Reason for the Party.

When existing political parties become unable to
grapple with and supreme issue, the people
have the right and it becomes their duty to organize
party that shall grapple with that issue and
settle it. The founders of the Republican party
acted on that principle; and when, in the of
time, similar condition of affairs found to pre-
vail again, the Prohbitionists, acting that same
principle magnifcently vindicated by the Repub-
lican fathers, organized party to do what
neither old party would or could do,-grapple with

Pledge-Taking Revival Needed.

There is revival of social drinking in this coun-
try. Princeton Inn is straw which shows how the
wind blows. Many good people defend moderate
drinking Wines creep into many respectable Gel
lars, and great quasi-nvalids drink beer. Re-
lgious papers advertise malt extracts We fear that
too much emphasis has been laid upon prohibition
by law, and not enough on total abstinence by the

Christians is that of love. If drinking wine cause

sharp man to get ahead of boy, for

cigarettes and wanted a package. l sold
them and got the money. In a minute
a neighbor came in and wanted to know
what the boy bought. told him,
"'Well, said he, that beats the
devil Do you know what that boy did?
He was in my store about five minutes
ago and asked me to buy pamphlet
that is issued by the Anticigarette
league, whatever that is. He told me
that the boys in the public schools were
trying to sell them everywhere to do
away with the bad habit of cigarette
smoking among the sohoolboys.
thought it was good thing, and 1
bought one from him. He sold some
others in the same neighborhood. Now
that little rascal comes in here and
spends my money for cigarettes, and
I'll bet dollar that you'll find him
around here somewhere near smoking
for all that's out I'm going to look
him up.
1.-The next day asked him if he had
caught the kid, and he said:
/ did. He and some chums were
having a good time of it, and, more
than that, all of them were in the same
business. They thought it was a good
joke, and suppose it was-on me-but
if they come around my store again
they'll get booted out.
But" said the cigar dealer, 'they
are too sharp to get caught. They only
work one man at a time, and none of
the gang ever goes back again. They keep
list, and l expect an examination will
show that they have been to every store
in that whole neighborhood. Where
they get the pamphlets l do not know,
but imagine some of the good people
of the league had them printed for gra-
tuitous circulation, and the boys con-
oluded to sell them. They're pretty
slick. "

Washington, March 15.-The bureau
of ordnance opened bids yesterday for a
large supply of cartridges. The bidding
brought together a number of the rep
resentatives of the large steel and am

assurances that in the present emerg-

the preference over commercial orders.
The bids for steel projectiles varied only
slightly on the various classes of heavy
shot running from SIG each for the
eight-inch shot to s235 each for the 1000
Founders.
The bids for rifle cartridges were in two
parts: 10000, 900 being standard metallic
ball cartridges with brown powder and
100000 metallic cartridges with smoke
less powder The bids were the same in
each case, $3.50 for the brown powder
cartridge and $27 for the smokeless pow
der cartridge. One company offered to
deliver $4,000 at once, and all offers con-
templated delivery of 100, 900 day after
