bases all action on the just plane Of

practice, but with high appreciation
of the dignity of the law, he aspires
to administer it with view to secur-

securing his counsel in county mat

his frown feared, for excluding per-
sonal inclinations he will execute the
law with the sole view of its bearing
on the case, recommending what is
right and Just. On these recon-

strong one. The wisdom OF the
nominations will be demonstrated at
the polls in November.

Congr essional Ticket.
The Ticket.

The ticket nominated by the Re-
publicans Of the county in conven.
ton Monday, is one that will receive
the support of the entire party, and
the high personal character OF the
nominees commands the respect OF
members of all parties. Any charges
of un6tness for the respective Offices
must be considered hypercritical by
conservative men of all political
creeds. They are all representative
men of the county, and men who, be-
sides their unquestionable qualifica.

personal friends. Mr.. Chas. H. Vail,
the nominee for Clerk, came to the
convention with his nomination ce-
ded, although his appearance as a
candidate was dated but fortnight
prior to the assembling OF the con-
vention. The proposition Of his
name met with a quick response of
approval in every locality, and he is
without doubt the best choice the
party could have made of a man to
wrest the Office from our political
opponents. Mr.. Vail is a prosper

He is enjoying the best years of his

as to give the Office his best efforts

prising and upright young men.
He is prominently connected with
the business interests of the town,

tory to reflect that while the cost of
prisons in 1870 was f456,000, it was in
1884 only f3S1, 400. If progress contin-

1t is an old saying, though probably
not older than the era of Howard, and
not accurately true one, that the worst
use you can put man to is to hang
him. 1t is becoming more and more
evident that the worst way to crush
crime is to crush the criminal. Yet

were actually executed, in a single
year, out of population of eight and
half millions; and two centuries be-
fore that 800 persons were hanged in a
single year out of population of less
than five millions. Since the abolition
of capital punishment except for the
crime of murder, which was one of the
effects of the Reform bill of 1882, the
number of executions has averaged
twelve year, and has once fallen as
VOW as four. Yet we do not hear that

the phrase ''rotting in jair' was no emp

FOR A TIN WEDDING.

Though far away on your festal day,
BE sure shall stepin,
But least In song, to Join the throng
Bearing its gifts of tn
Friends and companions new and old,
Neighbors, and near OF kin,
Hearts tried and true. all wishing you
Long life and plenty Of tinl
Long life is good, but many conclude
1t isn't worth pin
Without enough of the precious stun
We symbolic as tin.
A quantum of bread, with may be Q spread
or butter, not too thin,
Must be had somehow, but 1t can't you'll al
without tribute of tin.
30 Pater Famil, who expects to fill
The household barrel and bin
With daily supplies, must endeavor likewise
To line his till with tin.
For leisure, culture and cheerful days
To take your ease in your inn,
Cross lands and seas, ard do things like
these
You certainly must have tin.
To this some lines, we owe the rhymes
Which needy poets spin
And teachers will teach, and preachers will
The better, I'm told, for tin.
Genius must have its share; for even
Columbus TO begin
The grandest of trips must furnish his ships
With good Castilian tin,
And every one knows what a flood of woes
And troubles, up to the chin,
Surely besets the mortal whose debts
Are more than his store of tin.
And alas! for the proud, romantic youth
Who nowadays would win
a prudent bride. yet can not provide
The needful box of tinl
The champion of his fellow.men
Your modern paladin,
Must right their wrongs with the power
that belongs
To righteous use of tin.
In short, whoever would be man,
And not mere manikin,
Through the thick of the fray must cleave his
way
With weapons of toll and tin.
Yet, though it may load their shelves with
Their tables with terrapin,
There's rare bird which not even the rich
Can catch in cage of tin!
And, Oh my friendsl in the river of life
Are fishes of finer fin
Than ever man took by hook or crook,
With q shining bait of tin!
j almost envy the pous and poor
Bare-fOoted cHpuchin,
Who wanders about the world without
The bothersome burden of tin.
Good children, modest and well-behaved
Who never make any DIN;
Good service, good sense and little pretense,
In those who earn our tin;
Hope, happiness-ah, so many things
That are, or might have been!-
A heart of truth, and the dreams of youth,
Can not be bought with tin.
Yet tin, as say, is good in its way,
And it causes me huge chagrin
That can not be there tonight to share
Your festival of tin.
But may be there in the mellow glare
OF gas or of paraffine,
Amid the bright throngs, bringing flower
and songs,
And treasures of glittering tin;
When the tales have been told, and the sobe
and old,
And young folks all a-grin,
Have honored the lays of your poets in prais
OF the mystical feast of tin
Some voice, in pause of the songs and al
plause,
0fpiano and violin,
AT just the right time, may ring in this rhym
That I've set to the tinkle of tin.
