A Qxiestion to the Spirit of the Age.
Mr. Blaine, in a speech at North
Berwick, Me , Aug 25, 1886, was ask
ed by Rev. Mr. Collins, from the au
diance, the position of the Republi
can party ' on prohibition. Mr.
Blaine replied that the National lie
publican party is :iot in favor of Pro
hibition, but the Republican party
of Maine is. ' Mr. Co lins then "asked
if there was such a thing as a State
party in Maine,' independent of ? the
national organization, and Mr. Blaine
made no repjy, 1 ; - " '
f So mnch for that - The Spirit : of
the Age declares that the Democratic
party of North Carolina, : because j it
does not say any thing about it, is a
temperance 'par ty. : Well, will tie
Age venture to tell us how" the Na
tional I Democracic : party . stands ?
And if it distinctly declares opposi
tion to such laws, will the Age kind
ly tell ns if there is such a thing as
a State party in North Carolina, in
dependent of the national organiza
tion. f
TD3LD AT LAEGE. '
The system which licenses what is
injariops on week days soon begets a
demand for license for the same
hing on Sunday. See the straits
in which the politicians are in New
York, whose bare majority of 1150
votes for Cleveland in 1884 put him
in the White House and his "party in
power, j ihe liquor-dealers, says
an Albany correspondent, have taken
a solemn oath that they shall have
Sunday for their trade, or at the
Presidential election they will
break the neck of the party responsi -b'e
for their failure. At their backs
they have the Personal Liberty or
ganizations (anti-sumptuary fellows
ike our Democratic brethren Ed.)
of which all the German singing so
cieties of New York State are enroll
ed members. This organization is
said to control 75,000 votes. The
Republican leaders, which party U
in power, are awaiting the day of
voting upon this bill with unmixed
dread. ; To pass it will cost them
defeat by the loss of 100,000 liquor
votes."
To such a condition are re
duced parties embracing both wliisky
and Temperance men. Ours has but
the one kind, and, not being divided
against itself, will stand.
The Eepublican Wiag of the Democratic
-Xt Party-
Republican Senator Palmer, ofi
Michigan, urges hi3 party to adopt
prohibition. Upon this the Jlfilicau
kee Republican frankly says :
"All thoughtful kepnblicans know
that prohibition is not Republican
ism, tut despotism.
. Or as the other wing of the whisky
party says, it "vexes the citizen and
interferes with individual liberty."
"The Republican party has nothing
whatever m common and can have
nothing in common with the coercive,
arbitrary, despotic principle of pro
hibition. , To suggest that con sis ten
cy and honesty be thrown to the dogs
and that prohibition be adopted aa a
Republican measure is an insult to
all Republicans who te conscence is
in their politics.
Since the mighty exodus of the
conscience voters from the Republt
can ranks, the Senator' sproposal will
have but little material to insult

BETTER THAN UOTHDXG.
The Prohibitionist party has but
one idea,but it is an elevated one even
if i-i. practicable. It looks to the
Democracy . for open and persistent
opposition on the grounds of person
al rights and liberties among men. It
wants to force the republican party
to a direct issue, but such and issue
is the Republican party s
supreme horror. It" cannot avow
itself on one side or the othr. It
asks to ride to opposites at the same
time, neither of which it loves. The
dicision of the Snpi erne Court in the

from that direction the Prohibition

The week in Copgress has been an
unusually intesting one and cons-
derable real work has been done in
commit ee rooms and on the floor of
both the Sena-'e and -: the . House.
Among the H nate'e doings was Sena
te Kenna's defease of the Administ
ration nd the President's tariff mes
sage, in which heundertoolc to demo'-
ish the argument male Senator
Sherman in his recent speech, and
to show the urge n t need of tariff re
form. The Senate passed the resolu
tion which provides for changing In
auguration day fromthe 4th of March
to the 30th. of April, and for fixing
the beginning and termination of the
offic'al terms of Senators and Repre
sentatives to the same eTate. A num
ber of bills have been discussed and
passed, among them, one to increase
av . - . .
to $75 a month the pension totally
helpless from injures received or diit
ease contracted in the army or naval
service of the United States.
The Hoise of Representatives has
debated the " to wry- VVhite election
contest ; given a blow to cheap b'tera
ture.by requiring it '.. to pay book
postages and passed a number of bills
for the erection of public buildings in
dfierent parts of the country.
In the lxwry White case the
question is whether or not Mr. W bite,
who now occupies the seat, was a dill j
naturalized American citizen, and
ind' been so or seven vears at th
;Hbq of thehction ; and was there
fore eligible. Th Democratic major
ity of Commttee on elections say no;
Republican minority say yes.
The qusetion will prpbaMy be decid
eb today in fayor of Mr. White.
The everlasting flair Educational
bill continues as the unfinished busi
n.'ss in the Senate, but is put aside
from t me to time to make way for
other business. Today Senator Piatt
of Connecticut has the floor for a
talk on the tariff.
It was expected that Senator Ken
na's speech would call forth a vigor
ous rejoinder from the Ohia Senator,
and as is usnallvtbe case when a
straight ont party fight is going on
the galleries were full and the Sena
tors were m their seats. r t&
honr and half the Senator from West
Virginia iguratively pounded S ker-
eaman and the itepuoiican party
with all the strength at his com
mand.
Mr. Sheiman, who was sufficiently
stirred to strike back, said, among
other thingathat the Democratic par
ty had been in power in the House of
Representatives for ten years, and not
a single affirmative proposition or
measure as to the tariff question had
been presented to the American peo
ple. He said if he had not changed
hU.yiews on the tariff in the past1
thirty years he would not b worthy
of seat in the Senate ; Tt
almitted that he voted for immigra
tion in 1881. He said it was an in
vitation to foreigners to help fo make
good the absence of brave . Uuion
soldiers. He would have voted then
for any' kind of law to have defeated
the Democratic pa' ty of that day.
The most important bil of a gen
eral charcter before the Hon-e Com
mittee on Patents is that of Mr. An
der eon of Kansas to reduce the- life
time of a patent to seven years.
