POLITICAL ECONOMY ASp RELIGION.

Political economy aud religion would never
be one and the same thing, but an identity OF
purpose, SO far as a part OF mans benefit
and Improvement were concerned, would
ever make them friends and allies. They arc
tho brain and heart Of the coming civilization.
The one must point the way, the other must

fact that 1t has u duty toward every form OF

economy will remain "the dismal scicnce'

A VOLCANO OF EVIL.


Intemperance, an evil most heinous before
God, most dreadful In its results. has grown
among us to gigantic proportions. In the
countless homes IL shoots its venom-laden
tangs, and annually, aye, daily, II gathers
into its coils whole hecatombs of victims.
Its presence Is felt through the entire land,
and everywhere II reyels with demoniac ma
ture In sin and misery.
Alcohol, ocean-like. floods the land. Mild
dilutions do not satisfy us; fermentation and
distillation are called into service to pro-
vide 1t In more undiminished vigor; and
whether II be wine or whisky, the vile art OF
adulteralion Is often employed to enhance
its maddening power.
With this immense consumption OF alco-
hol, upon what volcano OF evil and misery
society rests! The direct expenditure OF

urable excitement, is the least deplorable re-
suit. Alcohol taken beyond very moderate
doses first weakens. then totally suspends,
reason. Man is incapacltated for all tho
duties OF life, and Is left without protection,
prey to his vilest and most untamed pas
sions. Alcohol directly iuHames these pas
sions; II Is oil poured on their burning IRE.
IL fills the mouth with blnsphemy and arm.
the hand for murder. II ia the deadly foe
Of purity. II withers all generous aspira-
tions of tho heart, and substitutes in their
stead the coldest selnshncss. 1t makes man
| the demon incarnute.
Now picture Co yourselves two hundred
thousand or more drinking shops in the Re-
| public, beching forth over the land their al-
/ cOholic fumes; from your knowledge Of two
or three OF them imagine how many men in
/ the whole country are bereft through them
1 OF their reason. and you will form an idea OF
| the woe and sin that alcohol produces. All
| classes, high and low. offer holocausts upon
/ the altar of intemperance. The brightest
minds and noblost hearts are numbered
| among the victims. Human wrecks, whose
/ fortune II has dissipated, whose intellect IL
\ has stifed. are strewn over the land thick us
/ autumnal leaves in the forest. Homes ara
| devastated; hearts of mothers broken; tho
/ joys OF the wedding morning turned into
! ceaslcss mourning; children scattered as
| waits through n pitiless world.

extent of filthiness, and cruel as the

In order to foster the butter trade,
the Canadian Government has offered
to buy the winter butter made by it's
citizens for shipment to England, pay
ing for it 20 cents a pound. The oppo-
sition papers say this sudden develop
ment of paternalism is intended to
secure the farmers vote.

A pneumatic riding saddle has been
invented. It works upon the same prin-
ciple as the tire of that name. The
riders movement on the cushion of air
does away with the friction on the
horses back, relieves the animal very
materially, and adds to the comfort Of
horseback riding.

THE KURNRLIIs AWFUL MAD.

The legislation of the Radicals was 8
stupendous blunder all through. If
any good was done in any particular,
in any direction, must have been with
out design. The entire performance
from the ringing of the bell and the
rolling up of the curtain to the last
scene of legislative pantomime and
make believe, when the curtain fell,
was composed of harlequin tricks,
political juggling, acrobatic acts, hyp-
motto deviltry, somnambulistic art,
and systematic raids upon the pockets
of the people. No such specimens OF
charlatanry, legerdemain, sawdust
tumBling, personal and political de-
bauchery have ever before been wit,
messed in any legislative arena by any
company of tricksters and clowns.
A company of sober idiots could have
done better for they would have done
nothing. There was just enough OF
stupidity and rascality in that Radical
body to ''play the devil generally, :"
and to make them forever q most foul
stencil in the nostrils of all honest peO
ple.-W Wilmington Messenger.

Several newspapers have published
q rumor to the effect that Hon. John

State. We did not take any stock IN
the rurnor, because we believed that
if Mr.. McLaurin had made up ms
mind TO leave us he would have given

the rumor has been denied and that
we are" in no danger Of losing the
most brilliant representative South
Carolina has had in Congress since
the war. Congressman AcIaurln
has had very flattering inducements
TO move to New York to practice law;
this we know OF our own knowledge,
and his declining to accept IS only

are figuring to destroy McLaurlns
influence, and the efforts OF certain
men to destroy McLaurin will only
prove a boomerang when the time
comes for the people to- act. If Nc
Laurin should retire from polltlcS
some men would be delighted, but
when they see themselves left out in
the cold they will find some one else
to yillifv and abuse. If q majority OF
our next Congress is made up of Nc
Laurins, the evil effects OF bad lesls'
lafion will be a thing of the past
and the country will once more be
on the road to prosperity.
