The Whisky Market.

PEORIA ILL, April 2O.-The de-
cline in whisky in Cincinnati created
a flutter among Peoria distillers; no
serious alarm is felt, however, and at
a meeting held Friday night it was
resolved to maintain prices.
This was done on Change .yester-
day, the Board of Trade circular
quoting the market firm at SLIT, the
price which has prevailed here for
some time. Shipments were 729 bar
rels.
News of the further reduction, how
ever, had a much more depressing eff
feet, and left no doubt in the minds
of the local distilleB of general de-
moralization.
Another meeting was held last
night to consider the situation, but
the distillers are retcent concerning
the proceedings and it is impossible
to learn what was done, except that
it was decided to entirely suspend OPP
erations on all distillerieS here Mon
day.
Several thousand head of cattle
which are being fed here, will be
shipped away as fast as possible.
Eight cars were shipped today.
The distillers decline to give any
information Or express any opinion
as to the future.

How to Prevent Fires.

1Ho lOlloWlnS olihplo precautions
suggested by the New York indie
pendent, if strictly followed, would
prevent many destructive fires. The
rules might be posted in every store,
dwelling and factory with good re-
suits:
The leading causes of fires are kero-
sene oil, matches and furnaces.
/. Always buy the best quality of
oil.
2. Never make a sudden motion
with lamp, either in lifting or set
ting it down.
3. Never place lamp on the edge
OF table or mantle.
4. Never fill alamp after dark, even
if you should have to go without a
light.
8. See that the lamp wicks are al
ways clean and that they. always
work freely in the tube.
6. Never blow out lamp from the
top.
Z. Never take light to a closet
where there are clothes. Unnecessary
to go to the closet place the light at a
distance.
8. Use candles just as much as pos
sible in going about the house and in
bed rooms. They are cheaper and
can't explode, and for very many
purposes are just as good as lamps.
8. Matches should always be kept
in earthern jars, or in tin.
10. They should never be left where
rats and mice can get hold of them.
There is nothing more to the taste of
a rat than phosphorus. They will
eat it if they can get at it. A bunch
of matches is almost sure to be set on
fire if rat gets at it.
IL. Have good safes in every place
where matches are to be used, and
never let match be left on the floor.
u. Never let amatch go out of your
hand after lighting until you are sure
the fire is out, and then it is better to
put 1t in a stove or on an earthern
dish.
10. 1t is far better to use the safety
matches, which can only be lighted
upon the box which contains them.
IA. Have your furnaces examined
carefully in the fall, and at least once
during the winter by a competent
person. All the pipes and fiues should
be carefully looked to.
Is. If there are any closets in the
house near chimneys or flues, which
there ought not to be, put nothing of
combustible nature into them.
Is. Never leave any wood near a
furnace, range or stove to dry.
II. Have your stove looked to fire.
quently, to see that there are no holes
for coal to drop out.
Is. Never put any hot ashes or coal
in a wooden receptacle.
10. Be sure that there are no cur
tains or shades that can be blown into
gas-light.
~. Never examine gas meter af-
ter dark.
Fires, OF course, arise from other
causes than those we have stated.
Smokers burn up much valuable
property which is not in the shape of
cigars. Bunches of oiled rags of the
most inanimate nature in themselves
still perform the most wonderful feats
in the destruction of property. Tramps
with their pipes creep into the barns
and haymows, and servants will be
careless in a thousand ways, but if
every person who owns property will
give the subject attention, and see
that those around him are posted,
and see that reasonable rules are al
ways obeyed, many thousands of dol
lars could be saved annually which
are now burned out of existence.

We have received, in common, we
presume, with thousands of other jour
nails, copy of the Evening Telegraph,
published at Buffalo, the home of the
Democratic candidate for President,
Grover Cleveland, which contains all
the charges made against the moral
character of the bourbon candidate,
with editorial comment. Cleveland
says he assumed the responsibility and
odium to shield two married individuals
his friends, who are the parties in fact.
We hope the Democracy will be able to
explain this nasty affair to the entire
satisfaction of everybody. 1t is a most

Iris hoped that the arrest of Oklaho-
ma Payne and his band of boomers will
end a scheme which in it's inception was
visionary and in it's conduct almost ma
tional nuisance. Thus far Payne has
accomplished nothing beneficial to any
one save himself and few of his right
hand men, while he has inflicted loss of
money and considerable suffering on the
many who were deluded into following
him. A more intimate knowledge of
Payne's character has revealed the fact
that he is far from being what has gen
orally been supposed. For week prev
ious to his arrest he was in state of
debauch, unable to take care of himself
or guide his followers. Any further at
tempt on the part of the boomers to in
wade the Indian lands should be per-
emptorily dealt with. If they are de-
sirous of forming a colony there is room
enough upon which they will be per-
mitted to settle without official or any
other kind Of obstruction.

from the intelligent Democrats. In the

monopolists, and several hundred Blaine

consists of men who have hitherto voted
the democratic ticket, have been voted
throughout the state. In Utica, Buffalo,

were part of the Irregular fare, . and
for that reason he believed himself not

of liquor. This defense astonished the

cision until the next day, when he i'm

THE delegates that are elected to
the various republican conventions that
are to be held this month have import
ant work before them. The party will
very properly hold them responsible for
the kind of a ticket they put in the field.
The size of republican majorities will
depend largely upon the. sort of men
nominated. If men who have the con-
idence Of the public are chosen, espe-
cialy upon the legislative ticket, the
majority will be large. But if the con-
trary be true, light majority will be
polled for the whole ticket. 1t is to
the interest Of every candidate nomina-
ted to see that he has strong support.
Many a good man has been defeated be-
cause of the unpopularity Of others on
the ticket. The delegates chosen have
this matter in their hands and hence
what they do of the utmost Importance.
They should be Independent to choose
and vote according to their best judy
ment, and should not be improperly in
fuenced by the importantly of candi-
dates. The interests of the party far
exceed those of the candidate, and the
candidate should not claim to own the
party. Delegates in convention should
bear in mind that their obligation to
their constituents is first to be consid-
cred, and that they will be held respon-
sible for the kind of a ticket selected
for republicans to endorse at the polls.

THE following article from the facile
pen of Topics Calhoun of the State
Journal, devoid of the vein of egotism
which permeates that excellent writers
articles, is pregnant with sound sense ::
ga gentleman remarked day or two
ago that the Journal did not hurrah for
Blaine enough to suit his enthusiastic
taste. Let us remind that gentleman
and others like him that political battles
are not won by hurrahing and noise.
Every democrat agrees with him that
we don't hurrah enough for Blaine, but
employ entirely too much of our time
whooping it up to them with that steady
attention to the business in hand which
is the pride of the Journal as its chief
characteristic. When we think there is
more need of hurrahing for our captain
than for firing at the enemy we II make
the welkin ring till it cracks. In the
meantime the welkin is getting on pref
ty well, and so is the cause. When
Henry III wanted to rid his country of
the tyranny of the Romish church as
personated by Thomas Beckett, he
didn't inquire if he had a friend who
would go out on the streets and get up
torchlight procession and shout hur-
rahs for Henry. He intimated that he
was uncertain whether he had friend
who would enjoy the patriotic duty of
polishing off his chief enemy. That is
the kind of a friend to Blaine the Jour
nal is. 1t will occupy itself with pol
ishing off his political enemies and
leave the hurrahing to those papers
which desire rather to attract attention
than to do solid and inconspicuous
work"
