Cure for Drunkenness.

No one can be cured of drum
kenness-of any kind-until he
really wants to be cured. His
body may be pumped full of nos
trums, but he will remain a drum
kard at heart, until he takes the
will-cure, and ceases to look long
ingly after his sin and see how
close he can get to it without
falling into it again.
Second, keep away from temp
tation. If you sin came through
the dance. do not even look at a
dance again. If from gambling,
do not touch a pack of cards even
when no stake is played for. If
from strong drink, do not even
read the papers that advertise
liquors.
Third, cram your life with
healthy interests. Hard work is
one Of the best specifics against
intemperance-a veritable gold.
cure.
Fourth, and finally, though first
of all in Importance, do not trust
in your own strength. Appetite
is a fearful thing. God, who made
it, is the only one that can mas
ter it, as any one may prove. No
drunkard has fallen farther into
beastliness than many of those
who have "stretched lame hands
of faith" out Of their pits, and
have met the answering hands of
God. There is no depth of sen.

AS to the absurd threat of the
anonymous individual, who wrote

as to the other papers, that our
vote would hurt our exposition,
it is sufficient to say, that the

majority in the legislature, and

OF course, we do not know how
the city will vote in the second
primary, but we believe it will
give nearly as large a vote for
McSweeney as the combined vote
of McSweeney, Gary, Patterson
and Whitman at the first primary,
provided, of course, that as large
total vote is cast. We think
the whole Prohibition vote of the
city went to Hoyt in the first
primary and perhaps also the
votes of a few that thought Pro-
hibition would help to pull down
the dispensary. We do not think
the Hoyt vote can be increased
in the second primary either in
the city or the state, although we
do believe that outside of the
city his vote in the first primary
was largely increased by those
who regarded his candidacy as a
stepping stone to high license

CharlestOn's Vote for McSweeney

a great ADO Is Delng raised by
the friends, or rather we should
say the supporters, of Col. Hoyt
in his candidacy for the COVER
norship because of the large vote
which Charleston gave for Gov.
McSweeney, and which they lear
will be even larger at the second
primary. 1t appears to us that
these complaints are altogether
groundless and unreasonable. The
charge that the city's vote was in
the interest of the blind tigers is
simply malicious.
The facts are that there were
five candidates for governor, not
one of whom, on the stump or
elsewhere, promised Charleston
anything for her special interests.
If any candidate thought that
Charleston's interests conhicted
with those of the rest of the state,
he at once jumped on Charleston,
because the vote of the rest of
the state is larger than the vote
of Charleston. Every intelligent
voter in Charleston knows that
there is no such conflict as sug.
gested and that what is best for
the state is best for Charleston,
and vice versa, so that the only
question in Charleston as to a
choice of gubernatorial candidates
was which would make the best
governor.
Whitman was never considered
a possibility. Gary and Patter-
son were left out because it was
considered certain from their
speeches that they would discrim
mate against Charleston, and a
man who would discriminate
against any part of the state is
not a good governor. That left
the choice, as it will be at the
second primary, between Hoyt
and McSweeney. Col. Hoyt is
the Prohibition candidate. Char.
lesion is not a Prohibition com
munity. Neither does it favor
the dispensary, although prob
ably the men who would vote
outright for the dispensary are
more numerous in this city than
those who would vote for Pro
hibition law. Every candidate
for governor promises to enforce
the dispensary law, if elected, as
indeed he would be in duty bound
to do. So that all the candidates,
even Col. Hoyt, were dispensary
candidates, although Col. Hoyt
was also a Prohibition candidate.
There is a majority in Charles
ton against the dispensary, but
there is a still greater majority
against Prohibition, and in this
case the Prohibition candidate
could promise no relief from the
dispensary even in the future,
except by the substitution of Pro
hibition, which is still less popu-
lar here. Is it to be wondered at
then that Charleston should vote
for Governor McSweeney, under
whose administration the state
has been prosperous, with good
feeling between the up country
and the low country, among all
classes of it's citizens Why
should our people throw aside
man tried and true for an untried
man who could promise no more
than we have already, and whose
idiosyncracy on the liquor ques-

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS.

A disgraceful episode in the con-
duct of Cuban affairs is the postal
frauds perpetUated by u agents in
that island, which have just been
brought to light through the inves-
LEGATIONS set on foot by Governor
General Wood. The amount of the
shortage is now said to be $500, 900,
with possibly large additions to that
amount yet to be discovered, as the
robbery has been going on for nearly
a year. 1t appears that some time
in July last orders were givenfor the
destruction Of SAIL, 600 worth of sur
charge stamps because of the issue Of
a new stamp. The work Of destruc-
ton was entrusted to Charles F. w.
Nicely, a newspaper man Of Muncie,
Ind, whose political influence had
led to his appointment to a position
of trust in the service. It is believed
few of these stamps were destroyed,
but were used in place of new stamps
to the amount OF many, perhaps hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. Sus-
picion was awakened months ago
by the fact that while the p~ostofice
receipts. at HAVANA were $4,000 a
month the other offices of the island
aggregated only $4,000 to $4,000 a
month when receipts at Santiago or
Mantanzas alone should have amour
ted to quite those figures. Yet not
until Gen. Woods attention was di-
rected to the matter was anything
done about it. Nicely has been ar
rested in New York, and Gen. Wood
has taken possession of his property
in Cuba. The accused man has been
released upon $40, 900 bail.-Farmers'

DISTRESS IN D
Accounts Received From Famine Districts
Said to Be Terrible.

SIMLA, May 18.-Terrible accounts
T received Of the distress which
prevails in all the famine districts
despite the lavish distribution of
funds. Fifty-eight laos of rupees
(about 81, 800, OOO) have already been
expended in purchasing cattle and
seeds, while the government has
made a further allotment of seventy
five laos of rupees (about 50, 400, 0OO.)
The Viceroy, Lord Curzon of Ked-
lesion, has received an autograph
letter of sympathy fran the King Of
Siam, inclosing 5000 rupees. The
Viceroy added to this a similar sum.
With previous contributions the do
nations of Lord Curzon and Lady
Curzon total up $4,000 rupees.
