appropriated to the support of the fam.
lilies of those who fell in the fight, and
that was right and just and encouraged
patriotism. Just so, all the revenue from
whisky should be set apart as sacred
fund with which to repair as far as posi-
BILE the ruin it does under national pro.
lection. If Atlanta gets fifty thousand
dollars year from licenses, that money
ought to go to buy food and clothing and

What set of political towards these
congressman are. They were afraid to
vote upon the Mills bill or any other
tariff bill, and they are afraid now. They
will fool along until after the election.
But Mr.. Cleveland was not afraid. He
wanted that surplus reduced at once. He
wanted the nation relieved, and no dodg.
ing around. Politics is science, the
science of self.interest. When man is
in Office he wants to keep in and so he
never makes an appointment to office or
recommends anybody, but what the first
question is what can he do for me-how
much influence has he got in his county
how many votes can he control-and
that is the second question and the third.
When men come out for Office they lay
their plans and combine with those who
want some other Office and then they all
pull together. The judge of circuit is
not elected by the people of his circuit,
nor by the votes of the members of the
legislature from his circuit, but by the
members from seventeen other circuits

A Morning Parting which Made Coy
Cupid Melancholy.
Tho moon had smiled upon the
earth, and sunk beneath the hills. The
clock had told the hours that cluster
round dark midnight's mystic spell,
and silence was about the dreaming
earth.
Augustus and sweet Mary still were
held by the spell exerted by the other.
Unheeding time, destroyer ofour hopes
or of our fears. creator of our joys and
of our woes. they sat and thought of
nothing. For them the clock, the
earth, the stars, the universe stood
still. The oscillating hammock meath
q double burden had creaked in har-
mony to words of love. The rocking
chair. the shady sylvan walk. the old
front gate, the wooden stoop. had all
been auditors to secrets that were so
insignificant and yet so sacred.
They were sitting in the parlor. At
length amid the subtle silence Cupid 8

CHICAGO JOURNALISM.

An Eastern Tribute to Western Pluck
Brains and Enterprise.
Chicago journalism. like the city it
self, is one OF the wonders Of the times.
The New York newspaper editors and
publishers claim for themselves the
first place among the press OF the
United States, but it is not claim that
is acceded to by Chicago journalists.
There is a certain dignity which may
perhaps carry influence that only be-
longs to age, q stability that only the
lapse of years can bring.
Chicago newspapers can have little
of this. But they have every thing
else that the great newspapers OF New
York have-capital, editorial talent.
repOrtorial enterprise and competent
business management, and an un-
equaled field both for the collection OF
news and the extension of their circu-
lation, and some ofthese qualities in an
intensified and greatly developed de-
gree. As newspapers, that is. as gath
erers of the details ofthe worlds daily
history, and its presentation with full
ness and skill they have no equals on
the continent
The enterprise of the Chicago news
papers stops at no expense. staggers
at no difficulties. Its special telegraph
wires are like the spokes of a wheel.
reaching especially all important
points of the Northwest The citizen
of Chicago, as he opens his morning
paper, has the satisfaction of knowing
that no important event that has hap
pened anywhere in the known world
the day before has been missed from
its news columns.
Editorially. the Chicago newspapers
are in no respect inferior to the best
published elsewhere in the United
States. There is, it is true, running
through majority of the articles. an
indescribable quality due to the influ-
ence of a community where. according
to the local slang. every thing goes
and goes like thunder" a disposition
to carry a point by the use of the
bludgeon instead of the more artistic
flourish of the rapier; but, like most
Western writer's, Chicago editors go 70
the point aimed at by very direct lines.
and when it is reached no reader has
any difficulty in finding out what it ia.

Ohio and Michigan arc better pro-

that tobacco produces baneful effects

Small Western colleges often have
difficulties in their career. One coll
lege in Indiana has had various trials.
Its entire faculty has been arrested and
convicted of malicious trespass; some
of its faculty have INDUCED in libel
cases. and now its furniture has been

lowed in perpetuity.
As an illustration of the fact that
school attendance during epidemics
largely contribute to the spread of in
fictitious diseases, it is stated that dur
ing the late serious outbreaks of diph-
iberia in the ironstone villages OF
England the closing Of a school proved
in every instance an effective means
of bringing each local epidemic to an
end.
The growing cosmopolitanism OF
Boston University is strikingly shown
in the fact that its seven hundred and
seventy-five matriculants last year
came from nineteen foreign and from
thirty American States and Terri
tories. Among them were bearers of
university degrees from no less than
seventy-one American and foreign
universities, colleges and professional
schools. The instruction was given
by one hundred and twenty professors
and lecturers.
"A little box came into a missionary
collection inscribed with the singular
words: "'Tis But" It was from a
lady who had never felt that she could
do much for missions. But she had
been accustomed to buy q good many
things for herself which she did not
absolutely need, saying: Its but q
dollar" or "'Tis but a trifle." This
year she determined. when 80 tempted.
to put her "'tis butts" into the mis-
sionary box; and it surprised her to
find that they amounted to one hum
dred and fifty dollars.
