A Few Examples of Consistency
The saloonkeeper that sells a man
the whisky that makes him drunk and
then says, Its good enough for him, u
when the fellow is arrested for disor.
derl y conduct.
The patron Of saloons who says there
isn't any harm in drinking, but who
objects to having drinking places estab
lished for the accommodation of women,
and who wants sober men only in his
employ.
The man who "believes in temper
ance, " and who for the love of gain will
sell the stuff which makes men intern
perate.
The man who doesn't believe in
saloons" and who would like to see
every saloon in the country closed up, "
and who yet keeps on doing all he can
by his influence and patronage to keep
the saloons in his neighborhood running
Such examples as the above are not
rare, some OF them even being found in
Flagstaff. Oh, consistency, thou rare
jewel which men So greatly prlze, truly
thy abode is not with the vender Of
ardent liquids and his patrons.

a very sad case was developed in one
of our police courts recently when
woman was brought before the judge
on charge of drunkenness. About a
year ago she commenced drinking and
by degrees sold every vestise Of furni
ture and carpet in the house to pay for
the liquor she craved When arrested
she was lying on a bare floor, in an al
most nude state, so that the policeman
had to wrap her in a blanket before
placing her in the patrol wagon. When
brought into court she made pitifui
plea, AS she clung to the railing III
front of the magistrates desk. She
claimed that her taste for drink was
acquired in her days Of prosperity
through holding in her mouth the pape,
covers of preserve jars which she had
soaked in whisky or brandy to prevent
the fruit from molding. Her husband
WIS well known mill-worker and had
refu, ed to give his wife money, as she
spent it all for liquor The family were
once prominent and well to do in the
locality where they hive. .Ifarguments

If the answer is yes, begin then at

such an evil business. Second, do

/ IEH DISCoYgRI By fHB SHAKERS,

For more than = hundred years the
Mount Lebanon Shakers have studieo the
cultivation Of medicinal plants and sought
20 extract from them their healing es-
sences. Their labor has not BEEN spent ~
vain. They have made discovery mat
will prove blessing to mankind. 1t con-
sists of cordial that causes immediate
relief in cases Of indigestion. The I'M
portance of this discovery will be appar-
emit when we realize that nearly nine
tenths Of all our sufferings are causcd
by dyspepsia or Indigestion. Nearly every
person you meet has this digestive trouble
In some Of its varied forms--sick head
ache. distress after Getting. pain and full
ness In the chest after eating, palpitatlon
Of the heart. etc, are but symptoms OF In
digestion. To relieve these sufferings has
been the study OF the Shakers. and they
have succeeded. The reason the Shaker
Digestive Cordial has such an immediate
and salutary effect Is that 1t causes the
food eaten to be digested. for II Is I'M
digested food that causes the distress.
The Cordial causes the food to be digest
ed before there Is time for II to ferment
and sour on the stomach. When tho food
Ii so digested II gives strength and vigor
to the feeble body, makes one feel bright
and cheerful. and makes one gain In flesh.
The Digestive Cordial is so prompt In
It's action that the very first dose Will
have a perceptibly favorable result. 1t
gives immediate relief.
In order to prove this statement small
trial bottles have been placed In the drug
gists' hands, which can be obtained for
10 cents each This trial bottle will have
a decidedly beneficial effect, and Will
satisfy any one that the Cordial Is adapt
ed to his case. After a trial. give praise 10

A Great Disaster Avoided.

Nobody except the President OF the
United States knows the strain which was
put upon him by the events Of last week.
The condition Of things was as bad as bad
could well be. The country seemed to be
drifting towards financial iceberg strong
enough to crush all our financial inter-
ests II we allowed collision to take place.
And yet there were men rejoicing over
the necessity which was thus forced upon
The New York Commercial and Financial
Chronicle touches the subject as follows:
Judging from the listless and In some
cases fippant way in which Congressman
and Senators speak and act with reference
to the Presidents purchase Of gold and
his requests for aid in facilitating the ar
rangement he has made. we must conclude
that they have very little appreciation OF
the fact that he has saved the country
from a great disaster
Would that this statement were abso-
lutely true: but We fear ii Is not. There
Is no telling how soon there will BE- a
disastrous fall from our present condi-
ton The credit of the government has
withstood all the assaults which have been
| made upon it. and has so far not been
seriously affected by the complicated dis
| orders which seem to have taken hold
upon our financial system. II any financial
system we have. Mr.. Hill said. however.
In the Senate last Saturday that another
drain upon our gold would or might soon
take place, and the disaster which we
had hoped to escape might yet be expected
or feared.
The commercial or rather financial world
| must for the present live in expectation
| of being threatened by ills from which no
thing but prudence. caution. and con.
slant watching Of what is In ''the offing''
| can free us. The future will make all
| these things plain to us. Our New York
contemporary says the President has
saved us from q great disaster. Let us
hope for the best.

FIT. Lee Offers a Suggestion.

General Fitz Lee has written letter
70 the editor of the Fredericksburg Free
Lance In reply to an inquiry as to the Gene
rails views on the adaptability to the wants
OF Virginia Of the Maryland ballot sys-
tenn, in which he says substantially that
he does not think the Maryland law VIII
suit us. General Lee also says that the
honesty Of the constable In our law
ia the honesty of the election" ana ne
goes on to speak Of the Walton law as
follows:
I'm this section know the constapies
were selected with great care. and tha'
every legal vote was counted as cast
IL the Republicans SO marked their oai-
lots that under the law they could not
be counted, il was owing TO the 1act
that they were told not to consult the
constables. but to follow certain instruc-
tons, which they forgot. In the contest
between Tucker and Yost, at my precinct
the negroes were told to scratch out
every name but the short one. Yost; ana.
on going TO vote. some OF them asked
the judges for the short ticket, and. md
ing the tickets Of uniform length, got
confused and did not know how to marx
them"
General Lee is Of the opinion that a
solution of the questions now before the
people of Virginia might be found as
follows:
LET each congressional district select,
by a vote OF its county and city Demo
cratic chairman therein. or otherwise,
Democratic representative. to meet SINH
lar representatives and consider the whole
question, and prepare proposed amend
ments to the present or former laws or
fame new law. which Democratic
legislative candidates can stand pledged
TO vote for II elected.
1.-The present diversity OF opinion on the
suffrage question impairs Democratic
prospects. In time Of peace we must
prepare for war; IL we hope to win
victory"
General Lee, though thinking. as many
others do. that our election laws need
amendment. does not join in the denuncia-
ton OF the trainers Of the Walton law.
In his section OF the State, he believes,
every legal vote was counted as
cast" Like testimony from other gen.
tlemen. also Of great prominence. goes to
show that the rule which obtained in
the Tenth District was the rule which

tons.
This suggestion. coming from the source
that 1t does. Is entitled to careful con-
sideration. After We have gathered new
experience Of the Walton law from the
spring elections. perhaps 1t might be we'll
for our State Democratic Committee to
take the subject up.
Let us possess our souls in patience UNI
til the spring elections are over. Then
we may see our way much clearer than
We do now. Meanwhile let every good
Democrat consider that 1t Is his bounden
duty to contribute as much as possible to
the successful working Of the Walton
law at the elections to be held in all Of
the counties and in some Of the cities of
this State on the fourth Thursday in May
next,
In the same issue Of the Lance in which
the letter of General Lee appears. Major
c. NJ Blackford Of Lynchburg, writes
the editor that he prefers the viva voce
system Of voting to the Maryland law or
the Walton law either.

many reasons why Manchester should

and we should never be content until we

affection between the two sections OF our

The Richmond and Manchester confer

Innumerable facts and figures will BE-
called for before the investigation closes,
and though the annual reports OF the
two towns will afford tho basis OF much
OF the information needed. the data thus
obtained will have to be put In particular
