Temperance Rally at Rocky Springs.
For REvErLLF.l
The day for our temperance rally at
Rocky Springs, sept. 1ltb, 1891, dawn
ed bright and fair aud breezy. Long
before ten O'Clock even stranger, rid
ing along the Port Gibson road, would
have known that something unusual
was on hand, as one vehicle after an
other passed by One of these we no

ner from whose standard fioated long
streamcrs of tue "red, white aud blue"
colors dear to every PATRIOTS heart
aud holding a new glad meaning for
boys aud girls in the Loyal Temper
ance Legions of America.
Arriving at the historic old village
OF Rocky Springs and standing on
that church-crowned hill, one could see
the people coming from three direc-
tions. Wagons, buggies and carriages
were full of joyous, merry children
and grown up young folks that no
amount of fair weather and white cot
ton fields could have kept at home
this one day. Fathers and mothers
came too, either because they antici-
pated good time or because the chill
dren "would have IL So"
Badges were auttering everywhere,
from the breasts of manly boys and the
white dresses of sweet maidens who
have enlisted IN this peaceful war "for
God and home and native land" Oak
Ridge and Rocky Springs delegations
were first on the grounds; then came
Ilermanvillc and Inglesidc. When oil
were ready they formed in procession
and drew up in double lines at the
church doors. From the platform was
then read the temperance @Sicge of

the last words were uttered, Mrs. Re-
gan struck up march on the organ
and these young temperance soldiers
entered with waving banners to the
inspiring music of SALOONS Must Go"
Every banner bore on one side beau
iiful motto, on the other the name OF
the society, and as the standard bear.
ers aud followers formed inside around
the altar, filliug mp all the space be-
tween the front seats and the pulpit,
they presented a picture of brightness

looked on. We cannot refrain from
quoting one stauza of the song these
fresh voices gave with such enthusi-
asm:
ssFor homes sweet sake they move milne,
With mother love their faces shine;
Their loyal hearts will have IL so,
Saloons, saloons, saloons must 60"
When the song was ended the mem

and the banners were placed TO tho

To the last number Of the Revie,o of Re-

10 eulogistic and almost rhapsodical esti-
mate Of the young German Emperor. Mr..
6TEAD Ia always earnest and interesting,
but 1t Is not easy to foresee the direction
which his sympathies may take. for while
with memorable grimness he sets his face
against Sir CHARLES dixie. he evinces a
courtier,s indulgence for the peccadilloes OF
the Prince OF WALES. The lustre OF crown
may dazzle his eyes too much to suffer
them to gauge fairly the head that wears It,
On such a theory. at all events. we must &C
count for the willingness to accept at his
own inflated valuation an untried ruler

sttribute except conceit and ingratitude.

Keeley and Koch.

The explanation put forward by DR..
KELLEY. the proprietor OF the unknown
remedy which appears to be curing drunk
ards with such astounding success, can
have but one Interpretation. DR.. KELLEY
says that the experience Of KOCH is the
reason for his keeping his remedy from
the general use Of practitioners. KOCH.
he says. was driven into giving his discov-
cry to the world. and the result Is that
it has been SO misused as to be rejected as a
failure. This is not accurate in regard to
the history and status Of the KOCH remedy:
yet, admitting it to be true, DIR. KELLEY
must necessarily be credited with too much
intelligence for one to imagine that he
doesn't sec the hollowness OF his excuse as
clearly as other people must see it. His ex-
cuse Is absurd.
The result Of exposing KocH's discovery
to the medical profession Is not that 1t has
been abused and misunderstood. but that
1t has been subjected to the scientific exam
ination OF physicians all over the world. and
its virtues tested thoroughly. DR.. KocHs
conclusion does not differ materially from
those Of his colleagues. namely. that his
remedy does not fulfil all the high hopes that
preceded its introduction. Yet it Is the be-
ginning OF great advance In medication.
and now. instead Of being dependent upon
the researches OF one Investigator. 1t is
being studied intelligently and devotedly
throughout civilization. The fact Is that
DIR. KELLEY will find the only Ineligible
explanation OF his conduct In tho frank
statement of correspondent who upholds
his course in the Post Express. Some one
under the name Of Fair Play" writes to
that journal:
81 take NO stock whatever in the theory that Dr.
KELLEY should give up his secret for the good hui
mainly and be content with honor instead Of tho
dollar. We don't do business In that way these daya"
There is no denying that the KELLEY cure
has exerted a great influence for good: but
that fact at no point touches the principle
established in the medical profession which
forbids any member Of 1t. like DR.. KELLEY.
from holding discovery In healing secret
for his own profit. instead Of putting 1t ON
the list OF all other known remedies. SO that
1t may be the property OF mankind. The
long and short OF it Is that DR.. KELLEY
won't tell for no other reason than that he
prefers to keep his knowledge to himself
and make money.

An Epistle to Samson.

Mr.. GEORGE B. SLOAN Of Oswego has
written letter to Mr.. j. SLoAT FAssErT In
which he calls that gentleman q young
SAMSON, and In which he offers an explana-
ton OF the result Of the recent election.
There can be but explanation. That persuasion
was used there doubt but that the most Sc
ductive of all persussions in at the last moment
and gathered many absentses s not matter of contro
versy"
Senator SLOAN is one OF the most re-
spected. able. and upright Republican poll
ticians in this State. When. therefore. he
accuses the voters Of his own party Of whole
sale political corruption. the gravity Of the
charge should not be overlooked. In the
letter from which We have quoted he says.
In substance. that the Republicans In JEFF
ferson county. Oswego county. and the
neighboring districts stayed away from the
polls because they were bribed to stay away.
Mr.. FAssErr has already made the same
accusation. We do not believe 1t Is true. It
seems to us to be simply a surmise without
any actual evidence to support 1t: and it in
wolves prevalence Of immortality among
the rural inhabitants Of this State to de-
gree and extent which is simply incredible.
This outrageous charge suggests another
observation in regard to the efficacy Of the
so-called Ballot Reform act. Men like Mr.
SLOAN and Mr.. FAssETT have been telling
us for two or three years that all we needed
to prevent bribery at elections was to adopt
their new form of ballot: and now at the
second election held under their system they
themselves make the most serious charges
Of wholesale bribery that have been made
in years.
Mr.. SLOAN In the missive to which we
have referred calls Mr.. FAssETT not only a
SAMSON. but q guide. philosopher and
friend. q gartered knight and a man who
wore the plumed helmet. We fancy that
none OF these ridiculous titles will avail
Mr.. FAssErT anything II he presents himself
again as a candidate in this State. In that
event 1t will not be necessary for him to
refer to bribery as a cause Of defeat. He
will be deservedly rejected on account Of
the gross insult involved in the false charge
which he has made against members Of his
own party, .'u.rr
