THE Temperance Tent" which
was used as Tabernacle in Iowa and
Kansas, is now pitched in Indiana,
and the work Of Temperance Refor-
nation will be pushed vigorously in
the Hoosier State. But there is a
temperance tent which beats the can
vas structure, in every particular. 1t
is the structure formed by the walls OF
mans conscience. This structure
will stand-and its indestructible
walls will witness the downfall OF the
horrible business Of the doggery-keep-
er-and there is no man so low that
he does not regard the business as hor-
rible. The time for any sentimental
gush about personal liberty" OF
''sumptuary laws has passed. There
arises the alternative Of the destruc.
ton Of the business of the doggery.

proportion of the human race. 1t il
not difficult to see which side is des.

What is the personal liberty" o1

That is the liberty he is contendine
for, and that is the liberty the Demo

It has come to such pass, now
that family that has not one or NOR

are desolated and families broken up

The Cincinnati Commercial pre-
tends to be in favor of taxing the liq-
uor traffic, but nearly every day it re-
iterates its objection to the Pond law
because it regarded the liquor business
as crime. It has horror of calling
men criminals, who openly, and de-
family, and persistently, violate the
laws of the State, and whose business
causes nine-tenths Of the crime, pau
perism and insanity in the State. Ii
they are not criminals and outlaws,
what are they?

WE fear we can see evidences Of
Literary Bureau" work in the Dem
cratic papers. For instance, we no
ticed in some Democratic paper day
or two after the nomination that "the
nomination Of Newman is not pleas
ing to the Republicans" In the
course Of few days we noticed the
same remark in perhaps dozen Dem
ocratic exchanges. We have not as
yet been able to find any Republican
who is not reasonably happy over it.

A NEGRO named Bill Holmes was
arrested and put in jail at Pomeroy,
charged with attempting to outrage a
young girl who was out with her mo-
ther picking blackberries. A mob Of
over hundred persons made an as
sault upon the jail, but they appeared
to be both awkward and cowardly.
The prisoner was sent to Columbus
for safe keeping, and now, two Of the
mob, residing in Middleport, one a
man named W. T. Campbell, Of the
Middleport Republican, and VIM.
Swisher, saloon keeper, were arrest

but this not being done, they were re-
leased on their own recognizance.

The Cincinnati Commercial ought
to be happy. The Dutch beer-swill-
ers are not only getting in their work
in Cincinnati, but they are obeying
the instructions of the Commercial in
other places. The following appeared
i'll the Commercial on Monday:
COLUMBUS, O., August 12.-John
Metzger, laborer, whose place Of
residence is at No. 40 Jackson street,
in the southern part Of the city, was
killed about 10 o'clock this evening
by his stepson, Geo. Wagner, a hoy
aged eighteen. 1t seems that Metz
ger, Wagner and another boy were
engaged in playing a game Of cards,
when some dispute arose, resulting in
Metzger putting Wagner out Of the
house. Wagner returned in a few
minutes with a dirk-knife, which he
plunged into Metzger's heart, severing
it in twain.
After committing the murder,
Wagner made his escape. The police
were notified and arrested George
Harmon, who furnished the knife
with which the bloody deed was done.
Young Wagner ran away, but shortly
afterwards returned, and was arrested.
He was taken to the city prison and
searched, but nothing was found on
his person which had been used by
him in committing the deed. In fact,
he denies that he cut his father.
When asked why he did not use his
own knife, he said he did not know he
had one, and that he gave the knife
he got from the Harmon boy to his
father, and then he started to run,
when his stepfather kicked him in the
back, and the accused said that a
knife came between him and the Har-
mon boy as they were running.
The prisoner, when brought out OF
the cell tonight, was under the inhu-
ence of liquor. The youngest son,
aged ten years, said that his brother
Charles did the cutting and that he
saw him do it. Strange as it may ap-
pear, there is not drop OF blood on
, the accused's clothes or person, but
his mothers hand and clothes are COW
cred with the blood of the murdered
, man.
The Coroner visited the house to-
f night, but held no inquest on account
? Of his inability to understand thu
, persons present, as they were Ger
mans. He will hold an inquest to
; morrow, when the children can all b.
, found, as they speak English.
The whole family have been in tn
F habit Of drinking, and the murde
was caused by the free use OF liquor.

ALEX. WEBER, German saloon
keeper Of Evansville, Indiana, was
found on Sunday morning, with his
wife and little son-all murdered.
The first man to discover the murder
was driver who was hauling beer to
the doggery on Sunday morning.

that melted his murder. '"They that

My DEAR FATHER:

July 21, 1882.
MY DEAR FATHER:
[ wrote you postal last night, and
mailed it this morning. Do not feel
uneasy if you do not hear from me
very often. We go from early morn
till late at night, and it is generally
about midnight when 1 write you.
suppose it is just in the cool Of
the evening now, at home, and If it is
pleasant weather you are sitting on
the veranda enjoying the moon and
stars. I do not like to think of you
eating watermelons; it is selfish in me;
but we do not have them here.
1t is intensely hot, but at night one
must not dare sleep with the window
open, for the hot and bad air coming
up is very bad. do not suppose we
are having any warmer weather here
than you in America, but the heat is
quite different-does not come out in
perspiration so much, but is weaken
ing and binding.
We are getting along nicely, and
standing it very well. We were at
Lucerne one day and two nights, had
a ride on the lake, and went to Vitz-
nan, small town on the Rigi; there
we took the car up the mountain
which took two hours. It was grand
-magnifcent-beyond my powers o1
description. We remained up there
about two hours, looking at the beau.
tiful snow mountains on one side, and
down to the towns on the lakes on the
other. From one place where we
stood we could see four lakes, and they
were the loveliest Of blue or green
The air on the mountain was delight
ful-not very cold, as expected, but
just refreshing. It is five thousand
feet above the level Of the sea. We
had nice little lunch Of bread and
cheese, (all taking beer but myself.
We took the car down the mountain
on an opposite side from the one we
went up. There we waited fifteen
minutes for a railway car to Andu-
matt, our next stopping place, and we
passed through fifty nine tunnels on
the way, some taking twenty minutes
The scenery along the way was grand
winding around the mountains, water
falls and rocks beneath.
