Handsome Words for prohibitionist.

Broome county. N. Y, Prohibition con-
vention unanimously named w. Jennings
Demorest, the wealthy and generous Pro
hibitionist, as their candidate for gov
ernor.
The Saratoga Eagle, Republican paper,
notices tho nomination, and says the fol-
lowing kind words of man whom all
Prohibitionists delight to honor;
''There seems to be strong movement
on the part of the Prohibitionists to make
w. Jennings Demorest their candidate
for governor. All things considered, we
doubt if our third party friends could
make g wiser selection or nominate man
who would inspire more enthusiasm or
poll larger vote.
'Mr. Demorest is rich and famous, re-
spected and influential
''Mr. Demorest is sort of O semi-Sara-
togian, having summer house in our
suburbs. He also projected the Demo-
rest Park-a lovely sylvan retreat-and
this public spiritedness has particularly
pleased Saratogians, who will honor him
with many complimentary votes, if op-
portunity occur. Having once been
candidate for lieutenant governor, and
running handsomely ahead of his ticket,
civil service reform principles would seem
to dictate the nomination of Mr.. Demo-
rest.
another argument in his favor is the
fact that he was an active and aggressive
Abolitionist when to be counted as one
was considered an evidence of fanaticism.
The Eagle again advises the Prohibition
lists to nominate that daring and jealous
advocate of their cause, W. Jennings
Demorest, for governor.
HE will be sure to put life and vitality
and brains into their canvass"

NATIONAL YOUNG MEMS LEAGUE.
A Wise Move = One for All and All
for One.

for One.
Among the many occurrences OF con-
vention week in Indianapolis few will
have wider significance than the organi-
cation of the National Young Mems league
1t has been noticed that clubs, organ
lied in the excitement of political cam
paigns, are apt to languish after the cleo
lions are over, and unsupported by any
general organization and lacking the
stimulus of a continuous purpose, they
die.
With view to strengthen the clubs,
secure to them continuous working ex-
istence, and band all the scattered organ
izations into one state league, thereby
making all mutually helpful, co-sustain-
ing and cooperative, Mr.. Frank 9. Smith,
of New Jersey, some months ago formed
the New Jersey Young Mems league.
Since then Pennsylvania has organized
with Tallie Morgan, editor Of The Scran-
ten People, as president. Several local
leagues have also been organized in other
states.
The movement is so commendable that
a meeting was called at indianapolis by
several of the young leaders of the Prohi-
bition party, including Frank G. Smith, of
New Jersey; Tallie Morgan, of Pennsyl-
vania; j. Lloyd Thomas, of New York;
w. Thomas Mills, of Ohio, and ]. B. Gran
fill, of Texas, to consider the advisability
of forming National leagne.
Lloyd Thomas presided at the meetings,
which were attended by several hundred
men from every section of the Union.
The matter was carefully considered, and
the plan having the Endorsement of our
national leaders, the League was decided
upon, and an organization was at once
effected.
The national executive committee is
composed of Tallie Morgan, president;
Hugh Harrison, Minnesota, treasurer;
J. Lloyd Thomas Samuel Dickie, W.
Thomas Mills, and Quincy L. Morrow,
Maryland.
There will be q central committee, COM
posed of the president Of each state
League. Several of the states organized
Immediately, and the work starts out
with a big boom.
Ohio will hold state convention in
Springfield July 4, and a large gathering
of the boys is expected.

Luther's Followers All Right.

The western conference of Wittenberg
synod of the English Lutheran church, in
session at Malinta, O., closed with a rous-
ing prohibition meeting, and unanimously
adopted the following resolutions:
Whereas, The American people are on
the eve of another political campaign in
volving questions of vital interest to our
national life; and,
Whereas, 1t is important that we, as a
Christian body, define our position, there
fore be it
Resolved, That religion and politics
ought to be mixed" to the extent that
Christians vote as they pray
Resolved, That the destruction of the
saloon is the question of paramount in
terest in American politics.
Resolved, That the sanctity of the
Christian Sabbath, the protection of the
home, and the elevation Of the laboring
classes cannot be accomplished as long as
we permit the saloon to rest under the
broad mantle of the law
Resolved, That we as Christian min
listers give our people the benefit of a
good example and the enlightenment of
proper teaching, in that we judiciously
use the pulpit, press and ballot in har-
mony with the foregoing resolutions.

Demorest Medal Contests.

The national convention of the Prohi-
bition party at Indianapolis showed its
appreciation of Mr.. Demorest's noble
work by adopting, with three cheers. the
following resolution:
Resolved, That this convention hereby
expresses its sincere appreciation of the
wisdom and success of the scheme for
special instruction of the people in prohi-
bition, knowledge and sentiment known
as the ''Demorest Evolutionary Medal
Contest, now practically used in almost
every state and territory in the Union,
and we tender our thanks to W. Jennings
Demorest for his remarkable generosity In
the furtherance of his noble work.

duties as minister in the CampbeIlite
church and removed to Missouri. He
organized the Prohibition forces in that
state in 1880, and has been the leader in
the local option contests which have re-
deemed many of the counties of that state.
In 1884 he fully identified himself with
the Prohibition party, and as Prohibition
candidate for governor cut down the i'm
mense Democratic majority to bare
plurality of a few hundred votes. Cleve-
land carried the state by 30, 900 majority,
while Marmaduke was elected governor
by only APO plurality.
DR.. Brooks is a lecturer of extraordinary
power, IN excellent organizer, and as
district agent of the National Prohibition
bureau has done great service for the party
throughout the southwest.
He is very popular and will poll large
vote and add greatly to the strength of
our national ticket.

HIGH License.

I only know one other class of men in
the community whom 1 held in as great
contempt as the saloon keeper, namely,
their creatures, the legislators who give
them authority to destroy souls. 1t is not
often that the creature is creator, but in
this case there is no lower ground for
them to stand on, and the next place be-
low is the one that hasn't any bottom.
AS to high license, it is simply bigger
division with the devil, and the child of
the man who was killed by high license
whisky doesn't take any pride in saying
to the orphan of the free whisky drunk
ard: ''I'm higher in the social scale than
you are, for my father was slain by high
license. Sam Small.

The Saloon in Politics.

The prohibition movement has certainly
done good deal more to keep the Repub-
lican party up to the mark of it's high
calling, and to make it in these latter days
what it was in the beginning, a party of
moral ideas, than any influence inside the
party. The high license legislation in
this state is due vastly more to the pres
ence of the Prohibitionists than to the de-
sires or sentiments of those who control
the machinery of the dominant party

NOTICES TO ARREST THOUGHT.
Sermons in Sentences-Banners Hung on
Prohibitions Outer Walls.

The prohibition reform is rich in cpl
grammatic utterances. Every Prohibition
speaker is loaded with them. Every
Prohibition convention coins new SEN
fences which in their power to startle,
convince and enthuse voters are truly
unique. Below is a series of notices
which have adorned the walls of conven-
ton halls during the last few weeks
Each one is an argument in itself, and the
changes should be rung upon them
throughout the campaign:
"Woe unto them that justify the
wicked for rewards"
"No evil can be exterminated by sell
ing it the right to exist"
Local option creates local selfshness,
paralyzes patriotism, intrenches the liquor
traffic in its strongholds."
"High license is the devils bnlwark for
the liquor traffic; the greater the revenue,
the greater the bulwark"
"Ihat which is morally wrong, cannot
be politically right"
ga vote which helps to elect an issue
far outweighs in influence a vote which
simply elects a man or party"
I'm God we trust"
each individual becomes voluntary,
and therefore a guilty abeator of the
liquor traffic, who votes for a license
party"
Partisan prohibition means prohibit
ton that will prohibit"
"No license for revenue only no pro-
lection, no free trade for the liquor
traffic"
"Non- partisan prohibition is non-en-
forced prohibition-that kind the people
now repudiate."
High license makes the liquor seller
collector of revenue. Poor women and
children starve and freeze that the rich
may elude taxation. Obi the infamy of
itP
National prohibition by party whose
supremacy depends upon it's enforcement
will win"
"The Prohibition party is the true Anti
Poverty party"
Local option is too local and too OPP
tional"
prohibition will obliterate the sec
tional and color line in politics."
"a half million votes for the Prohibi-
ton party in 1888 means only two parties
In 1892, no matter by what name called,
divided upon this issue; The home VS..
the saloon"
"a high license tax means a powerful
opiate for the voters conscience
1.-The Prohibition army of the Blue and
dray, 500,0 900 strong, to conquer rum"
1.-The liquor traffc-lt cannot be legal
lied without sin"
''Ihe internal revenue is an Internal
avenue leading to eternal perdition."
Zone God, one nation north and south. !"
''No protection or free trade for the
liquor traffic"
1--WE protest against criminal and pau
per immigration"
Every vote is for or against the liquor
traffic"
mo trades, no compromises.
Tax or license is legalizing iniquity."
High license, the devils bulwark for
the liquor traffic"
"Fremont's vote of 1856 for the Pro-
hibition party of 1888"
"a party will never do right if you vote
for it when it does wrong"

An UprOars

MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 12-There is
great excitement prevailing at Marion
the county seat Of Crittenden County
Arkansas. The county has been under
negro rule since 1870, and nearly every
officer OF the county is colored. Sew
eral days ago warnings were sent
through the mails to several prominent
citizens to leave the county. These
notices were sent. it is thought, at the
InStlgation of D. w. Lewis and
David Furguson, the Judge and clerk
OF the county court, both of
whom are colCred, and both being un-
der indictment for drunkenness, and
neglect of duty. This morning NO
armed white men proceeded to clear the
town OF all the ring leaders. Lewis
He'd last night Ferguson resigned to-
day and was given Until 10 morrow to
settle up and arrange his books. The
co!oTed assessor, together with several
3olored deputy clerks, were escorted to
the train, given tickets and warned
never to r,turn. The whites stood
guard all last night, fearing an attack,

Mrs. Morton Arrested.

TOPEKA, July 12-At noon to-day, a
warrant was served On Mrs. Morton by
Constable Davis, charging her with vic
lating the laws of Kansas in relation to
marriage by living with man not her
husband. She was then separated from
Moore and ss.gned to another room.
Moore received a warrant also, but being
already i'll the custody of officers, it was
not served on him. 1t is thought Mrs.
Morton will plead guilty to the charge
and receive the minimum penalty a
fine of $500.
Mrs. Norton, in conversation with a
correspondent soon after the warra1 t
was served, said. at is the work of
Norton, am satisfied he has instigated
this pro secutiOn; they want 10 get all
the money, SO we will be unable to
resist their prosecution Moore be-
came very much enragsd at this new
turn OF affairs. Late last night Mrs.
Norton made a proposition to judge
Laughiin that she would leave Moore
altogether if they would release
him and cease prosecution, but
Laughlin refused to listen to
the proposition. The terrible stra

feeling very cheerful. Judge Laughlin
had another Interview with her this
morning, and again urged her to leave
Moore, but she would not listen to him,
ard ABRUPTLY turned away from him
while he was talking. Judge Laughlin
said afterwards: 4 had some hopes last
night that we would persuade her
to leave Moore. In fact [ believe she
had made up her mind to do so, but
this morning she has her back up and
will listen TO no one. | have about come
to the conclusion we can do nothing in
that direction. She may as well make
up her mind, however. that Moore will
be prosecuted to the full extent of the
law, and no doubt will spend
q good time in the penitentiary.
Moore's attorneys have announce d
their determination to make a fight
against taking Moore back. The Gov
ernor's warrant directing the arrest of
Moore. in obedience to the requisition
OF the Governor of Missouri, is now in
the hands of the sheriff. Moore's at
torneys declare the requisition papers
will not hold good, and that on the
hearing OF the hGbeaS corpus proceedings
tomorrow the prisoner will be released.

Lanham, of Texas, said he had some
doutN as to the propriety Of the wool
schedule, but he had resolved that the
doubt was in favor of the duty which
ne owed TO the party to which ho be
loDged.
Dinglev, OF Maine, said the Mills bill
had been launched in the press
and wool had declined cents
a pound. If the discussion Ct Il e bill
had dcn9 this, what would the bill
Itself do to the injury Of the farmer?
J. D. Taylor, of Ohio, regarded the
bill as conspiracy for Ultimate
free trade and attacked its general
features, aud more especial that fea-
ture placing wool on the free list.

House took 4 recess until o. clock, the

teen such measures on the calendar, but

WAsHINGT0M, July y "A resolution
to print extra copies o; the report
the committee on pensions in the case
OF seven vetoed pension bills, was the
text for some political discussion.
Cockrel desiring TO have the first of
the pension vetoes (the Doherty case)
printed among other veto cases,
Hawley intImating that the publication
Of the veto would not help the PreSi-
dent or his party with the surviving
ioldiers of the late war; with the
soldiers vote of the country. The dis
cussiou was participated in by Davis,
Stewart, Hear, Batter and Blair, becom-
ing quite bitter and personal between
th9 two later gentlemen. With
olt djspoging o; the subject, The
Senate proceeded to the consideration
of the fisheries treaty, and was addressed
by George IN favor OF Its ratification.
He said the matter CT the r. lection Of the
treaty had already been settled by Re
publican Senator's in @ caucus, and this
open debate was not for the purpose of
settling what ought to be done, but to
justify what had been decided to be done
by arraigning before the American peo-
pie ths President for negligence
or lnditte ence to American rights by a
rejection or the treaty, 1t was hoped
that enough voters would be seduced
into the support of the Republican
ticket to reverse the action of the
American people in 1884, and TO return
to the coveted power those who had
been elected that year.
George defended the provisions of the
treaty at some length.
At the conclusion of Georges speech,
the bill to pay s. 900 to Mrs. Lar,mer,
OF Wyoming, for important services in
giving Information concerning the hos
tile purpose of the Sioux Indians, was
passed.
The Senate then took up the bill re
ferrIug to the court of claims-claims
of laborers, workingmen and mechanics

June 25th, 1868, for excess of labor
