THE prohibtionists, that is to say those
who love prohibition for temperance sake,
will be delighted at the decision handed
down by Justice Lamar, OF the L. $. SUI
preme Court. The case was appealed
from Iowa and by a distiller whose bust
ness was condemned as a nuisance, who
claimed that the Iowa prohibitory stat
ute was in violation Of the Sth article of
the Federal Constitution. The decision
denies this and makes it clear that a
state can absolutely prohibit the manu-
facture and sale of liquors within its bor-
ders without violating any principle of
that Constitution

TIE supreme court of Ohio has affirm
cd the decision of the lower court sem
fencing Mrs. Garrett to die January "a
for a most heinous murder. 1t is two
to one, though, that she will not be
hung. The prevailing sentiment that
women should not suffer death in that
manner will no doubt succeed in secur-
ing her at least communication OF the
sentence to life imprisonment. A wo-
man mean enough to murder her two
weak minded step-daughters and burn
them before the life had hardly left their
bodies is as fit subject for the gallows as
man who would do such a deed.

In the coming election you vote Ivy
ballot in the Congressional race. The
ballot must be written or printed on a
small slip of white paper and contain
the candidates name without other dis
tinguishing marks. For instance, the
ballots for our nominee are printed,
James b. McCreary, and this name alone
is all that can be put on it. Should two
ballots be folded together neither will
be counted, and if your name or any
thing else is written or printed on it it
will not be counted. For presidential
electors the good and honest old viva
voice methods will prevail.

THE FOE OF FRAUDS.


SHOWN by the fOrtner.
As a stump advocate Mr.. Blaine fares
no better In the west than in the east. His
unfortunate allusiou to trusts at Portland
Is appropriately supplemented by his dis.
cussion of pensions at Detroit. In much
bitterness of spirit he finds fault with the
president for vetoing private pension bills
while there is a surplus in the United
States treasury. From the tone and tenor
of his complaint the logical inference Is
that II he were In Mr.. Cleveland's place
the measures would have received official
sanction. In other words. he would have
signed the bills regardless of the illegality
Of the claims they embodied, Than this
avowal no better illustration could be
given Of the broad distinction bet ween the
methods Of Mr. Blaine and Mr.. Cleveland
In public life. No pretense Is offered by
the partisan critics of the president that
any deserving applicant for pension has
ever been deprived Of his or her rights BY
executive action Mr.. Cleveland's vetocs
have been directed not at those who were
entitled To relief. but at the cormorants,
adventures aud hypocrites who. under
cover Of patriotism, attempt to swindle the
government and despoil honest pension.
ers. II there Is any ground on which the
present administration can challenge criti
cism In preference to another IL Is the rec
ord on pensions. During little more than
three years In office President Cleveland
has signed more pension bills than were
signed by any OF his predecessors. and
within fraction of rs many as were ap.
proved by all of them put together. 70
his untiring industry and faithful de.
votion TO duty are attributable the dctec.
ton and exposure Of the fraudulent claim.
ants whose appeals for relief have been
rejected. Because Mr., Cleveland carried
into the presidency the conscientious re.
gard for his official obligations that dis.
tinguished him In the governorship OF the
empire state he has stood steadfast as
the uncompromising foe of pension thieves
and all other thieves alike. II Is by
reason of Mr.. Cleveland's rugged honesty
and resolutc courage and Of Mr. Blaine's
lack Of these qualities that tho former Is
In the White House and the latter Is on
the partisan stump. The American people
with unerring instinct have not fniled TO

public servant and the brilliant but un.

4 COUPLE of domestics, Maggie Calvin
and Maggie Lloyd, at Greensburg, Pa,
agreed to end their sorrows over the fact
that they had no good clothes, in sui
eide. Miss Lloyd stood to her part OF
the compact and went hence, but the
Calvin girl weakened and lived to tell
the tale. After studying over the mat
ter she has arrived at the conclusion that
even thin and shabby clothes here is bet

cast iron clothes could not Withstand the

DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
WITH SUPPLEMENT.

Ir is evident that the republican man.
ayers, despairing ofelecting Harrison and
Morton, are concentrating their efforts
ON carrying the House, which has now
but majority of ~ in favor of the dem
ocrats. The protected interests know
that to carry it is their only salvation,
for on the swearing in of Allen G.. Thur.
man, their old standby, the Senate will
have passed into democratic control, and
with democratic House the Mills bill
will become law without further ado.
All the weak districts will be plastered
over with money and that argument will
be used for all it is worth. The repub'
Leans claim that they will gain one
member in Kentucky, giving them four,
but if the democrats are alive to their
duty, they will lose at least two, instead
of gaining one. The importance OF every
democrat voting is too manifest to need
argument and the importance of return
ing Gov. McCreary to the halls of legis-
lation, where he has served his county
and his district 50 well, is too apparent
to require more than the mere suggest
ion. His defeat would be national cal
an,ity, and while we do not believe he is
in any danger o: it, We would urge every
democrat to go to the polls and not de-
sert the party at the time it is nearly in
position to do the greatest good to the
greatest number, by reducing the bur
dens OF unnecessary taxation.
Semi-weekly interior journal. [volume] (Stanford, Ky.) 1881-1905, 1888-10-26
dens OF unnecessary taxation.

KEEP always in mind that a tariff is a
tax which you pay every time you buy
a protected article. This tax, which is
annually piling up millions of surplus in
the National treasury, the democrats
will reduce, ii given the chance, and so
arrange it that the Injuries of life and
not the necessities shall bear the heavi-
est burden. The republicans, on the
other hand, would keep up a war tariff
in times OF peace and give the people
free whisky in the place of free clothing
and other necessaries. 1t should not
take sensible man long to decide be-
tween them. That decision is bound to
be in favor OF the democrats, and when
il is made he sure and emphasize it by
your vote on the 9th of November.

New York, New Jersey, Connecticut

paper gives California to the republic
