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.

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 paper.—Ex. 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.)

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 mind and the anchor of national seri ousness. The memory of the dead 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.
