The End Of the World.

A Shelby county, Alabama, hard-shell-
ed Baptist, has had printed and is distribut-
ing circular as follows:-Prepare all of ye,
for the end is at hand. haye read il in
the stars, and angels have come to me in
my dreams and told me the glad tidings.
The world will come to an end on Monday,
Nov. 5, in the year of our Lord 1888. Pre-
pare, all of ye, for the great day. God has
fastened the day, because of the wicked
generation of men called politicians. They
are all falsifiers and blasphemers, and shal
be burned in lakes of liquid fire. because
they fear not God and are given to works
of iniquity. Rivers of boiling water will
burn the Prohibitionist, and sea of fire
and birthstone will open and swallow al
Democrats and Republicans. Prepare, al
of We, and remember the day is at hand

An Eastern exchange has the following:
The speech which Allen G. Thurman de-
livered in Port Huron. Michigan, shows
that age has not dimmed his clear insight
into the political situation or lessened
the boldness with which he s~catters the
sophistries Of the opposition.
In many respects it was a model speech
and will serve as . pattern for those who
are to enter the campaign as instructors
Of the people. IL contained a common
sense, hard headed, simply stated argu.
ment in favor of tariff reduction. II was
not an oratorical effort, had in il no sub.
lime, soul stirring, hair lifting bursts OF
eloquence which make the hearers feel as
though a centipede were crawling up
their spinal columns; no glowing periods
which carried the audience up in q bal.
loon and left them to find their own way
back to the earth, but chained the atten-
tion by its earnestness and convinced by
its facts.
In most campaign speeches there is too
much buncombe, carloads Of hifalutin
spread. esgleism, boisterous mouthings,
frantic gesticulations, as though men ar
que best when they saw the air; a very
considerable dependence for effect on
calling the other side a set of fools,
knaves, political footpads, while our side
is wholly made up Of archangels who hide
their wings under their waistcoats out Of
sheer modesty.
Thurman jumped into his subject at
once, appealed to the homely sense Of the
crowd, declared that "the way to treat
. people honestly, fairly and wisely, is to
take no more taxes out Of their pockets
than the Government actually needs for
its expenditures" and forthwith proved
that the Republicans can't increase the
happiness, prosperity or business Of the
country. as they say they can, by collect.
ing q surplus and then cudgelling their
brains to find o WAY TO spend it.

A Great Crime That Calls for severe
Punishment.

We learn that there is considerable
dissatisfaction among the Indians at
Ely, going to the extent Of threatening
open revolt against the whites. Their
alleged grievance is that the whites get
their squaws drunk and use them for
base purposes. This trouble should be
nipped in the bud by the officers Of the
law, OF which there is a full quota now in
Ely. And the first step that should be taken
is to arrest and hold for trial all parties
found giving or selling liquor to Indians.
The law is on the Statute books. En-
force it officers Of the peace; and don't
let this trouble assume such shape that
We may any day be called to chronicle
the massacre OF innocent men-perhaps,
women and children. This dilly.dallying
with men who violate the laws made for
the public good. because it is thought too
expensive to enforce them, is not the
right thing. 1t is to protect the lives
and property Of the people that good
citizens pay burdensome taxes without a
murmur to support officers, whose duty
it is to execute the laws. Why don't
they do it!-White Pine News.

How IL should be Served.

Next to politics in the Fatherland
comes the momentous question as to the
quality and quantity of the annual brew
Of beer, and any learned articles on the
question or hat of improving the flavor
of the fayorite brands is received with
widespread attention. Thus, in a re.
cent periodical devoted to Austrian
breweries and malt kilns, there appears a
treatise on the all-important question
whether beer should be served in glasses
or in earthenware pots. The writer, a
well. known authority, afirms that a glass
of beer exposed for four minutes to the
rays of the sun acquires an unpleasant
smell and taste, whereas an equal quan.
tity Of beer in an earthware vessel closed
with a lid retains its good qualities even
when summed for an indefinite period.
According to the author every species
of light, from polar to lamp light. is
more or less injurious to beer in glasses.
Beer, being thus susceptible, the sun is
its deadly enemy, and to preserve the
popular beverage from harm necessltates
the universal adoption of Bavarian stone
mugs.
