In many out-of-the-way places it has
been found necessary to manufacture
nitro-glycerine on the spot in order to
avoid the very high rates charged by

precaution, thorough washing and

The latest yarn about the Democratic
Presidential situation is that Hill, realiz-
ing that he has no chance for the nomin-
alton, has determined to bring forward
Roswell Pethbone Flower, the present
Governor of New York, as compromise
candidate. It is not difficult to believe
that, failing to get the nomination for
himself, Fill would prefer Flower to any
body that could be named, but that any
body opposed to Hill could support
Flower, who is merely Hills tool,
passes comprehension. As between the
two Hill is far preferable, for he is pos
sessed of ability, and the responsibility
of the Presidential Office would probably
check some of his bad inclinations.
Flower, however, is simply cipher,
whose sole recommendation has ever
been that he had very large and well
filed barrel, which he was inclined to be
generous with. AS President Hill would
control him as completely as he now
controls him as Governor of New York.

The fundamental error of the National
Prohibition party lies in it's assum ption
that the great majority of the voters of
this country are ready and anxious to
place prohibition on the national statute
book, and are kept from doing so by
what it calls the subserviency of the
existing parties to the liquor power. 1t
is doubtless true that the great majority
OF the voters realize the baneful effect of
the liquor traffic and are in favor of
measures for it's restriction, but that is a
very different thing from being in favor of
prohibition. In Maine the majority of
the people have declared themselves in
favor OF prohibition, but in many other
States majority of the people have de-
clared themselves opposed to it, and that,
too, when the question was not compli-
Gated with any other. The number of
States that have expressed opposition
greatly exceeds the number that have
voted approval. Now in this state of
public sentiment what chance is there of
hesolOAol PlOAlUlUOIy laws
None whatever. The most the advo-
Gates of prohibition can hope for in the
present state of public sentiment is to
secure the enactment of a prohihitory
law in an occasional State. The time
may come when the sentiment of the
country will be such that national party
which puts prohibition in it's platform
will have some chance of carrying the
country. Meanwhile the National Pro-
hibition party can accomplish much
more for prohibition by abandoning it's
efforts to make prohibition national
issue, and concentrating its influence
on State politics. A body of earnest
men, such as the principle of prohibition
could muster in every state in the Union,
if it were made certain that the only pur-
pose in view was to advance that princi-
pie, could exert great influence upon
existing parties and do much to control
legislation. This possible influence is
now to very large extent frittered away
and wasted in useless attempt to create
a national third party with prohibition
for its chief corner stone. Parties are
the outgrowth of public sentiment.
They do not create it.

Some of our esteemed contemporaries
are still styling the Australian ballot law
the kangaroo" system. Whether they
do so because they think that characteri-
cation is funny, or because they imagine
it will prejudice the law with the voter,
we do not undertake to say. If it be the
former, then their sense of humor needs
educating; if the latter, then they are
engaged in cheap business.

Let Hill control this number as absolutely
as he viii control the delegation from
New York and he can prevent the nonni-
nation Of Cleveland. He can compel
compromise. 1t is to this end that Hill
is now apparently bending all his ener-
gies. Convinced that he cannot get the
nomination for himself he is determined
to keep it away from Cleveland. To sue
coed Cleveland must secure two out of
every three delegates. Let his opponents
get but one out of three and they have to
secure but one more to beat him.

The Boston Globe has submitted the

The Boston Globe has submitted the
case of James Trefethen, just convicted
of the murder of Tena Davis, to jury of
lawyers, doctors, legislators, policemen,
marketmen, women and various and
sundry other persons--in all several hun
dred in number. Each one of this grand
aggregation is permitted to pronounce
his verdict in his own language in the
columns of the Globe. It does not ap-
pear that single one of these people had
heard the evidence in the case, yet very
few of them feel any hesitation in ex-
pressing positive opinion as to the
justice or injustice of the jury's verdict
A majority of them appear to think that
the verdict was not justified by the evil
dence, though large number are just as
positive that it was. Some of them are
frank enough to confess that they had
not read much of the evidence, though
their convictions as to the propriety of
the verdict appear to be just as strong as
those of the people that Lad followed the
testimony as printed by the newspapers.
One man is SO mnch stirred up by the in
justice of the verdict as to proclaim that
it puts everybody in the community in
jeopardy. IF the members of the Globes
jury had attended the trial throughout.
listened to the evidence and seen the wit
nesses their opinions would doubtless
have been valuable and entitled to re-
spect, but under the circumstances they
would seem to be of very little account
There is no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland's
chances of securing the Democratic nom
ination have grown steadily greater dur
ing the, last three months, and that today
he stands far in advance of any single
candidate. Hill will have considerable
number of delegates, but even he himself
has abandoned all hope of getting the
nomination and is now bending all his
might to the defeat of Cleveland. There
are quite number of ''favorite sons"
who will be presented by their respective
states for ballot or two, but for the
most part their support will be of a per-
functory kind. If a majority could nomi-
nate in Democratic convention it would
be perfectly safe to predict that Cleveland
would be the next Presidential candidate.
But the two-thlrds rule, which has been
adhered to in former Democratic conyen-
tions, and which will hardly be broken
in the coming one, gives small minority
tremendous power. One over third
of the delegates can paralyze the remain
der just so long as they hang together.

Those former democrats in the al

time to be able to see how they are be-
ing used by the would-be leaders of the

no fusion of democrats and peoples

choice; and in order to put himself in

Danger Ahead"

Bro. Armstrong at last has been
caused to see danger ahead'' in the
coming contest in Kansas. He has dis
covered down deep in the dark recesses
of his mind, an electric search light
which has disclosed the unpleasant
possibilities before the peoples party
advocates of Kansas. Realizing that,
through the bull-headed policy he and
other would-be peoples party leaders
have pursued for the past few months.
ali hope of any iota of success has been
driven out, he begins to hedge, to pre-
pare for the inevitable, and is getting
in shape to try and throw the RESPONSE
bility for the certain disaster upon
other shoulders, if possible. In his
danger Ahead" editorial of last week
he says:
1.-THE motto of the Beacon is to work
for the peoples party and, keep in the
middle of the road.' This we intend
to do so long as our party is working
for the benefit of the industrial masses,

II years.
Mother is dead. The weary feet
that trod life's rugged path for over
three score years and ten are resting
now, and her freed soul has winged its
way back to the Master, while the
de&r, cold clay that served but as an
earthly temple, lies beneath the sod.
The tired hands which toiled so faith
fully that those she loved should not
experience the rougher elements that
enter into life; those hands so ever
ready to careSs the childish head, to
aid the baby feet, to bind the wounded
limb. to feed the hungered and to raise
the fallen; those hands 80 often clasped
in earnest supplication to the God
above that He might lead her children
in His way and make them better men
and women, now are clasped across
her faithful breast in that long rest.
Mother is dead; for God has closed
those dear eyes in the last long sleep
that knows no earthly Weakening; those
eyes wherein the ever ready tear drop
glistened for the woes of others,
whether great or small; where love
was ever found to beam forth constant
for her children and her friends, are
shaded now forever, and my bitterest
tears are shed when e'er l think OF
how in wanton thoughtlessness l may
have caused them pain.
Mother is dead. Her great and low
ing heart which ever beat for others
through long and weary life of tot
and disappointments, throbs 40 more
Could but feel that 1 had never made
that loving heart to ache, that kEOwl
edge would indeed be a most precious
