PENNSYLVANIA PROHIRlTIoNlSTS.
A Good Convention and Platform That
Should Win.

A Good Convention and a Platform That
Should Win.
Tho Pennsylvania convention was an
immense succcss-the first time every
county was ever represented, $50 dele
gates beng present from every section
of the state. The following is synopsis
of the platform:
THAT the liquor traffic as the prolific
source of crime and lawlessneas should
be prohibited by laws faithfully ell
forced; that the party is unalterably op-
posed to any law that in any way legal
ICES, authorizes or toleratcs the traffic in
liquors as a beverages; that the Sabbath
must be preserved and properly observed;
that the platform of 1888 is indorsed;
that the Australian system of voting is
favored us insuring fair vote; that all
citizens, without distinction of Sex, race
or nationality, should have the power Of
the ballot upon such educational basis
as the legislature may deem wise for
their protection and the advancement of
the best interests of the state; that the
naturalization laws should be so amend
ed as to increase the number of years
residence before a foreign born citizen
can vote; that immigration laws relating
to labor contracts, paupers, ETC., should
be enforced; that combinations or
trusts which seek to advance the price
Of the commodities of life, or in any
way to interfere with the unrestricted
manufacturing interests of our country
by forced "close DOWNS" "lockouts,"
ETC., should be prohibited; that, while
we reiterate our allegiance to the policy
of protection to American industries and
labor, we favor the principle Of reciproc-
ity as a means of rescuing the agricult-
ural interest from its present depressed
and unremunerative condition; that the
party favors full and fair protection and
compensation to labor, arbitration as
the true method for adjusting disputes
between employer and employe, and
the use of educational funds solely for
educational purposes; and, lastly, that
we declare that the suppression of the
liquor traffic is the dominant political is
sue in nation and state, and we invite
all those who on this one issue are with
us to vote with the Prohibition party for
the complete destruction of the liquor
traffic"
Professor H. D. Patton is the chair
man of the state committee and will

How 1t AGected Iown

Before the passage of the original
package law at Washington the saloons
forced upon the unwilling people of Des
Moines called out the following graphic
description from The Des Moines Capital:
Hell is let loose, and the old fash
ioned crowd of blear eyed, black eyed,
bloody nosed, profane vagabonds is swell
ing business at the police courts into old
time proportions. The money that goes
into the United States saloons thou
sands and thousands of dollars fails to
reach the wife and children, fails to
cover their backs or the board, while the
big distillers or brewers are reaping q
harvest of wealth, and shout glory to
the six judges that gave man outside
the state the privilege of violating the
laws of the state to his hearts content
and poisoning the people,"

Prohibition in South Dakota.

Chief Justice Dighton Corson, of the
supreme court, has handed down a de-
cision that has been awaited with great
interest in all parts of the state, as it to-
tally does away with the sale of intoxi-
eating liquor. He affirms the constitu.
tionality of the stringent state law, and
gives our county courts full jurisdiction
to fine and imprison liquor sellers with
out the interference of grand juries or
other courts, making it final jurisdiction
in any such case. His decision was
made on a writ of habeas corpus in the
case of Robert Evans, an original pack
age dealer of this city, who was fined
500 with two months Imprisonment by
the county judge, and went before tho
supreme court on the writ on the ground
of no jurisdiction In the court below.

A Matrimonial Boom.
By G.. e. SANDIsON.
CHAPTER III.-Contiuued.


"My dear MAJOR" said Jack, "let me
say in behalf of my sisters that they are
greatly pleased with the very cordial
welcome you have given them. But
they are tired. no doubt, with their long
journey, and if you will kindly postpone
the introductions till they have a little
rest, they will then be glad to meet our
friends afterwards"
And as the sisters Withdrew a sturdy
note of the major could be distinctly
recognized.
They found "the parlors' wonderful
apartment. 1t had been transformed
for their especial benefit, and all the care
and elaboration of the major and his
faithful lieutenant Sim had been expend-
ed to make it comfortable and attractive.
Jack was obliged to confess that they
had succeeded amazingly.
During the afternoon both Lispenard
and Browning were besieged by at least
dozen of Redrock's "leading citizens"
for introductions to the girls. 1t began
to be a bore, and although Jack smiled
as he referred to it. Lispenard took u
more serious view of the case.
''See," said he, "these fellows are ae-
tually going to get up a serenade. The
settlement is wild. I'm afraid the girls
will be horribly worried before it's all
through"
That night before they slept the sis
ters wrote to Mrs. Browning at San
Francisco, telling all about their journey
and the wonderful reception at Redrocl
and how gallant the major had been to
Millie and how impressively attentive
the young English superintendent was t.
EN-. Indeed, they good humoredly hint
ed that both gentlemen had been so cor.
dial that had it not been for the fact that
Redrock recognized no conventional
forms, and that its society was little
chaotic, the writers woull have been
justified i'll regarding their attentions
as too pointed. All this and much more
to the same pleasant and trivial effect
they wrote. And, woman like, they did
not omit to mention in a postscript that
Jack was alive and well.
When the widow received the letters a
week later she was indignant.
"How selfish!' she exclaimed. ITO
think of nothing but Irritation, when
their poor brother might have been cold
in his grave. They must. be brought
home at once. And as they seem to be
SO forgetful Of their duty and the pro-
prieties, think it best to go and fetch
them myself"
A few days after reaching this deter
mination Mrs. Browning went by rail
to Prescott, where she took the stage for
Redrock Springs.

Ie HOt OHty OtuOOeFeu, ne OeHOCeU.
The weeks slipped away at the
Springs. EN- and Millie, under the
agreeable guidance of Cy Whipple, Lis
penard and Jack, had surveyed almost
the entire region, and seen all there was
to be seen on this side the Mogollons.
Mining was to them no longer q mystery,
and they showed a surprising interest
and aptitude in everything that related
to sluices, placers, pans, gravel, dredges
and all the other paraphernalia that COM
pose q miners equipment, Cy was, Of
course, an indispensable party In these
little excursions, and the girls saw much
of the tawny mustached Englishman.
The major, too, had his rig constantly
at their service, and allowed no one else
to hand the ladies in or help them out.
Still when young Whipple would come
around the major would obligingly
yield him seat by either lady. 1t was
clear, thought Cy, that the gallant vet
eran, while he might have been in
frame of mind to lose his heart, was not
yet quite decided to which charmer it
ought to go, and was letting things take
their course.
One perfect afternoon In early July,
just after the midday meal which the
Springs had not yet begun to dignity
with the name of lunch, the stage was
seen wheeling around the curve, just
east of Chino Gap, and on the top of the
rise. Long before the dust covered and
thirsty driver had pulled up in front of
the hotel piazza considerable group of
miners had gathered. The major, as
usual, stepped forward and opened the
door of the coach, while Sile held a col
ioquy from his box with the barkeeper.
"Only one passenger this trip, Sim,"
said he. "'Nother lady. tell ye, Red
rocks a-looking up. At this rate We'll
soon hear of you folks bein' incorporated
into city and runnin' the major for
guv'nor of the territory" he added, with
a chuckle
A pretty scream from the window of
"the parlors," wild fiutter of dresses
and responsive screech from the in
terror of the stage interrupted Sile and
made everybody look. The major had
but half opened the door when the occu-
pant of the coach Topped out and into
the arms of Millie. EN- was painting
close behind.
"Oh, mamma! Goodnessl Who ever
thought of seeing you here? However
did you come, and all alone, toow cried
the girls together in breath, "Jackp

piazza, "here's mammal
