A Daty to the Country.


The democratic Senators should prevent
a republican partisan vote on the fisheries
treaty. The debate is unworthy of the Sem
ate. The open discussions wherein Sena-
tors take occasion to insult British states
men and talk about war are a violation of
the traditions Of the Senate and an invasion
of its true dignity as cooperative branch
of the executive power The determination
to make the treaty party measure-hOld
ing republican caucus to arranae its de-
feat on partisan lines-is little more than
moral treason. 1t is the degradation of the
Senate from its high Impartial function as
the constitutional adviser of tho President
upon treaties.
How differently such things are managed
in England There, no matter what party
is in power, all unite when a question con-
Germs the country. This fishery convention
was arranged by bipartisan commits
sion. Mr.. Angel, conspicuous republican,
appointed by President Hayes as Minister
to China, was member. The administra-
tion took every pains to negotiate it in a
non. partisan way, Mr.. Baysrd doing his
best to make settlement that would do
honor to the country and strengthen the
ties of peace with Great Britain. But a
Presidential campaign was at hand. To de-
feat Mr.. Cleveland policy of clamor and
menace was required. The President must
be held up as an English tool and war with
England must be preached. In pursance of
this ignoble purpose we have had an igno-
minious debate, and now Senator Frye and
other warriors insist upon vote.
Well, the republicans have served one
part of their purpose. They have strained
our relations with Great Britain and injured
the dignity of the Senate. But the friends Of
the administration have also their recourse.
They can prevent a vote until the elections
are over and the better sentiment of the
Senate is awakened. Or the President can
withdraw the treaty. And perhaps calm,
digpifed message to the effect that for grave
reasons he prefers to hold it for further con-
sideration would be the best ending of a dis
creditable business as far as the Senate is
concerned.-N. Y. Herald.

81 have heard in a long political expert

tax levied by the General Government upon
commodities that the laboriDg man as we'll

1t is tax that takes hold Of everyth ing
from the crown of your head to the soles of
your feat; that taxes your hat, your coat,
your vest, your breeches, your boots, your
shoes; that taxes every implement which
you use in your mechanical aud agricultural
operations. And nov. to tell me that to

LII VIII % OOServee that the Democrats
have had majority of the popular vote in
every Presidential election since the war,
and yet has only had one President. OF
course the reason of it is that Presidents
arc chosen by the electoral, and not the
popular vote of the States, and consequent
y while an overwhelming majority of the
people may declare for one candidate, the
minority candidate may, and has frequent
ly been elected by the electors. For in
stance, in the last presidential election New
York only gave Cleveland 1000 majority
of the people, but the whole electoral vote
of that State (36) was cast for him; while,
on the other hand, Pennsylvania gave some
$4,000 majority of the popular vote for
Blaine, but could only give him her thirty
electoral votes. Thus Cleveland, on his
1000 majority in New York, received six
more electoral votes than did Blaine with
his Sc, 900 in Pennsylvania,
The popular vote, therefore, of the Union,
whatever is may be, never determines
presidential election, and was never in end
ed to do so because ours il frderal aud
not a consol doted union of Stairs. and the
small States of Vermont and Rhode Island,
with their fractions OF territory aud popula-
ton, have an eqlal vote in the United
States Senate with the greatest States in
the Union. and the largest popular majority

Discussion Between Allen. of Michigan.
and Breckingridge, Of Ken
lucky.
Last Monday was County Court-day in
Rockingham and larger number of per-
sons were present than usual on slch occa-
sions, as it was known that distinguished
speakers would address the people. The
Democrats had the appointment for that
day, and had the good fortune to secure the
services of Hon. W. G. P. Breckenridge, of
Kentucky, one of the ablest and most elo-
quent speakers of this country. Though it
was the appointment of the Democrats, the
Republicans asked for an equal division of
time, which the Democrats very generously
and willingly granted, and it was very evil
dent after the speaking that the Republic
cans very sorely regretted their folly in
asking for the privilege of joint discus
sion between their champion, Hon. E. P.
Allen, of Michigan, and Hon. W. G. P.
Breckenridge, of Kentucky, the eloquent
champion of the Democratic party. The
discussion was conducted in most courte-
Gus manner by both of these members OF
Congress, but the arguments and the e]o-
quence were on the side of the Democrats
who enjoyed their victory. Before this dis
cussion took place, Gen. Jno. E. Roller
availed himself of the large audience as
sembled to hear others, to announce-what
has been we'll known since Malone de-
clined to call Convention in that District
to nominate Republican candidate,-tha
he, Roller, would be candidate for Con-
gress in opposition to Hon. c. T. O'Ferrall,
the Democratic nominee. He is practically
the Republican candidate, and he will re-
ceive the vote of that party. He asked the
audience if they wished him to be a candi-
date, and they signlfed that, as Barkis was
SO very willing, they would assent to his
wishes and let him have the pleasure of
being showed under in November by
O'Ferrall. The Democrats had no OBJ
lection, as they knew he would be beaten,
and the Republicans could not object, as
they had previously agreed not to have any
other candidate than he, as he was a
goose that they would take pleasure in
plucking during the canvass. lie labored
to show that he had not left the Demo
cratic party, but that the Democratic party
had left him, and he will find himself effec-
tually cleft" on the 9th of November. He
closed his remarks when the other speakers
had been escorted to the stand on the
square from which they would address the
people.

A physician in the st. Louis Globe
Democrat SAYS: j regret TO see the
number of victims tuthe ahsiuthc habit
increasing, ms iii fact are the victims'to
every form of stimulant. The Young
men are %cultivating absinthc, and
when the present generation reaches
middle age the absinthe tippler will be
one OF the frequent guests at or
hospitals. which are now full of drunk
ards and narcotic-tak"rs. | am now
treating a man who has reached the
last stage. The effects are fearful. II
is \ drink that serves as Il powerful
stimulant at first, but it is the most
injurious i'll the end because of its
strength. 1t is easy to drink absinthe
to excess because it requires such a
small quantity to do the work. The in
toxication it causes is cXhilarating and
pleasant, but after it is drank to excess
the digestive organs are destroyed and
the appetite ruined. With the effects
worn off, comes y terrible thirst, with
giddlncss and a tingling in the ears,
mental depression and finally hallucina-
ton and loss of brain power. Tho
symptoms of an excessive drinker
breaking down are muscular q%uivcr-
ings, loss of physical strength, cmacia-
ton, and a sallow complexion. Paral-
ysis finally sends him to the grave.
The drink will hasten a mans ruin
faster than all the other drinks of the
modern drunkard. Absinthe was in
PRODUCED to civilization by the French
soldiers of Algiers after the Algerian
war of lS4i. 1t is 4 product of North
Africa, and the soldiers mixed it with
their wines as 4 fcbrifuge. They took
the habit to France, and now its manu-
factnre is one of the largest liquor
trades in Europe. What France does
not consume finds its way to America.
1t is chiefly made at Ncufchatel,
Switzerland, which averages over q
100000 gallons yearly. 1t is a pretty
liquid and nice to taste, but you would
not think to see it that it is made by
mashing the leaves and Towering tops
of four species of NORWOOD with
sweet flag, and angelica root, and star
anise fruit, and m%acerating them in
alcohol. The compound is distilled
after eight days soaking, and anise oil
is added to give it taste. OF course
limitations are made of essential oils
and barks with blue %vitriol, but the
genuine is deadly enough.
