FRIGHTENED REPUBLICANS.
The Growth of Prohibition Strength .
 Source of Alarm.

WARRINGTON, Aug. l2.-From the best political information that can be obtained at the capital it would seem that the attitude of the Prohibitionists in this campaign IS very alarming ts Republican mana gers. They fear that the Prohibi- ton vote in the State of Now York, unless something can bs done to check the movement, will approxi' mate 75,000 at the. next election. Tho Republican managers claim net to be alarmed at the outlook, and will not admit that the Prohi- bitionists can poll more that 50 900 votes at the farthest. A gentleman

From the New York Sun.
 The Blaino Republicans now have headquarters in this town separate and distinct from those of the Re- publican National Executive Com mittce.

They have regular hierarhy of campaign officers, from the grand marshal-general down to the subor- dinate who puts postage stamps on the stirring orders issued by the central authority; and at the pres ent time there is rapidly crystaliz-

Hung at Last.

ST. LOUIS, August l0.-The last act of the celebrated St. Louis trunk mystery WIS rchearsed this morning when Maxwell, the mur- derer of Preller, was hanged in the jail at S:56 thls morning. Maxwell retained his composure throughout and died like man in the expIa- ton of his crime. The hanging was double, Landgrat being the murderer executed with Maxwell.
 The crime for which Maxwell was hung is too we'll known to need q resume. His crime, flight over the continent and to Auckland, and his subsequent capture, ranks among the great exploits of the criminal world. His trial and all It's phases have been the most proni- nent in years, and all the power that could savo nan was cxerted Tn his behalf, and finally the last resort was had, and failed. Land, graf, his fellow passenger in his aerial trip, was cowardly woman murderer, and lacked Maxw ellis nerve. He had tried the insanity dodge, but it was too transparent, and he was hung in the same yard to-day. This ends the great criminal-legal chapter in the his tory of St. Lotus. -[Pino Bluff Commercial.

Scepticism.

By reason of tho stato of chrome incredulity in which many mon pass their lives they miss half the good of this world. They scom to thlnk that doubt and unbelief are proofs of wisdom, and through fear of being deceived reject much that IS true and good. To such minds tho statement that Dr. Pierce s Golden Medical Discovery is real and proven cure for all diseases caused by torpid liver, bad blood or scrofulous humors carries with it it's own condemnation. They do not believe it, apparently, because we say so, and yet what more, or less, than this can we do7 We know the facts, and if we do not make public the great value of this remedy few would profit by It. We try to do our duty in the matter and it remains for tho doubter who needs help to overcome his prelu- dice and give 1t a trial.

REASON AGAINST RANT.

On his return from his long ab- senee in Europe, Mir. Blaine finds great political changes which 1t is impossible for him or for anyon-, however sbrewd and astute, to com prehend until he is fully under the influence of the atmosphere in which they arc taking place. The best informed American politician can get no proper idea of Ameri- can politics from Rome, Paris, or the Scotch Highlands.
 Without waiting to feel the pub lie pulse" now that he is close enough to It to put hls fingers on it. MT. Blaine, with characteristic bold ness, thrusts himself in front of those who had been party leaders In bis absence. This |. cle arly, it seems to us, the intention of the two speeches he made in New York on landing. They are an announce ment that he will Do tho leader Tn the campaign rathor than an OK plicit announcement of his policy as a campaign leader. He will declare that policy in his first set speech, and announce it formally in Harr,- sons letter of acceptance, which Harrison has been too timid to pre- pare and publish before his arrival. Tn the meantime, his intentions may be inferred from the New York speeches. The issue, ho says, IS
 Whether the great mass of Amer ican citizens who earn their broad my the sweat of their brow shall Dc seriously reduced in their emolu' ment from day to day lapplauseJ J- that is the whole pith and moment of this question. Anything that di verts the question from that single point is a weakening of the cam palgn.
 Aga,n he says the appeal lies tt the workingman;
 gay here that the wages of tht American laborer cannot be reduc ed except with tho consent and th' votes of the American laborer him self. The appeal hes to hlm. l comes to his door and asks hin whether, with the great power oi the franchise of tho great majority he possesses in hls own hands, he is willing for himself and his asso ciates, hIs children and his chil dren's children, to take that fata step at the bidding of an Americar Congress. and an Amorlcan Presl dent who are governed by the ole ment which sought to destroy thi nation.
 There are hero suggested tive lines of campaigning-the "slngl' point" of telling tho Americsr workingman that his wages will b. reduced if he does not vote the Re publican ticket, and the appeal tC the sectional prejudices of thu North with the cry that the South ern ConfederScy has been revived is in power at Washington, and i' determined to destroy the Norti by turning Northern trade over tc England.

Last night man, who was q stranger,
boarded one OF the street cars, which run
between Centre Square and Meg ann park.
There were no passengers on board, and
the stranger became engaged In converse
ton with the driver. Finally he produced
. very heavy gold ring, which he insisted
was Of the best quality. He said that he
had seen u man lay the ring down while
he washed his hands In the Broad street
station, Philadelphia, and he could not re.
slst the tenn ptatlon to steal IL He wanted
to sell the ring and asked "a for IT. The
driver said he did not want IT. but finally
agreed to take II . much less sum. He
was not sure that 1t was good, but con-
cluded that II was not he would not be
much out, and II Il was he might find the
real owner. This morning the ring was
taken to . Jeweler, who pronounced It very
good and just - represented. Inside o
the riAg are the initials " 9. A. N. Upon
inquiry Il was learned that the same fellow
boarded other street cars yesterday and OF.
fered to sell rings. One Of the drivers at
once recognized him o. fellow who tried
to sell him rings last summer. Tho fellow
IL believed to be thief who comes here from

upon standing. Upon arriving here he
