The House of Representatives has
passed a bill providing definitely for
counting the electoral votes of the sew
eral States for President and Vice
President. The most important feat
ure of the bill is one which enables any
State to determine and declare, Judi
cially or otherwise, who have been
chosen electors therein. Such deter
mination and declaration, if made at
least six days before the date fixed for
the meeting of the electors, is
to be regarded as binding upon Con-

Touch not the sparkling bowl,
Taste not its waters bright: 4

Its magic can't be told,
Yet death lies hidden there.

Touch not the sparkling bowl;
Twill poison with its breath; s
Beneath Its surface roll
The seeds of strife and death. (
Touch not the flowing bowl,
But spurn it as your foe:
With grief twill fill thy soul
And strew thy path with woe.
Touch not the drunkard's bowk
I've drank it to its dregs,
And now my inmoSt soul

And shout Cold Water King.

A Way to Express Revolt.

Workmen in the old world used to
overturn the carriages of the rich, as a
protest, in part, against the uneven
ness of things. "Why should the
rich ride, while the poor man must
walk ON his sore. weary feet?" Even
in prosperous America carriages have
been SINH arly attacked, simply because
somebody was able to ride in them.
The revolt is against the wrong parties.
When any class of citizens absorbs
wealth from another without giving an
equivalent, it is just to demur. No
men in society. aid under the guise of
business" absorb more cash and re-
turn so little, save in the way q oalam-
ity. as do the retail liquor merchants,
called sa!oon-keepers If working
men object to the physical happiness
and com .ort of anybody, these birds of
prey would seem to be the ones to sug-
gest protest The best way in which to
express revolt against unjust distribu-
ten OF prosperity is in Withholding
patronage from them. The better,
plan is to save dollars for food, cloth
ing, home, and blessing for wife and
children. Let Mr.. Saloon-keeper ride,
at his own expense. m W. Christian
