Springfield GLoBE-REPUBHC says
the Dow law is not simply a republican

will be in the face of both democratic and
prohibition opposition. The law, says our
contemporary has already accomplished q
great deal of good in closing saloons in
more than a hundred towns, and in putting
hundreds of thousands OF dollars into couu-
ty and city treasures This is true, and
oddly enough this seems to be the very rea-
son why ii is so bitterly opposed.
Exactly Some real substantial progress

and the republcaRs-nOt the prohibtionsts

localities where the local sentiment is hos

making heroic efforts TO enforce the law.
Ii was for attempting to do this that the

NO MORE COOKING AT HOME.
Shops which supply Families With All
Kinds of Food Ready for the Table.

Kinds of Food Ready for the Table.
Over on the east side, where the Ger
man element predominateS, there is an
increasing Number of shops which arc
novel in their way and are largely patron
lied in the warm months, and even in
cool weather do fair trade. They fur
nish all the food eaten in many families,
and do away with the heat and trouble
of private cooking. The shops are large
and Cleanly They are owned usually by
Germans, who i'll many cases keep their
wives and their children old enough to
walk busy AS clerks. Most of the fronts
are painted bright red, and the more
red is shown on the inside the better ap-
parently the place is liked. Big sales
and small profits is the motto in favor,
and those who have tried it, say they
can live more chcaply by using these
places as n base of supplies than in any
other way. and also live well.
In the stores are shelves on every side
and the counters are so close, that i'll the
busy time of the day locOmOtion is nearly
impossible The hours when there is a
rush are between 9 and ! in the morning,
an hour before noon and between D and
at night. Women and children are
the principal buyers and they go from
one part of the store to another, selecting
what they want. Almost everything
good TO eat is there. On the shelves are
all the canned goods consisting of fruits,
vegetables, meats, and fish, and also bot
ties Of pickles and chopped meats.
All the cooked stuff is on the counters.
On huge white platters are whole boiled
hams, large pieces of boiled cOrned beef,
roast beef, legs of mutton, roasted chick
ems, beef and lamb tongues, meat balls,
Hamburger steaks, fried pork and NUT
ton chops, veal outlets and several varie-
ties of fish Boxes uf fried potatoes are
in different parts of the store. Every
thing is cold and cooked well done. "
The prices are all reasonable. All the
canned and bottled goods are sold for low
prices. A good meal for an average sized
family can be obtained for less than it
could be bought and cooked in the house
The food looks and tastes good. Bought
in large quantities by the shOpkeeper, it
can be sold more cheaply and give a
small profit than the ordinary person
could buy it for uncoOked in a store.
Working people go to these places on
their way to work and have a lunch put
up in the morning, and factory hands at
the noon hour can get good lunch for 10
cents. The temperature of n tenement
house in summer is greatly increased by
the many fires in ii, but where the fami-
lies live on the food bought ready cooked,
the houses are kept at a heat where life
is not all misery. No large fortunes are
being made in this business, but there is
enough in it TO induce the practical and
economical German to go into il and new
stores are being opened frequently. They
all pay.-New York Tribune.

Prohibition In Kentucky.
What the Louisville Correspondent Of
Liquor Organ Thinks Of 1t.
Francis Murphy Endorsed.

Louisville Letter to Southwest.
There are in Kentucky twenty
counties and 252 districts in other
counties trying the Prohibition
mode of doing away with the
liquor traffic. Twenty-seven other
counties will vote upon 1t this
year, under special acts passed by
the last Legislature. There are
three counties in which liquor is
not allowed to be sold on election
days. The aggregate number OF
counties in which local option
prevails or is likely to prevail is
forty-six. The voting population
covered by the law is estimated at
34,S4S, or nearly fve-eighths Of
the votes cast in the last guber-
material race. Prohibition has
gained a pretty strong footing in
the State during the last FIVE years.
In the recent election, Millersburg,
Bourbon county, carried local
option by a majority of 200. This
lea YES only one precinct in the
county-Paris-in which local op-
ton doesn't prevail, with strong
chances of the county-seat being
gobbled by the next vote taken.
If the saloon keepers-not only in
Paris, but in all other parts of the
State-wish to save themselves
they had better at once begin
organizing for the fray. An ounce
of prevention, you know, is worth
pound of cure. The enemy is
fast infringing upon their personal
rights and liberty while they
seemingly, are sleeping on their
arms and unheeding his rapid
approach. The army of fanatical
cranks now infesting this grand
old Commonwealth are not natives
of the State, on which they are
infringing, and should be given to
understand that their interference
is not desired in any way, shape or
form. The views on the Temper
ance question taken by Francis
Murphis, (who, by the way, has
accomplished more for the cause
than any other living man, that
"every man should form a society
of his own" are both reasonable
and Just. But when an army of
long-taced, sanctimonious-lo looking
fanatical cr&nks invade Kentucky
and say to men who are conducting
a license business owe command
you to close up and sacrifice all
you have!" then it is that patience
ceases to be virtue and the
saloon-keeper justly gets riled."

DEAR FREEMAN:
You must have brief account OF
our Kanawha county meetings and
doings. have attended and adj
dressed six meetings, according to
promise. Owing to change OF date
and a misunderstanding, failed to
attend ths meeting at Clendennln
but Thomas Swinburn was there
on August 7th, and addressed a
goodly mum Der Of citizens. My first
meeting was at Winifrede, Aug
ust 4th. l had a very attentive
audience of about 40 voters, and a
mum Der of ladies. Quite a number
made voluntary contributions to
help circulate the FREEMAN.
The next evening | had small
audience at Brownstown. An IN
teresting revival meeting in the
neighborhood, kept number
away. But those present were at
tentive and indicated their sympa-
thy with Prohibition in its strong
est form. On Friday night, at st.
Adams, there was good attend
ance, and evidently much straig hit.
out Prohibition sentiment. A good
Prohibition club might have been
organized there, but it was deemed
best not to press matters.
On Saturday afternoon, Brother
Handley and myself set out for
Alum Creek, but by taking the
wrong and toughest road, reached
the appointed place two hours
late. However, we found thirty
or forty people, mostly voters, still
waiting, and had their undivided
attention for nearly an hour. We
hope the trip was not in vain. Last
Saturday Brother Swinburn and
myself attended meeting at
Pinch, in the afternoon, and on
Cooper's Creek at night. Our au.
diences were not large, but much
interest was shown in the princi-
Piles and growth of the new par
ty. There are many hating be-
tween two opinions, and will soon
join the straight out Prohibition
ranks. l have not attempted to do
much in any of these meetings but
talk to the people; and to insist
upon two main facts:
First, the duty Of the Church, the
ministry and the religious press to
follow this question into poll
tics.
Second, the necessity of partisan
Prohibition in order to speedy and
complete success.
Next Saturday l 60 to Hinton to
address the County Convention
there. I am now charged with 60
ing into politics, and am perfectly
willing to plead guilty.
Heretofore the Church, preach
ers and all, to large extent, have
been stupldly and wickedly, fol-
lowing along in the train of Saloon
politics. Is it not the more sensi-
BILE and more righteous plan for the
Church 20 take the lead and make
politics a wholesome stream, in
stead of filthy pool ?"
The whisky men of Charleston
are getting quite bold in the last
two or three weeks, and are evil
IDENTIFY making an effort to show
that Prohibition don't prohibit.
But they will probably discover
in due time, that the way of the
transgressor is hard In the mean
time the old party press and pri-
maries, are agitating the grave
questions of party success, and who
shall get the offices, with never a
word as to the good of the country,
and the overthrow of its greatest
curse 1t is hard to tell now Just
how matters will stand after the
election is over; but we can rest
In the calm assurance that it will
contribute to the furtherance of the
gospel of Prohibition.
