The "soldier vote" is a myth.
Soldiers-or those who were soldiers
for time a good many years ago
vote as other citizens, according to
their political preferences and party
affiliations. The men who talk Of
getting the "soldier vote" by pur-
chasing it with pensions, insult every
honest survivor of the armies OF the
Union. General Grant vetoed an i'm
portant pension bill, and it did no
affect his popularity, but on the con
trary strengthened HIM with the
people, as one who knew his duty and
did it. That is about the siz6 of
Cleveland. II Pittsburg Post, Dem.

+ AHERALD representative dropped
off ibr a few hours yesterday at On
tario, though not a stranger in the
place, yet could scarcely recognize it
as the village of a few months since.
Near the depot two elegant brick
blocks are in course Of construction
and another completed and occupied,
which even alcity of the first magni-
tude might well view with approba-
ton. In every direction cottages and
business buildings to the number of
fifty or sixty, painless, roofless or as o
skeleton of framework indicate that
they are now in course of construc-
ton, and this, together with the din
Of hammers, grating of saws and the
noise of the moving of lumber, caused
the visitor to realize that verify he was
in a. village of no small pro-
portions. The Electric railway
on the beautiful Euclid avenue
is fast reaching completion. Four
miles of rails are already in place., the
ties all distributed and a gang of
twenty men are laying the balance of
the track. The grade of the road-bed
Of the Chino Railroad has been COM
pleted, the rails and ties are on the
ground ready for use and the engines
and coaches are daily expected. The
plans are drawn for two new churches
and large hotel, and the work of
construction will soon be commenced
During the past year $S5, 900 worth of
iron and cement pipe has been laid,
which is an indication of the large
area OF land which has been placed
under cultivation. Many improve
ments are in prospect, among others
a splendid opera house. Business
men seem to be doing good bust
ness, and in all, Ontario seems to give
promise of bright future.

WASHINGTON, January 20.-ln the
House, after several explanations
from Springer, of Illinois, relative to
his connection with the case involving
the rights of the United States in the
appropriation made for the Philadel-

proceeded to the consideration of the
Thoebe Carlisle contested election
case.
Crisp opened the debate and justi-
fed the majority committee in decid-

reopened.
LYMAN, of Iowa, knew of no reason
why the case should not be reopened.
Grave charges have been made and
answered by ex parte af1idavits, but a
strong effort had been made to pre-
vent the investigation of these
charges.
Cooper, of Ohio, and Rowell, of Hi
nois, supported the majority report
and Lodge, of Massachusetts,, the min
ority who said that considering particu-
larly the enormous disparity between
the contestant and contestee the
House should proceed with great cir

A TEMPERANCE LECTURE

My DEAR FRIxNDs:-Men have
fought. bled and died-but not for
beer. VIM. Tell did not hide his ar.
row under his vest to kill the tyran,
because the edict had gone forth tha,
tho free-born Switzer should not drink
beer. Freedom did not shrek as
kosciusco fell over a whisky barrel.
Even the battle Of Brandywine was
not fought that whisky might be free.
No clause in the Declaration Of indie
pendence declares that a Sunday con-
cert garden, with brass horns aud kegs
OF beer, is the inalienable right OF u
free people.
Tea-mild, harmless tea, the much.
sneered.at temperate, beverage, the
feeble drink of good old women.
Tea holds a higher place. 1t fills u
glorious page in the history Of the
United States-more glorious far than
beer. 1t is worth fighting for. The
best men in the world fought for it.
The history of the United States is in.
complete with tea left out, AS we'll
might the historian omit to mention
Bunker Hill or Faneuil Hall. But
does any one know a story of heroism
or patriotism with rum for its her )?
Whisky men fight, it is true. But
they fight other drunken men. The
heroes who fall in the struggles for
rum, fall shot in the neck and die bv
the haunting phantoms Of "jim. jams. "
Honor never has the delirlum ire mems.
Glory does not wear red nose. Fame
blows horn, but never takes one.
The champion Of beer does not stand
I'm the temple OF Fame. He stands in
tho police court.
Bon BURDETTE.
