People in the country who are always
accustomed to an abundance of food and
fuel can form no idea of the want pre-
vailing in the cities. In all the larger
cities there are thousands destitute of
food, fuel and clothing. In many in
stances men, heads of families, have been
out of work for months, and have moth
ing whatever to depend upon except
what they get in the way of charity. The
number of the needy is daily increasing,
and the hardest of the winter is yet to
to come. The American people will have
an opportunity to dispense charity this
winter to those who canot provide for
themselves.

The Amalgamated Association of Iron

munication to the sub associations point
ing out the disasters which will befall
them in case of the passage of the Will
son bill. The circular also asks the
lodges to urge their Representatives to
vote against the Wilson bill. If all the
industries upon which the Wilson bill
will bring disaster would unite against
the bill, they could make their influence
felt in Congress. The average Demo

General Sickles, true soldier, though
Democr at, uttered the following hoh-

sentiment that will hardly be apprecia-
ted by the bloated occupant of the White

speech in which he defended the pension
rolls from the charge that they are honey.

Famous Case.

The John A. Romans case wherein the
man was sent to the Penitentiary from
CadiZ on two indictments for forgery,
one term of three years, and another for
six, bids fair to become famous. Both
terms begin at the same time on the pc
culiar order of the court, but a higher
court has reversed the decision on the
six-year term and released the culprit,
and the three year sentence has been car
ried to the Supreme Court for an order.

THURSDAY, DEC. 81, 1898.
PENCIL POINTERS.

In the last issue of the New York In
dependent Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler, ID. D.,
presents some very plain facts on the
question. Since be has been
a temperance worker for 81 years, his
ords are those of weight. He notes that
the earliest temperance work was direct
ed toward total abstinence. They relied
upon arguments and persuasive appeals
to make total abstainers. They made
war, not against saloons, but against the
use of intoxioants. Societies were formed
and the people educated to the necessity
of total abstinence. They educated pub
lie sentiment, and with public sentiment
against dram drinking, prohibition IN
Maine and other localities, came as
matter of course. Effective prohibition
was based on moral suasion.
The trouble now he lays at the door OF
a diminished moral effort against drink
ing usages. Total abstinence organiza-
tions have diminished, and total abstl-
nence is not preached as it once was, nor
is it so much pTacticed. Moral effort has
been supplanted by talk Of suppresslng
saloons, and the temperance people are
on the defensive to retain what they
have. By political measures they have
tried to destroy saloons without first
teaching people to stop drinking. The
sanguine promise held out by the polltl'
cal Prohibition party has come to moth
ing. After twenty years of well intend
ed efforts that party has not quite reach
eda total OF 10000 votes in total OF
10000 %. As an influential factor IL
politics that party does not enter into
the calculation. Honest effort must bt
wise effort or it comes to naught. Ano
then he says, we shall never conquer al
the ballot box until we have conquered
voters by argument and persuasion. we
can never stop the sale of intoxicant'
until more check is put to drinking
them.

Christmas is season Of good will to
all mankind "a day of good cheer. 1t is
time when everybody lays aside con-
ventional reserve, and the whole world
seeks level of fraternity. 1t is pity
that the Christmas feeling does not last
the whole year round, but to have one
day of Christmas breaks in on the hard
lines of life and makes all feel better
that we had a Christmas, if only for one
day. This year is good time to show
our Christmas spirit when the poor
which at all times are with us-are great
ly increased in numbers and necessity.
One will enjoy his Christmas in the de-
gree in which he endeayors to make his
poor neighbors happy. While it is pleas
ant to give to friends some token of love,
the reward of giving to the needy is far
greater. If, instead of giving to friends
who are not in want, we gave only to
those in want, and as abundantly as to
our friends, this winters destitution
would be relieved for many day. The
gratefulness ofthe recipients and the ap-
provaI of our consciences would more
than repay the sacrifice.

II the Wilson Bill is such good thing
for wool growers, it is remarkable that
wool manufacturers should be so vigorous
and united against it. What is Of injury
to the manufacturers is of equal injury
to the growers, and the National Asso-
citation of Wool Manufacturers has put
out a circular in which it declares that
the changes in the woolen schedule pro
posed by the Wilson tariff bill are SO
radical that they threaten far-reachlng
disaster to the manufacture In all lts
branches and ramifcations. The leaders
of the association urge immediate and
energetic action on the part of all man
ufacturers to avert the thu Ieatened danger.
The lesson to the wool grower is obvious
The thing for him to do is to unite with
the manufacturer in protestation. What
hurts the mills hurts the grower. Close
the mills, and there is no longer any use
for the flock. Let every wool producer,
whether Democrat or Republican, Of
this heretofore great wool producing
county, send Congressman Pearson a
letter demanding that he represent his
constituency by voting against the
Wilson bill. Petitions ought also be
circulated, and sent the Congressman.
Certainly such petitions would be signed
by hundreds of Democrats who have
already suffered as much as they care to
under the threat of free trade.

The New York Court of Appeals has
decided, records the Detroit FREQ Press,
that while a married woman has a right
to contract with other persons than her
husband for personal service, and can
claim as her own the remuneration re-
eeived for such service, any service she
renders her husband, even in the carry
ing On of his business, belongs to him.
The case was one where the wife of a
tailor who assisted him in his work sued
for damages sustained by falling into q
coal hole. The court held that the suit
should be brought BY the husband, as
the time lost was his.

SOME TIM e.

Hsne time, when all life's lessons have been
learned,
And sun and stars forevermore have set,
The things which our weak judgments here
AVE spurned,
TIE things DER which we grieved with
lashes wet,
Will fash before us, out of Ife's lark night.
As STATS hin most in deeper tints of
blue;
And we shall see how all Gods plans are
right;
And how what seemed reproof was love
most true.
And we shall see how, while we frown and
sigh,
Gods plans go on as best for you and me;
How, when we called, He needed not our
cry,
Because His wisdom to the end could see.
And even as wise parents disallow
Too much Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God, perhaps, is keeping from us now
Life's sweetest things because it seemeth
good.
And if, sometimes, commingled with life's
wine,
We find the NORWOOD, and repel and
shrink,
Be sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
Pours out this portion for our lips to
drink.
And if some friend we love is lying low,
Where human kisses cannot reach his face,
Oh, do not blame the loving Father so,
But wear your sorrow with obedient
grace!
And you shall shortly know that heightened
breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends his
friend:
And that, sometimes, the sable pail of death
Conceais the fairest boon his love can
send.
If We could push ajar the gates of life.
And stand within and all Gods workings
see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife.
And for each mystery could find a keyI
But not to-day. Then be content, poor
heart!
Gods plans like lilies pure and white I'm
fold.
We must not tear the close-shut leaves
apart,
Time will reveal the calyxes of gold.
And if, through patient toll. we reach the
land
Where tired feet, with sandals loosed, may
rest,
When we shall clearly see and understand,
think that we will say, s'God knew the
bestr'

4 lawyer, in the Washington Post,
says that the law Of pr~imogeniture is
still in force in the District Of Columbia.
The law of the District is the old Eng

Says he: "The whole is an uncodi6ed,
conglomerated mass of legislation, most
confusing to the courts and counselors
who attempt to administer it. Only the

Hens and Ducks.

Fish stories are good, but they caunot
compare in interest with the hen stories
that were told recently at the Plowman
Farmers meeting IN John Hancock
Building. James Rankin, of South
Easton, the essayist, described a pair of
healthy chickens Matched from a douAa
yelked egg which were joined at the
wings by a tieshy integument. They
had to be separated, because one OF
them developed a tendency to turn
somersalts, which proved a source Of an
noyance and danger to his less acrobat
cally inclined mate. He also told of a
flock of ducks that would never enter the
water unless accompanied by a young
lady attendant, and at q certain hour
every day they would come to the house
and quack for her to come out and go
with them to the waters edge. Boston

Fruit grower. in the West are enthu-
siastic over the possibilities of Oregon as
a fruit-growing region, and especially
for prune culture. One fruit expert
says that Italian prunes grown in the
Willamette Valley are superior to those
s.oNn in Italy. The climate. he says,
is like the great fruit region of Asia
Minor. One grower has planted about
fifteen thousand prune trees in $50 acres
in the Willamette, and 1T is said that
prunes and other fruits are being planted
n thousands OIL other farms. That part
