who ch,rish the exaggerative faculty
and listen to his presentations with
evident delight. But worst OF al the
slaves TO temptation is the dunkard.
He is not man OF this world He is
lost to the kingdom which his fellow
men nhabit. He does not think with
them or act with them, he is like an
alien prince at the throne of an I'M
friendly monarch. We cannot curse
him, we cannot discard him, he must
be nursed back to che human self
within him in the careful arms of refor-
nation. But the drunkard rarely in
tend to reform. He has tasted the
bitter cup, its poison has become as
sugar to him and he sells his existence
for the morning toddy. Virtue and
temptation are the truest earthly en-
blems of heaven and hell Christ
came to establish the former and Danish
the latter Luther came after him for
the same purpose, and the deeds still
remains for a united and earnest PEG
pie to accomplish by constant and
eternal martyrdom.

THE Local Option Law as it is.
recognizing cider rs an intoNicant
and permitting its sale as such, has
proven the greatest obstacle to its
enforcement, as against the sale OF
other intoxicants. Saloon men have
made the most Of their oppostunity,
and have been vending beer and
other Intoxicating drinks under the
guise of cider. Now while there has
been but little trouble to prove their
vile compounds intoxicating, the
State has been compelled to prove
they we're not cider, the sale of which
the law allows. Strike cider ex-
cepted' from the law and you have
prohibition of all intoxicants, under
whatever guise-"lcmonade," cor
ange Juice" "pea foam, pear cider -
or otherwise-and law that can be
enforced.

LIZ is seldom that Walt Within

If is seldom that Walt Whitman is
in Speaking humor" when IN the
presence of his occassioned visitors, but
when he Is found in such a mood the
old prophet generally has something to
say which men are apt to heed. The
Rev. II. X. Haweis, NJ. A., publishes an
interview with the Camden poet which
he had last December in a current
number of the Fall Mall Gazette. He
says: He seemed more anxious to
hear than to speak. He made US talk
to him. Once or twice he alluded to En-
erson. 81 saw him quite often in the last

said. 'Was not that painful?' | asked.

the. old habit of thinking in picturea

seemed to engulph immense cheap edi,

which circulate in millions, and which
we should never care to open?' ''You
forget" said Walt, ''there is sea below
the sea. We are but on the surface. "
1t would have been difficult to hit upon
a more graphic image, or one more

AFTER all our pains to investigate
the two mediums proposed for the eff
fective prohibition of the liquor traffic
in Cecil county we have found the
greatest strength to exist in local OPP
ton law. We have found the advo-
caters of high license too far bigoted
to present their claims with the justice,
the reason, and the GOODNESS with which
we have heard the local option men
express themselves. We believe that
eventually this grand new temperance
movement, in which the local option
men have been the pioneers, will re-
suit in the most important consequences
to the county that have resulted for
many years. Not consequences of a
political or religious character but of a
purely social and moral type and we
urge all to be earnest and helpful as
they can in this cause. The WHIG
will advocate that platform for them
because it believes it to be needed, a
sacred, and purely unpartizan plank.

GREAT FIRE IN PHILADELPHIA.

TEMPTATION.

1t is the nature of every human be-
ing endowed with the divine gift OF
reasons to yield more or less to per-
suasion. The mind of man, whether
he be weak or strong, is apt to sue
cumb to delusion and phantasies, to
answer desires that speak from within,
and chases the butterflies of fancy
that fit through every lane and over
every meadow. To some men a wo-
mans smile is seductive, to others a
noble art or profession is alluring, and
to a great many the demon of intern
perance is a master they dare not re-
fuse to obey. Herein humanity ex-
hibits weakness which the teachings
of centuries have failed to expurge. 1t
will not yield to entreaty. II will not
look upon its actions as vices but
willingly becomes the self-acknowledged
slave to temptation. The passion Of
Eve still burns in the bosoms of the
human race. All reach to pluck the
forbidden fruit no matter how strongly
that still small voice within crys out
against it. Will and conscience are
not transcendent qualities as they
should be and therefore two of the
most important safeguards of the moral
constitution are permitted to rust on
their hinges and swing open at the
wind made by the rustling of the gar
ments oftemptation as it passes through
them to set up its throne in heart and
mind and soul 1t is not for the
pleasure of drink that men imbibe.
The analyizations of science prove that
it is impossible to include substance
agreeable to the pallet in the manu-
tacture of intoxiCants. 1t is for the
little hell that reigns within the system
that men sink from their high estate to
the level of the beasts of the field.
Some mems hearts love torments and
angry passion. Love to feel their
spirits groveling and walowing in the
mire; they are painful and tragic
race, almost a lost race were it not for
the one subtle ingredient that yet re-
NAMED in Pandora's box after the es-
cape of the seven evils. Oftentimes a
father or a mother, a friend or COM
panion are to be charged with the
faults of one who is a slave to tempta-
ton. They know his or her weakness
yet they make no effort to keep him
from the ways of his vice A bad for
tune seems to favor him with every
opportunity to exercise the evil ten
dencles uppermost in his nature. If
he is thief he is brought in contact
with gold in his daily life until all con-
seriousness of respect for the property
of another is usurped by the subordi
nate claim of that ruling passion that
trembles in his bosom. If he is liar
he is invariably cast among company

Quicken, of Omaha. McGutken refused
to pay the bill aud interposed i'll defense
the plea that the st Louis firm had no

THE work of the new movement III
Cecil county must show its practical
side to the people if it would succeed.
1t is right to view 1t with a certain
amount of sentimentality, for that be-
longs to it strongly, but it is mainly
upon the question Of proper legislation
that it depends and its advantages
must be set forth in technical and pre-
else terms. The law must be made
to answer the wishes of the people by
issuing such edicts as will effect the
total prohibition of the liquor traffic in
Cecil county. This cannot be done on
such compromising basis as the high
license plan, therefore the best action
which the law makers can take is to
grant the people of this county local
option law of such strength as will
make it absolutely impossible to break
it and absolutely impossible to escape
the sentence of that law when 1t has
been violated.

If the Hon. Stevenson Archer Is OF
the same good stock as his Bel Air re-

position of State Treasurer is assured.
1t seems to us the nominations lately
made at Annapolis have been very wise
indeed. All the candidates are men
o. sterling worth, men who will not be-
lie the sacred character OF their public
Offices for personal motives or mere
political aims. 1t is such men who
make the bone and sinew of the gov
eminent, who increase its stability, es-
tablish its character, and perpetuate it
for all time.
