An Editor on his Own Buoth-
kk’s Suicide.
The following from the Chagrin
Falls Exponent, signed by the edi¬
tor. J. J. Stranahan, is one of the
most pathetic temperance sermons
that lias been put ^into print for
many a day:
“For the sake of the living, in be-
halfofthe many homes scattered
all over our fair laud, which haye
grinning skeletons iu their closets,
I am not willing that the grave
shall cover the faults of my poor
unfortunate brother, who died by
his own hand, Thursday, May ."1st,
leaving desolate, a wife and little
family, murdered because of the
cowardice of our boasted civiliza¬
tion, which permits the monster
evil if our times, intemperance, to
bring sorrow to the millions with¬
out a single argument to justify its
existence.
•/This happens to lie my brotnor’
with whom I playet) in childhood,
who shared njv eaj-}y joys and sor¬
rows, w ho rejoieetj in my success
and mourned my misfortunes, even
up to the day of his un .finely den h,
but to-morrow it may be your
brother who falls into the great
yavp'ng abyss whit R swallo ws q •,
pligiits and withers up all who
approach its awful boundaries.
* 4 In all our broad land there is
hardly a home which has not fel*
the lint breath of this monster de¬
mon, and to those which have not,
there is no safety, no immunity, tor
you who curl your lip with at the
thought of your son’ husband or
brother becoming a drunkard—per¬
haps filling a suicide’s grave—may
i waken one day to the awful real¬
ization that stealthily the cold’
c .a hi my serpent has stolen into
your peaceful, happy home, and
stolen your brightest flower.
“Like nearly all who fall under
this awful curse, my brother, when
himself’ was a generous, warm
hearted man, whose tender sympa¬
thy went out to all of God’s den¬
tures but himself; honest, faithful,
with but a single fault, and that,
more the fault of our embryotic civ¬
ilization than his own. But I am
imping that his awful death and the
deaths of the thousands who are go¬
ing dawn every year as he went,
are not in vain, and that they only
serve their part in the great con r
pensating law of nature’ which i?
I ing-suffering and kind, but which
Anally rights all wrong.
“To emancipate 4,000,000 slave-
cost the lives of 050,000 of tlie brav¬
est boys that ever sacrificed them¬
selves on the niter of human prog
re ,s; hut to emancipate the whole
human family from this pestilen¬
tial scourge lias cost rivers of blood
and tears, and the battle is hardly
begun; lint the millions of blighted
hom s and little mounds, caused by
Rs cursed influence, are crying out
n tones which are being heard all
around the world, and some day
the millennial morn of emancipa¬
tion will surely come.

Representative Mills left hereto?

tariff reform speeches. From there
he gpes tq New Jersey and then to
the Northwest. He says he propos¬
es to ta|k tariff reform tq the people
in their homes (font now until elec¬

Senator Morgan in his exposition
of the reason why the republican
Senators oppose the fisheries treaty
bore d >wu on the New Epglaiuf
brethren in a manner fhfttWO 8 Any¬
thing but pleasant for tl|C repre¬
sentatives of that section.
Ex-Senator McDonald, of Indhui-
n, is in this city. In answer to a
question he siad: ‘Things look very
favorably for the democrats. 1
have never had any doubt about In-
(liana’s going democratic. Condi¬
tions are very favorably for as. j
think we shall carry the state by a
good majority. The canvass is go¬
ing on, tipt this is the heated term
and thing are a little (piiet. Mr.
Harrison jigs nqt bee able to arouse
mudienthusiast. A cry little has ,
beep accomplished by those exeur-
slops, repepffops, ptp, They have
been a sort of failijre.
Representative Matson; demo¬
cratic candidate fprgqvenpr of In¬
diana,says he wil| stump the state
|u company with Representative
Jlovey, his republican competitor,
and that tRey will have joint djacus?
aipns.
Representative Campbell has provhjr |q?
traduced a bill in tin* House
ing an annual pension of for
Mrs. Sheridan’
It seems a Utile (jpeer to see a
democrat ip oormnand of th e ar hiy
but its all rjght peqioprots are all
ways competent of tp fill the high:
est offices, and it is only question of
time whe the^ will them all. By
the way, a move Sent has been al¬
ready .sorted to have Congress pro¬
mote General Schofield to Lieuten¬
ant General,
At a caucus of democratic Sena?
ntors held Wednesday, it was deci¬
ded that no obstructive tasties
would bo used to prevent the re¬
publicans rejecting the fisheries
treaty
The Senate committee on epidem¬
ic diseases repeated adversely Mr,
Call’s bill to pay for property de¬
stroyed in stamping out yellow fe¬
ver. All the mony necessary will,
however, be furniseed from an ap¬
propriation mud by tho last Con¬
gress, for thp suppression of epidem¬
ic diseres, and if necessary another
appropriation will be made.
The delay ip Mr. Cleveland’s let¬
ter of acceptance is bavin a terrible
effect on the republicans. Another
week witqout it and some of them
will be put into str light jackets.
The Bennie ( liinese bill will pro¬
bably be called up in the House to¬
morrow. There is no opposition to
it.
Senator Reagan has introduced a
Dill to preyent the formation of
trusts. It defines a trgst to be the
combination of eapitol or skill by
two or more person for the follow¬
ing purposes; First, to create or car¬
ry out restriction on trade; second
limit, reduce, to increase tho (
to or
porductiou or prices on merchan¬
dise or cominodies; third, to pre¬
vent competition in the manufac¬
tures, or making sales oi purchase
of merehandi.se or commodies;
fourth, to create monopoly. John
Shernian thinks that Congaess has
no constitutional power to pass
such a law If Sherman is right,
the sooner the constitutional power
is amended the better, but I don’t
b lieve lie is right. If Congress
had power to make the Inter-State
commerce law it lias power to pro¬
hibit trusts.
Representative Thomas, of Illi¬
nois, lias prebared ail original de¬
sign for a war vessel.
The republican Senators had near
ly mi all night caucus Wednesday
on the tariff bill. It is understood
that ihej'e are still wide difference
of opinion amond them, particular¬
ly on the sujects of sugar and lum-
her-
Of all the fiirces ever enacted in
this city, the so-called National Con
vention of the American party was
one of the broadesr. Only thre or
four states were represented by bo¬
na tide delegater the rest were rest
were self appointed. This gather-
i ig actually had the cheek to nomi¬
nate a ticket and formulate a plat-
orm of principals. They nomi¬
nate James L, Cuds of New York
for President and J tines N. Greer ol

In order to secure for our customers thq fullest advantage of this war
in rates, we have refused to enter into any combination, but will occupy
neutral ground, ready to secure the highest prices and best rates from all

the planters, and to tilts end we shall work; as we always have done.
Our convenience to the banks and business portions of the city will
give our customers every convenience lor transacting their business, and
instead the advantage ol being of restricted njj classes to one class tables of buyers, our customers will Lave
