with itand Foster pleaded guilty. To hide
this fact as much as possible the Republicans
have shrieked themselves lhoarse calling Mr..

something they could twistinto seeming evl-

Not only that, they were forced to reluctantly
admit that his canvass was clean, not even

California is beginning to outstrip
Spain in the production of raisins. Con-
sui Marston, of Malaga, indeed, makes
the significant statement that the Span
ish vinedressers who have suffered Of
late years from the phylloxera have re-
placed vines that have been destroyed
by American stock. In 1882 the crop
Of raisins produced in Malaga reached
100000 boxes, of which there were
shipped to the United States nearly
100000 boxes. Since that time ship
ments to the United States have been
gradually but steadily decreasing. In
1888, when the total production amount
ed to about 700, 1000 boxes, only 49, 900
were exported to this country. Mr..
Marston adds that many Spaniards pre-
dict that the vintage of 1889 will reduce
still further the purchases made for ex-
portation to the United States, and mat
in few years Malaga raisins will be re-
placed even for consumption in Spain by
those produced in California.-Brad'

Gov. Campbell in his message favors
home rule, and therefore recommends the
repeal of the law which gives the Governor
the power to appoint boards to rule over our
cities. He wants the people to select their
own rulers. He also favors non-partisan
election boards, but disapproves taking the
right away from these boards of selecting
their own clerks. The Governor has much
to say concerning ballot reform, and fayors
the Australian SYSTEM" so regulated as to
conform TO our State government and the in
terests of all citizens. His suggestions in
this respect are all timely and will demand
much attention from all classes. He thinks
the office of commissioner of railroads and
telegraphs has been more ornamental than
useful, and says unless the Office is made one
of more efficiency and power it might as we'll
be abolished. Other suggestions are offered
upon important subjects, in fact the message
is full meat, and will truly bear a careful
reading by all citizens. It is the, most
statesmanlike paper that has eminated from
Governor of Ohio for many years.

POPULATION OF HE'LL.
A Mathematical Calculation of the
r- Number of Lost Souls.

i- Number or Lost SOUS.
In round numbers the earth has
population of / 300, ,000,00 of whom
800, ,O00, 900 are professed Christians, the
other, l,00O, ,00O, 200 being Moham-
medans, Buddhists, Jews, pagans and
heather. The whole race was con-
demned to eternal punishment for the
sin of Adam. This was the fall of man,
from which there was and is no re-
demption save through the death OF
Christ.
Biblical chronology gives the earth
period of about 6, 200 years. From
Adams time to Christ was 900 years,
during which period no human souls
were saved. Thespopulation may then
have averaged 1000, ,00O,O Three
generations, or 1000, ,O0O, 900, pass away
In each century. Forty centuries,
therefore, consigned 100, ,000, ,000, 900 men
to eternal fire, and for all We know,
they are there now. j.,........ ,,.
In the 1900 years which have elapsed
since the, birth of Christ $1,000, ,000, ,OOC
more of human beings have lived and
died. If all the Christians, nominal
and real, who have ever lived on, tht
face of the earth have been saved they
| would not number more than 5000,
600, 600. i'l'i lA 'H. re- D.. %
Now, five deduct this latter mum
ber from the grand total of III 900, 900,
900, we find 159 ,00O, 100000 ofsouls who
are suffering the torments of hell fire, al
against the ei8, 900, 900, 900 who have es
capped. But this is not the whole truth
Nobody believes that more than 10 pei
cent. of the professed Christians are
saved. Calvanists themselves say that
the elect are few. If this is fact

MAKING ELEcTRIoITY SAFE.
A Wonderful Invention If the Claims
Made Be True.

ERIE, Pa, January Electricians
in this section of the State were invited
by Superintendent Jacob Pfetch, of the
Erie Motor Car Company, to witness a
test of personal Insulation yesterday.
Pfetch, alarmed at the fatalities in New
York and elsewhere, studied day and
night to arrest the danger lying in the
overcharged wire. He fortified him
self and taking hold Of the buzz rod of
the dynamos ii his bare hands, which
he had dipped in water, he then stepped
upon a pile of wet dirt and received the
full charge, over 500 volts, the force
used to operate about ten miles of road.
To the surprise of everyone the electric
ity did not ground and the superintend-
ent felt no effects whatever. The in
vention is secret to himself and upon
which & oheo will apply for a patent at
once. The insulation enables linemen
and others, to handle, any wire with
safety and is an absolute protection.
