NOTHING Is LEFT.
But to 60 into the Camp of the
PrOhibitiOnists.

Below is an extract from recent
sermon by Rev. J. G. Jackson Of
Ohio, who was an ardent advocate
OF the Scott Law. The Reverend
speaker says:
"No license plank will ever be
inserted in the constitution by the
people of Ohio. Coming from the
sources that proposition does, the
people of this state, Democrat and
Republican, would rather not have
any constitution on the subject,
and so have fair field and free
fight every election.
We who were called moderate
temperance men are now shut up
to prohibition alone. We have
tried license, regulation and taxa
ton. Conscientiously and earnest
ly we have tried to make terms !;
not because we loved whisky, but
because we did see some virtue in
the awfully abused doctrine Of per-
sonal liberty, and because we did
not want to rob the brewer of his
property, and because it seemed to
us that the interests of temperance
itself required that we make haste
slowly. We thought, in short,
that we could stand somewhere
along on the Scott law territory.
But the doctrines announced by
the Supreme court sweep the last
inch of ground out from under our
feet. We have nowhere loft to
stand. We must go over to the
camp of the prohibitionists, And
az is the case generally with men
who have suffered and borne and
had patience, it would not be sur
prising if we were now the most
strenuous advocates of prohibition,
Three years ago | did not think
it would come to this for twenty
five years. l did not think the
PEG pie of Ohio would be ready for
prohibition for twenty-fv years,
and in that behalf l wrote and
spoke and voted. I now believe
prohibition will carry next fall by
100000 majority. The madness
of the saloonists has precipitated
this crisis. Henceforth, | and
thousands more like me, are for
anything that will cripple, kill,
trample out and utterly destroy
the whole saloon system of Ohio.
Henceforth, no com promise. "Their
God is their belly" We cannot live
with such people. Self-preserva-
ton is the first law of nature"

Observation-Disclosures
SWARMS OF FANATICS.
Hear What the Liquor Organ
says of The Enduring Issue.

The Champion, organ Of the Liq-
-uor Dealers Association says, I'M
der tie head of The Enduring Issue /:
The election is over, and the
smoke of the battle is disappear
ing; and as the atmosphere clears
up, we can see standing forth in
glaring prominence, one represen-
tative and distinctiye fact, which
it becomes the friends of Personal
Liberty to heed and keep promi-
nently in mind This fact is that
there is a national Prohibition
party organized in this country,
which is bent upon carrying for
ward the tenn perance agitation to
the bitter end. The party which
voted for st. John for president
"means business" 1t is enlisted
for the war, and the fluctuations of
presidential campaigns are mere
subsidiary incidents in it's graud
crusade. 1t has enlisted in its be-
half several great religious organi-
cations, with their Sunday schools
and their attendant swarms of ia
natics, and while the more conser-
vative of these organizations stand
firm against the inroads of frenzied
agitation and morbid zeal, the fan
atical churches with their powerful
discipline constitute great polit-
ical power Outside of the Dem
ocratic and Republican parties,
and to certain extent independ-
ent of either, this party OF Prohibi-
ton looms up like a cloud in the
horizon of Personal Liberty.
Whether it shall assimilate the
Republican party to itself, or pro-
coed regardless thereof is a ques-
ton for the future to decide but the
principle of Prohibition has dis
tictive, organized embodiment, and
is now and henceforth political
entity, which cannot in the future
be blinked or lodged.
Let it then be understood that
the battle for Freedom and Right
on the part of those who desire to
uphold Personal Liberty in this
land, has just fairly opened. The
issues are clearly made. Proscrip-
ton stands defiant, claiming to
WELD the sceptre over mems con-
science, over their thoughts, over
their tastes, over their mornings
and outgoings-in word, claim
ing all that and even more than
the Roundheaded Puritans of Eng
land claimed in that era of fanati-
cism whose wave of frenzy swept
to destruction republic founded
with the best of intentions, and
left a corrupt monarchy in its
place.
There can be in this war no
middle ground. Parties must adj
apt themselves to the situation,
and stand or fall as they enlist in
the cause of Liberty or Oppression.
There may or may not be a read
justment of political lines; but
there can be no REIMBURSEMENT of
the issue.

AProphetic sympathy.

A Baltimore dispatch of Monday says:
In connection with the sad death of
Ssrget. Hampden Sidney Gardner Of the
United States signal corps, one Of the
Greedy explorers, by starvation in the
Arctic regions, a peculiar story is told
by an intimate friend of Sergt. Gardeners
parents, who reside in Philadelphia. On
may ID, while on visit to Philadelphia,
the friend met Col. Gardner, the father
of the sergeant, who is in the employ
of the postofiice secret service division.
The latter stated that he was extremely
anxious about the health of his wife
who seemed slowly failing. For long
time something had been preying on
her mind. That morning she was toe
unwell to eat and then confessed that
her trouble was caused by an uncOn-
trOllable impression that her son was
starving, She had reasoned with her.
self without avail that the expedition
had stores which would last them years
but she had suddenly been seized with
the premOnitiOn that her boy was statv-
ing and that 1t was killing her. On
that day, especially, she was quite over
come. Col. Gardner said that he was
much worried about her. Strange to
relate it was on that day, May IA, that
the last ratiOns were issued to his starv-
ing men by Greedy, and on June IL
young Gardner died, the last Of those
who persisted before the rescue. His
mother seemed to be prepared for the
news Of his death when the sad tidings
wore received.

Our Population.

The population of the United States
on July 1, was about 100000 This is
assertained in the following manner:
For many years the increase in time of
peace has been almost precisely 2 per
cent yearly from excess Of births over
deaths, besides the excess of immigra-
ton. The population June 30, 1880. was
5O,155, 1888; adding 2 per cent. increase,
I. O03,115, and the net immigration of
the fiscal year, 1881, 669,431, we have
51,83S, 1923 as the population June 30, 1881.
Again adding 2 per cent, 1,046,566. and
the net immigration, 1892. we have
b3.653,887 as the population Of June 80,
1882. Again adding 2 per cent, 1.OS3,-
087. and the net immigration, 599,O15,
we have 45,S25,979 as the population
juno 30, 1883. And again adding 2 per
cent, for the current year, 1,1O5,519,
and about $4,000 for immigration-the
number during the fiscal year up to
June 1, having been 454 ,206-we have az
the probable population June 30, 1884
about 56.O82.49S In two years more II
will probably excee d 6OOOO,OOO.

The kind-hearted Kansas Grand Army

swelling the profits OF the Fair Yester-
day the balance OF the two hundred bags
OF corn was offered on Change. The first
lot offered. ten bags. brought seventy.fve
cents per bushel, Mr.. G. l.. Todd pur-
chaser.
Mr.. Todd donated the corn back. and it
was resold to Captain Philip Haxall at
seventy cents per bushel. Captain Haxall
also donated it to II. Z. Lee Camp. 1t was
resold again at market price.
The balance on hand was then put up
and sold to Mr.. G. L. Todd at seventy
cents bushel.
The corn netted about 300.
Yesterday Mr. Norman V. Randolph,
one Of the committee, received a letter
from Messrs. Wylie, Smith Il Co., OF
Baltimore, stating that the five bags OF
corn sent to that city were sold for sl67.
In all, the corn brought to the hands OF
the treasurer over $1,000.
Well done, Kansas friends.

ELEVEN INNINGS AND VICTORY.
A Protracted Struggle md Fine Exhibition
or ball at Newark.


Especial telegraph to the Dispatch.I
NEWARK, n. j., June 5.-The game OF
baseball here this afternoon was one OF
the finest exhibitions ever seen on the
grounds. and the Yirginias won by one
run after protracted struggle OF eleven
innings. At the beginning OF the game
K. Dugan played right field and Nash
caught. In the third inning the players
were changed, and W. Dugan was put be-
hind the bat.
Nash made very fine catch on third
base, which elected tremendous applause.
In the ninth inning the VirginIas tied the
home club, and the tenth inning was
played without any different result. In
the eleventh inning the Domestics failed
to score. Nash, OF the Virginias, came to
the bat and knocked fly to second.
Doyle made base hit and stole second,
although there was dissatisfaction with the
umpire's decision. Smiley went out on
fiy to second base, and johnson got
base hit and brought Doyle home.
AS Doyle was coming home the
ball was thrown home to the catcher,
and the umpire decided that the run
ner was not out. although the people
in the grand stand thought he was. Kisses
were beard all over, and when the umpire
(William Hoover) came off the field
Stephen Dan and the treasurer OF the Do
mestic Association told him that 1t was
bad decision. At this Hoover struck him,
and 4 free fight would have ensued had it
not been for the police. AS 1t was, the
manager OF the Domestics telegraphed to
the secretary OF the League in Philadel-
phia to have the umpire taken away from
Newark. The following Is the score:
