Foreign Goods: an experienced Buyer from
their House visiting the various European
Markets twice year, and making their pur
chases direct from the manufacturer, thus
saving to our customers the profit made by
an Importer when he sells to the Jobber or
Wholesale House, and also the profit made
by the Wholesale Dealer when he sells TO the
Retailer. Whereas, i'll dealing. with us, there
is but one profit between the Manufacturer
and our customers.
We keep on hand a very large and varied
stock embracing Goods of every class, from

ticle that would be dear at any price only

Prohibition PatriOtism-FOurth
of July Temperance Rallies.

1t is fact to be noted with re-
ioicing and most pleasurable en-
couragements, that the "Day we
Celebrate" is being so largely de-
voted to the cause of Prohibition.
Huge Temperance Mass Meet
ings, Temperance Camp Meetings
and Pic-nics are being held to-day
. and addressed by distinguished
patriot orators, in all parts of the
country, in every State throughout
the land
While Mrs. Foster, of Iowa,
Rev. Thompson, of New York, DR..
Smith and others are addressing
West Virginians at Moundsvil.e
Camp Grounds, on this "Temper-
ance Day" of the Kansas and Mis-
souri, Sunday School Assembly, in
Forest Park, Ottawa, Kansas, the
multitudes are being moved by
such national leaders as Governor
st. John, of Kansas, Governor Col
quit, of Georgia, Senator B. Gratz
Brown, of Missouri, and others.
Hon. John B. Finch, of Nebraska,
is arousing the masses in Ohio, and
coming down to more local demon
strations, Rev. J. W. Carter speaks
at Temperance Rally at Belpre,
o., others are at Volcano, and DIR.
Warner is leading charge in a
flank movement out in an adjoin-
ing county, and so all over the
country, might we continue to
enumerate Temperance demonstra-
tons arranged for this Fourth of
July 1888.
Verify is the fight coming on and
the engagement becoming general
The battle cry of
''PRoHIBITIoN'
is being shouted all along the lines,
and right soon shall the Nation
christen another Independence Day,
when
FREEDOM FROM THE LIQUOR TYRANT,
shall be proclaimed throughout the
land, and all the people shall re-
ioice, and together chant the
National songs of Liberty and So
briefly.

Editorial Brutality.

The two Richmond editors
Bierne and Elan, who like a couple
of irate bull-pups have been chasing
each other around back yards and
across lots for a week trying to
satisfy their "honah"by perforating
their epidermises, got together at
last at New Hope, Augusta Co., Va,
Oh Saturday. At the second shot
Elam fell with a, flesh wound in the
thigh, and of course, this wiped out
all the stain of their having mutu-
ally disgraced themselves with the
epithets of "liar," "scoundrel," &c.
The proper think to do now would
be to gather together the whole
crowd, principals, seconds, surgeons
and all, and place them in the
States cooling institution till their
brutal natures should give place to
true manhood and a loftier courage
than a cowardly pistol shot could
ever reach.

Will 1t Go Up?

The saloon keepers attorneys adj
wise the carrying of the Scott Law
to the Supreme Court Of the United
States for final decision.
The Commercial Gazette Of recent
date says:
"The Saloon keepers Protective
Association held meeting last
night at Arbeiter Hall, which was
attended by about 400 members,
at which measures were
passed, looking to an appeal. The
tax will be paid under protest, and
the general impression is that the
decision of the Supreme Court IS
not final.

Law-Defying Councils.

There was dance in our yil-
lage (Ceredo) last week and liquor
flowing rather freely, shortened up
the services, and afterwards a good
portion Of the night was spent IN
drinking, carousing and brawls. A
proper enforcement of the laws
would have resulted in caglng
some Of the staggering and noisy
gents Wayne Aduocate.
How can you expect good order
when your law-defying town Coun-
Gil sell out to few other lawvio-
lators, the emoluments of drunk
enness and debauchery, for 500 a
year? With illegal saloonists be-
hind illegal licenses, manufactur-
ing devilment with illegal whis-
ky, it is worse than folly to talk
about enforcing the laws.

Perturbed.

Some of our good Republican
friends are seriously purturbed over
the appointment of Judge Fergu-
son, a Democrat, to assist the
Governments attorney in the
steamboat cases. Brother Morris,
of the Gazette, is especially distress
ed about it.
While Republicans are SO severe
ly criticising our Governor, and we
think justly, for appointing Demo-
Gratis only as University Regents, it
i'll becomes them to assail the
Government for calling to its aid a
Democratic lawyer, if competent.
What would the Gazette think of
judges Stealey and Jackson, were
they, in their appointments to
prosecute and defend criminals, to
recognize none but Democratic tai
ent at the bar?

Inherent "Ornryness.'

There is perhaps nowhere that
the inherent "ornryness" of hui
man nature crops out with such
nasty boldness as is frequently seen
in the persistent efforts of sundry
town councils, not only to defy the
prayers of all the good people of
the community, in their corrupt
pandering to the liquor traffic, but
to override all law in their swift
ness to sell out the peace and we'll
fare Of the town. But this is Just
like the miserable business in all
its miserable doings.
This, from the Wayne Advocate,
instances case of the "ornryness'
referred to:
"The question Of the legality o.
the liquor licenses issued by the
Town Council of Ceredo, without
the consent of the County Court,
will likely again be raised. The
Grand Jury at this term having
indicted parties selling under such
licenses"
The proper thing to do would be
to indict the Town Council.

THE eleven" AND FOURTEEN. ?
The FREEMAN has brought them
with it to the Convention, and in
sists that it is the Convention s i'm
perative duty to devise measures
whereby it shall be made impos-
sible that any eleven senators and
fourteen delegates shall ever again
be elected-FREEMAN.
A most supremely illiberal and
uncharitable sentiment truly,
worthy of the blacklist days of the
Holy Inquisition.-Ritchie Demo-
crat.
What right has an editor to
speak of "liberality" or Charity"
after cutting brothers sentence
in two in the middle and making
nonsense of either half of it?
We said whereby it shall be
made impossible that any eleven
senators and fourteen delegates
shall ever again be elected to ignore
the prayers and defy the will Of the
people," That's what we said, Bro.
Zevely, and aoe sag 1t again, and you
ought to be ashamed for leaving off
that clause of our sentence.

Ohio Democracy.

The Ohio Democracy at their re-
cent State Convention at Columbus,
re-adopted, with wonted fondling
embraces, the same old time sunsp-
tuary baby that has brought solace
to the party in so many hours of
sadness.
The Democrats and Republicans
are, as usual, putting in their time
"sassing" each other on the liquor
question and swearing at the Tenn
perance people for "poking it" into
politics. AS to the difference be-
tween the two party platforms on
the one question that concerns the
people, it is about the same as the
difference between "tweedle-dum
and tweedle-dee," The "dum" of
the Republicans lies in their de-
claring in favor of taxing the traffic
for revenue, and the ''dee" of the
Democrats is for license for regula-
ton, and balanced by the conscience
of true prohibitionists the "dum"
is if possible worse than the "dee."
So far as the platforms are con-
cerned Ohio Temperance men are
left without choice between the
two parties, one of which must be
suffered to control the State for a
while yet, at least. And now the
thing for the Tenn perance people
of the State to do, is to turn their
whole and undivided attention to
carrying the Prohibition Amend
ment. This is all there is worth
fighting for, but surely this is
worth the biggest fight ever made
on Ohio soil.
All minor differences should be
passed by and forgotten, and the
largest possible vote be secured fol
Prohibition.
Let the two corrupt parties handy
names and epithets and toss sugar.
plums to the saloonists for the Ger
man vote, but let not moment be
lost with Temperance men anc
women in their work of rallyine
every vote for the Second PROPOSE
ton, in behalf of their boys anc
their homes.

Three Great Powers.

The Commercial Gazette says:
THE liquor traffic is not likely
to be suppressed immediately"
True enough, that. But it says
further:
"The experiments in Kansas and
Iowa look as if the suppression OF
the Republican party, if it should
identify itself with Prohibition,
would come before the abolish
ment Of the liquor traffic"
AS to this last prognostication,
it is very sure that if the party re-
fuses to hear the People for Prohi-
bition, it is doomed. Either the
liquor traffic, or one of the two
great pa rites must 60 down. These
three great powers cannot much
longer exist together, and it is for
the party leaders to say whether
the liquor power shall go or one Of
the parties, and whiah one.
The Temperance people are
fighting whisky, and are not lying
awake o nights bothering as to the
fate Of either party.

The Temperance Cause What
Are You Putting Into 1t!

of a benevolent or business character
is graduated by his readiness to put
money into it. If he is Christian,
having an interest in the spread Of
the Gospel and faith in the security
offered in the Bible, he will invest
literally in the enterprises Of the
Church.
If he is an honest Republican or
Democrat, having faith III the
special tenets of his party, he will
contribute of his means for legiti-
mate party purposes.
II he is friend of Education, ap-
preciating its value to the COM
munity in which he lives, he will
approve the building of school
houses and pay his school taxes
cheerfully.
If he believes railroad will add
to the welfare of his town, he will
subscribe to it's stock with no hope
of any dividend in kind. Just SO,
if he is true Temperance man, he
will put something into the Tenn
perance cause. Do you ask, What :?
What can a man do to further the
cause of Temperance and sobriety,
and lessen the crimes, sorrows and
sufferings found all along the dark
highway of the liquor traffic? We
answer first:
PUT YOUR HEART INTO IT.
If your heart will only go down
into the awful facts of the traffic,
and get warmed into feeling by the
hot soul-agonies, that as by furnace
of hell, are continually kindled
and fed by the saloons in your midst,
the next step will be to
PUT YOUR MONEY INTO IT.
A crowd, after seeing a poor
neighbours house go up in flames,
were all expressing feelings of sym
pathy and pity for the poor man in
his misfortune. An Irishman,
whose pocket was next to his heart,
out with a five dollar bill, saying,
"Here me frinds-I pity the poor
mon five dollars worth now come
along-let's see how much yes all
pity him." And the houseless
neigh Dor was soon provided for.
So should be our sympathy for
the countless victims of this raging
alcoholic conhagaration that is lay
ing waste our fair land and burning
alive so many of our fellows. Little
use to stand by, saying, you pity
these, your neighbors, as you see
them writhing and raging in the
agonies Of deIirium tremens, while
you refuse to give a penny for their
relief or salvation.
AS money provided the houseless
man with new home, so money is
needed to save your boy and my
boy from a worse fire than that
which consumes the timber, brick
and mortar of our earthly homes.
The fire that threatens our boys
burns soul and body past all repair,
and the only time to save them is
before the fire touches them.
The battle is raging between the
saloonists and Temperance people,
to settle the question whether the
on-sweeping progress of this fire
shall be stayed before our boys are
destroyed. If you are on the side
of the saloonist in the struggle, let
it so be known, and may the Lord
have mercy on you!
If you are on the side of the
Temperance people and for the
boys, we beg you will show it-show
your interest and faith as you prove
your Interest in other enterprises

ton is TO have two Senator's The bill
was drawn by Ignatius Grubb, Esq,
and makes Wilmington an election dis
trict. The conference that agreed to the
bill was principally composed Of Demo

names as K. K. Cochran, II. b. McIn-
tire, Harry Sharpley, II. X. Penning-
