Boycott the Beer.

CERTAIN labor organizations in
the city of New York have declared
a boycott" on beer. That is right.
1t is your greatest enemy. Try it
six months, and you never will
want to 60 back to it. You say the
boss brewers want to dictate.
All right; but beer is a worse and
greater dictator than all the boss
brewers in America. It dictates
such terms to you that you rob
your family, cheat your grocer and
baker, cannot pay your landlord,
nor get decent suit of clothes.
Beer is your "boss." Stick to your
boycott, and you will be all right

A Good Old Age.

Thos. Eggleston recently died at
Grifithsville, W. Va, at the ad-
vanced age of Ill years and 10
months. He was in many respects
q remarkable character. Though
he had travelled but little, he had
been for years an omniverous reader
especially of political matters, and
being possessed of an acute memory
he was fond of contrasting the var
ious Presidential campaigns that
came within his recollection, and
as his first vote was cast for Thorn
as Jefferson, these were numerous.

The saloon Infamy.

Rev. DR.. Bayless, editor of the
Western Christian Advocate, in
speaking of this saloon infamy up
on Gods holy day, well says:
When beer assumes the tone OF
autocrat, and commands the sur
render of an institution at once as
sacred and valuable as the Chris
tian Sabbath, it is time for intel.
llgent freemen to dethrone the sac
religious despot. Good men can
not submit to conscienceless domi-
nation like this, and they will not
submit to it; nor will they forget
the legislature which has it in its
power to remove this disgrace from
US and fails to do it.

Burdette's Advice.

Bob Burdette says: "My daugh.
ter, when you note that the man
who wants to marry you is just too
awfully anxious to learn whether
you can bake loaf of bread, or
wash shirt with Chinese dexter
ity, before you close the negotia-
tions, do you just fly around and
ascertain if that man is either will.
ing or able to earn enough to make
a biscuit, and if he has paid for
the shirt he wants you to wash.
Nine times out of ten, daughter.
the man who only wants to marry
housekeeper can be kept more
economically in the workhouse
than he can in your fathers
house."

ut IS uncomfortable that the well-be-

1t would seem that if the Con-
stitution of the United States does
not, by its own force, displace or
annul State law, authorizing the
construction of bridges or dams
across public navigable waters of
the United States, thereby wholly
preventing the passage of vessels
engaged in Interstate commerce
upon such waters. the same Con.
stitution ought not to be held to
annul or displace a law of one of
the States which. by its operation,
fordids the bringing within her
limits from other States articles
the State, in the most solemn man
ner, has declared to be injurious to
the health, morals, and safety OF
her people. The silence of Con-
gress upon the subject of inter-
State commerce, as affected by the
police laws of the States, enacted
in good faith to promote the pub.
lie health, the public morals, and
the public safety, and to that end
prohibiting the manufacture and
sale within their limits OF intoxica-
ting liquors to be used as a bever-
age, ought to have at least as
much effect as the silence of Con-
gress in reference to physical OBJ
structions placed under the author
ity of a State in .navigable waters
of the United States. The reserved
power of the States to guard the
health, morals, and safety of their
people is more vital to the existence
Of society than their power in

with those subjects" Extract from,
