Farewell from that moment of tempo

he gradually sank into a nameless

that seemed as though it would never
grow less. 1t fell on his children, whose
pasty faces and spiritless manner were
the evidence of past starvation, and it
blighted their prospects in life. That
one glass of ale had disastrous re-

Long travel through many countries
has made il clear to my mind that there
are three things which have wrought
ruin in those foreign lands wherein
honest trade could be built up by hon
est men. These are whisky, an en-
forced civilization, and false use of
the Bible. By whisky, mean the intro
duction into such countries as China,
Japan and the South Sea islands, of
the manufacture of rum and it's insidi-
Gus. fascinating and ruinous effects on
the natives. By civilization, mean the
introduction of such methods as are
wholly unnecessary to an already civ
ilized people, such as change in dress,
fashions and other hybrid social GUS
toms. BY the Bible-and | would say
nothing against the good book-I mean
the introduction of cant by unprinci
pied hypocrites. whose only aim in at
tempting to spread the Gospel has been
their personal gain.-Robert Mackay,

ALCOHOL CAUSES DISEASE.
Indulgence In Alcoholic Drinks of
Any Kind Units Men for
Army Duty.

1t is not only in the tropics that the
use of Intoxicating liquors - mild
beer" no less than fiery whisky-is
conducive to disease by so weakening
the system as to make its natural de-
tense against the assault of disease
less effective. Any physician under
stands this fact. One of the first
questions asked by the examiner for
a life insurance company is whether
the applicant for a policy drinks in
toXicants. If he does the risk is re-
garded as considerably more hazard
Gus, and some companies take whisky
drinkers in preference to users of
beer.
One trouble about the effort to up
root the army canteen, and the great
est trouble, is the fact that army Off
GERS themselves are inveterate drink
ers. AT West Point they are taught
the strictest sense of personal honor;
to lie is an objectionable offense,
while to cheat or to betray or to do
anything ''underhandeu' is inconceiv-
able; but to drink is one of the nat
ural attributes of a gentleman! We
must admire the high notions of honor
and integrity that are there instilled
would that we had more of them in
the workaday worId-but at the same
time one cannot but regret the fail
ure to realize the manifold evils flow
ing from the use of liquor and the fail
ure to inculcate any lessons that will
teach the embryo army officer that
he can be better soldier by letting it
alone. There was formerly a notion
that man could not be a good news
paper man without being more or
less of a drHnkard, but that is of the
past. There was once notion that
a good commercial traveller must be
a ready drinker, but that also is OBJ
solete. The army is the only large
business in America that has not
moved against the drink habit; it
should be awakened to the spirit of
the twentieth century.-Indianapo

the south, the speakers were an i'm
provement upon those stilted "spell-
binders" of to-day. While oratory is
not lost art, we do not have so much
of it in the latter day campaigns as
in the days when political leaders gave
more attention to the public affairs of
the country. The ISSUES of those cam
paigns were more of local and general
interest, perhaps, than those of the
present day. One of the burning is
sues" was the right of the territories
to introduce or prohibit slavery. An
other was whether congress had the
right to legislate on the question of
slavery. DuriSs the second quarter
of this century those issues were ever
uPpermost, and the leading men were
heard in every campaign until the
civil war silenced argument, and the
matter was settled by arms. These
two issues eliminated at the Charles
ton convention, in 1860, which result
ed in split between the rival candi-
dates, Davis, of Mississippi, ana Steph-
en- A. Douglas, of Illinois. Breckin-
ridge and Douglas led the rival wings
of the democratic party to defeat.
During that campaign the issues were
so personal that the old plan of joint
discussion was abandoned especially
in the rural districts, for at that time
men began to reason less. and made
political belief personal matter.
In the early campaigns, in the rural
4 ,@f, ,ntc ho, E.,
of every joint meeting. The darlys of
the plantations, who understood the
knack of barbecuing beeves, were en-
ployed and looked forward to these
occasions with no little pride, for they
boasted upon their culinary ability.
The speakers passed good-natured
jokes. sandwiched in their incsive. en-
haustive and "unanswerable" argu-
ments, at which the rival partisans
cheered and laughed alternately.
At noon a recess was taken, when
both sides adjourned to the long ta-
bles under the bower to eat, and dis.
cussed politics good-naturedly. After
dinner the speaking was continued by
orators of less renown, during which
time the small boys" and the darkvs
fell in line and finished up the richly
barbecued meats and les and stuff
which had been added by the ladies of
the neignDorhood. The picturesque
ness of the olden-time political meet
ings and the necessary barbecue
passed away with the civil war.
New men and new issues have come
upon the stage. and the veteran
statesmen of those good old days have
nearly all passed away. The cam
paigns do not seem to be so interest
ing as then, neither are the issues so
ably discussed, nor the meetings so
largely attended. The masses depend
more upon the newspapers for reports
of speeches, also for their ideas, as
they think less in their pursuit of
wealth. ]. M. SCANLAND.

Sad Interpre tatiOns In His Life of tn e
Oriental SalutatiOn "May Your

This oriental salutation is capable of

sinister fulfillments threatened a man
whose surname, bequeathed to him by
his father with other and less enduring
legacies, was lost in the Sobriquet of
Drunken jim" His shadow certain
ly grew shorter, for his knees bent, his
shoulders slouched and his head poked,
as his spirit to look the world in
the face gradually melted away. Again
and again, more often for the sake of
his family than for his own, friendly
hand was stretched to raise him up.

heard. In those good old days, when
democratic and whig orators were ar
rayed against each other, the meet
ings were composed of men of both
parties and usually about in equal pro-
portion to the strength of each party.
The democrat was not so hide bound
but that he was willing to hear what
the whig eXpounder had to offer and
why he thought his system of politics
the better. The whig voter also want
ed to know what the democrats had
by way of argument
The editors of the newspapers, who
were generally political leaders, and
often were good speakers. attended
these meetings, and took ''copious
notes" These they printed, eulogiz-
ing the orator, if of their political
faith; but if of the opposition, the
editor gave a running criticism, in
terjecting his own political opinions
by way of reply. These editorial re-
ports were run on the editorial page.
Often the report was a scathing at
tack on the speaker and his party,
and a duel followed-for editors in
