publicly acknowledge whom they propose
to vote for, thus abolishing the secrecy
Of their ballot; vagneness in defining

loophole TO fraud. and that clause permit

A temperance writer has given US the
following original sentiments concerning
the popular beverage known as hall and
half: The title of "half and half is
given to a mixture composed of two sorts
of liquor. To the d~runkard's wife it sug-
grsts that her ''better half" has proved fer
worse instead of for better. 1t may also
signify the many ~half-dollars that have
been transferred from the drunkard's
pocket into the saloonkeeper's till. In
some cases it is suggestive of haif-witted
children, born so because then father was
a d~runkard-half and half-the best half
of the man gone and the other going. Who
or what shall stop him?

What is to become of our farmers? We
can't make off ce-holders of one-half of
them, not even if those VINO for long years
have foddered at the public crib were
turned out on the graveled highway to
die. as die they would if turned ont. We
can't make governors, senators, legisla-
tors and sherifTs of them all, although
once in a while one might be found to
make very respectable presidential tim
Der. They don't want the position of road
supervisor, selectman or member OF couR-
ell as these with all their accumulated
honors bring with it but very little money.
They want something to offset the potato
blight, the hog cholera, Colorado bag,
army worm, rose bug, the commission
merchant, the mortgage hoide and good
ness knows what and all. Protecting all
sorts of manufactured goods and making
them dearer IN the market, don't help
them any. Passing nicely worded reso-
buttons at political conventions before
election, and rubbing the hair the wrong
way after election, don't help them any.
The lightning rod peddler, the thing-a-ma-
gig patent churn swindler, the bogus fer
tilizer agent and the thousand and. one
other frauds turned loose are just so many
mill stones about the farmers neck to
shoot him down the inclined plane that
leads to the foot of the hill, poverty. Sure
enough, what are we TO do with the
farmer? Can any one answer?

people are not ready for it as a State ques-

T. Starr and George Stanton are elected
they will doubtless vote to replace the

to vote on this question, cast your vote for

Rev. Adama Van Scheltema has been

Amsterdam the civilian House." a SUBJ

ance. The lower foo: is mostly occupied
with school rooms; the upper, with school
rooms and an auditorium. The schools
are free to the children of the poor. Care
full religious instruction is given, and our
system of scientific temperance education
is carried out. Diagrams and charts are
used in abundance. Rev. Van Scheltema's
work is for total abstinence, and he is him.

drunkards and children can be benefited

Although nearing his eightieth year he
still writes much and translates many
hymns and temperance songs, as well as

The aim of the Democrats, if they can
get both branches of the State legislature,
is to open all public houses on Sunday at
noon and sell liquor the balance of the day.
This is the programme. If you favor
Sunday liquor selling to demoralize your

candidates. They doubtless can be relied
on to vote as they are expected to on this
question. If you disfavor the Dissertation
of the Sabbath, vote for Richard T. Starr
and George Stanton.

Tne bondage of Drink.


You think love it? If this nerveiess hand
Could gain immortal strength this very hour,
Ia sweep the hellish traffic from the land,
And crush its Lighting, m~addening, night
mare power.
Yea, now, with all my latest, dying breath,
I'll curse the thing that drags me down to
death.
Love it? Iloathe it! Yeti drink and drink,
And hate my bondage with a loathly hate.
And hate myelf, as through the town l stink
The pledge? No, no! Too late-too late.
No pledge!I've triedittwice-a waste OF breath
Too late. There's no release for me but
death.
Its bad enough to drink; but not to drink
Doth such a train OF CHASTITY horrors wake
As in one hour would leave me dead, l think.
All, keep away, ye fiends, Tor PHYS sake!
The very thought of them affects my brain,
My end will be when they shall come again.
Love rum? I'd love 20 hold my head up high
And breathe Gods air a free and fearless
man,
With steady nerve to do ana head to plan,
And look with undimmed eyes on earth and
sky,
I'D love to grapple trials as they come,
In manly fashion, brave and strong.
Love rum?
Ifonly l could come into some land
Where no drink is, God knows how willing
ly
Id fight those dreadful torments ofthe damn
That clutch the soul of him who would be
free.
But marshal up those grizzly shapes of woe
To fall again as twice before? No, no!
All, ii L might have known how it would be
In those old college days so wild and gay,
When first l drank in youthful reveIry.
How easy then to put the cup away,
A mothers hope and joy L was till then;
Now see me trembling-hai Those eyesagain!
Back. fiery eyes, to hell, where ye belong!
FL drink We d~own-what, blood? drink

Help. Help. They come, Il hideous, devilish

Back, get We back! They'll toss me in the

Long, crooked hands are clawing in my hair.

A Business View ofThe Liquor Traffic

The Christian at Work, in a recent strong
editorial, refers to the fact that all bust
ness men are demanding sober men and
total a%bstainers for their work, not only on
railroads, but in all other departments of
labor. 1t says:
sit is easy to see how the rule as to
strict sobriety may yet be extended to all
departments of the world of labor. When
it comes to be generally understood that
a man given to even occasional in
him, for this reason, in obtaining steady
and renumerative work, the result must
be large and increasing aeeessions to the
ranks of the anti-liquor army. From a
purely business point of view, the liquor
traffic must come to be regarded with
feelings of determined hostility 1t is a
business that livesat the expense of every
other business; in the proportion that it
fiourishes they must decline. The loss
comes cot only because of the money
turned from the channels of honest trade
into the tills of the liquor saloons, but it
comes in a larger and more serious way,
because of the wreckage and ruin caused
by the liquor habit among the bodies and
souls of men; because it develops and pro-
notes idleness, unthrift, shiftlessness, dis
honesty. disease and crime. The good
customer of the saloon is a poor customer
for every one else. The more liquor he
buys, the less he buys of the real ~necessi-
ties of life and the slower he is in paying
his debts. The liquor traffic is, in truth,
the enemy not only of the home, of the
church, of society and OF the sta t, but 1t
is the enemy of every honorable and legi-
innate business. The time is not distant,
we hope, when this truth will be recog-
nized by every man engaged In honorable
and legitimate business and a warfare de-
clared all along the line against the COM
mon enemy"
