shire, says: "The situation this
year seems to me to resemble in some
respects that of 1876. Then, with

almost no apprehension of defeat. We
lost Indiana, barely saved Ohio with
an Ohio candidate running for Presi-

Hover you may wear in your bridal

One more Thoughts: We may
ali have the pleasing reflection that
we will never have cause TO regret
having worked for the temperance
cause, especially when we come down
TO that narrow isthmus which sepa-
rates the future from the past and
connects eternity with time.
Then, when casting the last linger
ing look back upon this world TO
which we are about to bid adieu for
ever, the thought that we have
worked for the cause of temperance
Will never plant thorn in the pil-
low OF sickness or add pang to the
agonies of death. But there NAV be
other thoughts. 1t may be that OF
having lived II profligate life: having
reared family of profligate children.
they to raise others no less profligate
IN turn, thus transmitting guilt and
misery to remote posterity. 1t
may be thoughts like these that will
give to the evening of life sadder
coloring and to the hour of death
denser darkness.
In conclusion let me say to one
and all, if you wish to raise YOUR
selves to higher state of man hood
and womanhood, or do anything to
elevate the standard of morality
IN your community or anything to
advance the interest of Gods king
dom In the world you have the OPP
portunity in working for cause so
pure aud full of mercy, that is
known as the cause of God, who will
IN his own good time cause it to gain
a permanent u complete, a glorious
triumph.

RETURNS TO sMIrE THEM

Two battle cries Of the Republi-
can party have lately become BOOM
erangs and are shifting down the
throwers. In stentorian tones they
have met the cry of imperialism from
the Democrats by the taunt of "Who
will Haul Down the Flag" and lust
as their spell-binders were getting in
good work, as they thought on this
line, the report of the receding DO.
sition taken by Mr.. McKinlev's
agents in Alaska is made public. IL
seems that there was y controversy
with England over a boundary line
which had never heretofore been in
dispute, and in q most gracious man
ner the Administration hauled down
the Stars and Stripes and turned
over to England a strip of United
States territory twelve miles in
breadth. So much for Mr.. McKin-
ley's eagerness to curry favor with
England. This concession is a re-
markable one, but it creates less won.
derment than it would otherwise
have done had not Messrs. Mckinley
and Hay showed a spirit of ''boot.
licking" in the matter of the Paunce-
forte treaty.
The other boomerang is that of the
"Full dinner-pail." They would
make the workman believe that
liberty and taxation were small
things when compared to a full
stomach. Also that we are living in
times of prosperity, and that work
men are not idle, and the mills run
ming over time. About the time the
campaign button was stamped with
dinner pail the cotton mills at Fall
River, Mass, closed down; shortly
afterward right here at home the
furnaces of the Virginia Coal and
Iron Company stopped, and on Mon
day last 10000 miners in the Wv
oning Valley of Pennsylvania threw
down their picks because they were
not getting sufficient wages to sun
port themselves and families after
the Company's stores had taxed them
TO the utmost for the provisions
which they were compelled to buy
there.
This is one of the sublimest spec.
tacies which has been witnessed in
THIS great country since the "Mollv
Maguires" ragged through the Penn.
syivania coal fields. So great a bear.
ing does it appear to have upon the
poiitlcal prospects this fall that the
republican National Committee is
just at present bending its energies
almost solely in efforts to counteract
IT, They put up the cry that the
strike was prompted by Democrats,
ana TINS throws ludicrous phase
over the whole matter. These men
have always heretofore voted the Re.
publican ticket, along with their
bosses, and it will be interesting 70
watch events in that rock.ribbed
Republican state.

LARGEST sTIKE ON RECORD

$4,000 miners of the Pennsyl-
wanna coal district are on a strike
Inc president of the company saws:
"We feel confident that the entire
number of men employed in and
aoout the coal mines of the anthra-
cite district will be idle in the NEXT
few days. The men appear deter
mined to continue on strike until
their demands have been adjusted
and acceded to. The number of men
now out on strike exceeds that of
any other industrial contest in the
history of our country"
