A New View of the Wild Parsnip.
It is Professor Power, of Madison,
Wis., who is credited with claiming,
after a series of investigations, that the
parsnip is never poisonous. As report
has it, recent investigations show that
neither the cultivated parsnip in its sec
ond stage of growth, nor the wild parsnip
is poisonous. The belief that the par
snip is ever poisonous is caused by the
fact that there is another root, closely
resembling the parsnip, and poisonous,
that has been mistaken for it. This is
contrary to the popular opinion, which
regards the wild parsnip as rank poison.

PROHIBITIONISTS
Hold Their National Convention at
Cincinnati.
DELEGATES FROM EVERY STATE IN THE
UNION IN ATTENDANCE —PROCEED-
ING OF THE CONVENTION.
The National prohibition convention
met it Cincinnati Wednesday. Chair
man Dickie, of the natioual committee,
called the meeting to order, and intro
duced Dr. J. G. Evans, of Hedding col
lege, 111., who opened the convention
with prayer, in the course of which he
entreated that rum be driven from the
country and that the saloon cease to exist.
A number of belated delegates sought
Beats after the prayer, and the Silver
Lake quartet, of New York state, ren
dered a temperance selection while order
was being restored. They received an
encore. Rev. Dr. Lockwood, of Cin
cinnati, then on behalf of the city
and the state of Ohio, welcomed
the delegates. Professor Dickie res
ponded to the addresses. He
closed by naming ex-Governor St. John
as temporary chairman. Wild cheering
and the waving of flags and handker
chiefs greeted the mention of the name
of ex-Governor St. John. The shouting
was renewed again and again as the noted
Kansan stepped forward and assumed the
gavel and addressed the convention. His
closing words, “What is the pleasure of
the convention?” elicited the prompt re
sponse from numerous voices: “We want
St. John for president.” The name of
A. F. Wolfenbarger, of Nebraska, for
secretary, and a list of assistant secreta
ries and sergeauts-at-arms selected by the
national committee met no opposition.
THE FIRST DISCUSSION, ’
The Atft in the c£ t *ention oc
curred over the question o\ adopting the
temporary rules prepared by the national
committee. lhese provided that only
delegates present should be entitled to
vote. This would have deprived a num
ber of far-off states, especially tho e in the
extreme south, a part of thsic represent
ation in tUe temporary organization, as
all their delegates could not come on ac
count of the expense. Mr. J. B. Cranfill,
of Texas, took the lead in behalf of these
delegates. He said that if that rule were
adopted it would leave tho control of the
convention in states around Cincinnati.
It would cost $3,500 to send the thirty-five
delegates of Texas to Cincinnati, and they
could not afford it. The temporary rules
would probably be the permanent rules.
He moved that each delegation have the
right to cast its full vote whether all the
delegates were present or not. After a
lively tilt Mr. Cranfill carried his
amendment on a rsing vote, and then
the rules with this amendment were
adopted. The roll of states was called
for the announcement of committee
membership, and then the convention
adjourned until 4 o’clock, after giving
duections to the committee to proceed at
once to the work assigned them. The
most interest centered in the member
ship nf the platform committee and th§
New Nation committee.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
At the afternoon session the committee
on credentials reported 972 delegates
present, Louisiana and South Carolina,
being the only states not represented.
The presentation of the report of the
committee on permanent organization
recommending C >lonel Ritter, of In
dianapolis. for permanent chairman and
Sam Small for permanent secretary and
reinstating the rule voted down in the
morning giving states’ votes only for
delegates .present, was the signal
for a ffgtlt. Mr. Srnau . presented
a minority report recommending that
each state delegation be permitted to cast
the full vote to which it is entitled. He
made a vigorous speech in favor of the
minority report and protested against
depriving these states of their full vote as
monumental injustice. The minority re
port was defeated by a vote of 350 to 72,
and the majority report was adopted, so
that absent delegates will have no vote.
The convention then adjourned until 8
o’clock p. m. The following national
executive committee was selected : Chair
man, Dickie; vice chairman, John P. St.
John, of Kansas; secretary, W. C. War
dell, New York; treasurer, Samuel D.
Hastings, Wisconsin ; additional members,
Helen Gougar, Indiana; J. H. Tate,Ten
nessee; A. A. Stevens, Pennsylvania.
Notwithstanding the gossip that the
headquarters would be changed to Chi
cago, the committee then chose New
York for another four years. SoDg and
prayer by Rev. David Tatum, a Quaker
preacher, of Chicago, opened the even
ing session. Colonel Ritter, of Indiana,
who was selected for permanent chair
man, was escorted to the platform to
succeed Governor St. John as presiding
officer. Speech-making took up the time
of the evening session.
second day.
The southern question broke out before
the prohibition convention had been in
session five minutes Thursday, the cause
being a speech made by Mrs. Gougar at
Wednesday night’s meeting, which was
largely made ot a story about the sale of
a negro child at a slavery auction block,
the application being made from slavery
to drink. The speech caused indigna ion
oc the part of a number of southerners,
and at the first opportunity Thursday
Mr. W. W. Gibbs, of Virginia, was on
his feet and offered the following resolu
tion: ‘‘Whereas, The prohibition party
is not a sectional party, but a national
party; whereas, The issues of the late
civil war are settled, and settled forever;
therefore resolved, That it is the sense of
the convention that speakers who are ac
corded the honor of addressing the con
vention be requested to refrain from un
necessary reference to illustrations tin!
could be considered reflective on partici
pan's on the last struggle.
After considejable wrangling, Chair
man Dickie, of the national committee,
then introduced Dr. Evans, of Abingdon,
111., who presented a plea for contribu
tions to enable the natioial committee to
prosecute is work. They needed m mev,
he s iid, not for “blocks of five,” but t
keep up the contest against the liqu i
traffic. Thousand-dollar subscription *
were made by Tne Voice, the prohibitio
organ, and *W. F. Ward well, of New
York, secretary of the national prohibi
tioo executive committee = Through lev
t rat individuals the st tie ot Fensyivania
gave $1,200; Virginia, $1,000; Illinois
$1,000; Minnesota and Tennessee, SOOO
ach; Massachusees, Colorado, Ken
tucky, California, Wisconsin and New
Jersey, SSOO each. Tnere were several
individual subscriptions of SSOO each.
New York state gave SI,OOO to the na
tional committee and raised a considera
ble amount in addition for state work.
Gathering of subscribtions was vigorously
pushed and enough small subscriptions
were dually rece ved to swell the total
amount to $20,000, or $5,000 more than
four years ago. The convention adjourn
ed until 2 o’clock, just aa the piatiorm
committee succeeded at la-t in tempora
rily getting by the silver plank.
When the convention reassembled at
2 o’clock, two reports from the platform
co nmittpe were submitted. That of the
maj >rity was adopted, after being amend
ed in two paiticulars, and after a great
deal of excited discussion. The platform
says:
The liquor traffic is a foe to civilization, the
arch enemy of popuar government and a pub
ic miisauce. It is the citadel of the forces hat
corrupt polities, promote poverty and crime,
degrade the nation’s home life, tbiwat t tho Will
of the people and will delivor our coun ry into
lie han Is of r ipacious class interests. Ail laws
• hat undo.- the gune of r gulation legalize and
protect this traffic or m ike the government
s are in its ill-goiten gains, are vicious in prin
ciple and powerless as a remedy.
We declare anew for the enlira suppression
of the manufacture, sale and importation, ex
portation and transportation of alcoholic liquors
as a beverage by federal and state legislation,
and the full powers of the government should
he exerted to secure this result. Any party that
f .ils to recognize the dominant natme of this
is -ue in American politics is undeserving the
support of the people.
2. No citizen should be denied the right to
vote on account of sex, and equal labor should
receive equal wages without regard to sex.
3. Tho money of the coil itry. composed of
gold, sliver and paper, should be issued bv the
general government only, and in no sufficient
quantities to meet the demands of business and
give full opportunity for theemploymoat of la
bor. To tins end an increase in he volume of
money is demanded, and no individual or cor
poration should be allowed to make any profit
through i*s issue. It should be made legal
te ider for tho payment of all debts, public and
private. Its volume should be fixed at a defi
nite sum p r capita an l made to increase with
our increase in population
4. We favor free an i unlimited coinage of
silver and gold.
(This fourth plank was stricken out by the
convention by a vote of 596 to 335.)
Tariff should be levied only as defense
against for ign governments which levy tariff
upon or bar out our products from their mar
kets, the revenue being incidental. The resi
due of the means neces ary to an economical
administration of tho government should be
raised by levying the U’y’den on what the peo
ple possess, instead or; - '\t we consume.
Then follow declamtions in favor of
government control of railroads,telegraph
and other public corporat ons, and strin
gent imm gration and naturaliz ition laws,
agaist alien ownership of lands in the
United States, favoring a legal day of
rest, arbitration, liberal pensions and
public schools with the English lauguage
alone,against margin speculation and mob
law, and the arraignment of both old
parties for a long catalogue of sms. To
his was added from the minority report
the following:
Recognizing and declaring that the prohibi
tion of the liquor trafflo has become the domi
nant issue in national politics, we invite to fu 1
party fellowship all hose who, on this one
dominant issue are us, agreed in the full
belief that this party tan and wi I remove sec
tional differences, promote national unity and
insure the best welfare of our entire land.
This ad itional plank was at once voted
down along with the balance of the mi
nority platform, but its failure came near
cauaiug a large number of delegates to
abandon the convention and it was recon
sidered aod added to the pla form as
adopted. Discussion upon it developed
great heat and confusion, and there
seemed danger of another schism. Then
the following resolution, offered by Rev.
R. G. Evans, of Abingdon, 111., was car
ried :
Resolved, That we favor a liberal ap
propriation by the federal government
for the world’s Columbian exposition, but
only on condition that the sale of intoxi
cating liquors on the grounds be prohib
ited, and that the exposition be kept
closed on Sunday.
NIGHT SESSION.
Immediately after the opening prayer
at the night session, the nominating
speeches promptly began. Ex-Governor
John P. St. John, at the request of the
California delegation, was given the floor
first to place before the convention the
name of General John Bidwell, of Cali
fornia. Speeches seconding Bidwell
continued until New York was reached,
when W. Jenuings Demurest was placed
in nomination. L. B. Logan, of Ohio,
put iu nomination Gideon T. Stewart.
Though only three candidates were
named for the first place, innumerable
nominaing and seconding speeches
lasted until nearly midnight. On the
first ballot, at two minutes to midnight,
General John Bidwell, of California, was
nominated t > head the national prohibi
tion ticket. The totals, before any
changes or corrections were made, stood
582 for Bidwell, 184 for Stewart, 142 for
Demorest and three for Bascom, 487 being
necessary to a choice.
AN IRISH STEW.
Dr. Tanner is Mobbed While Attempt
ing' to Make a Speech.
Advices from Dublin, Ireland, state
that on Thursday, Dr. Tanner, protected
by 100 policemen, attempted to address
a political meeting at Tutm. The Par
nellites seized the speaker’s platform be
fore the arrival of the Tanneries. Dr.
Tanner made determined efforts to get on
the platform, but each time was knocked
down. Finally the platform was pulled
down and Tanner was caught beneath.
Then a free fight, and fun waxed fast and
furious. The situation became so dan
gerous that the police were compelled tc
charge the mob with drawn swords.
This had the desired effect and the mob
dispersed.
TAILORS WALK OUT.
One Thousand of Thom Dissatisfied with
“Task” Work.
One thousand coat tailors in Baltimore
went on a strike Thursday morning in an
effort to free themselves from “task”
work. Heretofore each tailor has been
allotted a certain amount of work by the
contractors to be done in a day. Some
times to finish this, it is claimed, they
had to work fourteen to sixteen hours.
The men want to work ten hoflra a day
with reasonable wages and weekly pay
day.

A Birmingham dispatch of Thursday
says: The search for oii amid the moun
tains of north Alabama has at lust been
rewarded at llartselle,in Morgan county.
I The well is 1,706 feet deep, aud the drill
has penetrated only a foot into the oil
bearing sand. The oil rises 300 feet in
the well, and is clear and beautiful. Gas
flows from the well, and. when lighted,
the flame burned steadily for twenty feet
in the air. The prospecting has been
done by experts from Pennsylvania.
Col. James L. Shtfiield, one of the
most prominent politicians in Alabama
died suddenly at Montgomery Saturday.
He commanded a Confederate regiment
during the w>r which he spent his entire
fortune equipping, and he served with
signal bravery until 1864. He was noted
as oue of the most effective stump speak
ers iu the state, and iu 1884 was an inde
pendent candidate for governor. He
was interested in the Kolb movement in
current Alabama politics, and was ranked
as one of the most influential speakers on
that side in the present campaign. He
was seventy-three years old.
TROUBLE PREDICTED
When the Carnegies Attempt to Start
Their Works.
A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch say:
Affairs at Homestead have assumed
hr ugly phase and serious trouble is ap
prehended. Tuesday 11. C. Frick, chair
man of the Carnegie steel comp my, ap
pealed to Sheriff McCleary for protection
and asked that 100 deputies be sent our
to the works at Homestead as soon as
possible to protect the steel works. Mem
bers of the Amalgamated As ociation
were confident that the firm intends to
make a test of strength within a very
short time, for it c uld not well wait a
year to break down the strictness of the
watch. It was stated that Manager
Potter and about twenty of his superin
tendents are away in different cities pre
sumably searching for 260 skilled work
ers, without whom it would be impossi
ble to start the mill. This is accepted as
a further indication of the management's
desire to try and start the mill at once.
A NEGRO NATIONAL PARTY
Organized in Texas-Will Put Out
Candidates for Every Office.
A dispatch of Tuoday from San An
tonio, Texas, says; Gualoupe county to
day saw the birth of a Dew party op
posed to all the old parti; s. XJ; der a
call issued by B. Berry, a large number
of negroes assembled in mast meeting
and perfected a permanent organization
with Berry as chairman, and adopte 1
a platform calling for negro' nom
inations for every office in the
gift of the American people from presi
dent down to constable. If recVes that
democracy is inherently opposed to iho
African; that republicanism is false to
him and that there is no hope for him in
the people’s party. He is the i athmal
balance of power. Delegates in every
Voting precinct were duly appointed and
convention called for the 22nd of July.
A BIG LOCKOUT.
Carnegie’s Iron Works Shut Down and
Three Thousand Men Idle.
A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: The
Homestead shut-down went into effect
Thursday. There are 3,000 idle tonnage
men on the streets and they have invited
tbe mechanical department, day laborers
and watchmen to j >in them. They ex
pect that they will do so. If th y do,
the entire p'ant will be id'e. The firm
discharged all their employes at mid
night, and notified them to report for
their pay at the offi :e on Saturday. By
this action, the Carnegies have cleverly
forestalled the men, and, by making it a
lockout instead of a strike, have placed
them on the defensive. Th; streets are
crowded, but everything is quiet so far.
