A Conscientious Widower.

The Pittsfield, Me-, Advertiser is re-
sponsible for the following rather pc
culiar story of a thoroughly cOnscien-
tiOus widOwer:
A man by the name of Church had
been married four times and his wives
were all buried in Il certain graveyard.
1t became necessary, ultimately, to re-
move the remains of the dear departed
to another cemetery. Church under
took the work himself, but in carrying
the remains of the sainted dead out in
a furniture cart, the bones unfortunate
ly got mixed, and when interment be-
gan even Church himself could not tell
which was Emily and which was Han
nah. After doing his. best the graves
were closed but being a strictly &C
curate man, he felt it would he wrong
to use the old headstOnes when he was
not at all certain that Hannah might
not be all under her tombstone. So,
in order to be precise, he had "A new
set made with such inscriptions as
these: "Here lies Hannah Church land
probably a part of Emily who was
born, etc, etc" "Sacred to the men,
DRY of Mary Church (whO seems to be
mixed with Matilda) who was born,
ETC., etc"
Stranger, pause and drop tear,
For Emily Church lies buried here,
Mingled in some mysterious manner
With Mary, Matilda and probably Hannah"

lowed by a look of agonized doubt, as
he evidently reflected that perhaps the
General had 'deadheaded' into the box.
Did you send him box, Robson p he
asked me, and on my replying in the
negative, he pulled card out of his
pocket, and scrubbed line on it, told
the boy to take it to the box office and
bring back an answer. The boy rush
ed off, his head full of the General,
and,returned in a few minutes with the
same card, which he handed to Mr..
Manager. A CHASTITY look crossed his
face as he read it and then without a
word handed it to me. The first line
read in the rather shaky managerial
caligraphy : Did General Grant pay
for his box p while underneath APP
peared: No. But my son Fred did.

means to be pushed. But if we insist
upon thus pledging members of the
legislature, how can we consistently
vote for general state officers who not
only make no snch pledges. but who
openly avOw their hostility to the
principle of prohibition, and whose in
fluence in the state must be very great
We are told that the only way to Sc
cure prohibition is to give the repubH
can party sufficient majority to over
come the almost solid democratic vote
against it. That is undoubtedly true
and exceedingly desirable. But how
is that majority to be given to the re-
publican party as long as its leading
men and journals are both theoretical
ly and practically opposed to prohibit
ton?
The question then recurs Has not
the time come for the managers of the
republican party to take up the cause
of prohibition in this state If party
leaders would but bravely do this, it
would be the shortest path to the sup
preston of the liquor traffic which all
respectable men desire. If they will
not do this, then temperance will
be compelled to take the longer and
more cicuitOus route of new party :;
but the end will be the same in time.
Only the republican party will have
lost its great opportunity. There is no
need of a third party in this state ex-
cept on the question of temperance
reform, and there would be no need of
it for that if the republican manage
ment would only trust itself to the
moral instead of the immoral senti-
ment of the state, and in good faith
put prohibition in its platform. Meth
er is there any need of grand hstOr-
zeal party dying of old age, of which
we hear so much, unless it fails to
meet the moral issues of the times.
There is no law of nature requiring a
party to die at Il given time. If it will
only grasp ana hold the new princi-
Piles of life which from time to time
rise above the governmental horizon,
it may live forever. What is said
about party growing old and dying
as a man dies, by law of nature, is
frivolous except upon the superstition
that it grows morally decrepit, and
then it ought to die or be regenerated.
Wise statesmen will consider these
things, and will not, like selfish poll
ticians, simply complain of popular
The truth is, there is a mighty reason
for the growing discomfort of patriotic
men in this matter, and the reasons
will multiply as the spirit of reform
grows among the people, especially if,
us in England under the Melbourne
it fails to reach the rulers.
But in the words of the English histO-
rian: "Discontent, however natural
and excusable it may be, is formidable
in politics only when it helps to swell
the strength and the numbers of a
crowd which calls for some reform, that !
can be made but is withheld. One of
the most vulgar fallacies of statecraft
is to declare that it is of no use grant
ing reforms which would satisfy rea-
demands, because there are
agitatOrs whom these
will not satisfy. Get the reasonable
men on your side and you need not
fear the unreasonable"

Public Opinion.

THE QUESTION OF THE COLORED RACE.
The issue i'm the South is not a ques-
ton of what the race wants, but of
what the individual wants and has a
right to. 1t is only question of
indiscriminative civil rights.
The universally of suffrage is what
has bred in the South a new sense OF
the necessity of public education for
all and of whatever else will enlight' n
and elevate the lower mass. Ignorance,
penury, unintelligence and the vices
that go with them, we are helping the
freedman to east off. But to cut these
loose and still lay on the downward
pressure of civil caste, is there any
consistency in this = George w.
Cable
THE ISSUES BEFORE THE COUNTRY.
We said, in beginning, that Mr..
Sherman's speech was evidently well
studied for home consumption. We
hope it was intended only for home
consumption but the fact that Mr..
Blaine's after election speech, Senator
HOar's speech at the Logan reception
and Mr.. Logan's reply were all pitched
to the same tune gives color to the
suspicion that there is purpose among
certain republican leaders to turn back
and once more make denunciatiOn of
the South the leading party issue. If
they do this they will make fatal
mistake, for the people will not toler
ate it. While the question of equal
political rights at the South will not
be lost sight of, the main issues before
the country for the next three years at
least will be civil service reform, the
tariff, the silver question, national ed
ucatiOn, clean administration - and
clean men for candidates. Brattle-
