THROUGHOUT forty-two OF the forty
FIVE States of the present American
union the 'inestimable boon" OF suf-
frage was exercised to-day. The
questions submitted were the ap-
prevail of an unnecessary, but most
expensive war, negro office holders in
the South, the endorsement of Mr..
Hanna's method of buying the votes OF
whole States with money, prohibitory
tariff, the support of such men as Sen
ator Quay in Pennsylvania, and of the
men who perpetrated the notorious
canal steals 10 New York. II the ma
iority of the voters were wise, if free
schools and cheap newspapers impart-
ed understanding, there would be no
doubt OF the result, but, unfortunately
for the country, such is not the case.

Student Certainly, bookkeeping can be

lend them.
Reader-No, it is not an uncommon thing
for the good to go to the bad; otherwise
there would be no demand for missionaries.
Inquirer-Yes, there are bookcases made
from lawsuits relating to copyrights, but we
wouldn't recommend them for your library.
Sentiment-We don't know why the lily is
recognized as the emblem of purity, unless
it is because man has been unable to adul-
terate it.
Athlete-Yes, porous plaster will some
times remove the effects of a strain or
wrench, but you'd better keep the wrench
to aid in removing the porous plaster
