Soldiers Homes.

The report of Gen. W. P. Franklin,
president of the board of managers of
National Soldiers Homes, has been laid
by the Speaker before the House. 1t
shows that 25 State homes are gradually
becoming source of pride to their
States, and that they are economically
and humanely conducted. There has
been a gradual decrease in the cost of
maintaining State homes and all branches
of the national homes. The increase in
the number of admissions to the homes
continues, and it is only minimized by
prudent management.
The average number of members of
State homes this year are 7, 755. The
average number kept one year in national
and State homes were 25, POO and the
whole number cared for during the pres
ent year in the national and State homes
were 40, 1876.
The report shows that if it be the in
tention of Congress to furnish home to
all disabled volunteer soldiers and sailors
not otherwise provided for, some addi-
tional provisions will have to be made.

There are many people who would be glad to
abandon the habit Of drinking coffee if they could
only find some substitute for it. That substitute
is Grain-O, made from pure grains and, in the
opinion of those who have given 1t thorough
trial, beverage in every way preferable to coffee
Grain-O is not astimulant,-iti is something better
1t is cheering, nutritious and strengthening. In
other words it is foe d-drink, as coffee is not 1t
is acceptable to the most delicate stomach, and
agrees even with confirmed dyspeptics. Unlike
coffee Grain-O produces no nervous action. 1t
never interferes with sleep. AS for the flavor of
Grain-O, people who use it say that after using it
week or two they like its taste better than that
of coffee. Grain-O is sold by all grocers at SC

FISH AND GAME. The legislature this

tons from Hon. L. T. Carleton of the fish

better enforcement of the game laws.
Mr.. Carleton has devoted good deal of
time this summer to investigating the
working of the laws, and he says there is
more game killed illegally than there is in
the open season, and that some means
must be provided for looking after summer
poachers better than the present ones. He
also thinks the penalty for shooting a

and by vote of 27S to 1872, decided
not to make any nomination for this
office.

FACTS THAT DEFY REPUTATION

We last week published Mckinley's Is
letter of acceptance in so far as it re-
ferred to the silver issue. The follow
ing is the remainder of that able doc
ument:
1T is a cause for painful regret and
solicitude that an effort is sbeing
made by those high i'm the councils
of the allied parties to divide the
people of this country into classes
and create distinction among us
which. i'm fact, do not exist, and are
repugnant to our form Of govern
ment. These appeals to passion
and prejudice are beneath the spirit
and intelligence of a free people, and
should be met with stern rebuke by
those they sought to influence, and
believe they will he.
Every attempt to array class
against class, the classes against
the Masses section against section.
labor against capital, the poor
against the righ.' or interest against
interest in the United States, is in the
highest degree reprehensible. 1t is
opposed to the national instinct and
interest and should be resisted by
every citizen. We are not a Nation
of classes, but sturdy, free, independ-
ent Rnd honorable people. despising
the demagogue. and never capitulat-
ing to dishonor.

gers popular government and is a
menace to our liberties. 1t is not a
new campaign device orparty appeal.
1t is as old as government among
men, but was never more untimely
and unfortunate than now. Wash
ington warned us against it and
| Webster said i'm the senate, i'm words
which feel are singularly appropri
ate at this time:
| 81 admonish the people against
the object of outcries like these.
admonish every Industrious laborel
of this country to be on his guard
against such delusion. l tell him thu

against his interest and To prevail
