 prohibition convention to convene in Little Rock July 4th, for the pur- pose of putting out national cleo toral ticket and considering the ad visibility of putting State ticket in the field. This movement is fraught with more importance to the prohib itlon cause then may appear at first blush. It is really crisis in the history of the movement in this State and its popularity and strength will be increased or decreased ac- cording to the action taken by this convention. Prohibition sentiment in Arkansas has grown quite rapidly in the past eight years and is des tined to become even more popular and powerful as the years go by, if not thwarted by the over jealous work of indiscreet friends. The or ganization of a new party or the placing of a ticket in the field will be especially heartful to the cause. "It is generally considered by al! who are conyersant with the history of the progress of Temperance, that Arkansas is far in advance of all the South western States in the suppress sion of the liquor traffic, and all these good results have been attained by partisan action" says Judge Cy- pert, and it IS true. The friends of prohibition, in our opinion, could not commit a graver error than to insist upon a new departure just at this time. Many Of the leading temperance advocates oppose the movement among them are Judge J. N. Cypert and Hon. Geo. Thornburg. The Arkansas Methodist is also op- posed to it and contained in it's last issue the following sensible editorial in relation thereto;
 We do not think the convention will consider it either necessary or expedient to put out State Prohib- ition ticket.
 In about one decade Prohibition in Arkansas has grown from it's incip- ency to it's present popularity and power. This growth has been with out any party opposition in this State. There IS no party opposition here now. Leading prohibitionists are in many instances prominent and influential in existing political or ganizatlons, and from these they will not break away until the necessity arises for them to do so. At pres ent there appears no necessity for such action in this State. On the contrary it seems now expedient, that they remain In and work in the existing parties as long as they can influence and direct legislation in favor of prohibition.
 
 We have great encouragement to pursue this course; for in Arkansas prohibition is most popular where it has been most thoroughly tested. So far as we know, in every instance where fairly tried long enough, it has practically shown the beneficial effects of its operation. In this way it IS building up public sentiment too strong to be overcome by the advocates of rum and social rum, either in their direct opposition or in their plausible subterfuge of high license. This powerful sentiment, built upon both experience and ob servation, is to day the greatest ter TOT to the whiskey power. In this fast growing and rapidly extending public sentiment, they see the gath ering omens of the fatal conflict, and already they feel the tremor of the approaching cyclone, which shall sweep away the unholy traffic.

avoided hitherto, and the temperance
men of both parties have been able to
work together. But there is tendency
now to make party cry of prohibition,
and this, believe, unless checked, will in
the end prove an irreparable injury to a
cause which should have the support of
every live friend of temperance"
The Independent, which is strong for
prohibition but does not 60 in for the
third-party variety of it, deplores the
divisions among temperance men which
are the inevitable result of the movement,
and adds: "This plan of dividing pro-
hibitionists amounts simply to PROPOSE
ton to restore the saloons. A celebrated
novel puts into the mouth of one of its
a shrewd old Scotchwoman,
this exclamation: oh, Lord, how little
sense it does take to make a minister
Some such remark as this the old lady
would be sure to make if she were wit
ness of the attacks of certain political
prohibitionists on prohibition in Maine,
Georgia and elsewhere"

An EMINENT SPECIALIST.

Speaking of President Cleveland's free
trade policy, Chauncey NJ. Depew said in
his magnificent Grafton at the Washing
ton memorial exercises at Chicago, We'd
nesday:
The President says to the combined
forces of Capital and Labor, flushed with
past successes and eager for the conquest
of the world, "Halt; you are on the
wrong road" Business is built upon sta
blity of statutes. Fluctuations in the
law must not be factor in the calcula-
tions of commerce. 1t is fortunate for
the future of the country that the Presi-
dent has taken position so radical and
defiant that discussion and decision are
imperative. If the result is, as | think it
will and ought to be, the defeat of the
President and of his party, he will take
his place among the few eminent special
lists and eXperimentalists who have died
in demonstrating that the gun was not
loaded.

THE PROPOSED STATE BOARD OF
TRADE.

The State Creamery association held a
meeting at Burlington last Saturday to
take action respecting the formation of
State board of trade for the sale of but
ter and cheese. An adjourned meeting
to complete the organization will be held
at the Van Ness House, Burlington, on
Tuesday next, the 2Sth. Then it will be
decided where the exchange shall be,
both st. Adams and Burlington wanting
it. 1t is also desired to include in the
organization the maple sugar and honey
producers of the State. Exchanges of
this character have been in operation at
Elgin, H.. Canton and Ogdensburgh, n.
Y, and elsewhere for some years, and
have proved of the greatest benefit to
producers. As only members of the eX,
change will be allowed to sell through it.
all who are interested in the scheme
should attend the Burlington meetings.

WE wish to call the attention of our
readers to the notice, in another column,
of the secretary of the county agricul-
tural society. 1t seems to be necessary,
in order to the maintenance of county
fair in Middlebury, that stock company
should be formed for the purpose. Such
an organization should have been effected
years ago, but it is not too late now.
Few if any of the counties of this State,
or of any State, can produce better stock
Or better crops than this, and we ought
to have every year fair equal to any in
the country. The way to do this is to
get up just such a company as is pro-
posed Then the people as whole will
be interested and will do their share. 1t
is to be hoped that there will be present
at next Wednesdays meeting full rep
resentation of the county.

THE DEATH OF Mr.. HILGER.

PROT. H. NJ. Seely and Mrs. NJ, II. Ed
dy were suddenly summoned to \Syra-
cuse, n. Y, late Thursday afternoon of
last week, by a telegram announcing that
their sisters husband, Mr.. d. L. Hitler,
had been killed in railway accident.
Mr.. Hitler was commercial traveller.
Thursday afternoon he was riding in the
rear car of train on the Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburgh road. When near
Canton his train stopped, on account of a
hot box or something of the kind, and
while standing there, on curve, a freight
train following ran into it. The other
occupants of the car saw the danger and
escaped by jumping. Mr.. Hitler, it is
supposed, attempted to get out of the car
by the front door and had just reached
the platform when the crash came. He
was found lying beside the track with
his skull crushed in. The surmise is that
he was thrown violently against the bag
gage car.
The remains were taken to his home in
Syracuse. The Standard of that city
says: "Mr. Hitler was for many years
leading dealer in boots and shoes at Shcr-
burne, Chenango county. Becoming dis
satisfied with his business prospects there
he removed his wife and daughter to
Middlebury, VT He then began travel
ing for boot and shoe manufacturers, and
in the line of his duties made acquain-
tances and friends in all parts of the
United States. Some six months ago, in
order to afford his daughter the advan-
tages of course in Syracuse university,
he removed his family to this city. For
some time he has been representing Hale,
Baker Il Bowman, shoe manufacturers
of Syracuse. Mr.. Hitler was in religion
a Methodist, in society and in business a
gentleman always. His life correspond
ed with his professions. He lent dignity
to his trade and honor to the term COM
mercial traveller. Where he has lived no
man was held in higher regard, and
where his occupation led him he made
friends, to whom the announcement of
| lis uCdtil Will CoillC llhC d u utl DlOW Z.
StNIr. Hitler was Free Mason, being a
member of Norwich commandery, X. r."
The burial was at Oakwood cemetery,
Syracuse, on Sunday afternoon. A large
gathering of friends from central New
York, either associated in business or
connected by relationship, were present
at the funeral services. These were con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr. McAnultv, Mr.
Killers former Sherburne pastor, assisted
by the resident pastors and by an escort
of Knights Templar, who took part in
the impressive ceremonies.
Mr.. Hitler was known to a few in Mid
dlebury, where he came quite often dur
ing the time Mrs. Hitler and their daugh-
ter, Miss Grace, resided at Prof. Seely's I;
his family have many friends here who
will regret to hear of the great calamity
that has befallen them. Miss Grace, it
will be remembered, graduated at the
high school here last summer. Prof.
Seely has returned home, but Mrs. Eddy
is still with her sister at Syracuse.
