ING, aged Sc years, 9mOnths and % days.
Thomas Ewing was born in Bath (nOw

Killison 1910, and emigrated to Ohio the
same year; settled in Huntington town.
ship, Gallia county, remained on the
same farm 81 years, and cleared over
100 acres of the same. He was early
trained to the use of firearms and the
huntsman's art, and known far and near
as an expert in each. When he came
here this was an almost untrodden will
derness-nO roads, mills or bridges, no
schoOi-hOuse or place of public worship.
The savory meat of the deer, the wild
turkey eIsa che bear, with meal pounded
in mortaz And baked on a board, served
as rough but wholesome fare for the
first few years of his married life. His
earnest toll and trusty rifle, furnished
abundance to meet the wants of himself
and family-seven girls and two boys
all of whom arrived at years of ma
turity.
He served ten years in succession as
Township Trustee, and nine years JUS
tice of the Peace. Always voted the
Whig ticket until the demise of that par
ty, since which he has been staunch
Republican. Becoming too old to labor
for his subsistence, and having lost the
partner of his youth, he, some years
ago, sold his farm and moved to Ewing
ton, where he died Il christians death
and awaits the resurrection of the just.
He was man of more than ordinary
brain, and retained, in a great measure,
the vigor of his intellect to the last.

ONE of the organs of the free whis-
XIV party, in Cincinnati, having in
sanely supposed that the women were
crushed, developes the further pro-
gramme of its friends in this manner,
to-wit:
1t is now time to declare war in
the same way against all the moul-
dering relics of former puritanical
times, until it will no longer occur to
our legislators to make petty laws for
the people about the observance of
the Sabbath, and their manner of
living. Whose business is it, if per
son plays billiards or ninepins on
Sunday? Why should it be wrong
on Sunday, and not on any other
day?
So the question is not simply the
lawful sale of whisky as beverage,
but with that is presented the per
manency and stability of the chris
tian civilization of the age, and of
the whole enlightened world. The
good people of the State and land
must give careful consideration to
these new issues, for they are aimed
at American Liberty, and will result
in its overthrow if permitted to be-
come the dominent idea of the coun-
try, as Sodom and Gomorrah were
overthrown for a similar departure
from the paths of virtue.

no expense will be spared in order to
make the wedding guests enjoy the
occasion. Prettier brides never wore

more worthy grooms never took Hy-

The world moves.

The Common Pleas Court at
Pittsburg, has declared crusading to
be not necessarily crime. The la
dies appealed their case from the
Mayors docket, and the Court or
dered the fines imposed to be return
ed. This action was based on the
ground that the record showed NO
violation of the law; that singing
and praying is not necessarily disor-
derly conduct, and that if it becomes
a nuisance, it should be tried by a
jury. The decision was greeted with
applause in the court-rooms.
It effectually checks the persecu-
ton. The Mayor will hardly impose
more fines and the crusade will pro-
ceed as before.

In the q. S. Senate, on Thursday,
the question of making the new Ter
ritory of Pembina came up for dis
cussion. Mr.. Sargent, of California,
offered an amendment giving women
the right of suffrage in the Territory
to be thus formed. This excited an
animated debate, and a much
stronger feeling was exhibited in ia
Yor of woman suffrage than was to
be expected. The amendment was
supported by Stewart, of Nevada,
Morton, of Indiana, Flanagan, of
Texas, Carpenter, of Wisconsin, and
Others. Mfr. Flanagan said he was a
new convert to the cause of woman
suffrage, and was made a convert by
the glorious efforts of the women's S
crusade against intemperance. Wo-
men, and women only, through AL
mighty God, could save this country
from the worst of all evils, intemper-
ance. Women could control the
country; men could not. They were
more directly interested in all ques-
tions of morality than men, and
from this time henceforth he intend
edto be ''woman's man." Laugh
ter. Mr.. Stewart said in ten years
from now there would not be man in
the Senate opposed to female suffrage.
On vote, however, the amendment
first and then the bill itself were lost.
The vote on the amendment stood 19
to 2f.

MANY TEMPERANCE MEN.
ANSWERED.

1st. The language in regard to the
separate clauses, is, if adopted, they
shall become part of this Constit"-
tion. Their validity, therefore, as
we understand it, depends upon the
adoption of the new Constitution.
I'd. There can be no 'local option"
under the license clause. The pow
er of the Legislature is confined to
licensing, land this it may or may
not do, to restricting the traffic, and
to compensating for injuries resulting
from the sale Such enactments as
the "Adair law" or even more strin-
gent and restrictive acts, would be
constitutional under this section.
Sd. The adoption Of the anti
license clause would give power to
prohibit. The present Constitution
does not. The power to prohibit, is,
threfore, a new power.

Mr.. EDITOR: Allow me space, in
behalf of fair dealing, to enter my
protest against making Councilman
MASON the scape-goat of the city
Council on the salary grab question.
l acknowledge he is guilty of receiv
ing pay in violation of law, but he is
no more guilty than those upon whose
testimony he was convicted. If there
is any crime in it, they were all part
ners. And l understand this system
of unlawful payment for services has
been practiced for some years-in-
deed, had its origin before MASON
became a member of the Council.
Now, if it is necessary that MASON
should be onsted in order to "purify
the Council" is it not just as neces-
sary, to that end, that his accomplices
should go out? Let the censure of
the public, and the law likewise, fall
on all alike. Let there be no dis
elimination. 1t is akin to criminal
to screen the high, and punish the
lowly. Because Mr.. MASON has a
dark skin, it is no reason why he
should suffer all the odium that is
attached to this misappropriation of
public funds. There are others equal
ly guilty with Mr.. MASON, and it is
but fair that they should be held
equally responsible.

Railroad Matters.

We copy the following items from
the Vinton Record:
The work on the railroad below
Vinton Furnace is being pushed for
ward rapidly and has reached a
point from half to a quarter of a
mile of ''the Baird House" Last
week there were SO men and 20 teams
at work, and an additional force was
to arrive on Monday from Gallipolis.
The men were paid off last week,
and everything is in good shape, the
most difficult portion of the road be-
ing finished. From the point now
reached the work is comparatively
light unless the workmen should
strike rock in the summit at Baird's
which does not appear probable from
the indications, and few weeks will
materially increase the number of
miles of road finished.
That portion of the railroad from
Vinton Station to Gallipolis is fixed
fact-it will be finished beyond a
doubt. From Vinton to Logan it re-
mains IN statue quo, and will remain
so until the people along the road
furnish the funds to complete the
work.
