THELIOUOR QUESTION.

Hon. H. H. Keith differs from the
opinion rendered by Judge Aikens, in
reference to the liquor question.
He saws that every saloon keeper who
at present keeps an open saloon can be
prosecuted under the old law, for selling
without a license. In very many cases
this will be tested, and if found to hold
may be generally applied. The fact that
Unconstitutional amendments ignored,
simply because they believe there is no
law to enforce it, shows the depravity
Of the traffic. Little more can be ex-
pected from dealers, when the press OF
the town continue standing advertise
ments for those engaged in the unlawful
business.

WHAT CAUSES HARD TIMES:

"What causes hard times?" is the ques- |
ton asked at the capital. The states
man thinks, studies and talks, and then
thinks he is puzzled. Puzzled is the mer
chant to know why people are complain
ing and always wanting time. "Time,"
says the mechanic, "why, 1 have plenty
OF time. What I want is work"
"'Work," says the farmer, "why, 1 have
plenty OF work, and so has the whole
family, but it does not pay very we'll"
ssWe have been republicans, mugwumps
democrats and republicans again and
hard times stick to all OF them. and very
close to u.s."
Hard times along the Atlantic, the
Lakes, the Gulf and the Pacific. Hard
times all over. Hard times it will be
until the producer is paid d fair price for
his labor and the capital invested.
When the farmer sells his wheat for
60 cents, that by a fair comparison Of
his labor with other skilled labor, has
reasonably cost rs cents to 81, he is
falling behind. When corn sells for 20
cents that is worth 40 to so cents, the
producer is losing. When good COW
worth $50 sells for SIG, the owner is
experiencing hard times.
The people engaged in farming are
many millions, and most OF them are
more or less injured by these unfair
prices. Is it any wonder the farmers,
their wives and children lock discour-
aged?
The strong arms OF the nation are
growing tired; the life blood Of the nation
is chilled and the heart is sick.
The farmers are doing what they can
with as little extra expense as possible.
If the farms were paying fair dividends,
nearly all the extra income would he
spent for what the farm does not pro-
duce. Large houses would be built /,
containing better furniture, better ward
robes and fuller pantries. Barns would
take the place OF sheds and carriages the
place OF sheep skin saddles. More chill
dren would bein schools and more hired
laborers on the farms.
This extra dividend would be mostly
4 spent for mechanics labor, in trade, for
educational purposes and in travel.
/ What political party Is ready to work
for the good OF the weary arms OF labor
as well as the Offices? 1t is said there
are statesmen at the capital. Who will
propose a plan to help the people?
Theparty that can fill the reservoir is
the one that will water the town. The
party that feeds the work horses vel
can haul heavy loads into the barn
The party that helps the farmer is th'
one that will bring good times, An.
party plan for making good times tha

W. G. T. U. COLUMN.

TEMPERANCE NEWS AND NOTES. 7,..-r=4
Tie next convention of The National W.
@. I. q. will be held in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is stated that ninety three per cent of
all children taking the temperance pledge
remain faithful to their early VOWS.
Il When q young man starts out to get a
drink and passes ar old drunkard on the
way, we wonder that he doesn't think of
him.
There are many beverages more than
half the bulk of which is alcohol. irish
and Scotch whisky contain nearly fifty
five per cent. Brandy and gin nearly as
much. In strong ale there is nearly seven
per cent of alcohol.
DR.. Josiah Strong, author of Sour Coun-
try," says: cat no time in all the year and
at no place in all the land is there so much
of the saving power of the nation gathered
together as at the annual convention of
the w. G. T. W
In the first nine months of last year
England consumed 11,213,47 gallons of
wine, 18,253,251 gallons of spirits, and
1885,, ,S1S gallons of beer. In this year
she has consumed 11,505,296 gallons Of
wine, Is, ,7s4 ,201 gaiIons. spirits. ana 21,-
92O,903 gallens of beer.
Professar William T. Anderson, head of
the Brooklyn Normal School for Physical
Education, addressed the National conven-
ton at Chicago on his specially and gen
erously offered to train gratuitously five
young women for W. g. T. q. evangelists
of physical culture.
While the number of existing drink Ii
censes in London he's not increased of late
years, the dram-shops of Paris have risen
from "a 900 in 1880 to neatly 10000 in the
present year. In thirty years the con-
sumption of alcohol in France has trebled,
and in ten years it has doubled, the aver
age consumption being twelve quarts for
each male adult.
Miss Sallie A. Moore, of Philadelphia,
President of St. Malachi's Ladies' Total
Abstinence Society first Roman Cath
olic woman to address a public assembly
in the presence of bishop and priests
recently sent the following message to
Miss Frances willard: mo sectarianism
in religion, no sectarianism in politics, no
sex in citizenship, but each and all of Us
for God and Home and native land"
Haye we Christian civilization? We
are told that in the city of New York I50,,
900 children are day and night, and night
and day, under the demoralizing influences
of the saloon; we are told by the Citizens
League of Chicago 10000 children go day
after day into your saloons and drink and
bring away drink. We have heard from
the platform here of your $70,000,000 for
liquor, aud 26,OOO.OOO for beer. Do you
think the churches pointing heavenward
do you think great societies that meet
together and send away their millions to
the heather can atone for that?-Mrs.

NV Life AndI.

My Life And I.
Ny life and sat side by side,
The yellow lamplight's roaming fell
Upon her form-my soul she piled
With all the pangs OF hell.
Thy hopes Icried-they promised good,
Where are the Joys that should be mine,
Whereis Ambitions mount that stood
Cloud reaching and divine?
Why did'st thou ever come at all
To fret me with thy silent care;
To taunt me with my PRISONS wall
And goad me with despair?
My life vouchsafed me ne'er word,
Her veil my longing looks denied
Alone my beating heart heard
Against my aching side.
Come share with me the sun-ba ked crust
OF poverty, and mount my throne,
Ambitions mole-hill made Of dust,
would not rule alone.
Wilt thou nor speak nor taste the cup
Which thy deceiving hand filed,
Nor with the spirit deign to sup
Which thy sweet lie hath killed?
Me thought her cheeks began to pale,
And yet dared not lift the veil
That hid them from mine eyes.
Unmoved and silent as the grave,
Nor word, nor sign, nor look gives she,
No part OF all my sonl may crave,
Will ever come to me.
Oh, she might be some sullan fate,
Some Sibyl in her mountain cell;
Like one who weaves the web of hate,
Beside the glare of hell.
Still on the tangled blood-red skein,
Her nimble hand the needle plies,
I watch the flying thread in vain
With tear beclouded eyes.
Swift as my thought her needle glides,
Strange figures on the fabric glow:
She with her shadow darkIy hides
All that seek to know.
But we'll I know, the crimson thread
On which she plies her cruel art
With ceaseess fingers; is made red
With color from my heart.
She came to me no not whence,
She still keeps closely by my side,
know not when she will go hence,
Nor where she will abide.
have no power to bid her stay;
dare not love her if would;
may not bid her go away,
ROBERT BURNS WILSON.
