The Hon. Will Cumback, of Indiana, is a
practical business man, a keen observer.
and an original thinker. All this was evil
dent yesterday as he stood upon the plat
form in the presence of q large audience,
and delivered his lecture on The Common
Man." And more than this, it was evident
ure. He had made a study of the common
man, his character, his environment, his
needs; and he had thought out difficulties
and their remedies. With the courage of
his convictions he presented plain truths,
and with a style of delivery and a felicity
of rhetoric which held his hearers to the
close.

THE PENNSYLVANIA PRoH1BIroRY LEAGUE

DR.. A. j. Kynett, founder and presi-
dent of the Union Prohibitory League
of Pennsylvania, reports more than
10000 members, and every mail brings
new accessions The league seeks pro-
hibitiOn, but, as that is evidently not at
tainable at present in Pennsylvania, it
proposes to amend the Brooks law or
enact some more stringent law. The
late decision of the Supreme Court has
greatly intensified the feeling of the
anti-salOOn men of that State. A con-
vention has been called for Sept. 20,
which promises to be largely attended.
The movement meets with no opposition,
except from the saloon and the would be
leaders of the Prohibition party. The
saloons see in it an organization which
threatens their early overthrow, and the
latter see the blasting of their hopes that
the decision of the Supreme Court would
drive a great many into their fold, and,
being more intent on defeating the Re-
publican party than securing better
laws, they oppose it. The principal
feature of the league is that where all
candidates are opposed to the saloon,
and will do the best thing possible to re-
strain or 60 prohibit it, then every mem
Der will stick to his party; if any one
candidate is better than his opponent,
then all the members of the league will
vote for him, regardless of party; but
where no candidate is favorable, the
league will nominate one that is and
vote for him, but in no case seek to
build up any party. In almost every
particular this league is identical inpur-
pose with the order of the knights OF
the Home in Indiana, promising young
organization, of which Mr.. f. G.. Cornell
JUS, of this city, is president, and which
can become as formidable as the Penn
sylvania organization.

THE saloOn-keepers of Cincinnati have
very generally taken the advice of the
Southwest and abandoned their defiance
of law. They discovered that their

Cincinnati press as day of quiet and
order. Very few saloons were open, and
not more than adozen arrests were made.
