The proposition to submit to the

on Monday from the Committee on
Education. The proposed amend

and sale of all alcoholic liquors as a
beverage shall be and hereby is for
ever prohibited in the United States,
and in every place subject 20 their
jurisdiction.

English Approval.

From London Times.
at would hardly be possible to put
the free.trade case more clearly or
more strongly. The arguments
which President Cleveland uses are
those which Mr.. Golden used to
employ forty-fve years ago, and
which any free trader would employ
now They are purely free-trade ar
gumeuts, and as such we are very
glad to see Mr.. Cleveland using them
though sorry for the popular infatua-
tion which makes it dangerous to
give them their right name"
From London News
"He discusses the principles at is-
sue in the struggle aud shows that he
is q free trade candidate in everything
but name. The reservation is an i'm.
portant one for American party pur-
poses. The President feels compelled
to characterize the attempt to brand
him free trader as deception of bis
enemies. For all that, the electoral
conflict now in progress is a conflict
between freetrade aud protection, and
nothing more"

bitioun by "A German | DO not doubt

that the liz Iur traffic and the conse-
quent ruin aud Woe are kept in But

even cur alien Judge could foist this

with the fact that Lutheran

The latest theses of the Luthera n
Church on Prohibition are very
properly produced as the position of
the Church on the question. In these
it is claimed that they cannot partici-
pate in the present temperance move
ment
because it does not distinguish between
the a6use and use of the creature"
This raises a very difficult question
which has presented itself to every
honest temperance advocate. As
Prohibitiouists we have solved the
question, and now the Lutheran
Church finds fault with our solution.
1t therefore seems to me to be their
duty to explain the matter fully and
show US where we err. Where
does the proper use OF iatox;cat-

Oil--"BullS and Bears. -

There is continual struggle and tus.
sic between the "bulls" and the
"bears" as to control of the oil mar
ket. The first is interested in push
ing up the market, the latter in
squeezing it down. They are both
speculative and profit as they succeed.
Frequently they put on their boxing
gloves and come in Gerce collision.
The bears lately have seemed to
knock the bulls out and lower the
market, Every new strike or new
"gusher" helps them. This was the
ease when the Saxonburg, the Bakers
town, and now when the Whitmire
field comes around. The "shut down"
movement don't seem to affect the
market much. But just now it looks
as if oil was to advance and the bulls
again be on top. The market is im-
proving.
At tie new Whitmire field, in old
Greece City neighborhood, the wells
down are holding out good, and new
ones are going down. A town, or
city" is being laid out by the farm
owner, Mr. Jacob Whitmire, to be
known as Whitmire City. The terri
tory is promising and the wells are
said to average about so barrels per
day.
At the Gold well, Middlesex twp,
drilling has been resumed and while
the news is conflicting yet is flows at
the rate of 25 barrels, according to
latest information. This, as also the
Calhoun well, Montgomery farm, is
within what is known as the Bakers.
town field, where there is active leas-
ing and active work going on. What
NAV be the value aud outcome of this
field Will soon be known.
Reibold still leads in production
any of the fields of this county. But
the whole Southern end of the county
is being leased, particularly from Sax
onburg, south and west, and any day
may surprise US with new "gusher"
here or there in some of the maay
new ventures.
GreenIee and Co., are drilling near
Greece City.
Brown, Campbell and Co, got no
oil in the hundred-foot, at their we'll
near Bovdstown and are drilling to

Everybody is partial to sugar.

II sweet. But only about the tenth
mart that is used by us in the United
States 10 grown or made in the Uni
ted States. Most all of this tenth
part, Of cane sugar, is made in the
State of Louisiana, or the extreme
southern parts of country. They
there want protection for it. by tar
in. against the Cuban and foreign i'm
portstious of sugar. Heretofore they
have received tariff protection. by
bills framed by the Republicans, in
Congress. But now comes a rather
amusing scene to the Republicans
and Q perplexing one to the Demo.
Gratis. They now have a majority
in Congress, and from Cleveland
down have declared in favor Of taking
Oh or low-ring the tariff ON all arti-
cles of food or clothing that we do not
or cannot grow or produce in this
country. This il the mistaken prin-
chile Of their Mills bill But Louisi.
ana is . Democratic State and bel
sugar makers demand the usual pro.
lection, by . tariff on foreign sugar.
To grant it will be inconsistent with
their avowed principles. But it wont
do to offend q Democratic State and
hence the tariff on sugar is retained
In the Mills bill. When this item in
the bill was recently under discussion
in Congress the Republican members
twitted the Democrats, by asking
them the difference in principle. be-
tween the sugar growing of Louisia-
m and the wool growing of Ohio.
Here was q dilemma for the Demo-
Gratis. And this sugar article illus
trates the fallacy of their whole doc
trine Of free trade. iii it is right, as
it is, to protect the sugar interest OF
Louisiana from being destroyed by
foreign importation, then it is right

applies to all our other industries

featuring. and everything else thai
we can grow or raise. And nothing
in modern times is more absurd o.
suicidal than the position the Demo
Gratis have taken on the tariff quss-

The Democratic Woodchuck
Hunt.

The explanation the boy gave for
digging so zealously at woodchuck
hole. that the minister was coming
to dinner and the family was out of
meat, has been used TO give point to
good many arguments. 1t was
never used with more effect, however
than it can be to illustrate the embar-
RAISING situation the Democratic or.
gans have been in since the Republi
can presidential nomination was made.
The need of campaign "meat" was
apparent as soon as the telegraph an
nounced the composition of the ticket
and hot hunt was at once begun in
every Democratic newspaper Office
for any sign of woodchuck
The record Of General Harrison on
the Chinese question appeared to
offer the best prospect of fpding
woodchuck, and accordingly the fam
isbed Democrats went for that wood
chuck hole with zeal that put to
shame the boy whose household was
out of meat. Spades, shoyels. picks
and muck rakes were hastily seized
and a concerted attack begun. For
time the fresh earth flew merrily and
the workers were encouraged by what
they thought was whisk of the
woodchuck's tail or a CLEAN Of pair
of ferret-like eyes. But no woodchuck
could be found and they were grow
ing weary when they heard a merry
laugh from over the Rocky Mount
aims, and voice say: ''No wood
chuck in that hole, boys. We're en-.
tirely satisfied with Harrison's record
No use digging any longer"
So the excavation around the Chi.
Dese aperture was hastily abandoned
and the whole woodchuck hunting
crowd rushed pell-mell for another
hole which a jealous Democrat with
muck rake had uncovered This
time the woodchuck was going 10 be
the record Harrison made during the
labor strikes of 1886 1t was decided
to proceed more deliberately, as the
tracks around the hole looked fresh,
and now success with proper caution
appeared certain.
After learnedly discussing just
how woodchuck dug their holes and
in what direction this one had prob
ably burrowed, they stationed frisky
editor at the mouth with bag and
begun to dig. But only three show
elsful of ground had been thrown up
when they heard a loud "haIloo, "
and. looking up, there stood "Joe''
Mcdonald with both elbows resting
on the top rail of fence and a hand
on each side of his mouth "There
isn't any woodchuck in that hole, y
he shouted, land if there was it would
be just as much Democratic wood.
chuck as Republican woodchuck.
For stood by Ben Harrison in the
labor troubles of 1886 and approve
everything he did"
With a weary and disgnsted air
the Democratic hunters turned away
from their latest search, and as there
were no more woodchuck holes in
sight they sat down under tree to
rest They are sitting there still,
contemplating ruefullv their blistered
hands and wiping the perspiration
from their brows with English made
bandanas. They are aware that elec
ton is coming just as certainly as the
minister was coming to the boys
house, but what the Democratic fam.
lily is going to do for meat they don'i
know. There is only one piece o.
advice that can be given them and
that is this: When you dig for wood
