ably OH the bill. No action was tnken.
The remainder of the day was devoted
to eulog'es on the late Representative

In the Senate.
The senate roceedipgs were devoid
of Interest, the only thing relieving the
general nonotony being personal
explanation by Senator Allen. A
recent publication charged the Ne
hraska senator with being intoxicated
and ndecornus in his conduct last
Tuesday, which Senator Allen denied.
At the same time, Senator Allen ar
raigned the fabricator of the story as
all assassin of personal character
more dangerous TO the happiness and
welfare OF the community than an
army with banners" Consideration
OF the legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation bill WAS resumed, but
1t WAS not passed, owing to the tend
ency of some senators To iilibuster and
lack Of quorum. At 4:40 p. m. the
senate adjourned.

Drink is the great curse of Australia.
High wages only too often lead to in

that is even worse than malt liquors or

We cannot believe that the great
masses of those who profess to love
God and their fellowman, will always
remain deaf to the piteous and agoniz-
ing cry going up from the multitude of
innocent and helpless ones whO are
daily offered up in sacrifice to the Mo
loch of the liquor traffic. Some day
the light will break upon the darken-
ed eyes, some day the deaf ears will be
unstopped, and the followers of Christ
will see, hear, and understand what a
hideous and indescribable monster
they have been nourishing by their
laws and customs all these awful years.
May the Almighty Father hasten the
coming of that deceive day. Christian

\ Chinaman came to a missionary to
ask baptism. When asked where he
had heard the Gospel, he answered
that he had never heard the gospel
but had seen it. He then told of a
poor man at Ningpo, who had once
been a confirmed opium smoker, and a
man of violent temper. This man had
learned about Christian religion. and
his whole life was altered he gave up
the opium and became loving and ami

A Bold Tramp.

BOlQ Iramps
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 Attention is called to the fact that tramps are infesting the lonely. un- frequented streets of our beautiful city, so that it is absolutely unsafe for a lady to be unattended even in the day time. About o'clock Sunday morning, September 16th, a lady had occasion to pass through a street in our western suburbs, which was so very familiar to her, that she never once thought of fear. The ground was soft and yield ing from the recent rain, and she did not hear the stealthy footsteps behind i1e-, when suddenly, as if he sprang from out the ground, ruffianly tramp seized her.
 The lady was in vigorous health, and was the possessor of strong lungs, and a highly resonant voice, which she used to good purpose. In her terror 1t seemed to gain in intensity. Shriek after shrlek rang out loudly on the still air, which so frightened the vile mis. creant that he immediately relaxed his hold and slunk away into tile bushes as suddenly as he came. With nerves strained to their utmost ten sion, the lady hurried to the nearest car, her heart filled with thankfulnest to Him, who, alone had preserved hel from untold horrors. D.

The Republican campaign in this State has started off well. A very pleasing feature of the situation is the attitude of tho Democratic news papers toward the candidates nominat- cd at Hartford. There is no attack upon any of them, and thero is gener- ous acknowledgment that tns Republi- cars have nominated perfectly clean and honest ticket. It is evident that the Democrats mean to do the same thing and when thsy do 1t will be the pleasing duty of the Republican papers to reoiprocate by generous treatment of them. A campaign without mean ness on either side will be good thing for all concerned.
 Thus far the only criticisms that the Democrats have made of the Republi- can nominee for governor are that twenty-one years ago he was Demo- crat, and that he plays the flute. He ought to be freely forgiven by the Demo- crats for ever having been one of them, and they should initiate his example and leave the party with which he long ago became disgusted, even as they are to-day. And as for the flute play ing, we take pride in saying that MT. Coffin is an expert in making melody with the flute, which is one of the most ancient and approved musical
 instruments. It was held in great favor by the wise and artistic Greeks, and in much older times than theirs was a prominent and pleasing part of the performance. And, as Nebuchad- nezzars herald said to the people in his day, so we say now to the Demo- crats of Connections: At what time ye hear the sound of the ' flute ye fall down and worship"
