Those were the days when the bsrroom
as we'll as whiskey were comparatively
unknown. Moreover, although pretty
nearly every grocer in town or city "sold
Tum," there was little drunkenness.
Whether this was because the people OF
those times exercised greater care In In
dulgiug in exhilarating waters, or
whether the old-time rum was less power
full than the whiskey OF todSy, is a ques-
tion which about every one who consid-
ers IL settles in his own particular way.
One thing Is certain, however, and that
Is that fifty or sixty years ago there was
no attempt at cloaking such traffic as
there was In rum. Leading citizens did
not hesitate to carry their jugs to and
from the place OF supply, usually the
grocers, nor did they make any effort 10
disguise the jug or mislead any one as to
what ii contained. In these degenerate
days when the jug and the jag are so
closely related no citizen can be Induced
TO carry even an innocent syrup jug
through the thoroughfares undisguised,
lest he forfeit the good opinion of his fell
lows who might suspect him of having
contracted the jug and jog habit.

The Gossiper never sees Mr.. Norcross,
superintendent of hacks, without recall
ing an incinent ia the latter's career
which illustrates the character of the man
very distinctly. II was just after the war
when Mr.. Norcross had given up the
hack business and Joined the police force
that he was patroling bent in what is
now the fourth district. A heavy snow
storm had prevailed all day and by the
afternoon the streetswere entirely blocked
and travel rendered impossible. No one
was to be seen in the streets which at B
o'clock in the afternoon were entirely de-
serted. While patroling his beat along

MONEY TOKENS.
U.S.. Officers Make Several Arrests of
Users of These.


SULLIVAN, Ind. April l0.-The first
series OF arrests under United States
statutes relating to metal coins, tokens
and coupons have been made by United
States Marshal Hawkins at Linton. II
they hold good II will affect all manufact-
urers, mine owners and merchants who
are using metal checks or tokens or
coupon books as a matter of convenience
or otherwise. 1t has been the policy Of
mine owners to issue to miners before
pay day metal checks which were made
to represent money values. Merchants
also used the checks, which have been a
money equivalent in all mining districts
for years. Those arrested are Nathan
Dixon of the Summit Coal Company and
Finney Strong, president of the Linton
supply Company. some of the tokens
have been con6scated. The two COM
panies alone have nearly $40, COO in tokens
and coupons in circulation.

Yesterday the Gossiper met Mr.. Place
In one of his favorite haunts and was
somewhat surprised when that gentleman
made the announcement that he was an
ex-rumseller. But i. was true enough, Tor
in support OF his statement M-. Place
displayed a license granted him TO sell
rum, wine and strong liquors in the town
of Foster, which bailiwick enjoyed the
distinction of being Mr.. Places home
until ne established his household goods
within the confines of the city OF Roger
Williams. This certificate of license Is
quite a curiosity in its way. There is no
printing or engraving about 1t, but II is
written in the small, plain. clear and
beautiful chirography of which the people
OF two or three generations ago were mas
ers, but which seems TO be lost art in
the present age OF frills, fourishes and
furbelows. The license Is written on a
single sheet of unruled foolscap paper
and it records that the Town Council of
Foster, ssfor divers good causes and con-
sioerations them hereunto moving do by
these presents license and permit you,
the said Raymond q. Place, to sell rum,
wine and strong liquors Ia your store In
said town In ali quantities less than lO
gallons, to be carried away and not to be
drank or used in your said store or pos
sessions, from the 7th day OF October
next until the first Monday in April next
ensuing the date hereof"
But this license was not granted with
out conditions or restrictions even In the
far away days of 1899, wnen this one was
issued, for IL provides that the licensee
shall maintain good order in his store
"and shall not suffer to be sold in your
said store or possessions rum. wine or
strong liquors In any quantity to or by
any person or persons on Sunday, nor
knowingly to sell the same or permit the
same TO be sold at any time in any guam
tity to any persons in a state of intoxica-
tion or to a habitual drunkard, knowing
him to be such, and shall not knowingly
suffer any person to become intoxicated
IN your said store or possessions, but
that good government, rule and order
shall be kept therein according to law"

No rIore Sectionalism in
Politics.

The attempt to give the political can
vass sectional complexion is greatly
to be dsplored.
Sectional politics has been the sans
of this country, and has cost 1t thous-
ands of millions of dollars and mil
lion human lives, and what has the
country got for it all?
In the present canvass there has been
. constant effort 10 array the people of
the South and West against those Of
the East, There is no good reason for
this, except that, if sectional preju-
dicss can be sufficiently aroused. PEG.
pie will act blindly and without ere
gard to right and justice. In that
way they can be driven into almost
any sort of headlong and desperate &C.
ton against those they are taught to
hate.
But eertaisly there is no good reason
that can bind Southern people to thoss
of the West and array them against
the East. II the Southern people &c
back to war memories they will finG
that they had to fight just as hare
against the Western soldiers as agains
those Of the Eastern States. Ther'
was NO more friendship and sympathy

Southern people in those dark day
found many staunch friends in thu

Bryan.

If majority of the people Of the U.
S. want Mr., Bryan for president they
unquestionably have the right to choose
him without let or hindrance from any
quarter. We believe his election would
be followed by financial depression
that would produce incalculabls injury
to the poor people of the country, and
mar the credit of the government.
But as burnt children are said to dread
the fire, the sooner they are burnt the
better for them. It'll may be that how
ever calamitous his election would
prove that il would be best for 1t to oc'
cur as it would test the validity OF the
heresy of debased currency both up
on the people and the credit and sta
bility of the government, to the salts

have strayed from the teachings of the

now worship strange gods ut strange
