YOUR DUTY.

We have no apprehension that the
Republicans of the Ninth District will
fail to perform their duty at the special
election TO be held on the 18th of De-
cember. The substantial position which
the party now holds in the district has
been secured with too much effort for
any man who is earnestly Republican to
fail to do his part to maintain that posi-
ton. 1t is reasonable to conclude that
each and every active Republican voter
will hold himself ready to be promptly
at the polls on the day of election; and
that he will urge others, who are indif-
ferent or careless, if there be any such.
to go along with him and cast their votes
for the regular party candidate.
The party now has a candidate in the
held who is worthy of the confidence
and support of all true Republicans, and
also of all independent voters who wish
TO secure for the district faithful and
clean representation in Congress.
The election comes at an unseason-
able time of the year, and, possibly, the
weather may be cold and inclement. but
that will not deter the veterans from a
conscientious performance of their
work. Surely the younger men will not
hesitate to follow the example of the
veterans. Let every man go to work
now. The campaign will be short, but
let 1T be warm and enthusiastic. The
full Republican vote must be polled,
and another glorious victory will be
won for our worthy cause.

temperance in France.
(Loudon Outlook.)

A pair of travelling Englishmen were
walking about a great French frontier
town in Lorraine. A clock struck 5,
and one of them suggested that a cup of
coffee would be a good thing. They
turned into an establishment. over the
doorway of which the words, .Ligue
Rationale Control Alcoolisme. were
painted-not because the inscription an
pealed to them, but because this was
the only cafe in sight. In a large. clean
and comfortable room they sat making
maps and writingleters while they drank
their coffee which were excellent.
Toward 6 CLOCK an artilleryman came
into the room. He was loosely follow
ed by three troopers and half dozen of
the line. Very soon the room was filled
with soldiery of all arms, sitting at the
little tables and enjoying what appear
ed to be supplementary meal. Most
OF them were drinking a rosy LIQUID out
OF black bottles, which the walters pro-
cured with the food. Overcome with
curiosity, the strangers asked their own
waiter at length what this substance
was. He answered. with a glance of
pity, wine. But" said the unin-
structed barbarians, eff your establish
ment is contre' alcoolisme, how is it that
you sell men wine?" at is orr rule
replied the waiter. with the patience of
one explaining matters to a child. that
no man drinks more than half litre of
wine here. To be control alcoolisme is
not to be contre Palcool" This wis
dom the travellers laid up in their hearts
and went away thinking of the great
sanity of the French people.

NOW AND THEN.

Many of the partisan Democrats are
trying to magnify the present currency
stringency into financial panic, similar
to the one which prevailed during the
last administration of Mr.. Cleveland.
But the conditions are very different.
Now the bankers and spectators are
suffering from a lack of sufficient cur
rency; but the people are well supplied
with money. Besides, labor is profitably
and constantly employed and the farm
ers were never in better condition. All
the products of labor, especially farm
products. are in great demand and at
prices so high as to be a subject of con-
slant adverse comment by the Demo
cratic press. A long as these conditions
continue we will have no genuine panic.
The situation was very different dur
ing what was known as cleveland
times" Then there was not Only a
great scarcity of money among all
classes of the people, but labor was I'M
employed and starving, the farmers were
heavily in debt and could find no
markets for their products, and dire
calamity brooded over the land.

NO MATTER WHO

The Democratic Committee for the
Ninth Congressional District met at
Radford on last Saturday to determine
whether the party should put up a can
didate for Congress at the election to
be held on the 18th of December. Az
ter due elaboration it was decided to
hold a mass meeting at Bristol on the
2Srd inst, next Saturday, to determine
the matter, and nominate a candidate if
1t is deemed expedient. 1t is uncertain
whether this means that Mr.. Bailey ia
to be given the field as an independent
candidate, or whether some Democrat
shall be encouraged to announce him
self. 1t matters very little to the reg
ular Republicans which course is follow
ed. They can and will lick either Mr..
Bailey or an independent Democrat. or
they can and will lick both if two shall
run.
The Republicans have a large and res
olute majority in the district and they
intend to hold it. They will not be
