DON'T GO.
The American Outlook Wants the Nash

The American Outlook Wants the Nash
vile Centennial Boycotted.
OF course not. We mean do not
go to the Centennial. There is not
one sensible reason which a good
man or woman can give for attend
ing liquor-licensiug show. There
are many reasons why we should
not attend. One reason is because
the Centennial institution proposes
to license liquor selling, and thereby
becomes a party to the crime of all
crimes-the liquor traffic-w which
produces drunkenness, murders, de-
bauchery, seduction, theft, robbery,
rape, arson, and almost every con-
ceivable phase and degree of crime
known to the catalogue.
Another reason is that the Cen
tennial, through its authorities, in
order to give Rum good and legal
opportunity to do this deviltry and
commit these outrages, not only
proposes to get its sale legalized, but
they propose to set aside the only
vestage of prohibition law we have
to do it, by annulling the Four
llIllC law w ulCil llOW lJIOltCOS OllC
Centennial grounds from the whis-
ky curse.
We cannot afford to do it because
the Centennial authorities have
ignored the Christian public senti-
ment of the State; have hurled de.
fiance in the face of the church
and have formed an alliance with
the lowest and the most debased
enemies of public morals and of oul
homes and our children. Christian
men and women must protest by
acts, as well as by word of mouth oil
by pen and ink. We have no re,
spect for mere formal or verba
protest which is not backed by pro
test in action.
Just this is the shame of the
Christians of to-day. We have 1
thousand times passed resolutions
against the liquor traffic, but have
gone on voting with the liquor
ruled Democratic and Republican
parties by whose protection and in
! t1uence alone the saloon infamy Il
able to live. Let the Centennia
severely alone, and let religious pa
! perS so teach ana urge. Let ChrlS
tianministers and members so notify
the Centennial authorities. Delug'
them with your protests and declara
tions to let the show alone. They
have broken their solemn pledges
made to Christian bodies that in
toXicaats should not be allowed sole
on those grounds. This is another
reason for absenting ourselves from
it. In order to get churches to MAKE
exhibits the explicit promise wa
made that no intoXicants would b.
allowed sold. Now, for money con
sideration, they go back on thi
pledge and sell the right to liquor
dealers to deal out this liquid dam
nation for the debauching Of ou
young men and the breaking of tn
hearts of our women.

GarwOOd's Sarsaparilla-for the blood
guaranteed to cure. A. B. RAINS
A Peculiar World,

This is a peculiar world, says an
exchange. One man is saving
money to build a house, and another
is trying to sell his for less than it
cost to build it. One man is spend
ing all he can make in taking a girl
to the theatre and sending her flow
ers, with the hope of making her his
wife, while neighbor is using what
money he has in getting a divorce.
One man escapes with all diseases
flesh is heir to and gets killed on the
railroad. Another escapes with
only scratch and dies with the
whOoping cough. One man stands
of his creditors and goes travelling
or to the springs, while another stays
at home and pays his debts. One
man subscribes for his local paper,
pays for it aud appreciates it, while
another bOrrows it of his neighbor
and kicks because something i'm il
displeases him,

Lehigh,s New President.

The meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company, in Philadelphia this week,
brought about the ong-loOked-for
changes in the management of that
road, and proved a complete surprise
to everybody except those immedi-
ately interested. After forty-fve
years of service President Wilbur was
compelled to retire, and in the selec-
,tion of his successor j. p. Morgan
showed his absolute control of the
company's affairs.
The new president is Mr.. Alfred
Walter, who has spent all the years
of his manhood in responsible rail
way connections. Although his selec-
ton was general surprise, his fit
ness for the position is generally con
ceded. He is comparatively "A young
man, but ripe in railroad experience,
In 1874 he was assistant supervisor of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, and in
1873 resigned a similar position under
the Northern Central road to become
assistant engineer for the same com
pany. From 1882 to 1889 he held the
responsible position of superintend
ent of the Smbury division Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad and the Sha-
mokin division of the Northern Cen
tral Railway, at Sunbury. He was
subsequently, general superintendent
of the Baltimore q Ohio lines east of
the Ohio river. As general manager
Of the New York, Lake Erie q West
ern Railroad, he displayed much eX-
ecutive ability. Shortly after his
resignation from the Erie in 1894 Mr..
Walter undertook the management
OF the large coal estate of Coke
Brothers & Co., and his administra-
ton there has been so successful as
to attract general attention.
Few railroad uperintendents have
had such wide experience as Mr.
Walter, both in the management of
railway aud coal enterprises. The
stockholders of this valuable corpora
tion are to be congratulated upon the
wisdom displayed i'm the choice Of
the successor to President Wilbur

Detroit July 15.-Leonard ]. Craw-

afternoon elected president Of the Ma

of the second ballot was not announced

went over to him and made it unani-
nous before the figures were added.
The only candidate feared by the
friends of Crawford was Frederick w.
Fleitz, Of Pennsylvania. A. M. Hig-
gins, Of Indiana, was third i'm the race
for president. According to the indica-
tions, M. j. Dowling of Minnesota,
will today be reelected as secretary
