The Pennsylvania Republicans
opened the campaign at Pittsburgh,
on Saturday night last, with Gen.
John A. Logan as the principal
speaker. The people were wild with
enthusiasm when old Black Jack ap-
peared, and it was five minutes before
the cheering subsided sufficiently to
permit him to begin his speech. There
was a grand torch-light procession,
and abundant evidence that the Re-
pubicans in that State are thoroughly
awake. Gen. Logan's speech was de-
voted largely to showing up rascality,
and none can do it better. It was fit
ting to have the old war horse open
the campaign, as the Republican can
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania,
Gen. Beaver, is crippled soldier.

One of those odd unaccountable
freaks Of wild fancy which lead to
self-destruction, was that of Mrs. C.
H. Rudolph, Of Baltimore, which oc-
Cured last week. This lady had been
married about month, when she be-
came convinced that she was rapidly
losing her mind-becoming insane.
Writing an affectionate letter to her
husband, whom she fondly loved,
stating that she did not desire to be-
come a burden to him, she put on her
wedding dress, then placed herself in
bed and fired four shots from a revol-
yer into her breast. 1t is easy enough
to understand how the sudden shock
of a great grief or excitement, might
lead one to the commission of a terri
BILE crime like that Of suicide, but how
a young person could calmly deliber-
ate over the matter, and go about the
consummation of the plan so method
ically, is certainly surprising.

The Temperance forces seem to be

The Temperance forces seem to be
gaining strength in this country-not
merely through the Prohibition party,
but through the anti-saloon element
of the Republican party. Could there
be an issue sprung whereon all Tenn
perance people could stand, many pol
iticians would be surprised at the great
strength of the Temperance sentiment
Of the country. Many good Democrats
are thoroughly sickened at the stand
their party has ever taken in favor Of
the doggery interest; while thousands
of Republicans are determined that
the attempts to make the doggery a
domineering power in politics, shall
cease. We have the greatest respect
for every mans political views. A
man may be Democrat, or a Repub-
lican. and still be honest. But the
place to do effective Temperance work
is through the great parties. Our
Prohibition friends love to compare
their party to- the old Anti-Slavery
party. But we may not be accused Of
perverting history when we say that
the Anti-Slavery party never secured
the prohibition of Slavery until the
great Anti-Slavery sentiment Of all
parties united, in a great crisis in our
history, and then the monster was
stricken down, and forever. Suppose
that the Anti-Slavery societies had
gone about denouncing every Anti
Slavery man whose name was not en-
rolled with them, and praisipg the
Pro-Slavery Democracy Of the South.
About how long do you suppose it
would have taken to have abolished
Slavery in this country? No, no,
friends. Good people must stand to-
gether for the accomplishment Of a
great good. By denouncing the party
having the best record of any party
known in human history, and praising
the party possessing the worst history
this. side Of the internal regions, is
what leads many fair-nipded men to
believe that the ''Prohibition pafty' is
a part Of the Democratic party.

It would be a right good time now
for some Democrat to get down on
his launches and howl about the Re-
publicans nominating all the candi-
dates from Lick Township. Every
nominee on the Democratic ticket,
save one, is a Lick Township man.
This is probably because Lick is big
hearted Township, and more willing
to furnish sacrifices than any other
Township.

While the subject of Political Pro-
hibition is being talked Of to some
extent, it is well to cast glance oyer
the whole field, occasionally, and dis
cern as far as possible what promise Of
success even the securing of a Prohib-
itory Amendment to the Constitution
would bring. An illustration upon
this point was brought out in dis
cussion upon the street, one day last
week, between a Republican and a
"Prohibitionist.' The latter was
speaking in glowing terms of the
wonderful work the ''Prohibitionists"
would accomplish, in the way of
stringent laws WELL" said the Re-
publican, ''we had stringent liquor
laws, few years ago, under which
any doggery-keeper might haye been
broken up. Did you ever do anything
toward enforcing the law? Did you
ever file an affidavit against a doggery-
keeper?" ''Oh, nor was the reply, II
never meddled with themw There's
just the whole trouble with the liquor
law matter. If men would do their
duty, and compel officers to do like
wise, there might be some hope Of
putting down the internal doggeries.
But suppose, now, that we had Con-
stitutional Prohibition. The only way
to enforce it would be by legal pen
atty. Then suppose twenty doggeries,
or "drug-stores,' as they call them in
Kansas, should go right on selling
liquor, with no regard whatever for
the law or the Constitutional provision.
Then suppose that Temperance people
should stand back and wait for the
doggery-keepers to file complaint
against themselves. About how much
Of success would such Prohibition be ?
The whole matter must be regarded
as laying with each individual. If
Temperance men would combine in
every community in such force as to
compel officers to do their duty, that
would be ting first successful step
toward Prohibition. This thing of
letting the evil run until we can get
ready to kill it, is bad logic. Cripple
it, disable it-then go right on and
kill it as quickly as possible. But If
each man waits for somebody else to
take the initiative in the enforcement
of the law, the law will never be en-
forced, and under such methods all
the Prohibition Amendments in the
Universe would be fiat failures.

Teeth for Ten Dollars at the office
of DR.. Jones, Dentist.

Gov. Foraker, in his speech at Col
umbus, told horrible tale Of inhuman
treatment Of the bodies Of dead pris-
oners in the Ohio Penitentiary, during
the Hoadly administration, and backed
the statement by an affidavit of the
alleged principal actor in the horrible
work. Frederick W. Nye swears that
he was working in The hospital de-
partment of the Penitentiary, and
that when prisoners would die whose
bodies were unclaimed, the physician
in charge compelled Nye to skin the
greater portions of the bodies and dry
the skins, making "raw-hide," which
was used in making walking-sticks.
This skin was cut in small patches and
perforated, then slipped upon a steel
rod, and the layers beaten down solid
together, after which the cane was
trimmed to suit the fancy. Nye sent
Foraker one Of five that were made
from the skins of an Irishman from
Stark County, named Joseph Mccoy,
and colored man from Scioto County,
named John w. Slater. We sincerely
trust that some proof may be found
to clear the Democracy Of this charge,
as we would hate to think that even
Democratic politician could get to
such low depths of barbarity. We
must say, however, that the Governor
seems just now to have strong case.
Even this case would not be much
more barbarous than the treatment of
Union men early in the war by some
of the Democrats in the South.

Cooper has undertaken to make a
case against Noah J. Dever, before the
bar of public opinion, regarding an
alleged bargain between Dever and
the Portsmouth doggery-keepers, by
the terms Of which Dever was not to
prosecute them, if they would support
him in the canvass. But unfortu-
nately for Cooper, his principal wit
ness (of course) is man in another
County, who died long time ago!
The fact Of the matter is, Mr.. Dever
is as good a man as ever ran for Office
in the District, and man in every
way worthy the earnest support of
every voter in the District. No amount
Of Democratic lying will affect the
determination of the Republicans of
the District to give Mr.. Dever rous=
ing majority.

It is not probable that Mr.. Hubbard

It is not probable that Mr.. Hubbard,
of the Prohibition Committee, will
attempt any more smartness with Mr..
Cappeller, Of the Republican Commit
tee. Hubbard ''discovered' that he
had an appointment for DIR. Leonard
in Columbus, on the same night on
which Gov. Foraker was to speak, and
suggested a joint discussion. As Gov.
Foraker is Republican, and fighting
the Democratic party, there could not
be any political discussion, save with
a Democrat. Mr.. Cappeller therefore
replied that Gov. Foraker was to devote
his speech to the wickedness and mis-
management Of the last Democratic
administration in this State, and if
DIR. Leonard desired to come out in
defense of this array of wickedness,
perhaps discussion might be arranged.
That settled that proposition.

The Sioux Indians who have been
travelling with Buffalo Bill, started
for their western home last week. In
a medicine-dance in New York, just
before starting, an eagle feather was
placed in the center of the circle, and
no one allowed to touch it save such
as could prove by some one present
that they had slain men in battle. A
chief named Lone Wolf was observed
to touch the feather sixteen times. If
the Wolf can only prove that those
sixteen were redskins, it would not be
unfair for the Government to present
him with pony and hogshead of
whisky, for his old age. Tt would be
a good way to reward the Wolf and
get revenge, at the same time.

prominent business man

A prominent business man of
Charleston, South Carolina, declares
that collections haye been easier dur
ing the last month than at any time
for years, and argues from this that
even earthquakes have their uses.
Many man permitted his little bills
to go unsettled, and business to be
permitted to drag accordingly, until
the rousing influence Of the earthquake
suggested that the time for the final
settlement might be very near. Then
there was hustling around, paying
up, and preparing for the worst. The
business men of Charleston are willing
to let the old place shake little more,
on account Of the good it does.

MIR. Williams As A Kettle!
JACKSON. o.. Sept. 81. 1886.

oAChoON. w., Oepb. ~, 1OOo'
To the Editor of the Standard:
As the editor of Republican pa
per, we as Prohibitionists expect to
meet with opposition from you, but
we have a right to fair treatment.
The insinuation contained in your
editorial, in the issue of Sept. %, is
calculated to mislead. The idea con-
veyed is that Prohibitionists are a
mercenary set. It may be some con-
ISOLATION to the kettle to know that
the pot is black too. A few years
ago the citizens of certain town be-
came greatly interested in the temper
ance cause, and thought that if they
could engage the services of that great
apostle of temperance, moral suasion,
&c., Francis Murphy, he would great
IL aid them in their work.
With that end in view, a friend Of
mine was instructed to correspond
with him regarding terms, &C.; in a
few days came the reply:
FTerms one hundred and fifty DOL
lars a night. Yours in Christ,
''FRANCIs MURPHY"
Which is the blacklist $3.50
F. NJ. non partisan Republican Moral
suasionist, or the $50 unknown Pro-
hibitionist.
This is no insinuation, but plain
statement of facts. Some more inter
esting facts may be given through
your columns if necessary. But it
may occur to you, Mr.. Editor, that it
is barely possible that there are some
things that had better not be "stirred
up" Yours, &c.,
HUGH B. WILLIAMS.

There seems to be united and de-
termined effort on the part Of the
Democrats this year to capture the
Labor organizations. John Mcbride
Is using his position as President of
the Miners Union as means of cleo
tioneering for himself as candidate for
Secretary Of State The trick at a re-
cent picnic in Hooking County was
only specimen Of his methods. At a
large gathering Of workingmen, under
the auspices of the Knights of Labor,
a resolution was read, recommending
John Mcbride as splendid fellow,
worthy of the trust Of the people of
Ohio. This will be peddled By Dem
ocratie politicians as an indication
that the Labor interest is solid for
Mcbride. The same tactics will be
used in electioneering for candidates
for smaller offices. True, these organ
izations are non-political in character,
and contain men Of all shades of
political faith. There is no danger
that the intelligent workingmen will
take kindly to this miserable attemp t
to deliver them to the Democratic
party. No organization known in the
history of this country has done so
much to degrade and oppress Labor as
has the Democratic party, and the
papers Of that party-even in this
manufacturing region-are howling
for Free Trade. This party has been
sat down upon several times very en-
phatically by the workingmen, and
now seeks another method of capturing
them-that Of nominating an officer
of their organization, and requiring
him to deliver them, bodily, like so
many purchased cattle, to the Demo-
cratic party. This is not mere con-
lecture, but is patent to every intelli-
gent man who will give the matter
moments reflection. Without the
hope of gagging, binding and deliver
ing over the Labor organizations. John
Mcbride would have stood no more
show for nomination than the imam
in the moon' It is time the work
ingmen crushed out, at once and
effectually, the idea that they can be
manipulated by schemers, for their
own selfish purposes. Unless we
greatly overestimate the intelligence
and honesty of the workingmen, John
Mcbride will be taught lesson in
November that he will never forget.

Stones for the Farm.

Stones of small size are well-known to
have economical uses to the soil. Hence
it is only when they are too large to be
turned by the plow that they are really
an impcd .ment to the soil. Upon this
subject the NcW England Farmer says;
Stores have their uses, and reasonable
quantity of them is q decided advantage
to the sol. They gradually disinteryrate,
and wear down and form top dressing
of fresh soil which contains valuable ele-
ments of fertility. Excepting pure quartz,
which is silica a'one, every rock conta:n ms
more or less of lime, potash, magncsia,
alumina, soda, phosphoric acid, sulphuric
acid, and iron, and all these are plant
food. that is essential to the growth of
crops. TO pick up small stones that will
easily pass throug gh the harrow and will
not interfere with the seed drill or cult
vator Is waste of labor and injury to
the soil. And if farmer seeking farm
is wise he would rather choose soil that
inclines to gravelly loan with an abun-
dance of stones than one that is quite
free from it. For stones preserve moist
ure, absorb heat, and contribute con-
siderably to the lasting fertility of the
land.
