The census of 1890 shows that there
were 97O,00O,O0O gallons OF distilled spir-
its, wines and malt liquors consumed in
the United States during that year. The
consumption per head OF population ay-
eraged ljl gallons. The fact that about
two-thirds OF the population consumed
no part Of the liquors referred TO shows
that the average OF that used by those
who drink would have been at least three
times that given in the estimate includ-
ing the entire population, which would
make the average about As gallons, the
contents of an ordinary barrel.

1t is singular, but nevertheless true
that the magnates OF the various polite
al parties, with scarcely an exception
:, assume the role Of prophet upon the APP
proach of every presidential contest
. Men who never mix with the peopl
who do the voting; who move in linn
tied circle and are often uDacquainte'
with their next door neighbor; VIII
have nothing in common with the mass
\, es, who earn their living by their dali
toll. are vociferous in their assumption
OF what the people want and what the
are going to do. They assume that tn
people think as they think and will d
a. they do, regardless of right and wron
:, and the only use they have for the vote
= is to get the benefit of the ballot he
authorized TO cast
:. The New York Press says that "On
= John Smith, a Kentucky negro, VIII
stands convicted OF violating the liquC
law in 1855 instances has been fined on
million dollars. Ii Smith pays his fin
he will have TO 90 very light on waite
:. melons this summer" Now this sam
: smith is a denizen OF Lancaster, and It
:, sides on Battle Row" and it is safe
~ assume that he will get his share of VI

bers will be peaceful and uninterrupte,
. At all events those who sympathize wit
=, him are at liberty TO contribute TOWARD
raising fund to ship him off to Canad
where he can defy the law and recei'
the congratulations OF his friends and a
mirers.
r. The National Tribune favors cor
E. pulsory education and compulsory VIC
ing. 1t claims that every child in Il
at country should be compelled to after
by school long enough to get the element
of education and every voter should
a compelled to visit the polls election d.
,h and deposit his ballot. The trouble
30 this country is not that the voters ST
n away from the polls, but that many
them 20 too often and deposit too maj
at ballots. Especially is this true in reft
on ence to that large and rapidly increasi
N. element that are not only willing b
ST. anxious to dispose Of their suffrage
the highest bidder, The tendency
