More than one half the counties oil
Missouri that nave voted on the liquor
question have gone dry, and this with
out much regard to their political views
as Democratic or Republican. The
temperance sentiment is not confined
to the country districts either. Thirteen
of the twenty towns that have voted on
the subject have also gone dry. Twenty
years ago he would have been bold
prophet who had prophesied anything
like temperance sentiment getting a
controlling power IN Missouri and other
Southern and Southwestern States that
have recently become leaders of the
temperance movement.

As will be seen by the report in our
local columns the Republican State
Central Committee met in Baltimore
on Wednesday and selected Easton as
the place, and May II the day for
holding the State Convention, to select
delegates at large to the Chicago Ma
tional Convention. The Congre ssional
Conventions will meet on May 9, at
Denton, Waverly, Baltimore, Laurel
and Cumberland. The meeting of the
committee was marked by spirit and
enthusiasm, which are the indications
of an harmonious organization, and the
earnest of an energetic and aggressive
campaign this fall.

A Handsome Catalogue

We refer to the Garden Manual for
1883 issued by Z. De. Forest Ely & Co..
of this city. 1t is one of the handsomest
we have yet seen. Among the contents
we notice the following, which is we'll
worthy of reproduction: I'VE started our
business with the frank statement that
we did not own an acre of ground for the
cultivation of seeds, and believed we
could supply better and purer seeds at
less cost than if we did; and we have
proved our assertion to be true. That
this is a fact can be readily seen at
glance, and is also the reason why we can
supply so good seeds as cheaply as we do.
We make no losses by failure of crops, 60
to no expense of fertilization and labor
for which we get no return. by our con-
tracts, all crops must be perfect in ma
turity or we do not have to receive them;
while the owners of large farms, if they
make any blighted crops. are, at least,
strongly tempted to try and get some
thing out of them. "-From tile Practical
Farmer, FEB IS.

The Rev. DIR. Dix, a distinguished
New York divine and rector of Trinity
Church, the wealthiest church corpora
ton in America, recently delivered a
sermon in which he portrayed too for
chilly for the comfort OF some of his
wealthy listeners the vices and social
sins OF that metropolis. Being taken to
talk for his trankness, he replied through
the columns of The Churchman de-
Tending his utterances, and defining his
views of the clerical prerogative in the
following concise and trenchant style :
"The preacher" we are told, sis
more than a teacher of abstract truths.
He is called to stand in judgment over
men. He is false to his high calling
unless he rebukes vice boldly as well as
expounds the truth distinctly. This is
part of his office which men least
readily suffer MIN to discharge, and
when vices of the age of Juvenal gre
stigmatized and lashed with a point
and power real as Roman satirist ever
welded, but with a love and elevation
he never knew, the public and that part
of the press that panders to the public
cry out in scorn or anger. Shall open
vice staring US in the street, the theatre,
the newspaper, ask the pulpit to throw
veil over it and speak softly of it?
When vice is fragrant and open, and
society frivolous and corrupt, the
preacher who knows the responsibilities
of his office will leave inviting topics of
political and social interest, and launch
himself without hesitation into exposure
and lnvective. Silence at such times
is next door to completely. Only by
the boldest denunciation can the min
lister of God prove himself not alone the
teacher but the judge of men," ETC., etc.

A contemporary recently remarked
with pertinent good sense, that II II
were possible to eliminate from the
present session of Congress all consld'
Grafton of the coming presidential con-
test, the public benefits conferred by 1t
would be much greater than they prob
ably will be. No matter what important
measure may be brought forward for
consideration, it will be viewed solely
in the light of its possible influence
upon the result at the polls in Novem-
Der next. No better illustration of this
fact is needed than the tilibusterlng
resorted to during the past ten days by
the Democratic leaders IN the lower
House of Congress. President Cleve-
lands free trade champions have organ
lied deadlock, and have determined
to delay and obstruct legislation of
every kind, because bill providing for
the refunding of the direct war tax
levied upon the States in 1861 does not
please them. This money was raised
by this method to meet an extraordinary
national emergency. Most of the States
paid the tull amount of the levy. If
refunded Maryland would receive
S4S7,ooo, and an aggregate of twenty
millions would be distributed among
the States which were loyal during the
war. The passage of this bill however
would jeopardize that of the Mills free
trade bill, which seems to be an admin
istration hobby for relieving the treasury
of its surplus, and therefore for purely
partizan reasons about sixty members
of Congress, most of them from South
ern States, have resolved to suspend
legislation by organizing this parliament
tary dead lock. 1t looks as though
this whole scheme to prolong the ses-
sion of Congress and waste the peoples
money had been concocted by the
Presidents free-trade advisers. A con-
sentative Philadelphia journal we'll says
of this movement, thai If it is the Fates'
decree to destroy the Mills tariff party,
including Mr.. Mills, the Breckinridges
and Speaker Carlisle himself, they could
not have impelled their victims to
crazier conduct than the facuous war
fare against the Direct Tax Refunding
bill they have been wantonly and vainly
waging for the greater. part of week.
1t is fit sequence to the whole course
of attempted bull doing by the Mills
Breckinridge-Carlisle party in their
revenue reform operations to attempt to
prevent the passage of bill which
average common justice says ought to
be passed, by an effort to put upon it
another bill which average common
sense says ought not to be passed.
This is the latest of the series of blum
ders about the surplus and the tariff
which was begun in the House on the
first day of the session by that speech
of Speaker Carlisle's which is now a
memorable and monumental instance
of the absurdity into which overheated
and overweight zeal can carry even
an able man.

Important Decision of the United States
Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, April 12-The Supreme
Court of the United States today rem
dered an opinion in case No. 9l4-Wm.
L. Powell. plaintiff in error. versus the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania, COM
monty known as ''the olermargarine
case" IN error to the Supreme Court of
Pennsylvania, sustaining the validity of
IA statute of that commonwealth, making
it unlawful for any person to manufac-
ture sell or offer for sale any butter or
cheese, or article designed to take the
place of these articles produced from any
compound other than unadulterated milk
aud cream. The plaintiff was convicted
of violation of this statute and took an
appeal, basing it on the ground that the
statute was in violation OF the fourteenth
amendment to the Constitution, and that
the article sold was new invention not
deleterious to the public health. The
court holds that it is entirely within the
police powers of the state to protect the
public health. and that the questions
whether the manufacture of oleomarga-
rine is, or may be, conducted i'll such
4 way as to involve such danger to
the public health as to require the sup
preston of the business rather than its
regulation, are questions of act and of
public policy which oelong TO the legisla-
litive department 10 determine. II all
that can be said OF this legislation is that
it Is unwise or necessarily oppressive,
their appeal must be to the Legislature
or to the ballot box, not to the judiciary.
The court also says it cannot assent to
the argument tnat il this statute is sus
tanned. then nothing stands in the way Of
the destruction by the Legislative depart
ment of the constitutional guarantees of
liberty and properGy. The answer to this
argument it holds is. that the Judiciary
department is bound not to gre effect to
statutory cnactments that are plainly
forbidden by the Constitution. The OBJ
.jecSon that the statute denies the equal
protection nf the laws is also held To be
untenable, for the reason that the same
penalties and burdens are imposed upon
all persons engaged in the same business.
Judgment affirmed. Opinion by Justice
Harlan, Justice Field dissenting.

We have received from Mr.. l.. P. Hub
bard, the venerable Secretary of the New
England Society in New York, copy of
the annual proceedings. Mr.. Hubbard is
a native of Hollis, n. Fl. Accompanying
the report is very remarkable leaflet,
entitled Chow a Smoker Got Home"
The leaflet is statement by Mr.. Hub
bard how he began smoking and finally
left off, and deposited the money in
savisgs bank. He had smoked six cigars
a day. which. at q cents each, came to
1886 so per aunun. Laying aside this
amount annually, and adding interest for
54 years, the amount is $73, 1924 So After
a few years Mr.. Hubbard took his cigar
money from the bank and bought
beautiful home at Greenwich, CT where
he has since resided, surrounded by his
children and all the comforts of life.
"Great as the saving has been, "he adds,
at is not to be compared with improved
health. clear and steady hand, at the
age of 10 years, and entire freedom from
desire for tobacco in any FORM" This is

be put into the hands of every child in
the land. -Nashua(N. III } Telegraph.

well. 1t has improved steadily since
