State Board of Trade,

L. NJ. Bonham, of Columbus Ohio, has
written to General Manager J. Q Brown, OF
the California State Board of Trade, stating
that r. NJ. Rounds, who will represent the
G. A. r. contingent from California, has
had an interview with Governor J. B. For
aker, in which the latter expressed desire
that the exhibits which will be sent for
word from this State to represent us at the
Ohio Centennial may be transferred at the
close to the Centennial Grounds TO remain
on exhibition with the agricultural and
horticultural exhibits of the Ohio Centen-
NAL Fair. The buildings for the two ex-
hibits are $50 by 800 feet, and will be filed
with exhibits from Ohio, Iowa, Kansas and
California.
Manager Brown replied that it was the
intention of California to send forward the
finest exhibit that had ever been sent out OF
the State, and that General Goodman
would call on Governor Foraker on his re-
turn from the East, where he is at present,
and would make the necessary arrange
ments
The State Board will held its next mass
meeting next SATURDAY. evening at MERGED,

throughout the whole country, and many
thousands who know it only By description
will obtain their first taste of it. Hitherto
the sales have been chiefly confined 10 the
large centers of population, but now large
shipments are going forward to New York
which is the great distributing point of the

THE Methodist Church, by its chief
legislative body, has declared any regula-
ton of the liquor traffic to be "un-Chris-
tian." This is not so we'll as there was
reason to expect from that body Its
declaration is little short of an edict, quite
as Objectionable in some aspects as those
ecclesiastical bulls that have in the past
dictated TO civil governments the course
they should take The Church knows
very well that there are times and local.
ties where regulation is not only neces-
sary--agreed to by all sides of the tenn
perance question and by the anti-temper-
ance people as well-but where the hobby
of prohibition could not possibly find foot
hold. When, therefore, the Church de-
clares, as it practically does, that all
men who differ with it as to domestic
policies in government are un-Christian-
accepting that word in its broad and gem
eral sense-it not only does injustice, but
more, it confesses its incompetency to take
hold of broad public economic problem,
and its incapacity to deal with facts as
they are found. We do not believe, how
ever, that its membership will feel that
the resolution was direction to them
how to vote-it was coupled with a
disavowal Of any political intent-or
that tbau will
economic questions involved in regulation,
since nearly every State and every city in
the Union now has, in one form or another,
some system of regulation. We are speak
ing for none-neither high nor low license,
non-license or prohibition, hours of saloon
closing, limitation of places of retail or
any other method whatever-but of the
simple and distinctly-stated question of
the wisdom of a church edict that con-
dennis those who disagree with it upon
subject into which 10 question of faith en-
tiers. The Church's attitude upon the
temperance question was well understood:
there was no need to do more than to af-
firm 1t, and as often as the Church legis-
lature chose, but it was downright I'M
Christian to denounce Christian men who
believe in regulation, as un-Christian,"
and that is precisely what the edict
amounts to. The preaching that teaches
that it is ill to do good, unless all that is
desired can be accomplished, is simply
non-progressive and irrational.

Beneath the cover of humor there is in
this advice much of seriousness, and
good deal of practical wisdom upon which
political committees may ponder with
profit. One of the most experienced and
expert of political stump speakers not
long since was heard to declare that he
did not mind" the speaking and the
travelling about; but he did fear the men

the local committees. If they would but
"let him alone" leave him to his own de-
vices, provide the necessary stand or hall
for speaking, and keep hands off before
and after, his experience as campaigner
would be one of comparative comfort.
This expression comedies with the extracts
made from the Alias dry humor advice.
Every speaker and lecturer knows that if
committees want the best of him, having
a right to expect it, and that he shall
have good opinion of them, they are
most likely to attain both ends by dispos-
ing of their guest in a hotel, abandoning
him until the hour arrives for the enter
tainment, and parting from him thereafter
with the least ceremonial and hospitality
consistent with good manners and the
evident desire of the guest.

THE BOWERS CASE.

murder of his wife, by poison, illustrates

reasons that little thought will develop
After Bowers had appealed to the Supreme
Court, from the order denying him new
trial, the Benhayon purported suicide
came to light, with confession alleged to

ministered poison to her, and that Dr.
Bowers Is Innocent. The verify of this

to create IN the minds of some convic

THERE are some people so short-sighted
as to declare that the repeal of the in
ternal revenue laws would, by relieving
spirituous liquors of tax, result in max
ing this nation Of drunkards. What
folly. Is it possible that any man is so
i'll informed as not to know that the con-
sumption of spirituous liquors has steadily
declined in the United States for forty
years, and that the consumption of malt
and vinous beverages has more than pro-
portionately increased? We can scarcely
conceive of an intelligence that thinks SO
ill of the American people as to hold that
they are restrained from drunkenness only
by the tax on liquors. Every man knows
that the abolition of the internal revenue
taxes tomorrow would not affect the price
of a glass of whisky anywhere in the
United States. Such gains as there would
be, the mlddlemen and distillers would
make. Moreover, all history proves that
the cost of spirituous beverages has never
appreciably affected the sobriety of a
people.

THE loyalty of the German people will
probably be put to test presently. 1t is to
be accepted as a certainty that William
Victor will not become popular with the
masses, as was "Unser Fritz" He does
not possess the elements of popularity, nor
those social and affectionate qualities that
endear a ruler to people. There is a
large party in Germany that favors broader
democratic forms than now prevail an
other large party that is FESTIVE under the
prominence that Prussia has in the EN-
pire another large party that is opposed
to greater enlargement and strengthening
o. the military arms, and still another
party that would, if it could, overthrow
the monarchy. All these William Victor
antagonizes and must FACET is said, in
deed, that he some time ago committed
himself to the enemies of the liberalism
his father favored, and allied himself with
the most radical absolutists of the day.
He may, without great difficulty, sustain
himself so long as the iron will and un-
measurable influence of Prince Bismarck
remain by him but very soon that great
mind must begin to fail, and the weary
old statesman turn to retiracy for the rest
he needs. Just what will happen then it
is impossible to forecast, but we cannot
be very far out of the way in anticipating
troublous times for Germany. There may
be no open revolt for many yea > though
we believe that the time will cone when
the great nation viii divide against itself
but there will be, so long as Victor reigns,
irritation that will cause unrest. The
same century does not give to one nation
three such men as William and William
Frederick. The third-comer is weak
where they were strong; he is to meet
difficulties that did not dare to present in
their time; he is by Just the years of his
life nearer to liberal possibilities than his
grandfather ever approached. He comes
to the throne at time calling for the
greatest wisdom and Hottest craftsmanship,
but is equipped with an undiciplined mind
and qualities that have not made him felt
in political progress, and ideas that indi-
cate his failure to appreciate the steady
decay of imperialism in Europe and the
just as steady advance of liberaliziog
tendencies.
