Deneyolence as early as possible and be the
aimoner of your own charities in your
own way; it is wise to remember that the
top Of society can take care Of itself; it ID
able to earn or pay for its privileges, but
the bottom Of society Is where filth gathers
and men and women literally decay from
neglect. ignorance and poverty.
There are plenty of cheap colleges;
there are theological schools and red tape
charities enough. but Of charities that are
personally watched and administered by
tie generous glyer there are not enough;
there will always be room and reason for
such beneyolence. Charity 10 be efficient,
70 bless rather than 10 curse, should be
the daily dropping Of good seed at every
practical opportunity in the march OF life.
Men and women have been Landed for
post-mortem iiberality who IN life habit
ualIy lodged all the just burdens of
taxation imposed upon them by equal
laws. No trumpet ought 10 blow
over such benevolence which robs
the public Peter 10 throw coppers
after death to the pauper Paul; and
layishes on ornamental charities that have
fulsome advertisement and applause the
bc0d money wrung from wronged labor
or stolen from the state Charity begins
at home with the upright discharge OF all
the common duties; the moral and legal
obligations of everyday life, and does not
consist in playing Shyiock in life TO pose
as a phiianthropist when death leaves
avarice no more choice of action, and
there is nothing left to do but to
try to buy masses for selfish
soul with the dross the grim
destroyer tramples under his spurning
feet when he breaks the dying miser's
convulsiye clutch on his gold, which is
not counted as treasure in heaven.
If there were more Of this giving with
your own hand and less post-mortem char
ity in this world the decent poor would
have more days of genuine thanksgiving.

In 1882 the prohibition amendment re-
ceived 10000 majority in Iowa. The re-
turns of the November election show a
complete revolution in public sentiment
While only twenty-three counties in 1852
voted against prohibition, thirty-nine
counties this year supported the anti-pro-
hibition candidate. The change of opinion,
however, is made much more manifest by
the fact that nineteen populous counties.
which in 1882 gave majorities for prohibit
ton, gave pluralities for Boies in 1891,
showing an aggregate change of nearly
5000 votes on this issue. Only nine of
the sixty-six counties gave increased ma
jorities for prohibition, and many of these
nine counties are in the northwestern part
of the state where the saloon issue is less
pressing than it is in the more populous
counties along the Mississippi river.

The credit of forcing France to repeal its
prohibitive restrictions on American pork

adoption Of the meat inspection bill and
enforced II in such a way as 10 relieve our
pork from all suspicion that il was unit

ties wished to lift the prohibitive restric-
tions and levy upon American pork tariff
duty OF 70 francs per 100 kilograms-or So
barrel-but the Senate insisted on %
francs as the duty-or So a barrel; and
this was the duty agreed to by the Depu-

France was forbidden by the prohibitive
measures taken in 1881 under the direction

His utterances were plessingy punctuated with
