THE CANDIDATES.

Hear what a plucky little woman of the
west says about temperance and politics.
She only gives us one side this week but as
she closes up with ''more anon" it is likely
the other will not be sighted. She speaks
what she knows. 1.-THE political track is
now open and the presidential candidates are
paced up and down before the American pub
lie. In the popular press all their points are
paraded in review saving only that there is
ominous silence touching their temperance
records.
Suppose we look at the Republican candi-
dates James G. Blaine recently proposed in
letter over his own signature to pay back to
each state its government tax on alcoholic
liquors This puts premium on the amount
of that tax in each and appeals for continu-
ance of the traffic, directly to the pocket
books of the business community. Mr..
Blaine offers wine at his table and deems to-
tai abstinence mild form of lunacy. Mr..
Edmunds sneered in open senate at Senator
Blairs national constitutional amendment,
satirized that senator's attempt to make the
use of alcoholics cause of non promotion in
the civil service, and himself freely uses and
offers wine. Mr.. Arthur is q ell-known
bon.gi0anat, and by his habits and opinions is
an opponent of the temperance movement.
General Logan's favorite scheme is to make
lne liquor lraluC support tue puDllc scnoois,
thus attempting to yoke our educational sys-
tenn in the unholiest alliance known in his
tory. Robert Lincoln, whose father pledged
in cold water the committee who announced
to him his nomination for president, is a So
cial drinker of wine John Sherman, of Ohio,
was champion of the bonded whiskey bill in
the senate, speaks soft words to liquor deal
ers always and was the quiet but uncompro-
missing enemy of the W. G. T. o., of this
state, in its great battle for constitutional
amendment. Put none but teetotalers on
guard this year. MORE ANON"
Temperance voters will have a sorry time
of it looking for virtue among politicians if
they stick to party. S. J. C. D.

COST OF THE QUEENS FAMILY.

That the country should be required to pay
f548 for the Garter fees of Prince Albert
Victor is quite monstrous; and I do not IN
derstand why it should cost e100 more to
make his royal highness a knight than was
paid last year for the king of the Neither
lands This amount is, for the most part, a
perquisite" of the dean of Windsor, who, a
young man not yet thirty-six, receives be-
sides over 60, 900 a year, with an excellent
free chapel" and 5000 year as domestis
chaplain to the queen.
The charges for royal journeys to the con-
tinent is not less scandalous for all these voy-
ages are mere pleasure expeditions. There
were twenty three charges of f4O each. The
Prince of Wales and his sons had crossed
seven times, the Duke and Duchess of Edin-
burgh five times, the Duke and Duchess of
Mecklenburg and the Duke and Duchess of
Connaught each three times, the German
Crown Princess twice, and the Duchess of
Teck, Duke of Cambridge, and Princess Bea-
trice once each. That the taxpayer should
be mulcted in the travelling expenses of the
German Crown Princess and of the Strelitz
family is really too bad but the previous
year there were similar charges for the king
and queen of Greece and the Prince and
Princess of Waldeck- Pyrmout.
1t is a mere dwelling to talk of there be-
ing "a proscriptive right in the matter, for
it was not till the present reign that the royal
family began frequently to travel abroad, and
there is no sort of analogy between the rare
journeys of the reign of George Ii and
George " and those of the royalties of the
present day. If these distinguished travellers
require private steamers at f40 a passage,
they can well afford to pay for them out of
the ample allowances which have been grant
ed by the country.-L0nd0n Truth.

THE ROMANCE OF A NEWSPAPER
OFFICE.

There was published in Lawrenceville be-
fore the war, paper called the Meas. In
1862 the proprietor, Col. J. r. Simmons,
now of Atlanta, enlisted for service in the
Confederate army, and, as a soldier did not
have much use for printing press and type,
he left the Office here in charge of Judge Ter
rell, who, on the approach of Yankees, re-
moved it out to his home in the country, and
the type and material were hid out in the
fields for safety. After the war it was gath
cred up and sold to Gainesville paper, but
it seems that all of it was not found Last
week Tom Ethridge was burning off an old
field and stump caught fire, and as it
warmed up Toms eyes glistened with new
light as he saw stream of melted silver, as
he supposed, pouring out on one side, while a
hasty glance inside presented great bars of
gold lying temptingly in the hollow. He
hastily put out the fire and got ready to take
charge of his find. But the silver turned out
to be old type that had carried the news of
the great secession movement and the open
ing guns of the great war between the states,
while the glittering gold was simply brass

ONWARD AND UPWARD,
BY RENA REAM.

oI NINA REAM.
Courage brother, do not falter,
Though thy path be rough and steep,
Thorns and briars crowd thy pathway,
Sharply pierce thy weary feet.
Linger not, with longing glances
Cast upon some tempting goal
Earthly pleasures they can neue1'
Satisfy thy longing soul.
Onward upward be thy watchword,
Couch of ease and gilded toys.
Pass them by, they're frail and feeting,
Meier will bring eternal joys.
All life's crosses, all its losses,
Seeming now so wearisome,
Like dim phantoms then shall vanish
When, at last, we're safe at home.
Heavenly home, with all its brightness,
With its beauty light and song,
Think of what twill be to see it;
What twill be to join that throng.
Courage then, and do not falter
Though thy path be rough and steep,
Thorns and briars crowd thy pathway,
Even pierce thy weary feet.

WHAT THE RUM BUSINESS is.

1t is business which is opposed to every
clergyman in the country.
1t is business which every merchant and
business man hates and detests.
1t is business which is the standing dread
of every mother.
1t is a business which makes 80 per cent.
of the pauperism for which the taxpayer has
to pay.
1t is business which makes 80 per cent
of the business of the criminal courts.
1t is a business which keeps employed an
army of policemen in the cities.
1t is a business which puts out the fire on
the hearth, and condemns wives and children
to hunger, cold, and rags
1t is a business which fosters vice for profit,
and educates in wickedness for gain.
Drunkenness comprises all other vices. 1t
is the dictionary of vice, for it includes every
vice.
Drunkenness means peculation, theft, rob-
berry, arson, forgery, murder: for it leads to
all these crimes Louisville Courier Journal.

was still alive at that date. A
telegram from Chicago, giving
an account of the tragedy,
says: Last Thursday Reginald Col
lison, a brother, arrived on II visit from
Texas, bringing his wife with him. At
the time OF the shooting he was out
walking with his brothers. two Oldest
boys. His wife was in the front yard,
| talking to Mrs. Burdick. She turned
and went into the house as soon as she
heard the shots, and almost instantly
came rushing frantically out, throwing
up her arms, screaming. Her
husband, arriving at that moment
went with Mrs. Burdick into tho
| house, and found Mrs, Collision lying
dead at the foot of the front stairway
and Mr.. Collision apparently in the same
state in an adjoining room. DR.. j. +

wound was such that she must have
