THREE months from next Monday or Tuesday, November 8th., the presidential election will occur.

THE Republican campaign in Maine will open the 17th. of this month, and James G. Blaine will take the stump.

FOUR hundred years ago yesterday, Aug. 3rd., 1492, Columbus sailed from Palos, Spain, and discovered America.

THE new Chicago directory just out shows a population of 1,420,000 souls. She will be ahead of New York proper by 1900.

GROVER CLEVELAXDS headquarters are at Buzzards Bay. The American Eagle dont roost around there. He is not that kind of a bird.

A good many Democrats have been making their head quarters around Crows Nest since Clevelands nomination. The birds are about all eaten now however.

EIGHTY million dollars per year are paid the school teachers of this country. That accounts for our prosperity and progress.

Scientific men agree that the recent hot spell was due to the western prairies being afire with enthusiasm for Harrison and Reid.—[Eugene Field in Chicago News-Record.

STILL no Democrat has pointed out any article of domestic consumption that has been increased in price since the enactment of the McKinley law. Those whose price has been decreased might be named by the score.

W. C. WHITJSEY a Standard Oil millionaire and Calvin S. Brice another millionaire and who employs penetentiary or convict labor in his Tennessee coal mines at Briceville are both boomers of Grover Cleveland.

TALK about the Democrats carrying Illinois is silly. The Democratic .Congressmen, by their vote on the World's Fair appropriation of $5,000,000,000.00 which goes over until next December, made Republican success in Illinois doubly assured.

THE G. A. R. boys are not red hot for the "substitute ticket" The old veteran, General Sickles, was right when he said in Chicago, "There are 25,000 G. A. R. men in New York who will never vote for Grover Cleveland for President." They will be heard from in November.

MRS. LEASE the great calamity howler of Kansas, has a novel way of taking up a collection. At the close of her speeches she asks every one in the audience to hit her with a silver dollar. She is generally successful. It is a fact that unless these calamity speakers are well paid they refuse to speak. Our old friend Ben Him well known in this couuty has grown rich making calamity speeches.

CONGRESSMAN Watson, an Alliance member from Georgia made bold charges that Congressmen in a maudlin state of intoxication frequently addressed the House. A committee was appointed to investigate and they are finding more than tbey bargained for. Congressman Cobb of Alabama is one of the principal sinners. It is a shame and a disgrace that Congress cannot be run without bar room attachments.

Tine wheat crop of this couuty is turning out to be A No. 1 The yield is from 15 to 25 bushel per acre, many fields going higher, aud the quality first-class. The recent rains have given the corn and potato crops a boom and this promises to be a year of plenty and prosperity for Hancock couuty. Let. the farmers and all classes of business men keep the ball advancing at the present rate, and Hancock Co. will oon surprise everyone by her rapid advancement. Let every citizen of the county worK up to the "Level of their best," and strive to make greater advancement each year. The progress and prosperity of one, helps all, therefore it is a mutual cause, and there should be no laggards, but let every one be up and doing. "Keep poshing, 'tis wiser than setting aside,

And sighing,and watching,and waiting tke tide. In life's earnest battle they onlyjprevail Who daily march onward and never Bay fail."

Ttt prMmt Congrwii te nqw bring blessed all along the line.' Its chief characteristic is its imbecility, it has positively done comparatively nothing that commends it to the country. Did it do anything on the tariff question, the labor question, the silver question, the pension question, or any other of the great political problems of the day? Not one of them has it changed in the least. They aie all where the Republicans left them. Congress is crippling the Worlds fair by being afraid to vote its honest sentiments. The Democrats are postponing the Worlds Fair appropriation until December, or after the election. Shame on such demagogues and office seekers. The appropriation is right or it is wrong, and should be voted on now. Our National faith and honor are pledged, and all American* want to see the fair- a success. Shame on the cowardly demagogues.

THE Alabama election was, as usual, carried by the Democrats on Monday last by a majority of from 50,000 to 75,000. The largest vote in years was cast, as the negroes were allowed to vote. There were two Democrat tickets in the field: Governor Jones, the regular Democrat nominee, and Kolb, the Farmers Alliance Democrat. The majority ot the negroes voted for Jones, the regular Democrat nominee, and gave him his majority. While it may not, in principle, be right, the division of the negro vote in the South is about the only solution to the race question. While the whites are largely in the minority, they do not propose to be dominated and ruled over by the negro majority and holding all the positions, unless the negro vote is divided they simply tin ow it out.

THE Democrats absolutely decline to accept the currency question as an issue in the campaign. This is equivalent to saying to the American people: "Whatever the Republican administration has done or shall do on the currency question is the right thing to do, and we have no change to offer." This is simply a confession that the Republican party is the proper authority to entrust the question with.

Pitliv, Pointed and Pertinent.

Adlai also is well acqurinted with the capital I. The big crops in the Northwest are talking this year, and it is no calamity wail either.

Uncle Sam to the Canadian coon: Will you comc down, or shall I shoot this load of retaliation into you.

Dan Latnont's a1 sence from the country is made painfully evident by Mr. Cleveland, slate letters and speeches.

The skirt dancer who married tho English nobleman may be said to have kicked herse If into high social position.

David Beaten Hill is reported to have said that he was tired of the Senate. The Senate has heen tired of Hill for some time.

Candidate Weaver is just as confident now as he was in 1880, and his confidence will be repaid by about the same number of electoral votes—0.

Perhaps the reason Mr. Cleveland is anxious for the fight to begin is thftt he wishes Tammany to have somebody else to stick those knives into.

When a cripple blackguards a man who isn't a cripple it is not usually called bravery. Respectfully referred to Col. Fireeater Oates, of Alabama.

Mr. Cleveland is a believer in the theory of civil service reform, but in practical matters he pins his faith to men like Harrity, the Philadelphia spoilsman.

Mrs. Cleveland envokes more enthusiasm at Democratic meetings than anything else connected with that party. Harrity may have to start her and her little daughter on a campaign tour.

Our Democratic exchanges are unanimous in saying that Tammany has "buried the hatchet." Yes, brethren, you are right, and when it is pulled out next November the loss of blood will be too much for Grover.

The widow of Senator Plumb seems well supplied with the sort of common sense that made her husband famous, and she displayed a big chunk of it when she asked that a Congressional appropriation bill giving her $5,000 be struck out.

Cleveland, Ohio, was struck by lightning the other day, and Cleveland, the candidate will be struck by lightning next Novomber, for the second time, notwithstanding the udage about lightning never striking twice in the same place.

Assassination is always cowardly and is never justifiable, and everybody who sympathizes with the strikers at Homestead rejoices to know that they are unanimous in condemning the attempt made by the Russian anarchist to murder Mr. Frick.

Col. McClure was once a successful gambler, later a railroad lobbyist and then the editor of the Philadelphia Times, which was established with railroad money, and now he wishes to advertise Lis paper by holding a joint discussion on the tariff with Gov. McKinley. He must have been reading up on how the elder Beuuett boomed the Herald by get ting himself licked.

Senator Cameron, of Pennsylvania, who has been sharply criticised for haviug joined with Senator Vest, Blackburn and Butler, in helping ex-„ enator Mahone to prevent any other site being purchased for a

new

Government printing office

than the one offered by Mahone, has not increased his popularity by joining with Democratic Senators in trying to prevent the confirmation of the nomination of Mr. George Shiras, Jr., of Pennsylvania to the vacancy in the Supreme Court.

The Democrats are already beginning to try to step over that rotten free trade plank in their National platform, and in localities where there are protected industries they do not hesitate to say that they believe in the protection of established industries. The Democratic party has never fought a National campaign in which it did not try to stand on a'i sides of every important question, and the coming campaign is not to be an. exception.

Babbi Solomon Schindler Gives Some In* terestinie Facts.

The Difference Between a Purpose and Motive in Fiction. A Unique New Work Which Treats of Lying in a Very

Unconventional Manner.

Rabbi Solomon Schindler, the brilliant Boston scholar, has contributed a most interesting paper to a recent issue of the Arena on lying, in which he takes the new realistic story, ''Who Lies." as a text. By special permission we are enabled to publish this notable paper.

It may appear tautological to speak of the "purpose" and the "motive of a literary work in one breath: still there is a slight distinction between the two, and this distinction separates the former idealistic school of novel writers from the modern realistic school. It would be unjust te say that writers like Sir Walter Scolt, Eugene Sue, Alexander Dumas, Berthold Auerbach, and others have lacked a "purpose" when writing their admirable novels yet that "motive," that tendency, is indeed wanting in them which characterizes the works of realistic authors. Charles Dickens, who may be termed the connecting link between these two schools, —the novelist of .the transition period,— adds a distinct "motive"to the "purpose" when he attacks the miserable school system of his time, or the inhumanity with which the submerged classes are treated, or when he ridicules the hypocrisy of charitable institutions. Step by step we can thus trace the evolution of the "motive" in the realistic literature of our time.

The latest contribution of this character in fiction, embodying a strong "motive" has been presented to the reading public through the Arena Publishing Company, of Boston, iu their fifty-cent series of vigorous works by leading thinkers. The authors, Eniil Blum, Ph. D., and Mr. Sigmund B. Aiexauder, have correctly called it an "interrogation." They desire to call attention to one of the most serious problems of life they hurl an accusation at our modern civilization, against which a defence is not an easy task they cast a flash light on society, and show the rotten foundation upon which it rests.

Eight gentlemen, belonging to the cultured aud well-to-do classes of society, and representing various ualks of life, are assembled at a banquet. They are all graduates of the same college, in which they had been nicknamm? by their classmates the "Model Nine." Their friendship had existed during ten years, in which time each of them had won for himself a respectable position in society. One is a successful pnysiciau another a famous lawyer the tlurd stands at the head of a lucrative business concern the fourtii is the chief of a banking house, aud known as a gtvafc philanthropist: tne liftli occupies the pulpit of a fashionable church uie sixth edits a newspaper of large circulation the seventh hoid a professor'a chair at the Alma Mater ibe eighth is identified with the politics oi his State: the uinth, the most promising of them, had inherited an immense forcu id, aud nad during these years traveled extensively, i-le had therefore never been present at any tf their annual reunions, but is expected to join them on this occasion. A belated train brings him to the city and into their company, at the moment when they are drinking the health and praising the noble qualities of the absentee.

He is warmly greeted by his friends, who, however, find that he has changed considerably. Though apparently the same genial and brilliant fellow whom they had known in times past, he seemed to have become infested with the blackest kind of pessimism. He fiercely attacks the very civilization which they cherish so dearly. A controversy arrises, which culminates in a curious wager. Rust, the pessimist, claims that our whole civilization is a hugh "Lie that this "Lie" has permeated aud poisoned society to such a degtee that no one could speak the truth eveiyif he desired, for any length of time, without harming, if not destroying, his reputation and business prospects. This is emphatically denied by his friends who, on their part, claim that for one week, at least, they would pledge themselves to ad hare strictly to the truth. The wager provides, therefore, that if they adhere to the truth for one week, Rust must pay $8,000, but if one of them break his word, be must pay $1,000. The money to go to some benevolent institututiou, which the winner shall designate. It is further agreed that any member may withdraw his obligation on payment of $1,000 during the week, if he finds telling the truth too expensive.

The result was as predicted by Rust. Disaster in some form overtook each of them. In the last chapter, Rust informs them that he had offered the wager, not to win their money, but to give them an object lesson. Ail the miseries from which society is suffering, says he, are the logical consequences of the prevailing untruthfulness. Instead of trying to remodel the world, aud to better conditions by assailing consequences, they ought to attact the root of the evil, the "Lie." He proposes therefore the lormation of a society of veritists—of men who will pledge themselves to speak the]| truth always, unmindful of possible consequences. It is his firm belief that, iu the end, people will laarn that they prosper much better with truth than with untruth, and that while tor a short time they may be the losers, in the end they will win confidence and make up for the loss.

The lightening which illumines the path of the wanderer on a stormy night, shows him the precipice into which he is about to fall: thus "Who Lies?" reveals the dangers with which our present civilization is fraught, auu the root from which most of the evils grow. It suggests the only remedy: namely, to speak the truth and nothing but the truth regardless of the consequences. "Who Lies?" will be found not only amusing and interesting, but the reader will admire it for its courage und fearlessness. It is deserving of a wide circle of readers.

fi-v Nothing to Apologize For.

^The Republican party is the party of human progress, it boasts of no traditions. It has no followers, for all are leaders. It has given the world the best government ever administered among men. It has exalted labor, dignified the home and made the waste places produce plenty. In the track of its marches are seen a million factories, surrounded by happy and prosperous agricultural communities. It is the party of honest money and fair equivalents. It permits its citizens to be Iree and contends for equal advantages before the law for all men. It declares to the children of the rich and the children of the poor that the child of any American citizen can achieve anything possible in this great country.
