The petition which is being circulat
ed in Chicago, asking that the three
anarchists who were not hung may be
pardoned and freed from prison might
appropriately be signed by all brewers,
whiskey distillers and rumsellers. It
is the business of these to let loose
devils to prey upon society.
"We have the authority of America,
the new and able Chicago weekly, for
the statement that scarcely one re
spectable woman in a hundred would
use tjhe ballot if placed in her hands.
Now if America tells the truth, and fig
ures don't lie, the following must be a
correct calculation. In the recent
election in Kansas, 20,000 respectable
women voted. According to America,
this number represents one out of
every hundred of the women of proper
age to vote. 20,000 multiplied by 100
gives 2,000,000, the number of adult
women in Kansas. Supposing the
number of men voters to be equal (the
census report makes it greater we be
lieve), we have 4,000,000 adults in the
above named state. Adding to this
number 10,000,000 children (the usual
proportion) and we have as the total
population of Kansas 14,000,000,
more than the combined population of
New York and Pennsylvania!
The election in Manly on the ques
tion of license or no license, which is
to take place on the first Monday in
June, should interest every lover of
good morals, law and order. The
passage of a law prohibiting the sale
of liquor will do more for the up
building, of this section of Moore
county than anything that we can
imagine or desire. Whiskey is the
great enemy which spoils our homes
and degrades our churches, checks the
growth of our towns, throttles every
decent, industry, makes shanties wnere
there ( should be handsome houses
bloated and besotted guzzlers of men
who should be active and alert, heart
broken women and neglected children
where there should be happy homes,
full of smiling faces. Fight this
enemy then! Drive him from the
land, make it impossible for the rum
seller to exist in our midst. Vote at
this election and sec that your friends
and neighbors vote. You may be
certain that the friends of whiskey .
will be alert and active in ihe interests
of their cause. There must be still
greater alertness and activity on the
part of the friends of temperance. '

The Judgment.
The harvest is a judgment on the
sowing. Every finished work is a
judgment on the way it has been done .
Look where we will, we find the indi
cation of this mighty fact, not as
something that works by fits and starts,
butthatisworking constantly--a"pow-
er that makes for righteousness, " a
judgment that goes silently, inexor-
ably on, in every outcoming of man's
activity, and that surely, is not less
certain in the growth and becoming of
man's life itself !
"In a great part of life, we can see
Judgment. A eat deal of the moral
seauence of conduct comes right out
into view. For. this is God's world.
and body and soul, material and spirit-
ualj man's character and man's future
are1 strangely interwoven and linked
tof?ether
But now, see! all this continual,
unceasing working-out of judgment,
and the visibility of-a great deal of it,
does not affect this fact: that a great
deal of the iude-ment is not at once vis-
ible, is not at once known, only comes
visibly out in some "day of the revela
tion of judgment," It is so even in
material thingsj it is still more so in
lives. A farmer sows poor seed, and
neglects his hoeing and weeding into
the bargain. The judgment
goes
working on every hour; but it is only

the revelation of the judgment comes
to him. Market-day is the judgment
day in that thing. You build your
wall out of the perpendicular, or with
bad mortar. Probably it is "giving"
all the time. Judgment is going slow- search, her mother reached the lamV

"Oh, it is a good enough wall!" Some
day it falls, that is the judgment-day!
A young man is idle and careless at
his work, not very bad, but not up to
the mark. He does not "take hold,"
barely earns his salary. hardly that.
Some day a pinch comes, or a change:
trade is bad, he is the first to go; or
there is an opportunity for some one
to rise, but he cannot have it! That
the iudcrment-dav to him. Here is
man trading on bad principles: proba
bly an accountant could read his fate
in almost every item of business, every
entry in his books. Some day the
crash comes. That is the "judgment-
day' V to him, and yet in reality it

Piano Pounding.
I don't like your chopped music,
any way! That woman she had
more sense in her little finger than
forty musical societies Florence
Nightingale, says that the music yo;i
pour out is good for sick folks, and
the music you pound out isn't. Not
that, exactly, but something like it.
I have been to hear some music pound
ing. It was a young woman, with a
many white muslin flounces round h rr
as the planet Saturn has rings, that
did it. Sbe gave the music-stool a
turn - or two, and fluffed down on it
like a whirl of soap-suds in a hand-
basin. Then she pulled up her cuffs
as if she was going to fight . for the
champion's belt. Then she worked
her wrists and her hands to limber
'em,-1 suppose and spread out her
fingers till they looked as if they vvould
Ptty much cover the keys from the
growling end to the little squeaky one.
Then these two hands of her3 made a
3umP at the keys as if they were a
couple of tigers coming down on a
nock of tolack and white sheep, and
the piano gave a great howl as if its

Then another jump and another howl,
as if the Pno had w taUs and you
