The Happening Of the Unexpected.

The best thing that Mr.. Blaine
ever did for his party-the only SER
vice which it was his good fortune
to render to his country-was when
he smashed the unit rule 10 the Re-
publican Convention of 1880. The
welfare Of the country, the best in
terests of his party, and his own
ambition coincided as he struck
the third term conspiracy. Did he
Imagine then that in four years
John A. Logan. one Of the princi
pals in that conspiracy, would be
running on the same ticket with
him, and that Grant would be q
bankrupt in business and in poll
tics p?
How little could he imagine then
that the same unit rule by which
the majority of the Republican Con-
ven ion, refused to abide would, four
years later, be tamely accepted by q
Democratic Convention, and would
be used to force to the head Of the
Democratic party man of whom at
that time he had probably never
heard! ,ss, ,-l-s >

Vest and west.

An agent from Philadelphia fo,
the distribution of photographs OF
the G:eenback candidates for Presi-
dent and Vice President, Butler and
West, called yesterday at the Office
Of the new Greenback organ in this
city and exhibited elgrossed sam
pies, but on arriving here 10 was as
certained that the photograph OF
Butler vas correct, but that the pho
tograph of Senator Vest, Of Missou-
ri, was by bluf1er substituted for
that of A. NJ. West, of Holly
Springs, Miss. The names Of But
ler and West are properly given,
but MIR. Vests picture instead of
Vests figures as that of the Green
back Vice-President. The agent
stated that 1000, 900 copies have al
ready been put in circulation in the
country and 25O,OOO have been for.
warded to California. II
The way the mistake occurred
was this: The artists who engrav-
ed the portraits telegraphed to Chi
cago for Vests photograph, and the
name Of West being mistaken for
that of Vest, the latters picture was
procured and sent on. This foreign
pronunciation of V for w is . good
joke on West.-Nissour, Repubi-

Prohibition Does Not Prohibit
N Improvement.

The town of Senatobia, on the
Mississippi and Tennessee railroad,
in Tate county, Mississippi, used
to be place where whisky held
high carnival, and the number OF
its saloons was many. In January
last, under special act of the Leg,
lslature, prohibitory law was ap-
piled to that county and the liquor
traffic was stopped-saloons we're
closed, and the festive yell Of the
druDkard no longer vexed the Md
night air. Or course whisky men
contended that this would ruin the
town. Now mark the effect. On
last Saturday gentleman Of high
character and respectability, who
had just come from Senatobia was
in Winona. He stated that there
were len new houses in the course
Of erection in Senatobia nova
greater number than have been in
process OF construction at the same
time for ten years past. Thus does

10Y Prohibition Ruins q Town.

The following from the Iowa State
Register gives correct idea Of the
effects of prohibition. What the re-
suit has been in Des Moines it will
be in every place where the traffic is
stopped:
"Des Moines merchants report a
noticeable and gratifying increase of
cash sales since prohibition went in
to effect. Many customers who have
heretofore had no money when max
ing purchases are this week paying
cash for all they buy. At least .
half million and perhaps full mil
lion dollars were paid for drinks
now prohibited in Des M0ines last
year. All this money will now go
into the hands Of the merchants or
be spent in building homes or in
improving the property of those
who for years past have been spend
ing their, savings in the low dog
Igeries while their wives and chill
'dren were deprived Of the necessary
provisions and clothing to make life
comfortable and happy"

1t is a singular fact that the ma
jority of Southern statesmen(?) who
Low SO zealously advocate a free
trade policy were only short time
ago bitterly opposed to the introduc-
tion of Chinese into the country to
compete with native labor. How
they explain this Inconsistency to
themselves is not known. Perhaps
the convention smoothed out that
wrinkle. These men are on record
as bitterly opposed to cheap foreign
workmen coming here and placing
themselves in immediate competl-
tion, but ardently in favor of put
ting the product of this chesp labor
on equal advantages with American
goods, provided these foreign pau
pers manufacture the articles put
upon the American market in their
native land. For instance, a Cana
dian who makes shoes at fifty cents
less per pair than American work
men would not be allowed, accord
ing to the Chinese idea, to come
across the boundary and establish a
shop, but he is at perfect liberty to
locate just across the line and send
his cheap work into America for
sale, free of duty aud any discrimi-
mating restrictions. The protection.
lists demand that he shall give the
country whatever of benefit is to be
derived from his citizenship and the
location in its borders of his manu-.
featuring establishment before he il
entitled to the benefits of our free
markets. And that's the difference
between the two theories. OH
tends to ill our markets with cheaI
foreign goods and the other to al
the country with foreign capital In
vested in permanent and beneficis
enterprises.-Er. - - ~.

The law uuder which State bonds
are now being issued was approved
March 10Th, 1854. 1t provides for
the issuance OF any denomination
not less than fifty dollars nor more
than one thousand dollars, and not
to exceed in the aggregate the sum
of 100000. The bonds run until
the lst day of January, 1895, and
bear interest at the rate of five per
cent. per annum, payable semi-an-
nually. The law provides that the
bonds shall not be sold for a price
less than their face value, and that
money invested in them shall be ex-
empt from taxation. A State tax of
p mills is fixed to provide for the
payment of principal and interest on
the bonds.

! The Prohibitionists are steadily
growing in strength. Mr.. r. w.
Mcdonald, President Of the Pacific
bank at San Francisco, and who is
one of their most prominent leaders,
is very hopeful of results this year.
In his circular recently put out, he
says: "If three States can be car
ried by the Prohibitionists, the
choice Of President will be thrown
into the House, and since there the
election is by States. not by dele
gates, presumably neither Republi-
cans nor Democratic will give way,
and the compromise will probably
be on the Prohibition candidate

The Worlds Exposition.

10 another column will be fount
what seems to be q rather extrava
giant announcement. That Of thu
holding of Worlds Industrial and
Cotton Centennial Exposition, tc
/ open at New Orleans, December Isl
OF the present year, and continuing
for the period of six months. The
world is known to be very fair
sized body, having . good many
countries and good many people.
An Exposition covering it would be
huge undertaking. Yet from what
We have learned of the Worlds Ex-
position, it win come nearer justi-
flying its designation than even it's
projectors could have anticipated.
The reports of its progress, of its
development, of the popular. almost
universal interest it is exciting, Of
the movements of the people, States,
even all the Territories, and Of Fer
eign Countries, in their preparations
for representation in it, are simply
wonderful. No other enterprise Of
the kind ever launched, has been re-
ceived with the same favor and en-
thusiasm. Even the great Centen-
nial Exposition of 1876, is already
overshadowed by it in the magni-
tude it has already obtained, and
the character and range Of exhibits
already secured.
This Exposition is held by virtue
of an act of Congress, under the au-
spices of the general government,
(which has appropriated$l 300, 900
for its purposes the National Cot
ton Planters Association and the
City Of New Orleans. Appropria-
t;ons for its benefit have been made
by the principal States of the Union.
by numerous counties and cities and
by several foreign countries.
The main building, now about
finished. Is the largest structure ev-
er erected, covering 33 acres of fspace
under one roof. The horticultural
Hall, also nearly completed, is the
largest building ever erected for the
purpose, being 600 feet long by 194
in width. In the center tower itsis
arranged to show 10000 plates OF
fruit. The government building
will of itself be much larger than
the majority Of what are termed
great exposition buildings, it being
SS5 feet long by sos feet in width.
This building will contain the Gov
eminent and State exhibits. Macy
other structures will he erected.
This exposition gives every promise
of being the greatest and grandest
ever held.

A Kansas paper says putting five
hundred bushels in car, it would
require four hundred thousand cars
to carry the corn that will grow in
Kansas this year. Allowing twenty
cars to train, twenty Thousand
trains would be necessary, and giv-
ing TO every train the space Of one
fourth of a mile, the procession
would be five thousand miles long.
If the oars were twenty I've feet

We are again entering upon 9
qnadrennial political contest, and Il
promises to be unusually exciting
The two great parties are so nearly
equal In strength that the issue Is
difficult to forecast. The epe in
power, tiushed with the victories oi
twenty five years, and sustained by
immense patronage, will contest
bitterly the last inch before lower
ing its fiag.7 On the other side
there is party tlirsting for power,
strengthened by the disaffected and
Independents elements of the majori-
ty, and encouraged by the general
American conviction that q change
of administration is best for the puri
" of government, which will strain
every nerve to regain it's ascendan-
ey. The character and enthusiasm
of the two National Conventions,
and the sharp contest for the noini-
nations, indicate the hopefnlness
and determination ofeach. Unless,
therefore, an unexpected reform is
vouchsafed to the American people
we will have the usual campaign of
slander. Each party will denounce
the other without discrimination,
and invoke the direst imprecations.
The country will 60 TO rottenness
and ruin if the one remains in pow
er. or will suffer revolution and au-
archy if the other wins a victory
So in either case, according to the
average newspaper and stump
speaker, the Nation will be destroy
ed. Aud, strange to say, the ordi
nary partisan believes it, and grows
wild with foolish excitement. Well,
what has religions Journal and
Christian citizens to do with the
matter! Much every way.
In the first place, every citizen
should vote. Clothed with the
solemn privilege of suffrage, with
responsibilities which can neither
be neglected nor relegated to others,
he cannot be Indifferent to the is
sues involved or the result of the
contest. To exercise the elective
franchise is an imperative duty. In
Republican Governments, founded
upon and sustained by the will, it is
the Christian citizens sacred duty
TO use the power of the ballot in the
interest Of good and honest ad-
minisLration.
In the next place, he should vote
as he prays. He should deposit his
conscience with his ballot. Let it
be the expression of profound con-
viction, and not sectional, sectarian
or partisan prejudice. To pray for
COOL rulers and vote for bad men is
an anomaly and sinful folly.
Again, we should study both
principles and men. The old party
shibboleth principles, not men, needs
repudiation. Study platforms and
see who have been nominated TO
represent them.
We should be slow to accept and
repeat campaign ISLANDERS. They
are hurtful to the soul and an injury
to good citizenship. So far as our
opinion may be regarded, we are
glad to believe that both the distin-
guished gentlemen nominated for the
Presidency are Of high personal char
acter, and in either hands the Nation
will have a chief magistrate worthy
of honor.-N. o. Christain Advo-

A young Jerseyman sued . young
lady who rejected him, for the en- (,
gagement ring he gave her, where
upon the maiden's father sued the
youth for the firewood and oil that
were consumed during the courtship,
also for the meals the wooer ate At
the house and for the fodder the
horse consumed at the same time.
The most Encouraging part OF the
affair is that the father OF the tickle
maiden won the suit. But IL must
be remembered that this happened in

tense OF the homes of the nation
has entered upon q warfare that
shall never cease so long as the flag
Of our country waves its protect
ing folds over the legalized dram
shop.
In this struggle let Us ever re-
member that we are accountable to
our God, that our duty to Him is
paramount to our allegiance to any
political party, aud that political
lies will never in His sight excuse
a ballot for any party that does not
stand up fearlessly for the right.
We will have nothing to fear If the
people vote as they pray.
Mr.. Daniel followed, and said:
To the chairman and members OF
tho committee. l am profoundly
gratifed for the honor conferred
upon me by selecting me as one of
the standard bearers Of this great
reform government. i accept the
nomination for the office Of Vice
President, and expect to do 90 more
formally by letter hereafter. Know
ing well that the office Is one of
responsibility and involving no little
amount of personal sacrifice,I i appre-
ciate this honor, not merely as q
personal one, but as token of ap-
probation by the Convention Of
earnest, solid prohibition work that
has been done in my native State
of Maryland within the few years
past. ...
also appreciate it as indicative
Of the desire Of our brethern of the
great North and West to obliterate
all sectional party lines and to build
up good union party, composed Of
the best elements on both sides of
the line, in array against the worst
Representatives of protection to
homes everywhere as against the
saloons. This deposition is more
clearly evinced from the fact that l
am the first person selected, since
the war, from the Southern States
as candidate for national posi-,
tion, and l trust that this action
will be the harbinger of That reign
of harmony. good will and unity
throughout the land, which poet
has described as
1.-THE un ion Of lakes, the union Of lands,
The union of States none can seSer
The union of heats nd the union of hands,
And the d. of the Union forever"
Whatever may be the result OF
the effort so far as the precise num-
ber Of votes polled is concerned, l
believe the agitation to be Of i'm
mense advantage to the cause AMI
the country. l believe the result
will be to rivet the earnest thought
ful attention OF American people
upon this liquor traffic, this gigantic
crime of crimes, SO as to cause
speedy adoption of such measures
as will greatly hasten its overthrow
The duty of the hour is to crystalize
and organize a prohibition senti-
ment. We already have entered into
political action, and having thus
standard to which we can rally, we
ohall more rapidly form whatever
else Of sentiment may be needed
than in any other way.
/ have but one word to say in
conclusion, that I shall do all in
my power, now and henceforth, to
bear onward the prohibition stan
dard.
