tan principles. Every member of al
orthodox body of Christians ha
subscribed to them. They are re
ligious principles, pertaining to eter-
nifty and the eternal welfare of souls
Church members have also sub
scrlbed to and endorsed that doc
trlne. Now, you are asked to aban
these principles, sacred as they are
and endorse the drunkenness, pros
family and wickedness in public and
high places, of L. G. Houk! And
every church member who votes fol
Houk, knowing of his drunkenness
and debauchery, has to abandon
these religious principles in order to
do it. And all know it who will hear
The evidence has beenplaced be-
fore all.
We know this is strong saying,
but it is true. Wriggle, squirm and
excuse yourself as you may, it is
true, and can be placed on no other
grounds. But here are words strong
er, quoted from the Holy Book:
Isaiah V, 20-24 -'Woe unto them
that call evil good and good evil
that put darkness for light and light
for darkness that put bitter for
sweet and sweet for bitter Woe
unto them that are wise in their own
eyes and prudent in their own sight!
Woe unto them that are mighty to
drink wine, and men of strength to
mingle strong drink; which justify
the wicked for reward, ar d take away
the righteousness of the righteous
from him! Therefore, as the fire de-
voureth the stubble and the flame
consumeth the chaf, so their root
shall be rottenness and their blossom
shall go up as dust; because they
have cast away the law of the Lord
of Hosts, and despised the word of
the Holy One Of Israel"
Allow US now to ask: Are any of
our church members justifing a
drunken blasphemer for reward i?
Are there any supporting such a
character for high and honorable
position, hoping to obtain pension,
war claim or an office? Have any
such called him good man, and ats
tempted to keep his drunkenness in
the dark? Are there any such who
call his bitter sweet? Are there any
who have DETAINED the name Of a
good man in order to keep the evil of
a wicked man in the dark? If there
are such, woe has been pronounced
upon you, and your fathers have read
it. We now hold these words up be-
fore your eyes and ask you to pom
der them well, and "Wash We, make
you clean; put away the evil of
your doings from before mine eyes;
cease to do evil; learn to do well.
"Prove all things; hold fast that
which is good. Abstain from all APP
pearance of evil. For God hath
not callad us unto uncleanliness, but
unto holiness.
Let church members stand to their
sacred, eternal principles. Do not
desert your God and follow a drunk
en- political boss Your religious
principles are more sacred than all
else. Do not treat them lightly.

UNTIL towards evening, election day
was one of the most delightful days of
tie season-i1kt such an one as ordina-
riiy gladdens the hearts of Republicans.
Ii was an omen that there would be a
full Republican vote and a grand vic
tory. The Returns show in Belmont
county fuller vote than last year, but
they do not bear out so far as the county
is concerned the idea that full vote
always means Republican victory be
cause the increase this year corresponds
almost with the Democratic gain. The
county was carried last year by IA ma
jority; this year it goes against the
Republican candidate for Secretary of
State SO and 10 against the Republican
member of the Board of Public Works,
which probably is better index to the
party strength than on any other candl-
date. In Bellaire City and Pultney
township alone, the Democratic gain was
l57. which is within a few votes of the
entire Democratic gain. Republicans
lose 81 in Flushing, 25 in Richland, 81 in
Smith, Z in Union, and 10 in Wheeling,
and gain 9 in Kirkwood, 50 in Pease, Is
in Warren, 3 in Washington, 6 in
Wayne, and in York.
Considering the decentralization of the
party caused by the lack of support and
vindictive opposition of a number of
heretofore leading Republicans, especial
ly in st. Clairsville and Bellaire, to the
election of the Republican nominee for
Congress, the result in the county is
much. more satisfactory than was ex-
pected. Had there been IA united front
and earnest work for the entire ticket,
there might have been clean sweep.
As it is. the chief place on the county
ticket was captured by the Republicans.
and also the Coroner's Office, for all of
which the Republicans this year should
be thankful.

To OVERCOME q plurality of over "a,
900, and pile up a majority such as the
Democrats have done, is victory which
will carry JOY to every Democratic
heart, so long uncheered by victory in
Ohio elections. Chairman Thompson is
on top, and restored to all his old time
prestige in his party, and his services in
the campaign will not fail to receive the
substantial recognition they deserve.
There will be no lack of reasons given
to account for this result. At this time
and in the undigested mass of returns
received. it is impossible to anaiyze the
vote sufficiently to see where the losses
have been the greatest. and we can
therefore give no intelligent idea of the
situation beyond what is conveyed in
the above figures.
But we cannot admit that the people
of Ohio have deliberately given this as
their verdict on that which we regarded
as the main issue in the campaign. 1t
must not be forgotten that the Demo
Gratis industriously strove to keep the
temperance issue out of their canvass.
which lulled the law and order Demo
Gratis into false security, while their
allies, the saloon keepers, were engaged
in the most vigorous efforts to bring all
their friends to the polls, in support of
that party which they looked upon as
their friend.
The Republicans based their hopes of
success on an increased vote in the rural
districts, but the returns indicate that
the rural voters, in the quiet and secu-
rity of their homes, were unmOved by
the stories of the havoc which the liquor
traffic worked in the cities, and neglect
ed to go to the polls. fact which ena-
5leti the lew safe,oii !sSeepers in the vii
lagos to get in their work on the floating
vote and the hesitaiing voters with ter
rible effect.
The part the Prohibiti0nists have
played in the campaign cannot yet, be
told with accuracy. If they have polled
the vote their leaders claimed IN the
State they are directly responsible fol
| the defeat, and they will, if they are
honestly seeking reform, regret Their
action before another year rolls round
for it will be found to have retarded the
temperance movement in Ohio ten
years.-O. S. journal.

THE Gazette SAYS the Smith Sunday
law was made especially for Cincinnati,
Cleveland and Columbus, "but in nei
ther Of those cities do the Republican
satharities enforce it" s
The election is past, and whatever
harm this declaration did can not now
be helped; but we desire to set this mat
ter right, and to call public attention to
this discreditable method of lo.itical
warfare.
/. The so-called Smith law is the result
of the open and shameless disregard of
the Sabbath day in Cincinnati. For
years Vine street, from one end to the
other. paid no attention whatever to the
day; indeed. it was noisier day on that
than any day of the week. Twelve or
fifteen squares are occupied almost sole
| ly by drinking saloons. including one or
two large beer gardens, and several the
aters of very low order. In the latter,
performances were given twice day on
Sunday. Drinks were peddled over the
houses, and the noise of the drunken
rabble gathered within them, and of the
bands together, made the nuisance un-
bearable. So with the great beer gar
dens on Mount Adams, Prices Hill, and
elsewhere. The city had become a yer-
liable SodOnl, and was a areproach TO our
civilization. Theaters throughout the
city were open, and bands of music,
balloon ascensions from the hill top
beer gardens and Geological garden, and
every species of racket calculated to at
tract crowds of people, was resorted to.
In no other city of the country, perhaps,
was so little regard paid to the rights OF
those who wished to spend q quiet day
at home or at church. No such excess
es were INDUCED in at Cleveland, Colum-
bus, or any other city in Ohio, or in the
country, and Cincinnati alune, made
such law necessary. 80
IL The Mayor of Cincinnati isa Dem
ocrat, and the police of the city are
mainly Democrats. The Judge OF the
Police Court, before whom viOlaters Of
that law are arraigned, is a Republican.
We believe Mayor Means desires the en-.
fOrcement of the law, and that no rea-
sonable complaint can be made against
him in that respect. All men who read
the Cincinnati papers know that Judge
Higley has made determined efforts to
enforce that law, but because of the dis
agreements of juries has labored under
great difficulties; but the newspaper
that, for partisan purposes, would have
the public believe no effort was made to
enforce it is doing violence to the intel
Iligence of its readers. The law is not
enforced as it should be, but it is no
fault of the authorities that it is not.
That the prosecutions and convictions
that have been had have improved af-
fairs, however, there is no doubt.

THE COMET SPEEDING AWAY.
Prof Sharpless Gives Some Interest
ing Data of the Celestial Visitor.

Philadelphia Times.
Cruls comet, which during the past
three, weeks, has caused numbers OF
Philadelphians to keep remarkably late
hours, is speeding out of sight ri the
rate of two and half million miles a
day. The announcement made yester-
day that the nucleus had separated into
three fragments resulted In some little
speculation as; to whether the fragments
would scatter and travelin different di-
rections, a performance which. Is not
unknown to comets: As in this event
the chances of collision with some of
those planets which lead less vagabOnd
lives would be multiplied by three, the
question was thouhgt to be important.
: Prof. Sharpless, of Hayerford College,
remarked that he was notcertaiu wheth-
er it had ever been seen before, although
it very much resembled the comet of
ls4S. 1t had not caused any change in
the temperature of our atmosphere. As
it is rapidly leaving the earth the cham
ces OF its doing anything to distinguish
itself before it is entirely lost to sight
are rather remote. Technically speak
ing" he said, 1.-The position of the visitor
is: Ascension, 10 hours "a minutes: de-
clination; o degrees south.:r Its distance
from the earth is one hundred million
miles, or in other words, ten million
miles further than the distance of the
sun. Far as this may seem plenty of
stars exist one Thousand times as many
miles away. 1t will probably be visible
for two or three weeks more. A After this
time it may disappear, never to be seen
a ain by the inhabitants of this globe,
ur it may pay us another visit in two or
three years and then fall into the sun.
Atprcsent the farther'it gets from the
sun the slower it goes. On September
II it came within ninety million miles
of the earth and within one hundred
thousand miles Of the sun. This is the
| nearest it has been to either of these bo-
dies 1t is cGnjectured that If 10 were
to be drawn intD the sun n great deal
of heat would be felt0n the earth, but
/ this caunot be spoken of with certainty.
AS for its composition, it is made up OF
sodium, carbon and a number of other
| elements lt'may be one solid mass or
a collection of solid humps like stones at
tracted to one center. 1t is not known

earth. the best time to see it is be-
tween four and Eve O'clock in the MORN

Iconclusively accounted for. The tail,
however, is a sort of atmosphere on
which the light probably shines. . 20
