We are on a gold basis and the gold f s in Europe. Ob, ho | Severs conduce to" good health; brick streets'to pleasure. Build the aewcrs and then let the streets come. The Mt. Vernon Democrat has become a twenty-four column dally. Jt will (mild a pity where it is printed if the people of Mt. Vernon wllLeiye it the support it so i ichjy deserves, for It jsa flrst-class paper. The shooting of “craps” is secretly carried on and boys of all ages are learning to gamble every day. How - - pianv parents might find two or three little innocent looking cubes if they pxanpne the pockets of theli boys? Bors should take warning: that if thev persist in riding Bains on the sly they are liable to fall into the hands of the law at some unexpected moment. Don’t blame the officers if you should find yourself in the strong grip of the law. The Big Pike coiiuty fair will soon be here. The Secretary informs us that more entries will be made this year than ever. Let every one get something ready for this tho biggest pud best county fair ever held in the Stafe, Remember this fair allows no gambling of any kind. Where are all of those farmers and small taxpayers who were going to make such a row over thcuBw tax J9W? We hear all of the Bankers wndf Tax Dodgers in the Statu howling over it, but there does not seem to be a word of complaint from those prho have always paid taxeso t a true cash valuation. pays the Louisville Courier-Journal: Germany refuses to lift her enormous and outrageous tariff taxation off American grain, and as the exporter pays the tax, according to the MoKinleyiies, here are our American farmers supporting the finest army of soldiers in the world on the other Side of the ocean. Every young man is now a sower or seeit on tne neiu of 1116. TUe bright days Of youth are the seed time. Every thought of your intellect, every emotion of your heart, pvery word; of your tongue, principle you adopt, every act you per form is it seed, whose good or evil fruit will prove bliss or bane of yonr after-life. This is not campaign year, and Petersburg will have no re-uuion. Next year this pountv will have at least two. This has become all right as the Democrats cannot be injured thereby, and one of the adjects of partisan^ has worn to such gamie that even me Republican soldiers see through it with disgust. The Russian Government insists that the prohibition of rye exerts is pot a political but an economic action, because the crop will not be sufficient tor borne consumption. That is one difference between that country and this. Here is one difference Ik tween that country and this. Ilpre we are ing other nations to feed with our sprplus of crops, white other countries hunt nations from wl ich to be fed.

Mr 'McKinly amt his friends arc t near as confident about Ohio as they were before the farmers, most of then) Republicans, put a state ticket i» the field and avowed their determination to defeat McKinley as well as £hernian. The drift everywhere is against the Republicans and should they be defeated in Ohio and iowa ■ is doubtful whether the party will very rsply again. Iowa is certain to against (hem and it begins to look s if Ohio tyoqld too.—Ecanse'He ovrier. A political combination of Jiepviblicans and Democrats would ba re seemed, a few years ago, tliu most improbable thing that could hap|>cii, and yet it is said that this is the prcgraui for the fallcampaign in Kansas , ^ine district judges are to be elected, and sensible persons of both parties realize the necessity of filling these | positions with men of legal ability, the Alliance would elect men of their own organization, which excludes lawyers, this movement can |be prevented by a fusion ticket aocrats and Republicans, t time is near at band for our ly fair intake place, and every fanner of the county should bring f to exhibit.

A gentleman living in •own of Poole, England, c forcible small ring io give live thousand datl#FTt«ward ihe establishment of a free library in the town, in honor of Queon Victoria’s “jublcc.,’ lie w rote as follows lo the mayor of Poole: “I have been a householder in the •own of Poole about twenty one years, and have abstincd from the use of intoxicating liquors for. a longer period/ It is an established fact that the average expenditure in Eugland on alcoholic drink is about twentytwo dollars per bead per annum. Dating my married life my household has averaged six persons. The sum of twenty-two dollars per annum for each of these persons tor twentyone years, with compound interest, amounts to about five tlunisapd dollars, and with this sum I Riu very pleased to offer to erect a suitable building and present it to the town for the purpose of a free library,roadingroom, and, if possible, a school of art. The town will thus, benefit by my abstinence, and I am an additional gainer in being saved headaches and heartaches innumerable, which follow in tlie train of drink.” - The question naturally arise®, If one abstainer can do so much as this,what great results might not be gained by a nation who repudiated the evil caused by the liquor traffic? If the money now spent in drink could be devoted to such worthy purposes* we need no longer envy the free libraries of Paris.—Golden Argosy. A TRUE STORY. “Papa, can you please give me fifty cents for my spring hat ? the academy girls have theirs.” “No, May ;I cant,spit re the money.” The above request was persuasively made by a sixteen year old maiden as she was preparing for school one fine spring morning. The refusal came from the parent in a curt, indiffereut lone. The disappionted girl went to school. The father started for his place of business. On bis way thither he met a friend, amfbuinga bail fellow well met, invited him into Mace’s for a drink. An usual, there were others there, and the man that could not spare Ids daughter fifty cents for a hat, treated the crowd. When about to leave ho laid a halfdollar on the counter, which just paid for the drinks. Then the saloon keeper’s daughter entered and going behind the bar,said, “Papa, I want fifty cent’s for my spring hat.” “AU right,” 6ays tins, taking up the halj counter, bej who departs st! May’s father ws out atone, and said toniHBf: “I had to bring my fifty cents here for the rumseller’sdaughtcr to buy a hat with after refusing it my own daughter. I’ll never drink another drop.” And ho kept his pledge.—Pbit. Methodist*. ITEMS. Germany is the largest drink-trad-er with Africa, sending there more than 7000,000 gallons annually. The Liquor-License Court at Philadelphia cut down the number of liquor license in that city .from 928 to 284. The sale of liquor has been prohibited on the property owned by the Northern Pacific railroad by order of its president, Robert Harris. \ In her new and readable book, “How to Win,” Mivs M illard tells or a bright old lady who said, after view ing a brewery, a distillery, and a tobacco factory: “Ain’t I thankfull that the women folks ltain’t got alt that stuff to chew and smoke and swallow down ?” It is mere tnoekery to ask us to put down drunkenness by moral and religious means when the legislature factiiitates the multiplication of incitements lt> intemperance on every side. Yon might as well call upon me, as the captain of a sinking ship, and say : “Why don't von pump Ihe tyalerotvt?” when you ore scutltiug the ship in every direction.—Cardinal Manning.

Our Constitution - * The constitution of the United States, formulated after Independence had been won, was declared by so learned a critic as Willi tin Even Gladstone to be the most wonderful production of human intelligence that had ever con\e from if deliberate body. If Mr. Gladstone bad traced to its' real origin the constitution of the United Slates he would have found that it was the tntn of human intelligence and human expericiice. lie would have found nothing save elaboration of ideas conflicting witli lids sweet story of old, told nineteen centuries ago by ono who died for his convictions—or, rather, who was murdered by the State because be taught the doctrine that mankind should lire for and aid each other rather tban destroy each other for personal gain. This is his sermon preached from the mount: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are they that mourn, for they shatl be comforted.. ‘•Blessed at e 'he meek, for they shall inherit the earth. “Blessed an: they which do hunger and thirst after righteousuess, for they Shall be fVtlod. “Blessed are the merciful, for they ahatt obtain meroy. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see Clod. ore the peace makers, for be called the children of * they which are perse

sn; for mv “sake.” It will be seen th«t no mode of sdf* , govertiim-nt can possibly be insti.' tilled among men, unless these principles are observed. It has long been the fashion to say of every effort made by men to apply the principle of unset fish service of ! the public, that those who pro|>oso or promote such government are “demagogues,” or “Communists,” or “An'i arehists,’’ or Socialists. The rule has been that those who advise or commend efforts to elevate the people, by equalizing their opportunities, have also been classed as “disorganizes” or “revolutionists.” Now, there never has been any moral reform since the world began that lias beeu led by a pocketbook. If so, when was if and who led it? Jtiaoueof the strangest things that the history of the human family is most imperfect. All of the stories of the human family in the Old Testament arc full of hatred ami vengeance, treachery and deceit- For instance, Jacob gets the best of jhis father-in law in a trade, and Sarah makes a bargain with her jituSbaiTd, Abraham, to surender her ms rilal riglrs for the sake of having an heir which Abraham might claim as his own. The whole history of the Jews, as told in the Oid Testament, shows tjiat-the organization of society in Israel was based upon the principle of greed and self interest. It was all •right—indeed, Jacob is exploited in Scripture because he was smart to cheat and swindle Lotion. David was in a constant state of penitence because of his brutality. « Solomon,'-the wise, who built the temple aud made Jerusalem famous in bis day, also made it infamous by his debaucheries with the Queen of Sheba. It was not until Jesns, appeared in splendid young manhood, in the habitations of the poor and needy, from whose loins he sprung, that the rights of humanity were asserted. We have often thought that the preceipts and the example he gave to tlte world could only have come from a poor man, and that the “meek and lowly Jesus,” as he is often described, 13 blit a type of the “meek and lowly” in even age. Certain it is that he could not have preached these sublime doctrines that: Men should love caeh other because, they are Men, unless he had been in touch with the “common people.” WASHINGTON LETTER. (From oar Regular Correspondent.) Washington, Aug. 21, 1891.— Ex-Senator Mahone, of Virginia, enough and unscrupulous to attempt almost anybut if my information is psand there is every reason to believe that it. is, his latest scheme is one of the most desperate in which he ever engaged. He

once captured the State of Virginia and got himself sent to the Senate by getting control of the socalled re-adjuster movement in that State, and he is now plotting to get control of the Farmer’s Alliance movement in that State, in order to capture the legislature and get himself again sent to the Senate, this time as succesor to Senator Daniel. The-plot as all mapped out, and the decision of the republican State committee; of which Mahone is the owner, to nominate no republican candidates for the legislature was part and parcel thereof. The word has passed along the republican lines that they must support the nominations of the Alliance for the legislature if told to do so by their local leaders, and they are to be told to do so in every inatance that can be secured from the farmers candidate j to vote as they may be told for the I successor to Senator Daniel. Harrison republicans have never been plenty outside of the holders , of the Federal offices, but there is now a manifest disposition even among that class of republicans to get aboard of the Blaine train; which is believed to have been | given impetus enough by the semiendorsement of the Pennsylvania | state convention to enable it to make the trip to nomination station without any serious difficulty, even should Mr. Harrison attempt to play the part of train wrecker by placing obstructions on the track, which he may or may not do, as circumstances may determine. All the rumors about the coming retirement of Secretary Noble and Commissioner of Pensions Raum have been revived this week. One of the causes for this was the statement made by Secretary Roster that Mr. Harrison^would return to Washington the first week in September instead of remaining away until the first of October as he had originally contemplated, because there was some very important business connected with the Interior department that required his personal attention. The only question pending before the Interior department, so far as the public knows, that might be considered important enough to require the personal attention of Mr. Harrison is that of compelling the cattle kings to vacate the Cherokee outlet, they having up to the present time quietly ingored the orders of Uncle Sam to get out; but the general sentiment seeiqs to be that the important business is naming the successor to Secretary Noble and to Commissioner Raum, who are th<s two most important officials connected with the Interior depart- [ ment. Another thing which is; probably having its effect in mat- j ing Mr. garrison change his plans j is, that he can pull the wires for se- j curing delegates to the national convention, shotild Blaine allow, continue to think himself a

guardians or trustees and that it uill be a%ng time before they are presented for redemption and that they will come in slowly and in small quantities. Should he be wrong, and the most of these bonds be presented for redemption immediately after they matur^ September a, oMr. Fos ter will, if he carries out his present intention of using a part of tftij|HoG5t«)0,Q©@ gold reserve fund to pay them, in the opinion of able, constitutional lawyers, render himself liable to be held personally responsible for the a r.ount taken from the fund, to say nothing of impeachment by Congress. There are those who say that Land, Commissioner Carter, Russell Harrison’s protege, has not over worked himself in trying to carry out the law driving the cattle kings, some of whom'are said to be warm friends of both “Russ” and himself, from the Cherokee outlet. Some inquiry into this business may have to be made by Dr. Harrison senior. Mr. Wanamaker was the principal speaker at a reunion of the “Old time telegraphers” and the “Military telegraphers”, held here last night. Wires were run into the hall and every word of the proceedings was instantly ticked into more than one hundred thousand telegraph offices throughout the land. A large number of distinguished scientists.are here in attendance uppon the annual convention of the American Association for the . Advancement of Science.
