Politics and Pleasure.

Speaking of the notables at the Hope
fair the Herald says:
Among the fair visitors last Thurs
day was one whom the Herald always
delighted to honor. Walter Nichols,
"our Walter" the polished, affable and
and honest gentleman who so ably fills
the office of register of deeds. is the one
to whom we refer, and when we speak
of him in this vein we only reflect, a
sentiment heard On every side.
Genial Mike Bert was also down and
renewed many old acquaintance who
helped him into the Office of county
clerk, which he is filling so acceptably,
so gracefully and so capably. Mike
will also be candidate for second
term in 1889 and has safe thing.
Winfield Scott Stambaugh gave the
soldier boys talk at noon, which was
cOmplimented by all the vets. STAN
made even on his trip by slowing away
an unusual quantity of baked beans,
hard tack and coffee at the noon hour,
aud the boys say he took to them as
naturally as duck to mill pond.
Ben Peck, the wheel horse of the
Jefferson township Republicans. and
who is the nominee for probate judge,
was on hand by a large and enthusiastic
majority and extended his already large
circle of friends and acquaintance who
wish to see him don the ermine. Ben
don't put on any scollops or fIills, but
as a slayer he has wide reputation.

was modest, yet conspicuous visitor.
Those who don't know him personally
know him by his works and all were
glad to pledge him assistance in his
race. Mr.. Ford has had no superior
among his predecessors in office, and
his reelection is to be deyotedly wished
for.

The entire history of it has vanished

over in the stiffness of long sum-
mer's day.
As | contemplated those panoramas
of time and space. which the centuries
Of the past defled slowly before me
with their large corteges of disap-
peared glories, the being who peopled
the revived worlds to their furthest
extent cast away their shrouas and
walked IN the flowery paths of life; all
that secular prodigious past became
present, and the millions of extinct
suns, of era upon era, became reIight-
ed and resplendent. Innumerable stars
appeared in the sky, which our mortal
eyes have never seen. and the light of
life radiated upon.celestial shores that
succeeded each other to infnity. Sud-
denly an immense black veil fell from
the hight of the skies in front of those
luminous bodies, and beheld no
more. Before that veil the planet on
which we are was turning with its
velocity of hundred thousand kilo-
meters an hour. and was again in the
condition of the other inhabitants of
the earth. who live without seeing be-
yond their horizon, and who imagine
that in time. as in space, our mediocre
race of human beings is the only one
that ever had place in the universe.

To the Editor OF the Pioneer:
.Mzz6AuzA In the Declaration of
!: g; !: !: !; ): i: !: !:
aMHEHEfI al as the firm belief of
ioy freedom. How strange
that at the same time human slavery
was existing and for many years there
after no effort was male to make prac-
tice agree with belief! But the time
came when all was made right; they
c,uId not go back in what they had
said. for there they agreed with God
but tile action was to agree with the
words. How Let January i, 1868,
was terrible way to settle it, but
seemingly the only way. We now have
it true. All men are born equally free.
To-day We boast of being the most
civilized people on earth. Much may
truly be said of our greatness among
the nations. AT the same time we toll
crate in Our midst most destructive
and ABDOMINAL traffic, destructive of law
and good customs, of Christian institu-
tions and all that elevates man. 4
drinking practice has grown up that
destroys manhood, happiness and
worth, letters a man body and soul.
AS a people We are all fettered more or
less by it. We try TO lift men up,
especially the young, but here we have
an enemy that sometimes pulls more
down. We are crippled In our efforts
to have the best government and laws
of any country on earth. Our Votes
are counterbalanced by the mighty H.
terests of a class that sell, buy and
drink vile, soul and body damaging
beverage. The declaration of indie
peDdence from this thral!om has been
made, and it is being proclaimed
through the lenght and breadth of the
land. When will freedom really come?
God grant US the mercy to find the
solution aud final settlement OF this
gigantic question, before it reaches the
,
when it had to be settled with blood.
1t must be settled. We must be free
from the curse of rum. This people
must settle this question aud settle it
right. And it has many more ques-
tions to settle. 1t has lofty position;
it flourishes in many God-pleasing in
stitutions But it must destroy the
weeds that grow up among it's corn, or
come down and leave the lead to other
nations-nations that may be heather
to-day and sitting at its feet. Already
this worm is at the very heart of our
body polite, chiefly in our large cities.
Then all hands to the rudders and do
as God has declared or woe to our proud
ship of State. even though it have ribs
and keel of steel. Let us pursue the
right course, and leave consequences
to God, who gave tie first impulse to
all these movements for the rescue OF
men. The best is: God is with US.
Their rock is not like our rock. Help
is coming from all nationalities in our
land. God is awakening his warriors
on all sides. Victory will come.
