\i Prohibition was losing ground rapidly before the Penney Ivan ia vote but now we think it may be safely classed among the things tried and found wanting in this country. Rhode Island votes today on the proposition to repeal the prohibition clause in its constitution.

Perhaps Terre Haute is a "country" town but before long we may be able to convince the Indianapolis Sentinel that it is mistaken. And, by the way, wasn't the Sentinel overshooting the mark when it sent agents here to collect $500 for writing up the good features of 'country" town?

There is no need of special cow policemen. There are enough idle men drawing pay in the police department to thoroughly enforce the ordinance and they should be made to do it. There was no trouble, a few nights ago, to concentrate a dozen or fifteen of them at Sam Brown's place, when, for some spiteful reason the police authorities chose to raid th.e shebang. And, by the way, they have not raided any of the other gambling houses. Why? What is the political, or other tribute, that protects those places which really are under the protection of the police.

We don't exactly see the justice in imposing a tax of 82 a telephone on the company as a means of retaliation because the company refused to continue furnishing city departments with several free telephones, but we do believe in the tax as a matter of principle. If the city wants telephones let it pay the rent for them, and if the telephone company payB a less tax on assessed valuation than it should pay, and it does, let it pay a tax, or license, or whatever you choose to designate it. It usee and obstructs our streets, and pays, practically, no tax. We believe that as it thus imposes on the city, it should bear a greater portion of the cost of conducting the affairs of the city, just as we believe that the saloons, which cause eJta^much of the expense for police and jail, wmt-'ehould pay a license fee.

The Indianapolis Sentinel refers to THK EXTUKSS as a "country newspaper." This manner of crushing "hated consemporaries" is a relic of the early days of journalism and is hardly up to the Sentinel's standard, but let's see how the "country newspaper" compares with the Sentinel. The latter is printed in a city of over 100,000 population and is supposed to be a "State" newspaper. TIIF. EXPRESS is printed in city of JO,000 population. Vet THE EXPKKSS prints quite as much matter each day as does the Sentinel, certainly more of the telegraph news. Perhaps the Sentinel got the idea that we are "countries" over here because its emissaries failed to rnise $500 to pay for a description of this Indiana oil Held in the columns of the Sentinel, which is supposed to have all Indiana interests at heart.

It is said that Archbishop Gibbons intends doing something of a summary character if it is shown that the Clan-na-Ciael caused the murder of Cronin. r. Labouchere over in London defends Sullivan and exalts his standing as an Irish leader. But from neither of them do we hear one word of condemnation of the Clan-na-Uael as a society organized for, dynamite and murderous plots. The secret of-its organization is exposed now and there is no longer any doubt that such has been the object of its existence. We take it for granted that every one now knows that there is no longer any question that Mr. Sullivan was at the head of

QUESTION OF DISTRESS ONLY,

The Clay county Question is a Question of distress: People are starving there will you feed tliem There is an effort to divert this and out of a dispute on other Issues make or break political advantage. It makes no difference what Is said now nor what was said last fall, about the blessings ot protection. Bad Cleveland been elected instead of Harrison the condition In Clay county would not be different to-day. Had the policy of revenue reform been adopted Instead of protection, the relief thatj It would| have brought, as many of us believe, would not have come by this time, for there would by this time have been no change In the law. So we say these diversions are wrong, wickedly wrong. The question Is one of distress. The coal market has been cut Into by natural gas and oil. The miners have been barely able to live at the wages paid on the amount of work they got.—I Indianapolis News.

We are glad,to see the News begin to represent the situation in its true light but it will pardon us if we are ungracious enough to remark that the first political cue given in the relief movement was the letter of Senator Voorhoos which contained along with his contribution a tirade about the protective tariff. The News will also pardon us if we remind it that there have been more distressful strikes than this one that none

SW

of these excited the pu movement of relief concertedly on foot by the opponents of the protective tariff following the publication of Mr. Voorhees' letter. The News will also pardon us if we remind it that it had no word of rebuke for that letter, most timely time to have lent its aid in a sincere effort to procure relief for the miners by preventing the introduction of politics into the matter.

However, the News is nearly downto bed-rock and we congratulate it. We will not even go into a discussion with it »3 to the "relief" "revenue reform would have brought by showing that the coal on which there is a duty bituminous—is being mined in increasing quantities, or by P°l°

ALMOST A VICTIM OP SUPERSTITION.

Ignorant Germans Torture an Insane Girl to Kxorcise the Evil Spirit. A young woman named Hannah Heit-

land has been working for her brother in Quincy, 111. She recently left his house and walked to her home in Tioga, a distance of twenty-five or thirty miles, She showed Bymptoms of insanity, and her parents, with other ignorant Germans of that vicinity, held a sort of incantation over the girl, sticking pins into her person to "drive away the evil spirit." The young woman became almost unconscious, and in this condition she was bound hand and foot, gagged, and placed in a farm wagon, brought to Carthage and placed in a livery stable. Here she remained from noon yesterday until near midnight Tuesday night in an unconscious condition. The unfortunate creature was finally taken to jail, where a physician is trying to save her life. Pins were still found sticking in her person. A judicial investigation will be held.

The Knglish Brewery Syndicate HAS an Eye on Better Investments. NKW YORK, June 19.—Samuel Untermyer, the agent for the English syndicate which is purchasing American breweries, said yesterday there was no truth in the rumor that he had made a proposition to purchase all the breweries at Roxbury, Mass. These breweries are valued between four and seven million dollars. Mr. Untermyer said yesterday: "There is no truth in any such rumor, and moreover, you can say that the English capitalists who are investing in American breweries do not want the Roxbury breweries. "This syndicate, whiph, by the way, is not a syndicate, but a number of English capitalists, is going to invest in flour mills and rolling mills. We are already negotiating for the purchase of different mills, and propose to manufacture steel rails in this country. I am not at liberty, however, to state where these manufactories and mills are."

A Large Stone lluildlng to He Moved. A big contract has just been undertaken by a firm in this city. To build the viaduct over the railroad tracks at Twelfth street, it became necessary to widen the street, beginning at State street. At the southeast corner of State and Twelfth streets stands a four-story stone store building, with a frontage of 155 feet on State. This building will be moved fifty feet south of its present location, and a three-story building, 58x50 feet, on Twelfth street, will be moved seventy-eight feet west and sev-enty-four feet south. A barn, two stories high, 63x113 feet, also facing on Twelfth street, will be moved 250 feet south of its present location. It is seldom that such a large building as the first is moved, but tbe contractors have no fears that it will not be satisfactorily accomplished. The property is owned by the Atohison, Topeka & Sante Pe railway. Alfred Smith is the architect, and the contract for the moving has been let to Hollingsworth & Coughlin at about $13,000.—Chicago Letter to Sanitary News.

Tlie Icebergs in the Atlantic. NEW YORK, June 19.—The lucky German Lloyd steamship Saale is probably not the only craft that shoved an iron prow into an iceberg on June 11th. It may be recalled that the Saale slid over the foot of a small berg on Tuesday, June 11th. Four hours before this the tramp steamship Orsino, which arrived yesterday from Mediterranean ports, passed about one hundred miles to the northeast of the scene of the Saale's adventure, a berg as big around as two city blocks and 150 feet out of the water. The big berg that Capt. Evans saw could not have been the one the Saale ran against. Capt. Evans passed his berg at 7:30 o'clock on the evening of Tuesday, June 11, four hours before the Saale collided with her berg. It was floating northeasterly with the Gulf stream.

In Re Osculationis

Several newswapers through the west have been exploiting the kissing abilities of the coy and coquettish maidens of their respective localities. An EXPRSKS messenger who was sent out to Investigate about three weeks ago, has recovered sufficiently to state that

It did not pass altogether without buke. Writers on vulgar errore ocpasionly denounce the prejudice, ana a Gascon writer and soldier of the seventeenth century, Cyrano de Bergerac, the author of various humorous and satirical pieces, boldly praised and glorifled the despised color. His work on the "States and Empires of the Sun WM translated into English, and in it he says

^"A brave head covered with red hair is nothing else but the sun in the midst of his rays, yet many speak ill of it, be cause few nave the nonor to be so.

And again, that flajren hair betokens fickleness, and black obstinacy but between both, he says, is the medium: "Where wisdom in favor of red-haired men hath lodged virtue, so their flesh is much more delicate, their blood more pure, their spirits more clarified, and consequently their intellect more accomplished, because of the mUture of the four qualities."

At the present day, in the North, it is considered unlucky for a red-haired man to be the first to enter a new house. There is also a notion that if suoh a man be the first to enter a house on New Year's morning, ill-luck will surely follow, and will result in a death th§ house before the end of the year. Th# popular prejudice eeems to have originated in the tradition that Judos Jecariot was red-headed. There is a further that the rebellions Absalom's luxuriant lockB were of the obnoxious colon but it is hardly necessary to go beyond Judas for the origin of the feeling. Most of the old painters represent the traitorous apostle with hair of the traditional oolop. There is one notable exception, however, for, in Leonardo da Vinci's "Last Supper," Judas has black hair.

The adjective, "Judas-haired," and similar allusive phrases, frequently occur in old writers. In "As You Ijike It, Rosalind says of Orlando "His very hair is of the dissembling color to which Celia replies: •"Something browner than Judas'A character in Mars? ton's "Insatiate Countess" says "I ever thought by his red beard he would prove a Judas here am I bought and sold."

Dryden frequently quarreled with his publisBer, Jacob Tonson, a man of very unprepossessing appearance, about payments and on one occasion the poet sent him the following libellous lines With leering looks, bull-faced, ana freclfled fair, With two left legs, and Judas-cojored hair, And frowsy pores that taint the ambient air.

With this pleasing beginning Hryden sent the message: "Tell the dog that he who wrote |these lines can write more."

A modern allusion to the tradition is found in Matthew Arnold's poem,"St. Brandon":

That furtive mien, that scowling eye. Of hair that red and tufted lell. -It Is—oh, where shall Brandon fly?—

The traitor Judas, out of hell. Although the traditional reason for the. obnoxiousness of the color has probably died out of popular recollection, red hair Btill remains the subject of vulgar reproach and sarcasm. The taunting cry of "ginger" or "carrots" is familiar to the ear attuned to catch the echoes of the street. In America "mahogany top" is a similar term of reproach. "Carrot*" and "carroty" are found pretty frequently in literature from the middle of the seventeenth century or our own time. In the "Book of Snobs," the terrible old Lady Clapperclaw pours contempt upon the daughter of her rival, poor Blanche Muggins, with her "raddish of a nose, and her carrots of ringlets." In Ireland "foxy" is a more common term. Dunat O'Leary, the hair-cutter in Gerald Griffin's once famous novel, "The Collegians," upon which the popular Colleen Bawn is founded, was known as Foxy Dunat in allusion to his red poll. Sydney Smith made amusing and, effective use of the popular prejudice in his "Peter Plymley's Letters."

Notwithstanding the odium that may naturally be supposed to have attached to red hair in times past on account of its association with Judas, yet the same color of beard seems sometimes to have been regarded with more kindly eyes. It was the mode in Elizabethan times to color the beard, and red would appear to have been a fashionable tint, for in the first act of Lodowick Barry's comedy of "Ram Alley" there is this dialogue: Taffeta. What coloured beard comes next by the window? Adrlana. A black man's, I think. Taffeta. I think not so I think a red, for that Is most In fashion.

The custom, like other fashionable absurdities, was ridiculed on the boards of the theater. Dekker recommends any one who has been stung by a play-writ-er's epigram, or who has been insulted by having his feather, or his red beard, or his little legs, brought on the stage, to rise in the middle of the performance "with a screwd and discontented face from your stoole to be gone," and to draw out after him as large a body of companions as he can get to follow him.

Burbage, the famous actor of Shakspearean times, was known as the "redhaired Jew," because in his performances of "Shylock," hair and beard of fiery hue formed prominent features in his "make-up." Tradition adds that he also donned a long and hooked false nose and a tawny petticoat, and thus arrayed, delighted the vulgar tastes of the gallery folk but there is no good authority for the statement, and the story is highly improbable. Ben Johnson had hair ofthe ruddy hue. When, in the course of explorations among the vaults beneath Westminster abbey, made in 1819, the remains of "Rare Ben" were discovered, a few hairs, undoubtedly red, were still to be seen adhering to the skulL Shakspeare's hair is usually described as auburn but it was perhaps dangerously near the more pronounoed color, for it seems very probable that the "Rufus" of John Marston's satire, "Pigmalion's Image," published in 1598, and the "Ruus Laberius Crispin us" of Ben Johnson's "Postmaster" were both intended to refer to William Shakspeare.

The dislike to red hair has been referred by some inquiries to another origin than the Judas tradition. The ancient Danes were a red-headed people,

BUFFALO, N. Y., June 19.—The New I York Central freight depot, on Ohio street, is in ruins.

ous methods are devised and cost of production is loosened without reduction of wages. The wsge earner under protection has the means, by combination and accumulated resources, through tbe higher pay he has hitherto received, to resist a reduction of wages. The employer turns, therefore, to the means for reducing cost by new and more ingenious contrivances, whereby greater production comee from the same or increassd wages. "In the rough it may be stated that the cost of living has dsclined 50 per oent. and the rates of wages increased 50 per oent. within this century. Tbe net reeult is an advance of 100 per cent, in actual wages. This acoounts for the accumulation in savings banks and for the stilly incomparably vaster sum expended in lands, housee and the environments of home life by all the industrial classes. Only the short-sighted and narrow-minded student of maxims, heedless of markets, or the Belfish agitator would disregard such evidences of the marvelous fruit of the American sys-

THE AMALGAMATED ASSOCIATION.

The Bolt Makers Admitted—The Federation Strike Assessment Measure. PITTSBURG, June 19.—The Amalgamated association convention to-day granted the application of the bolt makers for admission to the organization. This will necessitate a bolt makers' scale. The general strike assessment measure suggested by the American federation of trades unions, whereby all members of the federation are assessed in case of a strive in any of the trades unions, was adopted. An amendment was also passed permitting the admission of a large number ot men about the mills who heretofore oould not join the organization. Everybody who is employed about the mills can now be freely admitted with the exception of oommon laborers. This latter question is left to the discretion of the local lodges, to whom the laborers may apply for admission. The association, which ban been BO conservative, has finally reached out its arms and embraces every class of iron or Bteel workers, The ohange will make the Amalgamated association a stronger comitltor of the Knights of JLabor tor the membership of workmen who can join the Knights of Labor, but owing to the laws of the orcier, could not join the Amalgamated association. Tbe eastern delegates who have been considering the scale for the eastern division, made their report yesterday. The scale was adopted by the convention, and is the same as last year. It is on a basia of four dollars a ton on a two cent Philadelphia card. The oonferenoe committee of the Amalgamated association and Carnegie & Co., of the Homestead steel works, is now in session. It is generally believed that a satisfactory 89ttlement will be reached.

A Snake Itace,

An exciting adventure in which a big rattle-snake and Jesse Gribsy, of Grizzly canyon, occupied the chief roles occured a few days ago near the home of the latter. Jesse was strolling around the hills, when he stumbled upon a huge rattler that at once assumed hostilities, and striking at the intruder bis fangs became entangled in a leg of his trousers, and there he hung. About that time Jesse thought of some business he had at the house, and being in something of a hurry, he started home on the double-quick without taking time to release his snakeehip. It was a close race between Jesse and the rattler. For one-half the distance the snake was iij the lead, and the other half Jesse would pull ahead, and thus they had it until the house and assistance were reached, and there the serpent was killed. It is quite safe to Bay that neither Jesse nor the snake even made any better time over the same distance. —[Lower Like (Cai.) Press.

For two years I suffered from a severe pain in my right side, and had" other troubles caused by a torpid liver and dyspepsia. After giving several medicines a fair trial without a cure, I began to take A.yer'a Sarsaparilla. I was greatly benefited by the first bottle, and after taking Ave bottles I was completely cured."—John W. Benson, 70 Lawrence St., Lowell, Mass.

Last May a large carbuncle broke out on my arm. The usual remedies had no effect and I was confined to my bed for eight weeks. A friend induced me to try Ayer*s Sarsaparilla. Less than three bottles healed the sore. In all my experience with medicine, I never saw more

Wonderful Results.

Another marked effect of the use of this medicine was the strengthening of my sight." Mrs. Carrie Adams, Holly Springs, Texas.

I had a dry scaly hnmor tor years, and suffered terribly and, as my brother and sister wefre similarly afflicted, Ipresume the malady is hereditary. Last winter, Dr. Tyron, (of Fernandina, ^Fla.,) recommended me to take Ayer's

Sarsaparilla, and continue it for a year. For five montbs I took it daily. I have not had a blemish upon my body for the last three months." T. E. Wiley, 140 Chambers St., New York City.

Last fall and winter I was troubled with a dull, heavy pain in my side. I did not notice it much at first, but it gradually grew worse until it became almost unbearable. During the latter part of this time, disorders of the stomach and liver increased .my troubles. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after faithfully continuing the use ot this medicine for some months, the pain disappeared a(ad I was completely cured."—Mrs. Augusta A.
