A BUsHEL of corn. worth 40 cents,
makes four gallons of whisky, which
sells at retail for SIG. What makes it
sell for that price is the fact that the
internal revenue tax is high. The
money is divided as follows: The
vendor, 81; the manufacturer (pro :
tectedSs by "truss'O, 81; the govern
ment, $3.50; the railroads, 81. If the
internal revenue tax were taken off
thgsfazner would get no more than 40
cents b1shel for his corn, but the
price of whisky would fall to perhaps
2ece It's per gallon. With the removal
of the government tax, and the conse-
ouent discontinuance of government
control, stills would spring up every
where, just as they were before the
war, when whisky was as cheap as
milk. Do the temperance people,
think it will be a good thing to have 30
cent instead of 81 whisky? Would
more whisky be drank when it cost
ONLY 5 cents a pint than when it costs
l215 cents for half Fgi1?

FoR some time Republican news
papers have been publishing an al
legged item of news to the effect that
George A. McBeth, of Pittsburg, the
well-known lamp chimney manufact-
urer, was about to remove his factory
to Belgium, because labor is cheaper
there. Mr.. McBeth now publishes a
card in the New York Herald, EN-.
phatically denying the statement, and
saying further that while he is Re-
publican in politics, he is an out and
out free trader, and is not afraid of free
trade hurting his business or affecting
the wages of his employees. In closing
his card he says:
81 have 20 fear of free trade, but am
afraid that some day the small part of the
United states outside of Pennsylvania, will
get their eyes opened and make such short
work of the tariff as to cause a commercial
crisis, in place of doing away with it gradu-
ally. The scaffold will come down in
heap"

Abraham is spoken of in the Bible
as being the friend of God. God,
by the pen of Isaiah, speaks of him
as "my friend.p Jesus spoke of his
disciples as his friends. The language
is appropriate to describe the rela-
tions of thought and feeling toward
God as existing in the mind and
heart of a truly good man. God
does not need our friendship. We
cannot confer any benefits on him; ;
yet we can be His friends in sense
that will make Him our friend. We
can love Him and serve Him, and
take the friendship walk with God as
did Enoch.

lA Strange Deati,.

A Buffalo, (N. Y.) dispatch of the 9th inst. says: Robert Taylor who drives q delivery wagon was driving down Michigan street yesterday when his horse suddenly dropped as if shot, and at the same instant he received heavy electric shock through the wet rein. He recovered from 1t in a moment, but did not understand what had happened to him or realized what ailed his horse. Supposing his horse had suddenly stumbled he seized his whip and struck him a sharp blow with it. This time he got back such a shock through the whip that he was for some moments unconscl- ous. A colored man who had been standing on the corner watching the queer proceeding, now came up, assisted by boy, and offered to help him get the horse on It's feet. But the moment he touched the animal he gave an unearthly yell, fell forward upon the horse, gave one more scream and then lay still forever. Taylor was so badly frightened that he could do nothing and ti was not, until the. police patrol arrived couple of minutes later, that he could give the state of affairs. It was under stood that the horse and colored man were both dead. The colored mans watch key and knife were found to be highly magnetized. His face was badly fioated and his hands were burned to the bone. The Brush electric light people found that a broken telephone wire had fallen into the street and formed cross with one of their wires. The telephone wires were found tangled about the horses feet. He had stepped on them and the powerful current had
  killed him instantly, the damp snow making the connection be- tween the wire and his iron shoes perfect. The colored man may also have received the current through the wire, but the doctors think it more likely that it came through the horse as his hands | were badly burned where they 1 had touched the animal.

He then began to wonder and to ponder how all the rest save thIs one had been so unfortunate and why one could escape the calam- ity. But at last the mystery was solved. He one day saw this one going around among the others and taking 8 chew from off their tails. This would-be cannibal was removed to a pen by himself.- Columbus Journal.

ON THE \ HEELs
What 'EOund-ths hs-yyorld Stevens and Champion Howell Say of the Sport.
The popularity of 'cyclins ;s grov

The popularity of cycling is grow ing.
 Thomas Stevens, who has just been around the globe on wheel says that the best roads in the world are found in British India. The Grand Trunk road is l l,600 miles, an unbroken high way Of marvellous perfection, iron, Pershawar on the Afghan frontier te Calcutta. It is made of smooth, hard, natural concrete, beds of which lie along the line.
 How such roads would be appre- ciated by the enthusiastic 'cyclers oi this country!
 The wonderful achievement of Mir. Stevens, in the face of myriad dangers, entities him to all his honors.
 The fast riding champion of the world, however, is Richard Howell, Of Leicester, England. He is splen. didly made fellow, between 5 and 30 years of age, six feet high, and weighing, in training, about 16Q pounds.
 He commenced riding in 1879 and in 1881, at Belgravia ground, Leices ter, he won the one-mile champion ship of the world, beating all the best men of the day. -
 From that time his career has been one of almost unbroken successes. lie came to the United States in 1884 and 1885, ,and at the great Spring. field tournament in 1885, won seven out of eight races.
 In the Cycling Ners (Eng.), Oc- tober 1st, 1887, is the following inter. view with him.
 What are your best perform ances?"
 This yearI did full mile on the track at Coventry in ? minutes, & seconds. Good judges think, with everything in my favor, could do 230 for the distance"
 "What is your system of training?"
 ''I eat plain good food, and plenty of it. I take little walk befors breakfast, and then, after that meal, if l am loggy, ride eight or nine miles on the track here, in thick fannels After dinner I do some more 'slog. ging' work, and may be walk and early to bed.
 But there is one idea of mine which 1 have found invaluable. If have done too much work, or my system i; out of order, or if l don't feel quite sound, I take what I have used since l was queer in 1883. have always found that Warmers safe cure sets me up and puts me to rights again, and 1t is remedy which 1 believe in and tell all my friends about.
 ''ln the winter-time especially, when you can easily understand am not so careful of my health as in ths spring, summer CT autumn, 1 have found it invaluable.
 All l want, to beat the fastest bi. cyclist in the world, is plenty oi practice, an occasional dose of my fav- orite and my machine.
 "When 1 am about right in weight l content myself with short, sharp bursts as hard as ever I can go on ths track, and when I can cover 441 yards in thirty seconds with flying start, l reckon to be moving as well as 1 want to.
 Bicycling is q glorious sport, hut fl has its physical Il effects which how ever, can be eas,lv overcome by the method ;ssed y Champicc Haacii.
