These People Mean Business.

We clip this from the Wayne, o.
Herald:
1t does a Prohibitionist's soul
good to have fair, square treatment
occasionally, in this day of political
intolerance and abuse. The cor
respondent of that stalwart Repub-
lican paper, the Chicago Inter
Ocean in writing up the Illinois
State Prohibition Convention
which was recently held in the
State House at Springfield H.,
says:
"As for the convention as a unit.
It is for separate policy of action !;
as for its makeup, it is more than
two-thirds of Democratic antece-
dents; as for its future prospects,
no man can say. These 400 or 500
people, men and women, are not
cranks; they are not disturbers of
the public peace they do not seek
to disturb society. On the con-
trary, they are reputable citizens
and taxpayers. Of my own
knowledge | can say that not less
than 800 out of 500 in the Senate
chamber pay taxes on from 5000 to
$50, 900 worth of real estate. The
delegates are enthusiastic, but
they are honorable, law abiding
taxpayers, and Major Christian
and Governor Oglesby touched the
popular chord when in their
speeches they said this prohibition
movement was in sympathy with
the great American idea that this
is free country. i x x These
people mean business the Prohibi-
tionists are factor in politics.
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1886-07-21
We Don't Think SO.

A prominent Pennsylvania Re-
publican, Mr.. J. D. Weeks, recent
Iy expressed the idea that the COM
ing Republican State Convention
might conclude to insert in its
platform q plank pledging itself to
submit q constitutional prohibitory
amendment. Concerning such q
plan he said
"In taking such step the Re-
publican party would not champ,
ion the cause of prohibition, but
would be simply demanding an ex-
preston of popular will on that
question. This would be all that
the Prohibitionists could in reason
ask"
We do not agree with Mr.. Weeks
that this is all the Prohibitionists
:s'could in reason ask" We are
quite sure that they have no bust
ness to be satisfied with any such
plan. Prohibitionists want prohi-
bition that prohibits. They want
a party that is not afraid to cham
pion that which is right. They
want policy that is dictated by
principle, not principle adopted
for policy.
That sort Of a game wont do, gen
tlemeD. The Prohibitionlstf
mean business. We are not after
prohibitory amendment or a pro
hibitory law, but Prohibition !

NO Compromise.

Joshua L. Bailey, Of Philadelphia,
writes the following to Gen. Clin-
ton B. Fisk, the Prohibition candi-
date for governor of New Jersey.
Il have slowly and reluctantly
but irresistibly reached the conclu-
sion that there is no course left for
Prohibitionists but Independent
party action. The time has fully
come to draw the lines closely.
There can be but two sides to this
question. We can offer no oompro-
mise and accept of none; but lift
ing high our standard let US call
all men unto it, and press on to the
victory"

ALONG THE PROHIBITION
LINES.

GEoRGIA.-Rev. J. w. Lee, writ
ing from Carrolton, Ca, says: "The
results are marvellous. The trade
of the town has been more than
doubled. Before the whisky traffic
was abolished the trade of the
place was 100000 year; now it
is over 100000 year, ana l do
not know single merchant who
would not vote against the liquor
traffic purely on business grounds"
M1ss1ssIPPI.-The contest on Pro-
hibition in Lauderdale and Clark
counties, Miss, was one of the most
exciting ever known in the State,
the interest running even higher
than at the Atlanta election. The
cause of prohibition had a sweep
ing triumph.
The Prohibitionists swept Co.
piah county by 1000 majority.
Town OPTIoN.-T1EFIN, O., June
3O.-The Prohibition amendment
passed by the Bloomville Town
Council, under Section II of the
Dow law, has gone into effect, and
the saloons were all closed yester-
day, giving the place an appear
ance of quiet and peace it has not
known for years.
SwEEDEN.-The Swedish gov
eminent has granted subsidy of
5000 crowns for the promotion of
temperance by means of literature
dealing with the effect of the use
Of alcoholic liquors.
Observation-Disclosures W. W.
Smith, president of the Anti
liquor Alliance of Virginia, has

B0-A little girl who held with genu-

She waited for a while for develop

little more energetically:

he presented himself at the hotel sitting
room before the half hour expired. Mrs.
Doane was sitting in the same chair and
almost in the same attitude, and as the
Mayor entered she looked up smilingly
and complimented him on his punct-
uality. After making few inquiries as
to the Sheriff and Bowler, Mrs. Doane
announced that she had about concluded
to make the best of what she was afraid
would be bad job. But she said, tit

never could leave those girls out here
alone-never in the world
The old Cap. pulled down his vest,
and, after passing his cane from one
hand to the other a few times, said:
THAT is what I was about to say, Mrs.
Doane. You see, we need the fair sex
in this town. Your daughters, lovely
girls, will make six, and if you should
stay that will be-that will be seven.
Yes, seven. Now, I was about to say
that since the young folks are to settle
down here so comfortably, what is to
prevent you, being widow, as you OBJ
served some time ago, from settling
here also? Ahem!
Mrs. Doane famed herself vigorous
ly, looked out of the window, and said:
THAT is what I said, SIR
The Mayor mopped his bald head,
and with an expression signifying that
he was about to try it again, he began:
'Yes, | know, and, as was saying,
since the young folks are to have we'd
ding, why shouldn't you and I, neither
of us yet very old, alb figure in one? l
offer myself to you humbly. I am the
Mayor of the town, and own $1,000
worth of property hereabouts. l will
help you to look after the dear creatures.
Mrs. Doane understood him now, ,and,
rising from her chair swept out of the
room with the remark to the effect that
she must have time to think. If he
would call the next day she would give
him an answer. That evening the widow
and her daughters talked the matter over
long and earnestly, and the old Cap,
who was little anxious, stood at the
hotel and notified all callers that the la
dies were indisposed and could not be
seen. To the Sheriff he confded his
secret, with the remark that until this
thing was settled the common herd 'had
got to stand back. The next day the
Mayor received favorable answer, and
last evening the three couples were mar
ried by the Presbyterian minister, Mr..
Norris, the whole town being present.
Although the Sheriff and Bowler are
happy men, they do not show it as much
as the Cap. does. He will wear his long
black coat every day hereafter.

There was an old couple at the Third

been to Niagara Falls and were waiting
for train to their home in the interior
of the State. They just felt that they
had accomplished big thing, and were
consequently quite elated. They had
scarcely taken seats in the waiting-room
before the old man turned to stranger
and said:
We've jist got back frum Niagry Falls.
Powerful sight, them falls are. Hain't

the man.

'Why, it's the biggest lot of water
you ever saw, falling over the awfullest
precipice you ever heard of. Why, it

as he turned to his wife after awhile,

Every word.
Say, when we git home we'll keep
