WHISKEI VS.. TEMPERANCE.

The MuDicip pal Board of Farmer
vile have ordered an election to
be held in this town. on Thursday
18th inst for or against the sale OF
Intoxicating liquors.
This action of the town council
is prompted by demand Of the
whiskey men, who desire license
from some source to support them
in the violation Of a plain and
stringent law. We propose to
state our views on the Question
since it is question whether in
toxicating liquors CAN DC retaiied

A TERRIBLE EXAMPLE,.
The Scheme Against Free Lunch Raiders
Adopted by "a SalOOnkeeper and the Re-


From The Clereland PlaiHdedler
He was free lunch raider and he had
the route" down fine. He knew the
saloons where the best ''lay out" was to
be had, but very soon the saloons COM
menced to know him. He was very
easily recognized; his style of dress was
somewhat negligee; in fact, too much
abandon was noticeable about his every
day wardrobe. There was fringe on
has pants and his laundering had evil
IDENTIFY not come home for several weeks.
His chin was innocent of the touch of
razor for a month at least, and there was
a cadaverous expression about his mouth.
About noon he nearly always managed to
have a nickel, and it was at this hour that
he sauntered with unrutfe0 demeanor
into the place where free lunches are
speciality on the public square.
ga glass OF beer" he said with the air
of a millionaire; and then, as If uncon-
sciously, he stepped toward the f. |. coun~
ter. With some qualification he noticed
that new vegetables were in, and picking
up a fork he was deep in the recesses of a
dish of beans and "A tempting plate of let
tuce. There was tripe, too, he noticed
with greedy gustO, and soon three
or four pieces were speared on the
fork and disappeared like
fash behind his molars. The
barkeeper, who had watched the proceed
ings closely, now smiled fendish smile.
The raider stopped in hiswork OF destruc-
ton. A tear trembled on his storm
beaten cheeks, another followed, and soon
there was an expression Of intense won
der combined with pain. Great heavens,
he thought, could the tripe be seasoned
with vICriol or dynamite. His mouth
burned and his throat felt as if he had
swallowed a red-hot coal. Rushing to
the bar he gasped for lager while
he attempted to disguise his feel
ings. The barkeeper was slow-very
slow, and attended to other customers
lelsurely. The raiders eyes were start
ing from their sockets. He could stand it
no longer, and with dash and yell he
flew out of the place in the direction of
the public square fountain, into which he
plunged his mead and rinsed his burning
lips and throat. He rolled on the grass
and cried with agony. He called for a
doctor and shouted he had been poisoned,
but the barkeeper crossed the road and
merely remarked:
He's a lunch raider, and l guess he
amt used to eatin' cayenne pepper by the
pound"
The crowd tumbled.

A Nohammedan Tradition.

In the Kaaba, the most ancient
and remarkable building of the great
Mosques at Mecca, Is preserved
miraculous stone, with the print Of
Abraham 8 feet impressed upon it.
1t is said, by Mohammedan tradition.
to be the Identical stone which served
the patriarch as a scafold when he
helped Ishmael to rebuild the KaAbA
which has been originally constructs
ed by Seth, and was afterwards de-
stroyed by the deluge. While Abra-
ham stood upon this stone it rose and
sank with hIm as he built the walls
Of the sacred suitee. The relic is
said to be a fragment of the same
gray Mecca stone of which the whole
builiing is constructed, in this re
spect Offering from the fam lus black
stone brought to A brahAm and Ish-
nael bv the angel Gabriel, and built.
into the northeast corner of the eX-
terror wall of the Kaaka. which is gem
orally supposed to be either meteo-
rite or fragment of volcanic basAlt.
It is supposed TO haye been originally
jacinrh of dazzling whiteness. but
to have been made black as ink by
the t0uch of sinful man, and that it
can ONLY recover its original purity
and brilliancy at the day of judge
ment. The millions Of kisses and
touches impressed by the faithful have
worn the surface considerably; but in
addition TO this, traces of cup~shape
hollows have been observed on it.
! There can be no doubt that both the
relics associated with Abraham are
of high antiquity, and may p.'ssibly
have belonged 70 the prehistoric wor.

site long before the followers of the
I Prophet had set mp their shrine there.

What Is the parp7 1t certainly ia
not mere combination of selfish in

than that.
A party is All association Of men

Whenever il * less than that il IS
counterfeit. But who shall determine
that purpose? Not one, nssuredly,
but all. AS all cannot agroe, it ioI-
lows that the majority must decide.
That this decision will in the long run
be right, is the fundamental doctrine
Of the Americans creed.
Now and then conventions pre-
tending to represent tho people will
be corrupted aud fail to reflect their
will. In such case it is the right and
duty ofa democrat TO boit--b0lt %
the people But, inasmuch as it Is 50
easy to charge fraud, and the tOmpta-
tion so great to those who are defeat

should but b rarely asserted. The
majority should rule. But when
convention Of representative is fraud

missioned to represent, bolt to that

For these rea Suns the American has
insisted that there should be Rn honest

whatever it may be, the American
will abide. If the petty, selfish fac
tions that are resolved to rule or ruin

the American aud the straight demo-

note dated July 4th of the same

A curious coincident connected with
the printing of this supplement by
