A DEMOCRAT.

The political Prohibitionists held
their State Convention at Harrls~
burg on the 28th of Aug. Fifty
four out of the sixty>six counties Of
the State were represented.
The convention resolved; "That
the defeat Of the constitutional
amendment on the 18th Of June,
1889 was secured through the sup
port given to the advocates of the
leeafzation Of the liquor traffic by
tue leaders and leading newspapers
of the Republican and Democratic
parties "
r.. Johnston Of Pittsburg, was
nominated for State Treasurer.
The Finance Committee was
directed 10 solicit fund Tor the con-
duct of an active campaign.
It will be observed that this con
vention represents especially the par
tisan or Third Party Prohibitionists,
who refuse to affiliate in any mau-
ner with any other political party in
the support Of It's nominees, without
reference to their standing on the
question Of temperance.
There is still another organiza~
ton known as the Prohibition Lea
que, which Processes to be non-
partisan, and embraces perhaps, the
more practical temperance elements,
that proposes to give its support to
such of the candidates of other
parties Us are known to be in sym
pathy with the temperance cause,
and to reject and oppose oil candi-
dates who are known TO he opposed
TO more stringent restriction Of the
liquor traffic.
Outside Of both these organize
tions there are thousands of ardent
temperance men in both The Re.
publican aud Democratic parties
especially in tho Republican party
who refuse to serve their utilization
to become members OF either Of the
before mentioned exclusive organ
izations.
The brief statement win explain
fairly rs we believe, the status OF
the temperance issue as it is presen-
ted in the present, and is likely tc
be presented in future campaigns
Every voter will calmly consider the
subject and determine where duty
lies and govern his action in accord
ance with his convictions.

A Unique Plant.

The gradual extinction of a species Is
not an uncommon phenomenon. In
most cases many individuals of the van
ishing species are known to exist. One
plant, however, seems to be perfectly
alone in the world-the last of it's race.
This unique specimen is on the island of
st. Helena 1t is tree about twenty
feet high, and its botanical name is
Psiadia rotundifolia. Formerly this spe-
cies seems to have been common on the
island, forming large groves, but the
woodlands AK and the ravages of goats
have left only this single specimen. 1t
is unique in another respect and of great
botanical interest, for it bears flowers
like those of the aster, being, in fact,
the only known tree of the composite,
family which, with this exception, COM
prises only herbaceous plants. 1t is to
be hoped that an attempt will be made
to propagate the species from the seed Of
this plant.-Die Gartenlaube.

In 1879 he projected series of sketch

himself by drawings in colored pastels
ON a large canvas. These lectures were
delivered in all the principal institutes
of England and Scotland. His last lect.

berg and Paris, where he studied history,
philosophy and jurisprudence. Il
After the assassination of Michael
Obrenowitsch Ristitsch conducted the
government until Prince Milan reached
his majority. 1t was he who superin-
tended the education of the young
prince, who was then not quite IA
years old. In the spring Of 1878 Ris-
titsch became prime minister and de-
veloped great activity in achieving the
national wishes of Servia. He was a
decided adherent of Russia, and con-
vinced that only under the influence of
that power it was possible for Servia to
reach the goal. Marinowitsch, the leader
of the opposition, conducted different
policy, seeking to draw Prince Milan
into friendship with Austria and Turkey,
in which he succeeded; in consequence
thereof, Prince Milan having been re.
ceived with open arms in Vienna and
Constantinople, Ristitsch was compelled
to resign.
But hardly three years had passed ere
Russian influence was ascendant again
in Servia, inducing Prince Milan to de-
clare war against Turkey as a, prepare
ton for Russia's further Vaccinations in
shaping the political relations of the
Balkan peninsula. This change took
place when Ristitsch became prime min
lister again and brought many bitter ex-
periences for Servia Defeated in several
important battles Servia seemed to have
arrived at the end of it's existence as
separate state, until the fall of Plevna
changed the fortunes of war for Servia
and the treaty of Berlin created its indie
pendence, and withal increased its terri
tory to a considerable extent. On the
10Th of October, 1880, Ristitsch ceased to
be prime minister and Austrian influence
became so strong that under its protec-
ton Servia could be raised to the state of
a kingdom.

in England, did more to popularize the
study of natural history than any

Capital Punishment Law.

ST. PAUL, April 25.-The state legisla-
ture has passed a capital punishment law.
Under its provisions the prisoner
is to be kept in solitary oonfine-
ment, and see no one but his family, his
lawyers and his spiritual advisers. He is
to be executed before sunrise, and may
invite three persons to be present. The
sheriff invites six persons besides a sur
geon. 1t is made misdemeanor for any
newspaper to publish anything more
about the execution than the mere fact.

The Carpenters.

ST.. LOUIS, April 25.-Ata large meeting
of striking carpenters this noon the propo-
sition to return to work for those bosses
who have agreed to the eight-hour day
system and to pay 35 cents per hour
wages was put to vote and carried by a
large majority. This practically ends the
strike, as in all likelihood all bosses will
recognize these terms. The question of
formally recognizing the Brotherhood of
Carpenters stands as it did before, the
bosses not having yielded that point.

Special to the Statesman.
GALVESTON, April 25.-The past week
has been warmer than usual except along
the gulf coast where the tenn perature for
the week ranged from two to four degrees
below the average.
The rainfall has been deficient except
in the central portion of the state where
in some localities it has been largely in
excess. Light showers are reported from
nearly all points in the state but in some
localities they were SO poorly distributed
that they resulted in but little good.
Weather during the week has been gen.
ally favorable for growing crops, except
ing few localities where more sun
shine is needed.
The outlook for the wheat crop is ex-
cellent except in a few localities where
rust is reported on the blade and stalk,
although but little danger is a pretended d.
Oats and forage crops are growing ra D.
idly. The cotton crop is not all in the
ground yet, but that which is up is being

An Engine In the Bay.

Special to the Statesman
GALVESTON, April 25.-About 5 O'Clock
this evening switch engine of the Inter
national and Great Northern railway
jumped the switch just west Of the Union
depot and plunged into the slip. As the
engine left the track the coupling between
it and the tender parted, leaving the latter
hanging on the edge of the trestling. The
fireman escaped by running back on the
tender. The engineer, however, went
down with the engine, and narrowly es-
capped suffocation in the mud and water of
the slip. He was speedily extricated un-
injured, with the exception of slight
scslds on the face and hands from escsp
ing steam. The engine is complete
wreck and partially buried in the mud and
water of the slip.
