cleve
land and Blaine are both good men
But many here regard the Democrat
candidate as mere school boy beside
of Mr.. Blaine, and will not listen for a
moment to have him preside over fifty
millions of people in preference to
such giant statesman as Blaine.
The weather here is very cool and
fine-could not be better in the noun
tains or lake regions.
The churches are generally open,
with good congregations, and much ex.
cellent religious work seems to be
going on. A. P. GRAVES.

Since the report from Europe one
week ago, cholera has made advances
spreading over larger districts of coun
try. The terrible disease has broken
through restraints, and creating great
panic, especially IN France. English
and American travellers on the conti-
nent are reported as turning home
ward, while at the same time there
seems to be no abatement yet in the
numbers going from this country to
Europe, to enjoy the pleasures of sight
seeing. So intent of late years are the
Americans on foreign travel, they brave
the hazard Of cholera to crafty their
ambition for travel.

The self-styled independent Repub-
licans, who have been feeling uncom--
Portable since the nomination of Blaine,
because they could not dictate the &C
ton of the Republican National Con-
ventiOn, on Tuesday last came together
and concluded to be avenged by resolv-
ing to vote for Cleveland. We shall
see what the course of these disappoint-
ed politicians amounts to.

Gen. John A. Logan has written his
letter OF acceptance of the nomination
for Vice-President. 1t Is just such a
letter as might have been expected
from him-an Outspoken and decisive
document. General Logan is the last
man to give an uncertain sound. His
views on the living issues of the day
are unequivOcally expressed. The
name and public services of Gen.
Logan have long been before the coun-
try, and he is no stranger by reputation
to the people of the Union.

The Democratic leaders are not
agreed as to the construction of their
platform as to its meaning on the
question of the tariff. Some of them
aver it means free trade and others
are equally positive it means protec-
ton. A new Convention to determine
its meaning would only complicate the
matter. The safest thing for Repub-
licans to do is to keep the Democrat is
out of power until they are able to tell
what they do mean.

The idea used to prevail that mill

the taking of human life, were the

a life taking sheriff. He hung two

The National Educational ConVen-
ton adjourned at Madison on Friday
last. 1t was one of the most success
full gatherings of educators ever
brought together in this country. 1t is
estimated that six thousand strangers
were assembled in Madison last week,
and the people of that city did them
selves great credit by making every
possible provision for their comfort
and profit. We are pleased to Ilearn
that a number of persons from this
county were present to enjoy the bene-
fits of the exercises. Unquestionably
a new impulse has been given to the
cause of education, not only in the
Northern, but also in the Southern
states. Nor is it book learning alone
that has received new encouragement;
the education of the hand, which has
been too long neglected in the schools,
received a due share of attention.

Among the Sunday sermons de-
livered in Chicago, and published in
the Inter Ocean on Monday last, is one
by Rev. DR.. Hatfield on the subject of
organizing third or distinct prohibit
ton party. DR.. Hatfield is one of the
leading Methodist clergymen in the
west. His reasoning why it is unwise
to organize third party it seems
ought to satisfy all judicious temper
ance men. Such action is delibera tie
movement to throw the interests of
temperance under the control Of the
Democratic party, which in Illinois has
inserted whisky plank in it's state
platform. The same reasons which
apply to the condition of things in
Illinois apply with equal force in
Wisconsin. 1t is a rule in morals that
actions must be judged in the light of
their consequences; every right-think
ing man must perceive that a prohibit
ton party formed from the ranks of
temperance men can have no other
effect in this state than to help the
enemies of temperance into power.
