The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-09-10
We are in favor of taking Ohio out

We are in favor of taking Ohio out
of the list of pivotal States.
Finally, amending Mr.. Sherman's
last sentence by change of two or
three words, 1 add let us place Ohio
where she ought always to stand, in
the forefront of Democratic States,
for the Union, for liberty and justice
to all, without respect to race, ma
tivity Or creed.
We do not propose to allow Mr..
Sherman to go through Ohio pro-
claiming the Old Testament of the
bloody shirt without opposing to it
the gospel of union and love, har-
mony and good will among the sec
tions and without asking him the
question why the Republicans of
Tennessee were sc madly in pursuit
of o fair election and a free ballot
that they twice broke up the Legis
~lasure of that State to avoid a regis
tration law, while the Democratic
Legislature of Ohio adopted the first
stringent registration law yer pass
ed in the State for the cities Of
Cleveland and Cincinnati.
The attempt of a few Republican
papers to make political capital out
of the law, preventing the sale of in
toxicating liquors within two miles
of any agricultural fair, by charging
that it was enacted by the last Legis-
lature, won't do. Section 6946 of the
Revised Statutes has been a law in
Ohio since 1854, just thirty-one
years, and reads as follows:
"Whoever sells Intoxicating IL
quors at or within twelve hundred
yards Of the administration or main
central building of the Institution
for Feeble minded youth, or the Ohio
Soldiers and Sailors Orphan Home,
or within two miles of the boundary
lines ofthe Ohio Reform Farm, south
of Lancaster, in Fairfield County, or
qcithin tWo miles of the place vhere
any agricultural. fair is being held,
shall be fined not more than 500 nor
less than $25, or imprisoned not more
than thirty days, OF both; and, on
conviction of the owner or keeper
thereof, the place where such intox;-
eating liquors are sold, shall, by or
der Of the Court. be shut up and
abated as a nuisance"
The above section was amended
last May, because the Central Asy-
lum for the Insane authorities made a
complaint of a saloon near that insti-
tuition which sold liquor to employees.
The amending was by inserting the
words: columbus Asylum for the
Insane" Page SIS Of the House
Journal shows that this bill passed
by a vote of Sc to 16, out of los. OF
the &C who voted for this bill, 36 are
Republicans. All but nine Republi-
cans in the House voted for it.

EafaI ACCIDENT.

Yesterday forenoon, Charles Pierce, aged
sixteen, son Of DR.. Pierce, the dentist, took his
gun and went to the shore in the rear of his
fathers house, on Ocean street, at Wocdford's.
He had been gone but short time when the
report of a gun was heard, and immediately
afterwards young Pierce was seen to run q
short distance towards the house and fall.
Help was summoned, and several neighbors
were quickly on the spot. The unfortunate
youth was bleeding badly from wound under
his right arm, and expired in a few moments
His mother and physician arrived just before
he passed away. 1t is supposed that young
Pierce was leaning on his gun, when it was &C
cidentally discharged, the contents entering
his body under the right arm, and passing out
through the shoulder.
DR.. Pierce was notified by telephone of the
accident, and Immediately went to his home.
The accident has caused deep feeling of sad
ness throughout the community. Young Pierce
was youth OF much promise. He had re-
ceived his education in the public schools of
Deering. Coroner Gould visited the scene of
the accident yesterday, but deemed an inquest
unnecessary.
The Portland daily press. [volume] (Portland, Me.) 1862-1921, 1885-04-08

reporter of the PRESS visited number Of
Portland grocers yesterday, in order to ascer-
tain what would be the probable effects of the
law enacted by the last legislature prohibiting
the manufacture and sale Of oleomargarine in
this State. 1t appears from the statement of
the parties visited that there has been little or
no demand for oleomargarine in the city. A
considerable trade in the article has been
maintained here, but the sales have nearly all
been made to parties from away. A great deal
OF oleomargarine is consumed in manufactur-
ing towns, and much Of it goes to the cheap
boarding houses near the saw mills in the
country, and to the camps of lumbermen. 1t
is claimed that oleomargsrine is better than
the butter bought for the use of these people.
1t seemed to be generally conceded that the
oleomargarine is not detrimental to health if
properly prepared.
On the other hand, grocers say that the sale
of oleomargarine tends to lower the quality of
certain grades of butter. Oleomargarine
which sells at wholesale for twelve or fifteen
cents pound, completes with butter selling at
twenty. Consequently the butter makers
lower the grade of their product, and it is
claimed that they have used oleomargarine for
the purpose of sdulteration. irresponsible
parties have been in the habit of selling oleo-
law on the subject, and its prohibition will, it
is thought, prevent this and go far towards es-
tablishing better grade OF butter. This feel
ing is prevalent among the farmers, the butter
making class.

DIR. j. w. Whidden left Saco today for Port
land, where he will enter larger field for the
practice of his profession. He is to take the
place of DR.. G. FL. Burr, recently deceased, and
is to reside on Congress street. DR.. Whidden
has been citizen of Saco but few years,
having come to that place little more than
four and a half years ago. He entered the
city stranger, not even knowing a person,
and began the practice of medicinewith almost
the same condition of things. He at once be-
came popular among the people, and received
liberal amount of their patronage. which he
has sustained until the present time. While
we may regret his departure from our midst,
yet we rejoice at his good fortune in receiving
the position which he now enters, and we feel
safe in predicting that his career in broader
fields of labor, will be as successful as In Saco
His family will not leave Saco for about two
weeks.-Biddeiord Journal.

The Falmouth Church Trou.,e.

We have been requested to publish COM
munication from member of the Congrsga-
tional church in Falmouth relative to the re-
cent meeting of the church at which a vote
was passed expressing confidence in the inno-
csnce of the Rev. I. P. Smith, who has recent
ly left the church The substance of the COM
munication is that the meeting was packed
with Mr.. Smiths friends, and therefore did not
voice correctly the opinion of the whole church
as it purportsd to do. We cannot see that any
good purpose would be subserved by publish
ing the article in full The controversy among
Mr.. Smiths Pensioners is one that it is utter
ly impossible TO settle in the newspapers. That
can only be done by the judicial inquiry which
we understand is row pending. Each side now
claims that the other has acted unfairly in the
matter, and it is altogether probable that both
are right in this respect.
