DELEGATE-AT-LARGE.

The Democratic State Convention
will name four persons as delegates-at-
large to the National Democratic Con
vention which meets in Chicago in
Tune. We know of no man better
fitted for the place than d. &. Dewitt,
ESQ.,, of Bradford county. He is a
staunch Democrat, knows what he be-
lieves, and believes what he knows,
and is never afraid to tell it in public
or private. He made the speech in
the convention last year placing Nc
Spartan in nomination for Auditor
General. In 1888 he was sent to
Connecticut, Massachusetts,, New York
and other states, by the National
Democratic Committee, and made
speeches for five weeks during the
Presidential campaign, and wherever
he spoke there was change in the
vote in favor of the Democrats. He
is forcible speaker, strong in argu-
ment, and full Of humor; man of un-
blemished character and reputation.
Last year he was called upon by the
State Committee and at their request
travelled over the entire State with
the Democratic candidates, Wright
and Tilden, and made speeches in
learly every county. For his services
lie never asked anything more than
is expenses. Let's send him to the
National Convention.

University Extension and the Young Mems
Christian Association.

The reason why the Young Mems
Christian Association should cooperate
in University Extension, may be snm.
med up under two heads. The first
is because it has the facilities for doing
the work Three things are considered
important in the establishment of
local centre for the extension of Uni
versity Teaching, viz: An existing
organization Of some kind to afford
nucleus Of attendance; a suitable hall
or rooms for lectures and classes; and
reference Libraries, or Conveniences
for handling books. The Association
possesses these requisites. In the
second place University Extension,
being clearly a movement Of the
highest public good, and placing
educational privileges heretofore
denied them, within reach OF multitudes
of young men, the Association should
gladly cooperate with it on these
accounts. ltshould do so to that extent
that will not interfere with its other
work, or diminish what it offers to
young men. This l take to be the
only limitations upon it. The
Association aims to give to the world,
as final product Of its work, young
man, intellectual as well as spiritual
and there seemsno reason why its Co
operation with University Exten sion
should not prove union of forces
that will greatly advance its efforts tc
realize this high ideal of an all-arount
man. Mr.. Walter g. Douglas

We have not had much sleighing
this winter yet, but what We had was

the present writing the snow has nearly
all disappeared, but there is plenty of
mud to take its place. The coon

there will be six weeks of cold weather
yet, if old prophecies still hold true.
According to that we may expect to

WASHINGTON LETTER
WASHINGTON, Feb. !, 1892.

WASHINGTON, Feb. /, 1899.
The administration having by means
not altogether satisfactory to those who
place American patriotism above the
political aggran disement of any one
man, secured satisfactory settlement
OF the Chilian imbroglio, it is now the
turn Of the people, represented by the
democrats in the House OF Represen.
tatives, to obtain satisfactory settle
meut with the administration. The
mere suspicion that Mr.. Harrison and
Mr. Blaine have dared to bring the
country unnecessarily to the very verge
of war in their rivalry for the repubh-
can Presidential nomination, is of itself
disgraceful to the party, which they
both represent
Ithas not yet been determined what,
if any action will be taken by the
House. There is strong feeling in
favor of the House committee on For
cign Affairs making an investigation Of
the matter, in order to ascertain wheth-
er there is any real ground for the sus-
picion so generally entertained, that
the sending of the ultimatum to Chill
was an unnecessary bit Of buncombe
to boom Mr.. Benjamin Harrison.
Should the committee decide to call
upon Mr.. Blaine for his testimony,
some interesting developments may be
expected. 1t may be, however, that
shame for the position which the result
of such an investigation might place
the United States in before the nations
of the world, will prevent the investi-
cation being officially made.
Mr.. Blaine and Senor Mont, the
Chilian Minister, "do not speak as
they pass BY" owing to Montt having
made statements seriously rejecting
upon the veracity of Mr. Blaine. II
will not be surprising if Senior Mont,
shall conclude that he doesn't care tc
remain in Washington. Mr.. Egar
may also come home from Chill before
long. Mr.. Harrison has invited Mont
to the diplomatic dinner to be giver

AS far as it may be done by the

policy of the House has been agreed
upon, the democrats of that committee

fore being finally decided. There is
to be caucus next Friday night, but
as that was called especially to discuss
the silver question, it is not probable
that it will take up anything else, al
though something may be said about
the feasibility of the caucus electing a
"steering" committee of fifteen, which
shall have entire charge of everything
and settle Just what shall be done and
what shall be left undone at the pres.
ent session. Much can be said both
for and against this last idea.

The estimated cost of the work is S,,-

from four to six years.

resolution on the floor of the House.
The democrats Of the House will |
probably adopt the new rules early

large dinner for men-which Is always
from the nature of things more heavily
wined than an ordinary mixed dinner
II should not think it in the least de-
gree necessary to order anything like
the same amount or assortment OF
wines that would have been imperative
a few years ago. And in eXtenuation
of the statement that the qualities OF
the wines served are becoming lighter,
the simple fact that at the average
English dinner table port wine has
been almost entirely superseded by
claret may be cited. It is also becom-
ing q very ordinary thing at English
dinners to meet prominent men who
o not drink wines of any kind, and in
our own country this is also becoming
more and more a fact
OF course, a dinner must have fluids:
the best of solids require some liquids
with which to relish them, and din
ner would be but wasted energy and
material without them. But think it
is no longer imperative to serve wines,
or at least we can serve with them
some other beverage which will be of
creasing set of people who find that
winning and dining together is rather too
heavy a combination for their comfort.
What shall this other beverage be?
The question is one easily answered.
Mineral water Is a good choice, and
many people rise from dinner tables
where these waters are served nova
days to call their hosts blessed. Min
eral waters when drunk with heavy
dinner are not productive of headaches
and kindred discomforts upon the fol-
lowing day as is champagne, for i'm
stance, and they furnish a really salts,
factory, and SO far as Snow the only
available substitute for alcoholic bev-
erages. The dinner will taste the bet
ter for their use. The practice of serv-
ing mineral waters is becoming quite
general; as much attention being de-
voted now to the selection of suitable
waters, and to securing sufficient sup
ply of them for dinners, as is often de.
voted to the wine list
Personally, l welcome the change.
Although | have given a great many
dinners, and have been guest at
many more, l never drink wine. have
also all my life made it point of duty
never to offer wine to young people,
and to use such influence as may have
with them to secure their abstinence
from liquors of all kinds. Stimulants
rarely do good, and are often provoca-
tive of much harm. Everyone. know,
does not feel in this matter as do,
and, of course, every man is entitled to
his own opinions But, as said, per-
] sonally am glad of a change which
lessons wine drinking and provides en-
joyable substitutes in the various min
eral waters; the best of all consider

Apropos of Gen. Cutcheon's remark,
on social drinking in Washington, the
general was led to tell the story of an
army experience of his with whisky.
1t was in the trenches before Peters
burg. As colonel of the regiment he
had prohibited the sale of liqnor save
on doctors order, and in that case
prohibition prohibited The division
commander. however, issued orders
that a ration of whisky should be
served to each man in the trenches
and the liquor for the Goth Michigan
was brought in two great iron kettles.
AS the men clustered around with theil
tin cups some one cried out: Boys
if I'm going to be shot to-day, l want
to die sober!' The cry was taken UP
by the regiment The kettles were
seized by willing hands and the whisky
was poured on the ground. Fifty-two
out of one hundred and ten of the
brave Michigan boys of the Goth wers
shot that day. and everyone who died

FACTS AND FINDINGS.

THERE are ten thousand teetotalers
in the railway service of Great Britain,
and twelve thousand among the sailors
in the naval service.
No SOCIAL club ought ever to have q
bar for the sale of Intoxicating liquors,
even to its own members The thing
is curse and evil everywhere, and
ought everywhere to be interdictcd by
law.-Union Signal.
In the Hawaiian islands there are
about fifty native temperance societies,
with a membership of over two thou
sand. Their pledge includes opium and
ava as well as alcohol. Ava is an in.
toxicant manufactured by the natives,
and said to be more disastrous in its
effects upon the human system than
even the imported liquors.
THE supreme court of Maryland, in
a recent decision, holds that the liquor
law of that state applies to the dispens-
ing of drinks in a social club room as
really and fully as it does to an ordi-
nary saloon, and hence that clubs must
conform to the requirements and re-
strictions of the law, or take the con.
sequences in the way of penalty.
IHAvE always heard that the sal
could not be kept il it was not for the
boys, and when boys get to going into
the saloon they neglect their studies
and learn to drink, gamble. chew to.
bacco and use very wicked language.
Then they get to fighting and some
times commit murder. My idea of q
saloon is that it is very wicked place,
filed with terror, and crimes come
from them. Their keepers grow rich
with poor mems money, and the little
children who have drunken fathers
have to go partly clothed and nearly
starved. and this is why hate the sa.
loon. Minnie +. Danforth.
Mr. W. s. GAME, Nj. p, of England
has returned from his tour through
India impressed with the temperance
zeal that is aflame throughout the
southern part of that country. A pow
erful propaganda of total abstinence
principles has been set on foot the
chief apostle being Hindu ascetic
who has exchanged religious contem
plation for the more useful work, anc
promises in his way to be us successful
in effecting conversions to temperance
as Navier was in promoting Chris
| tianity in India. In all directions
guilds and castles are exacting the tota
abstinence pledge from their members
The movement has brought together
adherents of opposing religions and
everything proves the remarkable prog
ress already made.
