To Chairmen County Central Commit tees: Whereas. At the republican state con vention held at Lincoln October 5, 1887, the following resolution was adopted: Resolted, That the state central com mittee be instructed to embrace in its call for the next state convention the submis sion of the prohibition question to the re publican voters at the republican pri maries, Therefore, in accordance with the above resolution, the several county ecu tral committees are hereby instructed to include in their call for their next county convention the submission of the prohi bition question to the republican voters at the republican primaries. Geo. D. Meiklejoiix, Chairman. Walt. M. Seeley, Secretary. TnE red bandana will be dyed black after the Gth of November next. It begins to look as if Blaine would yet be nominated with Alger in second place. Tomorrow the great convention meets that will nominate the next president of these United States. The national democratic platform a red bandana handkerchief won't wash, because it will fade. The country that woald be most bene fited by the establishment of low duties or free trade, would be Great Britain. Under our present high duties in the year 1877, the imports, of merchandise from Grent Britain and Ireland amounted to $1(!.".310,G79 while the exports and domestic merchandise from the United States to Great Britain for the same year amounted to $3CC,310.G79, showing tin balance of trade in onr favor amounting to $201,243,230. Whenever we have had a high tariff that remained in force for any lenstli of time the balance of trade has been in our favor, and gold and silver arc brought into this country to pay for the excess of the goods we sell. On the other hand when we are under a low tariff or free trade the balance of trade has been against us, and gold and silver coin is taken out of the country to pay for this balance. The loss of specia to Great Britain during the last twelve years is one of the reasons why ihe is making such desperate efforts to get the present congress to reduce duties. All the panics that have occurrevl in this country have been preceded by a period in which the duties on foreign goods have been reduced, and the balance of trade was turned against us, taking from the country the gold and silver, the foundation of our money. There never tvat a lime in the history of this country, when there has lecn 6o largo an accumu lation of gold and silver in the vault at Washington as there has been during tne present high tariff, and there never wag a time when there was so m'ich money in the country as there is now, and when the rate of intercut was so low, One of the Great advantages to this country of having high duties is that it keeps the money which production costs in tins country, and adds enormously to our national wealth. Keep this in mind and vote for the republican candidate for president whoever he may be, as such a vote is for high tariff and American pro tection. TRUTH AND UNTRUTH. Just in time to contrast with Mr. Wat- terson's manlv frankness on the tariff qustion comes Governor Hill's speech, in which he said, if the St, Louis platform was for free trade, he would not stand on it. The Governor has neycr made any reputation as an honest man in his public career, and it is natural that lie resorts to a deception in his first speech of the campaign. Another democrat unintentionally ut ters a great truth, in declaring that the St. Louis platform is no more for free trade than the republican platform of 1800 was for abolition. Not any more and every democrat who supported Douglas or Urcckcnridge in 1800 declared the republican an abolition party, and its platform an obolition platform. They quoted with .est the profound remark of 3Ir. Lincoln, that the republican party meant to place slavery "where the public mind would rest in the certainty of its ultimate extinction." That i3 exactly what the democrats mean to do with the protective policy. They do not propose to abolish it, by no means. They only intend to cripple and destroy it, part by part, so that "the public mind shall rest in the certainty of its ' ultimate extinc tion." Moreover, the public mind will have the best of reasons for expecting the ultimate and the speedy extinction of the protective system if the democratic party get complete control of the gov eminent. The distinction is proper and the dem ocrats are welcome to it. They do not intend free trade this year. What they vunt is to proceed toward free trade as fast and as far as they can. "Freer trade" now, as Governor Hill puts it; free trade as the ultimate end, Mr, Watterson con fesses. The two democrats fit each other well. To make a dishonest party, they are needed men to tell falsehoods where false hoods pay, and other men to tell the truth where the truth pays best. X Y. Tribune. , The EnglisU Company' Ranch. An Englishman who has been recently vis iting American ranches owned by English men, has this to say about ono of these ranches in The London Economist: "J. round on that ranch a manager drawing a salary of $25,000 a year and an assistant manager drawing a salary of $6,250. Iu addition to this they had spent thousands of pounds ster ling iu worthless improvements, so far, at latst. as the cattle business is concerned. found on that western prairie ranch, located many, many miles from a railroad, servants dressed in red livery, and many other things fully as ridiculous.

The Berlin Ilomceopathio society recently learned that it was the custom of many druggists to put upon homoeopathic prescrip tions merely some simde compound and label it as whatever was wanted. To test this eighty different burlesque prescriptions were written out in Latin and sent to as many different druggists. Seventy-seven out of the eighty swallowed the bait, and put up what purported to be tne oose required oy the bogus prescriptions. The other three sent the prescriptions back, with fie remark that they did not understand them. .New York bun. A Warning. The modes of death's approach are va rious, and statistics show conclusively that more persons die from disease of th hroat and lungs than any other. It is probable that everyone, without excep tion, receives vast numbers of Tubercle Germs into the system and where these germs fall upon suitable soil they start into life and develop, at first slowly and is shown by a slight tickling sensation in the throat and if allowed to continue their ravages they extend to the lungs produc ing Consumption and to the head, caus ing Catarrh. Now all this is dangerous and if allowed to continue will in time cause death. At the onset you must act with promptness; allowing a cold to go without attention is dangerous and may loose you your life. As soon as you feel that something is wrung with your throat, lungs or nostril, obtain a bottle of Bos shee's German Syrup. It will giye you immediate relief. FAMILY WATER SUPPLY. A FRUITFUL SOURCE OF SICKNESS, SUFFERING AND DEATH. Impurltiea Canjjht In Reservoirs for I Lain "Water Mineral . Subutancea Found la Water from AVella 1'olaon from Lead ripes Fouling of a ttural Well. s Pure water is a life giving fluid, imparting health and vigor to all the tissues', while im pure water is one of the most fruitful sources of sickness, suffering and death, shortening the average duration of htunun life by many years. A pure and abundant water supply is therefore an object of the first importance to every family in the city or country. The sources of supply are numerous. Many families depend upon rain water stored in cisterns or other reservoirs. Under favor- ablo conditions this is pure an l wholesome. It is, however, liable to absorb dust, smoke and other impurities in its passage through the atmosphere, especially over smoky cities, and in case of the first shower after a drought. When falling on the wooden roofs of bouses the first ram washes oil the dust and weatherbeat of tiv sUingles, and should be filtered before it enters the cistern. Bet ter still, an automatic arrangement may bo used which will collect the first rainfall in some shallow receptacle, and when this is filled, will turn the pure stream into the cis tern. If then the cistern is divided into two equal parts by a partition of brick laid in cement, so arranged that the water which enters upon ono side of the partition is made to filter through the wall of brick before being drawn off on the other side, the water may bo relied upon as sufficiently clean and pure for ordinary uses. VARIOUS KI.NEIIAL SUBSTANCES. Slost country peoplo depend upon the ground water of springs and shallow wells for their supply. This is liable in its passago through the earth to absorb various mineral substances, the most common and trouble some of which are the salts of lime and mag nesia, which constitute hard water. This requires the use of a largely increased amount of soap in washing, and is therefore much less economical than soft water. In "Glasgow it is estimated that the introduction of soft water in place of hard has diminished the consumption of soap at least one-half. Hard water also produces in many persons derangement of digestion, chronic diarrhoea, gravel and other inorganic deiwslts. One way in which the hardness of water may be lessened is by boiling it. Another method, paradoxical as it may seem, consists in add ing lime, usually in the form of lime water or milk of lime. Both these methods result in breaking up the chemical combinations and precipitating the mineral substances, which should then be removed by filtration. In cities and large towns, the usual source of supply is the surface n'ater of rivers and lakes. This is stored in artificial reservoirs, and distributed throu1! pipes of lead or iron. Where lead pipes are used, either in bringing water from reservoirs or springs, or in pumping it from wells into houses, the lead is gradually dissolved, and a poisonous compound formed, which when drank for a sufficient length of time is liable to produce unpleasant and even dangerous results. Ac cording to Professor Mayr, water containing one part of lead in one million parts of water is sufficient to produce lead colic, wristdrop and other symptoms of acute lead poisoning, while a' much loss quantity may cause irrittv tion of the digestive organs and loss of mus cular control. Theso effects may bo pro duced in one member of the family only, while all are using the water, and the other escape, owing to a less degree of susceptibil ity. The path of safety in this matter lies i' avoiding the use of lead pipes as fur as pos sible; and in never using water for drinking or cooking, which has stood in a load pipe for any length of time, but always taking tho precaution first to ruu olTor pump off a sufficient quantity to completely empty the pipes. J DECAYING ORGAXIC MATTER. All surface waters are liable to contamina tion from decaj-ing organic matter, such as dead leaves, bark and pieces of wood, frag ments of rotten fruit and vegetables, dead worms, insects and other small animals, garbage and animal excrement. Not only this, but in all old and thickly settled countries wherever civilization has massed large numbers cf human beings both sur face water and ground water aro liable to the still more serious contamination of foul drainage, such as the leachiugs of farm yards, cess pools, sink drains, privy vaults, old graveyards and tho sewerage of cities. Dr. L A. Watson, in a New Hampshire board of health report, has given a vivid picture of the fouling of a rural well from these sources, as follows: "Clustered on a few square rods of land are the farm build ings, the dwellings, wood shed, wash house, horse stable, cow barn, sheep J'ard, corn house, swine house, hen house, compost heap, cess pool and privy. All those are arranged iu a hollow square, and in their midst is the farmer's well, with its curb, sweep and bucket or its cover, pipe and pump. Arourd this center are concentrated all the activities of a New England farm. Birth, life and death; bloom, fruit end decay, of men and animals, of shrubs and trees, havo transpired here for a century. All the waste has been dropped upon tho surface, there to accumu late, decay and putrefy. Tho earth beneath has become surcharged with animal and vegetable waste. The whole establishment is resting upon and aLovo a mass of the mcst dangerous filth, ard this filth is being daily leached into the bottom of tho well." In water thus abounding in organic impuri ties are found vast multitudes of animal cute, which, when taken into the human system, develop into such frightful parasites as tape worms, trinchin and hydatids. Still more to be dreaded are the myriad mi croscopic bacteria, or germs of disease, which breed and thrive in filth, and literally swarm in impure water. These are the source of such deadly pests as diphtheria, typhoid and malarial fevers and Asiatic cholera. Tie importance of some method of preventing these dire results can hardly be overesii mated. Few persons havo any adequate con ception of the extent to which pollution in water exists. Even in wells, it is said by competent observers that tho water iu ninety-five out of every hundred is insanitary and unfit for use. In the water of cities the evil are even greater. J. M. French, M. D., in Good Housekeeping. Tho Itcsults of FUli Farming. According to Mr. Hooker jee, a Hindoo authority on pisciculture, the results of fish farming are remarkable. Professor Huxley has stated that an acre of land will produce in a year a ton of grain or two or three hun dred weight of meat. The same area of water, however, will yield a greater weight of fish in a week. There seems to be no good reason why fish should not be made a more important part of the diet, and with a well managed fish pond on every farm a large amount of nutritious, valuable, and excel lent food could be easily produced at a very small expense. The subject is well worth the careful attention of thoughtful farmers. Publio Opinl&A. Real Estate Bargains EXAMINE OUR LIST.
