The American Hog,

Have Speaker Reed and Mr.. McKin-
ley duly considered that one of the
first results of their prohibitive tariff
would be further embargo in foreign
ports against the beEign and profitable
American hog? Here are Mr.. Biaine's
own words:
There is not section or n line in the
entire MCKINLEY bill that will open
the market for another bushel OF wheat
or another tarrel of pork
Mr.. Blaine might easily have gone
further if he had chosen to speak his
whole mind and said that there are
many lines and sections in the bill that
will close markets now open to the
American hog. The Mckinley sort of
legislation is openly and without reserve
aimed at foreign markets; no self>fespe-
citing foreign nation can fail to retail
late up to the full measure of its ability
to do SO without positive injury to itself
But the injury TO America to be
achieved by this iniquitous measure rs
two fold. There are two classes of
American hogs, both of which we are
anxious TO part with. The hog quad
ruped we want to sell; the hog biped
we are willing TO give away. Both
are restricted to the home market by
the Mckinley bill. We can neither
sell our hogs nor give our hogs a~ay.
The American hog can not enter on
foreign soil at all.
Suppose Speaker Reed shonld want
to go abroad some day?-ChScago Post

KISSLEY TOWNSHIP.
CBY FFIDAY.1

Frank Friend, of Rodgeman, has
cast his lot among US, with the friend
ly intention Of showing we'uns' how
to farm.
"A certain skillful nimrod has
caused terrible eommotion among
the prairie chickens; they were 80 afraid
he would shoot his little self.
Charlie Foran was the guest of his
sister, Mrs. A. C. Kinds, last Saturday
and Sunday. Charlie got badly stung
by bumble-bee; he says ut is worse
than the Mckinley tariff because it
shows where it hurts the farmer"
We acknowledge, Jake. that we
poor benighted ones haven't any more
sense than the law allows us; but it is
very unbecoming in Jake to boast,
when he doesn't know that there is q
difference between sense, and the word
genius" that we used. Never mind
Jake. Ewhen "Ironclad" presents his
unique Goddess of Liberty, you shall
pose as Minerva.
Early rising is all very well If
taken in small doses, but it is possible
to over do it. A certain tax payer

early the other morning and after
cooking and eating his breakfast look
ed at the clock-it was just three
O'Clock. He went out to the stable,
coaxed one of his mules to kick him,
(which, the animal sensibly and oblig-
ingly done) and returned to bed.
1t makes us women smile real
noisy when we hear the old bachelors
relating their housekeeping trials and
woes as follows: 81 had to cook for
the threshers so many days." (as the
case may be,) land, by gosh! I was
sick of it.'' (We have changed and
softened the interjection some.) The
reason for this adamatine condition of
our hearts is this: If these same
bachelors we're married and their wives
should sigh, and say, ''that the thresh-
ers caused some inconvenience, they
would reply, II don't see what you've
got to grumble about, you ought to be
out there measuring onc't.

Marriage In AMMAN.

Marriage settlements and dowries
are not recognized, on account of the
difficulties that might arise in case the
marriage is dissolved. According to
Annamite custom, the woman should
not bear the charges of marriage, be-
cause she takes the name of her hus-
band and associates herself with him
in order to perpetuate his family, not
for the sake of her own. 1t is just for
the husband, in his own personal in
terests, to furnish all that she and her
children may need; yet, according to
another custom frequently followed,
the suitOr whose character is not well
known should make several visits to
the family of his affianced, so as to
submit himself to kind of testing
often very severe, which shall permit
his value and the amount of his knowl-
edge to be rated. This stage of the
negotiations sometimes last for several
years.
Marriage is usually contracted by
inclinatf0n, without money cOnsidera-
tions entering into the matter. The
family is regarded as moral union,
and not as a business association.
Hence it is common to see a wealthy
family allied with a poor one. 1t is
considered that when a man marries
a girl without fortune, but wisely
brought up, she will be easily touched
by the care he will take of her, and be
obedient to his authority. Then, it is
not right to exact a dowry from u girl
whose education has already imposed
on her parents large sacrifices of time
and money, and #ho has, moreover,
abandoned her family name to take
that of a stranger, so that there is no
dowry. The parents give their
daughter what they please, without
the young man being allowed TO claim
or stipulate for anything. Sometimes
they require him to make considerable
presents, which will be the sole. prop
erty of his wife. 1t must not be sup
posed that the condition of wives is
the same in AMMAN as in China. The
six ceremonies of marriage are, it is
true, nearly the same in both coun-
tries; but while the chinese wife has
to keep to her apartments, the Anna
mite wife is treated as the equal of her
husband. Popular Sc,ence Monthly.

REMARKS.

The grest need of the hour in the
Temperance reform is strength, such
strength as we have by doing right.
and trusting the results to. God, The
man who believes that Prohibition is
right and that God is now and always
has been ready to abolish the saloon
will not falter. -,
Our strength has not been strength
in God, but strength in self, and, there
fore, altogether weakness. -.
The question has been is it not the
most expedieDt course, and not, Is it
rightp Thus Wehave license instead
Of Prohibition. =.
2. No movement has ever called
forth so great opposition as this. The
devil is fully awake to his interests apa
has called forth his reserves, and is
using all his wiles to overcome the pro-
hibition forces. High license, very,
high license, local option, license as a
stepping stone to prohibition, and other
like measures are offered as comprom-,
ises. To stand against these a man
must be strong III the Lord, and put ON
the whole armour of God. The truth
makes man strong, courageops;- deter
mined, able to stand. Prohibition,
truth makes such men az Haddock and
Gambrel.
Luther was able to stand bee a6tse he.
was clothed in this armour, and so if
We put on the whole armour we shalt
be able to stand against the wiles of
the devil. t,~...
8. This contestis between right and
wrong, and it depends upon men of
strong character which shall triumph.
Our Christian civilization can never.
rise to its highest possibilities while tue.
rum traffic clogs its progress. The.
church is shaken by the force of the
conflict and will be overthrown unles5
prohibition triumphs.
4. 1t is the part of Gods followers,
to stand firm for the right, even if the
right seems inexpedient.
Righteousness is the best policy.
Thousands of men who know prohibit
tion is right and believe license is
wrong, vote year after year to perpet-
uate this rum, curse as. an expedient..
The prosperity Of the liquor traffic
means the failure of Christianity ,....,,
1t is the bounden duty of every man,
who believes in prohibition 10. do all in
his power by word, act, or deed for, its
Triumph, and having done all to stand.
Suppose your words do seem. wSsted;
suppose your acts do. seem to-. others
foolish and calf forth their derision;
suppose others do say you have thrown
away your ballot in voting prohibition,
do it all and then stand.
Caleb and Joshua stood and God
stood with them and they were might
