Albany special says Frederick J. Wheeler,
Chairman of the Prohibition State Execu-

Convention at Syracuse, September 9Th,
viii be the largest political gathering of
temperance men ever held in New York.
Our campaign is already begun. | have
arranged for LOCO meetings before Novem-
Der. Prohibitionists from other States have
volunteered to speak in New York We
shall draw heavily upon the temperance
people of Kansas. Illinois, Iowa. Massa-
chusetts, Maine and Ohio. Neal Dow. who
was against us last year, and John b.
Finch, of Kansas will speak for us all
through the campaign. St John will make
number Of political speeches. We don't
care if we do help the Democratic party
While at present the execution of our aims
may help one party, we are looking to the
future. The old parties are not only I'M
willing but unable TO handle the liquor
question. 1t will do the Republicans no
good to nominate as candidates for the Leg
islature men who will support the pro
hibition amendment We shall not vote
for them. Our cause viii not succeed until
we have National Prohibition party"
a GIut in Hops.
New YORK, July 20th.-The statement
recently made by some hop men that the
present glut in their market was owing in
part to the use of g substitutes for hops by
brewers is emphatically denied by those
gentlemen. The hop dealers show by sta
tisticS that if there We're the same amount
of hops put in each barrel of beer as for
merly, namely, one and a half pounds. the
entire crop of the world would not have
sUtliced for the amount Of beer that has
been brewed in recent years. a well-known
brewer denied this yesterday, saying 4
few years ago this State grew nearly all the
hops that were raised in this country. The
growers were comparatively few in num-
ber and had regular monopoly of the
business. They dictated prices and we had
TO conform TO them, for, owing to the
heavy tariff, the importation of them. ex-
cept for the higher grades OF beer, was ont
OF all question. But now immense crops
are raised in California, Oregon and Wash
ington Territory, and owing to the greater
iernhty OF the soil on the Pacific coast they
can be produced much cheaper there than
IN the East. and Will soon be of as fine a
quality in every respect. Ii is this that
makes them SO cheap at present, not be-
cause we use any less of them, for we do
not. There are too many rivals in the
brewery business for q man to put an infe-
rior article on the market, and be dare not
maze anything deleterious to health. even
