The Coming Of Winter

The following from the Milwau
kee Sentinel of Monday is so well
said that we think it worthy of
space in these columns:

THERE bias been much said about
the effect of the presidential cam
paign on the Grand Army of the
Republic, and previous to the elec.
ton the general impression was that
the order would suffer. But that
impression will be shown to have
been erroneous. The old soldiers
have discussed the various questions
arising in the canvass in cool and
considerate manner. They have
never allowed politics to enter the
posts-not for an instant. When
republican and democratic soldiers
have talked politics they have done
so in a generous spirit, with exceed
ingly few instances. On one point
the most of them have agreed-dem
ocrats, republicans alike denouncing
as an outrage the nomination of
Thomas A. Hendricks for vice-pres-
ident. OF course there are a few
democratic soldiers so welded to
their party that they even swallowed
hendricks, man no more loyal
than the confederate who took guns
and buckled on swords. The excit-
ing times the past half year have
drawn the old soldiers nearer togeth-
er than they have been since the
army was mustered out in 1865, and
they will stand side by side until
Trey are mustered out of life's ser
vice, in spite Of anything and every
thing that the parties may do -Sun-

THE MURDERERs, ASSOCIATION.
Report of the Committee on the Verdict in
the Berner Case.
Cincinnati News Journal.

CINCINNATI News journal.
A special meeting of the Nurderers' Associa-
ton was held last evening to receive the report
of the committee representing the association
in the Berner murder case. 1t was as follows;
To the Honorable, the Murderers' Associations
Gentlemen-Your committee has the honor to report
that to-day another signal victory gained that
cannot fail to initiate toward the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT of
noble cause and reflect most credtRbly upon the
efforts and power of association. Brother Will
lam Berner who has just passed through the ordeal
of trial the charge of murder in the first degree.
received a verdict to-day of mansaughter Consider
ing the undsputed fact that Brother Berner guilty
of the most horrd atrocious and bloody murder that
has been committed in this city for many years, your
committee cannot help declaring that the verdict
ferred to is most glorious triumph for the grand fra
ernity of murderers, and too much credit cannot be
accorded the members of the jury who to-day paid
such decided compliment to the standing and nau-
of the murderers OF this association. The
pliment is all the to be appreciated from the
fact.that so far as known, none of the jurymen
murderers themselves There is another element en-
terng into this which renders the victory to-day
all the grander That is the fact that there has been
almost overwhelming pressure brought to bear
from the outside against Brother Berner since
the murder committed. The public is unit in
the opinion that Brother Berner should be hanged.
and had not the utmost been exercised in select
ing jury there is doubt that the verdict to-day
would have been in the first degree In fact the pub
lie processes to have been outraged by the verdict of
manslaughter, claiming that esteemed brother
could not have been guilty of nanslaughter under the
circumstances any than he could have been
guilty of bigamy The claim is that if not guilty of
III degree ne was innocent ana SnOulu
have been acquitted. The claim is sound
The prettiest point settled by this case is
that it is shown that there are jures to
be found who will not convict where the accused
makes full and free confession, giving all of the hor
ribe and sckening details of murder declaring that
the murderer has butchered in fatal manner his best
friend and benefactOr Thus it is decided that the
there is to know that is guilty the
better his chances for being acquitted In conc
sion, your committee congratulates the association
the brilancy of the great battle to-day and this
committee hurls conemptuous defiance at the paltry
and frivolous vaporings of the pusillanimous public
over the Berner verdict and resolution is hereby
recommended to the effect that the public has right

THE FATHER OF PROHIBITION.
Why Neal Dow Began His Campaign, Which
Has Lasted Half Century.

Boston Globe.
To-day General Neal Dow celebrated his eigh-
tieth birthday in a quiet manner, He is still very
vigorous and probably has lost nothing of phys
ical or mental strength within the past few
years.
Mr. Dow was a teetotaler from early youth.
The custom of offering wine among refresh
nents at social parties in Portland was largely
put down by him and his two sisters, who, the
first of all in that city, entertained their friends
in large numbers without intoxicants. He was
drawn into the warfare against the liquor traffic
accidentally
There was lady well known to Mr. Dow and
his family, whose husband, an educated man,
holding an important public Office was dip
somaniac. This lady sent for Mr.. Dow one day
and told him that her husband was away again
on a time. Mr.. Dow went to a certain rumshop
where Mr. Blank resorted and told the rumseller
the whole story entreating him not to sell the
man any more liquor. The rumseler replied;
tits my business to sell rum, and l have
license for it. I'll sell to anybody who asks for
it who has the money to pay for it. l support
my family by selling liquor"
Mr. Dow Indignantly replied.
'Its your business, then, to sell rum. and you
have license for it, You support your family,
do you, by destroying other peoples families!
Heaven helping me, I'll change all thatw
Mr. Dow led Mr. Blank home, and from that
day commenced an active, persistent, unceasing
warfare against the grog shops. lnnumerable
meetings were held all over the State, in small
towns and villages as well as in large towns and
cities everywhere denouncing the liquor traffic.
When public opinion was prepared for the over
throw of the grog shops, Mr.. Dow supposed,
he prepared bill entitled, San act for the sup
preston of drinking houses and tipping shops"
His friends said it was too radical. He went to
Augusta with his bill in his pocket, had pub
lie hearing in the representatives hall before
joint select committee. which agreed unanl-
mously to report the bill without change. The
next day was the last one of the session. That
night Mr.. Dow had his bill printed, it was placed
on the desks of the members early in the morn
ing, and on that day passed through all its
stages to be enacted, and went into effect on its
approval by the Governor.
Within six months the jails in five of the
counties were empty, as well as the houses of
correction of Cumberland county The open
liquor traffic came Immediately to an end

Importance of the Hay Crop.

'Gath S Note BOOK
was talking to an agricultural implement
builder during the week who has been, in the
midst of the apparent decline of things, extend
ing his works. Said l: "On what principle do
you expand your busnessl7 Upon the increase
in the hay crop said he HAY is worth, on
the average, probably $40 ton, and we make
say, 30, 900 tons Of hay per annum' "Heav
ens' said /, that amounts to $500 600 000."
"Of course it does" said the builder but you
must recollect that hay is probably the second
crop of Importance in the country-corn,
l suppose, being the first. You can always get
rid of your hay, because you can feed it into
beef, and the beef can be exported if the wheat
cannot. My machinery not only cuts the hay
and keeps it turning after it is cut so that it
speedily dry but it stacks it at the rate of ton
every few minutes, the gathering machines car
rying the hay to platform apparatus up which
it is carried and put in the stack. In some por-
tons of this country hay commands only So a
ton, but think it will average $40 ton all
around and there is none too much of it. New
York State leads in the hay crop, and Pennsyl
Vania comes next

Richmond Palladium.

The press of indianapolis deserves much credit
for the manner in which it has treated the sub
ject of smallpox in that city. Since Jan. ID
there have been lO5 cases there, of which nine
teen proved fatal Every one of these cases has
been reported promptly by the city papers, and
the fullest information possible given in regard
to the location of the patient and the progress of
the disease. Such course is both commenda-
BILE and wise. 1t is infinitely better than trying
to suppress information for fear it will hurt the
trade OF the city. AS it is, indianapolis has suf-
fered nothing compared with what might have
been had the impression gone abroad that the
smallpox was very bad there and the truth
about it was being suppressed.

question We refer to the rapid increase of
wheat production in India and its increased eX
portatiOn to countries which are our chief Gus
toners for the surplus export We have be
fore referred to this question, and given the fig
ures of increase mentioned 1t must be plain
that whatever we lose in foreign demand for our
farm surplus must be made up at home. This
can only be realized by increasing our manufac
turing industries, which would add to the mum
Der of consumers. The outlook abroad certainly
suggests the fact that the world is on the TIRES
and the way to safely meet them is by wise
apprehension of the facts, and the development
of our own industrial resources In future az

The Pope's Portrait.

Baltimore Special.
Archbishop Gibbons has been somewhat piqued
at the delay in sending the portrait of the Pope
to Baltimore from New York, and also about its
being opened in New York and shown to news
paper men, as he had intended not to take it
from its original case until November, when, in
the name of the Pope, he presented it to the
American bishops assembled in the convention.
The presentation will be accompanied by much
ceremony. However, now that it has once been
opened, it is likely that it will be placed on ex
hibition in some suitable place upon its arrival.
After it is presented to the bishops it will proba-
bly, be placed In the cathedral.

His last appearance in the pulpit was when he
stopped at Ocean Spring, on Feb. II, where he
found an appointment for him to preach. He
entered the pulpit, announced his text, "These
light Affections, which are but for moment,
work out afar more exceeding and eternal weight
of glory The congregation waited, he pro
nounced the text second time and paused. A
third time he spoke the text, sat down, and,
calling local preacher asked him to preach
the sermon for him. He died almost in the act
of preaching. And he has now that exceeding
weight of glory
