To the Editor of the Press:
A traveller for pleasure on the Ameri-
can continent, it has been my misfor-
tune to ''strike'' this town in ignorance
of the tyrannical and intolerant laws by
which majority of fanatics on the
temperance question restrict the liber-
ties, not only of their fellow citizens,
but of ''the stranger within their gates"
Warned against drinking the deleterious
water of the neighborhood | am compelled
to abstain from quenching my thirst in
any way. This is an object lesson which
will be indelibly impressed upon my
memory, and on my return to my own
country I shall be enabled from personal
experience to impress upon my fellow
countrymen the folly of permitting an
intolerant section to interfere with the
personal rights of their fellow men.

Mr.. Blaine in his letter to Mr.. Manley
points out that the most important issues
of the national campaign are protection
reciprocity and a sound currency, and
should be kept prominent above all 9th

behalf of the Republican position in this
campaign, and it's conciseness and clear
ness will make it a very effective cam

What Some Men Steal.

It is said that some men will stea. anything from a hairpin to a red hot stove. That saying may be an ex aggeration as to the red hot stove, but it is certain that some men will steal articles of very trifing value. To illustrate A certain popular res taurant down town keeps a liberal supply of butter upon it's tables, and it's patrons are allowed to help them selves at pleasure. But there are no individual butter plates.
 A patron of the restaurant sug, gested to the proprietor that it would be a good thing if he would put a number of individual butter plates on each table. so that his patrons could use them if they wanted to dc so.
 ''That would cost me too much money" was the reply of the propri etor.
 Hundreds of men come here every day who would steal the butter plates Some of the people who come in here actually steal the bread plates, and they frequently take away tumblers and other pieces of tableware, an6 napkins they steal by the score Knives, forks and spoons, too, art taken.
