A Creature of Law.

IF the aloon was not chartered by
the State every community would
proceed against it by law as nui-
sance and drive it out of existence,
but as long as the State is a partner
in the business it cannot be checked
much less abolished. People might
as well try to stop the East wind by
associations, lectures, sermons, pray.
els and moral suasion as the saloon.
The former is q creation of natural
law, the latter of State law. Hence
the law maker has alone power to
abolish the saloon, and the people in
their sovereign capacity mustlprovide
a set of law makers especially for
the purpose or it will never be done.
Whenever the State and Nation ceas.

traffic it will cease by being put
down every where by law. The
damage the public sustains from it
will then be made the grounds of
legal complaint. The only reason
the saloon has for existence is the
money it pays the state and nation.
If the receipt of that money was
stopped, the state and nation would
no longer have any interest in it,
and every individual who is injured
by the liquor business could proceed
by law against it as common nui-
sance. The question would then be
placed before the courts for an an

would be, No! The next question

be, "Does this business injure the

be an overwhelming Yea! The pub

The Political Craze.

Three more weeks Of the mad rout and the
canvass. of 1888 Will close to the relief of
every one, but till that time is consumed
the fierce contest will rage, growing more
furious as the ides of November are APP

passion and excitement run riot.
On Tuesday night the Rising Sun march,

other Harrison and Morton clubs at Oak
Hill, Lancaster county, where they held a
torchlight proc ssion and meeting which
was addressed by DR.. GatchelI and others.
At Rising Sun the Cleveland, Thurman
and Stump club held public meeting in
the town Hall which was packed with spec
tators. Addresses were made by Jas. T.
Graham of Liberty Grove and John S. Writ
of Elkton. Both speakers made sober,
earnest talks to the audience.
Mr.. Graham is quite pet Of his party
and the Octoraro and Basin Run folks are
justly proud of their youthful orator who is
a fine speaker and gives promise of more
than ordinary ability as an orator.
Mr.. Writ, in the course of his remarks
charged that Mr.. Blaine was the central
figure of his party and commander in chief
in the present campaign, that General Har-
rison was merely the figure head or words
to this effect, and that such an anomalous

was in error-even admitting his statement
to be true-which will not be admitted BY
by the Republicans. In the campaign which
carried the Generals grandfather into the
White House, Henry Clay was not only the
inspiration and director of that contest but
it was the proud boast of the Wing party
that he was the embodiment of the party.
All the illuminated minds of the Wing
party looked upon the old man, VIM. Henry
Harrison as but figure head. Whether
history will repeat itself in the popular vote
remains to be seen.
The Republican, held a county mass
meeting at Elkton yesterday afternoon and
evening which was to be addressed by able
speakers, which, however, occurs too late
in the week to give an account of in our
present issue.
AT the close of meeting in the Hall on
Tuesday eveing, it was announced that the
Democrats would hold mass meeting at
Rising Sun on Tuesday next in the after
noon and evening, and among the speakers
would be U. 8. Senator Wilson of the
Eastern Shore, and Herman Stump, Dem.

meeting will assemble of course, if the

THE SAVAGE WAY.
How the Indian Treats an Injury
Old Time Methods.

The savage is emphatically the child
OF nature. He lives close to nature,
his onl y'education is gained in natu-
res school.

he does not seek a cure in mineral
poisons, but binds on the simple leaf

natural recovery.
Our rugged ancestors, who pierced
the wilderness, built their uncouth
but comfortable Log Cabins and started
the clearings in the woods, which i'm
time became the broad, fertile fields of
the modern farmer, found in roots aud
herbs that lay close at hand natures
potent remedies for old "saddl e. bagsn
with his physic, which quite as often
killed as cured.
Latter day society has wandered too
Iar away from nature, in every way,
for Its own good. Our grandfathers
and grandmOthers lived wholesCmer,
purer, better healthier, more natural
lives than we do. Their minds were
not filled with noxious isms, nor their
bodies saturated with poisonous drugs
Is it not time to make change, to
return to the simple vegetable prepara-
tons of our grandmOthers, which con
tanned the power and potency of nature
as remedial agents, and in all the or
iinary ailments were efficacious, at
least harmless?
The proprietors of Warmers Log
Cabin remedies have thought so, and
have put on the market a number of
these pure vegetable preparations,
made from formulas secured after patti
ent searching into the annals OF the
past, so that those who want them
need not be without them.
Among these Log Cabin remedies
will be found "Log Cabin hops and
buchu remedy."a tonic and stomach
remedy;"L Cabin cough and consum-
ption remedy" Log Cabin hair tonic
Log Caoin extract" for both external
and internal application; LOG Cabin
liver pills." LOG Cabin rose cream"
an old but affective remedy for catarrh.
and Log Cabin plasters." All these
remedies are carefully prepared from
recipes which were found, after long
Investigation, to have been those most
successfully used by our grandmothers

pie, vegetable, efficacious remedies of
Log Cabin days.

Most of the other operators stand better

they should, is not easily stated. Most of
them do not drink as much rum as he does,
for most of them have not the cast iron con-

possesses, and further have not the money
and sharpness to get their run for nothing

profit on the liquor they sell to others TO

Egging the Prohibltionists.

public meetings. Their papers pub,

opponents probably find is easier
than answering their arguments.
The old abolitionists were served in
the same manner but it didn't refute
their arguments or diminish their
numbers. The intelligence and con
science of the nineteenth century
were enlisted on their side through
out the whole Christian world, and

result will be the same in either case.
Moral forces are not destroyed by
eggs and stones and ribald abuse.
Those who affect to despise and mis-
represent the motives of the Prohi-
bitionists, are only temperance men

WON BY A cow.
She Eats Some Hay Just in Time to Win
$500,00O for Poor Farmer.

OLEAN, n. Y, April A-In September 1871,
Griffith Jones, a farmer of Forestport, Oneida
county. purchased at q tax sale tract Of $50
acres of land in the town of Allegany Cattaraugus
county. The tract was wild and barren, in an
isolated region, and its owner. James Hill, had
ceased paying taxes on it and had removed from
it. Jones, who was man of limited means,
paid $3.50 for the property, but after visiting it
he concluded that it was not worth putting any
more money in, and he paid more attention
to the purchase beyond securing his tax deed on
the 23d of September. 1873. two years after the
date of purchase which gave him legal title to
the land. In 1879 petroleum was discovered in
Allegany. Hill assumed control again of the
tract he had abandoned. and transferred it to
the Bradford Oil Company. This
and it proved to be a valuable and
large producer Of OIL Jones was ignorant of
the sudden great value the tract he held the
til $780, when it had yielded more than $500, 900
worth of oil, and was still great producer
Jones brought suit against the oil company in
the Cattarau9us County Court to regain pos
session of the tract and for accounting for
the oil that had been taken from it and sold for
the profit of the company. The company dis
puted Joness title to the property in the clause
in the tax sale law in New York State which
makes a tax deed invalid If the purchaser does
serve on the occupant of premises bought at
tax sale notice to redeem the within two
years. The oil company asserted that Hill was
occupying the premises wnen the deed was
passed to Jones, and received no redemption
notice within the required time. Snd the occu-
pancy was claimed as the novel point of law
that although Hill was not living or the tract,
he had left quantity of hay in a shanty on the
place when he moved off of it, which gave him
legal domcile.
This the entire defense to the suit. and
the Cattaraugus court decided that if the sim pie
fact of there being hay the place, claimed,
could be established, it would be ample proof
of occupancy in law, and would destroy Jones's
title to the property. The trial resulted in fa-
of the oil company in 1882. A new trial
was granted. and Jones proved by six witnesses
that on the 22d of September. 1873. day be-
fore be became entitled to the property under
the tax deed. Hills cow had entered the shanty
and eaten all the hay that Hill left there. thus
depriving Hill of legal domicie, and leaving no
one in occupancy of the premises on whom
demption notice could be served. By that act of
Hills Jones's title TO the property
tablshed, and Jones obtained verdict for
accounting for the oil, which amounted to near
ly $500, 600.
The oil company obtained an order for
trial. but Jones again snccessful. and his
judgment was affirmed by the General Term.
and decision has just been given by the Court
of Appeals sustaining all the points in the case
in favor of Jones.
