ORDINARY people regard a man of a
certain force and inflexibility of char
acter as they" do a lion. Tlicy look at
him with a sort of wonder perhaps
they admire him ; but theyrll on no ac
count house with him. The lap-do < r.
who wags hi.s tail and licks the hand ,
cringes at the nod of eer.stranger , is
a much more accej.table companion to
them. Merkle.
KiARLYf01 \oungand middle aged
men in the city \\lio have heretofore
been taking a drink more or less fre
quently , have formed an organization
and pledged themselves that they will
not drink any intoxicating liquors dur
ing the next year. They have put np
§ 100 each , which is to be forfeited to
the association in case the signer breaks
his pledge. The list of signers wmild
astonish some people if it were publi > h-

Mil. SPARKS' latest pcculiai' decision
in the land grant business is to the ef
fect that a road that has never been
built and never will be built is entitled
to the lands set aside for its ' indem
nity" in the original granting act that
is , entitled enough to prevent a road
that has been builfc from getting lands
that it has earned. The road that is
not built is entitled to hinds the road
that is builfc is not. Mr. Sparks has a
great head. Topics.
A SCHOOL director in Illinois is in
trouble because he took his shotgun and
started in to kill all the boys in the dis
trict. In fact he is in jail. But it is
to be hoped the case will be exhaust
ively gone into before he is punished.
There is a wonderfully strong possi-
Dility that he was fully justified in go
ing upon the warpath. There are few
uicn who have gono through life with
out feeling an insane desire to take a
shotgun or a circular saw and apply it
: o a gang of boys. Journal Topics.
EDITING a paper without a friendly
jxchange to suggest ideas and furnish
icws too cumbersome in detail for the
wires , is a dull business. For three days
the only resource of the Journal force
las been such papers as had not gono
the course of all exchanges and the field
of imagination. The latter source of
nspiration has never been cultivated to
my great extent in these precincts con
secrated to fact , and the result is a
dearth of the usual attractive collection
of newsy and interesting matter. But
this condition is doubtless over and is
not likely to occur again this winter.
Topics.
ONL of the questions that will soon
come up before the Kentucky Legisla
ture is that which is now receiving such
widespread attention in the south
prohibition. Twenty-eight counties in
the state have already declared in favor
of local option and at least are living
under a temperance lay in theory. The
method of declaration was that employ
ed in Georgia , where single communi
ties voted upon the subject at sepcrate
times and in a quiet way. It is not like
ly that the state of Kentucky , the head
and front of the whiske } ' distilling in
terests , will profit much by the experi
ence of Georgia , but it is morally cer
tain that only the most judicious liquor
policy can prevent the spread of the lo
cal option laws there. The violence of
any revolution is always in proportion
to the evils which it seeks to correct ,
and there is probably no other state in
the Union which the whiskey men have
dominated with a ruder hand than
Kentucky. These facts the Kentucky-
Legislature should consider. The tem
per of the people , while not favorable
to the entire abolition of the liquor
traffic , is in favor of the strictest license
laws possible. To defer the passage of
these is only to invite more radical meas
ures , which even whiskey rings ma } ' be
powerless to either dodge or repeal.
For several years Ciiainbeilain's Cough
Remedy has been prized for its speedy and
certain cures of croup. It is the favorite and
main reliance with thousands of mothers. It
will not only cure cronp but if freely u .cd as
soon as the first indication of the di.-ea5e ap
pears , that is as soon as thechild becomes the
least hoarse , it will prevent it , doing away
with all danger and anxiety. There is not
the least danger in giving the remedy freely ,
as it contains no injurious substance. Sold
