Prohibition is a good cause, but
prohibition politics is not necessarily
on the same high moral plane. 1t
savored of worldliness, not to say of
sharp practice, for the prohibitory
state committee to send catechism
to one candidate for the office Of gov
ernor, in the late canvass, and neg
lect to ask question of the other.
Even if the inquisitlon had been i'm
partial, what reason could they have
had to expect an answer? 1t was not
the question of voters desiring infor-
nation in the light Of which to de-
termine their vote, but of a committee
pledged to another candidate, whose
only object could have been to secure
ammunition for their campaign. 1t
is not usual for the candidate Of one
party to hold himself responsible to
the committee of an opposing party.

How Watch Gases are Made.

This process of manufacture was invented
by James Boss, who started in business in
1854, and the methods and tools used in
making these watch cases ere covered by
patents. This IS the only aOGtch case made
under this process. For many years the in
PRODUCTION of these goods was slow, owing
to popular prejudice against '"plated" goods,
but gradually the public learned that the
James Boss Gold Watch Case was not a
cheap gold-pashed or electro-ptated article,
but was made of genuine gold plates Of
standard quality and thickness. Conscientious
adherence to the determination to make
the best watch case ever put on the market,
and the adoption of every improvement
suggested, has made the James Boss, Gold

could Danish intemperance. Is it
not worth trying for? In a report of
President Seeley's address at Pitts
field we find the following:
Intemperance is crime. Justices
Coleridge and Patterson and other
English judges have said large per-
centage of crime in England results
from inten perance, and the Massa-
chusetts state board of charities have
found that 80 per cent of crime can
be traced to it. 1t is hardly possible
to exaggerate the amount of crime
arising from it. 1t is not prevented
by advancing the tide of education,
for education does not necessarily
carry with it the source of moral re-
form. License is worse than unre-
stricted sale. Prohibition is good
sense and good ethics. We should
treat the sale as any other crime.
The temperance reform is the work
of the church. The divine will must
influence the human. Intemperance
cannot be eradicated by appealing to
the intellect but by gaining the heart.
The moderate drinker has no influence
over the Incorporate. Total abstl-
nence is the only safeguard. Alcohol
paralyzes, not stimulates, as is shown
by recent Investigations. If Christ
ian men would unite they could Danish

If WE mistake not, Dickens has render
ed a certain one Of his characters immortal
under the euphonous title of "The Artful
Dodger." Mr.. Blaine will likely 60 down
to postelity under similarly striking ap-
pella,on. Evidently he is trying to play
of the safe old game Of "Heads l win, Tails
you lose" upon the American people, but
they are generally reputed to be sharp
enough to know trick or two of their own.
What is to lie thought Of man endorsed

natics as Il prohibition candidate in himself,
who lodges square vote upon direct is-

The Norfolk Tragedy,

NORFOLK, Va, Sept. GA double TRACE
dv was enacted last night in the grounds of
St. Vincent de Paul's Hospital 10 this city,
resulting in the death OF young girl, the
suicide of her murderer and the wounding
OF another GIRL a domestic in the hospital.
sam Blanse, about Is years old, known as
"Boh" hy the inmates of the hospital, was
brought here from Providence, R. T., about
two years ago by the sisters in charge of
the institution to act as errand boy. Moth
ing further of his anteccdents is known, but
it is said he was native Of San Bias, Cen
trail America. His disposition was appa-
rently amiable. He was fond of spending
his leisure in youthful pastimes with Nellie
Devlin, Il pretty fourteen year-old girl, who
was an attendant of the sisters. Last night
as Nellie and young servant named Caro-
line Salamonsky were crossing the grounds
laughing and swinging bucket between
them, Bob walked up behind them, drew a
revolver and fired shot which struck Car
olne in the hand, inaicting painful wound.
He then fired again, the ball striking Mel
lie in the back and coming out just above
the left breast, killing her instantly. The
murderer then ran to secluded place and
shot himself dead No motive for the deed
is definitely known, and the coroner found
verdict in accordance with the above facts.

FROM WASHINGTON.



WASHINGTON. j. C., Sept. 8. 1884.
The republicans at their headquarters
here are not very much enthused with the
news from Maine, and it has already be-
come an open secret that they really ex-
pected majority Of at least twenty-fi We
thousand, instead Of which they have about
held their own, but have not received their
proportionate share of the increased vote
The democrats are we'll satisfied with the
result, for though they didn't give express
sion to their fears, they really did fear that
the majority would be az great as the re-
publcaus expected. They also derive con-
ISOLATION from the fact that Blaine lodged a
vote on the prohibition question, thereby,
they say, necessarily disgusting the friends
as we'll as the enemies of that measure, as
the question was the leading one ofthe con-
test, so much SO that even the women of the
State turned out in its behalf, and as every
active man in the Stale who favored it,
as Blame is known 10 do, had the moral
courage TO vote for ii. The result, they
say, is rather q majority for prohibition than
for Blaine, and though Blaine, as Senator
Frye says aililiates with the prohibitionists
and will help them 10 the extent of his
power if elected he was not man enough to
support it with his vote.
To day being the day Of the funeral of
the late Secretary Folger, all the executive
departments of the government and the
district offices are closed.
Among the strangers in the city to-day is
Mr.. Neil Brown, of Tennessee, reading clerk
of the House. He says he met ex. Governor
J. c. Brown, OF his State, Vice President Of
the Texas Pacific Railroad, the other day,
and was told by him that Cleveland would
undoubtedly he elected, and that it is the
first time since the war that he has ever
thought democratic President would be
chosen. The Ex-Governor said his belief
was based upon what he was told by the
business men of the business centres of the
country with whom he is thrown in contact
by his railroad business. Mr.. Brown says
that on his way here he was told by we'll
posted kentuckians that the Congressional
delegation from his Slate in the next Con
gress would be solidly democratic, as Gull
hertson the man who shot himself here q
short time ago, and White, the two repub-
Icans from Kentucky now in the House,
would both b. defeated. He says that Phil.
Thompson, the famous shooter, has been
defeated for denomination by ex Governor
McCreary. Regarding his own State, he
says it will give its usual democratic major

School Meeting III the County.

4 meeting of the patrons Of Walker
School, in Arlington district, was held on
Friday night last, at which A. p. Douglass
was elected chairman and III. r.. Hirsh sec.
rotary. The chairman stated that the OBJ
iect of the meeting was 10 consider the &C.
ton of the school trustee electoral board of
the county in ignoring Walker school in the
appointment Of trustee and its action in
appointing Mr.. VIM. a. Rowe few weeks
ago, who lives in the south end of the dis
trict, which portion was already represent
ed by trustees Benz. Austin and Harvey
Bailey and also TO consider the action CT
the trustees in displacing Miss Robertson,
who was teacher of Walker School last
year, and who was the unanimous choice OF
the patrons for the next year, as expressed
by a unanimously signed petition to the
board of trustees. Yet Mr.. Thos. Sangster,
the teacher of the neighburing school Co.
lumbia), was against the protest OF the
patrons Of that school, which school Mr.. 5.
taught last year, transferred, and Miss Aus
tin put in his place and Mr.. Sansoter APP
pointed as teacher at Walker school, Miss
Robertson being thereby displaced against
their unanimous request fer her retention.
Mr. c. B. Graham, who was present, stated
InaU Cne SCHOOL trustee elSCIOTal DOaIu lOr
the ceunty, rs appointed by the Legislature
last session, was composed OF Mcssrs. John
Slater, john f. Febrey anil himself that
he had done nothing towards the election Of
w. A. Rowe IS a trustee; that he was OPP
posed TO his eins such; that the electoral
board, of which Mr.. Benz Austin bad been
elected clerk, had elected Mr.. Rowe with.
out notifying him of the meeting. After a
thorough discussion of the matter and read
ing the act OF the Legislature on the subject,
resolutions were passed declaring that in
the opinion OF the meeting the session OF
the trustee electoral board was not called in
accordance with this law. and that its action
in electing w. a. Rowe trustee was void !;
and that Mr. Graham be requested to cali
proper meeting Of the said board aud
elect trustee. ,. That the patrons be re-
quested to refrain from sending their
children to the school until this matter
shall be settled. .. That nothiu. as against
Mr.. Thomas Sangster, the proposed teacher,
is mean, by these proceedings, but simply
an expression against the illegal actions Of
the appointing power of trustees and teach
ers and the ilitreatmcnt of The patrons and
their petitions in this matter. t. That this
meeting adjourn over until Wednesday
evening, the 10Th inst, at 100 O'Clock.

IT Is openly asserted in the newspapers

twenty. FIVE thousand dollars in his, Biaine's,

Mr.. Blaine has not sued any of the newspa-
pers for publishing this charge, though it
handicaps him more in the race he is run

indianapolis Sentinel, the trial of which
suit, however, it is thought by those &C.

TIE MAINE ELECTIoN.-Ihe returns

the plurality of Mr.. Hayes in 1876 and
about 900 more than the plurality Of Cen
eral Garfield in 1850. IL also is gain of
about 900 over Governor Robes plurality
in 1882. The vote in lSSl i the fair one
for comparison. But we observe that the
Associated Press agents in Maine, in ri.
dculous endeavor Up get up a Blaine boom
with the returns, compare them with tl'e
Governors vote in 1850, when the repuhli-
cans lost the State for almost the only time
in this generation. Their real gain is, as we
have said, about t 600 at the utmost. The

votes less popular than eX President Ruth

full showing for the republican presidential
candidate in his own State. Ii does not
show IN overwhelming enthusiasm for a
"tavolitc SON." On the contrary, it shows
that If the democratic national committee
had chosen to contest this election, instead
Of letting it go by default, they might have
done 80 with an excellent chance OF success.
Among such details AZ have reached lis up TO

in their national significance are the carry

The New York Times says:
AS compared with the september vote Of
1876, the last one held under normal conhi
lions, they ought To have had more than
10000 majority. The average majority
from 1850 to 1876, in September Of prcSi
Dental years, was l. 300 So it will he
seen that with all their straining, with the
advantage Of Mr. Blainc's appeals to State
pride, with the field substantially abandon
ed to them, the republicans have managed
to hold their own, hu, have not succeeded
in getting their fair share of the increased
vote. II that satisfies their managers. We
have no disposition to complain.
