He Let IL Alone.

Some one who writes in the New
York Herald has been receiving a
temperance lecture in q liqur saloon,
IA lecture. too. from the proprietor
himself. 1t is worth passing along
for the benefit of those who have
been or who may be tempted into
such places. The proprietor quietly
remarked: Il know the taste of the
stuff. but | have not touched a glass
Of liquor for five years"
j looked at the speaker in astonish-
ment. lie is proprietor of two large
saloons. and | could swear that | had
seen him drink many times with his
cuStomerS-more than once, ! am
ashamed to say, with myself. If you
asked him to drink he would reach
for a bottle and pour himself put a
generous portion.
| could not understand what he
meant, therefore, by his present state
ment, but he was in a genial mood,
and | felt sure that he would explain
the mystery.
When | was in Ireland-God
bless her. said he, Il used 10 drink
Ry drop along with the rest of the
boys. But when / came to this
country and went to keeping bar |
looked about me a bit; and says TO
myself: Pat, if you're going to sue
coed at this business, or indade at any
other, you must let your own poison
alone And l made a pledge which
| have always kept
"But | have seen you drink lets of
times" said |.
"Oh, You have, have" he answered.
laughing softly, well, have a drop
with me-"
He pulled out bottle which looked
as if it contained any ordinary liquor.
1t was the one he had always drank
from.
| poured out a finger or SO and
drank it. Whew. Molasses aud water!
Nothing else. Regular stage liquor, as
harmless as milk.
l thought the man would die of
laughter, and | laughed with him.
.Don't give me away" he said.
"Ns," said |. But after lett his
saloon it occurred to mc that the
liquor dealer had been preaching a
pretty strong temperance sermon.

Per S. F. DAVIS, Clerk.

Isaac d. Coats, Scrgt. Co. /. OF
Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf. died in this city on
Thursday, March 81, 1892.
Comrade Goats was a member of
Justi Post No. 273. 6. A. II. One for
whom all had most kindly feeling and
pity for his weakness, which was his
only fault-always gentle, kind and
courteous. The deanol which ell
shaved him never caused him to for
get the principles for which he
battled from 1862 TO 1865: they were
as dear to him now as then. Let us
remember all his virtues, forgetting
his one fault aud emulate his patriot
ism.
Rcsolred, That in the death of
Comrade Coats the q. A. r. has lost
q good member, atrue patriot, one
whose memory we cherish with kind
ness: that a page of our record be de-
voted to his memory, that a copy of
these resolutions be furnished his
family, if possible, and published in
the city papers.

would give him credit and he left all
debts unpaid.
There were several regular board
ers in the house and q number of
travelling men stopping there Satur-
daT night and none of them knew
anything about the surprise that was
in store for them Sunday morning.
When they arose Sunday morning
and were told that the proprietor Of
the hotel had left the country and
that no breakfast could be had in the
house there was a grand rush for the
other boarding houses. Most of the
boarders had paid in advance for
their beard and they are out just that
much.
The furniture and fixtures of the
hotel were m%Ortgaged to Louis Bert
ling for six hundred dollars. with
Mr.. +. \ Rage as additional security.
The creditors not secured are nu-
merous and it is believed that the
little rascal went away owing more
than two thousand dollars.
Mr.. Folkes had. We understand,
been preparing to get away with his
creditors for some time, and we r
now Informed that he has been
s~Bcaking goods out of the hotel and
hiding them away for more than two
weeks. The goods were seen leave
the hotel by the servants and they
were taken to some house up in the
north part of the city.
The hotel is ROW closed and it will
not be open unit. the Folkes affair is
settled up.

Opposition Weakening.

Senator Worst in Grand Forks
Herald: We find the calamity sentiment
growing weaker every day, as we'll as
the opposition to Burke. In spite of
misrepresentation and sophistry the
former weakens and Burke grows
stronger. Democrats by the score will
vote the staight republican ticket rather
than cringe as slaves and be disfran-
chised by their bosses. No party, can
gather strength that must of necessity
depend upon trlckery and sham-shaped
methods to hoodwink the unwary.
The republican party has demonstrated
the correctness Of it's principles and in
spite of all the calamity shrieking that
may be done it will roll up not less than
an average majority Of 5000. After this
campaign you will eve hear of free
trade as q campaign issue. It will take
its place in the democratic graveyard
alongside of slavery, state sovereignty
and fiat money.
