Beginning the Prohibition Battle.

PHILADELPHIA. May 20.-Begin-
ming to-day, the Prohibition cam
paIgn in favor of the Constitutional
Amendment, disallowing the sale or
manufacture of malt or spirituous
liquors in the State will be waged in
earnest. The State headquarters have
provided wagons from which speak
ers will address the people in all the
small towns which have no railroad
facilities, Ex-State Senator Wolf will
take the stump this week. He pre-.
diets success for the amendment, and
this feeling prevails at both city and
State headquarters. The house-to-
house visits of agents in the employ
of the anti-liquor men, to ascertain
how voters will cast their ballots have
yielded good results. The agents of
the liquor men return glowing re.
ports of their work and these show,
according to the statements, that the
anti-liquor men will be badly beaten.
The reports are in conflict. and the
general belief is that the city will
not throw large majority against
the Amendment.

Genuine Happiness.

If, as it is claimed, happiness is one
object of living, it is certain that the
large wealth means unallowed felic-
itv. The possession of wealth is a
good thing. No one but a fool de-
rides those who seek to make money
legitimately, but wealth, when sud-
denly obtained, rarely brings con-
tentment. Men must be educated to
the enjoyment of wealth they can
not acquire the art of even spending
money iudiciously in a moment, or
even the knowledge how to use
wealth to their own advantage. Men
who acquire fortune by slow de.
grees ripen into a knowledge of its
proper use. Rapidly acquired for
tunes bring with them aspirations
which are never satisfied. The world
is apt to protest the demands of such
men.
You may take the blue book of
any city of even a few years ago, and
there will be the names of scores of
men who floated to the surface upon
gilded shingles who have passed
away, and their brief careers of pros
perity, which many, no doubt,
enyied, have terminated. perhaps in
dishonor, but more frequently in
poverty, the result of having obtain
ed in a year that which, if it had
come by degrees. would have been
kept, for then they would have at
tached a proper value to their wealth,
"When I spend borrowed money!"
remarked a spendthrift, sit don't
seem as if was spending anybody's
money" So it is with wealth. Light
ly come, lightly 60. Money honest.
ly and labOriously earned is apt to
stick. for the hand that has hardened
and the brow that has sweat in Sc
curing it are powerful reminders Of
its proper value. A well'rounded,
happy life is not to be built up by
feverish speculation brought on by
haste to become rich ; but a life
reaches its fullest perfection and &C.
quires its greatest capability for en-.
joyment when by moderate growth
its roots strike deep into the soil of
permanent prosperity land lis branch
es increase slowly till it reaches its
fullest legitimate maturity.

The Mighty United States.

If the United States were a small
power. her "original idea of diplom-
acy," as the German chancellor's
penmen call it, might be considered
a caprice and passed over with a
smile but her people are becoming
the greatest nation 10 the world. 1t
is probable that nothing short of
actual violence would now induce
any nation to attack her, while she
could, if she pleased, almost ruin the
commerce of any nation on the globe.
1t is true, she has scarcely any regu-
lar army, her $4,000 men being over.

special reports to the maritime pow
ers and if war were in immediate
prospect, her limitless command
alike of money and men would soon

altogether from her existing resource

Keep Your Promises.

The value of mans word depends
upon the mans respect for himself.
We sometimes hear of men whose
words are their bonds. This means
simply that the man in question
honors his own good name suffi-
GENTLY to desire to preserve it. We
hear of another man that he would
not be credible under oath. and touch
the worst extreme of self-debase-
ment. Promises kept inspire conf.
dence of the highest rank.
Never, never fail to keep promise.
Never make rash promise if you
can help it, but having made 1t. no
matter how rash, adhere to it. Let
your word ever be your bond, and
your credit will be the gamer. Train
yourself to calculate consequences
when you make pledges and when
you commit yourself stand ready to
bear the consequences. no matter at
what cost to yourself.
This is the secret of credit, of fair
fame in commerce or society. 1t is
the man who does not betray himself
who is the most successful in the end,
because all who know him thus are
confident that he will be as just to
them as he is to himself. One of the
worst enemies that Christianity has
to-day is the man or woman who
fails to keep the promises they have
made.

All those who really desire to do.
good, more than to be k7sot071 to do 1t,
may take comfort in this opportu-
nifty. Many persons complain that
their powers are so small, their edu.
cation so limited, their means so cir
cumscribed, that they cannot hope to
be of any use in the world. Let such
take courage. No one is so power
less that he cannot, in some way,
strengthen the hands of another ; no
one is so dull that he cannot help an
other to shine; no ones life is so
small that he cannot make some
other life greater. And in those
other lives, which the humble and
earnest man has aided to build up, he
will find his own life grow richer and
fuller. Everything done for Others,
with the sincere desire of doing good
to them and to the world, will react
upon the doer, bringing to him its
own satisfaction and the reward Of a
good Public Ledger.

The Next Congress.

Special Dispatch to Wheeling Intelligencer.
WASHINGTON, D. c., May 49,
General John B. Clarke, Clerk of the
House of Representatives, said to an
Ltelligencer representative to-day
that he thought the Democrats would
be in pretty good condition when
Congress convened. The Republic
cans will only have three more than
a quorum, and conceding that all the
new States will send solid Republic
can delegations they will then only
have FIVE more than quorum. Gen
eral Clarke expressed the opinion
that there was not much in any of
the contested cases which haye been
filed on the part of the Republicans
except West Virginia. These seemed
to be the best cases that the Republi-
cans had, The fourteen or fifteen
other cases will not amount to much.
He didn't think that the Republicans
would be able to seat any of their
contesting members, except possibly,
it might be one, or possibly two, of
the West Virginia contestants. If
the Republicans expect to seat any
of their contestants they will have to
keep quorum of their own side pres
ent all the time as it is possible that
upon the roll call the Democrats will
refrain from voting, and it looks as
if on the slender margin the Republi.
cans have it will be next to impossi-
BILE for them to keep quorum pres.
ent or even to muster that many
votes at any one time. The only
hope they have is that some more Of
the conscientious minority. who may
be opposed to filibustering, will vote
in the negative, Should there be
half dozen or more of the minority
voting nay with all the Republicans
present voting in the affirmative, a
quorum would be showed to be pres
ent and the majority in favor of un-
seating the sitting Democratic men,
her. However, if the Democratic
majority should refrain from voting
in body the probabilities are that
no action can be secured on contested
election cases. The seating of any of
the contestants at very early per-
iod of the coming session of Congress
looks exceedingly dubious.
I General Clarke thinks the Demo-
Gratis will act unitedly and stand TO-
| gether in an effort to break quorum
whenever there is vote to be taken
on a contested election case. At any
rate Messrs. Atkinson, Smith and
McGinnis haYe no very plain sailing
