Aberdeen can do this, if 1T chooses,
and It's action will have no material eff
feet upon the Novemb Der result. 1t will
affect only Aberdeen. There is a future
before this territory. In the course of
time other republican conventions will
be called. The apportionment therein is
liable to be based upon the republican
vote within each county. If Aberdeen
is anxious to throw away its chances for
the future it can go to the democratic
party. Dakota republicans offer this
much in the way of friendly warning.

The Industrial Side of the Liquor Cues

The New York Evening Post declares
the attack upon the business of liquor
making to be mistake" because "the
whole number of persons who get their
living i'm one way or another out of the
production of liquors of various sorts
wonld make an army of no mean pro-
portions" To this, the Toledo Blade,
"Nasby's' paper, makes the following
pertinent reply
"War employs vast armies of men.
Should we therefore encourage war?
Burglary, thieving, gambling, and pros
titutiOn employ vast army of men and
women; are these vices therefore to be
encouraged? The consumer of the hop
product consumes but little else. He
robs the builder by not living in de-
cent house. He rObs the butcher by
not consuming meat In decent quanti-
ties. He robs the newspaper publish
er by never taking n paper. He robs
the bookseller by never buying book.
He rObs the clOthier by spending his
earnings i'm beer, and going himself in
rags, and cOndemning his family to do
the same. He robs the grocer, the
hardware store, aud every decent en-
ployment, in the same way. The beer
shop absorbs everything he can earn,
and the rest of the community get moth
ing from him. The industrial side of
the liquor question is the last one that
should be held up for public approval
1t has no industrial side. It's only work
is the destruction of men and women.
1t is never planted anywhere that it
does not burn like prairie fire. It's
presence in community is indicated
by roOfess houses, patched windows,
dirt, and squalor. That such a crime
against humanity should be apologized
for because it employs an army Of men,
is something more than singular. ''The
industrial side of the liquor question"
furnishes most excellent reason why
we should pnlUerize The rum poaper."

N eighbor Winrow's Advice to Haymak-
ers upon Drinking.
FROM THE UNDERSTANDING READER, AN
OLD SCHOOL BOOK OF SEVENTY YEARS AGO.

FELLOW LABoRERs:-When we sweat

abundantly. You will all pronounce
that liquor best which makes you most

Then do not drink flip. The body al

matory diseases.
Do not drink toddy or milk punch for
the same reason. If rum, brandy,
whisky, gin or other ardent spirits mu st
be drunk, take half gill at time un-
mixed, and Immediately drink large
draughts of cold water after it. For the
same reason, when man is crackbrain-
ed enough to throw a firebrand into a
magazine of powder, he can not do bet
ter than to throw water upon the burn
ing Goals as fast al. possible.
Drink treacle, that is mOlasses or ma
pie sugar mixed with water.
Drink whey or milk and water spruce
or hop beer.
Drink pure water. Set the
pail i'm the sun half an hour before you
use it, or rinse your mouth three or
four times i'm the coolest water, and
then you may drink freely from the
coolest spring.
If the weather Is much colder than
your bodies, it will do you no harm. 1t

Republican. He had, long years ago,
been appointed by Democratic Ad-
ministration, and had been retained by

the State Department in all matters not
political. Then Senator ingalls, indulg-
