Hon. GEORGE WESLEY ATKINSON will
allow rs to compliment him on his emf
nent practicslity in politics and freedom
from theoretical ''erankiness." The fact
that the Republican meeting Of Monday
night was held over q beer saloon did not
deter the honorable gentleman from his
plain political duty Of ascending the stair
wsy through tine fumes which must have
been very offensive to his n~Ostrils
and taking his stand on the platform.
Mr.. ATKINSON recognizes the exigencies
of the situation and the necessities Of poll
tics and with = cOmmendable grace sacri-
fees his personal opinion for the common
political good and smothers his well known
antipathy to the baneful liquor habit that
his party may live. We congratulate the
Republican party ON the possession Of 50
practical and self-sScri6eing a member and
on the probability Of sueh n wise Statesman
standing for the gubernatOrial honor in the
State next fall.

A BILL for the taking of the eleventh
United States census in 1890 has been in
troduoed in the House of Representatives
by Congressman Cox, OF New York. The
publication Of the reports Of the tenth
census taken ten years ago is still incOm-
plete and the present Congress is asked TO
make a final appropriation for completing
that voluminous and expensive publica-
ton. The new census legislation Ought to
restrict the prospective enumeration to
reasonable limits or else put such a force
on the work that it may be accomplished
before the beginning of the census Of 1900.
1t may not be too much to ask that the
publication of the returns should in all
respects be completed within two years
after the taking of the census.

The Ghost of a Chance

"Materializes" and becomes veritable
reality when health, will o. the wisp
often chased in vain, is sought by the
nervous, dyspeptic, bilious invalid
through the agency of Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. Looming in the
distance at first, it is surely drawn to-
ward the sufferer by the Bitters' po-
tent influence. 1t Incorporates itself
with his being. 1t is seen reflected in
the hue of the countenance, the ami
nation OF the eye. 1t is felt in sense
of renewed vigor, in the restoration of
nerve tranquility and digestion, and
undisturbed nightly repose. What
person, suffering from any of the NAL
aides to which the Bitters are adapted,
will postpone the means of cure know
ing it can be relied upon? Dyspepsia,
constipation, malarial disorders, rheu-
matism, biliousness, kidney inactivity
are certainly conquered by it.

irrigation, no water being used, not even
to start the growth. In an orchard of 1000
pear trees planted in 1886 and 1887 there
were but IA trees toreplant, which will serve
to show how sure trees are to grow here.
Bartlett pear trees, two years old when
planted in 1884, have good crop on them
this year. Around Colfax the soil is
red clay loan, very friable and easy to
work, and the farmer is never troubled
with weeds as on valley lands. They
pillow the land twice and cultivate twice,
and that is all that is required to keep it
clean and mellow during the whole sea-
son. Underlying the soil is rotten
slate bedrock, the depth at which it is
found varying from two TO twenty feet.

Hunting The Tiger.

lou must know, first of all, that the
tiger as seen cooped up in cage at some
circus, or in geological garden, is very
different from the animal as he appears in
his native jungle. In the circus he is so
"cabined, cribbed, confined" that he is
never able properly to stretch his muscles,
and the roar with which he greets the
keeper who is bringing his food resembles
the roar with which he awakens the
echoes of the forest, as the piping of tin
trumpet resembles the screech Of steam
whistle. 1t is difficult to describe the roar
OF tiger when he is angry. 1t is not
like the lions, which is more nearly a
"bellow," but perhaps you can realize it
when | say that it is as if thousand tom
cats gave one wild and prolonged meow
Tigers are generally hunted in two WAYS
one is, shooting from the kowdah of a
"pad' elephant, which is comparatively
a safe method; and the other is to shoot
them from 4 nleechaam, or platform of
boughs fixed in tree. When the latter
method Is adopted bait, in the form of a
bullock, either alive or dead, is generally
used to attract the tiger; or else the NEE
chGum is built within range of the place
to which the animal is accustomed to come
for his morning drink. The latter is per-
haps the commoner way, as shooting tigers
from the back of an elephant is rather ex-
pensiye work and only within reach of
those who have long purses-Mdy 81.

what a Liquor License should Re,

Now, 1t is of high importance to the
clear understanding and well working of 4
liquor license law, that it should contain
no provision whatever for license fee.
whether large or small The law ought
to show on the face of it, not only that it
Is not solely or mainly for the purpose of
revenue, but that revenue is no part of the
object of it. This is important, not only
to silence cavils, but to prevent honest
misconceptions in the public mind, which
has been so belabored and bewildered these
forty years by the pestilent sophistries of
the Prohibitionists. Cleared of this in
cumbrance, the law would stand forth I'M
lmpeachable as salutarv police measure
for the protection of society from the
abuses Of the liquor traffic. The license
law thus amended would not only COM
mend itself to good citizens when the
question was on its adoption; it would
have far better security for good admin
istration. The licensing board would not.
as now, be divided in mind between the
question of public order and morals and
the question of revenue. Its regard for
the interests of the treasury would never
have chance, as now, to conflict with its
duty to the interests of society. In every
application for license it could render its
decision solely with reference to the ques-
ton, Is the candidate man of such dis
cretion and fidelity that he is worthy to be
trusted, for the public advantage, with a
necessary but very dangerous business,
from the abuse of which, in unfit hands,
enormous mischiefs continually result to
society and the State ?'-Dr. Leonard ".
