Prohibition yote.--we have be

Prohibition V0te.--We have been re-
qucsted bv an old subscriber TO publish SET
of resolutions adopted ut the seventh annual
convention of the NomaL's Christian Temper
ance Union Of Mar, land, which met in West
minister III October last, and also to publish
the prohibition vote in the coup,y. Unfortu-
nately our space is so limited that we can not
publish the resolutions as they are quite
lengthy. The substance of the resolutions are
a denuuciation of the whiskey traffic, oppos-
ing the keeping open of the Worlds Fair,
which is to be held in Chicago, on Sundays,
and urging the enactment of such laws as will
curtail the use of tobacco, etc.
The prohibition vote as a total is sixteen in
the county, but as there was no tabulated
statement made in the Clerks office, we can
not give the vote by districts.

The end Of coldDess sealing,
The warmth Of sunshine In my room,
Brings me that tired feeling.

Prevent my saiary's peeling.
But write must IN this same rut
Which shows that tired feeling.
The Legislature should adjourn.
For what with railroad dealing,
And city acts at every turn,
Has come that tired feeling
The mott was biotted by some one,
Who tried on Office stealing,
But II he's caught when that IS done,
Hen have that tired feeling.
In winter time on streets Office.
Our Office boy went reellnR.
But now the weather warm and nice
Gives him that tired feeling
When the hour Il growing late,
The moon It's light cOncealinR,
The youthful lovers at the gate
Have that tirt d feeling.
Her father hears a dulcet note
And behind the young man stealing
Marks his shoe upon his coat,
Leaves that tired feeling.
When touring tramps for liquor moan.
Freedom from Judge Ball appealing.
Twenty days OF breaking stone,
Brings that tired feeling.

up a steep hill wheel ng,

Comes that tiredt feeling.

Over you stealing,

That expresses the Russian position

THERE is a great deal of unconscious
sarcasm In the resolution OF the Repub-
llcsn League demanding that the best
thought Of the Republican party shall
be employed to protect the people from
monopoly. When enthusiastic young
Hugo proposed to protect Richelieu
from the popRlace the great cardinal
observed that the guard was weak and
too near the citadel to be safe. But
Hugo was honest, though weak the Re-
publican party is dishonest and strong.
The monopoles could not exist without
the favor Of the Republican party
no more than similar monopolies Of the
sixteenth century could have fourished
without the kingly favor of the corrupt
Stuarts. The soap makers then as now,
paid the king 80 much for the campaign
fund, received grant Of the "home mar
ket" In return, and then raised the price
Of soap to the consumers. We reach the
same results now by slightly different
method. The manufacturers get control
of the home market" and the people
pay the robber prices in both cases.
