Mr.. Johnson's claims for Endorsement

Mr.. Marshall's friends of the insur-

\ Mr.. Johnson, notwithstanding his

The insurgents in the STATE have
claimed that they stood for princf-
pie and not for office. The nominal

would indicate that number Of the
insurgent leaders stand mainly for
office.
The people of the state who have
been besoughf to recognize the super

hardly fail to appreciate the lack OF
sincerity in the protestations of the
insurgent leaders, when they select a

DRINK AND DEATH.
What the Great Destroyer Is Doing to
Ruin Mankind.

DR.. Willard Parker, of New York,
one of the greatest physicians in the
United States, in his introduction tn
DR.. b. W. Richardson's Ten Lectures
on Alcohol" says: statistics show
that ten per cent. of the annual num-
Der of deaths in this country are due
to alcohol; that fully So per cent. OF
our insane are so either directly or
indirectly from its use; and that from
Is to 80 per cent. of inmates of our
penal and pauper institutions owe
their condition to it's influence. Be
sides this we find that IS per cent. Of
the inmates of our asylums for idiots
are the offspring of parents addicted
OF drink"
The annual death rate almost uni
versally accepted by statisticians and
insurance companies is 20 per 1000.
Estimating the population of the
United States at 100000, the total
number of deaths each year, on the
Dasis of 20 to 1000 is 1,350,000. and
ten per cent. of these deaths is 1885,
OO0-which, according to the Judgment
of DR.. Willard Parker, is the number
of deaths caused each year in our
country by the liquor traffic.

Alcoholism and Consumption.

In a recent address before the
American international congress on
tuberculosis DR.. T. D. Crothers OF
Hartford, Conn, the head of an in
stitution in that city for the treat
ment of inebriates, took occasion to-
point out the close connection that
existed between alcoholism and tuber-
culosis, says the Philadelphia Press.
The principal point presented by Dr..
Crothers in his address is that alcO-
hol weak MS the blood vessels of the
respiratory vessels and invites con
sumption; that the roll of consump-
tives receives annually vast additions
from the ranks of moderate drinkers
A reduction of our national drinking
capacity, therefore, means reduction
In the number of victims of the great
white plague.

OF the many children and women in
Nazareth, Palestine, who have picked
up little English, all have way OF
saying "of course" instead of a simple
yes" The expression which French
people catch up as characteristic of
the American and Englishman is al
ways "Oh, yes!" A correspondent,
who has cycled down the Rhone val
ley, about Provence, and along the
Rivera, found himself greeted with
"Oh, yes!" by the children in the
streets of nearly every town. And he
discovered, when his attention had
been called to the point in this way,
that, "Oh, yes!" was really what he
and his companions were always say.

Liquor Tax Rates.

The average rate of license taxation
in 122 towns of the United States hav-
ing a population exceeding 10000, is
$S35, as against an average of SITS
charged to similar towns in Great
Britain. If the comparison be made
with particular states or certain geog-
raphical divisions, the difference is
even more pronounced. The average
license duty in 81 New England cities.
says The Independent, is ten times
the average rate in similar cities in
the United Kingdom Naturally, the
revenue thus received is much greater
in this country than in Great Britain.
In the 164 British towns having a pop
ulation of 10000 and upward, the pro-
ceeds from this source are approx
mately $4,0S0,000; whereas, in the 122
American towns Of the same size it is
$50, ,975,O0O, or more than nine times as
much.

ened, most moral, and happiest spot
in American civilization. 1t is a good
safe place. Not too swift Eor yet too
slow. In touch with the current of
| progress, but not racing with greed.
The place from which come nearly all
the great business men, lawyers,
scholars, preachers, physicians. The
place where men are neightorly and
helpful.
This town, my farmer friend, is
yours. But the city belongs to the
mail order houses and the devil. With
| its corrupt government, It's overflow
of population, and it's vice, the great
city is the menace of our morals and
our liberties.
The city like the dragon swallows
the vast throngs of country boys and
girls that flock into it, and by and by
when health, and virtue and hope are
! gone, speWs them out to die in want
or wander as derelcts over the face
of the earth
And don't you see, my friend, that
when you take the money from the
country town, you destroy the chance
Of success there, and the boys and
| girls will follow where you have sent
the money?
This town of yours was founded on
faith, on the faith in the customs of
men for hundreds of years to trade at
| the nearest town. These merchants
and carpenters, masons and editors
are your neighbors. They have grown
up amongst you or amongst others
| like you.
They have put their all in a little
| business, money, time and hope.
Around the corner there is a little cot

there is smile Of happiness when
business is good" but the troubled
look comes when business is poor.
They are struggling to live, and pay

ucate the children. They are your
neighbors and friends, not your ene-
mics. They work hard-you scarcely
: realize how hard-and are not living
high. They have pinned their faith
to the town-your town.
Their success or failure is in your
hands. For your trade they will give
you good returns, and all will prosper
together If you withdraw your trade,
! failure must follow. Some poor strug-
gler must go down facing bankruptcy.
The light must go out of some wom-
ans eye, and hardship be laid up for
| the child.
Even If you could save a little by
! sending your patronage to the city, do
you not think it the fair thing, the just
thing, the right thing to trade at the
little home town with those you know,
those whose prosperity and happiness
are in your hands?
/ For it is written, Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself."

A preacher who was a crank on
doctrine wearied his congregation by
constantly harping on baptism. A
brother that longed for a rest handed
him a text he thought safe, The way
of the transgressor is hard"
Friends" said the preacher, there
are three things suggested by this
scripture; First, the transgressor.
Second, his conversion. Third, his
baptism. We will pass over the first
two and come at once to the third"
Many reasons why people should
trade at home rather than send their
money away have been given, but sup
pose we pass them all by and come at
once to the one vital reason:
1t is the right thing to do.
For after all the fundamental ques-
ton in every transaction is whether
1t is right or wrong. Not will l save
money, but Is it just? Not is it more
convenient, but is it fair? Not
whether is it good business, but
whether it is good morals?
For you and | know, and all the
world is coming to know, that not
one dollar is ever saved or made by
unfair means that does not curse the
possessor. And man may be as dis
honest in saving money as in getting
1t.
1t is right to spend our money with
the home town and wrong to send it
away because We are under obliga-
tons to the home town, but not to
the mail order house.
Financial Obligations.
In the first place the country is I'M
der financial obligations to the town
OF course the town is also indebted
to the country, but the town cannot
help but pay its debt. its very exist
ence does that. Hence we are merely
discussing the country side of the OBJ
legation.
