A TEMPERANCE SERMON.

A TEMPERANCE SERMON. We were favored, last Sunday morn ing, by temperance sermon from Rev
 Mfr Evans. He thinks the temperance
 sentiment is far too lax and may
 possibly some time return in bitter fruit
 on the heads of the people, should they
 allow any one illegally in this vicinity to sell that which intoxicates. While as he thinks no license vote is good for any town, but one or two licensed places
 in any town is better than 10 or 12 il- | legal ones, and the cause of the contin-
 uance of any such unlawful place is due to the inaction and lethargy of the bet
 ter porton of any community, who should not only conform personally to | the law, but in a certain sense should see that his neighbors do so too. MT Evans
 thought that in the day of judgement, l the question might be asked to some
 "Where is thy brother?' No service be- yond the meeting of the Christian En- deavor was held at the church in the
 evening on account of union service
 being held at the New Preston Hill church, the same evening, conducted by Rev MT Evans. Mrs T. c. Black is still obliged to re-

cent of the entire votes east at the
previous election. The latter course
is the only one open to Judge Web
ber's friends and they purpose following
it. The nomination by non-partisan
convention would be of no validity and
could not secure the placing of
the name of its choice on the ticket. l
do not believe for one moment that Mr..
Somerville will allow his name to be
used this year, but if he is willing and
desires to stand as candidate for the
office. he can easily secure the same kind
of a nomination that we desire for Judge
Webber.
In conclusion let say me that what,
ever action may he taken by others the
friends of our present Judge will cause
his name to be placed on the ballots al
the next election and will cheerfully sub.
nit to the result. This course does not
prevent others from running if they SC
desire, and it gives every voter IN the
district chance to vote for his choice
without regard to politics.

That is what a lawyer wrote in his
wife's album. He kept her in the best
of health and humor by providing her
with DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
for those seasons of sickness, debility
and backache, which are the peculiar lot
of the female sex.
A minister at Okmulgee, Creek Ma
ton, Ind. T., says: II am pleased to
stand as a witness for your 'Favorite
Prescription My wife was an invalid
for about II months. Every remedy
was used for her health and money spent
in vain, but no relief could be obtained.
Your 'Favorite Prescription was recon-
mended to me and obtained one bottle.
Her health soon began to improve, and
she was actually cured by it. It is a
wonderful medicine. Every invalid la
dy ought to obtain it.'' ..s

export sugar of countries which paid an
export premium. This was the bill which
passed the house. Anticipating, in fact
knowing, that such action would be un-
popular in every possible way, they en-.
deavored to relieve themselves from the
burden of the vote which they had just
given, and therefore availed themselves
Of the extraordinary powers which re-
sided in the house, and by course Of
action entirely unprecedented. they pro-
vided that bill might be introduced in
the house giving free sugar, which bill
could not be amended, should not be de.
bated over half an hour, and might then
be passed,and accordingly this was done.
OF course this was pure farce. Every
body knew it, no matter how they voted
upon the subject. The senate voted to
put on the bill an amendment authoriz-
ing the continuance of the bounty which
was promised to the people of the coun-
try for period of ten years. This the
Democrats refused to adopt, so their pop
gun bill, and all the rest of their pop-gun
bills slept the sleep that knows no rest.
The only valid act which the house per-
formed with regard to the trusts was to
furnish them with almost infinite wealth.
SC Mr.. Wilson himself said.
~ desire to point out to you the fact
| that at a time when the revenues OF the
country are decreasing, when it has al
ready beeh necessary to put out S5O,OOO-
600 of interest bearing bonds,the expen-
ditures of the first session of the Fifty
third congress, with both houses under
democratic rule, have exceeded the ex-
penditures of the first session of the
fifty-frst congress by $27, 100000. The
chairman of the committee on appropria-
tions has endeavored to make figures
which would indicate that the first ses-
SIGN of the Fitty-third congress, which
was Democratic, was $29,OOO,OOO more
than the first session of the Fifty-second
congress, the house of which was Demo-
cratic alone. The comparison of figures
will show that the pensions for that ses-
sion Of the Fifty-second congress were
$180.000,00o, while those of the Fifty
third congress were $151 900, 900 of dol
lars which makes exactly this difference
$780, ,O0O,OoO. In other words they
have deprived the pension fund of $780,
100000, the exact amount of their claim
of economy"

Kinley tariff law which has been in op-
Grafton since Oct. 80, 1890, practically
four years, died on the statute books and
the new Democratic tariff bill, passed by
the Fifty third congress, became a law
without the signature of PRESIDENT Cleve-
land. The constitutional period of ten
days allowed the president to consider
the bill expired with the midnight hour,
and according to the terms of the consti-
tuition, the president having failed to re-
turn the bill to congress with or without
his approval, it became law. The plac-
ing of the bill upon the statute books
ended one of the longest and most re-
markable struggles in the parliamentary
history of the government. It was prac-
tically year ago that the compilation
of the new tariff was commenced. The

Comment on ths Senatorship.

Slippery Sam Peterson's tactics to win
the nomination for senator, are to bring
out as many candidates for the Office in

them to fighting, so as he can slip in be-
tween the contestants and secure the
prize. He ought not to be nominated

The ninth district Republican senator
ial convention is called to meet at Slee-
py Eye Sept. 2O:h, to nominate a candi-
for senator. The district is composed of
Brown and Redwood counties. Red

ty 20. Now. Redwood county Republi-
