Bonner Oh Drinking.

Robert Bonner, of the Ledger, de-
serves mention for the stand his
paper takes against the use of in
toxicating drinks. He replies to a
Miss Flora McFlimsy, who asks if
she should not offer wine in order
to be fashionable, in this fashion
at is mo longer fashionable to
furnish liquors on New Years day"
He does more. In reference to the
great moderation" advocate, he
says:
CDR Crosby, as is quite well
known, does rot himself hesitate to
take a glass Of wine at dinner par
ties, and, that being the case, we
do not see how he can consistently
object to other people doing the
same thing. What difference is
there in a rich man taking a glass
of champagne in a fashionable
place like Delmonico's' and a poor
man taking a glass Of something
cheaperin an questionable saloon
1t seems to US that if it is right for
the rich to drink, it can not be
wrong for the poor. - Chicago Sig

"Stand and be Counted"

The best way to work for the
cause of prohibition in city, State,
or Union is to follow the advice
given several years since to the
prohibitionists of Massachusetts,
by Wendell Phillips, STAND and
be counted" There is nothing
that parties fear more than they
do votes, nothing for which they
will sacrifice SO much, and nothing
in return for which they will not
promise But it is time the prohi-
bitionist had learned that these
promises are not made in sincerity.
The vote is wanted, the promise is
made. The victory is won, and the
promise is broken. There are pre-
hibitionists in sufficient numbers
to teach these men Of loose promises
that this sort Of thing will not do,
that Of indiscriminate lying there
has been enough. Not another
single convert is needed. 1t is
only necessary that every consci-
entious voter should "stand and be
counted for prohibition, and the
only way in which his vote can be
so recorded is by casting it for can
didates of that party that boldly
expresses its purpose to be the com
plete and unconditional surrender
of the liquor trafic.-Nat Liberdt0r.

Ashamed of 1T.

Mr.. Shufeldt, the President of
the National Distillers Association,
never said a. truer word than that
it is growing less and less respect
able in the eyes of even worldly
people to be connected with the
manufacture and sale Of alcoholic
liquors. The liquor press are feel
ing the "slant" of public opinion,
and are visibly squirming under
it. The Licensed VlctuaIiers Journal
Of Canada has gone so far as to
change its name, and will hence
forth be known as The Canadian
Weekly Reoiea0 and Journal of Fam-
iLu MtscelLanY.

Knows No Party Lines.

We clip this from the St. Mary's
Oracle:
The Republican party seems to
imagine that the Wheeling Register
is the Democratic party of West
Virginia. Simply because that
journal champions the cause of
whisky, and its minions, the immor-
tai twenty in the House, and the i'm
maculate fifteen in the Senate, voted
to perpetuate the traffic of lawless-
ness and disorder, the entire Demo
cratic party is charged with encour-
aging the whisky traffic, and favor
ing whisky drinking. In reality,
many of the ablest Democratic
statesmen are thorough temperance
men, and many Republicans not
only favor the traffic, but are even
given to dissipation. The question
of temperance is bounded by no par
ty line; it knows no creed, but
seeks the welfare of mankind. The
party that champions the cause Of
whisky as party, will surely go
down in disgrace, and be buried
amid the ruins of its own folly.

Some Senatorial Advice.

Senator David Davis is reported
to have recently said to some ladies
who were seeking Government po-
sitions: "Why do you permit your
selves to be placed in the ignomin-
ious position Of coming here, beg
ging favors of the Government,
where there are thousands ready to
crowd you to the wall and fight you
for every favor that you ask? You
all look intelligent. Why do you
not go out and learn to become
cooks, house keepers, chamber
maids, if you please, and then you
will be certain of a good home and
independence. People will then be
running after you instead of you
running after them, and the posi-
ton of a respectable servant of a
good family is one infinitely to be
preferred to that of hanging to
some beggarly Office, dependent
on the whim Of some bureaucrat."
The ladies are said to have founced
out when the old man had got thus
far

Exchange Notes.

SMALLPOX. - The Huntington
Advertiser of last week has a column
editorial on the smallpox, review
ing the results of the prevalence of
the contagion in the city during
both the spring of 1881 and the past
winter. The writer says the record
of 1881 shows 81 cases, II deaths and
10 recovered, the death rate being
3S per cent. The, disease prevailed
from the middle of February till
the last of May, during which bus
mess was paralyzed, and the direct
expenses being $4,000. From De-
cember 1881, up to March 1, 1882,
there were in the city As cases and
Is deaths, 40 per cent. of the cases
proving fatal. ~
The loss to the city in CONNER
cial point of view is placed at at
least one-half the volume of bust
ness. The argument of the article
is urgent for better hospital build
ing and better sanitary provisions
by way of sewerage, cleaning of
streets, &c. These are measures of
economy as well as life-saving.

Prince Bismarck.

Prince Bismarck, it is said, has
become 50 stout of late years that
he can no longer occupy an ordina-
ry dining chair, and sits according
ly on low sofa, with his famous
dog lying at his feet. He likes to
exhibit his accomplishments to
visitors, and it is related that one
day on receiving visit from Sig
nor Manlini, the present Italian
minister of foreign affairs, he sat
down at the piano and played a
composition of his own, remarking
in an off-hand manner that Gin
Prussia politicians found time to
cultivate the arts, so they do
in Italy," replied the Italian, and
going to the piano he played over
from beginning to end, and entirely
from memory, the piece which he
had Just heard Prince Bismarck
play for the first time.-Taterj0r.

Drink, VS.. Bread.

Statistics show that not the rents
so much as the whisky of Ireland
is productive Of its woe. In 1880,
the last year for which the returns
have been made up, the Irish PEG
pie paid more money to liquor
dealers than to landlords. Their
liquor bill was larger than their
rent bill by nearly 100000.
There are many families in this
country whose drink costs more
than their bread. 1t is "the drink"
that is running our laborjng classes.

One Glass of Rum.

. Mr.. Barnett, while conducting a
temperance meeting, related this
incident ''What one glass did for
a man."
He said he was attending meet
ing where temperance experiences
were told. One man arose and told
what one glass of rum had done for
him. He said:
II had a little vessel on the coast;
she had four men beside myself. l
h ] my wife and two children on
board the night was stormy, and
my brother was to stand watch on
that night; the seamen prevailed
on him to take 'one glass to help
him perform his duties, but being
unaccustomed to liquor, he fell
asleep, and in the night awoke to
find my vessel a wreck; l took my
wife and one of my little ones in
my arms, and she took the other,
and for hours we battled with the
cold waves. After hours of suffer
ing, the waves swept the little one
from my embrace; then, after more
hours of suffering, the waves swept
my other little one from my wife's
arms, and our two little dears were
lost from us forever. After more
battling with the storm and waves,
| looked at my wife, and behold
she was cold in death. | made my
way to the shore, and here | am
my wife, my children, and all my
earthly possessions lost for 'one
glass of rum. F"

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 26.-rhe in
quest on the bodies of thevmen killed at the
wreck of Sells circus train developed the
fact that on train oftwenty-one cars there
were but four brakes. Coming down
grade of seyenty-two feet TO the
mile, the train became. unm nageable,
and ran with such speed that the track
either spread or something broke and fell
on The track, causing the cars to jump the

A Big Fire,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September 25.-Tht
Franklin sugar refinery of Harrison, Have
meyer & Co., an immense brick structure
on Front and Almond streets, was partly
destroyed by fire this morning. The fire
broke out at 515 a. M, and although the
alarm was rung, 1t was not got under con-
troll under control until the block bounded
by Delaware avenue, Swansea, Almond
and cambridge streets was destroyed. This
block contained two large buildings that
were facing on Delaware avenue, being tn
mould house, three stories high, and thav
in rear of the mould house and extending
10 Swanson street, being a new building
called the filter house. sThese buildings
were filled with sugar in process Of manu-
iacture and ready for delivery, and both
structures with their contents were de.
stroyed. The loss will probably reach half
million dollars. The centrifugal house ard
boiler house, block from Swanson to Penn
street and Almond to Bainbridge street
were saved.
There were many narrow escapes, as lofty
walls fell one over another, but it is not
known that anyone was killed. Louis
Hoarsena, Swede, and one of the firemen
is missing. He was last seen attempting to
time past the refinery had been
running day and night there being
employed about the works over thousand
men. Nothing is known as to the origin
of the fire. 1t was burning for nearly an
hour before the alarm was given. The
workmen, who are trained in the use of
fire apparatus, endeavored to subdue the
flames without the aid of the fire depart
ment. The firm vary in their estimate of
losses, but it is believed now that the
loss total will be one million dollars.
Total insurance is stated at 1915, 600.

The attention of the agricultural
bureau has been drawn by
statistics of the cultivation Of rice in the
United States in 1881, as given before the
tariff commission at Savannah yesterday,
ana the following facts and comments have
been elected: Ihe number of acres re-
poi ed in rice in the United States by the
census of 1850 was 774.173; the number OF
mounds produced, 110, ,13l 1913 of clear rice,
an average product OF 632 pounds per acre;
the acreage Of Georgia was 3i9,4I3, which
is about one-fifth Of the total area
In rice: South Carolina had 7s,3SS acres and
produced 52.O77, SIS pounds, or nearly hall
ofthe total production Of the United Stltes
Louisiana had nearly as much as Geor-
gia. In the census year the number OF cul-
tiyators is far less than the number OF acres,
while at Savannah the number Of persons
interested in this cultivation was stated at
IO.OO5, as against 5000 acres under cultiya-
tion-5,OOO more people than acres, Lfhile
acres under cultivation in 1881 at nearly
2OCJ1 less than in 1880. The product for

Saturdays Flood,

New YORK, September 25.-Details of the
damage done by Saturdays flood fill sew
eral columns of to-day's newspapers, and
some remarkable instances of the force of
water are recorded. On Jersey avenue,
Jersey City, one of the finest streets in the
city, there was wooden pavement with a
slight asphalt covering, and the water
loosened the blocks of this pavement
and washed them into the sewer.
The opening soon checked them,
and the water rose to q
height that filled all the cellers and all
basement dining-rooms which are here.
The real damage from this cause is i'm
mense. A great sewer on the line between
Jersey City and Hoboken burst. A sec
ton of the sewer, only % feet long and 6
feet in diameter, was rGised bodily
out of the earth and the water
spurted thirty feet in the air
for several hours, The new tunnel
of the Ontario S Western road through the
hill back of Jersey City was submerged,
and the bank of the cut caved and buried
lS0 gravel cars and did other damage to the
amount of 100000 On the Long Branch
railroad the foundation of the bridge over
Berry's creek was weakened and the bridge
went down while freight train was passing
over it. The conductor was killed and the
engineer and fireman injured, probably
fatally

The Associated Press.

Inc assOCihteu
New YORK, September 24.-The Sun
this morning editorially, in regard TO the re-
lations of the Associated Press to Jay
Gould, writes as follows:
"a number of our partners in the Associa-
ted Press have most foollshiy undertaken
to discuss in public the private proceedings
of that body. Some of them do it more
sensiblv and judiciously than others, but In
| this latter category we can hardly include
the Journal of Commerce, whose remarks we
here quote" (Then follows the concluding
paragraph of the article from the Journal OF
| Commerce, telegraphed south last night. }
| The Sun then adds: "We regret to say
that these observations partake very
strongly of the nature of nonsense-in fact,
they incline to be fanatical. There is a
| iustifable hostility toward the interference
of Mr.. Jay Gould with the press of the
country. That wealthy gentleman has be-
co ne the proprietor of one of the news
papers belonging to the associated press,
while he holds cor 'rol of another through
enormous advances of money, which are
secured by pledges OF its stock. At the
same time, his friend and ally, Mr..
Cyrus W. Field, is also owner
Of another of those journals,
and these two Spectators together
can dictate the action Of the three out Of
the seven newspapers which comprise the
Associated prese ON the other hand, tho
Times, Herald and Journal Of Commerce
regard Mr.. Gould's schemes and purposes
with a natural and critical detestation, and
this feeling we fully share; but we regret to
say they don't seem TO be in a state Of mind
to resist his Vaccinations with sense and
efficie lcy. In fact the course that they
are inclined TO pursue is, in our judgment,
a course whose result can n-ly be favorable
to Gould's designs. This does not seem to us
the proper place 10 discuss these questions in
detail, but we will say that instead of unity
the Independent press of the country-and
we use this word solely with reference to
che operations Of those great speculations
in an effort TO maintain its Independence
and 10 resist the manipulation and projects
of Gould-these contemporaries seem 10 us
to be pursuing a policy which renders the
success of the independent press against
him exceedingly difficult, and tends to pro-
mote Gould's purpose most effectively.
saws about the Sun and its
editor surpasses our understanding. What
does il mean by alleging that we are per-
sonal friend OF the leading manipulator, or
that we may not rebel against such dictator
ship, or that this paper may have been
sold out? This is a sOri Of false suggestion
that we were not prepared 10 expect from a
man like Mr. David NJ. Stone, who is not
habitually demented. and we viii add that
while the manipulatOrs Of whom be
speaks will have 20 wait
for ever before the sun becomes
subservient to their end, the Journal of
Commerce appears 70 be alreapy enlisted
in fIrfhfring their desires TO the utmost NJ
its aDr - IL H. not practicable for jim
tied numb-r Of hali-crazy men 90 beat Jay
Gould. II takes judgment and c0oiness to
do that and we prefer 70 exercise those
qualities in this case as IN oil other.

Drowned,

YAzoo CRY, MISS, September 2i.-Yes-
terday morning Myron Stockbridge, of
Rockville, Indiana, left the home of his
brother-in-law, A. S. Russell, of this county,
to go into Madison county to buy sheep.
Later in the day his clothes were found on
the bank of Big Black river, at Scott's
ferry, and his horse was grazing near by.
1t is supposed that, upon reaching the ferry
and finding the boat on the opposite shore
and the ferryman absent he attempted to
swim the river to get the boat to cross his
horse and was drowned. This is the most
plausible theory, as his watch and several
hundred dollars were found in his pock-
