These be hard words, whether applied

that would be better than allowing

of these rich men to throw the burden
of taxation upon more than 100000 of
their poorer fellow-citizens. The law
would not allow defaulting. Each

whether the people could be induced

We showed that they had approved it.
You wander from the point.
8. The Supreme Court Of Appeals
did not decide that the school tax was
not "a part Of the dues to the State, y
but that the General Assembly had nc
power to provide in 1871 that that
might be paid in coupons, when the

good and evil and OF the option
No possess In the choice Of
either. IL there were no volition
there would be no accountability and
no reward. II forced to DO good, or
,ssr aimed forcibly from vice, We should
neither have merit or demerit. Only
God may ponder the heart.
It Is safest, then, to let our neighbor
alone, relying on example as the most
potent influence for good that we can
exert besides, such work does not
conflict, Is force does, with Divine
plans and laws.
Peaceful example and moral suasio1
are precious odors that we may turn
away from at our own peril. or ac,ep'
of for our lasting advantage. We cannot
be made to love goodness or to hate vice
except of our own free will and choice
and how are we to comprehend pos
sible goodness in this world except
by comparison with vice, Of which Their,
must be some or there would be no
means Of comparison left US? And IS We
can have no absolutely accurate con-
ception Of holiness, the extremes of posi-
BILE goodness or sin in man inspire our
highest impressions Of virtue Of the one
and Of the hideousness Of the other.
But we are too apt to tire in the
study of these doctrines and to resort
to short cuts to compel others to think
and actas we do. Sensible and piou'
men use no other weapon agains, vic,
but Gospel doctrines. They preach and
persuade, and such is their Divine mis-
sion. If they fail in this they trust not
in politics or their own wisdom, but tell
US they have done their duty. Waere,
then, have VIC authority for activ or

and appetites of men to regulate them
by direct or indirect meas,Nes! We
know the agitators mean well, but'they
will only see their error after a long
season of reflection. Liquor will be

it is not our only vice by a great many.

An Engineer Defends Mr.. Arthur.
To the Editor of the Dispatch

/ beg a small space in your paper to
reply to a piece in last Saturdays
Labor Herald headed "Mr. Arthur"
Mr.. Mullen says that Arthur has at last
played the card that proves him a
traitor to the workingmen. Here comes
the old adage :. Whera ignorance is
bliss tits folly to be wise." If Mr..
Mullen would take the trouble to in
quire into the history Of the Locomo-
tive Brotherhood he would certainly
know better than to attack it. The
organization dates its birth twenty-five
years back, and has made rapid strides
towards the fruition of our hopes aud
towards furnishing railroad companies
with a more proficient set Of engineers,
thereby giving the travelling public
some assurance Of a safe as well
as a speedy trip. We do not pride
ourselves upon being the inauguratorsot
strikes; nor do we wish to ever enter
tain any such ideas. Furthermore, our
adjustments have been OF the most
amicable nature between employer and
employee, and if these adjustments did
not suit Mr.. Mullen he ought to have
spoken sooner. lie is the only man in
the United States that has expressed
dissatisfaction. p. NJ. Arthur stands
above reproach ; his popularity is with
out parallel, and his friends can be
counted by the tens Of thousands. From
the humble cottage of the sons of toll
to the palatial residence Of the million
aire he is a welcome guest. To-day
Pm. Arthur, with about nineteen thou
sand followers, can shake hands with
capital across what some men would turn
into 4" bloody chasm." The Brother
hood does not wish to wage war against
the Knights Of Labor, because our inter-
ests are the promotion of labor to a
living basis. Yet we do not wish to
retain friendly relations if it is at a
sacrifice of dignity and honor. The
writer of this has been member OF the
Brotherhood for thirteen years. and for
ten years has been personally acquainted
with P. NJ. Arthur and the progress OF
the order, and to-day it stands ahead OF
anything Of the kind. Mullen says he
would not care how soon the Brother
hood went to pieces. Go ahead, Null
len. My advice to, you is, Handle Ar
thur gently, for be holds both bowers
and the little joker upon all occasions.

The Buying Of Riddiebergsr Bonds.

The Buying Of RiddIebergsr Bonds.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Some weeks ago with your indul-
gence / undertook to show in COM
munication published in the Dispatch
that the scheme adopted by the Legisla-
ture Of 1sS3-'84, and readopted by the
present Legislature at its late session,
to keep our State Treasury drained Of
the surplus money which may accumu-
late therein from time to time by using
it for the purchase Of Riddle bonds
was an injudicious, unwise, and i'm
polite measure that would and could
result in no benefit to any one but
brokers and spectators.
Colonel Ruffln, one Of the Board OF
Sinking Fund, who cannot be imagined
to have any other, or different, interest
in the scheme than that of any other
citizen, volunteered his services in the
defence Of the scheme, and in his an.
swer to "a Member" secuted the idea
that the scheme "wss dictated by
brokers and speculaters," or that il
was cunningly devised by them to
draw out the last dollar that may re-
main after paying the expenses Of the
government" &C., assigning Is q sufil.
Gent reason why they could not have
dictated or devised the scheme the fact
that "the bill was introduced by the
Hon. Henry R. Pollard, Of King and
Queen county, an honest, patriotic
public-spirited, aud clear-headed man
one Of tho very last to become the &C
complete or dupe Of brokers and specu
lators.

The Boston Herald has way of
turning upon the Republicans their own
guns. In replying to the charge of one
Of the organs that the Democrats are
engaged in wanton disturbance Of the
tariff the Herald says:
The Republican party has wan
tonly disturbed it four times within
sixteen years without either reforming
or substantially reducing it. II pro-
missed . reduction Of twenty per cent.
in the average duty, and the rate is now
higher than il was before the revision.
Il pledged itself in 1884 to correct
the inequalities Of the tariff but has
ever since resisted all attempts to cor
rect them. Why is 1t 'wanton dis
tuSbance for the Democrats to attempt
to make good the Republican promises
and to abolish needless and buIdensome
war tsxes?"
While we cannot follow the Herald
on the tariff question, there is some
thing that comes mighty near home In
what II says about war taxes.

To the Editor of the Dispatch:
Itoo have been an interested reader OF
the articles pro and con temperance in
your columns, and am surprised that
lady SO bold an advocate Of the oppo-
site side of the question should with
hold her name from the reading public.
Sailing under ones own signature in q
cause we espouse seems the only fair
and square method Of procedure, for
almost any one prefers to face an open,
avowed foe, to q hidden enemy; but
81 bring no overture Of war;" and only
desire, as woman speaking to woman,
to touch upon few points in Els arti-
Gle. How can she write so doubtfully Of
"happy homes where temperance
reigns? Surely if made so by this
great moral movement, youths ~iH be
benefited, because purer, higher state
of morals will govern those households
q government of peace, joy, sobriety,
instead of contention and strife. These
poor taxes! what mighty stumbling
block they are in the paths of many
who are willfully blind and will not see
that the money expended in drink, il
saved, would more than pay the largest
assessments.
Our friend wonders I" il the ladies
who are trying to assist the cause have
ever thought of the homes supported
by the sale of liquor? There are two
sides to every picture, and we have sor-
rowfully looked, now on this where
silks and satins fine clothe the dram.
sellers wives and children, and then we
have turned to the deSolate, despairing
side, where rags abound, and want,
misery, and darkness reign. Yes
Why should the innocent suffer; the
babies moan for bread, and poor wives,
neglected, beaten, and starved, long
for death to free them from life OF
woe? Surely it's time for the millen-
mum to dawn for them, after long years
Of weary waiting and heart breaking.
OF course fraud will be practlced the
same as of old. Do not thieving, gam
bling, and other forbidden vices exis
in the land? Yes, truly; but none o
these evils have licensed sway, and
they dare not stalk defiant throughout
the land, but must skulk under cOvel
of darkness in low alleys and dens
and SO it will be with drinker, they
will shun the bright glare of day ant
resort to scheme and stratagem to SO
cure their - tonic" If one desires II
attend meetings and lectures she cal
still do so, and look pretty, and make
home attractive, too; and if woman
has any influence whatever she can vii

her way Of thinking and voting, too
SO, dear friend, talk no more about dc

of his wiie's inclnations and you vii
soon change the current of the beer.
