THBBB are 820 delegates in the
Chicago Convention, making 411 a
majority necessary to make a nomi
nation.
THE mother of General Sheridan
died at her home in Ohio last week.
The General himself is improving in
health.
IT is calculated that it will take
fowdays to do the work of tha Chi
sago Republicsn National Conven
tion. This will end with to day,
Friday.
—We are invited to be present at
the reunion of the 105 th Pennsylva
nia Regiment at Gettysburg, and the
deaieaiion of that Regiment's monu
ment on the grounds on Monday,
Jaly 3d, 1888.
—Who Was It? The Pittsburg
Com-Gazette'* correspondent from
Chicago, of Monday last, says of a
delegate as follows: "One delegate
from a county adjoining Allegheny
promised ten friends to secure them
tichets, and on the strength ot this
they came to Chicago. He can get
hat three tickets, despite the most
soal-stirring appeals, and now be has
seven enemies upon his hands, where
before to-night he had seven friends."
I* the early days of the Republic
aominationa for the Presidency were
made by members of Congress, who
aamed the candidates for their differ
•at psrties to support. The last of
thaas wss in 1824, after which, com
■racing with General Jackson, Na
tioaal Conventions in some shape be
gaa to be held.
HEBE is what Mr. Randall says of
labor and free trade. Every Demo
crat should study it: "While a dol
lar may buy mors in another country
than here, a day's labor, which is the
crucial test, will exchange for more of
the necessaries and comforts of life
bare than anywhere else. Under
free trade this advantage which ac
eraas to labor wonld disappear, for no
industrial systems, with labor in one
receiving doable tbe wages of labor
la tbe otber, could long exist with
free trade between ibem."
Tired oflt on First Trial.
Tbe new system of nominating for
Congress in tbia district proved such
a failure that tbe late New CasMe
Convention before it adjourned paus
ed a resolution recommending tbe
popular vote system instead. Aa was
predicted, the system of having dele
g*t?s in equal numbers from each of
tbe four counties proyed but little
better than tbe old Couferree system.
And so long as tbe idea of tbe equal
ity of countu-g ia kept up in anj dis
trict this must be tbe result It is
tree tbe late nomination for Congress
ia tbia district waa made by a break
ofoneofthe Lawrence County dele
gates from tbe body of the other dele
gates of that County. But he was
boldly charged with selling his vote
for a price. Whether this be true or
not we do not know. Oae thing is
clear however, and tbat is, he
was tbe only man of tbe whole sixty
that seemed to hare a conception of
tbe true intent and meaning of the
aew system; to-wit, by voting by •dis
tricts and not bv couoties. Hut this
did not and will not save bun from the
charge made of beiug unuith ful to
bis county. The charge is tbe out
growth of keeping up the "county
eqeality" principle.
When the effort commenced last
(all to get away from tbe Conferree
eystcni and having anew one in this
district, it was with the view of ob
taining the popular vote system, pure
and aimple. And now aa it has been
reonmended by tbe first district con
vention tbat assembled under the
preaent plan, we presume measures
Will be taken, by all tbe County Com
mitters of tbe four counties, to make
provision for district nominatious by
tbe popular voto, and tbis in time be
fore another nomination comes on to I
ho made.
The Chirac Convention.
OPENED ON TUESDAY, AND
STILL IN SESSION.
Gen. John C. Fremont Present,
Also Frederick Douglass,
And Other Distinguish
ed Men.
The Republican National Conven
tion at Chicago opened on Tuesday
and was called to order by the selec
tion of Judge Thurston of Nebraska
as temporary chairman, who made a
brilliant speech on the occasion, as
did also Mr. B F. Jones of Pittsburg
on calling the Convention to order.
Gen. John C. Fremont, the first
Republican candidate for President,
in 1855, was present and by invita
tion addressed the Convention in a
speech full of wisdom and patriotism
Frederick Douglass, the celebrated
colored orator, was also present and
being introduced also addressed the
Convention in behalf of hia race. A
resolution sending greetings to Gen.
Sheridan on the improvement of his
health was passed by the Convention
by a rising vote.
Contests arising from disputed
seats from the State of Virginia the
first day closed without the Conven
tion being tully organized, and ad
journed to Wednesday.
Senator Quay was chosen to repre
sent Pennsylvania on the next Na
tional Committee.
WEDNESDAY—SECOND DAY.
Convention re-assembled at 12 M
and Hon. M. M. Estee, of California,
was chosen permanent Chairman and
made a brief address.
The New York delegates have
united in presenting Chauncey M.
Depew to the Convention, which
makes his nomination possible.
Hon. William McKinley of Ohio is
the most prominent and possible
"dark horse" spoken of at Chicago.
Blaine's name will not be present
ed to the Convention, and his nomin
ation can take place only in the event
of a complete deadlock, and then by
general consent. This is possible but
not probable. There is a strong un
dercurrent, however, for him, which
may break out in the Convention at
any time.
NIGHT SESSION—WEDNESDAY.
A night session was held and the
Committee of Credentials reported iu
the Virginia case, admitting to seat*
a majority of the Wise delegates over
the Mabone ones. OQ a vote taken
the report was approved by tbe Con
vention, by 512 for, to 250 against.
The above vote would seem to in
dicate tbe streDght of John Sherman
in tbe Convention, and that he cannot
be nominated Mabone and bis dele
gation are for Sherman and the Wise
men for some other man.
The rnleß adopted by tbe Conven
tion will prevent any stampede dur
ing roll call for any candidate.
NO BALLOT TAKEN.
As we go to press at this, Thurs
day noon, we have to do BO without
being able to give our readers the re
suit of a first ballot as we had hoped
Tbe presenting of candidates to tbe
Convention, speeches in their favor,
and a ballot will be taken this Thurs
day afternoon —and nominees may be
obtained Friday or Saturday. The
platform has first to be adopted.
Germany's Second Emperor
Dead.
Germany loses another King and
Emperor. Only on March Bth last
King William died. And now his
son, Frederick 111 who succeeded
him to the throne, is also dead. Thus
within little more than three months
does Germany bury two Kings of
Prussia and Emperort of all Germany
father and son.
Frederick came into power afflicted
with a disease which it was thought
wonld soon eat away his life. It was
cancer in tbe throat, and somewhat
Bimilar to that of which General
Grant died.
He in turn is succeeded by hia son,
William, wbo assumes the title of
William 11. Ho is a joung man,
represented as being crippled in one
arm and unlike both hia father Fred
erick and grandfather William in
character and disposition. He is said
to be rather warlike in his feelings
towards France and ambitiouß for
name and fame generally. Hence it
it predicted that peace in Europe may
not last long.
Another notable thing in Gorinany
now iB that she has two Queen Dow
agers—that is two widows of Kings;
who after the deaths of their hus
bands receive a large dowery per
year, and beuce called Queen Dow
age™.
The widows of both William I and
Frederick 111 are living The latter
is the oldest daughter of Queen Vic
toria of England, and if Prince Albert
and her other brothers should happen
to die before she does then she would
also become Queen of England, or
Great Britain rather, as well as being
a Qneen Dowager of Germany.
A Glean Campaign.
In tbe approaching political cam
paign it will behoove those who take
an actiye part, either on the stump or
through the press, to reflect whether
it is good policy, not to mention good
manners, to make it a campaign of
personal abuse and vituperation
Such a course irritates many and
makes them zealous workers for the
person abused. It gives offense also
to many who are hesitating wlure to
cast their votes. They think it is a
bad cause which needs such means
to push it and are swerved to the
other siJe. It is totally uncalled for
in a contest which puts directly in
issue opposiug theories on purely eco
noinical questions. It is not
worthy of a people claiming
to be trnly civilized
It creates personal animosities be
tween jHJople who are not office
holders or seekers, and who have no
interest in parties save as they con
cern the general welfare. The public
men hubitually given to bitter invec
tive are not the men most valued for
judgement, and lesser men need not
think they are helping a cause by bil
lingsgate. I jet us, if possible, have a
clean and decent fight It will be
warm enough and teuacious enough
without any resort to blackguardism.

Of the States classed as doubtful,

But they are all really doubtful.
The Democrats cannot elect the
next President without carrying New

other doubtful States and lose New
York they would still lack 18 votes of
enough. Or, if they should carry
New York and lose the other doubt
ful States they would fall 12 votes

The Cost of School Books.
The discussion of the bill recently j
passed by the Ohio legislature to 1
have a uuiformity of school books
throughout the state, and to have the
books published uuder contract, j
brought out some interesting facts l
in reference tc the cost of school
books, Spelling books that retail !
from 18 ceuts to 25 cents each can be
furnished in lots of 200,000 at j
cents apiece. Readers which cost f.n
an ayerage 54 cents per copy at retail,
can be had iu same number as spell-j
ers for 14 cents per copy. Arithme- •
tics uow selling at GO cents, wili cost |
in large iots 17 cents. Geographies
that retail at $1.40, under the propos
ed plan will cost but 20| cents.
Grampiars that now cost 76 cents
will be furnished at 18 cents, and his
tories which retail iu Ohio now at
$1.17 can be furnished under contract
for 25i cents. These figures are not
mere guess work, but bids made bv
responsible printers to get the woik.
The secret of maintaining these high
prices is that parents, under the law,
must buy that and no other. A book
of poems nicely priuted, and contact
ing SWO pages, can be bought f« r 35
cents and a school book of the same
size costs from $1 25 -to $1,50. —Ex-
Pensions of Soldiers' Widows.
Congress has ju.st enacted that
pensions heretofore or hereafter grant
ed to widows of soldiers of the War
of the Rebellion shall commence at
the date of tbe death of their hus
bands. This legislation favorably af
fects all claims of widows of the late
war which have been filed in the Pen
sion Oflice cn or after July 1. 1880,
and which have b'jen allowed to com
mence from the date of filing the
claims, but will not favorably affect
tbe cases of sueh widows a* were filed
before July 1, 1880, and which have
been allowed, pension having already
been granted in those cases from the
date of their hunbands' death. The
Commissioner of Pensions gives notice
that in the settlement of claims under
this law already allowed, no formal
application will be required, and that
the services of attorneys will not be
necessary. Widows entitled under
said law need only write a letter giv
ing name, postoflice address and cer
tificate numbers, and the claims will
be allowed with as little delay as
practicable.
A Child's Long Journey.
Maggie Wells, aged 11 years,roarb

Judge Agnew on the Tariff.
A large audience Thursday week
• gathered in the handsome flower-be
j decked assembly room of the Young
Mens Republican Tariff club, ou
j Smithfield street, Pit*sburgb, to listen
, to an address delivered by linn Dan
| iel Agnew. ex chief justice of tbe Su
' preme coart of Pennsylvania, on the
| subject of ' Protection of American
Labor and Industry.'' Not the least
noticeable feature of the gatharia -
: was the number of ladies present, who
patiently waited until nearly nice
o'clock, when the meeting was called
|to order by President Mc Furl and,
who with a few well-chosen words of
introduction presented the speaker of
I the evening. Mr. Agnew, in begin
j ning his address, said:
"Tbe address was written to exhib-
I it the absolute dependence of the far
| mer upon protection. Order is said
! to be Heaven's first law. Men arc
| found under separate governments,
j Nations being separate they have by
i natural necessity rights and privileg
| es. These are determined bv the
j countries they inhabit. Nature con-
Sues to some only a few of her prod-
I ucts, while to others she has opened
| the storehouse of her wealth. Such
j being the order of Providence, nations
own by rigb f , and r.oae except by
| force. If any nation tries to rob us of
! our land or industries, we fight tbe
j first with arms and the other with
; counter legislation. In applying
! these principles to our own country,
we must consider our own abilities.
Our couutry is continental, and its
boundaries embrace the products of
I every zone. It possesses all of the
arts, and by its wealth carries for
tunes to the pinnacle of prosperity.
Our country needs to be protected to
make the people happy. Therefore
self protection is our bounden duty.
But how is protection to be obtained?
The products of the earth beiug man
ifold" the first to be considered is tLe ;
farmer. He must be the first protect-!
ed. llow is he to be protected? To
produce abundantly he must live
comfortably; he must have the imple
ments which cheapen labor and in
crease production; he must have me
chanics and manufacturers to make
these implements for him, so that He
may enjoy the comforts of life. Pro
tection consists in protecting all the
arts and industries which furnisu him
with the necessaries of life. The fur
rner is dependent on his country men,
and they on him. When they suller
he sutlers also. But there is another
way of stating proofs; that is the mar
ket Where is it? All around him.
Who consumes his products? With
out all the callings of life what be
comes of nil his work? Without his
countrymen around him ho receives
no market. Let them become poor
and so does he, for he sells less. Now
what composes a ton of iron? The
materials in it do not consist of one
tenth of it. Tbe rest is labor. There
are first the men who dig the coal
aud the ore, thea, are the men aod
teams that haul them to tbe furnace,
aud then the laborers at the furnace
who make the iron. Who furnishes
the supplies to aid the laborer? The
farmer. His butter, eggs, meat, etc ,
are all bought by the laborer for his
subsistence All these are found in
that ton of iron. Now change the
scene to Eogland. The labor and
material produced there are imported
here in the shape of iron. ■ What, of
the firmer? His place is supplied by
England. To him the ton is lost; it
is lost to home labor aud its products.
The free trader looks at the ton lying
upon the wharf, aud thinks how uice
and free from duty. He does not see
that the ton is lost to the farmer, me
chanic and laborer. Then lay the
English ton beside the American ton
Then yon see that it reduces the
Amer.cari ton, and deprives it of giv
ing a comfortable living to the farmer
and mechanic When the home mar
ket is protected the importer must pay
duty in order to take partin the sales.
Free trade has no right to take from
us the bounteous gifts showered upon
us bythe providenceof (iod.The iron is
an example only. The same is true
of everything else. Take a ton of wool
and follow it through all the processes
uutil it again reaches tbe farmer who
produced it. His market is still
among his countrymen, and if tbey
arewithout protection their loss is shar
ed by him. The farmer may well say:
'I live by my countrymen, and if they
are injured I am hurt.' Clearly the
American manufacturer has no right |
to aid his busiuess at the expense of
his workmen. Tbey. tbe capitalists,
furnish the market for mechanical la
bor, and if they are protected they
can employ. But what would a me
chanic think of protection which
would wreck the man who employs
him? The only true policy is to pro- j
tect both. Tbe Cobdcn club and the j
importer use the same reasons for sd
vocating free trad", and both send out
false statements to deceive the Amer
ican. What American would re
nounce the blessings be has had be
stowed? What man would sacrifice
his country to enrich a foreign coun
try? Let them drive out this British
monster, fre-j trade."
Blaine Gathering Flowers.
LONDON, June 15. —The Blaine
party arrived at Arkern yesterday
after perhaps the pleasantest dav of
the tour, as far as weather conditions
are concerned.
When spoken to about politics Mr.
Blaine would have nothing to say.
He remarked, however, Le bad seeu
the Ti.nvn dispatch indicating that a
very strong movement is on foot to
nominate him by acclamation on the
meeting of the convention, but has
nothing to say regarding the matter.
It would have been an edifying
sight for the gentlemen who at pres
ent are doubtless rhaking the corri
dors of the Chieago hotels echo with
their politieal palaver to have seen
their chief yesterday aftern > m gath
ering flowers and making them up in
to wreathes and nosegays in the cas
tle grounds at Tickhill
The 17-year Locusts.
Dispatches from points in Northern
lowa and Western Illinois report:; the
appearauce of swarms of the 17 year
locusts. Prof. Riley, the United
States entomologist, who is at pres
ent in Chicago, wheu asked about the
locusts said that a well known brood
occurs thi year, and this periodical
visitor may be looked for iu wooded
portions of Illinois and lowa, and
also, a indicated by the experience of
IS7I, in portions of Wisconsin, lowa,
Indiana and Michigan and in the
Southeast by the eastern portion of
Lancaster county, I'a , known as the
Pequea Valley, The last named lo
cality was not verified in 1871, al
though there is no doubt of the ap
pearance of the insect in immense
numbers there in 1854.

The Dubois Firs.
Fire broke out iu Biker II use
near the 1> 11. A P., depot, in Dubois,
last Monday afternoon, and rapidly
spread o\t.-r almost the entire town
Dubois was a town of 7 000 people
aud was largely built of wood, al
though many brick buildings re
interspersed among the r'ore inflara
niuble sti ict ires. It hdno ap >ara ;
tua to oppose a fire, except a fe.v wa
ter-mains ou L"»ng and Courtney
streets, and these had no adequate
hose and no machines of aly kind.
A strong wind prevailed at, the time
the fire was discovered, ami o 'lore
people could realize the sitn ui >n
sparks had been blowa from poiut to
point, and, lighting on the wooden
buildings, which were as dry as pow
der the intensely-ho' sun, kindled the
flames in all directions.
Long street from the Rocheslej
Coal Company's store to the top of
the of the hill exends about a mile,
and it is cleared its entire length ex
cept eight or ten houses at the ex
treme east end. Weber avenue is all
burned, as is also Courtney street
from Long street to the Terpe House
corner. The Terpe House was saved.
Railroad street is a complete ruin.
Stockdale street likewise. The terri
tory covered by tbe fire resembles a
figure 8, beiug over a mile from end
to end, half a mile at the widest parts
and two blocks at the middle. It
covefs the entire business portion of
tbe town except John E. Dußois'
store and the Rochester Company's
store. Two churches, a dozen hotels,
eight drug stores, dry goods stores,
groceries, hardware stores, innumera
ble business places of all kinds aud
several hundred bouses are all gone
in smoke.
That night 3000 people had no roof
above them but the smokey, grimy
sky. Many of these people saved
nothing but tlie clothes on their
backs. Little crowds are huddled to
gether on all the streets leading out
of towa, knowing not where to turn
for a bed cr a breakfast.
About 7 o'clock a fire-engine arriv
ed from Reuovo, but it was too late
to lend auy practical aiJ. The dam
age was thea already done aad the
lire was dying for want of new ground
to work ou. Unreliable reports were
ia circulation to the effect that one or
two persons had perished iu the
flames, b-u', the rumor could not bo
traced to a truthful source. The only
living thing kaowa to have perished
was a horse.
Tuo loss is put by insurance people
at a rouud million, and by others at
sums running from 'ua!f chat amount
up; but it is largely conjecture, for
the people are so excited that they
hardly know what they are doing or
have lost. The insurance is very
light. The companies were afraid
to touch the town on account
of its wooden buildings.
The origin of the fire could not be
determined. Various causes are given,
but the plausible is that a kitchen flue
wits defective.
The business places destroyed num
ber from 150 to 175, besides the resi
dences, and the losses are regarded
larger than at first reported. The
scenes among th<? homeless are piti
ful.
"The Butchers' Well."
Tbe following account is given of
what is known as "The Butchers'
Well," near Bakcrstown, Allegheny
county, not more than two miles from
tbe Butler County line, and which is
creating considerable stir in oil circles
just now. •
Patrick Hannigban, a prosperous
farmer of Highland township, Alle
gheny county, is tbe pioneer of tbe
Bakerstown oil pool. He was a mar
ketmau arid frequently traded with
the Pittsburg butchers. Somo time
ago he became seized of the notion
that there was a pool of oil under his
farm. The nearest oil well, the way
the crow Hies, was eight miles and
his neighbors had little faith iu his
ideas. But he had his theories and
continued to present them to his
butcher fri nds who had money, and to
his neighbors who nad land. Finally
nineteen butchers joined him and they
formed a company, each contributing
sf>oo, making a capital of SIO,OOO.
L ases were secured of the most
promising form until 1,040 acres were
on record for the company. The lat
ter agreed to drill four test wells.
The members had faith that they
would gud oil, but wero utterly sur
prised when the first well yielded
over 100 barrels per day.
Oil was found at 1,725 feet. The
well is believed to be supplied from
the third sand, but many oporaVirs
say it is from the fourth, while others
claim the oil is "30-foot." However,
the oil is beautiful in color, and the
estimated yield of the well is from fif
ty to i ix t y barrels per day.
The National Transit Company
has laid a line from the well to a six
inch liut» about three miles distant.
There are several wells located by
operators not connected with the
Butchers Company. Capt. Grace, once
prominent in the oii trade, paid SSOO
b cms for a twenty five-acre lease,
which he was informed lay within a
quarter ol a mile of the Butchers' well
When he visited the scene he found
his lease to be qhite a mile from the
new producer.
The Butchers are wonderfully elat
ed. They mk $850,000 for their well
and aere* of leases. There have
been many oil producers visiting the
well. 11' the oil is not from the "thir
ty-foot" rock the territory will not
command much bonus, but if it is
third ol fourth sand oil, then tin; But
cher-' boom will he indited.
A Cloud Burst.

splendid pardons are • completely
washed away. In many plaeos the
water in the hou«en ro«e to three feet
in the lower room* The inhabitants
were forced to seek safety on upper
fioor* Both the high arid low pres
sure natural gas mains are broken
where they cross the runs and con
sumers have uo fuel. Refineries were
forced to shut down for the same
cause.
The cause wis a cloud burst on the
hill at the run's source Buildings

moved down stream a*id smashed.
All 'he bridges s wept away and streets
are completely gutted. The residence
of Editor II (J. Bloss. on Oak street,
was struck by lightning and contents
of cellar completely demolished, to
gether with cellar wall. So great and
suddea was the rain storm that llag
rttone pavements were floated bodily

The Dead Emperor.
BERLIN, June It!— When E.nperor
Frederick was dying. besides the
family only Adjt. Gen lviscbe was
a Imitied to the chamber. After four
i o'clock Thursday afternoon the Kn
peror filled numerous sheets of paper
with remarks regarding family and
State affairs.
The new sovereiga calls himself
Emperor William 11 and his cjusort
Empress Victoria Augusta Immedi
ately after d<*ath William placed his
father's Iron Cross aud Order of
Merit decoration ou the chest of the
dead, together with a small gold
chain, to which was attached a num
ber of lockets and charms, and laid his
father's sword by the side of tie body.
Prince Henry brought a wreath of
II jwers, and after the family had kiss
ed the fact- aud feet of the corpse, the
Prince gave his arm to his mother and
led her from the chamber. As soon
as he died the Crowa Prince gave
whimpered orders to two adjutants,
who left the room, and the standard
on the castle was placed at half mast
Another adjutant waved a handker
chief to the sentinel-, and in less than
three minutes Hussars bad galloped
away in all directions, taking possess
ion of every gate and the outer door
of the cattle. In all parts of the park
soldiers were soon conspicious. Strict
instructions were given that nobody
should be permitted to enter or leave
except with fresh cards issued by the
officials. Emperor William 11, has
issued the following general order to
the army: "While the army has only
just discarded the outward signs of
mournings for the Emperor—King
William I, my deeply revered grand
father, whot!e memory will ever live iu
all hearts, it has suffered a fresh and
heavy blow by the death of my dear
and warmly loved father.
"This ia indeed a serioug acd sor
rowful time, iu which God's decree
places me at the head of the army. It
is from a deeply moved heart I address
my first words to my army, but the
I confidence with which I step into the
place to which God's will calls me is
immovably strong, for I know what
sense of honor and duty my glorious
ancestors have implanted iu the army,
and I know in how great a measure
this feeling has at all times been mani
fested in the army. A fi r oi and invio
lable attachment to the war lord is an
inheritance handed d'>w:i from father
to sou, from generation to generation,
and in the same way I refer you to
my grandfather, who stands fresh in
all your memories as the personifica
tion of the glorious and venerable war
lord such as could not be more finely
conceived or in a form more speakiug
to the heart. I refer you to my be
loved father who as Crown Prince al
ready won a place of honor in the an
nals of the army, and to a long line of
glorious ancestors whose names
shine brightly in history, and
whose heart beats warmly for the ar
my. Thus we belong to each other
—1 aud the army. Thus we were
bora for one another, aud thus we
stand together in an indissoluable
bond in peace or storm as God may
will it. You will now take to me
the oath ot fidelity and obedience,
and I swear ever to remember that
the eyes of my ancestors look down
upon tno from the othef world, and
that I shall one day have to render
an net to benefit the glory and honor
of the army.
[Signed] WILLIAM.
Bills Sent.
We are, sending bills to those who
arc in arrears iu their accounts with
the CiTizKJf, and do so because we
wish to improve the paper and need
the money. Those therefore paying
up now will not only be paying a
debt, but paying to improve the paper
they have been reading for years with
out paying for.
YVe hope these bills sent will re
ceive the attention they shuuM. We
arc sending only to those uho are
several years back in their subscrip
tion accounts, and which accounts
they have suffered to run beyond a
reasonable time. Payment of them
now becomes necessary, to enable us
to improve the paper aud pay our
debts.
—The latest from the Bukerstoan
well says she is doing (JO barrels a
day.
—lt is our intention to clothe the
CITIZEN with a dress of new type, as
soon as possible.
—The 17 year locusts and the
grasshoppers threaten to visit certain
places in the West at the same time,
This will more than they feed. Hut
misfortunes never come singly.
—The ludiana, Pa, Mea&enyer
says: The idea that "no license"
makes a dull town, is all fulge. In
diana has not bad a licensed house
"for several years and there never was
a time when more business was trans
acted. Wheu W« had seven licensed
houses at least S4OO per week were
spent for beer and wlmky. That mo
ney is now spent fur the necessaries
of life and many families now have
plenty to eat and good cloilus to
wear who, under license, were half
aud half clothed. Ami the curious
part of it is that our hotel men appear
to thrive as well without license as
they did with it. They have more
satisfaction in conducting their busi
ness and are not harassed by th ; fear
of prosecution aud are not in constant
drttad of a drunken row Lhat will break
up a hundred dollars worth of furni
ture and generally demoralize their
houses. One of our prominent land
lords told us the other day ihat he
1 would rather close his house than
conduct it in connection with a bar.
Aud after an experience of several
years, men who thought they could
not possibly get along without their
daily beer aud whisky, now tiud their
appetite for the fiery liquid gone and
they. too. ure sali.-fkd to livu in a 'no
license' town. All things considered
a town might be struck with some
thing worse than prohibition.
