Massachusetts has a new law con-
corning liquor trade. It is not en-
forced especially in the large cities
with any particular degree of enthu-
siasm, hut as q law it is making its
way, and already with a depressing
effect upon the trade. 1t provides
that no screens, curtains, stained or
ground glass or other thing for con
cealment shall be used in any drink
ing place. The purchase of liquor
must be as honest as purchases of
other things, open to the light of day
and the knowledge of all men. This
is certainly a fair proposition, butt it
meets the bitterest opposition among
them whom it most concerns. Ney-
~ertheless, it has been enforced to a
degree, and the result in some local
tiles has been a falling off of so per
cent. in business according to saloon
keepers.

The unhappy condition of things
in the reorganized administration of
the Ohio P~enitentiary continues and
it is thought.a special meeting of the
Board will have to be called to
straighten things out. The whole
institution is d~emoralized, and all
sorts of scandals are cropping out.
Mr.. Thomas, the Warden, seems to
be a man of good intentions, but in
competent, and afflicted with a
chronic stupidity that makes him of
no more account in the prison than
a wooden man. Deputy Warden
Dean, having been once kicked out
of the position he now holds for gross
cruelty and brutality, being now re
instated considers himself vindicated
and a bigger man than the Warden,
or than Governor Foster himself.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says:
The third term managers will no
doubt succeed in forcing Grant on
to the Republican party as its can
didate against the protests of its
better elements. They perhaps
think the same toadies will succeed
in making him President whether he
wants TO or not. If he is defeated,
as he certainly will be, they expect
to have him take his seat regardless
of the result of the balioting. But
right here is where the third term
ers are making an error in their cal
culations. The Democrats are not
concerned about the fight that is go
ing on over his nomination, but after
he is nominated they will have some
thing to say, and if he is defeated
they will not be bulldozed into al
loving him to take his seat. That
is a fact which the third termers
should paste in their hats.

Price, the negro murderer of Gin
cinnati, who was to be hanged on
last Friday, has been respited for

people of the city, that the black
wretch is allowed to live another

A dwelling house at Piqua was
wrecked and burned on. Tuesday of
last week, from the explosion of a bar
rel of gasoline that was kept in the
cellar of the residence of Mrs. DR..
Jones. The occupants of the house
discovered by the odor that the barrel
was leaking and sent for their grocer
to come and see to it. A young lady,
the grocer and two boys went into
the cellar and as it was dark some
one struck a match with the most ter
rife results. The two boys died of
their injuries, the grocer died in the
afternoon and the lady a few days af-
ter the accident. The mother of the
two boys is lying in a critical condi-
ton from the effects of the shock,
and the beautiful home of Mrs. Fan
ny Jones is destroyed.

The Court of Inquiry in the case
of the colored Cadet Whitaker has
returned a verdict in his case, which
in plain language is, that he "warn-

main so until the case is disposed of

The growth of Methodism in the
United States has been so great that
tie General Conference found it nee
essary to increase the number of
bishops from six to ten, in order to
secure an efficient supervision of the

organization. Three of the new
bishops L already well known as

The Republicans are in Conyen-
ton at Chicago, and the "Kilkenny
fight" has opened. At this writing it
looks as if GRANT would be the choice,
but from the mass of stuff from the
organs of the three ca ndidates, it is
very hard to decide which one will
come out on top. The fight is bitter,
however, and no matter how it ends,
the sores opened cannot be healed
to do good in the campaign of 1880.
The Republican party is doomed
its own corruption will divide and
separate it, and the people, at the
ballot box next November, will
place the seal of condemnation upon
it's defiled and unholy carcass.

dread in tbs coming campaign, is the

against them at the polls.
