EDITOR TELEGRAPH.
DEAR SIR:-I saw in your issue OF
Jan. Goth an article by some CORES
pondent, stating that Rev. J. H. Bow
ker sent notice of a Prohibition
meeting to be held at Wesly Chapel
without consulting any one. The facts
are: Mr.. Bowker did not arrange for
this meeting. It was arranged for by
j. w. Thomas. of Waterford, chair.
man of the Racine County Committee
and the posters advertising said meet.
ing were forwarded there some ten Oh
twelve days previous to the night OF
the meeting by DR.. Stevens, of Bristol
If the people there were very deeply in
sympathy with Prohibition work ]
think they might have had the meeting
advertised in that time. Posters fol-
another meeting were sent out the
same time, and the same storm visited
us, but we managed without any great
exertion to have meeting two nights
previous. G.

Quencesp Can the employer who pays
his skilled workman $3.50 per day
manufacture goods and wares for the
same price as the employer who pays
only Is cents per day. To say the peo-
pie of this country would have cheaper
goods and wares by the removal of
tariff duties would be poor equivalent
for the reduction of the wages of that
large per cent of our population whose
chief if not only support comes from
the wages they receive. The cost of
living in Great Britain and most other
countries Of Northern Europe, as
shown by the published tables, does
not differ very materially from this
country, and a man with family who
receives but fifty cents day has to pay
about the same expense as the man
with q like family in this country who
receives for services dollar a day.
By what method do our free trade
friends propose to keep up the wages
paid to the working and mechanical
classes; or are they satisfied to let
wages Of all kinds drop down to the

The Bristol Prohibition Club will
meet at the house of r. F. Roberts on
Thursday evening, Feb. 9th. Come
and have social chat.
Mrs. Parker left for Racine last
Tuesday, to attend a sick son.
DR.. J. B. Devlin came out to see his
mother on Tuesday.
r. F. Roberts took a trip to Chicago
last Monday.
A car with ice on board broke down
on Monday. After vain attempt to
back up the hill to Bristol, it was
shunted at Woodwork for repairs.
On Sunday Elder Thayer preached a
funeral discourse on the death Of Mrs.
Kellogg. Asbury was filled to over
flowing. The sermon was a very good
one, and the delivery the best 1 have
ever listened to. The text, He being
dead yet speaketh," was made the basis
of some excellent advice to the living,
pressed home by facts from history
ancient and modern, and we may hope
that the young especially will take it
to heart.
Our Ike says that Mr.. Richmond
acted very unwise at the convention.
Why, never was head at Donnybrook
fair knocked to smithereens so CON-
pletely as he smashed the head of the
Democratic party. Now, as the Demo-
Gratis pay the Prohibition lecturers,
Mr.. r. ought not to pound them so
hard, or they will stop paying them.
That convention was grand sue
cess. At night the church was crowd
ed, and Mr.. Richmond gave an address
that was Just one series of logical ar
guments, each one clinched by unde.
niable facts. A nearer said that no
intelligent person could listen to it
and not be converted, but he is mis-
taken. Intelligent men listen to grand
truths and are not convinced, or let
their prejudice overcome their cOnvic-
tions. But converts were made and
more will be as they find there is no
escape from the truth. We have two
evils to choose: The Republicans
losing their grip on the offices and
100000 beings destroyed by drink, and
some of our voters will choose the less
evil of the which is the destruc-
ton Of persons by drink. 1t will not
do to let 60 the Offices.
Death is thinning us out. On Friday
a large number of neighbors and
friends attended the funeral Of Mrs. j.
M. Kellogg. On Saturday Mrs. LADIES
Jorges was buried in the graveyard
near TarbelIs, and several Of us are
waiting the last summons.
Elder Miller, on Sunday, had a small
audience and short service on ac-
count of the funeral sermon at As
bury. He gave Us the promise of
Jesus, Ask and ye shall receive" It
was a good sermon, and the delivery
the best he has given US. But he also
told us that we must pray for what we
most deserved, and just now Prohibit
ton was the most important thing. 1t
meant less drunkards and more con-
versions.

Our neighbor city Racine is resolved

the surplus revenue. Tue Business

preparation of $40, 900 to improve the

$4,000 for public building. Perhaps
our City Council or Business Mems

ton for public purposes in this city
1t is quite certain nothing will be re-
ceived without the asking.

EDITOR TELEGRAPH.
The article in last weeks TELE.
GRAPH, signed .Somers," is apt to
create 3 wrong impression outside this
town. The writer endeayors to create
the impression that the Rev. gentle.
man, who recently delivered to our
people such an excellent and interest.
ing prohibition lecture. was not worthy
the name he processes to move under
That isa misstatement of facts.
As for the Rev. Mr.. Bowker's con.
duct while among our people, and The
character of the language used during
his lecture, no one can truthfully
speak in derogatory terms. The grow.
ing prohibition sentiment here is prob
ably looked upon with disfavor by
many who cannot espouss its doc
trines. Nevertheless, a truthful cause
will not be lowered by assailing the
advocates.

WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The State Supreme Court has over
ruled the decision Of Judge Winslow
of the Circuit Court of this district,
which declared the right lof women to
vote for municipal and other officers.
The decision of the Supreme Court
does not declare the law imperative so
far rs it relates to woman suffrage for
school officers, but holds that it does
not include municipal and state off,
GERS. The decision of the Court may
be noticed more fully another week.
To refresh the memory of those who
may have forgotten, an act for sub
hitting to the people the right of
women to vote OH school matters was
passed by the legislature April, 1885.
In accordance with this law, the ques-
ton of school suffrage for women was
voted upon by counties throughout
the state at the general election Nov.
2. 1886. The ballots voted read, +" For
woman suffrage in school matters
and Against woman suffrage in school
matters" The entire vote cast in the
state was as follows:

We acknowledge the receipt of late
Florida papers from our friend, F. w.
Lyman, who is spending the winter in
that land of flowers. The Florida
papers say the tide of immigration to
that state has recently been much on
the increase, and that the movement
to the Pacific states, which was so
large a short time ago, has been in a
measure diverted to Florida.

The report also says that the Hors-
ford's contains the nutritious phosphates,
while all the cream tartar powders con-
tain tartrate of potassium and sodium,
and the alum powders contain hydrate
of alumina, sodium sulphate, and
ammonium sulphate.
The idea of introducing the phos-
pilates into the food by means of bak-
ing powder was conceived by Prof.
Horsford, formerly Professor of Chem
istry in Harvard University, several
years ago, and if report be true, he has
not only been remarkably successful in
making such product, but also in sell.
ing it. 1t is we'll known that the phos-
pilates constitute practically the only
nutritious portion Of the wheat grain,
actual experience having shown that
wheat which had been deprived of its
phosphates would not sustain life. It is
also well known that in the process Of
boiling our fine wheat -four nearly all OF
the phosphates are lost in the bran, and
that, therefore, fine wheat -four alone
will not sustain life. Prof. Horsford's
idea was to restore these lost phosphates
in the form of a baking powder. The
above report shows that he has not only
done this, but has also produced a
powder that is the strongest in the
market.

A Day Of Surprises.
UNEXPECTED DEVELOPMENTS AT
THE JoBBERs, II INVESTIGATION.
FREIGHT DISCRIMINATION.
Rock Island win Be Able to Make
Its Usual 7 Per Cent. Dividend in
Spite of she New Iowa Rate
Schedule.

DAVENPORT, Ia, Sept. 20.-This was a
day of surprises in the investigation of
the jobberaS complaints. The Rock
Island company surprised everybody by
introducing four large books of tables of
figures, compiled by eighty accountants,
and then putting it's auditor, Crosby, on
the stand to verify the figures. Crosby
surprised everybody by testifying that
these figures applied to Iowa local bust
ness, and that the commissioners tariff
would only affect IL per cent. of the en-
tire business, and would only reduce
their revenue sos, 900 out of S13, OOO, 900
earnings; and the road would still pay
its interest, operating expenses and fixed
charges, and make it's usual per cent.
dividend in spite of the commissioners
schedule.
One other surprise was the introduc-
ton at the close of the testimony of two
freight bills of the most discriminating
character in freight from Chicago to
Newton and Davenport to the same
point, to August Wendt. The goods
were of the same class, and the Chicago
rate was rs cents per 100 and the Daven-
port rate 43 cents on the same class of
goods. The case is voluminous, and the
commissioners will probably take time
to decide it.

A Fallaey Neatly Exposed.

Free trade would not open foreign
markets to us. That is a fallacy, Matched
in the colleges and circulated by free
trade fanatics. Foreign countries would
not buy any more of us under free trade
than they do now. We have free trade
with, Brazil in coffee, yet last year we i'm
ported $50, 600, 900 worth of coffee, free of
duty, and Brazil only took about IS, OOO,-
600 worth. of goods from us. We i'm
ported $40, 100000 worth Of tea, free of
duty, yet China only took about S,O00,-
900 worth Of goods from us. If
we had free trade with Great Bril-
tain she would food this country
with her manufactures and not take q
dollars worth more Of our breadstuffs
than she does now. She only takes any
OF CUR produce because she has to and she
would not take any more under free trade
than she does under protection. Great
Britain engages in to mako
money for herself, not for other people.
The foreign market rot is one of the worst
fallacies in the whole business. What
we want to do is to take care of the home
market and let foreign markets take care
