STATE PROHIBITION PARTY.

The following are the nominations of the
state temperance party, new organization
affected last week at Bloomington: Fol-
congressman at large, John V. Farwell, o.
Chicago: for state treasurer, K. j. Ham
mond, of Will county; for superintendent Of
public instruction, Prot. D. Wilkins, of Nc
Lean; for penitentiary com missnners, J. NJ.
Smith, of DsWitt, and DR.. F. S. Simson, of
Green. The temperance convention chris
tened the new party the Prohibition Party,
and its fundamental principle is tina, the
manufacture, sale and use of intoxicating
liquors shall beIprohibited.
This party is the entering wedge that
must split and destroy the present radical
party. 1t will not effect the democratic
party for the reason that it always ignors all
imprac.icable and visionary issues. The ne "
party if every man in the radical party would
vote tor his honest conventions, could pro-
badly poll seventy-fve thousand votes, but
they will not show more than one fifth that
number, for most of the radicals would pre-
~" :" h"'P oiouR EhUlcbil5m tn6n tDelr own
convictions OF right. The sentiment OF
opposition to the manufacture, sale and use
OF intoxicating liquors is one that prevsdes
all the churches, and the votes of these
churches will eventually be cast in solid
phalanx with the Prohibisary party. Blu.
not when it is going to interfere with the
continuance of the radical party in power.
For the same reason they dare not array
themselves in opposition to the German
vote that believes in free thinking and Sun
day amusements. Some DAYS ago we took
occasion to refer to the delicate hint the
Union gave to Brother Rhea of the Method
ist Church, of this city, not to disturb the
Germans on their Turner organization |
Brother Rhes mistook our intention and |
accused US of trying to force him into maxi
ing war upon the Germans to drive them
out OF the radical party. No such thing.
de can save them from damnation after |
election just as well as now. And these !
honest and bold advocates of prohibition |
can go on with their party just as we'll after
the fall election. We hope none of them
will be forced into anything by what demo
cratic papers may say. The democracy
want none but willing and honest votes,

rocket represents six words and an order containing
three hundred words can thus be conveyed by fifty

The Paris Reyeil has long description of terrible
engine of destruction, which, it says, is Of the power
of fifty mitrailleuses. 1t states that pours out
tnual of bullets to the distance of about 600
yards without noise fire, smoke, and be hauled
about as easily ordinary steam fire engine. At
the same time, it is incomparaby cheaper than engines
using powder for while it can shoot off 500 900 bull
lets for IS francs the number shot off with pow
der would cost 60OO francs. The propellng power is
created by generation of gases. 1t is claimed that
with such machine three men destroy an entire
regiment in few minutes.
