press liquor selling by legal enactment, and
TO introduce the principle of prohibition into
legislation on the subject. Before he removed
to Maine, while a citizen of Massachusetts.
he prepared petition to the Massachusetts
legislature, praying that the sale of liquor in
any quantity less than thirty gallons be for
hidden by law The proposition was clearly
meant as the first step towards absolute pro-
hibition. He afterwards publicly ayowed
that such was his purpose, and confessed
that he had made mistake in not asking
for complete prohibition, though his idea was
that the forbidding of the sale of liquor in
smaller quantities than thirty gallons would
practically amount to that 1t is curious to
notice how this proposition was received by
the professed friends of temperance of that
time Rev. Mr.. Hildreth, who was agent of
the Massachusetts, temperance societies, felt
it his duty in the interest of temperance to
publicly denounce it as wild measure"
and cautioned all sincere friends of temper
ance not to sign the petition. Gen. Apple
ton defended his position in series of pa
pers in the Salem Gazette in which he de-
nounced the license system and advocated
law prohibiting the sale of ardent spirits
without any qualification. These papers APP
peared in 1882, and from that day to this no.
body has taken more radical ground in favor
OF prohibition or defended the wisdom and
constitutionality of p~ohibitory enactments
with sounder and more cogent reasoning.
BY these facts, which are eonclusively
proved, taken in connection with the fact that
neither records or tradition that can trace the
Afas, To-.
1867, unless it be to the Appleton petition to
the Massachusetts, legislature of 1882, the
claim that James Appleton was the originator
of prohibitory legislation against the liquor
traffic in this country, which the pamphlet
before us sets up,would seem to be thorough
ly established.

The chivalry is getting its back up over
the Presidents alleged snub to Miss Winnie
Davis. A despatch to the Washington Re-
public from Richmond thus describes the
feeling there:
The excitement caused here by the whole affair
is intense. 1t Is the subject of conversation among
all classes. Knots OF mes discuss it the street
corners. IL Is the topic of the dinner table, and at
the clubs the members forget billiards and talk of
nothing but the Hiss Davis incident. Even the
most conservative can lind no excuse for the snub
EVERYBODY says that II President Cleveland or his
VIE did not want 10 be received by JEFF Davs's
Z daughter they should have refused the invitation
at first, since they knew, ii they read the papers,
that Miss Davis was guest of the governor, and
would, ofcourse, be OF the receiving party. They
conclude then, that 1t must have been deliber-
ate snub, so arranged as to intensity t3 painful
ness and call the public's attention to it. No doubt
some KIND OF an explanation Will be issued from
the White House when il is seen how indignant
the people are, but the explanation will come too
late. The anger is spreading all over the South
other Southern States to the governor and Miss
Davis expressing deteStation of the course of the
President and his wife, and containing significant
warnings In regard TO 1888. Had President Ceve-
land taken pains to play into the hands of David
Is. Hill, he could not have selected a better way
than he has. 1t appears that the sClevelandS
luck has disappeared for once, anyhow.
The only adequate atonement which the
President can make is to invite Miss Davis
over to the White House, give her the best
room in the mansion, play croquet with her
ON the lawn, and send Mrs. Cleveland shop
ping with her. Then perhaps the chivalry
will be pacifed.

THE WINNIE DAVIS SENSATION.
Springfield Union.
The Winnie Davis sensation is still BOOM
ing at Washington, and stories and rumors
are multifarious. 1t appears that the matter
was determined by the President at a meet
ing OF the Cabinet. He found that the plan
Of the Richmond folks was to make Miss
Davis the heroine of the occasion, and glori-
fy the Confederacy by having Mrs. Cleve-
land ''play second fiddle" and heput his
foot down hard that the ladies should not go.
The ladies were not told till the last moment
that they were not to go, and are reported as
greatly disappointed. The feeling of the
southerners was well indicated by South
ern woman at the Richmond reception, who,
on shaking hands with the President, ex-
claimed: II am sorry not to meet Mrs.
Cleveland, for next to Miss Davis / was anx-
ious to see the wife of the President" and
the President was obliged to bow ard smile
and say he was sorry, tool

Naturally enough the registration in New
York has been very large. 1t numbers 234,-
s74 which is only 5000 less than in the Presi-
dental election of 1884. and greater than in
any other year. Which of the three candi-
dates is to win in the contest becomes more
and more uncertain as election draws nigh.
The union of Tammany and the County De-
mocracy ON Mr.. Hewitt at one time was sup
posed to practically settle it in his favor
But there are nnmistakable signs that his sup
porters are becoming less confident, and that
the friends Of Mr.. Roosevelt are becoming
correspondingly elated. while Mr.. Georges
adherents are as full of enthusiasm as ever
and do not admit even the possibility of
their favorite's defeat. 1t is altogether the
liveliest canvass that New York has seen for
many day, and the beauty of it is that the
metropolis cannot get bad mayor no mat
ter which one of the three is elected
The Portland daily press., 1886-10-26

The speeches which the condemned Anar-
chists made in the Chicago court room have
been published in book form and are being
distributed throughout the country by labor
unions. Notwithstanding all their fine talk
these men were nothing but brutal murder
ers, and this attempt to dignity them as mar
tyrs will recoil to the injury of the men who
make it. Labor unions cannot afford to en-
gage in that sort of business.

All the conditions appear to be favorable
for wide spread epidemic of pleuro-pneu-
monia, and unless exceedingly vigorous
measures are adopted the country will hardly
escape. Unfortunately the laws are not such
that adequate measures can be adopted imme-
diately, and before the needed legislation is
secured there is reason to fear that the
disease will have obtained a foothold in va
rious parts of the country. The report of
DR.. Salmon on the subject is not pleasant
reading. The seeds of contagion are already
scattered over large tracts of land in the
neighborhood of the largest cattle market in
the country, and efforts to destroy infected
herds are meeting with resistance from un-
scrupulous stockmen and spectators.

The Coffee vile Times reports that
the Buffalo gnats are again making
their appearance, and it will be pru-
dent for those owning stock to take
necessary precautions to defeat the
heavy losses which will result from
their visitation. The best plan. we
believe, is to keep the horses stabbed
as much as possible, as the gnats are
less inclined to enter dark places than
any other. 1t is much better to make
now to meet the emer-
than to be careless, and sus-
tain losses that will probably ruin all
prospects for crop this year. The
most successful remedy that has yet
been applied, is simply tar and grease

The quaint poem, of the title page
of which the above is transcript,
appeared nearly half a century ear
lier than Paradise Lost, and it is in
trinsically probable that it would
have fallen under the eye of Milton 1;
in any case there are striking points
of resemblance between the two
poems, and many have supposed
Milton's immortal work to haye been
inspired by the former. Only two
copies of the work are known to be
in existence previous to the issue of
the present edition, one being in the
British Museum, the other in the
Bodlian Library, Oxford. The copy
in the British Museum was purchas-
ed at noted sale of old books in 1919,
by Baron Bolland, who notes upon a
blank leaf that it cost him 2lG. lis. Cd.
(about $l10,0W. Some years ago a
gentleman of Virginia, Mr.. J. l.. Pey-
ton, sprung from the old English
family Of that name, made an accurate
transcript of the copy in the British
museum, preserving even the quaint
spelling, punctuation, capitalizing,
and italicizing Of the original. This
present edition is printed without al.
teration. Apart from its presumed
connection, with Paradise Lost, the
poem has very considerable merits OF
its own, and is in every way a litera-
ry curiosity. John B. Alden, Pub

The Clarion has, for many years,
made speciality of publishing re-
ports of the decisions of the Supreme
Court. The removal of its Reporter
from the State, and the demands up
on the space of the paper for the very
full reports of Legislative proceed
ings necessitated a temporary sus-
pension in the publication of the
Supreme Court Reports, but they are
resumed this week, having been pre-
pared by w. r. Harper, Esq, who
will hereafter conduct the Law De-
partment of the Clarion. This is a
matter of interest not only to the le-
gal profession, but to many others
who may read such reports with in

six or seven physicians, some of them
specialists in this line, in Whining

to grow worse all the time. l was in
deplorable condition; my nose eaten
off, and hole in my cheek near my

CUT THIS our.

IA few years ago, when diphtheria
was raging in England, gentleman
accompanied the celebrated Df.
Field, on his rounds, to witness the
so-called wonderful cures'' which
he performed, while the patients Of
the others were dropping on all
sides. The remedy, to be 80 rapid,
must be simple. All he took with
him was powder Of sulphur and a
quill, and with these he cured every
patient without exception. He put
a teaspoonfui Of -four Of briinstene
into wine glass of water, and STIR
red it with his finger instead of a
spoon, as sulphur does not readily
amalgamate with water. When the
sulphur was well mixed he gave it as
q gargle, and in ten minutes the pa
tient was out Of danger. Birthstone
kills every species Of fungus in
man, beast or plant ina few minutes.
Instead of splitting out the gargle he
recommends the swallowing of 1t.
In extreme cases, In which he has
been called just in the nick Of time,
when the fungus was too nearly clos
ed to allow the gargling, he blew the
sulphur through quill into the
throat, and after the fungus had
shrunk to allow of it, then the gar
Cling. He never lost patient from
diphtheria. Ifa patient cannot gar.
gle, take live coal, put it on a shov.
el and sprinkle a spoonful Or two of
-four of birthstone at time upon it,
let the sufferer inhale it, holding the
head over it, and the fungus will die.
If plentifully used the whole room
may be filled almost to suffocation,
the patient can walk about in it, in
haling the fumes, with windows and
doors shut. The mode of fumigating
room with sulphur has often cured
the most violent attack of cold in the
chest, head ETC., at any time, and is
recommended in cases of consump-
ton and asthma,n
