THE point reasonable temperance men make is that
prohibition is impracticable and attempt at prohi

down the number of Saloons which makes it easier

be perfectly proper for Dr. Leonard to demand
joint debate if he would consent to occupy
his true position and to defend the policy of
that party Of which he is the abettor. The
political Prohibitionists of Ohio, unmindful of
the past services Of the Republican party in
the direction Of temperance legislation and Of
Democracys implacable hostility to prohibi-
ton and even high license, parade the choice
they have made, and proclaim their in

said and done while these impracticable
men are wearing the mask Of prohibition.
Friends of sobriety and temperance cannot
afford to indulge in spite work, such as char

the Ohio Prohibitionists. Judge Foraker
cannot consent to debate irrelevant issues
without stultil ing himself, nor can he afford

Just twenty lone years ago tomorrow the first
federal shell fell and exploded within the limits
Of Atlanta 1t was miserable little six-pounder,
but it whistled, and screamed and swished
through the sultry air. and kicked up dust and
made the most Internal fuss imaginable There
was city full of pale-face women and children

promptly put to work digging bomb-proofs. The
first shell hurt nobody. The old soldiers who
crowded the streets laughed at it, The mer-
chants locked up their stores and struck for
home, where they told their wives that there was
no danger, and that we were Just drawing old
Sherman on" 1t is needless to say that we con-
tinued to draw him on" For the next six
weeks the shells rained in here so hard that the
streets soon became Uttered with old iron.

surprised at Postmaster Jones for putting
Democrats in the postofice. This is singular

WOMEN continue to be arrant deceivers. and
the degree to which their deceptons has been
carried is positively astounding to guileless
mankind. Take recent pie: The guests,
and especially the male guests. at Seaside Park,
Conn, have been regaled for some weeks nast
by the stunning turnout Of an even more stun
ming lady, tacitly believed to be widow, and
possessed of great beauty of face. But this was
not ALL nor even Ler chief claim for masculine
consideration. Riding down the beach in low
carriage, she made practice of displaying q
most engaging pair Of feet. beautifully
small and daintly shod in blue kid
boots, One day, when drawn up in the
park listening to a band, her carriage was
dashed into by an ungoYernable horse, when. as
might be expected she gave womanly Shrek
and jumped from the vehicle. A moment
more and it was noticed that the beautiful feet
remained il the carriage, as demurely poised as
before, but coming to a sudden and unsatisfac-
tory stop at the top of the boots They were
very pretty, but they were dummies-nothing
more. The widow disappeared.

The Mania for Grant Relics,

Saratoga Letter,
It is strange how insane some people become
in their chase after relics. When General Grant
came up to Mount McGregor he refused to
occupy a specially-cushioned seat that had been
prepared for him. He insisted upon occupying
an oaken chair with cane seat and back. The
chair was an old one, and very much soiled by
constant use in the baggage car. And yet the
conductor tells me that he does not dare to take
his eye away from that chair lest some new at
tempt to steal it will be successful. 1t seems
that many attempts have been made already.

PltIsOuTR ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
The administration evidently feels tho neces-

anxious asprants from participation in the
spoils. l. is probable that the line will be drawn
at dog stealing, and any Democrat who has been
tried convicted and punished for that offense
will be beyond the pale of official favor. 1t has
been discovered that Jerry Mulroy, appointed to
a place in the Cincinnati custom house. belongs
to the prescribed class and it seems likely that

THE question now presents itself, where
shall the Nations dead hero be buried? The
Claims" of his two homes-his former one al
Galena and his last one in New ! ork city-are
Grant at Galena is not to be thought Of His
burial place must be in better range of the
public, which in the years to come shall make
pilgrimages to his tomb. Nor does it seem
fitting that he should be buried in
any Of the great cemeteries of New
York city. The Nation will we think,
coincide with what appears to be the wish OF
the family of the illustrious dead, and in
which he acquiesced when the subject was
presented to him, that the internent should
be made at Washington, the capital of the
country he so signally served. The only con
dition he imposed upon his son, to whom he
committed the matter, was that he should be
placed where his wife could be laid beside him
when she should die. This could easily be
complied with anywhere almost. It is
peculiarly fitting that the remains OF
the Nations great soldier and illus
trious citizen should find a resting place
at the Nations capital Already city OF
monuments, another could be added TO the
name and fame of Ulysses S. Grant There
visitors from all parts Of the country could
pay tribute to his memory. Buried at New
York, there would be no particular significance
in it; but at Washington, in the heart of the
Nation whose life he saved, would be the
right place. There let the ashes of the peo-
pies dead be taken for sepulture, where the
monument that shall mark his last resting place
may rise near that of Washington and within
sight of the capitol Of a reunited people that
must ever recall with gratitude the great
deeds Of this quiet, modest man. Out of the
chaos of war he delivered the people, and in
peace his patriotic life reunited them in closer
bonds than they had ever known. In the Ma
TONS beautiful capital, so rich in national
history, let the body of the dead soldier be
laid to rest. His memory is the peoples heri-
tage; his glory in war and in peace the peo-
pies source Of national pride.
