repeatedly afterward protested against

The spirit of the same iaw had, how
ever, been in force in Pennsylvania
several years. Witness the following
act jr: scd by a It< public-in legislature
and signed by a Republican (ioveraor
M< reh It, 1 36T :
Be it enacted, etc., That on after
the passage of this act any railroad or
railway corporation, within this Com
monwealth, that shall exclude, or allow
to be excluded, by tl.< ir agents, con
ductors, or employees, from any of
their passenger cars, any per.- m, or
persons., on account cf coioi, or race,
er that shall refuse to carry in any of
their cars, th:i3 set opart, any person,
i r persons, on account of odor, or,race,
or that shall, for such, reason, compel,
or attempt to compel, any person, or
persons, to occupy any particular part
ef any of their cars, set apart for the
accommodation of people as passen
gers, shall be liable, in au action < f
debt, to the person thereby injured, or
aggrieved, in the sum SSOO, the same
to be recovered, in nn action of debt,
as iike amounts are now by law re
coverable.
Three years later tbe Republicans
emphasized their position in a law which
pi jvie< d, furthermore :
That so much of every act of assem* j
l.iy as provides that only white free
men shall b ■ entitled to vote or !:e
registered as vot< rs, or a- claiming to
vote at any general or special • lection
of this Common wealth, be and the
same Is hereby repealed; and that!
hereafter all freemen, without distinc
tion tif color, shall be enrolled and reg
istered, and shall, when otherwise
qualified under existing laws, be en- 1
titled to vote at all geucn:l and special
elections in this C'ommonw ahh.
In IBSI the Republican Lcgi-bttute
pa si d a bill making it ' unlawful for
any school director, superintendent or.
leac'.aY to make any distinction what
ever on acc unt of, or by r< ason of the j
race or color of any pupil or scholar ;
wh > may b; in attend'.;ue up in, or I
seeking admission to, any public or !
common school, maintained wholly or
in part under the school laws of tins
Comm .nvveal fa." 1 his act was ap
proved by Governor Iloyt, June H,
I Hti I.
THE DEMOCRATIC I'OSiTJON.
Not Ie«« emphatic, although in
strange contrast to the above laws,
was the following r> solution which ;
the Press r< product. frotu tbe records
of the Democratic State Oonvcnti n
held July 7, 1 sr.2 :
ll< ulved, That the party favoritism,
or crime, whichever it may bo calle l,
that seeks to turn the slaves of the
S uthern Stati :s loose, to overrun tin;
North and enter into competition with
the white laboring ma- -, thUi de
grading itn('• iii. ulting their manhood hy
placing them upon an cip.tality with
m groes in their occupation, is insulting
to (7ijr race and merits our most emphat
ic and unqualified condemnation.
K' . ohud, That litis i m v'erninont
of while men, and was established ex
clusively for the white race. That the
negro race are uotentith d to, and ought
not to be admitted to, politic il or social
equality with the while race.
Again at the 1>« n.ccratie State Cun
veiil ,;i, belt! at Harii-bui Mareb ft,
18tj(5, after the negroes wt i declared
free men, the Democrats ui miuioubly
resolved ;
That the white race is alone en
titled to control the g jver uncut of the !
Republic, and we are unwill ag to grant
ih :'t'i <-s the right to vote.
Then, two months aficr t'.i p -age
of the Repui'lican Uw, auoilit r Demo
cratic State Coiiv ntion agai i put itn.df
on ia cord.
That, each Statu having ut iler the
Constitution the exelu-ive i ;hl I'i pre
scribe Ihe qualili aiions ol its own
electors, we proclaim a- a ■ airpation
and an outrage the cstnbl inncnt of
negro htilirage in any of the S. ■ !> y
the coercive exercise of Federal power,
and we shall rcsint to the list re-.irt
the threatened measures of i m leaders
of the Republican party to i uii-rfinvj bj'
i cts of Congress with the •■!< cti. <j
liunchi.-e in the Slate; ol Penunj Ivannt.
Again the wrath of a Democratic
State Convention boil, 1 over on Map h
5, Isiis, and the follow.ng r. U.u.i ~i
Wits passed :
Itesuln-il, Thatt ''l! pub' -a ; arty

Pack's Bad Boy.
If it ba true that Mr. Howells and
Mr. ' Mark Twain"—a strange eon
j Miction —have undertakeu the j• ?nt
authorship of a work on Americas hu
mor, they cannot prop-.-.-y omit, in
th'-ir survey of thi v ;t sui..- ct, some
consideration of "Peek's Hid Hoy."
A good many of our readers may
never have heard of this particular
bad l)')v, bat he is of considerable in-
I iciest as a type because be represents
s-ime of the worst tendencies of our
newspaper humor, ami some, perhaps,
of American life. "Pi ck's Bad Boy"
is the creation of a Milwaukee writer
by the name of Peck, who found him
.-o successful with certain classes of
readers a.- a newspaper character that
he has made two books about him.
These are paid to have u sale 011
railroad trains and elsewhere, aud are
distressing examples of the crim s
against g ■■ -1 t iste and decency that are
committed in the name of American
humor. The humor of these books
lies in a single theme—the practical
jokes played by a boy upon his fath r ;
and upon this th re are many varia
tions. The I>. 1 1 Boy knows that his
father has bcea drinking har.l, iutro
duces him into the presence of three or
four Spitz dogs who have been dved
various colors, assures thom they are
white, and convinces him that he has
rleiirum tremens. This exquisitely
humorous episode occupies a whole
a whole chapter. There are many
others equally delightful and amusing.
The boy is hideously precocious and
vulgar, full of slang t:nd profanity, and
a, ready with ieers at churchi aud
Sunday schools he is with jokes at
his father's drunken habits. In a
word, he is a m >st disgusting little
animal, and the fact that such books
have a ready sale is in itself a curious
feature of American life, and not a
pleasing one.
We hope the newspaper humorists
won't fly at us when we-ay that Peck's
Bad fl >y represents some of the ten
dencies that are found ii two much of
the humorous writings nowadays. We j
rcc.-il nothing else so strangely vulgar
as this, Hole- it is Mr. "Mark Twain's"' j
own deiiuaielv humorous account of the j
mi. uuderfci audi rig occasioned by a box !
containing ft Limburgerfcbeeee being!
placed in the same car with 11 corp-e i
on its way to the grave. But in its
habitual m; eking at all subjects t'nat
are worthy of r> vcrential treatment—
religion, the home, the parental rela
t .n- I'ml/ Bad Bov only int nsili.-s
uuulilies which are too often s en in
i.tl.s-r nev.v.puper humorist,; of the el iss
that has grown so 1 >rge in the west
and south. Mmy of them, it is true,
are .-,ue .. ,-ful, even amid the keen com
petitions of their voik, in keeping
within the bounds of good taste, and
now and then some of them have pro
duced matt, r, to perish in a day, which,
if it had appe ired in some more availa
ble form, might have taken a pet'iua- J
in-iil place iu literature. But the Bail i
Boy might serve 113 a warning to some,
just as tiie h pele. s drunkard is a suffi
cient example to the genteel tippler.
A little more delicacy in dealing with
domestic aud religious subj< cts would
r.ii. e the general level of newspaper
humor, which is us much of a dis
tinctive development us the American
newspaper itself.
We hope, too, it will not seem like
too much of an exaggeration, if we say
that Peck'ri Bad Boy represents some
of the unfortunate tendencies of Amer
ican life. He represents the lawless j
impertinence "I' youth, the lack of dif
ference for age and for parents, that so
oft< :j strike foreigners unp! asantly iu
American children. There never was
t-ucli ii boy as this one, of course ; but it
is impossible to avoid the uncomfortn
bio reflection that, like all caricatures,
this one, gross as it is, has some foun
dation in fact.

Faith and Truth.
(Prepared for the Citizbh by Mrs.
C. .M. Eduiondson, Prospect, Pa )
O! for a f ".it'n that will not shrink,
Though prest by many a foe ;
Tli.it will not treiub c on the brink
Of poverty or woe.
That will not murmur nor complain
Beneath the chastening rod;
But in the hour of grief or pain
Can lead upon its tiod.
I A luiiii that shines more bright and clear
When tempest.? rage without;
Tiiat when in danger knows no fear,
In darkness fe-.ls no doubt.
That bearj unmoved the world's dread
fro vn,
Xor h >■ is its scornful smile;
That sin's wild ocean cannot drown,
Nor Satan's arts beguile.
A faith that heeds the narrow way
Till Joe's last hour is tied,
And with a pare and heavenly ray
Lights up a dying bed.
TRUTH.
T ruth, gl-irionstru h, of heavenly birth, and fair
hi simple majesty array'd is there;
Her l iL'ht hand holds the faithful mirror clear,
Toe world's false mask she trample* down with
scoru,
Ad irned the m .-t when she would least adorn.
So wiiat by her is thought orsaid or done,
Apjiear-ciii.-pieuous as the noonday sun;
Truth is the image of our God above,
That bhinet reflected in his sea of Iota;
Ail bail, bic'-ed truth, t.iou dany.iter of tiie
Bel _ r n thou oil earth and bid earth's ,ons arise;
Hid virtue lea l, and justice Imid the loale,
For thou ait luiyiity an I will soon prevail.
Truth, iii art evangelical sense, is all
important. It alone will give charac
ter to an individual more than all other
qualities put together. It is of itself a
rich inheritance of more worth than
mines of silver and gold, il is more
than the highest titles con
ferred by princes. As the mirror re
flects objects that p t <s before it as they
are, without addition, alteration or dim
inu .ion, so truth presents every thing
just as it is It is from the Holy Bible
that we desire those principles which
should regulate our conduct, th*.; sourc.!
of unadulterated truth to mankind,
liveryboily loves to be resp eted, but
an itidividual to be love 1 and respected
must be known. \\ r e only can be
known who speak the truth from our
hearts, and act the truth in our lives.
We may guess at others but as we do
not know; we cannot respect ti. in, for
iik<- rate., they oftentimes sail under
false col irs. Truth is glorious wher
ever found ; our Lord and Master com
mands us to buy the truth and sell it
not 6;>; ak ye every man the truth to
iiis neighbor; execute the jutlgm mt of
truth. Truth is the glory of youth and
the <i'adc..i of the ag. !. But truth is
essent 1 to happ'-iess, both in this
world aid also in the in xt. L >rd, who
ill dwell in Thv holy hill? lie that

Daniel the wis> men were ordered by
the king to declare what was the

The Liquor Traffic.
The extent and expense of the liquor
traffic in Great Britain, the United
States and Canada is enormous. About ;
one-seventh of the grain of Great
Britain is wasted ou this traffic, when i
when thousands of people are on the j
verge of starvation ami living in ab- j
ject poverty. In the United Kingdom j
54,(559,000 bushels of grain are dc-,
strayed yearly to make beer. 100,-
000,000 bushels of grain are annually |
di'stroyt lin the Anglo-Saxon world, j
which would give two barrels of flour j
to every family in England, the |
United States and Canada during the j
year. Dunns* the last seven years the i
large total has been spent of i!9S7,- j
000,000, <>r 1'2,000,000,000 more than j
the national debt of Great Britain. |
And this was not all, for it cost at;
least 1100,000,000 more to pay for t lie |
mischief that it caused. That gave a!
cost of £211,000,000, or about §1 200,-
000,000 yearly for their drink bill ! It
said that there are about 200,000 !
[daces in Great Britain where liquor is ;
sold, and these are probably doing
more to hinder («< I's cause than the |
10,000 ministers of religion can do to \
advance i;. As the result, mainly of
intemperance, they have nearly 3,000,-1
000 applying yearly for parish relief j
in that wealthy country; 85,000 in- j
mates in their asylums; (50,000 con* I
vieted of crime; at least 250,000 va-j
grants roaming aboat the country ;;
and about 1-0,000 brought annually :
to a premature grave. And these ■
liquor shops are :■ am tinned by law to i
h ; I away the people from God, from !
happiue.-s and heaven. Thus the j
liquor traffic of Great Britain costs i
as much as would support (500,000 j
missionaries at $1,200 a year; 500,- |
000 schoolmasters at $500; build I
."•,000 churches at £10,000; .">,OOO j
- -huolhouses at -1,000; would give to j
the world 200,000,000 of Bibles at!
twenty-five cents each; and 500,000,-
000 of tracts at $1 per 100; would
give 100,000 widows $ 100 a year ; and
2 10,000 poor families SSO a year. In j
short, would provide a machinery that
voiild evangelize the world in a short
time, or pay off the national debt in
four years.
In the United Slates there are 17.',-
000 places where intoxicating liquor
was sold, involving a direct outlay and
waste of not Ithan $700,000,000, and
an indirect loss to the country, by
crime, pauperi in, etc., of $700,000,000
more; and this results in the destruc
tion of 100,000 lives yearly In tho
State of Maine, before prohibition,
tl iiie w. s one drunkard for every lifty
live of the population, and one million j
gallons ol spirits were distilled annu
ally, while the liquor bill amounted to
§10,000,000. Since prohibition there
is not a distillery or brewery in the
State, t he recent sale of liquor amount
ing to the inero fraction of the former
quantity sold; whereas the death rate
bad been reduced to one in .'SOO of her
population.
In 1 there were in operation in
the I'nited States !{,210 distilleries.
These consumed .51,291,1 'SO bushels of
grain, with an aggregate production
of I I 7,728,150 gallons of proof spirits.
Fur the fiscal year ending 30th Juno,
1 SSI, the total amoulit ol revenue to
the national treasury from distilled
spirits was $157,153,7718.']; for the
same period tho t )tul revenue Iroin fer
mented liquors amounted to §13,700,-
211.20. The beer production lor the
* ar endi ;r oOti. June wa 11,111 1,028
hu.dieis, or at thirty-one gallons per
I 11i11-1, the enormous aggregate of
-131,(5 11 si;s v illons. A t.rcwer's au
thority gives the number of breweries
at 2, :;o, and e. !iniates that there are
I, lis 1,070 acres of land under cultiva-j
ti■ >ii t' r barley ami hops, ll sown i
with wheat, at thirty I ushels per acre,
this land would provide 50,-I5(>,000
bu In i , or al> nt oiu 1 li i <h< 1 for evt ry
man, woman and eh I 1 in the Fnitcd
States. 11 has been declared ou au
thority ol an official census that the
liquor traffic during the last ten years
has .-en 100,000 children to the poor
hou 's in the United St it< ; has e.im
mitted at lea. I 150,000 to prisons and
workhouses; has made at leant 10,000
insane; has determine d at >< a t j 000'
suicides; has caused the loss, by fire
jor violence, of §10,000,000 worth of
| property: and has made 200,000 wid
and 1,000,000 orphans. The loss to
the nation, directly and indircc'ly,
through liquor, is something Ike
I §1,400,000,000 a vcar.
The quantity or spirits and milt
, liquor made or imported into the Do
minion of Canada in ISS2 was 17,733,-
| 934 gallons, or nearly four gallons for
every man, woman and child in the
Dominion. The liquor traffic is esti
mated to cost Canada $43,500,000
annually.— Canada Record.
The Brie—A-Brac Queen.
From (he New York Journal.
A woman of wealth and fashion to
j be reduced to the level of saleslady in
a bric-a-brac bazaar is the position to
which Mrs. Herbert A. Aycr has
been subjected.
'Who is that female ?' asked a mat
ronly person attired in silks and jew
elry sufficient to more than burden two
of her proportions as she referred with
an ill-assumed air of indifference to
Mrs. Aver in Sypher & Co. 's, at No.
j 741 Broadway.
'The wife of a man who failed for
$2,000,000 in Chicago last winter,' re
plied the clerk to whom the question
had been addressed. 'A woman who
iias been presented at the Courts of
St. James aud Italy. A woman who
iias traveled the world over; who can
converse fluently in any of the modern
languages; who was the leader in
fashion on the Northside of Chicago
and who was famed for giving the
best dinners in the Western Metro
polis.'
'Oh, dear; how badlv she must
feel, especially at .being cut by aIL her
old friends! I'm glad I didn't know
her.' continued the matronly person,
who was out apparently to exhibit her
wardrobe.
'Her friends have not deserted her,
my dear madam,' returned the clerk ;
'if they had she probably would not be
holding her position here. She was
once one of our largest customers, hav
ing purchased at different times no less
than £IO,OOO worth of curios and
antiques.'
Happening to overhear the above
conversation a reporter sought Mrs.
Aycr. She is haudsome of face and
figure. Her complexion is fair and
rosy, her features refined and her hair
a medium blonde, while h<-r large blue
eyes bespeak spirit, intelligence and
kindliness.
'Will you come into my littlo sanc
tum ?' taid Mrs. Aycr, and she led tho
way to a little corner in the great es
tablishment, where, surrounded by
knightly armor, grim instruments of
ancient warfare and furniture of mod
ern ago, she she seated herself at a
mahogany desk and began to talk.
'lt is pretty hard for a woman of
fashion who for 15 years never break
fasted out of her room to be obliged to
work for her bread and butter, arising
every morning at (5 o'clock,' said Mrs.
Aver.
'Mrs. A ver, where is your home in
New York?'
'i brought all my furniture and tho
remnants of my collections from Chic
ago and furnished the house Xo. 120
West Thirteenth street, but I am now
stopping at the Colonnade. Mrs.
Langtry has renty my bouse. She
went through it once and yvus satisfied.
Don't think im egotistic when I repeat
that she said it was the most elegantly
furnished house she had been in while
in America. 1 went out like a western
gale of wind and she came in like a
summer breeze ; and now I'm looking
lor a Hut or some apartments.'
'What induced you go Into tho bric
a brae business, Mrs. Ayer?'
'1 never applied for a position, it be
ing so well known that 1 was a con
noisseur in that line that several large
firms offered me an interest to come
with them. It was while consulting
Mr. Cypher as to which of two offers
1 should accept that he told mo to ac
cept neither, but to come with him.
1 am to travel through Kurope to make
purchases, and I am allowed so many
other privileges that I hope I shall
leel quite contented. Why, before I
was here an hour I had sold SI,OOO
worth of goods.'
'Were you ever snubbed by any of
your old friuds ?' was asked Mrs.
Aycr.
'Yes, once. A parvenu, who is tho
niece of a well-known woman of New
York society, came in, and speaking
almost, inaudibly, gave mo her hand
listlessly and then withdtew. Two
\ ears ago she was crazy to make my
acquaint ance.'
'Are your feelings hurt by . uch treat
ment J" asked the reporter.
'Yes, indeed. For the first week,
when people came in and treated mo
the same as they would their mail,
I was overcome. livery night 1 we it
home and wept.'
'Do you wish to speak of your family
affairs, Mrs. Ayer!"
'My father was tho 'eighth white
voter' of Chicago, and tnv undo Gor
don S. Hubbard, is now the oldest set
tler there. I was married to my hus
band, who is some years my senior,
when very young, and I have two
daughters whom lam educating. Mv
husband is uow iu California, looking
after what remains of his financial
wreck.'
