The Elections Yesterday.
The elections in thirteen states yester
day, are not as satisfactory as they
might be. Virginia goes Democratic by
forty thousand, but‘the Republicans
carry New York by almost as large a
majority. McKinley carries Ohio by
50,000 and two thirds of both branches
of the Legislature are Republican. The
election in Massachusetts was an unex
pected land slide, the Republicans
carrying the Bay state by 30,000. New
Jersey is in doubt, but it is thought the
state has gone Democratic. The powers
that be, attribute the result of yesterday
to the business depression of the past
several months.

A Story With a Moral.
Ten years ago I lived in a town in
Georgia; On returning borne one night,
I saw a little girl leave my door, and I
asked my wife who she was. She said
Mrs. Harris had sent her after their
newspaper, which my wife had borrow
ed. As we sat down to tea, my wife
said.to me by name:
“I wish you would subscribe for the
newspaper; it is so much comfort to me
when you are away from home.”
“I would like to do so,” said I, “but
you know I owe a payment on the house
and lot It will be all I can do to meet
it.”
She replied: “If you will take this
paper I will sew for the pay for it.”
I subscribed for the paper; it came in
due time. While resting one noon, and
looking over it, I saw an advertisement
of the county commissioners to let a
bridge that was to be built. I put in a
bid for the bridge, and the job was
awarded to me, on which I cleared $300,
which enabled me to pay for my house
and lot easily and for the newspaper. If
I had not subscribed for the newspaper
I should have known nothing about the
contract, and could not have met my
payment on the house and lot A man
never loses anything by taking his home

Liquor and Labor,
BY JOnN LLOYD THOMAS.
Terence V. Powderly said in Bos
ton, June 11, 1887:
The greatest carse that labor has
to contend -with to-day we find in its
own home, in its own grasp; the
worst weapon that is wielded against
labor to-day is held by the strong
right hand of labor itself, and when
that weapon is raised to strike the
blow, it is raised in the shape of a
glass that carries with it the rum
which drown’s man’s reason.”
The General Secretary of the
Knights of Labor said in 1879:
“The two deadliest foes of labor
are rum and ignorance.”
It is generally understood that the
above indictments only refer to the
demoralizing influence of the drink
on Ike drinker, but Mr. Powderly
has ably shown that he considers as
well the injurious effect of the traffic
on the non-drinking wage-worker.
The liquor-traffic is relentlessly
hostile to labor, in that it diminishes
the opportunities to work for bread,'
and steals the bread for which work
has been done.—Greensburg (Ind.)

The Bible—Man’* Safeguard.
Who will say that the uncommon
beauty and marvelous English of the
Bible is not one of the greatest strong
holds against heresy in this country ? It
lives on the ear like music that can
never be forgotten. It is like the sound
of church bells. Its felicity is often
seen to be almost things rather than
mere words. It is'part of the national

THANKSGIVING DAY NAMED.
The President Fixe* Nov. 30 as the
Date in His Proclamation.
Washington, D. C., Nov. 3.—The
President to-day issued the following
Thanksgiving proclamation:
By the President of the United States
of America:
A PROCLAMATION.
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness and
mercy which have followed them since
their beginning as a nation, it is fitting
that one day in each year should be
especially devoted to the contemplation
of blessings we have received from the
hands of God, and to the grateful ac
knowledgement of his loving kindness.
Therefore, I, Grover Cleveland, Presi
dent of the United States, do hereby
designate and set apart Thursday, the
30th day of the present month of Novem
ber, as a day of thanksgiving and praise,
to be kept and observed by all the peo
ple of our land.
On that day let us forego our ordinary
work and employment and assemble in
our usual places of worship, where we
may recall all that God has done for us
and where from grateful hearts, our
united tribute of praise and song may
reach the throne of grace. Let the re
union of kindred and the social meeting
of friends lend cheer and enjoyment to
the duty, and let generous gifts of charity
for the relief of the poor and needy
prove the sincerity of our thanksgiving.
Grover Cleveland.
Bv the President
Walter Q. Gresham, Sec. of State.
Post-Office Etiquette.
The following rules laid down by the
Catlettsburg postmaster, appeared in the
Kentucky Democrat, of that place, and
it would be well for our citizens to more
closely observe them:
When you call at the office for your
mail and the postmaster hands it out,
ask him if that is al!.
If you ask for mail and he tells you
there is none, tell him there ought to
be, and go home and send the rest of
the family around to ask at different
times through the day.
Don’t bring youf mail to the office
untill the mail closes, then curse the
postmaster for not opening the mail bag
and putting your letter in.
When you want a stamp on your let
ter, tell the postmaster to put it on; if he
don’t lick it, lick him. In case you put
it on yourself, soak it in your month
long enough to remove the mucilage, it
will then stick until it is dry.
Be sure and ask the postmaster to
credit you for a stamp, if he has any ac
commodation about him he will do it.
If yon have a box stand and drum on
it until the postmaster hands out your
mail, it makes him feel good, especially
he is waiting on somebody else.
Shun Him.
There is one person that it wonld
do well for everybody to sbnn. They
come to you with a whisper, which
while it is- soft as a cooing dove has
the hiss of the serpent back of it*.
“Have you heard it? Oh, of course
you have. Haven’t you ? well really
now I do not wish to say anything
about it, hecause you might think
hard of me for telling and everybody
knows I don’t tell what my neighbor
is doing, because it’s so ranch like
scandal. But I couldn't help it, in
deed I couldn’t, I jnst peeped through
the keyhole and I saw her** etc., etc.
This kind or paul pry is the most
dangerous enemy that a community
can possibly harbor, they deal with
an invisible bat deadly sting and
leave a scar that can never Ite healed,
the wound is given with malice and
cruelty and only show the real
thoughts of the speaker.—Ex.
MR. H. L. IIINE DEAD*
A Brunswick Citizen Passes Away lit
Bridgeport Connecticut.
A telegram received by Mr. Clarence
Levy announces the death of Mr. H. L.
Hine in Bridgeport, Connecticut This
will be sad news for the Brunswick ref
ugees now in our midst. Mr. Hine has
been a citizen of Brunswick for the past
twenty-five years, and up to six months
ago has been in perfect health. In May
lie was the victim of that dreaded dis
ease, consumption, and since that time
has been a patient sufferer, deprived of
physical strength, and on the very verge
of death he has lingered for weeks. Sev
eral months ago his physicians recom
mended a change in climate and he with
his family removed to Connecticut, his
native state, hoping that the atmosphere
of his childhood home would prove ben
eficial to his wonted health, but in vain,
and yesterday at noon he paid the trib
ute after many years of usefulness Mr.
Hine was a thorough Christian gentle
man, being consistent member as well as
a vestryman in St. Marks Episcopal
church. We extend our sympathy to
the bereaved wife and daughter .who
survive him, and to relatives now in
Waycross.
