1T is near time to select delegates
for the democratic State Convention,
and as the organs here may overlook
the fact in their haste and desire to
curry favor with the whisky ring by
abusing the movement" we copy
the following from the Cincinnati
Enquirer, that no mistake may be
made in the character of the dele
gates the party is required to send
up. We have friendly feeling for
our democratic neigbbors, and have no
desire to see them denounced" as
unfaithful to the requirements of the
hour. Here is what the Enquirer
demands:
The man who goes as a delegate to
the convention as Thurman's friend,
who refuses to vote for resolutions
that do not sustain him, is an enemy
of the Democratic party, and we shall
so denounce him whenever he APP
pears.

WHOLESALE KILLING OF Does
The subject of hydrophobia is ex-
citing the denizens of New York
city to a fearful extent. The Pound
Master from a collection OF dogs,
numbering s25, selected 80, placed
them in a tight box and turned gas
upon them, at the end of one hour
and half the box was opened and
every dog was dead.-Iro'.to'l Jour.
nal
Yes, when person dies of hydro
phobia, the press and the people be-
come excited, and there is an earnest
call for the destruction of the whole
canine race. But when a person dies
of delerium tremens the world looks
calmly on the scene; calls people
fanatics" if they attempt to remove
the cause; and even demands that
the traffic which produces such terri
BILE scenes shall have the sanction oi
law thrown around it-shall be licens-
ed. Why this earnest effort for relief
in the one case, and almost criminal
indifference in the other? The
character of the deaths. are similar
both terrible beyond the powers OF
description-and both demand the
sympathy of every human heart.
The deaths by delirium tremens are
thousands to one as compared with
hydrophobia, and yet we permit the
producing cause of the one to exist
unchecked. while we are for COM
plete determination of the cause of
the other. One must be ''muzzled, y
while the other must be licensed"
Why is this?

The weather has been unusually dry
so much so that vegetation looks very
bad indeed, except wheat, which is good
and generally in stack, and the thresh-
ing machines are going rampant
through the land getting it out.
The Flint Lock Mills throughout the
whole county have dried up, so that we
have to go to Gallipolis for our flour.
ENCoURAGING.-It commenced rain
ing about two O'Clock P. NJ, on the 10th,
and has rained at short intervals ever
since, which will have a tendency to
bring out corn, and that is the only
thing we look to now, as everything
pertaining to horticulture is too far gone
to make any thing.
And as to the "overjoyful," if ap-
pearances go for any thing, you must
have plenty of it in Gallipo1is, notwith-
standing the Woman's Crusade; as fre-
quently one comes out from the city
claiming all sides of the road. 1t would
De well for the dOggery keeper to know
who gets drunk and who does not, as
there is a statute on selling whisky to q
man who gets drunk.
The people here will generally vote
on the new Constitution license, No,

AT the democratic congressional
convention in the Fourteenth Dis
trict, last week, the political standing
of Col. DIcKEY was inquired into; it
was suggested that he had gone back
on Vallandigham; to which the
Colonel declared, excitedlH that he
had always stuck to the true blue
Democratic ticket, and nothing else.
That was sufficient-he was fully re-
instated in the fellowship of the
brethren. All that IS necessary to
make man a good democrat is that
he vote the ticket early and late-all
the time. All other things-charac-
ter, principles, integrity, etc, etc.,
are unimportant.

The Doctors on the Liquor Ques-
ton.

tlODs
The National Medical Association,
in it's session at Detroit, recently,
among other proceedings, discussed
the Temperance question from a hy-
genie point of view, and finally adopt
ed the following resolutions:
ResolUed, That in view of the
alarming prevalence and i'll effects of
lntemperance, with which none are so
familiar as members of the medical
profession, and which have called
forth from eminent English physi-
clans the voice of warning to the peo-
pie of Great Britain concerning the
use of alcoholic beverages, we, as
members of the medical profession
of the United States, unite in the
declaration that we believe that al
cohol should be classed with other
powerful drugs; that when prescribed
medically, it should be done with
conscientious caution and sense of
great responsibility.
Resolred, That we are of the opin-
ion that the use of alcoholic liquors
as beverage is productive of a large
amount of physical and mental di-
sease; that it entails diseased appe-
tites and enfeebled constitutions upon
offsprings, and that it is cause of a
large percentage of the crime and
pauperism of our large cities and
country.
ResOlred, That we would welcome
any change in public sentiment that
would confine the use of Intoxicating
liquors to the use of science, art and
medicine.

The Chambersburg Picnic.

AhO OhdAnOCTSDuTS 4 lChACe
Finding ourselves in the vicini ity
of Chambersburg, on the morning of
the Fourth, we followed the JOUR
NAILS advice of the week before, took
to the woods and attended a temper
ance picnic on the hill just back of
the village.
At an early hour the temperance
friends from Gallipolis made their ar
rival by steamer and private convey
ance, and were cordially received,
and conducted to the grove, where ar
rangements necessary for their COM
fort had been made.
They came, Judging from appear
ances), with the double purpose of
doing good and enjoying themselves,
and feel safe in saying that they
succeeded admirably in both. 1t
was just the time and the place for
enjoyment. The stately old oaks,
and wide spreading beech seemed to
vie with each other in throwing their
cool, refreshing shade over the entire
ground, while the breeze, which stir
red their leafy branches, made un-
necessary the fatigueing exercise of
tanning, and added amazingly to our
comfort. The children and young
people found the swing delightful,
and even some of the older, more
sedate ones, were tempted to take
part in it. The meeting was well
conducted, the speeches interesting,
and such universal good order pre-
vailed that one pretty little lady from
Gallipolis declared that she didn't
believe there was any aohiskey SYM
pathizers in the crowd, and that it
was hardly worth while to stand
preaching Temperance, where none
but temperance people were present.
But Notwithstanding the drawback,
she managed to say about as many
good, interesting things, as could well
be crowded into a five minutes
speech.
But didn't purpose entering into
a detail of the affair, but simply to
say, we had a good time generally.
Every lady looked happy, and if they
wasn't, they are good dissemblers.
That's all. JOYCE.

OUR correspondent CRUSADER" and
all others of like mind, must excuse
us from bandying epithets and vul-
garisms with the thoughtless throng
who are fighting the temperance
movement with that kind of weapon.
We have too much respect for our
readers to deal in the arguments of
the slnm. 1t should be recollected
that the opponents Of temperance
have no other way than the use of
vile epithets and indecent vulgar
isms, to sustain their position; where
as, all the facts and all the arguments
are on the side of temperance, and if
we cannot trust to them to make men
think right and act right, there is no
hope for the cause. Calumny and
abuse never gave character or pro-
gress to any cause, and surely a
great moral reformation like that of
temperance cannot be advanced in
that way. If adopted it would disgust,
and drive into indifference, many a
good friend of the cause. Let love
and good will, both towards the seller
and the drinker, be the motive for ac
tion on the part of the temperance
people, leaving to your opponents, if
they choose to adopt it, the degrade
ton of going to the pit for their
weapons of defense. 1t is warfare
between righteousness and unright-
eousness, and it is natural to expect
from the one thoughts and argu-
ments drawn from above, the foun-
tain of righteousness, while from the
other we must look for thoughts and
arguments brought from below, the
seat of unrighteousness. The leopard
cannot change his spots, and no more
can the antagonisms of good and
evil change their modes of thought
and expression.
We should just as soon think of
making companions of the libidin-
GUS and vile, as of meeting them on
their level in the discussion of a great
moral reform movement.

The New Constitution.
REVENUE AND TAXATION.

The present Constitution provides
that 'tlaws shall be passed taxing by
uniform rule, all moneys, investments
in bonds. stoeks,'' &c. The new
Constitution substitutes the word
cote for the word rule, thus enabling
the General Assembly to frame rules
of advertisement which shall recog-
nize distinction between different
kinds of property. Deduction of
debts from credits may be author
lied. Section 5 provides for the
taxation of franchises and incomes
derived from investments, when the
principal from which such incomes
are derived can not be reached. This
will produce an income which the
State has, as yet, failed to obtain
from property invested in United
States bonds and other securities.
Democrats should vote for the new
Constitution because of this provi-
sion.
A provision for the taxation of
banks, based upon capital and bust
ness, is another good provision.
The General Assembly is author
lied to restrain, regulate and prohibit
the keeping, harhoring or running at
large of dogs. Wool growers will
like this.
Section has these words, which
is a new power:
''The General Assembly may i'm
pose taxes by license, excise or other
wise"
We do not understand clearl Y the
scope of this provision. Some claim
for it the power to tax the business of
the citizen. For instance, the bust
ness of selling whisky and malt
liquors could be reached by special
tax under the power here conferred.
If this be correct rendering of this
provision, what additional power do
we give the Constitution by voting
into it the special article upon Ii
cense? If the saloons and beer
houses under this provision, can be
specially taxed upon their business,
we should much prefer that system
to that of license. We hope for
clearer light upon this subject.

Crusaders Notes.

1t is the impression that the JOURNAL
ought to fill the "craw'' of the dirty pa
pers printed in this place, with some of
their own kind of prOvender.
There are many people who think the
dignified attitude of the JOURNAL means
fear. Mr.. EDITOR, give them two or
three brOadsides and you will sink them
out of sight.
A wrong impression prevails, viz
If a man is temperate man, therefore
he is Il temperance man. The devil don't
drink whiskey, but his honor multiplies
intemperance traps and lures and drives
countless thousands into them yearly.
In all communities there are men too
cute to drink themselves, but glory in
the misery entailed upon others by in
temperance. If they can turn the un-
fortunate about to accomplish their ends,
that is all they desire.
A man may be addicted to strong drink
and yet have soul enough to vote and
labor to keep the unwary from the pit
into which they have fallen.
If man is veneered with morality.
or vanished with religion, and yet sus-
tains intemperance by Indifference, or
by active deeds and words, he is hun
dred fold more inten.perance in principle
than the first named.
"We are in the ascendancy.n This
language by ''head center" of the in
temperance party-[nOt a saloonist)
meant they were trapping and securing
the downfall of unfortunate men who
had signed the pledge By cunning and

Can the justice of God allow these
desperately wicked men much longer to

that ftPap" can ride into Office on the
black wave.
Some of the Fathers of our town who
are so active in opposing temperance men
and measures, will live to see their BOYS
die drunkards. Oh it is sad to see them
make such great mistakes.
That poor, unfortunate, frenZied man,
who wandered about town last week,
and who attempted to drown himself in
the river, is sample of the work the |
Beer and Whiskey men are making.
