favorite pastimes was to get out after
MONDAY lunch and toss two pound can
of stuii as far as they could heave it,
more than once saw them stand fifty
feet apart. and on three or four occasions
saw the can miss their clutch and fall to
the earth Our foreman and all the
other men did great deal of swearing
over this foolishness, and once the men
were discharged for il. but they were
taken back after time, and as we grew
more used to the stuff we took more
chances
One day the men got ont with their
can, and as the fun was about to begin
our foreman said
Boys, that nonsense will he the death
of you yet.
Bet you ten to five it won't" replied
one OF them
YES, and I'll bet ten to one it won't"
bluffed the other, as he SHOOK his wallet
at the foreman
The latter failed to cover. and as he
sauntered off down the hill followed
him We had walked about 200 feet
when we were suddenly lifted up and
thrown fiat TO the earth. and then fol
lowed a crash which seemed to have

THE PENNSYLVANIA.

The DEFEATIN PENNSYLVANIA.
THE prohibatory amendment In |
Pennsylvania was defeated by
$4,000 votes. The enemies all
voted, but the conservative friends
at home. The vote of
the state fell short of the last Presi.
Dental vote by two hundred and
ifty thousand. Third party papers
figure out many reasons for defeat,
the main one they give is that the
question cannot be made successful
until 1t becomes a national work.
1t is difficult to understand how
there could be any benefit to the
cause by operating nationally
instead of by states. They say by
the concentration Of the liquor
power it is more easily defeated in
q state than If the whole nation
was engaged. But the temperance
people have the same power Of
con centration. Then before you
can get national action you must
have the consent of a majority of
the states. It does look like 1t is
easier to operate on the people OF
one state, at a given time than on
a majority Of all the states. When
would prohibition have been &C.
complished in Kansas, Iowa and
Maine if the work would have
depended on the action of the
nation. There would to-day be a
solid liquor delegation from all the
states, but admit that the three
states Kansas, Iowa and Maine
should send said delegations to
Congress how would 1t benefit
them until the nation adopted pro.
hibition. The states must first be
converted before there can be nat
ional effective action. There is nc
objection to national work as 1t car
go on just the same. The discussion
Of the temperance question In
Pennsylvania had never been had
before. 1t is not q failure because
there were not enough votes t.
adopt the amendment. There is 9
preliminary work that must b.
done before any great reform car
be made successful. 1t is true
however that the enforcement O
law can be made more successful
when all the states work in harmo
ny, but shall a state continue K
have whisky laws, because thu
nation or a majority Of the states
fail to do right on the question
Because a whole family refuses t
be converted shall we fail to assis
in the conversion of an individual
in that family, certainly not. Thel
let the work 90 on in county, stat
and nation. God through his sol
healed individuals, not nations
So must reforms begin with indi
viduals. Suppose Congress at it
next session should by joint resolu
ton ask the people to vote on tn
same day in all the states for o
against prohibition would yo'
expect success. No, there is not
man in the nation who woul'
expect success because the peopl
of the states are not sufficient,
ripe for the reform. But the dis
cussion all over the nation woul'
be an advancement in public sent
ment, in that respect there woul'
be great good done. There mus
then be such a sentiment In ever
state that we shall be able to sen
lprohibitionists enough to contrc
the question and after that ther
must be such q sentiment in all tn
states that will authorize tn
change in the constitution of tn
United States. So that Prohibitio
will be in the supreme law of tn
Nation.
