THE PASTORS VICTORY.

Many years ago, when drinking habits
were more prevalent than now, a Con-
gregational minister in York county,
Me-, preached very strong temperance
sermon that made a sensation in the
parish. Some of the leading members
of the congregation felt insulted. They
got up and left the house during the
sermon, and then sent letter demand
ing an apology or the pastors resigna-
ton. The next Sunday the pastor an
nounced from the pulpit that he would
comply with the gent1emen's request in
the evening. OF course everybody who
could go to church that evening was
there, the disaffeeted ones with smiles
on their faces at the thought of how
they had triumphed over the minister
The worthy man ascended the pulpit,
went through the preliminary exercises,
and then announced his text: "And be-
ing convicted by their own conseiences
they went out one by one" The ser
mon preached from that text was stun
ner, but nothing more was said about an
apology, and the minister did not resign.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL

Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette.
The passage by the House of the
Federal Election bill is the redemption OF
pledge made by the Republican party
at its last National convention. 1t de-
clared 1--WE hold the free and honest
popular ballot and the just and equal
representation of all the people to be the
| foundation of our Republican govern
ment, and demand effective legislation
/ to secure the integrity and purity of
/ elections, which are the fountains of all
public authority. We charge that the
present Cleveland Administration and
the Democratic majority in Congress owe
their existence to the suppression of the
ballot by criminal notification of the
Constitution and laws of the United
States"
No one doubts that had there been a
fair and honest election in 1884 Mr..
Blaine would have filed the term of
Mr.. Cleveland, and there would have
been Republican majority in the
House. The passage of the Lodge bill
is intended, mot merely to help the
Republican party, but to defend the
sovereignty of the Nation. All talk
about the unconstitutionality of the
measure is idle and delusive. If Con
gress has not power to direct the manner
of the election of members of its own
body, then the government is lacking in
an essential element of sovereignty, and
one or more States, by assuming the
right to choose members of Congress as
may best suit their wishes, can manu-
facture partisan majorities through fraud
and violence and thwart the will of the
people in legislation and in other goy-
ernmental functions. But the Supreme
Court has already passed upon the consti-
tutionality of Federal supervision of
National elections, and there is nothing
in the Lodge bill that is not already
within that decision. There is no pur-
pose whatever to interfere with State
election, but to prevent frand and false
counting in elections for members of
Congress and Presidential electors, not
only in the South, but in all sections of
the Union.
The bill just passed by the House is a
solemn act in favor of honest elections
and the redemption of pledge made to
the people before the present Congress
was elected. Democrats presented a
united front in opposition to it, and
why? 1t threatens the supremacy of
that party in the popular branch of
Congress, and will destroy its reliance on
the Solid South in choice of Presidential
electors. If Democrats were not afraid
of the results of honest elections they
would not be arrayed in solid phalanx
against this bill, which simply proposes
to amend law passed almost twenty
years ago, and which has stood the test
of the highest court in the land.

INFERNAL INGENUITY

Could scarcely devise more excruciating
tortures than those of which you see the
evidences in the face of a rheumatic or
neuralgia sufferer. The agOnies are the
consequence of not checking a rheumatic
or neuralgia attack at the outset. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters has been found
by skillful medical practitioners to pos
sess not only remedial. but defensive eff
ficacy, where those diseases exists, or a
tendency to them is exhibited. Surely
this puissant but safe botanic medicine,
bearing, too, such high specific sanction,
is better than the pOisons often employed,
but most unsafe, not only in continuance,
but in insulated doses. The blood is de
purated thoroughly from the rheumatic
virus, and the nerves slightly impurged
upon, saved from ultimate and direful
throes by this benign, saving medicine,
which likewise exhibits marked afficacy
for malaria, kidney complaints, dyspepsia,
constipation and liver complaint. SIT

TALKING SLANG.

Mary s. McCobb, in Harper's Young People.
This sermonette is especially for
you, dear girls. The advice could be
put in three words do it, Posi-
bly, there might come an occasion-say
once in a life-time-when good round
bit of the genuine article slang" would
prove funny. But to hear vulgar words
used by gentle girl is almost invaria-
bly, shocking. remember passing two
girls in the street, and hearing one of
them say, "I'I bet you a quarter" 1t
gave me a shiver. And when group
of schoolgirls fill their conversation
as, alasl they often do-with one slang
phrase after another, the effect on an
outsider is painfully disagreeable.
The habit of talking slang grows
rapidly. 1t is like reporting a bit of
scandal. Have you never noticed if you
say an unkihd word against neighbor,
how quickly chance comes to say an
other? And with just that same appall-
ing ease habit of using careless, coarse
words increases. Weeds grow rapidly.
There is plenty of good, strong English
to give expression to wit, drollery, in
dignation, or sympathy, without recourse
to the phrases which belong to horse
jockeys, gamblers, tipplers, and vaga-
bonds. The street Arab picks up slang
as he does the ends Of old cigars from
the gutter. Surely well-bred girl is
not on the same level in her speech and
manner. Why should she use vulgar
words any more than she would stain
her hands?
There ought to be something akin to
flowers in fresh young girl. She need
not be prudish nor priggish. No one
wishes her to say "prunes and prisms {"
to coax her lips into proper curves. But
refined and dainty in speech as well as
in dress she surely ought to be. Won't
you please think about it for five min
utes, and see if you do not agree with

LAND IN ENGLAND-WAGEs.

Twenty years ago, writes Eli Perkins,
you could hardly hny farm in England
at any price, and never under $500 an
acre. Now, 1 see many farms for sale
at S120 an acre. But no one wants a
5000 land and compete with $40 land in
America, with freights 20 cents per hun
dred pounds from New York City. If
the American farmer could once come
to Europe and realize how much better
he is off than the English or German
farmer, he would lift up his head and
rejoice at the prosperity. He would
complain no more.
Yes, there is great land depression
in England.
"Many business men in Warwick
shire,' said Mr.. Perkins, butcher, here
'tare going into bankruptcy. See the 'to
let and for sale on our houses. No
business is paying. lam running my
own business now at loss, hoping for
good times again"
l get this list of wages from the labor
ers themselves, and not from books or
newspapers. The house maid at Lean
ington told me her wages was $1.25 a
week.
"And do all the girls in bennington
work as cheap as this?" l asked.
'.Yes, and many cheaper" she said.
At Chester went among the employees
of the Great Western Railroad. In an
swering to my question. an English
conductor or trainman, said:
81 get thirty dollars a month, the en-
gineer gets from forty to sixty dollars
month, and the fireman gets twenty eight
dollars a month. We all board our
selves" These wages are doubled in
America.
When | asked a farm laborer at War
wick about his wages he said:
"Ido get fourteen shillings week, and
butche,e S meat Saturday." which meant
that he got three dollars and half
week and boarded himself, but on Sat
urday had fresh meat given him.
Other wages in Warwickshire are as
follows: The house painter gets 1920
a week, the harness maker 81, the black
smith $3.50, the general farm hand S14
per month, and general laborer 8 cents
an hour and board themselves. The
tpyesetter gets IA cents per thousand in
England.

AFTER THE FOURTH OF JULY.

We put him TO bed in his little nightgOwn,
The worst battered yOungster there was in the
town;
Yet he said as he opened his only well eye;
'Rah, 'rah, for the jolly old Fourth of Julyl'
Two thumbs and eight fingers with lint were tied
up,
On his head was bump like an upside down cup
And his smile was distorted, his nose all awry,
From the joys of the glorious Fourth of July.
We were glad; he had started abroad with the sun
And all day he had lived in the powder and fun
While the boom of the cannon rOared up to the sky
To Salute Young Americas Fourth of July
said we were glad all the pieces were there,
As We plaStered and bound them with tenderesi
care,
But out of the wreck came the words with sigh:
" If TO O-mOrrOw was only the Fourth of Julyi"
He will grow all together again, never fear,
And be ready to celebrate freedom next year.
Meanwhile all his friends are most thankful there
lies
A crackerless twelve-month 'twixt Fourth of Julys
We kissed him goodnight on his powder-specked
face,
We laid his bruised hands down softly in their
place;
And he murmured as sleep closed his one open eye
" i wish every day was the Fourth Of Julyi"

LOUISIANA whites have again been
"forced" to what a Democratic sheet
calls "extreme measures" in their deal
ings with certain "misled" Negroes who
have been guilty of the atrocious crime
of owning shotguns and asking for what
the white bullies of their neighborhood
considered "unreasonably high wages. "
These "extreme measures" consisted in
shooting down three Negroes and whip

hood in pawn to the lottery thieves and
her liberation of murderous outrages

Lemonade and buttermilk are as

find for this weather." said physician.
"They both are good things to quench
thirst. They both act as pleasant
tonic to the stomach and they have a
stimulating quality. But they should
not be drank ice cold-that is, bits of
ice should not be in the goblet. Let
them be as cold as the ice chest or re-
frigerator can make them, but not more
than that. When you pour down your
throat pint or so of fluid that is fresh
