Coronation.

The lilies are white in the cleaning,
The slumberous lilies and sweet,
And by them the soft winds are roaming,
And silent and slow are their feet;
They linger and dream of the places
Of dangerous fragrance and gloom,
In leaf Swallowed, tropical spaces,
Whose depths are tangle of bloom.
Where leaves whisper low in the thckct,
The flame of the FREELY is bright,
And sharply the song of the cricket
Rings out In the stiffness of night;
The pine trees Ike huge giants tower
Along the far crest of the hill,
And ewes perfect halmonies dover
The note of the lone whippoorwill.
And here, where the shadows are deeper,
A mystical presence is strong,
And soft as the pulse of sleeper
Comes the tones of Il echoless song;
NV heart with the anthem is ringing,
For 10, have knet at Loves shrine,
And hands that are trustful and clinging
hold in the elasping of mine.

Replace the Stone.

One day General Washington and
some of his officers while staying at
Boston, went to visit Chelsea. On
their way they stopped to rest and
refresh themselves at the seat of Mr..
Dexter, beautiful spot, surrounded
by stately elms and green fields.
They alighted, and after securing
their horses under the trees, went to
partake of the good cheer within.
AS they come out one of the gen.
tlemen accidently knocked off a stone
from the wall which ran before the
house. Washington told him he had
better replace the stone.
"No," answered the officer; ~
will leave that for somebody else"
Washington then went quietly and
put the stone up again, saying as he
did so:
81 always make it rule in visit
ing place, to leave things in as good
order as | find them"

stretching out her arms and putting

Did his little ears hear right? They
did, for there was a kiss on Susy's
lips. A smile broke over his angry
face, like sunshine on a dark cloud.
~ kiss 'oo," he then said and

and kissed each other right heartily.

Two years ago a saloon keeper, whose
place of business, in Burlington, Iowa, was
epjoined as a nuisance, appealed to the SUI
preme Court, and after filing a supersedeas
bond continued the traffic. The injunction
was sustained, and the saloon keeper again
gave bond, carried his case to the United
States Supreme Court, where it is not ike
ly to be reached for a year or two yet.
Recently proceedings were brought to have
him arrested and fined for contempt OF
court in continuing the Illegal traffic not
~withstanding the injunction. His defence
was that, pending the decision OF the Fed
eral Court, the injunction did not apply,
but the District Court now decides hat the
injunction must stand and that the saloon
must close. The saloon keeper at once
closed up and others will follow suit, as
they admit that further resistance to the
law is useless.

The kindergarten of Crime.

Is it not plain that the saloon is really a
potent factor in what are known as ''hard
times.' A leech which is never filled,
which is always sucking in money cut of
the pockets of the masses, must not its ef-
feet be finally to aid i'll the scarcity of
money and the dorargement of the finan-
cial balance? 1t certainly should be clear
to every one that this is the effect. There
are men who have so little powerof thought
as to believe in a helpless, childish way
that the saloon ''aids business" They
suppose, apparently, because money passes
in the transaction that it must necessarily
be "business." There is not the first ele-
ment of real business about it. Trade or
commerce, presupposes the exchange OF
one commodity for another. Generally one
of these is money. In every Legitimate
transaction both buyer and seller have
practically equivalent values in their hands
after its completion. The first one had a
sun of money, the second one had an
equivalent amount of goods. They ex-
Cl@nSCs ~ |ltC ocCpiih III 10 liiO ilOuNJ ,
the first one has the goods. But in the
case of the saloon how is it? The work
ingman pays over his money. What has
he to represent that money as he staggers
home to his miserable family? Nothing
and worse than nothing. lie has not only
lost his money, but he has degraded his
manhood, injured his health, lost his self-rc-
spect and the respect and confidence of all
decent men. Tho exchange is abominably
One-sided. 1t is entirely to the advantage
of the saloonist. lie has the money and
the drinker has lost not only it but all that
makes life worth living along with it.
There is 30 business about it. 1t is the
establishment which fosters idleness and
debauehery, which increases the poverty
and degradation OF humanity; it Is the
training school of vice, the kindergarten OF
crime. 1t is an evil tree, and its fruits are
evil. 1t is astonishing that any SANE man
can allow himself, even by implication, TO
do aught that will aid il continuing It's ex-
istcnce or in fostering its growth. Let
every honest reader ponder the problem

We heard it remarked the other day that
the Prohibitionists were people of one
idea" It seems to US that their national
platform covers about as broad a field as
a political platform ought to cover, and it
does not ignore any of the questions which
seem foremost now before the people. 1t
has all the issues necessary, and none too
many. Itdon't pay to put too many eggs
under one hen. There is danger of some
of them not Matching. But the Prohibi-
tionists are people OF one idea in this sense;
they have one idea that the other parties
nave not got; it is the idea that it is time
the rum shop question was settled, and the
policy of suppression and determination
definitely adopted in state and nation, be-
fore the rum shop suppresses and extermi-
mates the best blood of the country. This
idea is one that the old parties ~sedulously
avoid, but they will eventually have it to
meet. The one dominant idea of the old
parties at present seems to be for the
''outs' to get in. and the sins" to stay in,
and their handling of other ideas, whether
on the rum question or any other, seems to
be directed by the probabilities of getting
in, or staying in, as the ease may be Let
the Prohibitionists stick to their ''oEe
idea" 1t is a grand, good one, and one
can gainsay it.

The Camden Daily Post has been sold
by Bartram L. Bonsall to Edward Fur
long, of the Philadelphia North american,
and Harry Bonsall, the former owner of
the paper and who has been the acting
editor. The consideration, We understand,
is 500, 900.
1t is reported from Wisconsin that the
women of that State are organizing Dem
ocratic Clubs, and intend to take a hand in
the political struggle now in progress. For
several years past brave, devoted women
have been banded together in an organiza-
ton to fight the saloons that were destroy
ing their boys, their husbands, their faith
ers and even their daughters, and in a
large majority of instances they are most
devoted adherents of the political party
that has the same purpose. 1t will be in
teresting to learn just why these Wiscon-
sin ladies are preparing to aid the Demo-
cratic party. 1t can hardly be the tariff
that attracts them, for woman, as a rule,
knows nothing of dry and abstract ques-
tons of public policy. Still there must be
a motive, for woman never acts without
one.
A number Of successful experiments in
signalling by illumination at a distance
were recently made on Mount Hood by a
party from the United States Signal Office.
They have just returned to Portland, Ore
gon, from the trip, during which cold, Bit
ter weather prevailed, accompanied by a
binding snowstorm. Lieutenant O'Neill
reports having distinctly seen IN the night
of the 18th of July flashes of calcium light
from the photograph made by United States
Signal Officer Glass in Portland. He was
unable to read the signals owing to the
great distance and a murky condition OF
the atmosphere, but the flashes were dis
tinctly visible. These flashes were an
swered by Lieutenant O'Neill by burning
small quantities of red light, and these il
Nominations were plainly seen in Portland.
Under favorable conditions O'Neill and
Glass express the opinion that photograph.
ic signals can be easily read for a distance
Of sixty. five miles. This marks a long adj
vance in the way Of illuminating, and the
expedition with all its drawbacks has been
an undeniable success.

On the subject of the protection of wool,
now one of the all-absorbing political ques-
lions of the day, there was still more wis
dom thar humor in the remark of the col
ored delegate to the National Convention
at indianapolis. who said that the wool he
wanted protection for, more than any
other, did not grow on top of a Sleeps
back, but was growing on his little boys
head. That remark illustrates just the
difference between the kind of protection
which this party would give, had it the
power, and the protection which old par
ties give to the ten million homes of our
land, and who have the power. But so
with me for a moment and | viii show
| you the homes that have been protected
aud enriched by that traffic which has been
so well cared for by the old political par
ties of this country. Every stone and
brick and board and Single and nail that
covers those within has sent some soul
down to a drunkard's grave and to a
deeper and darker eternity beyond. Then
go within that house and there every apart
ment is adorned with articles of taste,
value, luxury, beauty, to be sure, but all
these tell you in mute %eloquenee that they
were purchased at the cost of immortal
souls. In that carpet upon which you
tread, SO tender to the foot, so beautiful to
the eye, in that you can see the crimson
of a fathers blood, and the lake white
ground from young mems bones; and in
the still more delicate colors of the drapery
and the decorations of that home you can
also see the ultramarine of ehildren's eyes
and the tear drops of grief and woe wrung
from an innocent mothers heart. And
the flexible springs of the chairs and the
furniture in that home also tell you of the
sinews of strong mems arms. Those are
the homes that have been protected and
enriched by the two old political parties of
this country for a quarter of a century
past. There has been the wrong doing,
not to say the objectionable sin of the old
parties against the homes of this land,
wonderfully wrought upon the protection
of wool and the tariff in general, but with
little concern for the moral welfare of the
home.
II protection to the American laborer is
to be the great question, aud of which |
am in favor as much as any one else, why
not protect him to the extent of at least
$500, coo, 000a year by closing the saloons?
The open saloon will always rob a large
number Of workmen Of their wages. no
matter how high these may be. The party
of prohibition proposes both to close the
saloon and protect the American workman
