SATURDAY EVENING, APBIE. 21, 1883.
Tlie Defeated Amendment.
The prohibition amendment has been
finally defeated in the Heuse,and that is
an end of it for this session. When the
compensating rider was fastened upon
it its fate was settled. The preposition
te pay the liquor men damages for their
losses suffered afforded many members a
chance te give it a death stab without
facing the responsibility of making open
opposition te it. And when that condi
tion had been fastened unen it the pre
hibitienists themselves were prepared te
unite in dispatching the preposition as
then shaped and burying it under nn
overwhelming vote of opposition. .
It is certain that as a political factor
the prohibition movement is net as
stren as it was some years age. The
politicians are less afraid of it. Later
results in the Western states have stayed
the progress and stepped the eastward
sweep of the prohibition movement. It
is net se certain, however, that the in
fluence or agitation of the liquor men
has had as much te de with this change
of sentiment as the warnings of some of
the mere thoughtful -and conservative
temperance men that prohibition is
neither justified in a cede of sound polit
ical morality nor effective in curing the
ills which spring from the liquor traffic.
New that there can be no revival of
this subject te practical purpose for two
years, we suggest te the temperance
people that they join in ttie movement
which the hotel owners and keepers pro
fess te be anxious te inaugurate, viz :
the enforcement of existing laws en this
subject. If these two influences will
work together te that end, and will make
all persons having licenses keep within
them, and will shut up all places that
have net the accommodations required
by law, and will prevent the licensing of
places net necessary te public entertain
ment, mere will have been accomplished
for temperance than ever was recorded
te the credit of the prohibition or total
abstinence movements. We earnestly
invite the temperance people te give this
plan a two years' trial. If it fails, the
public may have sympatby with some
ether ; if it succeed, the public mind will
be better prepared for mere stringent
laws. In no event can the ..nmuuity
be worse off than new.

cesser, it was occasioned entirely by
the superserviceable zeal of some
of their own number in disseminating
the flattering idea that the state super
intendent was only waiting te hear what
the Lancaster ceuuty senators and Mil
lersville authorities wanted, te make his
choice. Fer the beuefit of all concerned,
we may state upon the very best possible
authority, that while the state superin
tendent is open te recommendations and
reports from all and every one who has
an interest in this subject, his
mind is as yet a sheet of white
paper ; all that has been written or told
him has been merely pigeon holed for
future consideration, digestion and de
cisien. The idea that he would delegate
his responsibility te anyone else, or that
there were any " certain Indications " of
his choice was wholly gratuitous. Supir
intendenl Shaub's successor will net be
appointed at least before his own lesig lesig
nalien is received.
The dispatch about bursting pipe
lines and blazing oil at Leavittsburg,
Ohie, is still being worked in the intere-t
of the opposition te free pipe line legisla
tien, and, under date of April 11th, it is
yet being widely printed in the opposi
tion papers that " the oil is still blazing
and the property in the vicinity is in dan
ger of destruction," although the trifling
character of the accident and the incon
siderable damage done have- been fully
exposed by these who understand hew
the Standard company periodically sets
such reports afloat. The llailicuy World
rather gives away its case when it recalls
in connection with the dangers of trans
porting oil, that " some of the most
destructive railway accidents that ever
occurred originated in mishaps te trains
transporting petroleum, and vessels hav
iug it en beard are net allowed te carry
passengers." Since petroleum must be
transported, therefore, it is manifestly
better te convey it in subterranean pipes
than by such daugereus methods as that
of railway carriage.
It gees without the saying that Sena
tors Wallace and Wolverton took no
part in arranging the congressional ap
portionment which has been prepared
for the consideration of the Senate by
the majority of its sub committee en
this subject. That preposition, te give
the Republicans eighteen and the Demo
crats ten of the districts, is, of course,
submitted by the Stalwart factionists in
the expectation that it will be defeated
and that all apportionment will be pre
vented. Seme of the proposed districts in
the Democratic ( Nichelson ) bill are net
as shapely as we would like te see, but
in its general results it is fair ; and it
has no such monstrous features as these
of the Bepublican plan of gerrymander
which contemplates the partition of Le-.
high se as te join Allentown and Lizzard
Lake in one district and te extend an
ether from near Williamapert te the
Maryland line."
After a rough experience en the sea,
President Arthur took a champagne and

At Atchinson, Kansas, a sensation has
been created owing te the following facts:
A woman named Clara J. Wilsen was
taken before the grand jury of Harrison
county, Missouri, with her family te
answer a charge of arson. As she refused
te testify, she was sent te jail for contempt
of court. She made her escape and was
lest sight of. Thursday the chief of police
there received a letter from the prosecu
ting attorney of Harrison county, which
enclosed one from Clara dated Atchison,
in which, among ether things, she states :
"I have burned mere than one building,
and before Wednesday night some of
Atchinson will be in ashes like S.A.Dale's
house. Nobody knows my name, and I
will burn half of Atchinson, kill all I can,
and then go te some ether place and kill
and burn mere. I will be 33 mean as I

As several attempts have been made

en the grounds were in flames, and that
he had chased the woman who set them
en fire ever the fields and prairie. Citizens
and officers started in buggies te find her

was placed in the county jail. The woman
also fired, earlier in the day, the main
staircase and apartment of the Exposition
building. The flre was extinguished. She
also fired Colonel Brown's granary.

had softening of the brain. Yesterday he
felt better, and when a lead of coke came,
at 5:30 o'clock, he declared his intention of
putting it into his cellar. His mother ob
jected, but he persisted saying : "It's
hard luck if I can't be of some use in this
world." After he had finished the job he
said he was going upstairs te wash hi ni
seis. Net hearing him make any noise,
his sister went up and found him holding

THE 1'KESIDKlNT ATTACKED BY UIIILLS
Tlie Physicians and Others Momentarily
Alarmed Keeping tlte Illness a
Clese secret.
The president was taken with a chill
Thursday night en beard the Tallapoosa
off Savannah. He has kept his bed all day.
Plans for going home have been se much
upset that it is new doubtful if he will
venture en a sea trip. He returued te the
Tallapoosa te sleep at 11 o'clock Friday
night after a day in town and an evening
at Captain Betts', en Monterey square,
whero he dined. The nhht air was cool,
and going from a warm room te the ship,
whero he had arranged te sleep, he was
chilled. The chill net leaving him upon
reaching his quarters, he sent for Mr.
Black, the ship's surgeon. Bestoratives
failed iu their effect and the president
took te his bed with a percoptible rigor.
The surgeon then drugged him with mor
phine He lay in a stupor until 1 o'cleek.
The rigor had net abated and the temper
ature of the body was falling.
Werd was conveyed te the commanding
office that congestion was threatened and
it was agreed that medical aid should be
summoned from Washington if the symp
toms continued unfavorable through the
night. About 2 o'clock the body was
cooler and the chill mero pronounced.
Mere morphine was injected and the
stupor deepened. Indications of improve
ment appeared between three and four
o'clock and from then until nine o'clock
this morning, when weak coffee was
ordered, in the hopes of stimulating the
stomach and eliminating in part the effects
of the drng. Twe spoenfulls were swal
lowed but at ence rejected. The president
lay with closed eyes for another hour,
when he took and retained two spoenfulls
of ginger ale. lie complained of drowsy
ness and a buzzing head, which he seemed
te think a little exercise might work off,
but he was weak and the surgeon caution
ed him net te think of leaving his room
aud te keep his mind free from worri werri
ment for the rest of the day. He dezed
at intervals, the part of the ship in which
he lay being" shut off from crew and visit
ors alike. At neon he was better and was
slowly mending throughout the after
noon. The commanding officer and the sur
geon were the only persons attached te
the ship who knew up te neon that the
president had been sick, and suspicion
eutside was warded off by the appearance
of Secretary Chaudler, Mr. Phillips and
Mr. Miller riding for pleasure en the river
and driving and walking around town all
the morning. The carriages of friends,
moreover, who had been invited te mecfc
the president at Captain Betts' and lunch
there, drove te the residence in Monteroy
square, some of tbem remaining an hour
or se while peeple within awaited the prcs
dent. They went away disappointed, but
ignorant of the cause of his nou-appearauce.
Boticence aud evasion were kept up dur
ing the afternoon aboard the ship aud in
in town beyond a casual announcement
iu any evening paper that tbe president
was indisposed and would rest aboard to
day in order te transact seme important
business of state. Thore was net at bun
set a shadow of a rumor of the truth. The
special car that took the president te
Jacksonville is at the station. Secre
tary Chandler says that should the presi
dent be well onengh he will start to
morrow for Washington by rail, going
directly through, according te the after
noon's plans. In that case he will reach
Washington en Sunday night.
The president came out en deck last
l n'gbt, feeling much better, he said, with-
out apprehension of further trouble. He
w,n decide this morning by what reute he
will return home.

" PWACU."
Passover 8tM3 A. M.
Fer the iBTELuaKtcsx.
Frem Saturday evening, 21st iust., the
eve of the 15th day of the first month
(Nibsan), the children of all Israel in all
zones and climes celebrate for seven days
the Feast of Passover, or feast of unleav
eued bread, iu obedience te the diviue
law. Exodus xiii.. 3 te 8 ; xxiii., 15 ;
XXVI
18 : Leviticus xxiii.
Deut.
xvi., 1 te S. The millions of Israelites
render praise and thanks te the Almighty
that He redeemed our fathers from Egyp
tian bondage, led them from slavery te
liberty, from night te light, from moral
and political death te the pinuacle of
moral influence aud national importance.
The day when the first free natieu en the
records of history was born is highly im
portant te every friend of humanity ; and
this day was the 15th of Nissau, 14S2, B.
C. This day is the first of the Feast of
Passover. A nation, suffering for centu
ries the wrongs inflicted en it by a despotic
and unjust dynasty of kings, rises against;
its oppressors by diviue command ; liberty
and justice triumph for the first time in
history, injustice and despotism are duly
punished ; this is the cause of the Pass
over Feast ; as such it is a feast of liberty
and humanity.
The nation which should bring te man
kind the three most impertaut pillars of
civilization religion, morals and laws
was born the 15th day of Nissan, 1492, B.
C, was wrested from the tyraut's iron
embrace te become the baunor-bearer of a
diviue message te mankind; was saved
from the glowing embrace of slavery te
proclaim te the weild the rights of man,
the image of Ged; was elevated from the
dust te overthrew the idols aud their
altars, the hierarchy iu heaven and en
earth; the despotism of the kings aud
priests aud the iron fate of the gods, aud
set iu place thereof the significant aud
prolific terms, "Ged, understanding, jus
tice aud liberty." This day is the Passach
feast of Israel, a day impertaut te all mau
kind.
And since then (33 centuries have
elapsed), Israel, faithful te its vocation,
has' told every Passach night the story of
liberty and independence, the story of
justice and humauity, te its attentive chil
dren, and still tells the name htery ; but
mankind would net listen te it. When
oppression and violence ruled supreme, the
Israelite barred his deer and closed bis
windows and related iu secreb te his chil
dren the grand story of liberty, justice
and equality, his message te mankind, aud
felt that the time must come wheu tbe
nations would listcu te his long told story,
cast off their idols of silver and their idols
of geld, their priests und their despots
("Ged aloue be exalted that day I") and
learn te appreciate the message of justice,
liberty aud piety,
Among the millions of humau beings
there are but few who comprehend aud
appreciate this message ; the rest are yet
enslaved. Therefore, go en. Israel, aud
reiterate thy old story of redemption, of
justice and liberty until they all listen,
" And the glory of Ged be revealed, and
all llesh together see that the mouth of
the Lord spake." Ge en and tell it te thy
83ns that it be net forgotten that Ged in
terfered in behalf of justice, liberty and
humanity ; that all mankind may see it
and be redeemed. Ge en and tell thy
children : " That overy mau must con
sider himself, as well as he would have
gene out from Egypt."
