FEATURES OF THE STATE PRESS.

will help him.

the increasing prevalence of infanticide in
that city.

The Easton Express has an idea that
Mrs Langtry's adventures in this country,
if frankly told, would make lively read

The Norristown Register is confident
the Republicans of Pennsylvania must
begin to feel sorry that they adopted any
platform at all.
The York Age suspects that the dear
people will forego the pleasures of the
lecturer, tho discourse of the minister, the
drama and nearly everything else during
the hot term except good dinner. a cool
drink and a daily newspaper.
The Reading Neaos announces that one
of the results of the Chicago railway ex-
position which will be hailed with delight
by travellers, is the discovery of an engine
that will burn coke, and thus avoid the
nuisance of smoke and SCOT.
The Franklin Repository thinks it
would be we'll for the members of the
Legislature to provide themselves with
photographs of the state buildings at
Harrisburg before they adjourn, as many
of them will never see them again.
With reference to the last Republican

GARFIELD bargained away the high
offices and fat pickings of the govern.
ment to raise the moneys needed to buy
his election ; and when he so disreputa-
bly, got his prize he was killed. One
would say that it was just retrlbution,
but for the fact that in his taking off he
was more fortunate even than in his
lucky life. 1t gave him chance to
figure as a martyr and to have sweet
SAVIOR in the nostrils of all the gullible
people in the country, who could not see
what a weak and fallible fellow was
masquerading under the robes of his
high office. History bids fair, however,
to expose him as the sorry knave be las.

THE Philadelphia Ledger says:

From all appearances, when the time
comes for the adjournment of the Penn.
sylvania Legislature, it will be immersed
in the strong contempt of the people of
the state. The good name it once had has
been covered with obloquy by the acts Of
Gus, in both the political parties, who have
foresworn themselves by substituting
and their oaths to obey both.
The Ledger should furnish a bill of par
ticulars and show, if it can, wherein the
Democratic members have foresworn
themselves or asked anything that was
not reasonable.

The Cholera.

Asiatic cholera is disease that
is dreaded with good reason, and
the breaking out of an epidemic of
it in Egypt may we'll be regarded
with grave apprehen8ions. Only
the most stringent precautions can
prevent the carrying of the infec-
ton to England, and thence to this
country, yet the health authorities
of England do not seem yet to be
awake to the danger. Cholera is
one of the diseases that sanitary
science has learned how to prevent,
but medical science can do little
to cure it. Hence the Importance
of quarantine precau ions is very
great, and the more rigid they are
the better. The time to lock the
stable door is before the horse is
stolen. The disease is reported al

4 Call for a National Conference at
Lake Bluff, august 24th-27h.

Room 10, 81 WASHINGTON ST.,
CHICAGO, ILL, July 10, 'S3.
70 Friends Of Prohibition:
During the last year several per-
sons in different States have
spoken of National Conference as
something very desirable. Very
strong reasons exist for such meet
ing this year. One of these is so
forcible, that if there were no 9TH
ers it would justify the attempt to
hold such a Conference. When the
principle of Prohibition is before
the people to be voted on, MAORI
ty are found to favor it; but when
it is attempted to concrete this
principle in Party, and make it
practical, only few are ready to
support the effort. This illogical
and contradictory condition Of
things calls for explanation, A
patient and courteous study of the
reasons, is much more valuable
than angry denunciation. Then
it is fact that even those who
favor Party action lack that unity
of method which is the harbinger
of success. A Conference would
greatly aid those who give the
greatest amount Of time, thought
and money to the Temperance Re-
form.
We the undersigned therefore
unite to ask the friends of Prohibi
ton to attend Conference at Lake
Bluff August 24th-27th. This is
not a Convention, made up of Dele
gates, whose action represents the
party appointing them. Persons
may be delegated or not; but
friends of Prohibition who reside
in States where there is no Party
organization, are particularly re-
quested to be present at this Con-
ference. 1t is their special oppor-
tunitv, which a convention could
not afford, and they will greatly
aid in pointing out the best means
to secure Prohib, ton in their re-
spective States. We hope to see
the members of the Committees of
the States already organized, as

ready to have made its appearance
in Europe, and great epidemic
can be prevented only by prompt
and stringent measures. There
need be no alarm as regards our
own country if our quarantine reg
ulations are properly enforced, and

TO THE COMMITTEE.

I have only time to say that in
my humble opinion, our success,
(after praying the Blessing of
Heaven on all our efforts) largely
depends on our active, earnest and
energetic agitation of the subject
before the masses by "Tongue and
PEN"
We have God and the People with
us if we can only get them (the
people, stirred up to feel that they
are indeed their brothers. keeper SO
that they will act and vote for The
cause.
And to reach the masses in this
Heaven-born cause, we must as in
the other glorious Gospel scheme,
90 preach the Gospel to every
creature, and how can they preach
unless they be sent and how can
they be sent unless those to whom
God has intrusted the means, will
show their faith by their work.
and give of their means to support
this Gospel of Temperance that
shall bring Liberty to SO many Cap
tiues and joy-O, the joy to so many
aueeping wives and mothers, and to
show my faith by my works, pro-
pose to be one of one hundred to
give ten dollars each to pay, under
the authority and regulations of
the State Executive Committee,
some live agent salary to CANVASS
and organize the State.
T. R. CARsKADDoN.
P.S. Would it not be a good
idea to set up the ten dollar propo-
sition in the FREEMAN and see
who will respond, and who the
friends of Temperance are. If;nec-
essary, l will be one of fifty to give
twenty dollars each for agents sal
airy.

The jamestown Alert makes the fol.
lowing editorial comments on the acts OF
the authorities in connection with the
capital matter.
AS will be seen by the dispatch from

between the executive and iudicial
branches of the territorial government.
This is an unfortunate state of affairs
and cannot avoid bringing humiliation
upon either tie governor or the court

the decision was made public in which
time the governor had ample time, If he
had been so disposed, to have recalled

over the question has not been dispute!

any one as We have contended from the
first, and as Secretary Teller urges, the
decision of the court is the law until re-
versed by higher tribunal. S1ch a
conflict of authority as this can result
only in evil and will serve to bring re-
proach upon the territory. 1t places the
capital movers in the attitude OF over
riding the law. It is a matter which
will ultimately be determined by the

to hold all collateral questions III obey.

course can only initiate against Bis

not warrant it. The Sioux Fals conven.
