They bad gotten to- within q
few steps of her home, and they
were discussing, IN a most pleas
ant mood, that made my sister
smile while she was talking. a
question which had engaged the
attention of the congregation for
a part of the time that day.
They were arranging TO build
a new church, and the discussion
was to whether il should be built
on the old site or on now one:
my sister favoring the old one.
In the midst OF sentence, and
with smile on her lips. she sank
down supported by her son and
Judge Kelly and was dead.
The last that any human being
ever saw her face it had that
smile on it.
She was a stndious reader of
the finest literature, and among
other things had read largely OF
both sides of the question of re-
| ligiou, and | never saw in her OF
heard from her, any evidence that
she did not accept Christianity in
its most orthodox Interpretation
and she was a bright model of tn,
practical life of the Christian
code.

feel assured, that the people o
Georgetown without reference t(
sex, race or social condition
would sanction what ! write.

Z Don't Like Dr. smiths "Vvtt-
ness

have just received the first
copy of "The Witness"-pub-
lished by DIR. $. +. Smith of
Frankfort, ky--and don't like
il bad.
Hcis a Prohibitionist and his pa
per claims to bc"Dcvotcdt to Woman
Suffrage and to the promotion
of purity in politics. His princi-
pies upon those two points are
right, but he has an awful way of
getting at them.
Bad grammar is bad enough,
but bad spirit is too bad. He
and ! are all hunky, but | must, for
the sake of the Prohibition cause,
tell him that his statements about
the New York Voice are absurd
and calculated to iniure the Pro-
hibition cause if their absudity
were not so palpable.
As Chairman of the Seventh Dis
trict | wrote to the Doctor some
time since, and in his reply to me
he lampooned the New York
Voice, saying it had "done more
for the whisky traffic than a
thousand little whisky papers
could have done
| published DR.. Smiths letter
and now The Voice comes
back at the Doctor, with an ele-
phantine kind Of II kick. When
! a fellow kicks | like to see him
do it with the energetic pointed
ness and despatch of a mule.
In reply the doctor says.
The bove statement was not written
for publication, nor to The Voice, bu,
as "The Voice has obtained it in some
way, and has given it to the world, We
renew the affirmation.
Though the Voice is published as &
temperance paper its influence is on
the side of whisky, and is doing the
Prohibition cause much injury.
By publishing saloon maps and bust
ness letter of whisky men, it defeated
Prohibition in Pennsylvania, Texas and
| Nebraska.
ii the Prohibitionists hal have spen
the IN oney spent on The Voice, on
county papers, the Prohibition party
would to-day be a live and growing
party. But; alas, .hey haze put the;,
money into one Voice and that voice
has sung the wrong tune.
Though the Prohibition party has
made a great mistake, and the party is
stranded, there will be a new Reform
party organized at Cincinnati, May 49,
and all true Reiormers will press int q
it.
We can not afford to let talk of
that kind go unrebuked.
The editors of The Voice are
men of heart and brains and en-
ergy and money, and they are
putting them all into their paper,
and | do not believe that there j.
to-day,in the whole world, paper
that's doing as much as The
Voice to promote good works
and human happiness.
The Cincinnati meeting to
which the Doctor refers is some
Farmers Alliance doings.
! am a farmer myself, and make
my living out of the ground, but
| do not want to ally with any
Alliance that fathered that puerile
Sub Treasury scheme, and busted
the Argentine Republic.

Mr.. Charles {. Moore.
You have been sending me the
Blade for some weeks.
If you will state the amount
due you for same, | will pay it.
| think it is good paper ofthe
sort, but ] do not desire it.
Please discontinue.
Respectfully,

as ye Would that Other,
SHOULD do Unto Yeu."

You never heard me, oral Y or
in writing, ask anybody TO take
the Blade, and | do not claim for
my paper, like editors generally
do for their papers, that it is an
institution that the public is un-
der moral obligations to support,
and something that no well rcgu.
lated family can afford to do
without.
On the other hand | see things
in nearly every issue of it that |
do not approve of. They look so
much worse in print than they do
in pencil mark when | write them
that / am unable to gauge them
right.
Fact is | am incapable of max
ing the conventional, and perhaps
proper, discrimination between
things that are equally true.
There is only one favor that |
ask of the public, and that is that
when my paper comes to you, you
will either take it and pay me for
it, or drop me a postal telling me
that you intend to pay me for it
at some reasonably early date, or
that you do not intend to take 1t,
or you can just decline to take it
out of the Office; in which case it
is the duty of the postmaster so
to inform me,
But to let your paper run on
for months without saying any
thing about it, gives me trouble
and Inconvenience, even though
you may intend to pay for it..
But to let it run on for months
and then write me "a note abusing
me about my religion, or irrclig-
ion as you may prefer to call it,,
and not pay me either, is a little
rough on me.
1t took me two days to write
the wrappers and address the pa
pers of my last issue, and | want
to save that labor by using a mail
ing machine and printing your
names on the papers. But L do
not want to incur the expense OF
putting your addresses in type IN
less l have reason to believe that
you are going to pay me.
All the time either at my own
suggestion or that Of others, new
names are going on my list. Last
week about 10 names were adj
ded. One Of them was the Rev.
DIR. Fraser, Presbyterian minis.
ter Of this city. He declined to
take it by writing on the margin
a half dozen words that were so
reasonable and kind aud sensible
and gentlcmanly that my very
high regard for the gentleman is
not in the least diminished.
It's none Of my business, nor
anybody else ;, to ask why he does
not want the paper. 1t may have
been because he dis.iked the tone
of it, or because he did not have
the money to spare to pay for it,
or he didn't have time to read it,
or just didn't want it, on general
principles: Any Of those reasons
or any other reasons, or no rea-
son at all, are equally satisfactory
q to me.
Ifyou think you can't stop my
| paper without saying something
hard about me, why just fire into
me with both barrel, and say it.;
but at any rate please stop it if
you are not willing to pay me for
it, or to tell me that you are going
to do it.
You can see the style of it in
almost any number, and if you
don't like it you need not let it
come to you with the expectation
that it's going to get any better,
for its just as apt to get worse a.
TO oct better.
