Morbid New dorsey Sightseers.

EATONTOwN. n. j., March 7.-CrOwds
of people drove into town to-day to see the
little brick Jail where Sam johnson was
lynched early yesterday morning for out
raging Miss Herbert. The sightseers over
ran the woods where the young woman was
assaulted, and tramped about her home and
the little cabin where Johnson lived. There
is no clue to the men who beat johnson
nearly to death and then hanged him. 1t ID
reported that the authorities have employed
detectives to find out who the lynchers were.

THE KENTUCKY DILEMMA.
Rough Usage of COnvicts Expected
at Greenwood.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 5.-The five
companies of state militia sent by Gov.
Knott to protect the convicts and state
property at the Greenwood mines, near the
Cincinnati Southern road in Pulaski county,
Kentucky, arrived there early this morning
and took the 200 free miners and citizens en-
tirely by surprise. The free miners had
ordered the lessees to remove the convicts
and were waiting for the expiration of the
two days of grace granted before they re-
sorted to the threatened violence. The
mob is orderly and not disposed to resort to
violence, but they insist on the removal
of the cOnvicts. They say that,
of course, they can do nothing
and will do nothing as long
as the troops remain, but say the convicts
must and shall go just as soon as the
soldiers are ordered away. They say they
blame no one but the legislature, and insist
that it is the duty of the body to repeal the
law which allows convicts to be leased and
worked 10 the detriment of free labor.
The soldiers are in charge, and no trouble
is anticipated while they remain, but it is
the opinion that when they go the citizens
will force the convictS to go. The question
is then, will the state keep the militia on
guard continually or will the convicts be
removed? Convicts are worked in several
other mines in the state, and the same
trouble is likely to spring up any day.

CHICAGO, March 7.-Sam Small preached
at the Chicago Avenue Methodist church
this evening from the following text: ''And
the Lord said unto Moses, Go, get thee down,
for thy people which thou broughtest out of
Egypt have corrupted themselves" He
said: This command was gwen to Moses
while he was yet in the mountains after
having been given the ten commandments.
While the children of Israel were wandering
through the wilderness, they wanted water.
They got it, they thought, alone through
Moses power with God. God then saw
that the people were too fond of Moses and
too regardless of him, and he called Moses
up into the mountain to give him the
laws written upon stone. Moses went away,
and the people of Israel were very much
like the people of the present day, in that
when the man in authority over them was
absent they lost respect for him and began
to speak contemptuously of him. Aaron, a
shrewd politician, saw that the people
wanted something to worship, and when
they said they wanted to get away from the
commandments of God, he told them to
bring their gold earnings and iewelry, and
he made them

A GOLDEN CALF.

They began TO worship this calf. 1t could
not make them any distaSteful laws; so
they passed their own resolutions to live by,
and then worshiped the golden calf. 1t is
very much the same to-day. There are
people who worship the buzZard upon the
American dollar. and the spread-eagle
upon $50 gold pieces. which are wOrshiped
Just as devOutly as the people of Israel
worshiped the golden calf, aye. even more.
They would make greater sacrifices
for their idols to-day. God sent Moses back
and he took their idol and burned it up and
scattered the ashes over the waters, and the
waters he made his people drink. What
bitterness. When Moses saw what his peo-
pie had done with their gold he commanded
them TO cease wearing earrings and jew
elry. and they did cease wearing them. and
there are some piOus people now who
haven't got any that don't wear any now.
Laughter. They seem to think that be-
cause Moses told his people that they must
not wear any jewelry that it is sin for a
preacher to wear a watch chain or any
member TO wear jewelry of any kind. Paul

WHAT THE BUSINESS MEN SAY.
Among those who strenuously
opposed Prohibition from business
interests, was Mr.. Harrison, the
dry goods merchant. When the
Commissioner voted no-license, we
were told that Mr.. Harrison earn
estly implored Commissioner Carr
to reverse his vote and save the
business interests of the city, that
would surely be ruined by Prohibi-
ton.
A few days ago this same Mr..
Harrison sought Mr.. Carr, and,
grasping his hand, said, even more
earnestly than before, CHOW, let nae
congratulate you and our city, on
the bold stand you took. | have
been utterly and most happily sur
prised with the result of Prohibi-
ton. Business is better and the
city benefited in every way. ]

PERSONAL INTERVIEWS.
1t occurred to US that FREEMAN
readers would enjoy some direct
testimony in this behalf, and here
it is, gathered in response to direct
questions, as the citizens named
were met:
RESULT MOST GRATIFYING.
R. Workman, Merchant-"The
result of Prohibition is most graft
flying. Not one-twentieth as much
LIQUOR drank as before. Business
better and pleasanter in every
way
HIS BUSINESS RUINED.
w. A. McCorkle, Lawyer and
City Solicitor-"The change is re-
markable. Affects my business
very materially. Formerly, my
fees before the Police Court aver
aged from $40 to $50 month,
sometimes reaching $40. My in
come from this source has dwindled
to 81, the last month"
GRAND THINGS FOR woRKINGMEN.
M. J. OBrien, machinist, Master
Workman, Knights of Labor-"It
is doing grand things for the
workingmen OF the valley. The
general effect on the business Of the
community is most elegant"
THE CITY GREATLY BENEFITED.
R. T. Oney, banker-"The sa-
looms generally are closed in good
faith, and liquor men have mostly
accepted the new condition of
things and are adjusting their
affairs accordingly.
Regarding the situation from
simply a business standpoint the
city has been greatly benefited.
AS to social and moral results the
good is incalculable."
DRUNKENNESS ALMOST CEASED.
E. M. Handley, merchant
"Trade generally has improved
and collections are easier. A great
good to the city and community.
Drunkenness has almost entirely
ceased, The change in favor Of
peace and good order is wonderful"
KNOWS IT BY THEIR NOSES.
Rev. T, c. Johnson, pastor Bap-
fist Church-"Any one walking
our streets would know we had
Prohibition, by the changed color
OF the peoples noses, who formerly
frequented the saloons. The results
are most gratifying, viewed from
any and every standpoint of right,
humanity and business interests"

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo, July 90
Great excitement prevails in this
State over the Prohibition ques-
ton. There is scarcely a school
district in which the Prohibition
lists are not hard at work, and so
far they have swept nearly every
thing. Official reports show that
in number of the counties north
OF the Missouri River dram shops
have been driven out and licenses
refused. Rev. Sam Jones, Elk
Governor St. John, DR.. J. A.
Brooks and a large number of
Prohibition orators are holding

State. They have secured pledges
from three-fourths of the nominees.
