FAIR PLAY.

EDITon ADVANCE AS an indepen.
dent citizen of Mobiles County wish to
inquire how it is that a Grand Jury,
under oath to lie impartial, can find in
dictments against Duffey and Jones for
selling two drinks of beer and against
James Monroe for getting a sick woman
a pint of liquor and find no indictments
against r. d. Barber, Crandall Bros,
or Miller & Smith when there was
more evidence to indict either of the
latter than there was the former.
I was witness before the Grand Ju-
ry and told that august body l had
bought cider that contained liquor and
had drank lager beer furnished by
Crandall Bros, and Mr.. Pearson saws
he told the Grand Jury that he had
bought liquor of r. D. Barber at differ
ent times. g. b. Loveles;, who was
foreman of the Grand Jury, told that
body in my presence that lie had pur-
chased liquor of Miller and Smith and
yet none of these parties are indicted.
Now, Mr.. Editor, I claim to be a
free and indepe adent citizen of this
county and wish to see the laws ad-
ministered fairly and impartially. l
do not think it right that few per-
sons are to I've punished for trivial off
ences while others more guilty are al
lowed to escape. If we are to have a
temperance county let Us have one in
every sense, or let US change our COL
ors and admit that We are no better
than our neighbors. A single drink of
beer worth S cents cost Mobiles county
over hundred dollars and yet beer is
acknowledged to he the healthiest bev-
erage known to man. The St. Paul
Pioneer-Press, in speaking of Stall
mans Beer.Garden fair week. calls
lager beer ''that promoter of temper
ance." 1t is an undisputed fact that a
person can get drunk any day in Wor-
thing ton on the cider that is sold in all
our restaurants and if cider is too thin
it can be mixed with whisky or the
pure liquor can he got from our drug
stores. There are very few people in
WOrthington who don't drink either
beer or something stronger, and look
at the Express Company'S books will
show who gets the most of it. have

Now that the threshing Is all done
and everyone has found themselves
poorer than they expected, there seems
to he dearth of farm news, except that
farmers are busy preparing their land
for another season as if poor crops were
things of the past forever.
Grassloppers have visited us and
crops have failed, but there seems to be
no abatement in the number of minor

1HE ELECTION.

7HE ELEC71UN.
Returns are meagre, but enough is
known to show that the November elec-
tions have gone largely Republican. 1t
is even claimed that New York City is
Republican and Tammany overthrown.
Butler is defeated in Massachusetts
by from 10000 to 10000.
In this State, the State ticket is elec-
ted by about the usual Republican ma
jority. Tie three Republican candidates
for Congress are doubtless elected,
though the Globe claims that there is
still chance for Donnelly. Washburn's
Is put at from 5000 to 1900. Dunnell
Is undoubtedly elected by a handsome
majority.
Perkins is elected in this Senatorial
District and Kniss in the Representa-
tive District.
THE LIQU UoR Ian
The ruling Of Judge Dickinson under
the liquor laws OF the State have OPEN
cd the eyes of this community to the
fact that handling liquors, especially
in this community, is a good deal more
dangerous than handling powder. If
we understand his decisions they are to
the effect (l) that liquors can neither
be sold nor given away without render
ing parties liable to punishment; (2)
that neither druggist nor any one
else can sell liquor even on a physi-
clans prescription without violating
the law. This narrows the furnishing
Of alcoholic liquors down to the physi-
clans, who, it seems, may administer
them in their practice but dare not
sell them is druRQiSts.

THR HALL FfRE

Tho Worthington ADVANCE might
Just a. well say that T, n. Gruelle. un-
til lately one Of tho partners Of the
Journal. set fire to Miller Hall \ few
weeks since, the latter, Office being To-
Gated In the burned building and in.
snred for 81, 500 1t sayl that Gruelle
and Jack Bassett, q boy in his employ,
are more apt to know who fired the
Hall than any one else, they being the
only two male persons seen about the
building on the morning Of the fire.
The ADVANCE should be careful, else
it will have \ libel suit on its hands,
st. James Journal.
II that is libel, make the most of it.
II to publish the facts about the. burn
Ing Of Miller Hall. and to express the
opinion that the Grand Jury failed be-
cause Of the absence Of the principal
witnesses, T. NJ. Gruelle and Jack
Bassett, is libel, then we are liable to
such an action. And we have print
ing Office and farm to sink in defend
ing it. too.
1t looks very suspicious that the two
principal witnesses were spirited away
before the Grand Jury met. There
must be men in Worthington who
know the guilty party, and ~ho are
bound to see that lie escapes.
Gruelle and Bassett were the only
male persons seen about the Hall be-
fore the fire occurred; they were there
an hour before the alarm was given, as
the Worthington Journal stated in its
own account of the fire; the alarm was
sounded in ten minutes after Gruelle
and Bassett left the Office, and in ten
minutes more the whole room in the
rear Of the Journal office was a mass
of flames pouring out dense clouds oi
smoke which smelled of kerosene.
The wretch who set the fire did il
quickly and effectually and in less than
one hour the largest building in Wor'
thington was q heap of smoking ruins,
What We ask, and what every MAJ,
in the community should ask, is that
the guilty party should be ferreted ou,
and punished. If it should turn out
to Ike the best friend the ADVANCE
has, let him be punished. If it should
be found to he the worst enemy, lei
him be punished also.- The crime was
a most diabolical and infamous one
which put the whole town in jeopardy
and the men in this community who
have expressed satisfaction that thu
big ''rat-trap," as they call it, wa:
burned, and who have been AZ silent Il:
the grave about bringing the culprit t<
justice, are justly open to the sus
picion of knowing something about i,
themselves.

you would stand where tile ADVANCE
does to-day. We have steadily pro-
claimed and made the ADVANCE an in
dependent paper, with all our predelec-
tions and antecedents in favor of the
Republican party. Wesaid in our issue
of week before last that as between the
two old parties we very much prefer
red the Republican. But We believe
the financial policy of that grand old
party is wrong and has well-nigl ruin
ed the country. We believe that the
new National party is demanded and
that it is coming into power. The f.
nancial issue is but one of many before
the country. The party which can see
the needs of the people and 60 before
the country pledged to meet these needs
and give the expected relief, will win.
For over year the ADVANCE has
seen the hand writing on the wall an.
nouncing the doom of the old parties
and has proclaimed it.
Tive Reporter shows its lack Of an
intelligent understanding of tile state
of politics when it calls favoring the
greenback policy leaning toward tl,e
Democracy. The majority of the Dem.
ocrats are hard money men while ma.
jority of the Republicans are doubtless
greenbackers. The Democrats, OF
course, are glad to pool their issues
with the Greenbackers IN order to beat
the Republican party : .:' -

Yellow Fever.

A lady correspondent, sends us the
following treatment Of yellow fever.
Fortunately there is no case Of the
kind in the State, but az we have many
subscribers in the fever part, We pub
lish it in hopes Of its doing good some
where else.
SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT OF YEL-
LOW FEVER.
Headache, pain in back and bones,
sometimes slight shivering at first,
then flushed face, eyes infamed and
often blood-shot, pulse full and quick,
skin dry and fcyerish. Sometimes
sickness of the stomach, but not often
in the begiQning Of the disease.
TREATMENT.
As soon as tho above symptoms
are felt, get to bed as quickly as pos
eiblc, Cover up with blankets, pat
a cup tull Of mustard in foot tub of
hot water; put it in the bed under
the clothes-patient lying on the
back. Keep the feet in it fifteen
minutee, Then give . simple dose
Of medicine (citratc of maguesia). A
bottle may be taken at an interval of
one or two hours.
Keep up a gentle pcrSpiration as
long as the fever lasts. If the skin
becomes dry give another foot bath.
Keep the patient quiet aud free from
excitement. Watch closely and keep
the bedclothes on If delirious keep
the clothes wet frequently with ice
water. Let the drink be ice water or
ice lemonade--but do not give enough
to disturb the stomach. Do not give
bowels rs do IL T not act has&ehddiaf1Kssv.ii iIse
all means keep the patient quiet. The
fever never entirely subsidies before
seventy-two hours from the time it
comes on. At the end Of that time
there is almost always nausea, but
gre0e'a roDaitjng, by mustard pouI-
tice over the chest. Ice pounded
like snow is grateful to the patient.
If weak when the fever goes off, q
teaspoonful Of good spirits i'll a little
sugar and water may be given every
half hour. One or two grains Of qui-
nine may also be given with good
tonic effect. While the fever lasts
for the first three days give no food
After the fever has gone and stomach
quiet THAT is about the fourth or fifth
day. and there is no more relapse
food may be given of the lightest kind,
and in small quantities, say beef tea,
chicken tea, rice, cruel, corn starch,
little tea, toast, etc.
DO not get up until after the eighth
day, no matter how well you feel. for
relapse is apt to prove fatal One
suffers so little in yellow fever that
they think they are welt when they are
not. Good nursing is more potent
than medicine. If taken in ti,ua it is
easily managed.

Forced Sale Under Mortgages on
HOmeSteadS.

Can homesteads be mortgaged and
is it necessary for the wife to join in
the mortgage? The question has
excited much interest in some Sec
tions Of the country In the South
er'e L0ao Rcuieac, Vol. w, MS. No,
Z, very learned and instructive ar
ticie on the Effect of Exemption
Laws on Fraudulent Conveyances,
presents the subject, as far as It goes.
in a clear and torcible light under the
laws of fraud. There are other
points connected with homestead ex-
slnptlon which nave come under the
judicial Investigations Of the writer
which may not be. uninteresting to
the bench aud the bar.
In many of the States q certain
amount OF property, real and person
m, exenptccl eaicsaas .ssGss.,o.sEas ss.sssiss.
The meaning of the term forced
sale" has received judicial explanation.
The Supreme Court Of the State of
California hasdGcided that a ''forced
sale is not synonymous with sale on
execution. The latter may be, and
often is, voluntary in every respect.
: Its quality, as being volun-
tary or forced, depends not on the
mode Of its execution, but upon the
presence or absence Of the owner
Peterson Y. lI6rnblowor, 33 Cal.
26G The court, in this case, held
III relation to the homestead which
had been mortgaged :-''The home
stead was not forced upon him, but
he was at liberty to avail himself Of
its protection or not, at his election :;
the consent Of his wife, if he was a
married man, being required in order
to secure to her also the protection
of the homestead exemption This
was under the requisites Of the Con
stitution Of California. Il has been
held in Texas that any sale is a
forced sale. The courts Of that
State hold that the exemption laws
are designed to protect the man and
his family in the enjoyment q such
property as is legally exempt, and
that the mortgage cannot have the
aid ola court to enforce his contract.
1t was held in the New York
Court Of Appeals, by Mr.. Justice De
MO, that stipulation in pron.issory
note "waiylng and relinquishing all
right Of exemption Of any property
] may have from execution on this
debt," is void as against the policy
Of the law exempting property from
sale on execution which was designed
for the protection Of poor men and
their families.
On principles Of equity, the case OF
Pratt V. Barr, S Biss., is clearly right,
The debtor purchased goods on credit
aud then sold his entire stock, receiv-
ing in part payment the premises
which he claimed as homestead.
The creditors fled a bill to have the
property sold to satisfy their debts
