THE Prohibilionists all over the coun-
try are opening vigorous attack upon
the Republican party. The saloonkeep-
ers all over the country are making an
attack upon the Republican party with
the same vigor. In the Prohibitlonist
camp it is averred that the Republican
party is the friend and champion of free
whisky. Among the saloonkeepers it is
asserted that Republicanism is synony-
nous with Temperance fanaticism, and
that the Republican party is aiming TO
close up all the drinking places. The
two parties disagree in everything, ex-
cept their hostility to the grand old Re-
publican party. They work together in
opposing it, Cold water and Bourbon
whisky, unite to secure its defeat. The
who has been forced to
close his groggery through the operation
of Republican law, and the PrOhibi-
zionist who wants all grOgshOps shut up,
are united against the Republican party.
As Emerson puts it, they pair of in in
sane parties" Mutual antagonisms unite
their extreme prejudices to prevent the
sure and steady progress of reform. The
liquor men are actuated by an absolute
knowledge that the Republican party is
determined to regulate the saloon BUSH
ness and compel it to pay a tax, while
allowing the people Of town or city to
determine by vote whether they will
permit the traffic in their midst or not.
The Prohibitionsts are unwilling to ac-
cept the reform secured by the Dow law
and make the impracticable demand that
the traffic be abolished by one single
legislative enactment. The Republican
party moves in the direction of reform.
It is between the two extremes. 1t is
practical and its policy is certain to be
productive of the best possible results.
1t could have no stronger recommends
ton than the fact that it is attacked by
these two extremes; one den anding the
and other asking for an
unrestrained liqaor traffic. The extreme
temperance laws Oh our statute books
few years ago never closed saloon or
in any way regulated or diminished the
liquor traffic. The Dow law has closed
a great many saloons and the Repubh
can party of Ohio will stand by it,
Gle veland Leader.

A Surprise Party

A very enjoyable surprise party was
given at Mr.. solomon Bentley's on Tues
day, september 7th. 1t was given by
his children, in honor of the anniversary
of his birthday. His children all parts
cipated except Mr.. ). Bentley, of Water
loo, Iowa, from whom a congrat tulatory
letter Was read.
Besides the children aud grandchildren
there were present MrSMargaret Thomp-
son, Mrs David Brown, Mr. and Mrs s NJ
Thompson, Mrs Henry and her two
daughters, of Oakland, CAL. Mrs Tens
pleton, Mrs Arick and daughter,o of Wash
ington City; Mrs DR. Hewetson and the
Misses Hewetsen, Mr. Parshall and
daughter, Mrs and Rev Thos Balph; and
Miss Nettie Frazier. of Allegheny, Pa.
After spending some time in the fore
noon in social intercourse, the company
repaired to grove, east of the mansion,
where beuntiful dinner was served,
which reflected great credit upon the
children who provided the repast. A
pleasant hour was here spent. After
the fepast the entire company was pho+
tographed by an artist from Louisville.
The afternoon was spent in the grove in
social converse, and in some pleasant
amusementS
Mr. Bentley was the recipient of
number of valuable presents from his
children and friends. A somewhat in
formal presentation of the gifts was
made by Mr. Balph, to which Mr. Bentley
feelingly and appropriately responded.
Among the gifts may be mentioned a
gold-mounted ebony cane, gold eye
glasses, and an autograph album. Be-
fore the party dispersed they inscribed
their names, with some appropriate SEN
timeDt. in the album, which incident
suggested the following impromptul lines:
The names which here are seen,
Inscribed upon this roll,
Express the affection of the heart,
The friendship of the soul.
Tb' inscriptions here will fade,
The tablet will decay:
But friendships men orieS will last
Till we have passed away.
We meet to part again.
But friendship S still the same;
We part to meet where nobler joys
And purer friendships reign.
Farewell-we shed no tear;
Our home is in the skies;
Wen meet when Time shall be no more,
When all the saints shall rise.
Then friendships purest ties
Will bind US all to Thee
And to each other-in the realms
Of Gods eternity. = Com.

Sherman at the State Fair.

At the formal opening of the new
State fair grounds at Columbus last
week, addresses were made by a number
of prominent citizens, among them, Hon.
John Sherman. The speech of the Sem
ator was addressed especially to the ag
riculturalists, and was full of practical
thoughts, worthy of their consideration.
He said that the invention of labOr-SaV'
ing implements has entirely changed the
status of the farmers during the last
half century, and while these labor
saving inventions have come to staythe
outlet to labor, which formerly existed
in the great West, has been cut off 10y
the taking up of the vast tracts of unoc-
cupied land. The railroad has also con>
tributed to the change by hauling grain
from the great West to the seaboard as
from Ohio or Pennsylvania. These facts
suggest changes in our legislation con-
cerning railroads and immigration. Both
need to be regulated by acts of Congress.
The Senator pointed out in his usual
clear and forcible way the direction
which legislation should take, and to
which public sentiment tends, but he
would not discuss the subjects at length,
because they were matters for the deter
mination of Congress. He did not hes
itate to say, however. that I'VE should
not be so anxious as we have been to in
crease the number Of laborers imported
into this country from abroad" He re-
ferred to three acts of Congress, passed
within the last six years, to limit and
restrain immigration. He inclines to
the opinion that the principles of these
laws may, in time, be extended to other
Objectionable classes, with great benefit
to our country"
The Senator's remarks concerning
the tariff, while free from any political
allusiOn, expressed admirably the doc
trines so often proclaimed by the Re-
publican party. We quote few SEN
tences:
There are some points upon which We
all in Ohio ought to agree. One is that
whatever principle is applied it ought to
extend to the productions of the farm
as well as the workshOp-to wool as well
as to woolens. Another is that it ought
to extend to the raw articles of prOduc
ton as well as the finished and most
elaborate article of Ornament,to coal and
iron ore as well as to steel wire and hoop
skirts. No distinction should he made
in the application of principles of taxa
tion so as to benefit one class of consu>
ners at the expense of another. 1t is no
secret that tell you when L say that in
a very broad sense am in favor of pre-
serving American markets for Ameri
can productions so that our labor may
be diversified and our la6orers employed.
1t ought to be the policy of our govern
ment to foster and encourage every in
dustry suited to our climate, our SOIL and
the habits of our people, and that in>
cludes nearly everything necessary for
human life.

THE Philadelphia Ledger calls the
attention of scholars VINO begin their
studies again on Monday, to the fact
that "Mitchell's Peak" not "Clingman's,' y
is "the hightest east of the Rockies y
The Geological Survey has been engaged
for some years in preparing map of
the Appalachian mountain region, the
vicinity of the Black mountains, in

survey. The Survey determined that
Prof. Mitchell, not Gen. Clingman, was
entitled to have his name attached to
the highest peak, and the height of each
was recently accurately determined.
The result has been transference of
names. What was known as Clingman's
Peak is now Mitchell's-6,7 feet in
height while lower peak on the same
ridge, formerly Mitchel's, is now Cling
