Platfobm planks or legislative enact
ment cannot make clean politics. The
way to prevent unscrupulous men from con
trolling elections by the n»e of money, i*
for the intelligent, conscientious men to
take nn active and a watchful interest in
these n.atters themselves, and bury in
ignominious oblivion both briber and
boodkr. If men were positively and ag
g«.-aively honest instead of only negativs
ly so, they would see to it diligently that
dishonest political methods did not suc
ceed, and would be always eagerly in
que?' of the scalp of the candidate who un
dertook to purchase the suffrage of his fel
low citizens.
Political Notes.
It is sail thit, Armstrong coaaty will
dispute Butler county's claim to the
State Senatorship next year, but this
county should put up a good man for the
office and hang to him. Our State Senate
should be the bulwark state govern
ment, instead of being a menace to it, as
it is at present on account of the number
of jobbing politicans in it,
A dispstch from New Castle, dated
Monday, says:
It is now stated on good authorify that
Col. Alber*. Clark, of New Wilmirgton,
will ba a candidate next spring for the
Republican nomination in this county for
Confess, opposing Thomas W. Phillips,
the present Congressman from this district,
and whose home is in this city. Like
Mr. Phsllips, Col. Clark has immense oil
in Butler oounty and is consider
ed a wealthy man. He was national com
mander of the Union Veteran L9gion.
IT i* not unusual for leading members f
of any pi ofession to criticise severely the t
rank and file, and it is therefore not as- t
tonishing to find Justice Brewer asserting
in his sddrees before the Bar Association, t
the other day, that "It would be a blessing <
to the profession and to the community as J
well if some Noachian deluge would en- ,
gulf half of those who have a lioense to i
practice." No doubt there are plenty ot <
incompetent lawyer* an J too many disrep- .
utable ones; but the legal profession is
not singular in this regard. All trades,
Aliings and prolessions have their black
■beep and a flood big enough to engulf i
them all must necessari'y be of Noachian 1
dimensions. But, after all, the race man
ages to progress notwithstanding its
duncee. its quacks and its scalawag?; and
as these are permitted to live and multiply
we may reasonably conclude that they
have their uses in the world. Perhaps
they arc meant to perfect the patience and
stimulate the chartiable sentiments ot wise
men l ! ke Justice Brewer.
LOUISVILLE.
Last Friday afternoon there wai a great
barbecue in Wilder park. The least con
*i«ted of 100,000 pound* of meat, 12,000
gallons of bnrgoo, a peculiar Southern
soup, and 25,000 loaves of bread. There
were 250 cooks and 500 waiters, under the
direction of Gun Janbert, the farnout bur
goo mixer. To prepare the 12,000 gallons
of this extraordinary conoootion it required
100 pounds of pepper, 4,00# pounds of beef,
150 'iaebels of tomatoes, 75 doxen chickens.
50 bushels of onions, 4,500 ears of corn,
•nd 15 bushels oi salt. Thirty thousand
plates, auJ as many water cups enabled
that number of people to be regaled at a
sitting.
The exeda« of visitors was on in earn
est *hat day, but ten* of thousands who
intended going to Chattanooga vid Chick
amauga remained over until Saturday and
Sunday. In every respect the encamp
ment was au overwhelming success.
Tu.i next encampment i* to be held at

Tim growth ol the population of Canada
between the years 1881 and 1801 was 500,-
000. In the same period it received 800,-
000 immigrant* from Enrope and lost 900,-
000 by emigration to the United States.
At this rate a Greater Canada will soon be
found under the stars and stripes
THK cup for which the yachting contest
oil Sew York city took place last week
was originally the property of the Koyal
Y»obt Squadron of Great Britain. In
May, 1851, at the time of the first World's
Kair in iiondm, the cnp, valued at 100
pounds, was offered as a trophy open to
the yact !s of all nalions. In August of
that ye*r the Amerioan yacht America
distanced the whole English fleet of 15
boats in sail in e round the Isle or Wight,
an.l trom that day to this "the America's
cap," «s the prize is called, has remained
in this country. But our English cousins
have made no less than ten attempts to
win it back; but never yet have tbey been
able to send across a boat fast enough to
beat their Yankee competitor. Whether
they will succeed this year remains to be
seen; but American yacbtmen seem to be
strong in tbo faith that thev will not.

net compelled to accept charity patients
when they have no room, and iu fact are
not compelled to receive tbem at all. The
reioedy, says the opinion, when » hospital

There has been of late much talk about
our present license laws: what rights ui.d
privilege.) are granted to those having a
license, anu tho punishments oi those who
violate the law either having or not having
a license. Time or space will not allow
me to quote much from the law. Section
15 says in pirt, Any person who shall
hereafter lie convicted of selling or olfer
ng for sale, any vinous, spirituous, malt
or brewed liquors, or any admixture there
of, without a license, shall be sentenced to
pay a fine ot uot less than SOOO nor more
than $5,000 a.id undergo an imprisonment
in the county jtil of not le.'s than three
mouths nor more than twelve months.
Any person having license who shall h.
convicted of violating any of the provisions
of the license laws .hall bo subjected to a
fine ol not less thau SIOO nor more than
SSOO. So you see if you want to violate
the license law it is cheaper tc take out a
license first.
Sec. 17, iu part »ays, that it shall not be
lawful for any person with or without •»
licence t» furnish by sale, gift or otherwise
to any person, any Hpiritoua, virions, malt
or biewed liquors, on any day upon which
elctions arc now or herea'ter may be re
quired to be held , nor on Sunday, nor at
any time to a n.iuor or a person J ol
known intemperate liabits. or a person
visibly affected by intoxicating drink,
either for his or her use, 01 lor the use ol
any other person. This section thus tar is
all right but we think it should require
landlord* to wear glares of gnfflcient
magnifying power to enable them to HOD
thai men are affected before they become
beaut I v drunk.

SURPRISED !
SURPRISED!
When we advertise that we are the largest house, in our line, in the State,
main who have never been here think we are "blowing" but when they come in
the following are the expressions:—"l am surprised! I read your advertisement but
did not think you had a place like this. I knew you sold
Wagons, Buggies and Carts,
but did not know that you carried such a stock of everything. I did not know that
you employed so many HarneM makers. I did not know that you had so much
machinery. That engine that runs vour harness machines, is the slickest thing I
ever saw. I did not know you sold' Trunks, Buggy Tops, Wheels and Springs.
Cushions and I.a/y Backs separate front the buggy.
Why you have more money invested in Blankets aud Robes alone than would
buy my farm. No wonder you can sell cheap buying in such large quantities.
YOUR ADVERTISEMENT IS NO LIE.
1 thought it was. lam glad that 1 came in and now I know where to get anything
1 want alK)ut my Wagon, Buggy or Harness, from the very finest vehicle to an axle
washer." _ .... • ~r.
The next customer will be equally as much surprised when he comes 111. We
will tell of him later. YOURS ETC.
