The EX-Speaker Reaffirms His Charges on
the Witness Stand.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON Feb 20.--Some surprise was ex-
pressed to-day by ex-Speaker Kiefer's enemies
when he not only testified to all the material
points he made against General Boynton in his
speech on the floor Of the House, but offered
Mr.. White his clerk to corroborate him. Mr.
White testified to being in the Speakers room
when Mr.. Boynton came in. at the time the
former charged the latter proposed to bride him,
and that at the request of Mr. Keifer he left the
room, so that Mr.. Boynton could have a private
interview. AS White departed he saw in Boyn
tons hand what appeared to be a House or Sen
ate bill, and what he presumed now was the
McGarrahan claim bill. Mr.. Keifer says he
will introduce DR.. McMurry, of Dayton, and
Major Bickham, editor of the Dayton Journal.
and W. S. Furay, of Columbus, who will testify
that he told them Immediately after Boynton's
interview, that he had been approached and that
Boynton had proposed to corrupt him. Kiefer
proposes also, he says, to prove by circumstan-
tial evidence that Boynton attempted to bride
him.

WILL II. HERMAN, editor of the St.
Louis Free Lance, says that Cleveland is
intellectually Insignificant and utterly
lacking in statesmanship," but the Free
Lance will support him because he is
"weak, plant, timid and will soon learn
to obey the order of the Southern Democ-
racy." KEENAN, is an unrecoRstructed
rebel like whom we trust but few remain
in the South, though the fact that enough
remain to support such dirty sheet as
his, proves that traitors in feeling are not
all dead yet. With reference to Southern
Contederacy, he says;
Secession is not dead issue-it is only
dormant; and the day is not far distant-0
ye of Yankeedoml- your Dirty flag,
Damned Union and Debauched Constitution
will become mere memories of hateful and
hell.fire past-when the very thought of
your Linkhorns, Grants, Sheridans, and all
that gutter mob of Bloody and Brutal Doors,
will be nameless stencil in the nostrils of
mankind. Secession is the vital spark Of
our American system-protoplasm from
which it sprung.
Having furnished the foregoing informa-
tion the Free Lance goes on to give the
following advice to its Southern Friends;
Now, boys of the South, organize, arm
and equip yourselves for the Presidential
contest and when election day comes, load
your shotguns, take possession of the polls,
and see that no nigger is permitted to cast
vote against our nominee. If the South
remains solid it will run the White House
on and after March 4th, 1885; but it cannot
remain solid unless the Senegambians are
kept in fear of the rifle and the whip. In
this way Tilden was elected in 1876; in this
way, and no other, can Cleveland be elected
in 1884

Ex-Governor PLAIsTEp, of Mail

Ex-GovERNoR PLA1sTED, of Maine,
who is now seeking to connect Blaine
with an assault upon Catholics few
years ago, had this to say of the Repub-
lican nominee in May, 1876:
"Blalne will be nominated at Cincinnati.
Remember this. He has given to the party
its present prestige and vantage ground, and
1t would be as wicked as unwise to allow
another to enter into his labors. The mud
machine will not touch him. He is man
instinctively right, and I believe will be
found not only not guilty of corrupt prac-
tice, but incapable of it. You know have
never been partisan of Mr.. Blaine but l
have seen him here, what he has done, and
know him as never before. Insignificant are
all personal and local squabbles, chickering's,
and claims compared with the interest
Maine has in the election of Blaine President
OF the United States, and in the brilliant ad-
ministration he is sure to give the country.
The people OF Maine will give little heed to
such squabbles except to stamp them out
with little ceremony as possible.

ITNEEDs but hurried glance at the faces
that crowd our street corners, and obstruct
our crossings any Saturday evening, and
many other evenings and holidays, to con-
vince the observant and thoughtful, that
the number of men and youth who are
becoming degraded by drink are increas-
ing and in an alarming proportion to those
who are sober and temperate. The beer
drinker cannot po .ket his breath, or con-
ceal his maudlin Stiffness, does not control
his profanity, forgets his good manners,
loses his sense of decency and becomes
more and more reckless as to going in and
out of the saloon at hours when the
streets are full. So he does not need to be
reeling, or in the gutter to expose his con-
dition or prove where he has been. His
manliness is demoralized, his face hangs
out red flag, he loses self.respect
There is no safe middle ground. He can
not long conceal the effects of even mod
crate drinkine.

The Effects Of Prohibition.

From The Minneapolis Tribune.
Iowa has now had little more than a
week in which to test the new prohibitory
law and already it bids fair to be success
The most gratifying reports are received
from all portions of the State, and instead
of weakening after the first day the law
appears to be gaining strength. Every
day comes the information that some town
has Joined the ranks of the law abiding.
OF course there are towns and cities in
Iowa in which no temperance law can be
enforced with any degree of success. But
the people OF that State are to be congratrAz
lated that these strongholds OF rum are by
no means numerous, and that they are so
situated as to be in a large measure kept
in check by the temperance people, who
make up the great majority of the citizens
in the interior of the State. Dubuque
one of the cities in which the liquor
sellers have for years held undisputed
sway, the temperance people are taking
measures to secure the enforcement of the
law. They will succeed only in part, but
they will no doubt be able to close up
many of the 1876 saloons that now openly
defy the law of the State. The law can
at first be but a partial success in
Dubuque, Davenport, Burlington and
other cities along the river, but through
out the interior counties, in the villages
and towns of less than ten thousand inhabi-
tants, there is every reason to believe that
the law will be as thoroughly enforced as
are most of the prohibitory laws on the
statute books. One of the most notable re-
suits of the enforcement Of the new law is
the increased trade i'll groceries and pro-
visions. The Des Moines Register refers
this as follows: Very gratifying re-
ports are received from all parts of the
state of the success of the new prohibitory
law. 1t is being enforced far better than
ever its friends hoped. A gentleman who
has just come from Fort Madison says
that prohibition is grand success even in
that river town, and every saloon that oc-
cupied rented building has been closed.
One very marked and gratifying change
has been noticed in the increased retail
trade in groceries, provisions and the
other necessaries of life. Dealers report
trade lively and cash plenty. During the
first week of prohibition the sales at one
meat market in Fort Madison were just
double what they had been in any previous
week, and the increased patronage came
from the men who had been the regular
patrons Of the saloon. The general report
from all over the State is to the same
effect, that retail trade has picked up won.
derfully and that cash is more plentiful
than it has been for months. Thousands
of happy families as well as the shop
keepers appreciate the change, and those
who have suffered at times for the neces-
saries of life now find their wants easily
and freely supplied. twill be interesting
to note the effect of prohibition as shown
by the day-books of the grocer, the baker,
and the meat man. Their increased re-
ceipts will just about measure the amount
Of the saloon keepers losses.

A FINE opportunity is offered agents to
canvass for new book, written by Hon.
George S. Boutwell,, entitled "Why I am

or's introduction, the volume will
"Present at one view History of the Re-
publican Party, defense of Its policy, and
the reasons which justify Its continuance in
power. 1t has administered the government
during fouth part of its constitutional ex-
istence. In that period new generation of
men has come upon the stage, who cannot,
out of their own experience, institute either
contrasts or comparisons between the near
and the more remote past. have sought to
address myself 70 that class, in the hope
that may enable them to see, as in one view
the beneficial changes that have been
wrought by the Republican Party, in consti-
tutional law, in public policy-in the. eduea
tional and industrial condition of the people e,
and above all in the sentiment of nationality,
which is better security for the preservation
Of the Union, than can be had in statutes and
constitutions"
The author as is well known has been
associated with the Republican party from
its early history; for years was one of its
leaders, and has such thorough personal
knowledge Of its grand achievements, that
his very name is aguarantee Of the accu-
racy and inestimable value of his work
To write book so comprehensive in its
nature, and yet to free it from prosy detail,
and make it terse, pointed and brilliant, SO
as to be readily grasped by every voter,
seemed at first an impossible task, but it
has been accomplished.
Hon. John Sherman says:
This work states in a very effective way the
leading acts of the Republican party, by
which the country has been saved and great :
advanced in wealth and prosperity; there
fore commend It, and hope 1t may have a
large circulation.

In POLITICS men find it wise and per-
tinent to give their attention to live ques-
tions, rather than to dead issues. Home
mission work takes precedence in the
hearts OF the people to any plea for tofeign
fields. Local charities meet with readiest
response, in benevolent sympathy and help.
The liquor question is the most vigorously
live subject of today. tits one that will
not be kept down, but is painfully intru-
sive and thrusts itself upon unwilling
attention however we try 10 avoid it. The
question of revenue, of free trade and tariff
of tax on iron or wool, is not half so near
the home and family, and so seems to
many less important than the one of al
most free whlskey which is source of
constant terror, anxiety, disgrace, financial
distress and heartbreaking sorrow to many
homes in every community, 1t seems 10
us that SO live subject should get more
attention in political meetings, and not be
left chiefly to women and children.
