The New Age is rs untruthful about
the election as usual. As an example of its
untruthfulness it states that Il. w. Black
democratic candidate for County Attorney,
ran 400 ahead of his ticket in the county.
The facts are Edwards vote in the coun-
ty was 4l4l; Ladd's vote democratic
candidate for Congress) was 1889; Blacks
vote was 4l29. Black ran 1870 votes be-
hind Laid. although he covered the
county with circulars begging votes for
himself. These figures don't lie, as those
OF the New Age do. And it has scores
of statements as untruthtul as the one
about Black.

The New Age said to its democratic
friends in its last issue before election
"Wade in, force the fighting all along the
line, and victory is assured" The dem
ocrats came out of the fight with their
candidate tor Governor running $4,000
behind the republican candidate for Gov
ernor. and the New Age says in its issue
since the election The democracy have
reason to be proud of the fight they have
made" We do not think they have rea-
son to be proud of their prophet or the
falsehoods he places before them in his
paper.

1.-The returns from Maine tell their own
story and confirm the Interpretation which
we were forced to make of them yesterday
No sensible and patriotic man. not carried
away bv partisan feeling, can deny that the
republicans are likely to give the State a
better government on the whole than the
democrats would have given it. The Demo-
crats of Maine are not. on the whole, lovely
lot. They are intensely partisan; they stick
to bad leaders as closely as they do to good
ones, and rather more closely; they are mar
row and backward, and, as party. not
very scrupulous. 1t is well for the State on
these general grounds that they are defeated.
1t Is we'll, also, that the republican Congress
men are elected. 1t lie, on the whole, strong
delegation, and much better than that propos-
ed BY the democrats of whom the notorious
Garcelon was one"

The First Constitution.

OF the first written constitution on
record, formulated by the towns of
Hartford, Wethersfeld and Windsor,
Conn, Mr.. Henry C. Robinson says
in historical address delivered re-
Gently: "On the l4th of January
1859, all the free planters of the colo
ny convened at Hartford and pre-
pared the first American constitution,
and it may fairly be called the first
written constitution of history that
was adopted by the people. We can
do no less than pause moment and
do homage to this great historical
event. We honor the limitations
upon despotism which are written on
the twelve tables; the repressions of
monarchical power in magma chdrta,
in the bill of rights and in that whole
indefinable creation, as invisible and
intangible as the atmosphere, but,
like it, full of oxygen and electricity,
which we call the British constitu-
ton. But in this, our Connecticut
constitution, we find no limitation
upon anarchy, for monarchy is I'M
recognized; the limitations are upon
the Legislature, the courts and the
executive. 1t is pure democracy act.
ing through representatives and i'm.
posing organic limitation. Even the
suffrage qualification of church mem
bership, which was required by oul
older sister colony of Massachusetts
was omitted. Here, in a New Eng
land wilderness, in the heart of q
winter, a few pilgrims of thepilgrims
alive to the inspiration of the com
mon law and of the British constitu
ton, so full of Christianity that the!
felt the great throb of its heart of hu
man brotherhood, and so full of Ju
daism that they believed themselve
in some special sense the people o
God, made a written constitution t
be asupreme and organic law for thei
State. Two hundred and fifty year
, have passed and despotism is hidin!

The Restlessness of Old Age.
PHILADELPHIA Call,

Philadelphia Call.
Those who have been much with
the aged, have observed in them a
chatting against the infirmities of their
years, which expresses itself in rest
lessnessand adesire for change. They
grow weary of the inactivity which
has succeeded the busy time when
they bore the heat and burden of the
day, and so, sometimes they wander
here and there, dropping in to visit a
FRIEND or talking with a chance ac-
quaintance, trying thus to while
away the tedious hours. In mistaken
kindness and unkind affection, we
often Cypress dear, aged people by
our very care. They dislike super
vision. The tender watchfulness
which to us seems due to their physi-
cal feebleness, as well as for a fit re-
turn for their care for us in earlier
days, is by them resented as restraint.
1t annoys them. Then, too, we try
to take all the work out of their
hands, and that they don't like. No
body who has been active and useful,
enjoys the feeling of being laid on the
shelf.
Grandfather's step is uncertain and
his arm less vigorous than of old but
he possesses rich treasure of expert
ence, and he likes to be consulted. 1t
is his privilege to give advice; his
privilege, too, at times, to 60 into the
work with the youngest, renewing
his youth as he keeps bravely up
with the hearty men not half his
age.
Grandmother does not want to be
left outof the household work. When
the days come around for picking
and preserving, and the domestic
force is pressed into service, who Sc
eager and full of interest as she? II
is cruel to over-rule her decisions, to
put her aside, because she will be
tired" OF course she will be tired
but she enjoys the fatigue, and rests
the sooner for the thought that she is
still of some use in the world.
To those whose homes are honored
by the presence Of an aged parent
we would say, deal very gently with
those who are on the down hill Of
life. Your own time is coming to be
where they are now. You, too, are
stepping westward" Soothe the
restleSsness of age by amusement, by
consideration, by non-interference
and by allowing plenty of occupation
to fall into the hands that long for it
Only let it be of their own choosing
and cease to order them as if they
were children. A hoary head at 6
fireside is a crown Of glory to the
house in which it dwells. The bless
ing of the aged is as a dew on thu
pasture, as the falling Of sunlight OF
a shadowy place.

Is it worth anything to enjoy good
health, to have a good appetite, and
to sleep well? If all these things are
worth anything, you can secure them
almost for the asking. We know
from long experience that this state
ment is true, but we also know that
few will accept it as truth. Nothing
but actual experience in the use of
Parsons Pills could bring person to

Parsons Pills were a wonderful
discovery, and there are none others
like them in the world. The infor-
nation contained in the wrapper
around each box is worth many times
the cost of a box of Pills. Weuse the
purest drugsto befound in the known

Story Of a SNOWFALL.

Who, that as boy has helped to
make a big SNOWFALL, can forget the
delight of it? The fun was increased
tenfold after added weight and vol
ume made it necessary tostrain every
muscle and summon all ones
strength, to get it over. With each
push then, it grew so much larger,
made so much wider track in it's
roll, that it was worth while to COM
bine both work and play to attain re-
suits.
We are reminded Of this by the fact
that the Advertising Agency of Ed
win Alden g. Bro, through the APP
plication of much the same determi-
nation and energy to the pushing of
their business that the boy gives to
the ball, has been forced to remove to
more commodious quarters than their
late ones at the Cor. 5th and Vine
Sts., Cincinnati. They are now on
Fourth street, Cincinnati's principal
thoroughfare, where they occupy
three floors of large building, in
stead of the two they previously
filled.
Brains are always in the highest
story, and of course the newspapers
have the top floor. If there is any
variety in the display of brains used
in newspaper work, it can be readily
discovered here among the $4,000
newspapers occupying this floor.
The floor below, theprinters divide
with the Checking Room, and find it
not too large for the busy corps con-
nected with each depastment. In
still another department, the Ameri-
can Newspaper Catalogue is prepar-
ing its wardrobe for the debut in the
summer.
Down another flight of stairs, and
/
we reach the pleasant quarters of the
members of the firm; the desks and
cordial greetings of the solicitors; the
clerks of the Order Department, with
their never-resting pens and pencils,
and piled-up mail-baskets; the click
of the type-writers; the big enclosure
over which can be seen the intent
faces of the bookkeepers and cashiers;
and off in the corner, the electrotype
room, where one catches glimpses of
cuts and boys, which seem, some
times, mingled in ineXtricable confu-
sion.
1t is a big SNOWFALL that has grown
out of a very small beginning made
about twenty years ago, and it is not
much wonder that nearly every news
paper advertiser in the United States
likes to help push, and that the pub
fishers all over the land do not dis
dain to lend, each of them, little as
sistance in the pleasant work.
We wish Edwin Alden d Bro,
most cordially, the highest success in
their new quarters. We understand
that their New York headquarters
still remain at 140 Nassau Street.

THE FAITHFUL ENGINEER.

Life is like crooked railroad,
And the engineer is brave,
Who can make trip successful
From the cradle to the grave.
There are stations all along it,
Where at almost any breath,
You'll be tagged" to stop your engine
By the passenger of death.
You may run the grades of trouble,
Many days and years with ease,
But time may have you "side-tracked"
BY the switchman of disease.
You may cross the bridge of manhood,
Run the tunnel long of strife,
Having God for your conductor
On the lightning" train of life.
Always mindful of instructions,
Watchful duty never lack,
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eye upon the track,
Name your engine "True Religion"
When you're running day or night,
Use the coal of "faith" for fuel
And she'll always run you right.
You need never fear of sticking"
On the up grades long the road,
If you've got "Hope" for a fireman
You can always pull the load.
You will often find distractions
BY tie cunning devil lain,
On fill, a curve, or some place
Where he'll try to "ditch" your train.
But you needn't fear disaster
Jerk her open-let her go!
For the King who ruleth all things
All his plans will overthrow.
Put your trust in God the Savior,
Keep agoing-don't look back;
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the track.
When you've made the trip successful,
And you're at your journeys end,
You will find the angels waiting
To receive you as friend.
You'll approach the superintendent,
Who is waiting for you now
With blessed smile of welcome
And crown to deck your brow.
Never falter in your duty,
Put your faith and hope in Him,
And you'll always find your engine
In the best drumming trim.
Ring your bell and blow your whistle,
Never let your courage slack,
Keep your hand upon the throttle
And your eyes upon the track.
