rFEOM OUE sixcial commissioner.)
Erie, February 20. An inter-State jug
line, with a stop-over at Erie city for a
change of jugs, is one of the encouraging
commercial possibilities of prohibition in
Pennsylvania. Some person1! here who
doubt the future efficacy of a Constitutional
amendment, fear that if it is adopted on
June 18, such a crockery line would be
surveyed figuratively speaking on the
morning of the 19th mst
That a line of this description would not
be altogether imaginary, people acquainted
with the geography of Northwestern Penn
sylvania must admit. Laying it out on
paper now makes it look perfectly feasible.
It seems to be a popular amusement to put
in the time this wayin Erie when frozen in
by a lake blizzard. Taking down the map
of the State, the jug-line builder will show
you that of the four corners of Pennsyl
vania, the one in Erie county would be
most exposed to whisky smuggling if prohi
bition becomes law. A barrier of moun
tains protects Greene county more or less
from "West Virginia's lawlessness; the Dela
ware Bay separates the county of that name
in this State from New Jersey; and far in
the north, "Wayne county has only New
York to contend with.
SUBKOUJfDED BY DEVILS.
But Erie county will have three tempters.
New York will offer her whisky, Ohio will
send her beer, and Canada might ship both
liquors 40 miles across the lake to her har
bor. Under those circumstances it might
be hard for Erie to keep sober, even if she
did want to obey the State Constitution. I
mutilated one of these maps in order to get
that portion showing Erie county's outline.
Here it is:
.ERIE COU2fTT'S rOSITICKJ- BOUNDED ON THE EAST BY KETT YORK, ON THE "WXST
BY OHIO, AND ON THE NORTH BY THE LAKE.
HER DILESIMA.
Erie county jutting far northward beyond
the straight boundary line of the State, and
being in the extreme northwest corner, has
a peculiar and unprotected position. New
York forms its southwest corner deep in
Erie county forests, and Ohio's hill's could
be brought within the same range of view
by a powerful glass. Lake Erie chops the
county off diagonally, and skirting the lake
shore, grand trunk railroads use Erie coun
ty for a near cross-cut of less than 50 miles
between New York and Ohio. Erie City is
very nearly in the center of this cross-cut,
and on much the same route would this jug
line be surveyed between New York and
Ohio.
Although this geographical difficulty in
the wav of enforcement of the amendment
is the objection of a considerable number of
people to adopting any other than high li
cense laws, it could hardly be called one of
the principal factors in the campaign.
Other questions seem to have equal weight
in deciding the issue. The county promises
to be one of tbe battle-fields in Western
Pennsylvania in June. A victory will not
be won easily by either side, and with such
a hard-fought battle it will be a pity that
the victors, be they liquor men or prohibi
tionists, will have so little majority that it
will have but little part in a grand aggregate
of majorities in the State at large.
Every phase of the situation here appears
to be full of contradictions. It is in this
way that the uncertainty of the conflict be
comes apparent. There are some astute
politicians in Erie, but I could not find one
who was competent to forecast the result A
count of the votes alone will determine that,
A CONTRADICTORY HISTORY.
Even the history of the county on prohi
bition is a series of contradictions. Just
now the impression is general throughout
the State that Erie county will vote against
the amendment Many of her own resi
dents believe she will, yet here is what
Benjamin "Whitman, one of the ablest and
most unbiased thinkers in town, tells me:
In 1847 when the question of license or no
license was before the people of Erie county,
they gave 2,714 votes for licence and 2,183
against In 1851 when the adoption of the
Maine law was voted on in this State. Erie county
voted 2.767 for the law and only L501 aramst.
In 1S73 in the local option election the county I
voted against license cy on majority, in mat
campaign Erie city stood 2,017 lor license and
K)6 against Corry, our next largest town,
'toted 5bG for license and 319 against The
country districts gave 2,820 against license and
1,708 for.
In a general way, therefore, I should say that
in this election the conuty, outside of the cities
of Erie and Corry, will vote for the amend
ment, proably by a considerable majority. The
two cities will vote against it by a considerable
majority. I do not know how much the rural
lote has Increased since the local option fight
to say whether the townships and boroughs
will be able to outvote the cities or not
The population ot Erie City has increased
very much since the Jpcal option fight
Even in 1880 it had grown to 27,737, and
now it is estimated to be 37,000. The coun
ty's population is between 80.000 and
90,000.
BARLEY AND GRAPES.
The contradictions also extend to the
agricultural vote in Erie county. The past
shows that it has, like the granger vote else-
where, been cast on the side of prohibition.
Yet it has here some peculiarities, found no
where else in the State. Along the shore of
Lake Erie is a climate and soil that are un
rivalled for the production of grapes and
barley. The vineyards so iamous up along
the lake front of New York State begin in
Erie county and skirt the lake in Pennsyl
vania from Harbor creek to the town of
North East. Tons of grapes are shipped
every summer from this region to Buffalo,
New" York and Chicago. There they enter
the domestic markets, but the finest are
pressed into wine at a factory in North East.
The barley belt lies back from the vine
yards, but in no place does it lie farther
than ten miles back from the lake shore.
From 1,400 bushels in 1841 the barley crop
of Erie county has increased now to nearly
400,000 bushels annually; and where, in
1841, the whole barley crop went begging at
31 cents per bushel, it now readily brings
78 and 80 cents per bushel. It is known all
over the United States as the best, and from
their barley crop the farmers of Erie county
realize 300,000 every year.
Four large breweries in Erie deal with
thee farmers, and much of the crop of bar
ley goes into 'liquor production elsewhere.
Yet I find it to be a fact that perhaps half
of the bailey and grape growers are Consti
tutional amendment aanerenis, ana wui
vote for it. "Why, up in the neighborhood
of North East, where the wine presses are,
the niaiontv of the neonle sign remon
strances against licenses being granted for
the sale of liquor. But the number or votes
influenced in June by the barley and grape
culture will affect the result some.
DEMOCRATS REVENGEFUL.
Even the political side issues are mixed
up in Erie. I met more Democrats here
who will rote for the amendmpnt than Re
publicans. A Democratic journalist said
to me:
I wonld not be surprised to see Eric county
give a small majority for tbe amendment. A
great many Democrats feel sore over the treat
ment the have had hero at the hands of the
liquor interests. Tbey bave been compelled to
bear the odium of being the friends of whisky
men, yet tbey bave been slaughtered by tho
same liquor men. It is much tbe same feeling
that prevails all over tbe country am one Dem
ocrats, that the liquor vote, which elect
ed HM in New York defeated
Cleveland for President. This feel
ing bas been intensified in this
State by tbe knowledge of tbe Philadelphia
brewers' $100.000 contribution to Matt Quay's
campaign fund to elect Harrison. Aside from
political questions, I believe tbe vote in Erie's
country districts will offset tbe liquor majority
in Erie and Corry cities.
A Democratic physician said:
Tbe municipal elections in Erie city yester
day will have mucn to do with the Constitu
tional amendment in June. If it is found that
tbe liquor men cut the Democratic candidates.
Constitutional amendment will be adopted by
Eric county. In any event 40 per cent of tbe
.Democrats in .tne county wm vote lor proniDi
tion and if the liquor men are found to bavo
voted with Republicans in the local elections,
60 per cent of the Democratic vote will be cast
against them in June.
A E. Sisson, Esq., District Attorney,
said:
The result is uncertain, and for whoever wins,
the majority will be very small. Fifty per cent
of the Republicans 'Bill vote against the
amendment in Erie city, and 25 per cent of
tbcm in the country districts. Usuall the total
vote of the townships and boroughs is greater
than that in Erie city and Corry; but with tbe
prospects of a light vote among farmers on ac
count of June being their busy season and a
liheral tendency among some of them, it
promises to be very close this time.
COKFLICimO INTERESTS.
Out of 242 applications for liquor licenses
now filed with tbe courts, at least 225 are
for saloons and hotels in Erie city. There
is a large German population here, and beer
is a requisite among them. Lake sailors
would probably take Cleveland or Buffalo
in preference to Erie even in the smallest
trade, if unable to get their rum here. The
Brooks law has not been a success here, but
a very few licenses having been refused
since it went into operation.
The county's lake front is a series of
summer resorts familiar to Pittsburg'.
"Would'nt it be pretty hard work to enforce
prohibition with the Duquesne Greys
("Heavies") at Massassauga Point, the
Johnny Robinson Rod and Gun Club in
camp near Four Mile Creek, the Grove
Hotel full of drummers off on a holiday,
and the New Brighton Glass Makers in
camp annually at Cascade Blufi? And
what would the boys do when they run over
to "Arie" for a day lrom the camps if there
were no saloons there?
Lastly, there seems to be no uncertainty in
the methods of work adopted by the tem
perance people. They have called a county
convention for "Washington's Birthday, and
when one of the Erie Herald's reporters
asked for a copy of the call he got this an
swer from one of the leaders:
"I am not at liberty to give a list of the names
on the calL There are nine names from the
city of Corry and the list is beaded by Isaac
Colcgrove, the ex-Mayor of tho city, and tho
other names are equally prominent There are
also nine names from North East and nine
from Girard."
"How do the city ministers stand in the mat
ter of calling the convention?"
"The city ministers are in .favor of the con
vention, although I am informed that some of
them think that high license is preferable to
prohibition till there is a general prohibition in
the United States."
"Are the Catholic clergy interested in the
call?"
'No, they are not Some of .those who are in
terested in tne matter wanted to include the
Catholic clergymen and send a committee to
wait on them and get them to come as citizens,
as we all are, and take part in the deliberations
of the convention, but it was suggested that
thev might refuse."
"With whom did this movement start?"
"We have been keeping it out of tbe hands
of the fanatical element in tbe Woman's
Christian Union and away from the active Pro
hibitionists. We will get Mrs. Mary T. Lath
rop, of Wisconsin, and that well-Known and
talented lady will come here in April and give
Erie county four nights. This time will be di
vided between Erie, Corry, Miles Grove and
Edinboro."
Judge Gunnison, J. F. Downing, W. W.
Eeed. T. F. Noble and W. W. "Wade re
cently told reporters they believed the liquor
men would carry the county, some of them
predicting as high as 2,500 majority against
the amendment L. E. Stofiel.
THE WOOD STREET WRECK.
!
Chief Blgelow Will Try to Dispose of the
Debris To-Dny.
The debris taken from the fallen buildings
at the "Wood street disaster will be sold at
public sale, on the Monongahela wharf, at
10 o'clock this morning. At the time of the
wreck the mass of brick, wood and other
debris was piled temporarily on the wharf.
Chief Bigelow has repeatedly ordered the
parties interested to remove the stuff, as in
case of a big flood it would be very danger
ous. The owners have paid no attention to
his command and he will try and sell all
the stuff.
Tbe Yorktown All Rlcbt.
Captain Steel, of Cramp & Sons, returned
to the city last night The Captain had
charge of the trial trip of the Yorkto wn, and
he said the boat stood all the tests. The
Government might condemn the Thurlow
gun, but the Yorktown is all right
HOW HE WAS SACKED.
Bather Than Withdraw lord Sack
ville Premier Salisbury Was
WILLING TO SEE HIM DISMISSED.
He Vigorously Protested That Private
Epistles Should Have
NOTHING TO DO WITH DIPLOMACY.
Bayard Eeplied Warmly, Beading tho Eiot Act
the British Tcer.
President Cleveland has transmitted all
of the official correspondence concerning
the dismissal of Minister "West to Congress.
Letters of Bayard to Sackville, Minister
Phelps and Premier Salisbury are given.
The latter at first intimated that the dis
missal would be acceptable. Later he com
mented on the action in somewhat forcible
terms. Bayard replied in kind.
"Washington, February 20. The Presi
dent to-day sent to Congress all the corres
pondence which has taken place between
this Government and the Government of
Great Britain in regard to the dismissal of
Lord Sackville "West, as Minister of Great
Britain to the United States. -The Presi
dent's letter of transmittal is a purely formal
communication. The corresDondence opens
with a copy of the now famous Murchison
letter and Lord Sackville's reply thereto.
On October 25 Secretary Bayard, in a
telegram, directed Minister Phelps to invite
Lord Salisbury's attention to the Murchison
letter, and to express the confident reliance
of this Government upon the action of Her
Majesty's Government in the matter. On
the following day Secretary Bayard .tele
graphed to Minister Phelps that Mr. "West's
usefulness in this country was at an end;
that a strong public sentiment had been
aroused, and that Lord Salisbury should be
permitted as speedily as possible to under
stand, too, the necessity of immediate action.
THE SALISBURY IDEA.
Under date of October 28, Minister Phelps
telegraphs to Secretary Bayard thai; Lord
Salisbury declined to act until in receipt of
the precipe language of Lord Sackville and
his explanation. Lord Salisbury did not
regard the Minister s letter alone as suffi
cient to warrant his recall, thus ending his
diplomatic career, which would not neces
sarily be the case if he were dismissed by
the Government of the United States, for
which course there were precedents.
Mr. Phelps states that there will be long
delays with no decisive result if dependence
is placed on tbe movement of the British
Government, and advises that action be
taken upon the intimation of Lord Salis
bury. The correspondence then gives the
report of Secretary Bayard to the Presi
dent on the conductof Lord Sackville, here
tofore published. Under date of October
30, Mr. Bayard wrote to Lord Sackville as
follows:
The President of the United States has In
structed mo to inform you that for good and
sufficient causes, which are known to yourself,
and have been duly brought to the knowledge
of your Government ho has with great regret
become convinced that it would be incompati
ble with tbe best interests and detrimental to
the good relations of both Governments that
you should any longer hold your present official
position in the United States.
BAYARD'S EDICT.
Accordingly the Government of Her Brit
annic Majesty will without delay be informed
of this determination, in order that another
channel may be established for the transmis
sion of such communications as may be found
desirable by the two Governments in the trans
action of their business. Whenever it is your
pleasure to depart irom tne unitea estates I am
instructed to furnish you with tbe usual facili
ties, and with that view I now beg leave to
inclose a passport in the customary form.
On the same day Lord Sackville replied
to Mr. Bayard, acknowledging the receipt
of his letter. Under date ot October 31,
Secretary Bayard communicated to Minister
Phelps, giving a statement of the Murchison
correspondence, and says:
Such an answer to such a letter can only be
characterized as a gross breach of diplomatic
privilege and decorum, and an unjustifiable
-abuse of his Lordship's position here as tbe ac
credited representative of a friendly power.
He dangerously invaded the exclusive
sovereignty of this country over its own citi
zens and its affairs of the deepest moment
On November 1 Lord Salisbury asked for
more definite information in regard to what
Minister "West has done, and says he cannot
take action until he receives fuller particu
lars. On December 5 Mr. Phelps forwarded
to Secretary Bayard a copy of a note to
Lord Salisbury in which he transmitted
copies of the MurcLison correspondence and
newspaper interviews. Mr. Phelps 6aid
that both the correspondence and the inter
view appeared to the Government of the
United States to constitute a very grave and
unprovoked affront by Lord Sackville "to the
President and the Senate.
NO ACTION BY ENGLAND.
Lord Salisbury replied to Mr. Phelps, De
cember 24, saying that he had referred the
above mentioned letter to Lord Sackville.
Lord Salisbury said:
The action of the United States Government
has rendered tbe copies of letters and inter
views transmitted by Mr. Fhelps of no prac
tical importance, as they were wanted to en
able Her Majesty's Government to form a
judgment on tbe complaint It is, of course
open to any government on its own responsi
bility, suddenly to terminate its diplomatic
relations with any other State, or with any par
ticular minister of any other State. But it has
no claim to aemana tnat the other State shall
make itself the instrument of that
at proceeding
is satisfied by
or concur in it unless that State
reasons, duly produced, of the justice of the
grounds on which the demand is made.
What view Her Majesty's Government would
have taken of Lord Sackville's action If the
President of the United States had laid before
them "crave and weighty reasons" for his re
moval, it would be superfluous now to consider.
Private communications made by an ambassa
dor in good faith have never, I believe, before
been made the subject of international com
plaints, and considerable doubt seems to rest
upon the precise purport of the more public
statements made by Lord Sackville to the
newspaper reporters. But these were fair mat
ters for examination and discussion, if anysuch
discussion had been desired. It is sufficient
under existing circumstances to say that thero
was nothing in Lord Sackville's conduct to jus
tify so striking a departure from the circum
spect and deliberate procedure by which in
in such cases it is the usage of friendly States
to mark their consideration for each other.
I will abstain! from comment upon tbe con
siderations not of an international character.

to which I infer as having dictated the action
of the President I will only join with the
Government of the United States in express
ing ray regret that a personal incident ot this
character should have in any degree qualified
the harmony which for a long time past the en
during sympathy of the two nations has im
pressed upon the mutual relations of their
Governments.
OUR VALIANT SECRETARY.
The correspondence closes with a letter
from Mr. Bayard to Mr. Phelps, dated Jan
uary 30, 1889, acknowledging the receipt of
the reply of the Marquis of Salisbury to
Mr. Phelps" note in relation to the case of
Lord Sackville. Secretary Bayard, in this
letter, states fully the views of this Govern
ment in respect to the grounds of Lord
Sackville's dismissal. He quotes liberally
from the Murchison letter, and sharply
criticises the reply of Lord Sackville. He
says:
Tho correspondence not only constituted an
unprecedented interference in our domestic
politics, but it contained gross impugnments of
tbe President's public action. Hence, had the
objectionable conduct of Lord Sackville ended
with his reply to the Murchison letter tho situ
ation would have been sufficiently serious, but
in various statements made by him to repre
sentatives of the public press tbe impugnments
of the action of this Government wore empha
sized. The Secretary then proceeds to the con
sideration oi tbe Marquis of Salisbury's
note laying down the rule which, in his
opinion, governs the dismissal of diplomatic
agents, and says:
The offense of Lord Sackville consisted In
personal misconduct wholly inconsistent with
his official duty and relations, of which no sug.
gestion of approval by his Government has yet
been intimated.
SACKVILLE'S OFFENSE.
Thus the present issue is not whether it is
requisite that a sovereign power asking the
recall of a foreign Minister should give the rea
sons for the application, but whether when, as
in the present case, such recall has been asked
on the ground of interference in the politics of
tho country to which he is accredited, the ques
tion of tho culpability or degree of such inter
ference is to be left not to the decision of tbe
offended sovereign, but to tho determination
of the sovereign by whom tho offending Minis
ter was accredited.
An envoy is intended to be a confidentially
intermediary between the governments profes
sing friendly relations, and reliance upon his
good faith is the best assurance of continued
amity and cood understanding will be found.
It cannot, therefore, be Justly regarded as a
caue of international offense to request the
recall of an envoy whenever His discovered
that his conduct has been such as to unsettle
the confidence of the receiving government
nor for that government to dismiss him when
ever in its judgment circumstances have arisen,
owing to his misconduct, which endanger its
own safety and welfare, or tend to jeopardize
the good relations of the two governments.

Will offer this week. They are in the store to spealfor themselves and
the price tags on every article and garment offered speak far more elo
quently than anything that can be said in cold type. They are silent
witnesses to what can be truly said to be the most sensational slaughter
of prices ever known.
We've Poshed Prices Down to a Point
That must meet with the approval and patronage of the poorest as well
as the richest person in the country.
. THIS WEEK!!! IS THE WATCHWORD OF THE WISE!
THIS WEEK!!! IS THE BANNER OF THE PRUDENT!
The phenomenally low prices we're naming Vill find a responsive
chord in every bargain seeker's heart. Everything we offer is at a figure
which is a challenge to any or all other dealers of this city to come
within 25 per cent of it. Every bargain we have for you is "catching"
enough to make a thousand people want the same thing.
IF YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR LOWEST PRICES,
IS YOUR TIM!
You will find high standard value in everything but price. Now, don't
you pay any attention to what others advertise that is if they say
they undersell us. Don't spend a single dolIaT until you've
