One night last week the Salvation
Army" held general meeting in San
Francisco, attended by delegations
from different parts Of the State.
During the exercises Ii the church
building, mob Of hoodlums attacked
the building, put the inmates to
fight, and mobbed them in the street.
The building was badly wrecked.
The methods of worship adopted by
'Salvationists" may not be approved
by intelligent christians, as q rule, or
to any considerable extent, but it is a
sad commentary on the civilization
of this time and country, that re-
ligious meeting can be dispersed by a
mob.
Ofice-seeking is said to have been
somewhat diversified, few days ago,
in the office of the Secretary of the
Interior, by an incident which showed
up the typical hungry Democratic
office-seeker" A man entered and
applied to Mr. Lamar for position,
claiming to have done great things
for the Democracy. Receiving the
answer that nothing could be done
just then he informed the Secretary
that he must have help that he had
not eaten anything that day, because
ef being too poor to buy it. Lamar
gave him dollar, and he left. It is
undoubtedly true that hundreds of
Democrats believed it was only neces-
sary to go on to Washington, to get
into well-paying Offices.
At Plymouth, Pa, there has been
raging for some time plague Of
typhoid fever. several hundred cases
having been reported. OF course so
unusual a thing must be investigated,
and the result Of the Investigations
in this case show that the trouble
comes Of filthy water. The town is
supplied with water from reservoirs,
and these are supplied from creek.
Above the reservoirs are two houses.
At one of these vault was draining
into the creek, and at the other all
refuse was thrown into the yard, to
be washed into the creek. That snch
condition of things could remain
for any length of time without at
tracting the attention Of the authori-
ties, seems remarkable. And that
any one could be so brutal and filthy
as the occupants of these houses, is
more remarkable still. By this filth
ness on the part Of two families, the
lives Of an entire city were jeopar-
died.
A very able correspondent Of the
Commercial Gazette has discovered a
great scheme, on the part of the
Democratic managers. This scheme
is none other than an attempt to
catch the Temperance vote of Ohio
by declaring in favor of Prohibition.
The Temperance people are of course
warned against the wickedness of the
Democratic party. This is truly
scheme, and it is not sur
prising that the able correspondent |
should expose it for the benefit of the
people. In the first
place, the Democratic party will never
declare in favor Of Prohibition until |
after the Republican party. does. In |
the next place, the Republican party
has no business meddling with the
question in the present
There is no Temperance
before the people, but there
is very large element of Temper
ance voters in the Republican ranks,
and they are voters who cannot be
driven into any method regarded by
them as improper. Let the Temper
ance question alone. Let the Scott
Law alone. Nominate a good, old
fashioned Republican, and Republi-
IAN victory will follow. Fail to do
;hese things, and have repetition of
;he last Guberantorial campaign.

On last Thursday afternoon, the
Sullivan Printing Establishment, in
Cincinnati was discovered to be on
ire, resulting from the explosion of
,asoline stove on the second floor.
The flames ran up the elevator chute

means of escape. A number Of them

he excitement Mr.. John Sullivan
roved himself a genuine hero. He
xerted himself in getting out inmates

op Of the building, until it was plain
hat he could do no more, when he
tempted to descend. The rope l
urned off above him, and he was
