TO BUSINESS MEN.
A
A good advertisement in a good paper
is the best of all salesmen. It is a sales-
D
lhan who never sleeps, and is never weary;
who goes alter business early or late; who
V
accosts the merchant in his store, the
scholar in his study, the lawyer in hisotllce
E
the lady in her home, the traveler in the
cars or boat; a salesman whom no purchas
er can avoid; who can he in a thousand
places at once, and speak to thousands of
T
people daily, saying to each one the best
thine in the best manner. A good adver-
I
ment insures a business connection on the
most permanent and and independent basis,
S
and is, in a certain sense, a guarantee to the
customer of fair and moderate prices. Ex
perience has shown that the dealer whose
stock has obtained a public celebrity is not
N
only enabled to sell, but is forced to sell at
reasonable rates, and to furnish a good ar-
G
tide. A dealer can make no better invest
ment than in advertising in a live paper.

A Prohibition Ticket.
A prohibition tit ket of state officers
has been put in the tield, and some
counties, we learn have also nominat
ed prohibition tickets. There is a ru
meranl a whisper, something like
that which Sanacharib heard when he
raised the siege of Jerusalum, that
Cecil county temperance men may
nominate a prohibition ticket, before
the ides of November. We believe it
may be safely set down that our candi
dates for the legislature are going in
for “High License.” “The dog returns
to his vomit and the washed sow to
wallowing in the mire.” If this step
is taken backward it will require years
to regain the lo>t ground. If temper
ante men will slumber and s eep, they
may rest assured that the rum party
will improve every hour. We believe
they can count on three papers in the
count.y that will go into the fight if it
is once organized, with no uncertain
sound.
The yarns that are told by the rum
party about prohibition in Maine, in
Kansas, in lowa and other places being
a failure, arc all weak inventions of
the enemy Statistics disprove them
in every instance. We are rather sur
prised that so many of our tender-foot
ed temperance foik are imposed upon,
and echo these assertions of the rum
party.
The politicians and the grog party
are running this campaign, and the
candidates know it and are afraid to
open their mouths. If it is allowed to
go by default, a liquor louby will be in
Annapolis next winter, claiming that
the election this fall was in the interest
of High License, and they will demand
the repeal of the local option law abso
lutely. and the enactment of a high licence
law in its stead. And again the cut
glass decanters wi 1 be placed in its old
and honored position before the reflect
ing mirror, and the business of mak
ing drunkards in a gentle way will go
on again ; but the little brown jug will
hold its place under the hay stack and
fence corner as of old, never the less.
Kidney Disease.
Mr. H. Waram, member of City
Council, oo dbury, N. J., says : “I was
a victim of the worst form of kidney
disease. A short trial of Aromavvu j
completely cured me.” Price 25 and 75
ot.s. Sold by Dr- L. R. Kirk, Rising

Officers as Police.
One of tiie anomalies of our civiliza
tion and hdrit of government we say
“habit.” for the peculiar custom has
been handed down to us —is the posi
tion officers h. id as conservators of the
peace, aml protectors of society. It
would seem that they are selected for,
and the duty a-signed to them, of keep
ing the peace and taking care that the
laws which are for the protection of so
ciety, are carefully observed. That it
is their duty to he on guard constantly
and when they see any uttemptut vio.
lation of law, they warn the off tiding
party of,his erroriand if persisted in fur
ther, to take measures to have the law
respected, in order that society shall
not suffer. Buttheverv reverse seems
to be the rule, and every officer uppears
to consider it his duty to stand idly by
till some private citizen makes formal
complaint. Under this construction of
duty our police branch of government
officers is of little or no use. The pri
vate citizen who complains of wrong
might as well serve the writs and pro
ceed as the agent in the hands of the
judge, to give effect to the law. This
class of officers seldom see any violators
of law. They report periodically to the
grand juries that all is serene and they
know of no offence against the peace
and order of society, etc. The fact is
that in a great me isure, it is litt’e Lett* r
loan a farce, ’i tie office implies duty
and responsibility, but ninety nine out
of a hundred officers shirk both.
