Use. of Old English Gravestone..

Old grave slabs are sometimes to be seen
used up in our old churches in an odd
manner, showing that our forefathers, in
these instances at least, had but small re-
gard for relics Of the kind. There was one
fine slab, with handsome cross incised
upon it, observed cut into lengths and
made into a water table, to throw off the
rain on the roof of Alnwick church. An
other in the same edifice may be seen made
into the Intel of clerestory window. In
the south aisle of Morpeth church another
is made into q Intel.
In Middleton church, Teesdale. there is
smother example of similar economy. A
portion Of the shaft Of a cross carved with
Saxon ornament was made into the stem
of font, dated 1854 in Rothbury church.
In this way many fragments have been
handed down to us that might otherwise
have disappeared Observation-Disclosures

The old sources of supply of phosphate,
South Carolina, Canada and the West
Indies, have probably all reached the point
of maximum production, and it is to
Florida that the world must look for its
increasing wants. What untold riches lie
under the soil of the Peninsula State may
be imagined from the fact that one of its
richest tracts of phosphate land is 1000
miles square. Over most of this land the
thickness of the deposit varies from three
to thirty feet or more, the average being
about ten feet.
A cubic yard of the crude stuff will wash
out from GOO pounds to half a ton of clean,
dry nodules, and a recent survey has Civ
en- the contents of a single section of land
GAO acres) at 100000 tons. An acre of
phosphate land, if the deposit be only three
feet deep, will contain 4.s40 cubic yards OF
stratum, yielding I,6O0 or 1900 tons OF
clear phosphate nodules.-New York Tele-

Across the Arctic Ocean at Two Miles Day

The objects from the Jeanette drifted
in three years from the New Siberian
islands to the west coast of Greenland. If
we assume that they required one year for
the drift southwark from latitude so degs
north, on the east coast of Greenland, only
two years remain for the rest of the jour
ney, and this requires speed of no more
than two nautical miles in every twenty
four hours. This does not seem too high a
rate when we remember that the Jeanette
drifted at the same speed during the last
half year of her drifting, and that in the
last days before she sank she drifted at a
much higher speed, which sometimes
reached even eight nautical miles every
twenty-four hours. 1t cannot therefore be
considered improbable that We should
reach open water on this side of the pole
within two years after our start from the
Siberian side, and if we take provisions for
five years we may consider that we have
an ample margin.-Dr. Fridtjof Nansen in
Forum.

temperance, Of law and order, anC
the embodiment of the moral seRti
ment Of the state. During the cam
paign last year it was insisted that
the question Of prohibition was the
one great issue before the people
The Peoples party was loudly con-
demned because it insisted upon con-
Quoting the campaign upon other
issues. When the industrial con-
ference which assembled at Gin
cinnati on the 18th Of May still de-
clined to permit the great economic
questions so important to the interests
of the people to be overshadowed by
that of prohibition, the wall of Kan
sas Republicans was both loud and
long, and the degeneracy of the Peo-
ple's party was assumed to be fully
established.
We do not propose at this time to
undertake any discussion of the
question of prohibition. What we
do propose to do is to revive q little
history exhibiting the relation of the
Republican party to the whiskey in
terests of this country. The hypoc-
risy Of the leaders of the party has
been fully shown heretofore by Gov
ernor Humphreys appointments Of
police commissioners in cities of this
state who were known to be opposed
to the enforcement of the laws, and
who have, during his entire term Of
Office, regularly licensed the liquor
traffic; and by the further fact that
Republican journals that have been
loudest in their pretensions in favor
of prohibition, have not only remained
silent respecting this prostitution of
official position, but have sustained
him in all his official acts, not ex-
cepting his inexcusable pardoning of
criminals convicted and sentenced for
violation of the laws.
It Is the purpose Of this article to
show that in national politics, the
Republican party and the distillers
and various liquor interests Of the
country have long been allies for the
perpetuation Of that party in power.
The proofs of this unholy alliance are
positive and absolutely incontrovert-
able; and to these we now invite the
attention of our readers. For the
facts to be first presented we are in
debted to the LeUer Monthly of June
1883, from which we derive the fol-
lowing:
Prior to 1851 the liquor interest was not a
factor in the politics of this country. It
first asserted itself as an organized, ag-
gressive force during that year.
In 1851 the first convention of liquor men
which ever assembled in this country met
in New York City. That convention was
composed Of the leading liquor makers and
sellers in that city and resulted in politi-
cal organization.
In their resolutions,
speeches and declarations, the members
vigorously avowed their purpose to be ''to
resist the enforcement, secure the repeal,
The advocate., 1891-08-05

after which it was shared by the dis
tillers and government officials whose
position had been secured by it's use.
Gen. John Mcdonald, the supervisor
of the district consisting of Missouri,
Arkansas, Kansas, Indian Territory
and New Mexico, who was convicted
and imprisoned for completely in
these frauds, says:
The original intention of the organizers,
adopting suggestions from the highest
authority in the land, was to make the ring
CO-extensive with the nation, with head
quarters in all the large cities, for the pur-
pose of raising campaign fund.
How the design to enlarge the ring
and make it "co-extenbive with the
nation" was carried out, is told by
Mr.. VIM. Grosvenor as follows:
More than one distiller has told me how
he was induced to contribute, and how, if he
objected to fraud, he was forced to choose
between participation in the ring or bank
ruptCy. Col. Ford was at that time COL
lectOr, and Mr.. ConCannon, who has since
made his peace with the government by
testifying, ! believe, was deputy in the col
leCtOr's Office. If distillers or rectiiers de-
clined to act with the ring, care was taken
first TO entrap them in some technical
violation of the law, which by pre-arrange-
ment among officials, was detected at once
in some cases before the distillers or recti-
fiers had time to discover that the ''crooked"
stuff was on their premises. Then their es-
Establishments were seized and they we're
told to see Mr.. Ford. When they saw Mr..
Ford they were told to go to COncannon.
When they went to COncannOn they were
told that there was little difficulty, which
they could arrange by seeing John Lesvsn-
worth. When Leavenworth had explained
matters they perceived that if they did as
he desired them, there would be no trouble;
if not they would be prosecuted and con-
Victed of violation of law, and bankruptcy
would be inevitable. How many men in
st. Louis were forced into the ring by this
and other ways, and how many went into it
voluntarily, probably nobody will ever
know.
Suffice it to say that by these and
other methods, the objects of the
ring were accomplished, the money
obtained was used as q corruption
fund, and government officials from
the highest to the lowest were after
wards enriched by its division among
themselves.
The ring was ostensibly broken up
in 1875 and some of the more un-
fortunate members of it were made
scspe goats for the iniquities of the
others, and they were made recipients
Of the righteous wrath of an offended
government; but the intimate rela-
tions of the brewers and dIstillers
and the leaders of the party conclu-
sively prove that q divorce has never
yet been decreed. In 1884 a New
York brewer, in urging the support
OF the Republican party by the craft,
had this to say through the columns
of the New York Tribune:
Our national organization is twenty-four
years old. During all these years the Re-
publicans have been in power in national
affairs, and l submit to every candid brewer,

organizations of the brewers and
manufacturers and dealers in liquors
in the early days of their existence.
While it will be observed that their
interests were very carefully guarded
during this time they did not abso-
lutely capture the Republican party,
body and breeches, until the meeting
of the national convention at Phila-
delphia in July, 1872. AT this con-
vention Mr.. Herman Raster intro
duced and secured the passage Of
the following as the sixteenth plank of
the platform.
The Republican party proposes to respect
the rights reserved by the people to them
selves as carefully as the powers delegated
by them to the state and to the federal gov
ernment. It disapproves of resort to un-
constitutional law for the purpose of re-
moving evils by interference with rights not
surrendered by the people to either state or
national government.
This plank so framed as to render
it's exact import obscure to the un-
initiated elected much discussion
respecting its true meaning and
purpose. Mr.. j. M. Miller of
Portsmouth, Mich, wrote Mr.. Raster
respecting it as follows:
PORTSMOUTH, Mich, July 8, 1872.
Mr.. RAsTER-Dear Sir:-You are credited
with the authorship of the sixteenth resolu-
tiOn of the Philadelphia platform, and as
there is some difference of opinion as to
what evils are alluded to, if you would con-
descend to write me line in explanation,
it may serve the cause of truth and free
government. j. M. MILLER.
To this Mr.. Raster replied:
CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 10, 1872.
]. M. MILLER--Dear Sir:-In reply to
yours of July 8th, I have to say that have
written the sixteenth resolution of the
Philadelphia platform, and that it was
adopted by the platform committee with
the full and EXPLICIT understanding that the
purpose was the discountenancing of all so
called Temperance" (prohibitory) and
Sunday laws. This purpose was meant to
be expressed by reference to those rights of
the people which had not been delegated to
either national or state governments; it
being assumed that the right to drink what
one pleases (being responsible for all acts
committed under the influence of strong
drink), and the right to look upon the day
on which Christians have their prayer meet
ings as any other day, were among the
rights not delegated by the people, but re-
served to themselves.
Whether this explanation of the meaning
Of the resolution will satisfy you or not do
not know, but as you want to serve the
cause of truth 80 do |; and what have
stated here in regard to the "true meaning
and intent" of the sixteenth resolution of
the Philadelphia platform is the truth.
Very respectfully yours,
HERMAN RASTER.
Much more testimony might be
added relative to the nature and in
tent of the Raster resolution were it
necessary but enough has been pre-
sented to show the absolute subserv-
iency Of the Republican party to the
brewers and distillers. They were
one ID interest and in purpose. Their
