The board of county commission
ers are to be congratulated upon
their success in their efforts to re-
duce the interest debt Of the county.
They effected a sale Of new bonds of
the county at seven per cent interest,
the proceeds thereof used in paying
off the old bonds issued in 1879,
which were drawing ten per cent
interest thereby eifecting a saving to
the county of five hundred dollars
per annum. The new bonds were
sold for about per cent premium,
which speaks well for financial
standing of the county.

We don't know whether the peo-
pie Of Elk Point are an exception or
not, but it does seem hal they have
very little consideration these warm
days for the clerks in our stores.
After the boys have sweltered all
day in the hot store, and when they
should get out for the fresh air Of
the evening, the people around town
come in to do their trading and keep
them there, often till ten o'clock at
night, and then they must 60 home,
tired and done out to 60 to bed only
to have the same thing repeated
next day. The boys are willing to
work all day and do up goods, but
they ought to have nearly the same
privilege that other workingmen do,
and quit when the day is done; but
to work half the night besides, il
outrageous. They protest.

Howard Mosier, five miles south
of town, opened up his new house
last Friday night for a dance, and
there were 62 numbers taken. The
parties danced until daylight next
morning, and all who attended speak
of it as a most enjoyable affair. OF
course it couldn't be otherwise un-
der the big, fat, generous Towards
management. MI. Mosier now has
the finest house in Union county,
and there is no one in the county
that we know who is more deserv-
ing Of such an elegant residence.

"PROHlBITION AND COMMON
SENSE"

The National Temperance Society
has just published in pamphlet
form an address of great interest,
entitled "Prohibition and Common
Sense" by John Bascom, D. D., l.
l.. D., President of Wisconsin State
University. 1t presents in a mas
terly manner the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which the demand for
the prohibition of the liquor traffic
is based, sets forth in striking
light the objects to be attained,
shows the true function of law, and
most effectually disposes of the
liquor-plea of personal liberty"
1t is one of the most valuable con-
tributions yet made to the litera-
ture of the prohibition movement,
and ought to be scattered broadcast
through the nation. 24pp.; price
10 cents. Address ]. N. STEARNs,

Prohibition in Kentucky.

The following from a Kentucky
paper is sent US by FREEMAN
subcriber in the land of Blue Grass
and fine horses:
The Kentucky prohibionists are
arranging to call State conven-
ton, to meet in Louisville, on the
18th of March, to adopt a Plan for
an active State Canvass in the Leg
lslatlve races next year.
The temperance people will
never be able to secure more de-
termined set of men on the temper
ance question, than the last Legis-
lature contained. If there were
more than two bills looking to the
prohibition of the sales OF intoxi-
eating liquors, defeated, we fail to
recall them. In fact it was hard
to get a man to raise his voice
against a temperance bill, and SO
decided was the feeling on prohibl-
ton that not one in ten of the pro-
hibitlon bills were read. The SIM
pie presentation of such was taken
as sufficient evidence that it
would be passed, and the Speaker
would suspend the rules and the
constitution, declare the bill car
ried, and leave the Clerks to COM
plote the work. That the next
Legislature will be a temperance
body, we have no doubt. The time
has come when a man who opposes
prohibition, has little show for pub
lie honors. Candidates and office
holders may drink, but they must
not run contrary to the public
pulse, if they want to continue in
favor.

Sensible Observation.

The Pittsburgh Dispatch, that
after the election was among
the foremost in assailing st. John,
now makes this sensible observa-
ton:
1.-THE emphatic manner in
which St. John challenges the pro-
duction of the proofs which have
been alleged to exist that he con-
Quoted his Prohibition campaign
with reference to pecuniary consid-
erations, apparently leaves the Re-
publican papers that have made
the assertion no alternative but to
put up the proof or to shut up their
mouths"

WEST VIRGINIA
At the WORLDS Exposition.

The New Orleans Times Democrat
makes the following mention OF
West Virginia's exhibit at the Ex-
position:
"This being essentially forestry
and mining State, its exhibits
arkedly show its wealth in these
lines.-Here are seen huge blocks
of semi bituminous, splint, camel
gas and coking Goals.
These varieties of coal are found
throughout the length and breadth
of that portion of the State west of
and including the Allegheny
mountains, while from the counties
of Berkeley and Morgan are speci-
mems of the immense beds of su-
perior anthracite coal. The sam
pies of forestry exhibited, va
riety of hard wood that in extent
and quality are said to be unsur-
passed 10 the world.
The iron ores massed in the space
of this State consist mainly of lem
onite, red and brown hematites,
specalar ores, etc There is an ar
tistic display of elegant terra Gotta
wares, an industry with promis-
ing future for this State. But
eclipsing all the other displays of
West Virginia is that of her woods,
which, for variety and fneness, and
length of fibre and weight of fleece.
are said to compare favorably, and
are thought by many to excel those
OF any State in the Union"

A sooialistio Cur Arrested.

CLEVELAND, July l3-The strikers
held a meeting in Newburg this afternoon,
William J.. Gorsuch. editor of Socialistic
sheet 10 Chicago, was prcscn, and made a
speech. He advocated theft. arson and
murder, saying the rich had no right to
hold property. He grew very excited and
defed the police and state authorities, and
finally the federal government, saving he
would fight like n tiger if any one at
tempted to arrest him. While he was
making these statements a policeman was
quietly making his way toward the plat
form, when Gorsuch stopped for a min
ute to mop his brow. The policeman
tapped him on the shoulder and he meekly
permitted himself to be taken to the po-
lice station and locked up. He is 80 years
old and was charged with using language
to incite riot He arrived here this morn
ing from Pittsburg.
The strikers remained in doors to-day
The plate mill will be started again in the
morning and all serious trouble is thought
to be over. The Polish Catholic priest
has explained the situation to his parish
toners and many Of them are anxious to
return to work. The Bohemians are still
firm and pretend they will object when all
the mills again resume operations.
