WHAT ARE WE TRYING TO Do7

Are we trying to put stop to
the sale of liquor or to legalize it?
During this term of court enough
indictments were found against
two of the whisky men to swell the
number of indictments against
them to 79. The parties were
brought into court and plead not
guilty to each charge and
were convicted and fined $50
in each case, the lowest
possible fine for selling liquo,
without license; the fines and cost
amounting to nearly $4,000. They
plead insolvency and asked that
the fine be commuted to imprison-
ment, and they were thereupon
sentenced to 25 days in jail for
each misunderstanding 1000
days for the one and 975 days for
the other. Now let us see what
we get out of it. The prosecuting
attorney gets So on each indict-
ment or 1895; the Circuit clerk gets
about So ON each or 1895; the
sheriff, who has nearly all the
work to do, gets 81 for each or
about $50; the cost of boarding
them is so cents per day each,
which amounts to S9S7.50, if they
serve out the sentence; the poor
tax payer gets--to foot the bill; the
gets-00. The fees in the
above cases are sure, for if the far
mers have a good crop next year,
they will be able to pay them. Now
are we trying to stop the sale. of
liquor, legalize it, or run big bill
of costs ON the county, which the
tax payers will have to meet? We
pause for an answer.

Special Correspondence.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Dec. Ia, '95
A recent issue of the CONGRESS
sIoNAL RECORD, contained twenty
five pages of nominations sent to
the senate since the opening of the
session representing the cases of
about 1900 offensive partisans, :"
and all, it must be presumed, in
the line of civil service reform. It
is safe to assume that the name of
the Colorado horse thief, nor that
of the Hazelhurst post master, is
not included in the imposing list.
1t shows, however, that the coun-
try must have been fearfully af-
fiicted with offensive partisiansl
But jesting aside, it is not proba-
bic that any serious opposition
will be made to the appointments,
except in cases of absolute unfit
ness.
The actual work of the session,
so far, may be summed up in a
very few words. The Senante has
re-enacted the Hoar bill providing
for the presidential succession, but
its fate in the House is still in
some doubt. In the latter body
propositions are now pending, pro-
posing that second Vice Presi-
dent be elected, his service only to
be required in case of the death or
disability of either or both of the
first officers; another suggestion
is to make the Offices; ofthe electors
permanent for 4 years, SO they can
meet any emergency in the execu-
tiveofice, These conflicting meas
ures may possibly delay a settle
ment of the. vexed question as to the
succession.
The adoption of the Morrison
rules by the House, threatens to
precipitate regular row between
the two wings of the revenue re-
formers in that body. Randall of
course understands that any
division of the enormous powers
of his old committee, will weaken
his influence, as the change was
intended to do, and it is not in his
nature meekly surrender with
out a fight. He now threatens to
revive the former attempt to give
the president power to vote GER
tain portions OF the appropriation
bills, as a final effort to get even
with his free trade enemies. But
as this would be to practically con-
fer Legislative functions upon the
executive, it is not likely that such
measure can be passed. Never
theless a row is certain, unless for
the sake of party harmony, and
the spoils, truce can be patched
up. We shall see what we shall
see.
In view of the vast interests
claiming already in the capital,
and ready to besiege congress with
all sorts of jobs, and of the great
questions waiting to be presented,
it is safe to predict one of the most

The Adair County Auxiliary
Bible Society met in the Presby-
terian Church at IL a. m. to cele-
brate its nineteenth anniversary,
the President, Rev. w. P. Mason,
in the chair, and the several
churches of the town uniting in
the services.
An invocation was offered by
Rev. Edmund Wright, Of st. Louis
the District Superintendent for
Missouri. :.
After the rendering OF an anthem
by the choir, the President up
pointed w. J. Brasfeld, Judge
Lewis, Judge Erwin, c. W. Fow-
Ter, Mr.. Burt and J. U. Barnard to
nominate officers for the ensuing
year. The proceedings OF the last
annual meeting together with
those Of the several meetings of
the Executive committee since that
date were read, followed by the
reports of the Depositary and
Treasurer.
The choir and congregation sang
from Gospel Hymns, "The Light
of the World is Jesus" The nine
teeenth Psalm was then read by
| Rev. w. J. Martindale, and the
congregation was led in prayer by
| Rev. j. B. Mitchell, after which
Gall Hail the Power of Jesus
Name" was sung by the choir and
congregation,
| A deeply interesting discourse
was delivered as per appointment
of the Executive Com. by Rev. W
J. Martindale, from the first clause
of Heb. 4:12; topic, ''The Power o
Gods Word in Moulding Charac
ter and Shaping Destiny"

WEAKNESS OF MEN.


Some men can never be driven
so far away that yon cannot call
them back, 1t is not a spirit of
forgiveness that induces them to
act 80, but servile, menial nature,
that delights to fawn at the feet of
a master. How often do we see
men one day abusing fellow man
and the next month or year his
strongest advocate. The phrase,
wrath can be bought off" has al
most become household-word.
Shrewd, INSCRIPTIONS politicians
take advantage of this weakness in
their fellow man, and use it to
their advantage. IL an official has
played the part of tyrant during
his term of office, and aspires to
reelection, he has only to begin a
few months in advance of election
to call about him those, who come
at his bidding. They hear their
masters voice and come crouch
ing to his feet. The very man who
has been branded as a tyrant and
corrupt official has suddenly be-
come and excellent fellow. They
have not only forgiven but for
gotten, and instead of keeping the
vow to relegate him to the shades
of oblivion, they are willing to
help give him new lease of pow
er, and continue his reign OF
tyranny through another term Of
years. Why will men SO soon for.
get the wrongs they have suffered
and give the same parsonage thu
power to infict them anew OF
themselves o1.tyrannize over others
"To err is human, to forgive il
) divine" and yet to forget is foolish
We can only account for thi
strange forgetfulness on the theor,
that some men love the maste
, who spurns them. Their memorie
: are bad or they would remem
