cat-o'-Nine Tails for Drunkards.

South Carolina having abolished the
saloon and substituted the dispensary,
she now proposes to establish hospitals
for drunkards, where thirst will be
treated as disease. If along with
bromides and tonics the cat-o'nine
tails should be prescribed for inebri-
ates who neglect or abuse their wives
and children, the innovation would
work wonderful cures. The one dam
ger of dealing with drunkenness as a
disease is that it may be forgotten that
drunkenness is also q vfse--Philadel-

Quay and the People.

From the New Castle Courant-G Guardian.
The enemies of M. S. Quay who
imagine that some of the members
of the legislature who are not open
ly in his favor will vote against
him, and SO encompass his defeat,
do not take into consideration sew
eral circumstances which will make
his next canvas in the state legisla-
ture different than it was before.
At the time of his famous battle he
was under indictment in the courts
and the cry was raised, "No trial,
no caucus" and it appealed to some
who were not personally opposed
to Quay.
But since that time he has been
acquitted by the court and by the
Republican party in the State, whose
members have faith in him and be-
ieve that the charges against him
were false and made for political
purposes. His enemies were pow
erful and persistent, and by the
very force of their accusation COM
PEELED attention, but the people
have shown conclusively that they
prefer to trust Quay to trusting the
gang opposed to him, and he and
his friends have been elected to the
control of the next legislature of
Pennsylvania.

The closer one gets to Bryan's s
Nebraska home, the less the people
seem to care for him. The Mime
apolis Tribune rubs it in after this
fashion: "The better the country
knows Mr.. Bryan the less it wants
him in the White House, or, indeed,
in any place of responsibility and
power. He made a more thorough
canvas this year than he did four
years ago; he talked to more people,
he presented his views more fully,
and he was beaten worse. 1t was
evidently a case of familiarity
breeding contempt" 1t is only in
Massachusetts that they look upon
Bryan as a "second Abraham Lin
coln."

When Carnegie Was a Lad.

Apropos of the old-time telegra-
piers in convention at St. Paul,
this story is told of Andrew Carne-
gle, who once handled key.
A white-haired man had desk
in the editorial rooms of the Pitts
burg Times in the latter part of the
SOS. He "did" exchange work,
"marine" and commercial. One
afternoon a messenger boy came in
with special. His slip was signed
by the telegraph editor and the boy
left.
The old man in the corner took
off his spectacles, wiped them care
fully, and said:
Thirty odd years ago I was
what they now call telegraph
editor. We didn't get many mes
sages in those days and the boys
didn't wear uniform. One day a
chunky little lad put a telegram on
my desk. and l signed for it as you
did just now. The boy was Andy
Carnegie"
The old man replaced his specta-
cles and resumed his S20-a-week
job.

Why They Oppose Quay.

Hon. George McNees tells a good
story on one of his rural constituents
from Cowanshannock township. He
was an old gentleman with shaggy
whiskers, who does not keep as well
posted on political affairs as some men
who have little else to do, but had his
own ideas of right, and did the best he
could with the light he had. His dis
trict went strongly anti-Quay at the
spring primary, and as he was some
thing of a leader up there, Mr. McNees
said, the first time he saw him after
election:
"Your township went pretty strong
ly anti-Quay, didn't it@'
"Yep"
"Don't seem to like Quay very well
up there, do they?"
"Well," said the old man, in a half
apologetic tone, "they hain't nothin'
particular again. Quay, but you know
his brother Andy has been wantin'
somethin' for long time, an hain't
been gettin' a tarnation thing. From
what we could see in the Times we
concluded that Andy Quay wasn't a
bad sort of a feller, an as Mat had been
beatin' of him right along, an we be-
lieve in passin' good thing around,
we jest voted for Andy Quay.-Punxy
