THE way it looks to a man in the tree
is that the SANDER on Swain will act as
a boomrang, upon the instigators square
in the eye. The employment Of such
means of injuring man was 100 con-
temptible to do good, and even il there
was some truth in it, which there can
not be, it would enlist sympathy in GER
tain quarters and do Mr.. Swain more
good than harm. After the disastrous
results Of such political warfare in the
last presidential campaign, any man Of
half sense should have known that 1t
was dangerous electioneering dodge.

AN AMERICAN hospital has been estab-

subscriptions and donations aud benefits
for its endowment already amount to
over $4,000. This is 4 very laudable
cause, and a man that is not charitable

on the part Of the Knights Of Labor, APP
prOaches The hour system would be a
very effective remedy for the threatened
evils Let labor be paid by the hour,
and then men can work as many Of them
as it suits. In all classes of work where
piece work is practicable, it has been
found the most satisfactory, and the
hour work will be as near an approach
for those who cant do work by the piece,
to the piece work system, as it is posi-
bic to get, and should be satisfactory to
all hands.

CHICAGO Theatrical Managers have re-
solved to do away with the photographic
advertising as being expensive, unsatis-
factory, and in no manner repay the out
lay. They decided that newspaper adj
vertising, while being the cheapest in
the long run, was the most direct in its
returns, and satisfactory, generally.
That it was a class Of advertising that
went directly to the homes Of the peo-
pie, and consequently was desirable and
remunerative. This opinion has been
going around for long time, and it is
the constant newspaper advertiser who
secures the steadiest volume Of trade.

name is John O'Mally; residence, Dial

and whisky to great excess. To still
further mark his departure from the

give advice, moral or otherwise, 20 any

Geo. Eugene Bryson has retired from
the editorial management of the Apopka
City Budget, and announces his pur-
pose to go TO Key West. He claims that
his efforts were not appreciated. His
parting word for Jones'" OF the Times
Union, makes us smile. Jones is held
accountable for almost everything in the
State that does not go right. Hear Bry-
son:
God save Charlie Dougherty from the
two-faced, unprincipled editor to whom
he has committed the management of
his campaign"
This little paragraph is bosh. While
''sore-heads'' are growing about Jones,
Jones newspaper is steadily working for
Dougherty. We read the Times. Union
and find it earnestly and consistently
supporting the nominee of the Demo
cratic party. while some other newspa-
pers, more decidedly orthodox, are carp
ing and ault-finding at the management
of the executive committee and Jones.
Dougherty selected Jones, and Dough-
eriy Is presumed TO have some judgment
about campaign matters. We can't see
that he is in danger from the Times
Union, so long as il continues Zealously
to support him.
Give lis n rest on Jones.

Railroad Building.

The predictions made in the early part
of the year that railroad building would
be very active during 1856 have been
fully verified. During the first eight
months of the year there We're 8, 475 miles
of main track laid, which is $50 miles
more than the amount of new road CON
structed during the whole of 1885. As
the last four months of the year are the
most active season for the actual work
of track-laying, it is estimated that fully
as many miles will he constructed dur
ing that time as during the past eight
months. This would give a total of new
track laid in 1856 of about 1000 miles,
against 3, miles IN 1885. The Rat
icdy Age, from which these figures are
gathered, says that the two months since
July l have added to our record 1,.2O
miles, which indicates an average of
nearly 30 miles of new track for avery
working day. On % OF the l63 lines en-
braced in this summary work Is still in
progress, while on a very large number
of other lines on which grading has for
some time been going on, tracklaying is
about to commence.

consump,ion is much less vet the dist u

consumption is much less,yet the dist
ers' statistics show it on the increase.
But the interesting part of the pro :
ceedings of the association named, is thee
view taken by the brewers and distillers
of prohibition. They prdcftcdHy Jdro'-
al. They say that it leaves the trade
free once more, and enables them to put
on the market, aG moderate prices,
fully matured whisky, in the place OF
the mixed stuff now in use, which will
make the ''old beverage" popular
again, and largely increase its consump-
ton. The New York Sun, commenting
on this position of the distiilers, says:
It appears that neither the brewers nor
the distiIlers are at all frightened by the
prohibition movement, which now seems
TO be making extraordinary progress
throughout the Union. Prohibition
and local option, said Mr.. Henry Clau-
sen, in a report presented to the brew
er's Convention, do away with all con
troll, leaving the liquor traffic practically
as free as it would he in The absence of
any laws on the subject" According 10

twenty years" An organ of the dis.
tiilers rejoices over the experience of
Atlanta with prohibition, for since the
bars have been closed the city has suf-
fered so greatly in prosperity that the
people are crying out for a license law.
Therefore brewers and distillers make
preparations for the extension of their
business, feeling sure of a steady growth
in the demand for the Intoxicating be-
verages they manufacture.
