The Missouri Crusaders In their recent
raids upon the saloons were undoubtedly ac-
tuated by worthy motives. But there is al
ways danger in attempting to compass even
the best of ends in unlawful ways. The rum
shop is curse. But the assumption of func-
tions that belong to the courts and the con-
Situated authorities Of the law by individ-
uals Is certain to prove a curse also. 1t
teaches lessons Of lawlessness which the ig-
norant and vicious in the community are
quick to learn and put In practice. The Or
ganization known as the Bald Knobbers of
Missouri, several members of which recently
expiated their crimes on the gallows, was
originally an association for the suppression
of vice. 1t was composed at first of people
who thought the operations Of the law were
too slow OF too uncertain, and their puf-
pose was to make up these deficiencies. But
1t sowed the seeds Of lawlessness, and even
tually the Bald Knobbers degenerated into a
band Of assassins. So with the various
bands known as Regulators and White Caps.
Originally their motives were to purge soci-
ETY. of the vicious and corrupt. Yet. In al
most every case they became greater curses
than were the evils which they undertook to
cure.

At the mayoralty caucus of the Democrats
on Friday Mr.. E. S. Osgood was appointed
committee Of one to find Mr.. Deering. notify
him of his nomination and report through
the Argus whether he,accepted or declined.
Mr.. osgood performed the duty thus as
signed and reported through the Argus
Saturday morning as follows:
Late last night Mr.. Osgood foun Mr. Deering
at his room In the Falmouth (where he had jus
returned from trip 10 Sacol and Informed him Of
his nomination and asked him II he would accept
tt. Mr. Deering expressed In feeling Language
his surprise and pleasure at the honor done him
and said he would take the matter under c0nsid
GRAFTON, and announce his decision a little later
While MIR. Deering did not say so, yet IL Is the
belief of the committee of one appointed to inter
view him, that II the leading Democrats OF the
city come up squarely and manfully 10 his sup
port, he win accept the nomination.
Apparently Mr.. Deering is not satisfied
with the support Of two-thirds of the dele
gates to the convention, but wants special
assurances from leading Democrats of their
most distinguished consideration. He does
not intend to burn the bridges behind him
until he is satisfied that the Democratic mag
mates will give him sincere and cordial sup
port. And therein he shows level head.

The Dominion Parliament has managed to
dispose of the troublesome Fre>ch language
by leaving the settlement of the matter to
the legislature Of the Northwest territory
AS that body has already passed an act abol-
ishing French as one of the official languages
the practical effect of the vote of Parliament
is to ratify this action. The Quebec legisla-
ture which is largely composed of French has
an opportunity to get square by abolishing
the English language from official use in
that province

The Bangor Commercials invitation to its

how 1t works. 1t would probably work

Here is specimen of the society gossip
which is sent from this city for foreign con-
sumption.
The national game poker, seems to exert as
great fascinatl0n over our young women as it
did over their husbands and brothers, and quiet
little poker parties OF five or six all the rage.
know OF one man, however who is sorry that he
ever insisted on initiating his wife into the myste-
Ies OF the game just to prove Its innoceAce to her
IL cost him seven dollars to settle her "debts of
honor" at one Of those quiet little parties the
other evening. Five cent limit too. But there
are women who can play poker and are actually
proud Of the accomplishments. One young lady
privately boasts that her poker money keeps her
In gloves.
Next week we suppose there will be an &C.
count of nice little parties of young ladies
who shake dice for the drinks, with young
lady who boasts that she can throw double
six every time. The limit of invention Of
these yarns is probably coincldent with the
limit Of gulibility Of the people for whom
they are invited.

Hilps grip upon the Democratic members
Of the New York legislature is evidently
much stronger than Cleveland's. The lat
ter, 1t is we'll known. has several times
strongly endorsed the Saxton ballot reform
bill now before that body-approving not
only its principle but commencing its pro-
visions, official ballot and all. Hill, on the
contrary, though processing great regard for
ballot reform, has opposed the Saxton bill,
because of its provision for an official ballot.
Last week the bill came to vote in the Sem
ate and every Democrat but two followed
ain and voted against it.

A sea-serpent, 1O3 feet long, was, seen to coil
itself up in slippery folds on the coast of
Florida last month. Three reliable persons
saw this creature distinctly.
Reader, the above is yarn" If people
would believe the following truthful state
ment as readily as they swallow sea-serpent
stories, it would be the means of saving thou
sands of lives: DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery, if taken in time and given fair
trial, will actually cure consumption of the
lungs, which is really. scrofulous disease; If
this wonderful medicine does not do all we
recommend, when taken as directed, we will
cheerfully and promptly return all money
paid for it. Can any offer be more generous
or faira No other medicine possesses sufficient
power over that fatal malady-Consumptio
to warrant its manufacturers in selling it un-
der such trying conditions. The Golden Med
1cal Discovery" is not only the most wonderful
alternative, or blood-cleanser, known. to med
ical science, but also possesses superior nutri-
tive and tonic, or strengthening properties,
which assist the food to digest and become
assimilated. thus building up both strength
and flesh. For all cases of Bronchial, Throat
and Lung Diseases, accompanied with linger-
ing coughs, it is absolutely unequaled as a
remedy. For Weak Lungs, Splitting of Blood,
and kindred affections, it surpasses all other
medicines.
