IT is well to have good neighbors.
A man who has a neighbor on whom
he can always rely; one who is even
willing to assist; one who will always
speak words of praise, and often gives
q word of cheer and consolation when
business is dull; or the crops a failure;
or loss of some valuable animal; or
in case of bereavement of loved one -
this is rare and valued neighbor and
friend. The man who processes to be
your friend and never gives a word Of
praise of good deeds done, or how
manfully you struggle against adver.
sity, never lifts hand, or offers a
word of encouragement, is no neighbor.
You want no man who is ever willing
to pounce on your errors and mistakes
and gossip them around the neighbor
hood. Beware of such a neighbor
Have no care for a man who entilates
your mistakes and is dumb about
your virtues. Always speak well o
your neighbor, or say nothing

THERE ought to be and should be
general feeling shown by corporations,
who enjoy all the privileges Of the
State in which they operate, to treat
their employees, as individuals or pri-
vate firms their work people. The
Baltimore and Ohio Company deserves
high praise for what it is doing for its
employees. It does not only pay its
current wages, but it keeps alive a
relief association which cares for the
sick, and make ample provision in case
of death for thea employees family
This is an example for other corpora,

and proyident, corporate monopoli"'
would not be so intensely unpopular

THE ISSUE.

THE ISSUE.
The election is over, the smoke of the
battle is disappearing, and as the at.
mosphere clears up. we can see stand,
ing forth in glazing prominence one
representative and distinctive fact,
which it becomes the friends of person
al liberty to heed and keep prominently
in mind. This fact is that there is a
National Prohibition party organized
in this couhtry, which is bent upon car
ryihg forward the temperance agitation
to the bitter end. The party which
voted for.St. John for president means
business. 1t is enlisted for the war
and the fluctuations Of presidential
campaigns are mere subsidiary Incl
dents of its grand crusade. 1t has en-
listed in.its behalf several great relig-
ious organizations with their Sunday
schools and their attendant swarm of
fanatics, and While the more conserva-
tive of these organizations stand firm
against. the inroads of frenzied agita-
;tions and morbid zeal; the fanatic at
churches with their powerful discipline
constitute d political power.
Outside the Democratic and Republi-
can parties, and to a certain extent in
dependent of either, this party of pro-
hibition looms up Xix a cloud in. the no.
rizon of personal liberty: Whether it
shall assimilate the Republican party
itself, or proceed regardless thereof, is
a question for the future to decide; but
the principle of prohibition has a dis
tinctive organized embodiment, and is
now and henceforth a, political entity,
which cannot in.the future be linked
or lodged. Let;it then be understood
that the battle for freeddm and right
in the part Of these who desire to up
hold personal liberty il this land, has
just fairly opened. The issues are
clearly made. Prescription stands de-
tiant claiming to WELD the sceptre over
mems consciences, over 5heir thoughts,
over their tastes, over their incomings
and out~goings-in il word claiming all
that and.even more than the Round
head Puritans of England claimed in
that era,of fanaticism whose wave OF
fren2y,swept to destruction q republic
founded with the best ST intentions,
and lett acorrupt monagchy in its place.
There can be in this var no middle
groind. Parties must atltpt themselves
to the situation, and st@nd or fall As
thew enlist in the cause of liberty or
