no LACK OF GAME.

AL accounts agree that the rabbits
were never so plenty in recent years as
this fall, while the pheasants, usu-
ally not an abundant bird in this 10.
raity are thick. Even tho Quails,
which were thought to have been all
killed by two severe spells OF weather
late last winter, especially by the deep
sRow OF the latter part OF the winter,
are unpreccdentcdly plenty. 1t will be
remembered thatan enthusiastic sports
man bought all the live quail he could
got last spring, fed them and turned
them loose when the weather became
suitable. lie was a little SURPRISED to
find, az the season advanced, that there
would be twice as many quail this year
as last. The explanation is simple. The
heavy SHOWS came in the form OF biz
Yards from the West, and while the val
leys and the west face OF all the hills
were covered deep with snow, the east
c:n hillsides were bare, and there were
plenty OF seeds and other food for the
birds.

Springfield, ILL.,, suffered with mu-
nicipal drought last Sunday. The new
mayor of the city determined that the
laws for the Sunday closing of the sa-
looms should be strictly enforced, with
out fear or favor, and issued his orders
to that effect. Great was the surprise
and indignation of the habitues to find
that the order Z" meant business" and
that when Sunday morning came
there was not SO much us back door
to be found open. The reputable peo-
pie Of the city are delighted with the
ew order of things and congratulate
the Mayor on his firmness, and the
saloon men profess to be more than
satisfied, and say that they only ask
that there shall be no discrimination

The collections Of internal revenue
during the first ten months Of the fis-
cal year ending June 80, 1891, were
sis, 1886, 22l, an increase Of SIS, 1893, 4S3,
as compared with the collections dur
ing the corresponding period Of the
previous fiscal year. The collections
were as follows: On spirits, S6S, $40, 043,
an increase Of 81, AZ, 1853; on tobacco,
$27, 1860, 1886, an increase of $434, 953 ;
on fermented liquors, $22, 500, $40, an
increase Of 90, 168, O84; on oleomarga-
rine, $3.50, 761, an increase Of $239, 1865
on miscellaneous, $23s, 700, an increase
Of $1Os, 242. The aggregate receipts
for April, 1891, were $2,19O,6 less
than for April, 1890.
Speaking on this subject, Mr.. Ma
son, Commissioner Of Internal Rev.
enue, said: "There is a decrease in
the receipts from special taxes on rec
filters, liquor dealers, brewers and
dealers in malt liquors and dealers in
oleomargarine Of 81, 1881, 694. This is
due to the fact that the last Congress
changed the special tax year so as to
begin July 1, instead Of May 1. Col
lectors therefore on May 1 collected
only two months taxes, instead OF
twelve months taxes.

There are in Lexington and
Fayette County people of high

Dutch god, named Schweinfurth
who runs his heaven out in Hi
nOis.
One of these persons has lately
lost a near friend of the "same
faith and order.
Now | don't want to make fun
of anybody's religion, but 1 want
to know whether the saints of this
new religion go to Illinois when
they die, or do they go up where
Elijah and all those old fellows
Went; because one of them owed

Under the above pathet.. headiny
the rPhfiadelphia Press publishes the
following dispatch from Pittsburgh:
The jury in the case of Mrs. Cathar-
inc Davies against Alexander Me-
Knight, licensed saloon keeper, and
James Quinn his bar-keeper, rendered
a verdict in favor of the plaintiff for
$500.
Mrs. Davies alleged that her hus-
hand had been sold liquor by the de-
PENDANT after being requested by her
to desist. One night, while intoxi-
Gated, her husband on his way from
Meningitis place fell into Il creek,
and contracted cold from which he
died.
Judge Ewing, in his charge, i'm
pressed upon the jury very emphati-
cally, that when q saloon keeper sells
to man who is visibly intoxicated at
the time, or to Il man, who, whether
visibly intoxicated at the time or So
Der, is known to be of incorporate
habits, in either case the party 50 sell
ing is liable for whatever consequence
may ensue.
Meningitis attorneys will probably
carry the case to the Supreme Court.

The Kentucky Leader Oh the
Election Frauds I'm Licking
tom Last August.

In this issue of the Blade, UNI
der the head "A Blooming
Farce, l reproduce the account
OF The Kentucky Leader (Repub
lican) published at Lexington. l
hope the good citizens Of this
country, without any regard to
political utilization, will read that
piece carefully, and then read it
again very slowly and recollect all
the names, and that they will
recOllect that Sullivan and Welch
and Mcnamara are all saloon pro-
prietors. Then | hope these good
people will get chair and get in
a good quiet place out in the
shade and read it again, and then
| hope they will call out their
wives and their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts and read
it again. and then walk over to
the neighbors and take the paper
along and read it, and let the chill
dren memOrize it and say it at
Sunday School.
The Leader has said some pretty
rough things about ME in print
and heap rOugher ones orally,
but it may say them all over again
with any trimmings and embel-
lishments that may have since Oc-
Cured to it, if it will only talk out
like this about the corrurtions in
this city.
Ii it will talk this way, l hope
it may have 100000 subscribers,
and l hope that Prohibitionists
will encourage it, morally and fl
nancially.
l write this knowing nothing
about the court proceedings in
the case, further than they are
given in the report alluded to. |
DO not know the name of u single
juryman, but hope that they are
all of the best.
In any event l shall bow sub
missively to their decision.
l say now, as | did in the case
of the acquittal of the Malta at
New Orleans, that as good citizens
we must cheerfully abide the de-
cisions of the courts, and to any
verdict that they may render l will
say Amen; but if these men are
guilty | do sincerely hope that
they will be punished, for the
crime of which they are charged
strikes at the very foundation OF
our civil institution.

lieving as we do that the liquor traffic
is entirely at variance with our prin-
ciples, our motive being to upbuild,
sustain and protect, while that of the
liquor traffic is to pull down and de-
StrOy. therefore, be it
Resolved, That We, as q part of the
order of the A. o. U. W.. do most sol
EMMY protest against admission of
those into our noble order whose bust
ness il is to degrade humanity.

Ballot Reform i'm Chic.

The new ballot law passed by the
Ohio Legislature will help the Plohi-
bition party. 1t provides that the
names of all candidates nominated by
convention, caucus, meeting or pri-
mary election of electors, or by the
Central or Executive Committee of
any regularly organized political
party, must be printed on the official
ballots. Nominations not made by a
regular party organization may be
made by nomination papers signed by
500 electors for State officers, 100 for
county officers and fifty for municipal
officers. The State pays all the cleo
ton expenses, including the printing
and distribution of the ballots. No
particular per cent. of the voters is re-
qulred to constitute political party

The Blade is only sent to such persons
as it is hoped will be willing to pay for
it, and every one to whom it comes is
regarded as owing for it unless he has
received receipt for it, if he continues
to take it out of the Office.
The names of the persons to whom the
Blade goes are either furnished by some
acquaintance of theirs or the parties are,
from some circumstance known to the
editor, such as are supposed to be will
ing to pay for the paper.
In all cases where friends pay for the
Blade when it is sent to others, the par
ties receiving the paper are notified of
this fact.
All persons to whom the Blade may
come are respectfully asked to receive
only as many numbers of it as will in.
form them of the character of the paper,
and then either pay for it, or notify the
editor that they do not want it, or leave
it in the Office and ask the postmaster to
inform the editor that it is not wanted.
The regular price of the Blade is 81 q
year, but in instances where persons re-
gard themselves as too poor to afford
that, it will be sent for 81 q year if the
person wanting it will notify the editor
that he desires to take advantage of the
rate for poor people.
I do not approve of that newspaper
law that makes man liable for the SUBJ
scription price of a paper if he takes it
out of the postofice, when it has been
sent to him without his order, and l will
not take advantage of it.
Hoping that the public will take pains
to observe this regulation, am

Dear Bro. Moore.
1t is with regret that We, as
members of the Young Mems
Christian Association feel it our
duty to ask you to discontinue
your donation of the Blade to the
Association rooms.
Our reason for doing SD is that
some of the board of Managers
object to the paper. and think it
not suitable to be read by the
Young men who visit our reading
room. AS to why the board OBJ
jscts to the paper we have, so far,
,een unable to learn,
When we asked you TO send the
Blade to the rooms gratuitously
We felt then, as we do now, that
its code of morals was far better
than the Lexington, Louisville or
Cincinnati papers, to which no OBJ
lection has been made, nOtwith-
standing their open and gIaring
publication of all that is i'm
moral.
We quote a few of the head
lines that appear 80 prominently
in their issues. Horse racing,
Base ball games, Prize fighting,
Wholesale and retail Whisky and
Beer advertisements, and gambling
i'm its multitude of forms.
Possibly had you never limited
at the rOttenness in social, polit-
ical and religious life, as it exists
in Lexington, and had you been
willing to close your eyes and
ears to the great evils that con-
front us on every side. we might
not have been forced to make this
.equest ofyOu.
We are rery. cery sorry that
such is the case.
