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

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

of $25,000 a year and an assistant manager

many, many miles from a railroad, servants

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

sent the prescriptions back, with fie remark

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.

storms. This is fore-shadowed by the
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
