The prediction is widely copied that
there will be four presidential candi-
dates in 1888 -republican, democratic,
prohibition and labor. The fact that
no one predicts a mugwump candidate
is seized upon as proof that the mug
wump is already extinct. TO this the
Boston Herald says "The mugwumps
do not form a party or nominate a
ticket. They sit in judgment on the
other fellows. They are not political
strikers. They are political kickers.
They want no offices for themselves,
bnt they demand the best services for
the state"

HRIE LITTLE Mans !!

Three little maids from school are we,
Proper and good, as we ought to be;
The reason why you will shortly see,
Three little maids from school.
We were once "real Wild" we took the
"bun"
For mischevious pranks and daring fun,
So they put "watch" on us, every one,
Three little maids from school.
Three little maids so quick and "wary"
The best of all "watches"was necessary.
So they consulted "Spencer" of st.
JOhnsbury

But now We are all "real nice,n YOU
know,
And Away act as our "Watches" 90,
Not the least bit "fast," but by no
means "slOw,"
Three little maids from school.
From three little maids take these away,
And three little maids would be all
astray,
For we'd never be up to the time of day
Three little maids from school.
Three little maids, delightful very,
Laughing always, so bright and merry,
Bought watches of "Spencer" at st.
JOhnsbury,

The BIaine-Edmunds Episode.

If, after looking through the columns
of the CaledOnian this week, both in
side and out, the reader is impressed
with the fact that there is considerable
about the Blaine Edmunds episode at
President Arthur's funeral, he is re-
minded that this matter has been the
uppermOst one for discussion and com
ment since it occurred. There is but
seen which attempts to excuse Mr..
Blaine's conduct, and this excuse is
given on the second page. The action
of Mr.. Blaine in the house of the dead
was perfectly characteristic. He is a
man who takes strong dislikes and
prejudices and can never brook one
who crosses his path. This of itself is
not an evidence of the broadcast mind.
Trivial as this little affair seems in it
self considered, it is difficult to reckon
what may come of it. Momentous
events often hinge on just such trifling
things. 1t was one Burchard in 1884
who spoke but three words and Blaine
lost the presidency. Mr.. Blaine errs
the other way, proves that silence is
not always golden and loses a possible
opportunity to put himself in better
relations with the man, who in his own
opinion, shares with Burchard the re-
spOnsibility of the results of 1884. Mr..
Blaine Numbered badly this time.

G. w. Cable on the Execution of Law.

The people in some of the cities in
central and western Massachusetts are
very much walked up on the temper
ance question. 1t is the one thing
talked about in Springfield, Northamp-
ton, ETC., and the law-abiding citizens
are going to see if they cannot get the
law against rumselling enforced. An
unpleasant episode occurred at North
amptOn a week or two ago which
would not have happened under a less
excited state of public feeling. George
w. Cable the author, resident of that
city, was invited to address one of the
Sunday night mass temperance meet
ings. In his address he spoke in favor
of enforcing present laws and against
a prohibitOry law. He was interrupt
ed by an excited individual and the

THE FAREWELL MEETING.

Evangelist Bell at the Rink Sunday
Night-the Result tof his Yankton
Work.
The union gospel meetings conducted
by a. j. Bell of Chicago, closed Sunday
night at the highest stage of interest. A
vast crowd gathered in the rink at an
early hour and were deeply attentive
through the entire service.
MIR. Bell chose as a basis for his fare
well talk "The Harvest is Passed the
| Summer is Ended and we are not
Saved" The speaker employed many
fine illustrations and dealt in forceful
truths till it would seem that all in the
great hall must seek the salvation of
their souls without further delay,
This is evident, that il any who were
sitting before the evangelist are finally
lost they cannot accuse him of not being
faithful with them. He taught the i'm.
portance of thorough work, the necessity
of speedy action. When the invitation
was extended to all who desired to be
saved to stand, perhaps o score or more
deliberately arose. The meeting was
truly successful and nearly all present
regretted that the service must clos 9 SO
early. The evangelist has captured the
hearts of this people and should he ever
return to Yapkton, as it is hoped he
he may, he will have a royal reception.
As to the results of the revival, the
management report that there have been
between fifty and seventy-ive con.
versions. The pastors have already re.
celve6 fifty Beyond these con
versions the churches have been greatly
revived and brought into more perfect
harmony than ever, and seem o to to
ready for every good word and work
The expenses OF the meetings have beer
easily met and all the work of committees
completed with gratifying results.
