Another temperance crusade is breaking
out in some parts of Ohio, and on Satur-
day last the women of Fredericktown,
Knox county. completely Quilted one sa-
loon, drove another dealer out of town and
compelled the drug stores TO throw up
barbados for self-protection. Whether
gunpowder is to be made a permanent
auxiliary of the movement and the busi-
ness blown sky-high, as was done at West
erville not long ago, remains to be seen;
but it would be well for the crusaders to
remember that in the long run an adher-
ence to law is better instrument of re-
form than a resort to violence.

Having but little qualification or
taste for writing political articles, we
might as well confess that we expect 10
copy most of our political matter from
other papers. In the three years that
we have conducted the JOURNAL We
never yet wrote general political ar
ticle that we could not have supplant-
ed by much better one from some
other paper. Of course this has no re-
ference to local politics.
Circumstances have compelled us TO
adopt the pttent outside plan. We have
nothing to conceal or evade about the
matter. by this system many country
papers get along well enough that
otherwise could not maintain them
selves for six months. Four of the six
papers now printed in Centre county
are published Oh this plan.
The news and local departments shall
receive our special attention. In that
particular work we take much pleasure
and any little talent we may possess rs
q writer goes In that dire ,tion. Our
local columns have received much and
unstlnted praise.
We reduce the price OF the JOURNAL
TO the populur and convenient sum Of
one dollar q year, If paid tn atlrance,
otherwise one dollar and twenty-five
cents will be charged. IT we are snp-
ported as we ought and expect TO be,
we can publish our paper at that price
and make living" But with these
| reduced terms we must be paid regular
ly every year. We will not, even for
the sake OF large circulation, send the
JOURNAL TO men who never pay, or
even think of paying. We prefer a
smaller number Of ofsubscribers who pay,
to larger one that don't.
As much as IN ns lest we will en-
deavor to live peaceably with all men--
particularly with all editors. We love
peace and fraterna, feeling with our
brethren of the press, and through no
fault of ours shall amicable relations be
disturbed between us.
To the public who has heretofore
very generously sustained us We return
our thanks. and shall strive In the fu-
ture In some measure to deserve their
confidence. This par. of Centre county
has had its local paper for over fifty
years and now needs it more than ever.
Will the people of Penns and Brush
Valleys give us liberal support 2

People Fighting TO Get Away and Blood

Mckenzie (Tcnn.) Dis patch to n. Y. Herald.
Train after train load of Memphians
now almost hourly pass through here,
leaving crowd Of anxious people mt
the plague-sCriken city waiting at the
depot there for the first chance to get
away. Memphians say that so deter.
mined are the people to get out of that
city that they clamor with one another
as mob, and those passengers with
the most strength and determination
are those who run over the multitude
of more timid people and escape.
People have crowded about the de-
pot for twenty-four hours before being
able to get on the train. Overcome
with heat and fatigue, men, women
and children sleep closely huddled to-
gether until aroused and told that the
hour of deliberation is near at hand.
A fresh train has been made up, aud
they pass out to the transfer station,
which is always crowded. Instead of
waiting for trains to carry them thither
they 60 out by every conceivable con-
veyance, and by that means often take
the places Of those who have been fore.
ed to cone out on the trains only to
end that they have been deprived of q
possibility of their early escape to u
more healthy climate.
Restive and combative under these
circumstances men grow desperate and
Tght like tigers. RevolYers are drawn
in the most savage determination, and
bloodshed is only prevented by the in
terfereDce Of a strong guard. People
are so closely sandwiched in the trains
that the heat becomes intolerable, pas
sengers get restive, and almost every
one who makes it known can be easily
accommodated with knock down. A
general scramble for seats continues all
along the various lines until the cor.
ductor gets rid of the jam by dropping
them here, there and everywhere.

QUAY'S STATE CONVEN-

BoSs'Quay's political state meeting,
qSY courtesy called Republican State
SonventioN, came off at Harrisburg
last Wednesday, the 23rd inst.
Everything passed off nicely and
smoothly, just like weli-oiled machine.
The whole affair was over in few
hours, and but for a little diversion
created by the irrepressible Charley
Wolf, who offered the following reso-
luttuu and insisted on having 1t read,
the meeting would have been entirely
devoid of interest:

to entertain an appeal to the house. 1t
was rigid enforcement of gag law.
After much wrangling about the deS.
potic and disgraceful rulings of Mr..
Hail, few of the better minded men,
mainly Senator Cooper and Mr.. Barrett,
of Lackawanna, got ashamed of the
whole matter, and finally pushed a
motion through to have Wolfe's resolu-
ton read.
The balance of the conventions
work was easy enough. Ex-SpeAker
Grow was named for President, with q
number of Vice Presidents and Secre-
taries. Samuel Butler, of Chester
county, was nominated by acclamation,
q sett of regulation resolutions were
passed, but that of Mr.. Wolf received
only few votes, and the meeting adj
journed. As machine convention it
was grand success.

"ENGL.TSH. /"

After much deliberation and no little
hesltancy we have finally decided to
make the JOURNAL an English paper
altogether, and as such it will
he published from hencesorth.
The reasons that impel us to do
Cd are imperative as 10 our course
Inn This matter. We neither created
nor sought them, and are in no way
responsible that tie last vestige of the
paper that for over fifty years has been
the recognized German journal of the
county, has been crushed out. His
Honor, Judge Orvis, i'm a case recently
prepared to test the matter, ruled that
the JOURNAL as heretofore published.
was not a German paper 'in the sense
Of the law" He went evsn farther
and decided also ShSt it was not an
English paper, although we are not
aware that that particular point was at
all properly on formally before him in
any phase or shape.
Now the scope and effect, If not the
Object Of Judge Orvis' decision, is to
deprive the JOURNAL of all legal ad-
vertisIng, and wipe it out of existance
as German paper. No inference could
be palmer.
Placed at such great disadvantage
in relation to al the other papers of
tho county, we had no choice but tO
quit one or the other language, and so
we have concluded to quit the German.
liz In with unfeigned regret that we
bid farewell TO language that for OBJ
vious reasons is so dear to us. 1t may
he neither fashionable ner popular to
say 50. hRt we DO aRost strongly and
decidedly declare that we are German
by birth, instinct and education, and
that If we can not retain the language
We win try to remain true to the gen.
ius and spirit Of our fathers.
We have no desire and are in no
mood to discuss the extraordinary de-
cisiOn of Judge Orvis, and the circum-
stances that hang around and about
the matter. We may have occasion to
refer to them again. For the present we
have said all we intended to say, and
win Jnly add that TEE MILLHEN
JOURNAL has come to stey of which all
concerned or not concerned viii please
take notice.
