Pits in the Mountains,

Again we moved forward down the
long valley, where soon after we came
upon what seemed wide and very shall
low ditch, incrusted at the bottom with
white clay, dried and cracked in the sun.
Under this fair outside, Reynal's eye de-
tected the signs of lurking mischief He
called to me to stop, and then, alighting
from his horse, picked up stone and
threw it into the ditch.
To my amazement it fell with dull
splash, breaking at once through the thin
crust, and scattering round the hole a
yellowish creamy fluid, into which it sank
and disappeared. A stick, five or six feet
long, lay ON the ground, and with this we
sounded the insidious abyss close to it's
edge. 1t was just possible to touch the
bottom.
Places like this are numerous in the
Rocky mountains. The buffalo, in his
blind and needless walk, often plunges
into them unwares. Down he sinks; one
snort of terror, one convulsive struggle,
and the slime calmly flows above his
shaggy head, the languid undulations of
its sleek and placid surface alone betray-
ing how the powerful monster writhes in
his death throes below. - The Oregon

The recent severe defeat of the Govern
ment party in the Southampton election
is almost wholly due to the pronounced
Indignation which is felt at the govern
ment proposals to impose enormous bur-
dens upon the country at large, for the
sole purpose of compensating the liquor
dealers for the pecuniary losses which
must fall upon them in being compelled
to obey the law and submit to the wishes
of the nation. From every quarter vigor-
Gus protests are heard, and all over the
country the moderate Conservatives, the
Unionist Liberals and the Radicals are
making themselves heard in opposition,
and are warning the government that if
the compensation clauses are maintained
in the budget the Salisbury min
istry will certainly be wrecked People
whose political leaning is decidedly toward
the Unionists in other matters, would
rather see the government turned out of
office than assent to consolidation of the
parties in perpetuity on the basis of an
abhorrent traffic of this kind The cabi-
net are keenly conscious of their danger,
which has been shown them Enthusiastically
by the Southampton election, and they
will abandon the licensing clauses of the
budget, leaving the liquor question to be
dealt with in special bill. Such bill
they would introduce in parliament next
year, or any other year in the future; the
further off the better for them.

ILL TEMPERED NONSENSE.
Defeated Editor Threatens Republican
Vengeance on the Amendment

A Defeated Editor Threatens Republican
Vengeance the Amendment.
The following ill tempered nonsense
appeared in late Huntington, w. Va,
Commercial as editorial The editor of
The Commercial was the Republican can
didate for mayor, and because he was
beaten he chooses to vent his wrath upon
the Prohibitionists, who, as we are ad-
vised, took no part nor lot in the election
and made no combinations with or for any
candidates, nor sought to make any.
But here's how the defeated editor
goes on:
1.-The entire saloons of the city, with
one solitary exception, subscribed bounte.
ously to down,th Republican ticket The
Prohibitionists, too, almost solidly voted
with the saloons. Hereafter let these
shriekers for protection to home as against
the saloon seek votes for the constitu-
tional amendment in the brothels and dens
of this city. Republicans, remember that
the Prohibs of this city are now and are
henceforth the allies and hackers of the
Democracy and the saloon 1t has been
asserted that the Prohibitionists were an
annex OF the Democratic party Last
thursdays election puts the question be-
yond doubt. The amendment has re-
ceived deadly blow Republicans will
strike out from the shoulder
Now. the facts are, that the Republican
ticket was as much a whisky ticket as the
Democratic. Indeed, two men who were
first nominated, being opposed to license,
were squeezed off the ticket and others
substituted to make it solid for whisky.
MIR, Flooding, well known temperance
man, was defeated in the convention for
mayor, and the editor of The Commercial
was nominated in the interests of the
saloons, and isn't he in pretty position
to dragon Prohibitionists and threaten
the amendment If his advice to Repub-
ilcans to oppose the amendment has no
more effect than were his appeals for them
TO vote for himself, there is no cause for
alarm, and we are sure there is none.-

WHAT OUR ENEMIES SAY.
A Few Interesting Opinions About tho
Anti-Saloon FizzIe.

Anti-Saloon FizzIe.
The second annual convention Of the
National Anti -Saloon Republican confer
once met in the large hall Of the Cooper
Union on the I'd inst. There were some
200 delegates present, of whom about one
quarter were from this state. The chair
man announced that the Republican party
is divided as follows: "75 per cent. op-
posed to the rum shop. Is per cent. In
different or afraid of the saloon men, 10
per cent. for rum"
Congressman Brodsky, the Republican
leader in the Eighth district of New York,
has an opinion about the anti-saloon move
ment within his party, and he does not
hesitate to express it. '1f the Republi-
cans want to elect their president" he
says. "they had better let the saloons
alone. The anti-saloon Republicans don't
amount to row Of pins" And Congress-
man White, Of Brooklyn, supplements
this with declaring that otis no use try
ing to get up national Anti-Saloon Re-
publican organization. Those who are
trying mean we'll, but this is not polit-
lcal question The moment you bring 1t
into the political field you are endangering
the Republican party. The defeat Of
Blaine is the best evidence of that"
Of all the humbugs ever put forth by
the Blaine managers. the anti saloon party
ought to be placed first. Every year It
goes through perfectly transparent farce
Of holding Convention" which repre-
sents nobody save the few persons who
come together of their own accord and re-
solve that, while rum is dreadful evil,
efforts for the suppression of it ought
never to assume form which will take
votes from the Republican party One Of
the speakers at yesterdays session gave
away the game" by saying that the ''de-
feat of James G. Blaine by temperance
votes in 1884 was q crime. This was re-
ceived with tremendous enthusiasm and it
ought to be made the declaration of prin-
ciples by the convention" It is notice
able that all the presidential candidates
who were invited to attend this year were
unable to be present, and sent very
guarded regrets. 1t would be interesting
to know who foots the conventions"
hills.-Bonfort's Spirit Circular.
Sam Small's rude but effective elo-
quence may not be to the taste of the
fastidious, but any movement in which
he takes part is sure to be full of life and
human interest. Whether he and his
colleagues can succeed in inducing the
Prohibition Democrats of Georgia to go
over to the third party cannot be foretold;
but if he doesn't give Georgia the hottest
and most picturesque politics she has seen
for many moons he must have lost in his
northern travels some of that rough vigor
and raciness of phrase which recommend
him strongly to great popular audiences.
And there is no people more appreciative
of those qualities of the popular orator
or more susceptible to them than the
Georgians.-New York Sun Oem.)
