And here is where the man comes in. As far as his party can it has suggested ~and by various means--that he is ruining himself politically by his per- sistency. He is blind to all the sophistry of the race. He has made up his mind, after serious reflection, that the gambling on the race track is a great wrong that should be stop- ped, and he has penned his mandate accordingly. Suppose he does offend some peo- ple. Will be not please others? Did he not stamp his individuality on the state when he was thought of as a candidate for office ? Has he rot been making good all his promises ? Has he failed in any respect ? And what has commended him so much to the masses, that he has loomed up large- ly as a presidential possibility, but the fact that he has conviction upon public duty and a courage that no influence can daunt. Better to suffer defeat as the enemy 'of the gamblers, than gq to victory as their pet, idol or henchman. TRAITORS TO THE COUNTRY.

Almira Ann Preslar, the beloved wife of Preslar, peacefully passed away from the sorrows of earth to the joys of heaven at their home in Northbrook, in the eighty-fourth year of her age. She was born in Camden, joified the Methodist church at the age of fifteen and continued to be true to the church of her choice and faithful and loyal to, her Saviour and King till death. Her conduct was most consistent and her character an ideal to he top- ied and her passion for the salvation of the lost being the primary and basis of all her work. Her home was always open to the ministry and she did mach for the cause of God, and the writer regrets to think that her cheerful and helpful face will be seen no more on earth. In her home she was a queen. She was a model mo ther and she left the impress of "her life upon her family, who revere her memory. On Sunday, March Sth, as cheerful and hearty as ever, it was not until they met at family altar in the exercise of their morning devotions, and she read to them the first and second chapters of 1: Corinthians that her voice was nos ticed to change. When on her knees she dropped unconscious, saying : 'lI am very thankful this morning that 1 can look to Jesus for strength,' She never. rallied and on Wednesday, March 1th, without a struggle, her earthly tabernacle was dissolved and the living spirit took its departure to the building of God.
