MILWAUKEE, Sept 19.-The fourteenth

army of the Cumberland was opened

The moose was adjusted, the black cap
pulled over his head. and the sheriff gave
the signal TO spring the trap, and the body,
with drop of six feet, swung of into the
air. On the scaffold he said: Il have

and at 2:2S the body was cut down.

Liquor Dealers Convention.
A GLOOMY REPORT.

CHICAGO, Sept. 19.--At the liquor
dealers and saloon keepers convention
to-day at Rock Island, the trustees re-.
port was presented, showing the results
of the past years work 1t takes a
gloomy view of the adostion by Iowa
of the prohibition amendment; of
Kansas fidelity to St. John; Nebraska's
prohibition tendency; Missouri's mar
row escape and of the growing of pro-
hlbition in the south. They say their
society is like feeble victim of this
robbery of democratic government,
constitutionality and Individual lib
erty. They attribute these
prohibition successes to sloth
and inactivity. The business of Hi
nois is threatened. The board has
been organizing and doingpolitical and
legal work. The services of Rev. G. C.
Buerwell, of Ia, and other lecturers have
been secured. This kind of agitation
is deemed wisest and the board recon-
mend that means be provided to con-
tinue it. There has been large gain
in the number of local societies and an
increase of forty per cent in
membership has been reported.
The Chic ago Wholesale liquor
dealers organization has been
disrupted, and that class show little
interest in the maintenance of a
powerful organization. They must be
aroused. The membership in the state
is 1,773, increase during the year, 534
The tables show that hall of the cities,
villages and towns of Illinois have been
won by prohibitionists. This is an
alarming fact. The election of Judge
Craig to the supreme court of the fifth
district was triumph fer the liquor ia
terests. The electisn of members of the
legislature requires active work in
November. They recommend another
construction to be secured from the
supreme court of the dram shop act.
A movement to that end is now inaug-
urated. The treasury has several
thousand dollars receipts for the year
tor disbursement. They conclude that
they favor a proper license system
which shall make the trade respectable.

THOSE Britons who have been regard
ing the Duke of Counaught as a central
figure of the Egyptian campaign, and
who have been surprised at not observ
ing much account of his proves at Tel
e[Kebir, will be glad to note that one
correspondent has not forgotten him,
and reports him to have been very
cool in the heat of the battle. A second
striking incident of the engagement is
that "Lieut. Gordon Cary, who had
been wounded, killed with his clay
more three Egyptian officers who set
upon him" Arabs men knew that
they had to meet shells, but probably
they did no! expect to be attacked with

The Saratoga Sauabble.

SARATOGA, Sept. 19.-Collector Rob-
ertson, of New York, was telegraphed
to come on by the supporters of Secre-
tary Folger. Congressman Skinner
has been brought forward as candid
ate for governor.
The leaders and prominent candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for governor are busy making converts.
Rumors of disaffection are circulated
round the hotels, but inquiry failed to
substantiate the reports. 1t is gener-
ally conceded that should every candi-
date mentioned be presented to the
convention, Cornell will lead, with
Folger very poor second,
Wood, Starin, Robinson, etc, are mere
ly kept in the field on the expectation
that dark horse is amongst them.
The Skinner boom was started with the
intention of dividing the Wadsworth
host. 1t failed when its object was dis
covered. Plans for the organization of
the convention were received by Wads-
worth. People from both Cornell and
Foiger were leaders. The former sug-
gested the name of State Treasurer Pitts
temporary chairman and Ellis H. Rob
erts for permanent chairman. His
cock for permanent chairman, was
named by the Folger people. The
Wadsworth people called meeting,
and about fifty delegates responded.
1t was decided unanimously to accept
the proposition of the Cornell people,
and the state committee to-
morrow morning, will name a
temporary chairman. Contests for
lieutenant governor, judge of the court
of appeals and congressman-at-large
have been dwarfed by the contest for
governor. The Dutchess county dele
gator (10), it is reported, agreed to
support Folger if B. Platt Carpenter re-
ceives the nomination for lieutenant
governor.

Cost of the Star Route Trials.

The published figures representing
the cost of the star route trial to
certain extent are misleading. To Mr..
Bliss s19 .251.60 has been paid. Mr..
Bliss has worked between fifteen and
eighteen months. Probably $4,000
would not be above his pay for that
period, not including expenses. Nor
would this be excessive, for that gentle
man has given his whole time to the
government. Considering that to a
great extent he has abandoned his
practice at home, 5000 a month or
800 day-which is the understood
rate Of his pay-would not make him
whole. That Mr.. Bliss has labored
faithfully and continuously there is no
disputing. That he should receive as
much as would be his ordinary income
in his regular business ought to be con-
ceded.
The payment to Mr.. Merrick OF
5000 was probably the retaining fee
To be safe make il $25 600 to him, and
at least $4,000 to Mr.. Ker. To which
add $12 600 actually paid to Cook and
Gibson, and we have the sum total TO
lawyers Of 100000. To these fees
should be added the cost Of regiment
of detectives. Then the cost of bring
ing witnesses long distances and their
per diem and expenses-in all prob
ably not less than $4,000. 1t has been
estimated to be much above that. To
this almost endless expenses in smaller
items should be added. The guess that
the star route case has thus far cost
the government. $300,0 is therefore
not above the fact. The unknown
quantity besides the above items may
Of itself represent 100000.
IF it has cost the government $780,
900 what has il cost the defendants?
On that side there are fully twice as
many lawyers as the government en-
pIoys. Some of them kave worked as
Bliss has worked, and for ssimilar
period have done little else than look
after the case. Some of the defend
ants have been able to stand heavy
drafts; others were not at the start able
to put up respectable retainer. So
that the immense expense has been
borne by small number of persoEs,
unless, indeed, the star routers of the
country have made common cause.
The draft on Brady and Dorsey has
been the heaviest.
Considering that the end Is not yet,

A cory of the Var Cry, the official
organ of the Salvation Army" is be-
fore us. 1t is published in Philadel-
phia, consists of four pages, costs three
cents, and is full.of hysterical accounts
of the dolngs of the army. To any
man whose religious faith and feelings
are vacred to him, this publication can
not but be source of oflcnse. How
ever earnest the soldiers of the Saliva
ton Army may be-and we believe
they are earnest-good taste is assured
~ not one of their characteristics, and
the Var Cry is calculated to excite de-
rislon. For example: Great day at
New York. Major was there. SO was
Jesus. Both worked for souls" Again,
i'll I'm aCcout of meeting ut Manches-
ter, Conn; God came upon us. One
soldier clutched the hair of the next
comrado and off came the entire scalp
i'll her hand and revealed a bare head.
The soldier dropped the scalp. but kept
hold on God. The scalped soldier
shouted to God anything to Jesus.
This was but sign that God was going
to remove the covering from the eyes
of the people" We need not multi
ply examples, but surely such language
rs this, though not meant irreverentiy,
is likely to create irreverence i'll others
