The great Prohibition APOSTLE. !

The great Prohibition apostle, A,
R. Ludlow, of Springfield, has this
to say of the amendment defeat:
"Had the election been a few days
sooner the amendment would doubt
less have carried. A revulsion of
feeling vas accomplished just a day
or two before the election by the
perfdy of Republican officials at
Columbus, n of whom, by the way,
is a Clark county man. Bushels OF
circulars Were sent throughout the
State, and, among other places, to
Clark county, cautioning people Lot
to vote for the Second Amendment,
because it would ruin the Republi.
can party. And yet the same man
whose signature appeared at the
bottom of the circulars was depend
ent for support upon his temperance
pretelsiOns.

The Lancaster Eagle voices The
sentiment of nearly every Democrat
in the State when it says:
ga word to the incoming Demo

a United States Senator; pass the
appropriation bills on the most
economical scale, consistent with the
public welfare; pass what few laws
are necessary and then adjourn. Do
all this within forty days and the re,
suit will be that Ohio will give the
Democratic candidate for President

Fred Douglass is very greatly but
needlessly alarmed concerning the
effect of the supreme courts civil
rights decision upon. the "seven
millions" of colored people in the
United States. The very number
which he cites ought to be powerful
enough to disarm his fears. With
ballots in their fists the seven mill
ions are able to take ample care of
their civil and political rights. If
they do not it is their W fault.
There are laws more potent for their
protection than the acts of congress
or decisions of the supreme court.

Progress of the South.

OF the SOutn
The Chicago Neacs says the his
tory of the past ten years in the
South has been a record of steady
and swift advance, "a is shown in the
New Orleans Times Democrat of a
late issue. That paper has publish
ed interviews with the Governors of
southern states, including the
border state of Kentucky, but exclud-
ing Missouri, Maryland, and Della
ware. Comparing the assessed val
uation of these states in 1879 with
that in 1888 it is seen that the in
crease in four years amounted to
$64O, 7O7, OPS. This is a fine show
ing, and it will be of interest to 60
behind the Times, Democrats figures
and ascertain for ourselves how this
increase is distributed throughout
the south.
In 1879 Kentucky was assessed as
the richest southern state, Virginia
came second, and Texas was third.
Georgia, Tennessee, Louisiana, and
North Carolina were respectively
fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh, as
they are now; South Carolina rank
ed eighth, and Alabama, Mississippi,
Arkansas, and Florida brought up
the .rear in the order given. That
was four year ago. Mark the chaunge'
Texas is now first, having added to
her wealth in that time $33, 100000
N ore than all the property in North
Carolina is worth, $103, 000, 600 more
than would buy the state of South
Carolina. $32, OO0, 600 more than the
Louisianians value their state and
its seaport at, aud more than foul
times the entire valuation of Florida
As compared with herself she ha:
gained 1910 per cent. Kentucky il
now second, and Virginia third
South Carolina is the only state tina
has actually lost. She has fallel
! from the eighth to the tenth place OIL
the list, as in the case Of Ksntuck,
and Virginia, in consequence OF tn
bounding prosperity Of sister state
not because of actual depreciation il
values, shows 1,69 per cent poore
than she was four years ago.
A glance at the ratio of develop
ment Will be interesting. This lis
is headed by Florida with 90.0l pc
cent increase in values. Texa
comes next, and is followed by tn
other states in the order given: Al
kansas, Georgia, Alabama, Mort
carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi
Kentucky Tennessee, and Virgini:
The figures relating to cotton
spinning shows an increase of 6
per cent. Besides this the cotto
crop has wonderfully increased, tn

No other complaints are SO insidious in their
attack as those affecting the throat and lungs:
none so trifed with by the majority of suffer-

perhaps from a trifing or unconscious ex-
posture, is often but the beginning of a fatal
sickness. AYERS CHERRY PICTORIAL has
well proven its efficacy in a forty years fight
with throat and lung diseases, and should be
taken in all cases without delay.
