THE Non-Partisan w. C. T. L. held
their first National Convention in Cleve-
land last week and perfected an organi-
zation by adopting constitution and
electing Mrs. E. J. Phinney, of Cleve-
land, President. The new body starts out
auspiciously, eleven States being repre-
sente1 by delegates and many others
being heard from by letter and telegram.
The platform of the organization is un-
compromising hostility to intemperance
and waging war against the evil along
all non n-partisan lines. The field of labor
is broad and no antagonism will be
offered t, any forces now in the field.
A healthy and earnest spirit in the work
was feature of the meeting and the
non-partisan organization starts with the
best wishes and God-speeds of the people.

Representative McKelvey's joint reso-

of the Legislature shall continue till al
business is transacted and then adjourn
sine die is good one, but there is little
likelihood that the Democratic majority

THE MYSTERY CLEARED.
The Deoomposed and Swollen Body OF
Banker Ditman Found Floating
in the Schuylkill.

LII Glo DCuuy 1hlll'
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 27.-The decom-
posed and swollen body of Banker
Joseph &. Ditman. who has been missing
since Dec. II, was found floating in the
vania railroad bridge which crosses the
river at Filbert street. When the news
spread throughout the city an enormous
crowd of people gathered on the banks
of the stream and gazed with curiosity
at the body as it fioated in the water,
moored to wharf.
The body was taken on board police
tug and search of the clothing settled
the question of identity. The gold
watch and diamond ring worn by Mr..
Ditman when last seen alive were found.
and small amount of money, some
papers ami card which requested in
the event of accidental death that the
finder of his body notify James Pitcher,
secretary of the Mutual Accident as
sociation, 302 Broadway, New York.
The card indicated that deceased was
insured for 5000 in that association.
Mr. Ditman, on the afternoon of Dec
II, started out for his daily drive in
Paramount park, and about dusk his de-
serted carriage was found in the park
with the reins broken and other apparent
indications of a runaway accident.
Marks of carriage wheels on the bank of
the Schuylkill led to the belief that MIR.
Ditman was thrown from his carriage
into the river.
For several weeks a large number of
men were engaged in dragging the river,
but all efforts to raise the body proved
unavailing. There were no marks of
violence on the body when found yester-
day, and whether Mr.. Ditman's death
was due to accident or suicide will prob
ably never be known. At the time OF
his disappearance Mr.. Ditman was presi-
dent of the Quaker City National bank
and large shareholder in the Shaw
Music Publishing company.

THIRTY years ago the people of
the South could not get enough ne
groes; she could not produce them fast
enough to satisfy the demand. Now
she wants to get rid of her stock. She
thinks she has too many, and she wants
to ship them. Then she bought and
sold them; they counted in the con-
gressional apportionment and could not
vote. This Just suited the "SC uthern
gentlemen, sah." Now they are no
longer bondmen. They are guaranteed
the rights of citizens, and are becoming
troublesome to the Southern leaders be-
cause they have the audacity to want to
vote. They are handy to have about
while the census is beingtaken, but should
be transported as soon as that is done.
Thus says Senator Butler, or such we
would infer from his actions. The
South brought the negroes there, and
used them while they could do so with
out rendering compensation. Humani-
ty and enlightenment put the negro on
a higher plane. If the presence of the
negro is bane, she is but suffering for
her own misdeeds, and the unhung
traitors of the South should be made to
feel the effect of it. If the South were
half as persistent in letting the negroes
alone as she is in shooting and killing
them, the negro problem would be
solved in very short time. Give the
negro his rights and treat him like
man. No people respond more quickly
to kindness and fair dealing Senator
ingalls, extracts of whose speech is
printed on the first page of this paper
speaks for justice, and the North must
see to it that Justice is rendered.

THE scHooL-BooK QUESTION.

Elyria Republican.
The matter of authorizing the State to
go into the business of publishing school
books will undoubtedly come up again
this winter and it should be cautiously
considered. The avowed object of the
friends of the new departure is to secure
cheaper school books. If this can be
done without injury to the character OF
the book it would be worthy of trial
But if the cheaper book is of an inferior
character, loss instead of gain, will in
evitably result Let us look a. it prac-
tically. The State can not publish a
single book now in use, for all interests
are secured by copyright. The present
text books are the result of years of study
and improvement by our best educators,
and it is not reasonable to expect new
series to attain the same perfection until
after years of trial. Here then is loss
on the quality of the books that can not
be estimated, while the gain in cost
through Stale publication is doubtful
problem. Indiana is trying the new ex-
pertinent, and the Ohio Educational
Monthly says the complaints are coming
in thick and fast both against the matter
of the books and the manner in which
they printed and bound. Under State
supervision there is danger of all manner
of frauds and cheats by the contractors
as all well know. The Republican would
like to see school books furnished at as
cheap rate as possible, and at the same
time it is unwilling to ieopardize the quail
ity of the books for the sake of paltry gain
in their cost. This question will bear
discussion and it should be carefully con
sidered before any legislative action is
taken. The educators of Ohio are GER
tainly good parties to counsel and their
Judgment should have great weight.
