How he got the Woodchuck.

Mr.. Chauacey Depew's short and
witty speech at the Blaiue reception i'm
Hartford ended with an anecdote In
which he said embraced all the argu-
ments and issues of the campaign.
Near to his home i'm New York man
caught woodchuck which the boys
were after, and which he promised TO
give to the boy who gave the best ac-
count of his politics. The first boy
said he was a republican. Whyl Be
cause the republican party saved the
Union; because il never fired on the
flag; because it freed the slaves; be-
cause it maintained the public inter
est, reduced the public debt and made
the Nation the first in prosperity in
the world. The'next boy said he was
a greenbacker Why2 Because if that
party came in it would pint paper
money enough so that every man, wo-
man and child would have pocketful
of il and that was what he wanted
The next boy called up said me was a
democrat
"And why are you a democratl"
Because ! want the woodchuck !"

Monthly Meeting,


The Temperance Society" held its
monthly meeting Mt Christian Chapel,
near Iron Hill, on Saturday evening, Sept.
81. After singing and prayer the Rev.
DR.. Valandigham, of Newark, delivered
Il sound and able address upon the Prohi-
bition of tho Liquor Traffic. Prohibition,
lie said, being the easiest, most radical,
and only effective way TO deal with this
dire evil. 1t should be prohibited because
it is great national disgrace. As no
foreign nation would be permitted to
strike down, insult or imprison our free
citizens, nor involve us in trouble and
misery, so no domestic evil should be
allowed to do it. 1t ought to be pro-
hibited because it is a great national
expense. It costs the tax payers i'm
mense sums because it compels them
tosupport penitentiaries and alms-houses.
II takes the money from man and re-
turns him no equivalent for when rum
is drank il can do the driuSer no good
nor afford him any real pleasure, The
rum traffic carries poverty and ruin in its
track and leaves pot trace of good. 1t
ought to be prohibited because 1t is a
most prolific source of crime. Ask the
man on the gallows how he came there
and no will tell you that rum first started
him cn his downward road. A large ma
iority of all crimes committed can be
traced to the influence of alcoholic drinks.
These, then, are three important rea-
sons why the liquor traffic should be the
subject oil control by legislative enact
ment.
Objections are made, but they are with
out foundation. To say that it is uncon'
stitutional is to assert strange principle
of law. No one denies the right OF
State to prohibit it's citizens from doing
anything that is detrimental to the public
veal: and even the individual must be
protected. No man is allowed, in many
States. TO charge an exhorbitant rate o.
interest because it is unjust, Then mos
assuredly q man may be prohibited from
taking his neighbours money and return
ing no equivalent but instead that which
poisons his body and drags his soul down
to death. Others say that moral suasior
alone should DO employed against grea
| moral evil. But as much as temperance
| societies and individuals have done tt
check tho ravages of rum, they arc pow
orless TO control certain phases OF it
| They may labor in vain to persuade tn
| moderate drinker to leave his cups betor'
| il is too late. He is almost sure to so OF
to ruin. They caunot bring back the hap
| itual drunkard to tho paths of rectitud
and temperance. They cannot by mora
force persuade tho rumscller to give u
his neIarious business. Legal prohlbltlo
is the only way to eloctually deal WI!
this great question. Prohibition senu
mont Is growing rapidly and we may mop
soon to SEQ its glorious fruits.

| urday evening, Oct. Goth,
