The Prohibitionists.

PITTSBuRG, July 22.-Delegates to the
National Prohibition convention are ar
irving on every train, and consider
able amount OF enthusiasm is manifested
among them as well as local friends of
the movement. Mcdonald seems to be
in the lead for the Presidential nomina-
ton, but adherents of Gideon Stewart
and oX-Gov. st. John are working encr-
getically for them. John b. Finch. of
Nebraska, is the only one mentioned as
Temporary Chairman, and none for
permanent Chairman except Miss
Francis Willard, who NAV not
be able to attend. The main
feature of the platform will be prohibi-
tion and home protection. 1t will favor
clVll service reform, removing the an
pointing power from the President, and
making all officers elective. 1t will on
pose all monopolies and special privil-
eyes; declare in favor Of reserying nublic
lands for actual settlers; denounce stock
ana grain sPeculations, and take high
grounds on all questions OF moral re-
FORM. 1t will favor female suffrage and
denounce. polygamy. Estimates given
of the probable strength of the marty ya

some claim they will poll 100000 votes,
while others, more sanguine, put il AS
high as u million.

LOGAN SPEAKS AND ALSO THEM
DEPENDENTS


No man in this country familiar with
the name and attainmcnts Of JoHN A.
LOGAN anticipated anything like an in
tellectual treat upon the appearance Of
his letter of acceptance. Consequently.
no one will feel ut all disappointed upon
reading the Generals sluSh this morn
ing. Poorly constructed, from a gra-
matlcal standpoint, barren Of ideas or
originality of any kind and only rocking
with sickly platitudcs and worn out
prejudices against the South, this docu-
ment doesn't even compare with the let
ter OF acceptance Just published from
BLAINE. LOGAN, just as does BLAINE,
and indeed, IA do all the Republicans,
claims that all the good and growth wit
messed in the United States for twenty
years past, must be attributed to the Re-
publican party, because that was the
party in charge of the Government.
Upon this line of argument the party
must also hold itself responsible for all
the evil that has occurred during il,
possession Of the government. II il a
poor rule that won't work both WAYS.
II Is responsible for the destruction of
our navy; ii is responsible for the de-
struction Of American shipping; it is re-
sponsible for the destruction of the pub
lie domain, which has gone into the
hands Of railroads and syndicntes; for
the continuance aud growth Of Nor
monsm; the destruction of the old
timepublic and private honesty; the con-
tempt entertained for us abroad and the
abuse of American citizens; the panics
and pestllences and strikes that have
multiplied and devastated within the
past twenty years.
but government does not operate AS
the cause OF material development. II IL
an obstruction rather than a cause and
Is only tolerated ~ n necessary evil.
MEssRs. BLAINE and LOGAN would
have the country believe that all this
prosperity and development will stop
unless they are placed In power.
Upon the heels of this announce
ment is the convention OF Indc-
pendent Republicans, old-timers, men
whose personal honesty and pride have
outlived tho usefulness or honesty OF
their party who declare that BLAINE
and LOGAN, as ticket, is ian insult 10
the American people,"
The convention at the University Club
theatre yesterday, composed Of mon Of
brains, Of character, Of influence and
long prominent standing, who know the
Republican pariy,and its leaders as they
know their own names, give tho direct
lie to all the boasting and promising
that BLAINE and I.oaAS make In thor
letters.

leader or other citizen, had attempted to
influence the commission in regard to
us relations to the appointment at the
south or elsewhere. If such attempts
should be made, which he had not the
least reason to suspect, it would be
openly resisted and publicly exposed
If such an attempt should be made il
would be utterly futile. 1t was no
true, as the article suggests, that an

NOTWITHSTANDING the blatant boastine
OF the free-grass organs, the Democratic
mass convention at Henrietta on the 10th,
sat down on the fraud. The cattlemen
were out in full force, but the farmer,
the hester, the mechanic and the labor
ing man all realized the benefit that
accrue to them from this lease law, and
did not endorse free grass. 1t is strange
that the cattle barons all favor repeal
OF the lease law and want free grass and
sales of the public lands in any quanti-
ties, no matter how great, and yet their
organs claim that the members of all
the large companies and syndcates want
actual settlers to come in and cut up
their pastures into small farms. Looks
thin, don't it?

THE cattlemon by agitating the land
question are calling attention 10 the
Western lands in the State, the very oh.
ject they wish to avoid. They may look
one fact fairly in the face, which is:
The time is rapidly approaching when
the large herds will have to give way to
the farmer and small stockmen. The
few cannot occupy all the rich lands in
the West to the exclusion of the many.
Line riders and bulldozing and annoy
anccs will not keep out actual settlers.
They will occupy the lands peacoably if
they can, forcibly if they must.

MORE than l,0OOc00 head of cattle II is
said, are owned by syndicates, the mem
berS Of which reside outside of Texas.
They realize a profit of $l0O00,00O an
nually from their investments in the
business. 1t will require the grass
grown on 5O,OO0,0OO to 7OOOO,OOO acres to
sustain these cattle. Now why should
Texas furnish these non.re3idents with
the land free, whom all their profits on
their stock is invested in other States?
TO let them occupy this land Ell the free
grass idea would be to exclude all actual
settlers. Let them pay Tor .he use of the
lands at least ten per ctit. of its actual
value, which improperly or money will
or should bring at any place in Texas.
If it require, say, five acres of land to
sustain COW or an OK one year and the
value of the animal is enhanced ten
dollars, is it a wrong to ask the owner
of the animal to pay twenty-five cents
an acre for the grass, which for the five
| acres would be one dollar and quarter,
still leaving the cattleman profit of
eight dollars and soventy-ive cents.
And if "A nonresident were charged
fifty cents per acre could he justly com
plain when his profits over and above
the rental would still be one dollar and
fifty cents an acre every year? The
cattlemcn, both residents and nOn-resi-
dents, should be willing 10 accept such
liberal terms as the above instead of
clamoring for frce-grass.

GAS EXPLOSION.

About p. m. Wednesday loud re-
port in the region of j. II. Long & Co. 3
butter and egg storage rooms, challeng-
ed the curiosity of our citizens and on
it WAS ascertained that an
explosion of gas had taken place in the
basement of the building, caused by
the igniting of escaped gas, by lamp
in the hands of workmen who were ex-
tending gas pipes into the establish
ment. Itappears that several months
ago, a pipe leading from the main into
the basement, had been left extending
through the wall and was covered over
with plaster. Wednesday when the
new pipes were laid, the men did not
know of the presence of the hidden
pipe, and turned on gas which escaped
through the previously laid one and
lodged between the wall and plaster
ing. When ignited strong explosion
necessarily occurred, injuring the build
ing somewhat. The floor in the office
was badly splintered and nearly all
the large window lights in the front
were smashed, besides shaking off q
great deal of lath and plaster. There
was no one in the office, or the results
would have been more serious. The
book keepers stool was thrown out
through one of the windows, and other
articles tumbled about generally.

THE DAIRY EXCHANGE.

Upward, still upward, was the ten
dency of figures on the tactical produc-
ton at the sale Wednesday. Nearly
5000 pounds were placed on sale, and
prices fixed at a higher figure than at
any other sale during the season. As
high as q cents was asked for cream
cry butter and IL! cents for dairy. Bid
ders could not safely ascend TO- these fig
ures though 26 cents was offered for
creamery. Dairy butter had to sue
cumb to IL cent bids; Mr.. Mills secur-
ing 1900 pounds at that price from A.
P. McKinstry. The irregular sales
footed up to nice round amount,
there being about 5000 pounds report
ed, as follows: A. p. McKinstIy, 900
lbs of creamery at 25 cents, and $500
lbs. of dairy at 14cents; G. w. Her
rick 300 lbs. dairy, and j., H. Long
Co. l 100 lbs. creamery.
Mr.. McKipstry offered 90 dozen eggs
at 15t cents: The day was very unfa-
vorable one, being wet and muddy,
but the sale was very satisfactory.
