The liquor laws in Ohio, Indiana
and New York are substantially the
same, and at this time the friends of
the liquor sellers are laboring with
legislatures in each State for such
amendments" or notifications of
the laws as will make them harmless.


In the Ohio Legislature, last week,
Mr. Reese succeeded in forcing
through the Senate an amendment"
to the Adair law that practically
makes that law dead letter.


After reciting substantially that
part of the Adair law imposing pen
alties for its violation, Mr.. Reese in
serts this proviso:


provided, that such husband, wife,
child, guardian or other interested
person liable to be so injured by any
sale of intoxicating liquors to any per-
son or persons aforesaid, who shall de-
sire to prevent the sale of intoxicat-
ing liquor to the same, shall give at
least ten days notice, either in writ
ing or before a witness orwitnesses, to
the person or persons so selling or
giving intoxicating liquors, to the
owner or lessor of the premises
wherein such intoxicating liquors are
given or sold, or shall file with the
township clerk in the township,
village or large city wherein such in
toxicating liquors may be sold, no.
tice to all liquor dealers not to sell
to such person or persons any intox-
icating liquors from and after ten days
from the date ofso fling said notice
Said notices shall be entered by the
clerk of such township, city or vii
lage, in book to be kept for such
purpose, which said book shall be
open for the inspection of all per-
sons interested;' any notice entered
in such book shall be erased and OBJ
liberated, soas not to be legible, by the
officers having charge of the same,
upon the demand of the person or
persons by whom such notice was
filed, and thereafter such notice shall
cease and end"


The bill comes up in the House
this week, where, as the Democrats
have the majority, it is safe to say
that it will have an easy passage.

The following are the remarks
of Col. Ferry, at the recent railroad
convention in Columbus:


Colonel Ferry was introduced by
President Miller, and said: The
suggestion made by the Governor of
of your fair commonwealth has given
me an idea that certainly is an in
spring one in entering upon any
enterprise, and that is this: that the
first thing necessary is motion, and l
assure you that it is very encourag
ing indeed to witness in your assem-
blage here tonight the motion pre-
liminary to vast enterprise. That
motion has besa urging us along in
thought, in purpose and in deed IN
til we think we have started in di-
rection that will result largely to the
material and substantial interest of
sister State It is pleasant for
Wolverines and Buckeyes to meet to
act in concert in binding together
the interests of the two States, and
not as years ago, as enemies. That,
however, is almost buried in oblivion.
Looking at it in business point Of
view, we say that the termination of
this road is at Grand Haven. on the
borders of Lake Michigan. But that
is merely the termination of the un
broken line between Portsmouth
and the northwest. From the city
of Milwaukee branches four thous-
and miles of road, west, northwest
and north The city of Milwaukee,
the queen of the lakes, as you know,
is the rival of Chicago. Milwaukee,
with its vast interest reaching out in
to the great northwest, wants to make
that point of Concentration and give
it the advantage of transporting east
instead of to Chicago, and round the
head of the lake. 1t is the natural
outlet for the northwest. The De
troit and Milwaukee railway is taxed
to its utmost capacity, and still Mil
waukee cries for relief. If they can,
during the latter part of the season
of navigation and the long winter,
be continually filing their warehous
es and emptying them, you can see
that the resources Of Milwaukee, as
point for purchasing grain, will be
vastly increased, by so many times
as it can fill and empty its granaries
during the winter. The route across
from Grand Haven to Milwaukee is
a summer and a winter one. There
are now two large propellers on the
lake, making daily trips across, which
supply the Detroit and Milwaukee
railway to its utmost capacity, and
still it is unable to furnish transpor
tation sufficient You can see that
when this roadis built, terminating
at Grand Haven, the amount of its
business will be limited only by its
capacity. Just before L left home l
went into the Office of the Detroit and
Milwaukee railway, and I ascertained
there few facts connected with
their transportation business that
will aid you if business men will take
them in ds 1 speak them, showing
the importancesof that road to the
business of the northwest. The pas
sengers and tonnage transported over
that road, across the lake and finding
its way west, for the years named,

On Saturday afternoon the fire bells
rang out ali alarm Of fire caused by an
accident which happened at the foun-
dry of E. 8. Risk q Co., on Court
street, east of the Charleston Railroad
depot. An immense mass OF metal,
weighing about seventeen tons, had
been melted and poured into reser-
voir for the purpose of casting the
iron work substructure of a cotton
compress for Mr.. A. Z. Montgomery.
The mould had been prepared with
care and was surrounded with heavy
iron castings, all ready to receive the
molten mass Of !mettle at given sig
nal. The gate or slide of the reservoir
was worked by lever power. but OWL 6
to some inattention was lett without Il
guard, The tremendous weight of the
metal within the reservoir forced up
the gate or slide, and the red not mass
rushed out, kissing and blazing all
over the mould and into the pit. The
flames and sparks flew i'll every direc-
ton. setting on fire the roof of the
building and stairway leading up and
into the pattern making room. The
fire was extinguished before any mate
rial damage could be done to the build
ing. but seventeen tons of meatl were
chilled and fused into a confused and
solid mass in and around the mould.
causing loss of 81 600 to the proprl-
etors. The casting was the heavy at
tempted to be made in this city, and
the accident is much to be deplored,
as every prec2ution was taken to make
the cast compile success. Fortunately
none of the moulders or employers
we're injured by the rush of red hot
metal, that resembled an eruption OF
lava from Vesuvius.


Our reporter visited the scene of the
accident yesterday, and even then
smoke and steam came mp from the
mould and pit where the immense mas:
of metal was hidden from sight anC


was slowly chilling. We understand

Correspondence of the Kansas City Times.


On Tuesday the entire population,
except blind woman and Rouse,
went over to see Queens great show
and have a nice time. A young lady
from across the Jersey took her suitor
and her opera glass. The young lady
says she thought the performance real
romantic until she stopped to see the
elephant


She wore one of those pockets be-
hind, in which, besides her hand
kerchief, she had deposited an apple, a
handful of p :anuts, quarter of a pound
of gumdrops n little bottle of am
mouIa, and some other trltles. She
and her swain, after admirlng the com
pie xion Of the huge beast, turned
their backs upon him to watch the
monkeys and the live kangaroo, and
gaze into each others eyes; to do this
the better they leaned back against
the rope which inclosed the stately
monarch. who saw the apple protrud
ing from the pocket of the unconscious
fair one. He hesitated moment, and
was lost to all sense of honor or solf-re-
pect, for with sh1tfiing movement he
emulated the example of our common
mother; plUcked and ate the fru1t, re-
turned to the pocket and scooped out
the gumdrops and peanuts, with sly
wink at his nephew, who has looking
on with anxiety at the proceeding.
But in the last mouthful: the majestlc
beast took in the ammonia bottle by
mistake, the cork come out, and about
an ounce of hartshorn ran down the
throat of the greedy beast. This bev-
erage is said to have a reviving and
stimulating influence, and in this case
it proved it's power, for a more revived
elephant was never seen on earth.
With wild yell he grabbed the protu-
berance behind the lady which had
been the cause of his disaster: she was


pulled back" some before, but as
the exasperated trunk yanked at the
hustle and accessories, all former at
tempts at that style of wearing gear
seemed pale and sickly; everything
was "pulled back" until the young
woman looked like the statue of Niobe
in blue calico. The young man with
great presence of mind shouted "shoo"
and the gentlemanly clerk of the ele-
phant, with long probe, persuaded
the beast to let up. But the fun was
over for the day; cake had no charms.
and soda no balm for these two souls,
who walked home with but a single
thought about wild animals.

We found him sitting on the post
Office steps. He had evidently seen
trouble. His clothes We're old and

were out at the toes, and everything

We approached him gently, and laid

There never has been q time in the
history Of our government when it was
so important for the Democratic party
TO have its organization perfect as the
present. In unity there is strength.
The Republican party has, by its reck-
less course, its violations of the cOnsti-
tuition, aud its efforts to centralize all
power in the Federal government,
brought the republic to the very verge
of destruction. This fact was so appa-
rent that the sovereign people in the
elections last fall rose up in their majes-
ty and made clean sweep, beating the
Republicans in nearly every State in the
Union. 1t was glorious triumph for
constitutional liberty. That triumph,
however, is worth nothing If the party
that achieved it permits iIselfto become
demoralized and divided by the machi-
nations Of the Radical leaders. 1t is an
old saying, "TheTe are more ways to
kill q dog than by choking him to
death on butter" This fact the Rsdi-
cal leaders understand, and they believe
there are more ways to beat the Demo-
Gratis than by simply outnumbering
them. Their tactics will be to beat the
Democrats with Democratic votes. To
he able TO do this they will Sc lect soft
Democrats, and pIace them at tho hoad
of their ticket, and in this way divide
and conquer. A true Democrat can
never vote for a Democrat who has ac-
cepted nomination at the hands of the
Radical party, for the moment he
does that he is a Radical, or, what
is infinitely worse, the tool OF the
Radicals. Any Democrat who would

He is a traitor to all the principles upon
which the liberties of the people are
based, and is lending himself Ignorant
ly perhaps) to that party who are work
ing to build up centralized despotism,
with a bonded aristOcracy to control and
make the people hewers of wood and
drawers OF water for them. There is a
great contest now going on in this coun-
try between despOtism on the
one hand and liberty on the
other. Grant and his henchmen evil
IDENTIFY intend, if they can, to destroy
our government and to build up Gen.
traIized despotisW on its ruins. The
progress they have made in accomplish
ing their purpose has been very great.
The constitution, the great chart Of lib
erty, has been violated time and again
by these upstairs in power. No one
doubts that Grant has been Influenced
in his official acts by the money power.
His veto of the bill to increase the
volume of currency when the entire
commerce of the country was ruined for
the want of currency to carry it on, was
conclusive that the bondholders and
moneyed sharks had Grant by the wrist.
1t is this moneyed power that the peO-
pie must fight and bring under subiec-
tion, or constitutional liberty on this
continent will be thing of the past.
The order now is, all along the line, for
Democrats to stand by their guns, and
neither give nor take quarter. If the
line is broken anywhere it may produce
general rout, and result in victory
