UNIONTOWN

A TEMPERANCE SOCIETY, called the
Young Folks Temperance Band, has
been organized through the efforts OF
Mrs Ella Lyle, and two Interesting
meetings have been held. A leader will
be chosen for each evening, and there
will be various exercises, such as slng>
ing, reading, citations, &c. Mrs Lyle
has recognized the true principle in
temperance reform, and that is to make
pure the fountain-also that supply
indicates demand, and that a cultiva-
ton of temperance principles will do
much to close the places wnere liquor Is
sold. She is deserving the assistance OF
all who favor the cause, and has their
best wishes for the success of the Band.

Superior Excellence.

The reasons for PERUNA's superior ex-

mans lecture, reported in his book on the

from page to page 10 though the whole
book should be read and studied to get the
full value of this tar excellent remedy.
These books can be had at all the drug

pleasure in testifying to your medicines.

Col. E. Finger, Ashland, Ohio, writes:
" I am happy to say l have used several

and my health has been greatly improved
by it. cheerfully recommend PERUNA
to all who suffer with heart trouble, as
being an invaluable medicine"

writes: =" My father-in-law, who resides
with me has been using your PERUNA
for kidney disease, which has afflicted him

A BELLAIRE dispatch to the Pitts
burgh Commercial Gazette of Tuesday,
says:
THE Democrats in this State are max
ing a tremendous effort to defeat John
Sherman for the SaRatorship and during
the past few days several emissaries
have been in this vicinity, and Col. c. L..
Poorman, one of the Representatives
elect from this county, has been asked
if he would retire from politics for S20,-
600; or, if he did not care to retire from
active politics at this time, if be could
secure three of his felloW-members in
the Legislature to vote for himself for
United States Senator if guarantee
were given that every Democrat in both
branches of the Legislature would vote
for him. Colonel Poormsn is compara-
lively poor man. but declined to enter
tain any such propositions"
The astonishing thing about this story
is that any of the gang should presume
to approach q man of Col. Poorman's 8
character with any such proposition.

OhiO's Humiliation.

1t is shame to our civilization that
such frauds as were perpetrated in this
city at the last election have proved sue
cessful, and that the men in whose inter
est they were committed have been
placed in positions of honor and power.
The frauds are undeniable, and We
judge that no intelligent person in Ohio
pretends that frauds were not perpetra
ted. And yet they are allowed to sue
ceed. 1t is cause for, something more
than partisan protest and clamor. The
success of an outrage like this is men>
ace to our liberties, and no man, WHAT
ever his political creed and affiliations,
can afford to look serenely upon the sue
cess of such scheme. The day Of
reckoning is inevitable. Freemen will
not endure such things forever,
and scoundrelism like this will be fol-
lowed, sooner or later, by some form of
retributiOn. We do not advise violence.
We want no more mobs in Cincinnati
But by means of the law, redress should
be sought, and that Immediately. The
case Involves interests very much larger
than the election of a Senator. Free
government can survive the election Of
any man to the Senate of the United
Stltes, but free government cannot
survive such crimes as have been
committed in connection with this Ohio
election. Free government is already at
an end when seoundrels commit forge
ries on tally-sheets, and the forgeries
are counted as true returns. 1t is hard
ly worth while to 60 the trouble OF vo>
ting unless you have a true count; in
deed, voting is the baldest imaginary
farce when the issue is to be determined.
not by the votes cast, but by men with
out conscience who make up the returns.
We are not much given to the use of
strong language, but this is an outrage
which it is impossible to denouOce in
terms too emphatic Tne individual
candidates involved we do not know, and
we have no interest in them as indiyidr
uals. The men on each side may be
equally good or equally bad. We have
no interest in that question now; but an
outraged ballot-bOX is threat against
our freedom which every honest man
ought to resent.-Western Christian
Advocate.

The Dead of the Past Year.

The past year has been one notable for
the loss of leading men in war, politics,

that the False Prophet, FL Mahdi's death

GEN. BOYNTON writes 10 the CONNER
cial Gazette from Washington that men
of affairs gathering at the Capital from
all parts of the country speak of Ohio as
IA disgraced and degraded State. They
look upon the triumph of gross and al
most unheard of frauds in Cincinnati,
and the failure to punish political forge
ry in Columbus. as evidence that tile peo-
pie of Ohio are SO apathetic or so moral
ly obtuse that they will submit tamely
to outrages as wicked as any ever report
ed from the South. The result is that
the commonwealth is losing caste in ev
cry way, and its material interests must
suffer from its less of reputation. 1t is
impossible to estimate the present and
future damage inflicted by the Demo
cratic party uyon the people of Ohio du>
ring the last few years, but it is enor-
nous at best, and century of constant
defeat would not adequately punish that
odious organization for its evil work.
