THE PHILADELPHIA Press saws:

at is now nearly month since Professor
Calderwood made his assertion that the Pro
hibition campaigns in Ohio were paid for by
the Democrats. He gave specific facts to s1ls-
tain his charges, and challenged both Pro
hibitionists and Democrats to deny his state
ments. The latter have prudently said moth
ing, but the former have tried to silence Mr.
Calderwood by heaping abuse upon him. He
has borne it patiently for time, but now he
proposes to go to Ohio and meet his Pro
hibition accusers face to face. He will make
twelve speeches in the State during Septem-
Der, and will show conolusiyely that the Pro
hibition committee sold out. aud that the
Democratic committee was the purchaser. AS
he was present at the transaction, he says he
will give the names of tho three big-gun
ProbiOitionists connected with the scheme
and challenge their denial IL is apparent
that the Prohibitionists bit off more than they
can mastcate when they attacked Professor
Calderwood."

THE New York Sun saws:

''Ihe most plausible explanation of the pre-
vailing commercial depression in Great
Britain and elsewhere is found in the recent
rise in the value of gold. For five years or
more prices of all kinds of comm1 lities, owing
to this RISE have been steadily fIiing, and no
body can tell when the fall VIII stop. Conse-
quently, nobody is willing to manufacture or
buy more goods than are absolutely needed
for immediate USE and nobody wants to in
vest in machinery for manufacturing more
goods than can be manufactured with the
machinery now in existence. Hence there is
a two-fold stagnation, one of the production of
merchandise itself, and the other of the pro
duction of the machinery for producing it.
The world has settled down to dull jog trot
of hand to-mouth trade, and will not get out
Of it until there is a prospect of profit by going
faster. Protection in Great Britain, like the
Suspension Of silver coinage here. will have
no effect. Nothing but rise in prices, or at
least cessation of the fall in prices, will help
the matter, and that is much more likely to
result from abandoning the gold standard
than from obstinately maintaining it,"

A CANAL is generally regarded as a slow,
old-fashioned means of transportation. Yet
during last year the Erie canal carried more
grain to New York city by ten million bushels
than did all the railways combined. 1t was
the canal that made New York greater grain
market than Philadelphia and Baltimore The
purpose now is to deepen it by a foot and to
raise its banks by as much. so as to increase
its carrying capacity.

WHEN Rev. DR.. De La Matyr entered into
party politics the bishop of his conference was
very decided that he should take "location,"
and he did. The Methodist Church does not
look with much favor upon the abandonment
of the work of the pulpit by its ministry
When DR.. Leonard comes before his annual
conference he may find the same sentiment
confronting him that confronted DR.. De La
Matyr. He may be 'located" until his party
campaign is over, after which he can attend
to the work of pastor.

THE most sincere Prohibitionist can but re-
greet the division that has come into their
ranks because of the supreme folly of few
restless spirits who were determined to be big
men in an independent political party. What
shall be said of the grief every loyal member
of the Methodist Church must feel over such
a state of affairs as has been precipitated by
the candidacy of DR.. Leonard?

WESTERN METHODS IN THE EAST.

It happens every now and then that the
citizens Of certain rural districts in Indiana
tired of the attempt to enforce law by legal
means against liquor-sellers take matters into
their own hands, and burn or otherwise de-
stroy the Objectionable saloons in the neigh
borhood It is curious to note the instant
condemnation which these lawless acts meet
from newspapers and individuals never known
to grow indignant over the violations
of law committed daily by the whisky dealers.
1t is also noticeable that in spite Of
the stern reproofs administered to the
perpetrators and would be perpetrators of such
"outrages' against the honest industrious
and poor saloon-keepeTs, and the suggestion
that they, the destructive citizens be prose
cuted and punished, prosecution seldom fol-
lows and when it does comes to nothing
The owner Of the burned out or drained-out
saloon is usually only too glad to get away
from such offensive partisan neichbors, and
peace is apt to reign thereabouts for consid-
cradle time after his departure The people
Of Boston have frequently been treated to
moral dissertations upon the evil of enforcing
the law according to the reprehensible Indiana
method; but, being observant have also noted
the other circumstance mentioned without
having their attention urgently called thereto
either. In addition to being observant the
Bostonians are an initiative people, and it has
occurred to some of them to test the Indiana
plan right at home. Like the young woman
who was advised not to marry, they resolved
were warned against. Possibly too, like the
rural Indianians who ruthessly destroyed 50
much good whisky these Bostonians
had suffered untold sorrows from the
destruction wrought by the beverage
furnished in the saloons; fathers and husbands
had perhaps gone down to DEATH sons were
being lured along the slippery path, and there
seemed no remedy. At all events, the Indiana
plan has been tried in Boston. The "Elms'
which is described as "well known resort"
and seems to have been a dive" has been
entered by ''vandals," who left the establish
ment total wreck They did not burn. but
they cut and slashed, not recklessly., but with
system. OIL paintings Were cut up by the
midnight visitors, who seem to have had no
souls for art; chairs to the number of $50 were
broken into kindlng wood; large quantity
of bills, paid and unpaid, were torn to frag-
ments; and, GROWING infamy of all, two
thousand dollars worth Of fine liquors were
wasted by being emptied into puddle on
the cellar floor. There is no clue to the per
petrators, the enormous dog left in charge of
the premises declining to speak on the subject
or to tell why he offered no resistance to the
intruders. 1t was all very wrong, Of course;
law which is not ignored by whisky sellers
and the proprietors Of dives should be re-
spected by their victims at all costs. Never
theless, if the men and women who did the
deed-doubtless there were women in the par
ty-if they are discovered, some curiosity will
be felt as to whether the punishment recon-
mended by the righteous press of the city as

SUPPOSE Dr. Leonard did take ale and toast
for dyspepsia by prescription of his physician.
There is no harm in that; the harm is in the
heated denial of the story as though the
charge were heinous crime, and then being
compelled to ''crawfish." 1t is conscious false
hood, and not the taking of ale and toast as
medicine, for which DR., Leonard is arraigned
before the bar of public opinion

that. Girls in the swim of sin will hardly

Few working men realize the
amount of rest and refreshment there
is in a bath; fact is, the body cannot
really rest unless it is clean. On
this subject we quote from the
Farmers Friend:
"Resting consists of two pro-
cesses: throwing off the effete matter
of the body and assimilating q new
supply of fresh material from the
blood. Now, when the farmer, or
anybody else goes to bed in the
sOiled Undertaking of the day,
with his skin covered with thin
coating of dirt and perspiratiOn, the
system can't get rid Of its efete mat
ter, because the pores are clogged
up; while the absorbents of the skin
actually convey back into the system
the poisonous matter once thrown
off, but which has been allowed to
remain on the skin and clothes. 1t
should be the rule Of all never to go
to bed dirty"
Elaborate bathing arrangements,
bath room, tub, etc, arc not abso-
lutely necessary. A good sponge
and two quarts of water, cold in
summer but warm in winter, will re-
move the dust and perspiratiOn, and
make your sleep, in truth, tired
natures sweet restorer."
