Protection is u good thing for a mon

by taking from the many and giving

stands up for the government, because
il is Tor its interest to do so. Thus
standing armies, aristocratic establish
inents, costly public buildings, vast
picture galleries, aces of amusement,
ETC., are created, and an appearance of
great prosperity is made. The reverse
of the picture is not so pleasant, but it
is inevitable. The tribute-paye will
be ms ny and m aerable.
In a monarchy this policy can be
kept up for centuries, because the
masses have no voice in publ affairs.
They are expected to suffer, and that
is all.
In q republic the case is different.
Equality before the law means equali-
ty of rights and of burdens. II re-

love and loyalty of cOntented people
The protection policy, long followed
in q republic, will produce state of
inequity in rights and responsibilities
that will change the love of the mass

their yalty, to revolt.

A non partisan temperance meeting
was held in the Town Hall on Friday
evening, the 23rd inst. The object OF
the meeting was to consider what
measures, if any, should be taken to
secure the greatest good to our town
from the Township Option law. There
were not many present, but nearly all
who were expressed their opinions re-
garding it. Some were in favor OF
petitioning the Trustees for q special
election as soon as possible, while
others held that as we have no saloon
at present in the township and NO
prospect of there being one, it would
not be policy to agitate the question at
present. When all were through
speaking the question was submitted
to the voters present. A majority were
in favor of petitioning the Trustees
for a special election, and the follow
ing persons were appointed to secure
signatures to the petition: Il. F. Mer-
lam, David Yarian, James Sabin, Geo.

NEW YORK, March 2Sth.-A new
thing in organizations of veterans of
the war is the independent Army and
Navy Association. The object of this
Association is to maintain q perfect
union among its members, to establish
harmony and discipline, to insure
tranquility, to promote the object of
reconciliation between the Blue and
the Gray veterans of 1861 s, to main
tain true allegiance to the United
states Government, and answering
respect for and fidelity to the constitu
ton and the laws of the land, and to
encourage the spread of universal lib
erty, equal rights and justice to all
men,"
The representative of this Associa-
tion in this city Is Phil Sheridan Post
No. /. Before adopting this name
letter was sent to the General. stating
the objects of the Association, and
asking permission to use his name.
The General in his reply granting the
request stated that he Iuily approved
the objects of the new organization.
The Post was accordingly formed, and
on March ~ adopted rules and regu.
lations. Here are two of them:
"Comrades should enjoy themselves
with Innocent mirth, treating one an
other according to their ability, but
avoiding all eXcesses or forcing any
comrade to eat or drink beyond his
inclinatit MS, or hinderIng him from
g1ing when kis occasion calls him, or
uoing or saying anything offensive, or
that may forbid OF any free and easy
conversation, for that would blast our
harmony and defeat our laudable pur-
I poses !; therefore, no private quarrels
must be brought within our doors, far
less any quarrels about religion or ma
tions, We being only brothers aud
comrades of the universal religion
above mentioned kindred we are also
of all nations, tongues and languages,
and we are resolved against all politics
as what never yet conduced to the
welfare of any order, nor ever will.
Comrades entering into our Post
as members must lay aside all hatred
and malice in regard to the past issues;
yes, everything that may incite our
Blue or Gray veterans to disharmony;
we must fight prejudice in all its forms

Gifts of PUiAOf1.

1t Is time that IT respectable merchants
combined with consuaers for the sup
preston of all gift, prize and lottery
schemes i'll connection with the sale
of articles of merchandise. These
schemes are not only demoralizing to
legitimate business aud to the morals
of the community, but in the extent
in which they are being carried in the
sale of articles of food, have become 3
source ofgrest danger to public health
They are, no matter III what form they
appear, notbiug more or iess thsn lie
vices to swirdle honest aud uusu.pect.
ing people.
1t is gratifying to learn that in some
instances the officers of the lazy have
taken held of the matter. Iu New
York. aud also in Chicago, parties who
in this way offered gifts to purchasers
of their packages have recently been
arrested upon indictments for lottery
swindling. The latest candidates, both
for public execration and criminal
prosecution, are the manufacturers of
alum baking powders. who are both
by means of gifts and lottery tickets,
disposing of large quantities of their
corrosive!y poisonous compounds,
which are so we'll known 10 be detri

will admit them into her kitchen

not only being peddled from house to
house, but under the promise of large
profits to be realized, the manufactur.
ers are eentrenchiny themselves behint
the counters of many grocers by get
ting them to offer ths alum goods wit
the gifts or lottery tickets attached
thereby shifting the liability to prose
cution, i'll part, upon other aud per
haps innocent parties. Every groce
or dealer, for instance, who sells o
,.ffers for sale any of the prize or lOtter.
baking powders is criminal in tn,
eye of the law, and liable, upon con
viction, to fine and imprisonment
while those who sell the gift goods ar
morally as responsible, for they ar
offering an inducement. or pr:ze, t
housekeepers to use food that con
tains corrosive poison. This is pre-
dicament in which it is not possibl
our grocsrs care to place themselve
when they come to think seriously G
the matter.
1t must be bsrne in mind that ever
one of these gift Or-prize baking pow
ders are alum baking powders. Thes
powders cost less than four cents
=. pound to produce; the gift or priz
costs but few cents more. They al
