Doman Aware :—I have been interested
in the discussion between yourself and the
editor of the Radical, on the subject of his
charge for printing the Election Procla
mation, and was surprised to see him in
the last Radical admitting the very thing
you had him charged with. Ido not for
get that he denied it point blank twice
before. An editor of that kind is most
certainly an ornament to the profession:
If you don't let up on him now, I think I
will have )on turned over to 'Bergh and

Our townsman, Hugh Anderson,
esq., met with a casualty on last Friday
afternoon; which came very near result
ing in the loss of his life. He had been
to New Brighton, and was returning
to his home on horseback, by way of the
east bank of the creek. When near the '
Block House Run, his mare is supposed
to have stumbled, and threw Mr. Antler
son over her head. The fall must have
been a very heavy one for he lay there,
unconscious, until almost perished with
cold. Finally he was discovered by
someone residing near, and picked up,
and taken to a fire, and restoratives ap
plied. Subsequently &carriage was pro-
cured at New Brighton, and Mr. Ander
son • was conveyed iu it to his home in
Beaver. The whole town was shocked
at first to hear that his skull had been
fractured by the fall ; but a mediCal ex
amination showed that the skull was un
injured. but a frightful gash in the head
attests the severity of the casualty. Dr.
J. S. McNutt is attending to the wound,
and his patient is in a fair way to recov
er. Mr. Anderson is now 78 or 79 years
of age, and his robust frame and excel
lent constitution have no doubt been
the means of saving his life.

Startling Suicide. —On Tuesday of
last week, Capt. John R. Buckley, ares
tdent of Rochester, this county, commit
ted suicide at the Red Lion Hotel in
Pittsburgh. We copy the parti , atiars
from the Post of that city, *stied the suc
ceeding morning
"About noon yesterday a man named
John R. Buckley, a resident of Roches
ter. cotntnitted suicide at the fled Lion
Hotel, Sixth street. by shooting himself
through the head with a pistol. He was
discovered by a chambermaid, who gave
the alarm and on proceeding to the room
a shocking sight tnet the gaze of the
spectators. Buckley was in bed, with
the clothes pulled up about his head, the
pillow and sheets soaked with blood,
and the brains and blood oozing from a
hole in his forehead. The deed appears
to have been planned deliberately, as
his right hand held the murderous
weapon of destruction—a Smith Jr Wes
tiou.seven shooter. The man appeared
to be about thirty-two years of age,
- dressed in a cashmere coat and vest, and
plaid., red and black wool shirt. He
leaves a wife and two children at Roch
ester, and was laboring under depres
sion from business troubles at the time
of the commission of the dreadful deed.
He died about three o'clock p. m., and
an inquest was held last evening and
a verdict of suicide by shooting was ren
dered."
Capt. Buckley had been in the foundry
business for some years past—first with
the Messrs. Merrick at New Brighton,
but more recently with J. J. Anderson,
of Rochester.

Signing Petitions, Ete.—"The fact
is now notorious, says Beecher in an ar
ticle in the Ledger, that men have put
the signing of-their names to petitions
and letters of recommendation out of the
ordinary code of morality. Men will
sign merely to get rid of a man. They
will recommend a book which they
know nothing about rather than hurt
Rome one's feelings by a refusal. They
will recommend• men as highly fitted
for positions which they positively know
they ars utterly unfitted for. Nay, men
will give to candidates the strongest let
ters for an office, and then write secret
letters to headquarters to say that the
letter is not to be regarded. Inded, it
is said that in certain cases politicians
find it necessary to have it understood
at headquarters that no letter is to be re
garded unless it have some distinctive
sign* upon it which have been agreed
upon.
Is there not need of abetter public+ RlM
timent • n the subject of signing names ?
The laxity of practice is fast taking all
value from documents bearing eminent
names. Such a loose policy as is now
pursued ought to be ranked with false
hoods, deceptions and conspiracies to
fraud.'
We know of a case In our own coun
ty, where a prominent politician signer,
the petition of an applicant for a govern -
rn ent appointment, and within . a few
hours afterwards wrote a , private letter
to our Congressmen asking bi - m to see
that the appointment should not be
made, and stating that be only signed
the public petition in order to got rid
of the applicant. That private letter In
doe time came back to the man who
wanted but did net get an official posi
tion.
And only a day or two ago, we learned
that some forty or fifty names were to a
petition asking the Legislature to pass a
law prohibiting the taking of fish with
nets,seines, dtc.„ in the streams of Beaver
county, and that these same names were
afterwards appended to a paper asking
that, eviit a law, should not be passed.
Men who deal with applicants for of
ficial places, and gentians of a, public
nature, in thisiial, may look upon their
own conduct as smart, but we are quite
certain that some other terve would be
far more appropriate.

The Fish Question in Beaver
county has assumed gigantic propor-
tions. If all we bear is true the welfare
of the whole country depends upon its
proper solution. Senators suut IRepro
sentativel,are to be chosen, lithe near
future, on this issue. Alt other ques
tions are to be dropped out of sight, and
candidates for public offices, from Sena
tor down to Trustee of the Academy,
will hereafter be chosen because of their
"soundness" on this momentous ques
tion.- Tariffs, Civil service reform,
Credit Mobiller and Lands to Soldiers,
will no longer be debated, but the Fish
Question will pop Its bead ; tip! all the
time and everywhere. It is now believ
ed that Curtis will write five articles,
each two columns and a half in length,
on the all-absorbing topic. Ills friends
say that these articles will settle the mat
ter for all time to come, but we doubt
it. There is power in his pen (vide his
"exposure 9f the AtOtts Lie"( but then
this fish qiiestion is a huge affair, and
will take blows of the knock-down and
drag-out sort to kill IL Ordinarily he
can administer these, but the strain on
his mental and physical systems be
cause of his tussle with the afore t iiild
"Amyl's Lie" has been great and left him
completely prostrated. Toast and tea
have been his nourishment ever since.
Hain and eggs, beef-steak, mutton
chops and oysters have been thought
about and sighed for and asked for, but
the words, "no go" always fall with an
agonizing thud upon his ears; and no one
knows now when his ancient physical
vigor, and tremendous mental power
will come to him again. Under these
circumstances, we conclude that the fish
question will not "down at his bld
ding," but will remain with us to vex and
agitate the community for years hence.
With this rather lengthy but hastily
joining together of facts, our readers, we
fancy, are anxious to know what the fish
question is. We answer briefly : Mr.
Jake Steel wants to catch fish with nets,
and a large number of his fellow citizens
want him to catch them with hooks.
Both parties are now before the Legisla
Lure. One side asks-that Jake be re
strained, and Jake don't want to be re
strained a bit. That's the Fish Ques
tion.
That Omaha Wedding.—A gi-eat
number of our exchanges are gushing
over a little incident which ()mimed in
Omaha recently. A. bride, so the report
states, was married hareloot because her
lover's kinfolks dressed that way, and she
did not wish to seem proud. One paper
calls this "a beautiful instance of the del
icacy and consideration of a true woman,"
Another, still more gushing, says: "In
all our reading we have met with no more
touching exhibition of woman's self-abne-
gation and entire devotion. Here was a
young, intelligent and beautiful girl about
to be married to one beneath tier station.
Ills relatives were too poor to dress in
the habiliments which are usual at wed
dings. She cast aside her woman's vani
ty—the love for handsome clothing and
sparkling jewelry—and dressed in the
simple costume of a poor maiden, and
without shoes upon her shapely feet, she
advanced to the altar and was joined to
tile man she had chosen as lover and
husband out of the whole world. To us
this'poor bride appears a proud-?.r and
grander woman than if she sat on an
emerald throne, surrounded by thousands
of subservient lackeys, and ruled an em
pire of millions." This is somewhat ago
nizing, hut it would be passable were the
lady all that is represented- A corres
ponds nt from Omaha furnishes us with
the facts In the case. It seems that the
beautiful young bride was an Indian wo
man, who had just come from the west
ern wilds, and the husband was a whisky
drinking borderer, who lived by fishing
and hunting buffaloes and Indians. In u
raid he had captured the maiden, and
brought her to Omaha. Previous to his
acquaintance with her, the lady's costume
had consisted principally of a pair of
brass ear rings and considerable bear's
grease. The wayward borderer, before
taking her to chore'', 'had clothed her in
the cast-off garments of the wife of one of
his pals, but in the settlement no shoes
were discovered that were adequate to the
covering of her "shapely" feet. so she had
to go to the altar with her toes uncovered„
This kind of knocks all the poetry, senti
ment and highfalutin out of the gushings
of the Itekadaisacal newspapers.

to have license put at such taligh) tigrire
as will drive out the low rum dens, and
put the business in respectable and re:
sponsible hands.
Allow me to say that no adulteration
can possibly make any one drank.
Both yourself and the Ohrontcte ad
mit, as indeed, almost all liquor dealers ,
do themselves, that the drink travois a
bmsiness;which society,in the interests of
the citizens at large, must put under
astringent laws." The difference—the
spleen& only difference—between you
and the Local Prohibitionists, therefore,
is merely as to the adilstibility and wis
dom of Prohibition.
Yourself and the Chronicle wish to
lessen the evils from the "low rum dens."
lam perfectly satisfied that you are
as sincere in your views as the Prohibi
tionists.
But, have you carefully looked at the
matter in the light of all experience,. to
see would "stringent license laws" pro
duce what you hope for? This is ati
important question for consideration.
The very plan proposed, or suggested.
by the Chronicle, and endorsed by your
would, from all experience in that
direction, only produce worse results.
The higher you make the price of the
license, the greater necessity for the liq
uor dealer to "push a trade" to cover
his expenses. And just in proportion
as he pushes his trade, so in exactly
equal proportions will you have a flow
of intemperance, and its fruits to deal
with in your cities and throughout the
country. This is the experience all over
the United Kingdom,in England,lreland
and Scotland. I think you are willing
to learn lessons of wisdom from such
crperienee of other lands.
The grand "gin-palaces" of Englard,
Ireland and Scotland have nothing of
any kind in the UnitedEltates at all ap
proaching them for "respectabdity." l
There is a great "gin-palace" it the corn
er of Le. Jackyllle St. and Abbey St..
Dublin, Ireland, on which to my own
knowledge, the proprietor -spent $150..
000. What do you say to that for "re
spectability" in fitting up ? There is all
the grandeur of a "palace" about that es
tablishment. Hundreds of young gen
tlemen and business men crowd that
house every day and night. There is not
a seat there to sit on. They must all
drink standing at its marble counters,
amidst its blaze of mirrors, and paint-
Logs and ornaments. Hundreds of this
class of "respectable" houses crowd ev
ery city ofthe United Kingdom. What
is the result? What is the experience?
Just this : That many thousands of re
spectable, educated and well-conduct
ed gentlemen, who would not be seen
darkening the door of a "low rim den,"
frequent these grand "palaces," serve an
apprenticeship there to whisky, brandy.
and rum drinking, become wedded to
their glass there, learn to be sots, and
fall so low in their own esteem and in
their position in society, as, in a couple
of years, to be. found the moat regular
frequenters of the "low rum dons."
The "respectable" houses aro only the
large nurseries where the young slips of
humanity are "forced," as plants in a
hot-house, into a rapid and easy growth
In intemperance; and then they get
"bedded out" in the "low rum dens"
when they have been trained sufficient
ly in "liquoring up I"
These very "respectable" houses are
at the present day the great curse of all
the cities of the United Kingdom. This
I state as a elmpele matter of fact,
within my own knowledge, from nearly
20 years' experience as reporter, asso
ciate editor and editor on the leading
daily Journals in the "Old Country."
These facts are admitted, too, on all
hands in England, Ireland, and Scot
land and by all classes. Neither your •
self nor the Chronicle, could ever hope to
enforce inA.merica so "stringent a license
law" as that in force in Great Britain and
Ireland. There is not the police Ma
chinery and organization with which to
enforce legal regulations as strictly as
in Europe. For instance, the Royal
Irish Constabulary is a rifle corps,under
control of the central government only.
They occupy every hamlet, village, town
and city in all Ireland; and most rigidly
enforce the "strictest license laws,"
without "fear, favor or affection."
Yet intemperance is over-whelming
the United Kingdom and alarming into
action even that slowly moved legisla
tive body—the lords and common of
Great Britain and Ireland.
The truth is just this,—wherevar 11-
ceased, liquor mores exist, intemperance
will be promoted by them ; and, the
more "respectable," the houses and the
owners of them, just so much the more
will tbo very respectable members of
the community be ruined by them:
A highly "respectable" house paying
very high license fees, and con
ducted at great expense, must either do
a very large trade, or It must Mint up.
The proposal of the orYnuiriele, as enders-'
ed by you, would amount to either prat.-
tical prohthien or indrease sales of liq
uor by monopolists In the
The large brewers know this so well
that they prefer to have the chance
of the numerous small houses—
the "low rum dens"—for their mar
ket. The proposal for "stringent li
cense laws," Is virtually ebendonlng—
and very properly—all nonsense about
"the liberty of the citizens," their "na
tural righta."tholr "privilege to wry on
what trade they please," and ao on.
In a free State, no man possesses these
"natural rights." Civilized society dare
not tolerate "natural rights" in any of
its members, even in savage life, man
must surrender "natural rights" Übe
gets leave to live at all.
I have a "natural right" to go naked—
to only "wear a smile," as Mark Twain
asserts the gentlemen do in the Sand
wich Islands. But society sayri, I must
not bare liberty to do so. And in the
interests of common decency, the lair
limits and controls.and restricts my "na
tarsi rights" in this respect. The law
also says that I must not trade in ob

Thetruitei States derived last year about
V 4000.400 at" revenue front liquors.—
The Liquor Man's Advocate states that
there were expended In drinks the sum
of $652,000,000 hat year in these totted
States.---1-sey there wasoinduver 1800,-
4300.000. Is not the #8,000.000 of rave.,
nue but the merest fleabite co s.
with an this waste?
The Emperor of China, when urged to
raise a tax by duty on opium, said, "I
shall never replenish my revenue by
teeing the of my people." I trust
that noChristim missionaries will con
vert the 'Emperor of Chins from these
correct views of hts duties.
Mr. Gladstone well said on this ques-
than of liquor revenue, "Do not trouble
yourselves about the revenue. 'With a
sober, thrifty, temperate populattan,
trill know where to get the revenue."
And In Ettglsaid the liquor traffic pays
.1211,000.000 (11130,000,91 XI) of annual reve
nue, at 82.50 a gallon duty on whiskyotc.
Where Wealth accumulates it is very
easy raising is revenue. An impover
ished Intemperate people cannot pay

lons to 5,000,000 in one years' labor for
temperance In Ireland. Bat so much
did the people consume of good, useful
articles instead that therevenne received
more money from Ireland that year than
ever It did previously.
But I must hot intrude further on
your Splioo, I could thus show that eve
ry olfaction raised to Prohibition of the
Liquor Traffic, is unsound, fallaCions,ii
logical; and - contrary to all experience.
But I mud forbear now.
The Helios Moons are licensed "for
the public coavenienoe," from year to
year, and for "one year only." Nothing
Gan n0'611 , 431'. more constitutional, nor
more reasonable and Just than for the
people to say, by their votes, direct, in
stead of through an elected judge, wheth
er they want these licensed "Convenien
cies," or not.
That to vote "no license" cannot touch
any property, is clear from the fact that
therecnn be no property. invested inter
est, in an annual lieenae. Every time a
liquor dealer aakafor a renewal of his li
tense, he admits that he has no property
in it. The people who granted it, "for
one year only." have a perfect right not
to renew it-to refuse It.
For all these, and a thousand and one
other reasons that I could offer. I boll
that Prohibition of the liquor traffic Is
the only sensible way to deal with it;
and that each localtty ought to have the
right to prohibit, if the people choose to
do so - in their own Interests.'

3.500 acres. Of this shout one-half only

Mr. G. owes to himself and the public,
to give his ..views" more fully on this
question of one cow giving birth to three
calves. Some go so far as to say she had
four, and that one escaped, and by some
process of transmogrification assumed
human form, and straightway gave its
"views" of the oldness question through
the'New Bilghtim Press. • By all Melina
let Mr. Gamble look after the fourth
calf, and take him homi else the ffeathen
