doesn't take much to satisfy some
people" as was evidenced by the
Editor of the Mountain Echo in re-
gard to the Temperance resolution
passed by a portion of She Republi-
can Convention on the eve of ad-
journment. Referring to the plat
form as a whole the Editor says:
We have never seen a more man
ly, outspoken declaration of the
principles and policy which should
govern q party in its administra-
ton of National affairs than this.
OF course, everybody expected a
straightforward un ambiguous, cas-
lily understood declaration of princi-
pies, one to which there should not
Re two interpretations"
Then with an air of charming
seriousness he continues; "There
is, however, one serious omission
and We are very sorry for it." He
then relates the well bred manner
in which the Platform Committee
received the representatives of the
Anti-Saloon Republicans, who at
tempted to show these gentlemen
that to "any party which makes
any pretentions to be governed by
any principle of morality, the dom
ination of the Saloon in it's Coun-
ellis is DEATH" adding pathetically,
"but there is in the platform no
reference to the resolution"
The 'serious commission" did not
prevent the editor of the Echo from
concluding exultingly, I'VE are per-
fectly suited"
Later, he discovered that after
the Platform had been sent out the
Candidates nominated and goodly
portion Of the Convention were
homeward bound, the following
straightforward, unambigioue"
resolution was adopted
"The first concern of good gov
eminent ia the virtue and sobriety
of the people and the purity of
their homes. The Republican par
ty cordially sympathizes with all
wise and we'll directed efforts for
the promotion of temperance and
morality"
"This" says Bro. Thompson,
"greatly modifes our view as ex-
pressed in the editorial referred to.
1t seems to us an honest utterance,
and as Mr.. J. ]. Hetzel said to us
in brief interview we had with
him at Cumberland on Wednesday,
cit ought to satisfy any reasonable
temperance man."
That depends upon what he
wanted and event for"

"The drinking saloon Is the en-
envy of civilization and humanity,
and has become a vicious and pot
ent factor in American politics in
open alliance with the Democratic
Party. The Supreme Court of the
United States having reafirmed
the rightful power OF the several
states over the liquor traffic, the
people have the right and should
have the opportunity to deal with
this question, through the agency
of the ballot, by the adoption OF
such measures as public sentiment
will make most effective, and the
exercise of this popular right
should not be prevented 0r hinder
ed We congratulate the country
upon the advance in public senti-
ment and in legislation on this
subject, and the Republican Party,
whenever and wherever Entrusted
with power, will give effect to the
popular will in relation to this as
to other questions"
Comparing this with the post
morton plattitude of the convention
as quoted above will show what the
anti-saloon Repu blicans went fol
and what they got.

He Is for Cleveland Now, but in 1892 VIII
Be a Candidate.
New York Special.
Followers of Governor Hill say he will 60 to
the national Democratic convention in St Louis
June and will lead the New York delegation
there in the interest of Grover Cleveland and
that he will also make the nominating speech,
after which Mr.. Cleveland is expected to be re-
nominated unanimously. Furthermore. the
gossip goes that at the State convention for
the selection of national delegates, which
will probably be held in Saratoga about the
middle Of May. the following will be chosen as
the four delegates at large: David B. Hill. Ed
ward Murphy, ir., OF Troy, Richard Croker OF
TINS city. and Asssmblyman William F. Shee-
han. of Buffalo. Also, that under no circum-
stances will David B. Hill accept . denomination
for Governor, but when his term expires, Dec.
II next, he will retire to ElmirA, where he will
resume the practice Of law. During the next
four years he will quietly 'lay pipes" and care
fully groom himself for presidential nomina-
ton in 1892
But friends OF President Cleveland and his
administration think and talk differently. They
concede that Hill may go to the national con-
vention as delegate at large, and that he NAV
make the nominating speech in Cieveland's be-
half. They also admit that Edward Murphy,
jr, of Troy. the chairman OF the State commit
tee may also be selected as a delegate at large
in consideration of his position. But Cleve-
lands friends in the County Democracy smile
derisively when the names of Croker and
Sheehan ara mentioned. and stoutly assert that
Daniel Lockwood, of Erie, and x-Mayor Ed
ward Cooper of this city, will make up the
complement of delegates at large

CASTOR OIL AS A PANACEA.
How More than One Hundred Men We
Made Well by q Single Prescription.

Colonel Bever. of the confederate army. re-
lates that his surgeon came TO him one day. say
ing that he had 175 men on the sick list. Many
of them believed to be playing sick, and
the colonel and the surgeon agreed upon q course
of treatment. The result showed that, what
ever progress may have been made iI the SCIENCE
of medicine, nothing is more effective, in many
cases, than q certain very simple and old-fash-
toned remedy.
Next morning at roll-call had the sergeant
major form the sick IN double file and march
ready with bucket of castor oil in hand a
tablespoon in the other and his sleeves rolled up.
One hundred and eighty-two sturdy inva,ids in
open ranks, were before him. and the solemn
preparations had attracted much attention
that half the brigade were present to see the
fun.
Tho doctor gravely approached the head of the
.'WelI. Brown. what ails you this morning7"
"Oh, Doctor, have such a nervous head
ache."
and with a wry face, amid the shouts of his
comrades, Brown took it.
Mullins, are you sickF"
YES, doctor, have the plumbago"
Castor oil Is the very thing for that" said
the doctor. with an audible smile. and Mullinss
''plumbago" was creased with heavy dose.
"Hallc. Melton! What's the matter with
yon7"
"Colic.n said Melton, feebly.
'bad?" asked the doctor.
"Not very. don't need any OIL"
You must take this" said the doctor, "un-
less you well enough to go hack to duty"
'I1l go back thsn." murmured Melton, looking
around apprshsnsiyely.
"Adju,ant." said, put him on double guard
for shamming.'
Thus tho issue was clearly defined castor oil
or double duty, and quite a number of them ac-
cepted the latter. The fun among the outsiders
was uproarious; bad jokes flew thick and fast
The curative properties of caster oil bordered
upon the marvellous. for next morning not over
fifty men were reported on the sick list

Fairmont West virRirian.
The Rev. Samuel Clawson, an old-time vir-
GINA mountain preacher. is reported to have
said in the heat of revival sermon: ssThank
God. the day is not far distant when you sinners
will be chained down to helrs brazen floor, and
the deyil, with his thres-pronged harpoon. will
pierce Your sinful. rocking hearts and pile up
the red hot cinders of black damnation upon your
blackensd souls as high as the pyramids Of
Egypt and fry out the fat of your pride TO grease
the gudgeons of help
On another occasion. at q revival meeting,
there a drunken fellow in the audience who
arose in his seat while the Rev. Clawson was
preaching, and fapping his arms crowed like a
rooster. With flashing eyes the bacEwoods
preacher stopped his dis course suddenly and
pointing his long and bony index finger at!the
interrupter of the services, waited one moment
until the attention of the audience was fixed
upon the desscrator of the church. Then With
that peculiar power OF speech and action for
which he was noted, the swarthy preachers
words fairly hissod through his teeth as no rose
upon his tp-toes in the pulpit and fred this vol
ley at the drunken brute:

flying through hell with all the feathers

A Specimen piece of Dishonesty.

The following letter was addressed to the
Phalanx the organ of the Prohibition party.
AS that paper declines to publish it, it is given
to the public through tho journal:
To the Editor of the Phalanx:
have just read in your issue of the 10th the
unmanlv attack upon DR.. Goodwin and beg to
offer few words in reply. This is the line of
your thought:
l. A few weeks since the Phalanx challenged
DR.. Goodwin to say whether his paper was not
originated IN the interest OF the Republican
party.
q No answer was made to the inquiry.
3. Now you print circular letter of his in
which he asks anti-thrd party Methodists THAT
is, Republicans.) to assist in circulating his pa
a. Then YOU proceed 10 call him liar, a
''sleek old religio- political shyster.n and desig
nate his paper as of sdisreputable origin" and
s'devish purpose" full of 'les and abominable
Church."
This is harsh language. abuse without provo
cation. Dr.. Goodwin was under no obligation
to answer your challenge. His silence not
the interest of the Republican party. If he
knew the vile language which you are capable
no reply was needed. DR.. Goodwin is a prohi-
bitionist. but not party Prohibitionist. He
is Republican anti-saloonist. His posi-
ton is that of 90 per cent. of the
who carried the amendment in Iowa and Kan
sas. He has never concealed his sentiments
They have appeared in every Issue of the Indi-
personal PROD
erty. He has right to advocate them, and
to ask any of the same opinion to assist in
circulating his paper-as much right you
have to advocate your opinions and seek SUBJ
scribers.
Did you mean to intimate that DR.. Goodwiu's
paper had been subsidized Such AN insinua-
tion is ridiculous in the face of his letter pub
lished in your columns. For if money fur
ished by the Republican committee to circulate
the Advocate, there would be no need
of appeal for subscribers. Besides DIR. Good
win is an honest. truthful and reputable Christian
gentleman, too well known in this community
to require defense against your aspersions. All
the money expended in political campaign
could not buy him over to a cause which be
does not approve. and / may add that all the
money of all the parties added to all the SANDER
of editors could not intimldate him from declar-
ing his convictions.
For more than twenty years have been
earnest advocate of the principle of prohibition.
AS pastor of the First Methodist Church
in Topeka, I lectured. wrote, worked
and voted with others in 1880
on the comparison plan for the measure. This
method has one thing, at least, in it's favor-it
has been successfully employed in Eve States in
the Union. Why should you, protesting to seek
the same end by a method which has always
failed, rail at men because they will not ahan-
don certainties for experimental So doing. you
give just ground for the charge of lnslncerity
against yourself, ALLEVIATE those who ought to be
your friends, strengthen the hands of our enc
miles, and indefinitely POSTPONE the day of deliv-
erance from the mightiest foe of Christian
civilization. j. E. GILBERT
