recovering their dominion, it rs the
duty of the Government to make 1T
safe for every citizen TO enjoy his con-
stitutional privileges and perform his
constitutional duties, anywhere, at
any time, in any proper way, and
Congress will be recreant to its duty
until it exhausts every constitutions
al agency to guarantee that safety.
Every uplifted arm to put the citi-
zen in fear, to prevent his free use oil
the ballot, to express his will should
be stayed by the majesty oil the ma
ton or paralyzed by tspower. The
humblest and feeblest citizen under
the flag, whatever his color or condi-
ton, who seeks an opportunity TO
register his sovereign will, must find
as easy access to the ballOt-bOx as
the strongest and the greatest.
Along that way the nation must
stand guard; over that box must
stand a cherubim with flaming
sword, that no terror shall overawe
the citizen, no violence wrest from
him his right to record his Will, nor
fraud falslfy that record.
On proposition to rescue the
power of the Government from con-

| from spOliation and outrage there

politics. Such field ought to be ex-
clusively occupied by patriotism. An
object so desirable and necessary
should not cause dissenslon, but pro-
mote agreement; should not excite

should not be sword of division,
but bond of union.
In the great struggle to rescue the
tomb of the Savior from the desecra-
ton of the Turk the great captains
of the crusading armies, realizing
that they were joint supporters OF q
more glorious banner than ever blaz
ed before an earthly prince, resolved
that the only strife between the lions
of England and the lilies of France
should be which should be carried
farthest into the ranks OF the inf
dels.
Can we not emulate this noblespiI
it? And as we unite in generating
the ballot, which voices the intelli
gent choice and honest conviction o
the voter, as the most sacred oblec
that ever touches freeman's hand
as we unite in believing with Sum
ner that it is better than the sol

er wiser than the false prophets
more merciful than the despot
at once the good Samaritan t

sick, and the schoolmaster to the ig
norant, can we not also unite in tn
defense of its purity and freedom
and resolve that the only strife be

The Piedmont Industrial and Land

existence since April, 1880. and it's
achievements have far exceeded the

each stakeholder will on the first

managers of theaters do not introduce
their friends to people on the other side
of the footlights except under extraordi-
nary circumstances. In fact, the near
est approach to anything of that sort
with which l am acquainted is where
the manager introduces to the company
an author whose play he has accepted
for production, or whose production he
contemplates. She added: "Ioften have
to laugh at the idea which people unac-
quainted with the theater have concern
ing the lives of the people connected
with the stage. They are entirely igno-
rant of such matters, and their ideas are
absurd in the extreme. To them it is
all frolic and fun and pastime. The
exact reverse is, of course, the condition
of things. To an artist of position the
life is as hard as it can be. 1t is all
work, and when that work is finished I,
for one, think of nothing but rest. -

FASIIONAB TIPPLING.
Other Ways of Getting Tipsy Besides
Draining the Decanter.


Draining the Decanter.
The world knows the besotted creature
at glance, but the secret of the idle,
aimlesI society leader is shared only by
the physician and druggist. She does
not go to the decanter for the nerve
bracng tonic. 1t is not the wine mer-
chant who profits by the tippling of
fashion, but the uptown chemists, who
fill the vinaiTrcttes of silver and crystal
with the medicated lotions and stimu-
lating salts; who supply the fragrant
Egyptian cigarettes and the aromatic
Turkish tobacco, and who concentrate
into inffnitesimal form the insidious
cocaine, morphia, and choral, and the
pungent sal volatile, that sets the blood
pumping through the veins, fires the
fancies, and Lrightens the wits of the
habitual patron.
The dilettante inebriate has her eau de
vim, as well as her cologne and Florentine
waters; she has her red lavender, medi-
Gated camphor ice: she has spirits of car
damons, opium pills, and, when every
thing else is exhausted, spirits of lauda-
mum to produce the exquisite brain reel
ing that steals away the senses and wells
the world with the hazy mist of intoxi-
cation.
These devices, it must be remembered,
are not common, for the reason that it
costs money to get drunk on extracts of
chypre, white lilac OF jasmine, that costs
$1.25 bottle, or So per pint.
Another resource to which the fashion
able tippler is driven is the alcoholic
vapor bath. Still another unhealthy
form of fashionable dissipation is to be
found in the bonbon tray. There are
brandy cherries, five of which will suffice
to make the average woman giddy, and
quarter of a pound completely destroy
her senses. The drop" candy used to
contain wine, and resembled cherry in
size. Now the most powerful liqueurs
are used, and the sugar plums favored
with absinthe, maraschino, or kirsch that
an ordinary bonbonniere will hold are as
"solacing" as anything in the line of
"tonics" or "sedatives.

Drinking Too Much Ice Water.

"What pity Mr.. Blank drinks so,

physician in the hearing of friend of
the former.
"Why, doctor, you astonish me, " said
the listener. Il have known Mr.. Blank
for twenty years and | never saw him
take drop of intoxicating liquor in my
life"
Il don't suppose anyone else ever did,
for 1 never knew him to either, replied
the doctor.
"Then you were joking?"
81 was never more in earnest. Unless
he changes his habit he will drink him
self to death in six months.
"Now, doctor, drop your paradox.
What do you mean?"
II mean that he is killing himself with
ice water. He drinks six or eight glasses
of it every day in spite of my protests
and it is killing him. The lining of his
stomach has become SO much affected
that he cannot properly digest hi food.

A Hint to Stage Struck Girls.

A Washington street merchant says:
had postal card this morning from
Chicago girl who had her head turned
by the stage. No argument of her
mother or friends could dissuade her
from trying to become an actress. She
ran away from home. She met with
disappointment right at the start, Her
postal card to me contains volume. 1t
is brief:
81 am sick, without friends, and have
not tasted food for three days, because I
can't get it. )"
dare not tell her mother this news,
for the dear old soul is already over
loaded with grief. I have sent money
to bring her home. Maybe this little
story, if printed, will be the means of
causing stage struck girls to do some
thinking before it is too late.
