GovernOr-elect Foraker was right in declar-
ing that the liberation of election frauds in the
South would lead the Democrats to commit
similar frauds in the North. President Cleye-
land encouraged this very thing when he
pardoned Lieutenant Mullen of the Cincinnati
police force. who confessed to having COM
mitted gross election outrage in that
city last year. The frauds in Cincin-
matt this year were greater and even
more glaring. The Democrats admit the
fact, but coolly insist on profting from them.

1t is of great Importance that the next
Legislature shall not repeat the mistakes of the
last body. 1t is the only remnant of power
which the Republicans have in this State and
it should be used in way that will be entirely
creditable to the party. Had the last
Legislature made better record it would have
been worth many votes to the party. Much
depends on the organization of the two houses
and the formation of the committees. Several
candidates for President pro TEN. of the Senate
and Speaker of the Assembly are already
mentioned. 1t would be well for the members
to use great care in the selection of these
officers, and this can be done best by making
no hasty pledges.

The verdict given for the city yesterday, in a
suit for $4,000 damages brought against it by
a person who was injured by fall on an icy
sidewalk. ought to be worth something to
anybody contemplating similar litigation.
There are like suits for damages pending TO the
amount of over half million dollars. If this
sort of business were profitable it would not
take long to bankrupt the city treasury. The
CORPORATION Counsel deserves crediC for stoutly
defending such cases. They have multiplied
with suspicious rapidity within the last few
years. The city is responsible for good deal !;
but it is not able 10 control the elements.

A PITTABLE SIGHT.

A middle-aged man, vino once
moved in respectable society, was seen
to emerge from one of the city saloons,
evidently much intoxicated. His wife,
who for intelligence and womanly
|propreties, is entitled to general re-
spect, had evidently been on the look
out for him, doubtless suspecting he
was going wrong. Seeing her hus-
band come from the place where
drunkards are made, she FASTENED to
him, and, taking him by the arm, beg
ged him to go home with her. In her
extreme earnestness, she literally drag
ged him along a short distance, when
the inebriated man suddenly forced
himself from her grasp and staggered
away from her. Again and again she
made the like attempt, with entreaties
that would have moved a savage
breast, to induce him to go home
Scenes like this have probably been
witnessed on the streets of this city be-
fore, but when shall this condition of
things be changed9 The causes for
such exhibitions are tolerated by law,
ana will continue to be just so long as
a civilized and christian people permit
them. The world might be challenged
to produce man sufficiently skilled in
logical reasoning to show that the
general welfare of the community is
benefited by the allowance of single
liquor saloon.

the church from tbs state. This has
been the threatened issue Tor several
years past, but Gladstone and other
leading English statesmen have been
ANXIOUS to postpone this question, and
the time seems to have arrived when
it can be deferred no longer. The
controversy is described as a " combat
of the established church, lighting for
life against the dissenters, who are
struggling to destroy the state monop-
oily in religion The English estab-
lished church is said to be deriving i'm
mense aid from the Catholic clergy,
who. although not in fellowship with
the Church of England, take theground
that any religion is better than no re-
ligion; that the established church
has been England's greatest bulwark,
against immortality, and to save the
church from destruction is moral
duty" This position has aroused in
:ense feeling, and has had the effect to
array every clergyman to take sides in
the controversy and become an earnest
partisan.
In Scotland, where the established
hurch is Presby terrain. the question
of disestablishment is the leading is
sue. One thousand four hundred and
seventy Scotch dissenting ministers
have signed an address to ex-Premier
Gladstone, saying that they look to
him for his influence to overthrow the
state church of Scotland. These words
occur in their address: The time has
come to sever the relations between
the church and the state. Dissenting
Christians have refrained too long from
making this contest, and we now in
sist that the coming Parliament termi-
nate the unjust and injurious connec-
tion."
People on this side of the Atlantic
perhaps cannot SO fully appreciate the
merits of this controversy, yet every
reader has his preference which side
ought to prevail, and the result of the
present spirited contest will be await
ed with interest. hi

GEN. GRANT.

We have nowhere seen a higher and
more handsomely expressed tribute
TO Gen. Grant than the one below,
which recently appeared in Georgia
paper. Such sentiments coming from
the South are the more gratifying be-
cause they are the expressions of those
once in hostile array against the up
holders of the Union.
SILENT AND SUPERB CONTEMPT.
Sooner or later lie is always ex-
ploded. Take the case of General
Grant. When he began to rise in the
army his enyious rivals circulated a
report that he was coarse, illiterate,
and drunkard. President Lincoln
gave a quietus to the charge Of drunk
anness. But the notable part OF the
business is that Grant. without reply
ing to a single SANDER or invention,
managed in the course of his career to
completely vindicats himself. He

never said, 81 am not a drunkard,"
but lived SO as to show all the world
that he was sober man. He never
denied that Rawlins and others wrote
all his letters and dispatches. but let
the public gradually discover the facts.
When it was SAID that his silence was
dnllness and incapability, he never
claimed that he could make speech,
bat when the time came spoke often
and successfully in public. People
who credited him with no literary
ability found out during the last year
of the Generals life that. he resembled
Caesar in the ability to handle the pen
as well as the sword. The wonder is
not that these falsehOOds were all ex-
posed, but that the silent and superb
contempt with which Grant treated
them should have tIiumphantly re-
futed them all. There is a lesson TO
be learned by liars from the life of this
silent and patient man. No man can
be talked or written down except by
himself. Atlanta Constitution.

men, poets and philosophers have
travelled. Another road in which vast
multitudeS travel is the qualification of
luxurious living, making life's enjoy
merit to consist in the things which
crafty the appetite. In the line Of
public amuSements there has been a
superabundance of them in past weeks,
these have been travelling troupes. One
theatrical company stopped here a
week, and is said to have been above
the average in point of merit. The
skating rink, which had such a rush
many months ago. has lost much of
| its charm, and, like the Kinks in other
towns, is not likely to regain its past
popularity. Dancing parties occur at
intervals, as in past years, and appear
to have lost none of their attractive
ness.
| In the line of sober thought the
churches, although mentioned last,
might more properly have been men,
toned first. The Catholic churches
are largely attended. The Protestant
English-speaking churches are toler-
ably well patronized, but not as we'll as
they should be, in view of the many
who scarcely see the inside of church
building once year. All the Protes-
tant churches are provided with &C
ceptable pastors, except the Unitarian,
which has been without minister for
a long time. The Sunday schools of
most of the churches are efficiently
conducted, and with good results. The
church prayer meetings are well at
tended by the female members, but the
male members are delinquent general
ly. The only temperance society hav-
| ing reading room connected with it
is under Catholic auspices. Other de-
sirable institutions have been frequent
| ly suggested, but no effective measures
taken for their establishment A
Istrictly literary association is needed.
A Young Mems Christian Association
ought to be established. A Shakes
perean Circle, composed of the younger
and middle-aged people, should be
formed, with the view, if practicable,
of adding the parlor drama. This
would do much to cultivate refined
taste, and at the same time furnish in
nocent entertainment of high order.

RMEDICINAL VALUE OF FRUITS.

The Western Rural advises It's readers
to throw physic to the dogs and use
more fruit. There is nothing more pal
atable, wholesome and medicinal than
good, ripe peaches. 1t is mistaken
idea that no fruit should be eaten at
breakfast. It would be far better if our
people would eat less bacon and grease
at breakfast, and more fruit. In the
morning there is an acrid STATE of the
secretlons, and nothing is SO we'll calcu-
lated to correct this as cooling sub-acid
fruits, such as peaches, apples, etc. The
apple is one of the best of fruits. Baked
or stewed apples viii generally agree
with the most delicate stomachs and
are an excellent medicine in many cases.
Green or halfripe apples stewed and
sweetened are pleasant to the taste, cool
ing, noUrishing, laxative, far superior in
many cases to the abominable doses of
salts and oils usually given in fever and
other diseases. Raw apples and dried
apples stewed are better for medicine
than some pills. Oranges are very ac-
ceptable to most stomachs, having all
the advantages Of the acid alluded to,
but the orange juice alone should be
taken, rejecting the pulp. The same
may be said of lemons, pomegranates,
and all that class. Lemonade is the
best drink in fevers, and when thicken-
ed with sugar it is better than syrup of
squills and other nauseants in many
cases of cough. Tomatoes act on the
liver and bowels, and are much more
pleasant and safe than blue mass. The
juice should be used alone, rejecting the
skins. The small-seeded fruit, such as
blackberries. figs, raspberries, currants
and strawberries, may be classed among
the best foods and medicines. The
sugar in them is nutritious, the acid is
cooling and purifying, and the seeds are
laxative.
Wewould be much the gamers if We
would look more to our orchards and
gardens for our medicines and less to
the drug stores. To cure fever or act
on the kidneys, no febrifuge or diuretic
is superior to watermelon, which may,
with very few exceptions, be taken in
sickness and health in almost unlimited
quantities with positive benefit. But in
using them juice should be taken, ex-
Guiding the pulp and then the melon
should be fresh and ripe. 49,

own pockets, and we do not own the
road nor any share O. it. A few years
ago England wanted railway in In
dia She invited capitalists to build
it for her, and guaranteed the capital
lists five per cent. on their money.
They built the road; England has re-
presentation in its direction; she re-
ceiyes an income Of seven per cent,
pays the capitalists the guaranteed five
per cent, and the two per cent. profit
has enabled her to abolish the income
tax in India. Why cannot we do it in
America?
These three questions | leave the
readers of this article to ponder and
answer for themselves at their leisure.

CABBAGE FOR POULTRY.

Every one who keeps poultry should
provide green food for winter feeding.
There is nothing that I know of that IS
as good as cabbage, and after the first
snow falls no poultry-house should be
without one hanging in easy reach of the
fowls If you have never fed them, you
have no idea Of The difference it makes.
The fowls do SO much better, are more
free from disease, and, if kept in warm
quarters, the extra amount of eggs will
amply repay the trouble. AS rule
cabbage costs SO much that one is Tempt
ed to let them 60, especially as they adj
vance in price as the season advances.
But if you will raise what you need, and
put them in the cellar, they will cost but
little. If you raise them one year for
your poultry and feed during the entire
winter, you. will never, think, let win
ter find you unprovided with them.
Do not cut the roots off when you
gather them, as you can tie a string to
the root and suspend the cabbage from
hook or nail, and the fowls will strip it.
You are aware how much they love cab
bage if you have ever tried to raise them
in your garden. If they can get to them
they will eat them entirely up.
The first year l kept fowls my cab
bage patch looked as though the. grass
hoppers had struck it. The fowls ate it
completely up, and started for my
neighbours. was obliged to keep them
in the yards until the cabbage was out
Of the ground. made up my mind
that my fowls should have them during
the late fall and early winter. They are
to poultry what apples are to people as
a relish, and your fowls must have veg
etables if you would have them in per-
feet health. Since making green food
such large part of the regimen of my
poultry, they have been free from dis
ease, and they have repaid me amply
by the extra am cunt of eggs produced,
both summer and winter. It will pay
you to give cabbage trial.

THE SUNDAY Ia WIS.

The friends of the Sunday laws have
prospect of strong influence for their
enforcement. If the expected aid shall
be secured, there will be decided
change in Sabbath observance. At the
Plenary Council of American Arch.
bishops and Bishops in December, 1884,
in Baltimore, pastoral letter was is
sued TO the Catholic clergy containing,
among other matters, decided expires
sions in favor of the better observance
of the law regulating the keeping of
Sunday. Speaking of the Sunday Ii
quor traffic, the pastoral letter of the
Bishops concludes in the following
words:
We implore all Catholics, for the
love Of God and of country, never to
take part in such traffic, nor to coun-
tenance or patronize it; and we not on
ly direct the attention of all pastors to
the repression of this abuse, but we al
so call upon them to induce ali of their
flocks that may be engaged in the sale
of liquors to abandon, as soon as they
can, the dangerous traffic, and to en-
brace more becoming way of making
living"
The pastoral letter was sent to Rome
for tile approval of the Pope. An an
swer is now expected in few days.
and it is confidently expected he will.
affirm the action of the Council. The
Catholics of this country are very gen.
orally loyal to the voice of the church,
and with that influence the suppression
of intemperance, arising from the use
of intoxicants, will be fastened.

NECESSITY FOR NEA1NEss.

A woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various ways,
but if she is not personally neat she
can not hope to win admiration. Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern.
A young woman with her hair always
in disorder and her clothes hanging
about her as if suspended from prop
is always repulsive- Slattern is writ
ten on her person from the crown of
her head to the soles of her feet, and
if she wins husband he will turn out
in all probability either an idle fool or
a drunken ruffian. The bringing up
of a daughter to be able to work, talk
and act like an honest, sensible young
woman, is the special task of all
mothers, and in the industrial ranks
there is imposed also the prime obliga-
ton of learning to respect household
work for it's own sake, and the comfort
andIhappiness it will br ing in the fu-
ture. HouseWork isa druid gerry, but it
must be done by somebody, and had
