THE LAST DITCH.
The Liquor Dealers Organizing for Theif
Last Struggle.

The Liquor Dealers Organizing for Their
Last Struggle.
The liquor interest of Massachusetts,
is organizing for its last ditch. Tho
Massachusetts, Liquor Dealers Associa-
ton was organized last week, with
capital stock of $500 its member
ship being made of brewers, dIstillers.
bar-tenders and every body connected
with the business. Dealers are to pay
facturers fifty dollars, and the smallest
employer of a gin mill or beer shop
pays ten cents month. They propose
to organize the entire country in this
way, and to protect liquor dealers.
licensed or unlicensed, legal or Illegal.
in every way possible. The plans Of
the organization are thus stated by one
of the leaders in the movement:
1--WE make no party Jines; we look only to
men who will give us protection, and save us
from the maliciousness Of spoilers, black
mailers and crazy Temperance men, who
drink at home and keep their cellars stocked;
preachers of Temperance Our aim and OBJ
3ect arc to make the liquor business such as IL
the G. liquor men n are At the head aud front Of
society, having the full CONFIDENCE OF their
fellow men, and the respect or all classes OF
the community"
Nothing pleases us better than this
movement. II is a confession that the
efforts of the Temperance men have
had some effect upon the villainous
traffic, and that the enemies of man
kind are in doubt as to their future.
But the great good it will do will he to
arouse the real friends of law and
order, and force them into organiza-
ton and direct, persistent work. There
is no question as to the ability of the
liquor interest to organize and to raise
money easily. All the central body
has to do is to levy an assessment, and
it will be paid without question. The
liquor dealers can raise any amount OF
money, and with money they can pur-
chase votes The interest is tremen-
dous power, and it is well that it has
got into shape to show just how much
Of power it is.
1t will fail, however, TO perpetuate
itself. The people are stronger than
any one business. Those interested in
liquor can by use of money and poll
(, tical manipulation control localities,
but there is not State in the Union
which can not be carried against It by
overwhelming maiorities
We most earnestly hope that the Ohio
branch of this Unholy Alliance will be
organized at Once.-I0ledO B.dde.

WEST VIRGINIA COKE.
What n Prominent Manufacturers Says Oh
the Effect OF the Strike.

What Prominent Manufacturers says OF
the Effect OF the Strike.
Mr.. Neil Robinson, of Coalburg, W. Va,
is thus quoted by Pittsburg reporter, in
reply to q question about the effect OF the
strike of the Pennsylvania coke workers;
ut is working tavorably for the coke
manufacturers down there, but the iron
men are beginning to feel the strike very
perceptibly. Some OF the furnaces are
really suffering, understand. for want OF
coke. The bulk OF West Virginia coke ia
manufactured on the New river, but there
are only about geo ovens, and owing to the
strength OF the Conr ellsville company have
never been able to get much OF q hold upon
the trade. The scarcity, Of course, he's q
very good effect on their trade"
Another gentleman from West Virginia,
also interested in coal and iron said: Iron
manufacturers are in close quarters Tor
want Of coke. The ovens on New river
are running at full blast, but they cannot
begin to supply them. One company that
know Of, has been offered, by an iron compa
nv in Wheeling, the iron castings and hre
bricks for coke plant if they will erect 1t
at once, giving them the privilege OF pay
ing tor it in coke after the plant Ii
erected u
will this strike have the effect of build
ing up the coke trade of West virginia.
IF it continues it must build it up con
siderably. The coke manufactured there
is OF an excellent quslity, and if it coulc
once get hold on the trade, its msnutac
ture would grow to be a great industry
The proportions to which the Councils
vile coke syndicate has grown, and tn.
hold it has on the trade, and on the rail
roads in the matter Of special rates, ha
shut all other companies out from anything
beyond local trade.
