clause in every deed forbIdding the
sale of liquor. During six months
no citizen required any assistance
from the ovcrseer of the poor. Dur
ing one year there was one indlct-

tween two coIorcd persons; there
were but three fires, and only one
house burned the taxes are only
one per cent, and there is no debt.
The police expenses are seventy five

A little town in New England, of

The Stats Zuitu'eg, German pa

from the poor shop girls of that city
who get mere PIttance for a week 5

and ten hours In the day because
they refuse to do houscwork and

standing the mcagcr pay and hard

the host of girls that work in the

reason why the girls 60 to the shops

former there is community Of them,
they are company for each other,
and all stand on the same level,
while in the private home they are
looked upon as servants only, and
have more indIgnities heaped upon

they take the risk of living at work

The Lumber Trust.

The latest trust is lumber trust.
One man, backed by German capi-
tallsts, proposes to buy up all the
pine forests of Northern Minnesota
and Wisconsin, and assisted by
tariff of two dollars per thousand
control the white pine lumber mar
kct. 1t is estimated that it will take
500, 600, 900 to get this trust proper
ly under way. The new combine"
opens up very pleasant prospect
for the lumber consumers of the
West, the majority of whom are
farmers. The tribute of two dollars
per thousand which they have paid
to "protect" tie lumber interest, is
not enough to satisfy the greed Of
the lumber barons, and the trust is
being organized to tleed them still
more. 1t strikes us that the neces-
slty for free lumber Is now more ap-
parent than ever. There is an abun-
dance of lumber in Canada, and a
little competition from that quarter
would soon smash this lumber trust
to smithereens and give the people
lumber at a just and reasonable
price. We are most emphatically
for free lumber.

1.-The Abstainer'S Creed"

The following IS from the pen of
the Rev. A. r. Plerson, d. D., and
is called by the author 1.-The Abb
stainer's Creed:" "Believe that the
demon of strong drink is the gigan-
tic foe 20 God and man that it ruins
man alike for happiness on earth and
blessedness in heaven and that two
thirds of all the pauperism, crime
and woe of earth may be traced to
him as his progeny that he was con-
ceived of satan, born of the deprav-
ed appetites of men, and infiicts
only suffering upon his victim; that
under his rule reason is rrucified,
love dies and conscience is buried
that man descends into q hell even
upon earth, and has no resurrection
for his manhood nor redemption for
his enslaved soul but in the power of
God; that no drunkard can enter the
kingdom Of God nor abide IN His
presence who shall come to judge
the living and the dead. l believe
in the saving and keeping power of
the Holy Ghost; that the whole
Catholic church should unite to as
sault and overthrow this awful traf-
fic in strong drink, and deliver hu-
manity from the curse of the drink
habit; that the only salvation for
humanity is uncompromising total
abstinence for the individual, pro-
gresslve prohibition for the commu-
nifty, and, above all, the embrace of
the gosple of Christ, who alone can
redeem body and soul from the slave
ry of sin and thrill us with the power
of life everlasting"

Is none for Mr.. Benjamin Harrison.
He has absolutely nothing but his
name to commend him to any South

q dim appreciation Of this fact, or 1t

of the South long enough to appeal
for Southern support for its candi-
date, upon 50 sweetly sentimental

the Blue Ridge mountains on the
evening of the 17th ult, were put
in great peril for time by the
remarkable freak of man who had
been crazed by liqacr. As the tram
was passing station the man threw
himself upon the tender. and cover
ing the engineer and fireman with a
pistol, forced them to leave and climb
back into the baggage car. The
conductor, after a hurried consulta-
tion, called to the crazy man to leave
the engine. The latter replied with
a pistOl-shet, and as he fired from
the cab window the engineer rrawled
in, and, scIzing the throttle, stopped
the train, and the conductor felled
the madman with heavy stone.

Fruit Eaters and Doctors.

We were struck by the remarks
of doctor friend of ours, who said
no one thing will do so much to make
people independent Of the medical
profession as the daily free use of
fruit. He had noticed that those
farmers in whose families fruit was
regularly and largely consumed sell
dom needed his services. We thought
what pity every farmer IN the
land could not be convinced of these
truths. 1t is a deplorable fact that
farmers families do not enjoy the
robust health that country air and
outdoor life, With plenty of exercise
should give.-RuroL Nor Io.k kcr.

Tariff Queries.
DALE.

EIBOhAS 1ONds Au 10. ~ lie
EDITOR: Many Of us in this "neck
of the woods" desire cnliehtmcnt on
the following questions through the
columns OF your weekly edition:
/. Docs England exact an I'M
port duty on American brcadstuffs
and on beef and hGg pro-! !ucts!
>. Name the imports upon which
she derives her revenues.
,. What is the duty upon wheat
imported into our country? How
does that effect the price here:
4. Why IS qulnine no longer
manufactured in this country?
5. How do the Republicans re-
concie their attitude upon tariff re-
duction and revision with their pro-
nounced platform declarations upon
that issue in 1884?
G. Isn't 1t morally certain that
Elaine and his following dictated the
protective position of the g. o. p.
upon that issue?
Z. Isn't it overwhelmingly prob
able that Blaine declined nomination
in consideration of his being placed
at the head of Harrison's cabinet?
F. NJ. HICKS.
1. England does not exact an i'm
port duty on American breadstuffs,
beef, or hog products.
2. England derives most Of her
revenues from excise and other in
Lernal taxes. Import duties are laid
on abont twenty articles only, all Of
them belonging to two classes-those
not produced in the country and
those upon which internal taxes are
LAID If they are produced in the
and the duties on the latter
are intended to be no more than suf-
fcIent TO balance the internal taxes.
The principal articles on which du-
ties are laid are tea, cnffee, tobacco,
spirits, wines, and malt liquors.
The others are comparatively unim-
portant. No duty is laid with the
purpose or effect Of protecting any
home industry.
3. Our duty on wheat Is 20 cents
per bushcl; on wheat-hour 20 per
cent. 1t doesn't affect the price
here to the extent of mill in
thousand dollars. 1t is bait to
catch the votes of farmer gudgeOns.
4. As well ask why cotton Is no
longer grown in this country. Qui-
nine Is manufactured here, and in
greater quantities than it vas before
the duty was taken off.
B. The Republicans don't trouble
to reconcile anything.
6. 1t is morally certain that the
Carnegies and others of that ilk who
have fatteued like swine on protec-
ton while their workmen have grown
lean dictated the tariff plank Of the
present Republican platform. Blaine
is one Of the fat swine.
Z. IL is probable that Blaine pre-
ferred to let some one else take the
chance of getting beat this time. IL
the Republicans win on the platform
of taxed necessarics and free whisky
Blaine will probably accept a nomi-
nation with thanks four years hence
if he is where he can get 1t. II is
likely that be expects to be at the
head of IaIrisons cabinet and of
Harrison himself In the improbable
event of the iatter's election. The
Times expresses no opinion about the
existence Of a bargain or understand
Ing to that cffect.-Chicago Times.
