Ill auswer to Mr. Prey man's question, "W nldnot one-half nf the saloons and hotels n he town accommodate the travellngpublleat any timet" Mr. Hauk, the. wlliicrfs for T. Snyder's client, said. "No, they could not Irlng fair, when potltf cal meetings were lb. d ami during the conn- ty Institute." Derlngtl.eeNamhmtl.mofthe witnesses It was said that we had ten licensed plates, for the actommodatlDt. of the public,-' nndtlioqucstloiiwas.woulduot in.ehalfcf tills number be sufllcleut? In other wonts, could not a less number nccommndatc the general public? And the answer In. substance was that our present number were unable to meet tbe demands "during fair, political meetings and county teachers Institute." And now tonus George lirlnton MeClellan Htockcrnnd asks, "did not the rev. gentleman know that nil the hotels could not accommodate the teachers at Hie couiitv institute?" Ami did you not say on the witness stand that Jon visited all the saloons In town and could hot get what jou wanted-that not one of them was kept as it should be kept, and that .a first-class restaurant was a necessity Implying that the others are not first-class. What prompts tbeseincnto take thlscxtremeposltloii? Is It because a few cranks presented a petition signed by the ministers of the different' churches and by tho Sunday school superin tendents? llon't you see how you misrepre sent, and what Impression you make on the general public? In order to Induce farmers to bring Hie product! of the soli to our fair, and the manufacturer his urtlclcs, Is It nut better to speak vvcllot our hotel and salooh accommodations? Is It not, important that the people who may attend political meetings to know that our hotel und salorm accommo dations ure good; und as for the teachers' cuuiity Institute, have the teachers not been accommodated? Is it a fact that our large, roomy hotels, with their excellent table ac commodations,, refused to receive members nf the county Institute? Is It not a fact that oue of the hotels offered to baud ull Hie teachers If they could get rooms to slcopclsti where, and did not our private citizens tlnow open tliolr homes the best spare bed for their accommodation? If reflecting asset tlons would only have boeu made on tho witness stand I nuglit pass It by, even if Mr. T. A. Snyder, County Superintendent, who knows the facts, and who, as tho attorney, could have corrected the Impression madubyhls witness, hut did not; and since they are also made hi private conversation and In public print, I do not see why llicy should be passed by. is It just that so much ado Is made about a respecbible place one respectable place to tho exclusion of all the others, or in advertising this nartlcubir placo mid Its propnetorat tho expense of Hie rest? Don't Horn, Fritz Miller, Heck. Clark, Webb and -.sell keep flrst-ebss restatuants? Is Mr. Peters more of a gentleman than they? Uo they vlotato the laws, but Mr. Peters Will not? How did your testimony Impress the Court? When these other gentlemen annlv for a renewal ot their licenses, will the Court grant them, since none of them, according to testimony, are first-class? Is It proper that comparisons of this Und are made becaus'o on are called upon to defend J ourself against the attacks made by cranks? W by pull dow n our old and established places hi order to make room for new ones? Would It not be In' order .for Mr. T. A. Snyder to publish to the people of Carbon, so that thosa who have been misled may kuow.the facts touchlngthc entertainment of the teachers attending the county Institute. Mr. Peters has a fino place, centrally located, hp Is an deserving of sup port as any ot the rest; and If our German friends vv ant it place where they can get some thing to eat, and In a social way have a glass of beer with it, he can accommodate them. He has rooms especially fitted up for the pur pose, but his friends are too enthusiastic nt the expense and good r.a ue of other similar places. It is poor jtollcy to furnish cranks with nuimunillon. We have some men In town who are stupid enough, und who have cheek enough to visit our hotels and saloons tnorderto furnish them with ammunition: ami George lirlnton MeClellan Stocker how much cnecK nave you? two iiauu full The Liquor Problem, HOW TO SOI.VK IT. Eiiitoii AnvofATr.: The living, burning, aiU-ihsoiblng question now before tho nubile Is the liquor problem. We cannot exagger ate the Importance of this subject; It com mands and demands tho most serious atten tion, and every sentiment of humanity and every throb of christian sympathy for tho woe. misery and wretchedness that exists In thu world, must find Its full developement In consideration-of the devastation of tho homes and the crime ami pauperism that l.s caused by rum-siilling. The horrors of this traffic are too deep and Icrrlbloto be fathomed by any oidlnary calculation. A woild of crime and misery meet us every day, and ever) where wo hear the agony of a mother's nercavement caused by this awfulcur.se; wo see the tears nf anguish that are shed by a wife over her debased husband; wo know the awful suspense and 'anxiety of a mother's reelings and crushing biuden to see her children subject to the stupor of u drunken frenzy. And all these are only part of tho awful consequences that constantly How like a. stream of burning lava over inauyot the nonius aim best Interests of our country. It is certainly and lamentably true that all tho woes or war, pestilence and famine, or all combined, are not to bo compared to the de vastation ot our country by this helneous and terrible curse of runi-sellhig. The wholesale waste and destruction of this terrible evil is difficult to estimate. The many, many mil- lions mat are worse than wasted may be com pa ted to a grand conflagration, coiisuni Ing whole elite hi its devastation, with no redeeming feature and uncompensating re lief from tho wanton waste. It Is ull gone, leaving Its blighting, blasting, spiilhlngund poisonous effects, of all Its surroundings. Wood, treason and affection are all sacrificed on this Moloch of abomination. Nine hun dred millions or tho peoples'- li.-trd-carnccl money ure yeaily remorselessly thrown into this guir, this yawning abyss of woo and wretchedness. Various methods of solution have been applied to this Intricate and Im portant problem. .Moderation has been pleached and practiced and has been found wauling. High license has had, and still has Its advocates, but It has not shown us the way out of the maze. Itiewed liquors hnvo been recommended as a proper substitute for instilled spirits but they have nrovrn a tie- lusloii. Moral suasion lias hud a full and fair trial, and the facts prove that It needs the iiipimrt otlls counterpart, legal suasion, to make it a success. Tho right solution will prove Itselt true; which Is found toheLtgal ficAiUffon, and the only way to reach It Is by the iuliait. It Is tho audacity of the liquor truffle which we excct to stimulate us to ihe proper vigor of oiUHisltlon to it, As slavery went down In its madness, so tho traffic will go; for whom the gods would de stroy they first make mad. We litnoall lived to see the abolition of slavery, and It is not Incredible that some of us may live to see the liquor t runic mado an outlaw by both Stale and National enactment. We, us an American people, are at present In a very iiupoiianl lormatlve period of our history, Certain new factors appear tn the political arena which are hot well understood and are not susceptible ot manipulation by tho poll tlclau. 1 lie church of to-duy Is vil tually Ink lug the same ihmiiIou on the question of lemperauce that she look on that ot shivery a lew scars prior to, ami during the war.

The noble women of our land who are organized by thousands under the ban nerofthu Woman's Christian Temperance Union have already made their Influence felt from the l-tkcs to the Gulf, and from Ihe A -lantle to the Pacific, and many a politician lias felt the Influence of the electric shock which made him shake In his boots.

The contest with the great scourge ot our country will soon dcvelope Into a determined moral we faro that will sliake society from cenirfc to circumference, tt will be no common an- tarjonlsin of opposite Interests merely; all tho Dad Instincts of a debauched manhood, com bined with the perverted and degraded habits ot'thclr victims, will marshal their forces to combat the aroused InlMllgence nnd the moral Christian sentiments of the people, but the inn blaze or an enlightened and conccn trated public, conscience will bo brought to bear on this monster vieo and corruption, and the nevv moral power will act like a furious gathcilng storm tluit will sweep all obstacles from its path like cobwebs in Ilia trees. This nevv and. concentrated blast of public con demnation will bo like aslmoou In the desert, to 'blind and bewilder thu ghostly demons of treachery, prejudice, npathy, and selfishness that may retard the progress of the coming avalanche; but It will come, and will sweep through the country llko a riuhlug, roaring, sweeping tornado, and -woe to the 'mlltlcian or weak-kneed Christian who stand In Its lmtli. Straws show thedlrcctlon ot the wind, here are. a few from our State: In Lawrence cOuuiyout ot thirly-flvo applications for II cense this spring thirteen were granted. In Duller county fourteen out of foity-four, and of the fourteen uotrrtusud Six were laid over for further Investigation. In Indiana county none wero granted for tho town of Indiana. In Franklin county Judgo flow refused liquor licenses for certain hotels saying that,- tqion ids" own information, the population, travel and local Interests did not require saloons. In Armstrong county Judge'Neal refused all ap plications for licenses for Parker City. In Huntingdon county only six 'licenses were granted. &e &c. The people are already full or anxiety. A vvido spread Interest litis been awakened that demands a positive, an agresslve advance; nnd this Is tho tidal wave of intelligent conviction that promises so much hi bringing about moral revolution hi tho near future. It requires no prophetic vision to see the grand utilising ot tho people that Is soon to overtake this evil; we find ourselves even now carried along on tbe Hood ttdo of Intelli gent conviction a conviction that will soon sink this whole business of rum-scHing In a gulf so b'rotid nnd deep that there will bo no vesUigB of a resurrection. There was'atlnie, and that was not long since. In which tho sub ject ot temperance was bilked nnd prayed over from a sympathetic standpoint only. We were called on to sympathize with tho drunk ard and his surroundings until our eves and tecllngs manifested their sympathy with tears, and our over-flowing hearts palpitated with emotion. Put tho tide has taken nnothcrand a new turn. We havo started on a new de parture. Instead of sentiment merely, we now' commence a crusade of Intelligence and the application of political methods that promises defluite and practical results In tho very near future. The moral atmosphere. Is brightening with the Hashes of Intellectual light that arc being thrown on the dark pic ture of crime and vvrrtchcilnoss that hasso long prevaded the land; and the apathy of the people Is List giving way to a more.cnllglit cued conviction. How then, are righteous laws on this subject to be secured, and w hen secured, enforced? Simply by tho election of men to the Legislature who will sco to the passage of such laws, and of officers who will sco that, when passed, these laws aro en forced; aut) that such men may be elected, those friends who look for and labor for the removal of tlie great curso must use their bal lot. Too long have the friends of tern peranco, by their inconsistency hi this matter, givou the world cause to doubt the sincerity of their professions. "Where Is your consistency," it Is asketl, 'Iwiieu, after all you say about the evils of Intemperance and yourdcslreftirthelr removal, yon et voto men Into the Legisla ture, Congress, County and town oluccs,whom you know to be In tho habit ot using every day, as a beveraire, drinks that Intoxicate, and who have no sympathy with thu temiier ancercform?" The ovvcr of the ballot to the accomplishment of any object In politics Is understood and appreciated by the liquor dealers, In all questions affecting their In terests, they act in concert and as ono man pledged to tuppiirl no candidate for office who can not give satlstactory assurance that he Is with them, and In all things will act for them. Their motto Is: "He who Is not for us is against us." To this, their unflinching devo tion to the Interests of their own cr.ift,uiust be attributed much of their success and present power. Never, for one moinunt, do they hesi tate to put to the candidate seeking their suf frage, the question : Aro you In favor of lcgls tlon hi our interest and In opposition to all temperance movements? Why should the friends of temperance neglect the use of the ballot in seeking, the removal ot the greatest evil that affects the country? Wo speak not now of the formation ot a new party; we simply ask: Is It consistent for us to pledge with one hand our lives to labor for tho sup pression of liitciniiei-.iiiee, while with thu oth er we deposit our ballot tor a man who Is In favor of its continuance? Let every friend of temperance take the ground, and let nomina ting conventions of both parlies understand that no candidate for any office can receive his vote who Is not In favor ot the spoedy and complete overthrow of the liquor traffic, the grand feeder of lutemicraiice,and halt thu work Is done. And why should It be other wise? How cm I, as a friend of temjierance, consistently voto for any man to any office who Is not with mc in seeking thu removal of the great curse? It n man comes to mc for my vote, Is it right that he should represent filMHKi.F or mk? If he docs not agree with what IJiellcve to be my Interest nnd duty how can he represent me? If, then, I would consistently carry out my tciniienineo prin ciples) '1 nuist use the ballot In its behalf. While, then, wo would, as friends of tcmiier- nncc, seek, and that most energetically, by the use. of the pledge, the press, the pulpit, the forum nnd thu school-house, the advance ment of teniierancu In the reelainiatluu ot the Inebriate, tho preservation of the youth, and the creation ot a healthy public sent! incut on that subject, let us also use the halli.t. Our petitions to legislators for the enactment ot Just laws on this subject wilt be treated with coutcmptous silence so long as the sign ers neglect tn this end that share m the sov ereignty of the Statu which Is tho privilege and duty of every citizen the right of suf frage. True, indeed, vv hen tciuin-raiico men talkot using the luillot In accordance with their principles, to elect men favorable to temperance and opposed to the liquor traffic, politicians raise the cry: "Oh 1 that will en danger our party," for they well know, tluit, as lung as party leaders care more tor w hat is expedient than what Is right, and think mom of policy than principle Ilia consistent use ot the ballot by tejiiicrunco men to advance that reform will certainly upheave iiontlcnl organi zations, swamp ailis:ius, and thwart the de sluns of ilt-hiaaicrucs. Hut what, then.-lt or ganizations are so weak that they can not Kbuid tin for Ihu rlsht. foe thu Interests of hu manity, and tho promotion ot the greatest good ever tendered to man? Then let them L-odoun. If such candidates only can be elected who ure In symitathy with a traffic that lias proved Itself to be nn iinmittguieu evil, in favor nf vv hhii not one honest word can be said, then let llieui be elected bv those ot llko mind.

Jesus was talking with the Samaritan woman at the well when His disciples re turned with food from the city. When they drew near nnd saw their Master in conversation with u womau they were greatly surprised, and yet none dare question II is acts. On their approach the woman, forgetting Iter errand to the well und leaving her water pot behind her. hurried lack to the citv to Ull the Joyiul news to her friends, suying,"iant.t tins the Uiristr At these words, a number of the inhabitants quickly starttd forth to sco this wondcrliil uiun and themselves to hear His leadlines Inlhe mcunltmc, Christ refuses tho foid winch His disciples have l.routlit. and tells them of that higher s'iistcni.n e which lie obtained from uod. He re minds them of the work which lay before them, and of the sustaining power of Uid at ull times. Sweeping Ilia eye' across the plain mid up the beautiful hillsides Ho sees the busy sowers scattering their seeds, und in the distance, the rn.wd from the city coming towards Him. With mind nnd heart fully aroused, He said, "Say not ye, There ure yet i'Our months, und then Cometh harvest? behold, 1 say unto you, lift up your eye., nnd look on the licld;.for they are white already to harvest.'' And thvu He 'unfolded ' to litem the principle of the spiritual har vest in which they were to engage, and taught them tho Messed truth that ''One sowcth and another rerpcth," and vet both do the vvill of their Master, The people, (Mining up, gathered round the .Savior and listened to His words; and they were so deeply impressed witli His teachings that they besought llim to stay with them in their city, and Icucli them more fully tho grand truths of His spiritual kingdom. Two days He re mained there, mid many believed on His words, because they heard llim them selves. So" tho Savior leaves the colli and unbelieving Judc-.i which ought to have received Him but did not, und in the hated Samaria, amidst tho unfriendly Samartians, He tinds ready access (n-llio hearts oflhc people und willing adherents to His cause, bo the trilling' circum stance, His asking for a drink of water when tired and thirsty, leads to the most unexpected and important icsults. Heirs arc swayed, new und divine principles are taught, lives are remodeled, anil 11 work is begun inSychnr which shall spread und grow and have glorious inliucueu on thousands of hearts und lives. The feud of centuries between Jews und Samari tans receives a blow at the handsof Christ; He teaches 11 higher und nobler principle, u grander und broader truth, and to the Samaritan He preaches His gospel. Iocal strife and sectional differences could not enter into His work and plans He was the Savior of all. And so to-day, He comes to all nations nnd all classes with the same blessed gospel of peace and deliverance, from sin. LESSON THOUUIITS. 1. Tell your experience to others if it is wortli telling. 2.

The Lehigh Valley's Westward Sway A telegram from Chicago savs It is evident that the Lehigh Valley has en tered the competition for the east-bound freight trafiic from Chicago and St. Louis with a linn determination to re main in the business. The. announce ment was made Wednefdav of last week that an arrangement had just been com pleted between the Wabash, tlrcat Division of the Grand Trunk, and the Lehigh Vulley Itailroads for the forma tion of a nevv fast freight line to be known as the Wabash and Lehigh Valley Fast Freight Line. The General Freight Agent of the Lehigh Valley Itoad will he the general manager of the new fast fielght Hue, and there will be agencies in Xevv York, Chicago and St. Louis. The formation of this line will prove as serious a blow to the new trunk line combination as tho refusal of the Chicago and Atlantic to join the new east-bound pool. The defection of the Lehigh Valley destroys tha solid com pact of the trunk lines, and gives those Western linos that fecj inclined to cut rates an opportunity to Und an outlet to thu sealtoard In spite of any action the irunK uue pool may tauo.
