The commifisioners of Newton county had on their temperance war paint last week. Of the six applications for saloon licenses, all but one were refused. They were not knocked out by Nicholson bill remonstrances, but were successfully opposed under the provisions of the old law.

A Blind Man Should See It.

During the last twelve months of the McKinley law the exports from Manchester, England, to the United States were of the value of $7,343.659. Daring the first twelve months under the Democratic tariff they were $12,450,002. Now which is the wiser policy ? to have manufactured at home this difference of five million dollars and upward of wares as we were doing under the McKinley law, or to do as we have done under the Gorman-Wilson tariff law, send abroad for them? It would take a very blind man, indeed, with those Hignres in his head, not to see which encourages home industries and which discoitrages them.—Oswego Times. According to the Indianapolis Neivs, the State Liquor League will take up the license case of George Strickfaden, of Rensselaer, and push it through the courts as a test case. But although the News does not say so, this will probably depend upon the celerity with which his case gets through the circuit court. There are quite a good many counties in which are cases very similar to Mr. Strickfaden’s, and it is very probable that the Liquor League will specially take up the one that gets through the curcuit ©ourt the soonest. It is tbeiaten- •* ticn of the liquor League to attempt to overthrow the Nicholson bill in the Supreme Gourt, at the earliest possible moment, and on every possible issue.

An Argument For Protection.

“The free trade and anglomaniac organs like the New York Times are making much of the recent article of Mr. Mulhall in the North American Review for #Hne,” says the Indianapolis Journal. “It is an excellent article, but the mere striking of the facts were brought out in the census reports of 1890. All the rapid increase of wages in cities was presented in census bulletins which tho Time s and other Cleveland organs were not newspapers trough to publish iD 1891 and 1892. Now these papers are giving the Mulhall tables as if original discoveries. Here is one d£ them which republican papers printed in fullfnce type all the oampaign of 1892, showing the study increase of wages. . Dollar* Wages. !>er opTeor. Millions. erative, 1860 379 289 1870 620 302 1880 948 347 1894 2,283 485 “Again the Times gives the following, as if Mr. Mulhall had made the discovery, when, as a matter of fact, it was all in the last census: “ ’The changes in the distribution of average wealth in the last forty years throughout the different parts of- the country are very striking. In 1850 New England led with $413, and was followed by the Middle States with 1340, the Southern 1314, the Prairie S2OB, and the Pacific $lB3. In 1890 the order was as follows: '•Pacific, $2,247; Middle, $1,260; Prarie, $1,130; New England, $1,112; the Southern, $539. The average for the Union in 1850 was S3OB, and 1890 $1,039/

“It was ‘very striking’ in 1891 and in 1892 when first published by American newspapers and silently ignored by free trade organs or else denounced as republican lies.. “It needs to be added that all these figures, presented by a British statistician, are testimonials to the wisdom of the republican policy of protection which the Times has so bitterly fought all these years. In no other country have wages shown an increase so large from decade, to decade, both per capita and in the aggregate. Iu no country in the world has the average wealth .risen in such long strides from decade to decade. Never was there such a splendid testimonial •ta the -efficacy - of the republican policy of protection.” The death of Hon. Wm. Dahncke, of Wheatfield, County Commissioner Elect, will not, if we are correctly informed, leave any vacancy in the County Board, after December. As he had never qualified for the office, we understand that Capt. Faris will holdover, at least until the next general election.

? The ants, a people small and frail, fly tlieir industrious toll, Bearing their precious burdens home, —And garnering up their spoil. They dream notfof the firsts and snows,, In Winter, stern and hoar; They only, know In sunny days, , To hoard, their little store.- _ ; - “The conies are a feeble folk,” Yet wise to make their dwelling-place In rough and rocky lands. They wis not what is weak or strong In coverts where they bide; ~ They only know In craggy clefts Their timid heads to hido. The bee. that builds her little cell By philosophic rules, . _____ Learned not Her' wondrous building art In any earthly schools. A wisdom older than tjie sun Broods o'er each busy hive, And hence those cunning works are wrought _.By_wliiek.its fortunes -thrive-.-!.—, The bee. that found the honey stored In Earth’s primeval flowers, And drew the precious nectar forth From Eden’s garden bowers, Knew the old building art as well, And made no break or flaw; For then, as now, she shaped and wrought By an eternal law. The bird, on eager Wing, that hastes From Northern snows afar, Finds not his way to tronlc skies By guiding Sun or Star; A s up he mounts to take ills flight, Through empty fields of air, His impulse points the rightful path, The sunny lands are there, If these olear rays of light From tlieir far shining home, Can gleam through insect, beast and bird, Foreshowing things to come; Arc there no heavenly lessons taught By all man’s hopes and fears, The Teachings of hls year n lug thought Toward the eternal years? Since Adam’s children trod the earth, In all their wanderings wide. O’er spreading plain, or sea-girt Isle, Or lonely mountain side; This mighty dream of life beyond, . Some fairer dwelling-place, Untroubled by the storms of earth, Has journeyed with the race. The Indian sees his hunting grounds Clothed in perpetual June, Stretching afar where soft winds blow, Beneath some dreamy moon; / And Plato saw his heaven of thought W hero all the good and wise Should hold their converse, long and deep, Beneath resplendent skies. ,-r Shall beast and insoct safely walk By tills strange guiding beam? Shall wandering bird securely find The haven of his dream? And shall not man, in godlike form. Share this supernal light. And find the land of which he dreams, Beyond his mortal sight? Kate Bodokrs.
