= At the Democratic Congressional
Convention held at Hillsboro, ON
Wednesday Of last week, Hon. L. T.
Neal, of Ross county, was nominated
for reelection to Congress, on the 9th
trial. There were q number of other
candinates, all anxious to serve their
dear people, with no other desire than
to do good for their countrymen. The
contest was finally narrowed down. to
Neal, of Ross, and Tarbell, of Brown,
Neal receiving two votes more than
the number required to make choice.
Neal made fair representative at the
last session considering the political
persuasion to which he belongs-is a
young man of fine talents and unob-
jeetiOnable morals. We learn that there
will be strong opposition to his cleo
ton on the subterfuge that he took
pay last year under the salary grab
law. We would not be afraid to wa
ger our hat if we were betting 'men,
that any one sf those tender harted
gentlemen who object to Neal on that
account, will never refuse to take all
the law allows them, and really the
great opposition to Neal is, that he
stands in some other gentlemen's way
Of official glory.

through: ''when the boots are taken
off, fill them quite full with dry oats.

damp. and will rapidly absorb the

and fills the boot with tightly fit ting

In the morning, shake out the oats and

the boots, and go happily about the

- Mr.. Baxter, the great advocate
of temperance, and the author of what
is known as the Baxter liquor law in
Indiana, lectured on the subject of
temperance in Columbus in this State,
q few days since. OF his lecture, the
Columbus Gazette says:
Mr.. Baxter is an Englishman. (Wbv
is il, by the way, that so many of our
best temperance lecturers are English
menP) His nativity is apparent at
once, from his strange foreign accent,
which makes his remarks somwhat diff
feult of comprehension at first; but
when he gets fully warmed up, he
slides into more natural channel, and
claims undivided attention.
OF course the speaker was forced to
speak Of liquor drinking as a curse to
the community. This is self-evident,
but temperance lecture would be in
complete without them. He stated
that we destroy annually 10000 bush
els Of grain, and that 400, 900 men are
employed in making and selling whis-
kies. There are over 100000 drunk
ards in this country, and the speaker
figured this fact in such manner as to
prove loss of one billion dollars to
the Government, In ten years intox
ieatiOn has increased 3O5 per cent
In 20 years Indiana would be a State
of paupers and criminals.
In regard to license, the speaker
came down hat-fSoted against it. Ad-
vancing the idea that in England,
whore the license system is the most
perfect, he averred that the brewers
and dlstillers held the British govern
ment by the throat, and were virtually
the law makers.

No License.
To the members Of Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends, achO reside an
the IStQte Of OHIO:

10 the members Of Indiana Yearly
Meeting of Friends, acho reside an
the State IF Ohio:
DEAR FRIENDs-At the Meeting for
Sufferings, held at Richmond, Ind, in
the Sixth month, 1873, a committee
was appointed to note the proceedings
of the convention, then in session fer
revising the constitution of the State
Of Ohio, and, if necessary, to appear
before it in behalf of the Society of
Friends, to prevent if possible, in the
organic law of the State, any legal rec
ignition of the traffic in intoxication
liquors.
The committee attended to the duty
assigned it, but the convention decided
to submit to the people a clause. which.
if adopted, will authorize the Legisla-
ture of this State to pass laws to Ii
cense this demoralizing and destruct-
i've traffic. In view of this fact, the
committee was continued at the Meet
ing for the Sufferings held the 4th inst,
and directed to prepare an appeal,
earnestly urging upon our members,
and all others over whom we have in
fluence, to attend the polls on the 18th
of Eighth mo- next, and vote and en-
courage others to vote against this
clause.
We are aware that an affirmative
vote on this provision does not com
pei the Legislature to pass license
law, but says emphatically you may do
so, and every affirmative vote will be
considered a vote for license.
For the last twenty years the organ
ic law of Ohio has been free from this
taint. Certainly we ought not to take
backward step now, when the terri
BILE evils of the liquor traffic are sc
prominently before the people. We
will not argue the question at length
but earnestly appeal to our member:
to use their best endeavors to swell
the vote in opposition to this provis
ion. Let your emphatic No ring GU
through the ballot box in tones tina
can not be misunderstood, and thus
save the credit of the State, and, a
far as our votes will go, save our pee
pie from the wretchedness and Grim
of intemperance. On behalf of tn
committee.

&c i nraLtr generally acknowl.

1t is pretty generally acknowl- |
edged that the results of the sale and
uss Of Intoxicating liquors as a bever
age are injurious to the peace, the NOR
ais and the domestic relations of fam
lilies; that it is productive of crime, |
nauperism and mental and physical
suffering; but they tell us that we have
no power to prevent these results, and,
in this view of the situation, the peo-
ple are asked, for nominal consider
alton, to throw the protective arm of
the law around a business that pro-
duces these acknowledged evils. This
protective power is asked for the traf-
fic, not because it justly demands the
protecting care of the law-making
power more than any other article of
trade or commerce, but they tell us
that we must license the liquor traffic
because we cannot prohibit it; they
tell US that so long as Intoxicating liq-
uOTs are made, they will be sold and
they will be drank, and as long as they
are drank there will be drunkards, and
because we cannot prevent all this, as
we are told, it is wisdom to sell out
these iadulgencies let us, for little
money, hire out the privilege of max
ing drunkards to a class Of men who
are willing to pay for it.
Now, as long as there has been
drunkards in the land efforts have been
made to persuade men not to get drunk
and there are laws passed to punish
them for getting drunk, but they will
get drunk. Nobody pretends to say
that licensing the liquor traffic will
prevent this. Well, then, in this view
of the case, would there not be as
much good sense and propriety in Ii
censing lot of fellows in every com
munity to do up all the drinking and
drunkenness for their various neigh
bOrhoOds? just think what a revenue
from these two sources might be raised
for the State If you grant indulgen-
ces to liquor sellers for money with
which to increase your revenue, would
it not, from the same propriety of rea.
sOning, be a grand stroke of fnan-
cial policy to sell indulgencies to the
drinkers also2

An Internal NIachine--AtteTnpted
Murder of Whole Family.

PHILADELPHIA, July 2O.-On Satur-
day information was received by the
detective force that Mrs. Charles ..
Herring, wife of carpet dealer at the
corner Of Second and South streets,
received an internal machine contain.

accompanied the box, stating that it
contained some newly patented articles.
The circumstances being deemed sus-
picious, the box was carefully opened
without accident, the entire family
standing around at the time. The box,
which was one foot long and eight
inches wide, was filled with powder,
on top of which run through holes, in
a strap we're about nine matches with
heads arranged to almost touch a sill
ding lid which was covered with sand
paper. If the box had not been eau
tiously opened an explosion would
have occurred, injuring and probably
causing the death of the entire family
