harmonious, and enthusiastic Convention.
While Ave differ from them' radically both
as to the desirability and the practicabil
ity of regulating by statute or organic law
the social customs of the people, we freely
accord them the credit which is due to
men who show the courage of their- con
victioas. Whatever else may be said ol
them, their sincerity, singleness of pur
pose and unselfish devotion to principle
annot be questioned. . They are not i:.
politics for revenue only : on'the contrary
they are spending their time, their mon
ey, And their labor to. accomplish what
they believe to be a feasible and necessary
moral reform. ': Judging from the .spirit
manifested, they will do their full part to
ward making the approaching campaign

high i licenses as the. "only preventive to
prohibition, which, he considers, is mak

he: suggested that wine makers should
advocate high licenses and the limitation
of saloons; stiould oppose ' any reduction
in? the tax on grain spirits and on fruit

production as compared with grain spirits;
should urge an increase in the internal

Sound Ixglc Strongly Put. ;
If you concede that the liqnor traffic is
a public evil; if you grant that civil gov
ernment . guarantees , that protection bo
given; to public health, public peace, and
f pnbllc prosperity, then it follows that no
-state has a constitutional right .to license
the . liqnor traffic. Put this t nought in
your brain, and it will leaven your heart
and soul into a profound conviction tkat
prohibition Is essentially righteous, and
that license is a perversion of law and con

- t A Theory CowccrninR ielHnr '
Some years, ago the theory was ad
winced that any certayt person could only
learn to spell a certain, number of words;
ttiat the capability of some folks was
greater than that of others. One of our
best known I wits warmly advocated this
theory, and cited in proof the case of his
cousin, a well educated, brilliant woman,
whose list of words was tlecidedly limited.
He related that in ngnmc of "verbarinm"
(which doubtless Is familiar to every one),
when time was called and the players
spelled aloud the words they had framed
from the given number of vowels and con
sonants, this unfortunate young woman
had but one, and that was k-a-f-f (calf).
An instance comes to the writer's mind
of a weJl bred, well educated woman who
never fails to spell correctly the hardest
words, no matter what may be their com
plexity, but yet invariably misspells cer
tain of the simplest monosyllables. And
this is by no means an uncommon case.C -
AH of this bears out the theory that the
power to spell correctly Js a direct gift of
God;; and, considering that no amount of
human : endeavor can supply the lack of
the divine gift, is the scorn that is given
without stint to the misspellera of the
world altogether just The man who cau
not sing a tune or draw a straight line
does not fear, the contempt of his fellows.
He dares to acknowledge that he has no
ear for music, no eye for drawing, t. But

TheNew York Tribune has performed
a service for prohibition in printing a

of temperance legislation.' The following
questions were sent out to 'the governor
and secretary of . each state, and to three
niembers of the Prohibition, Republican
and Democratic parties. : ':-y-:Ayy'y

that purpose? v ; - . ,.. , -y '- -',
As state, liquor laws vary so widely jn
nature, scope and '; application, running
down the gamut from constitutional and
Statutory prohibition, through partial
prohibition, local option, high, low, and
no license, the answers to the. first two
questions cover an investigation; into the
effects of nearly every conceivable method
of dealingwith the drink 'evil. ; "..i v
It is noteworthy that: the testimony of
state officials and of members of all parr
ties are more in. unison in prohibitory
states " than . in others. There is practi :
cal unanimity upon the good effects of
prohi bitory legislation, " qualified when
partially or locally operative, while the
widest diversity of i, opinion exists as to
the benefit of license laws,' and a jumbled
chaos of counsel is conjured . by the third
question. - - - . .'".
One fact is made prominent in this in
vestigation,' and : Prohibitionists will not
fail to use the argument forcefully. T -

The New York excise Law Is giving the
Albany Solous much trouble. Regula
tion don't regulate. The Prohibitionists
are so active that something must be done
to hammer down their vote. Some Re
publicans Want i to' give Governor Hill a
chance to veto a high license bill. Hill
doesn't. want the chance."" He now sends
a special messago to the legislature sug
gesting that, a . commission be appointed

to report a new and Improved self acting

A:y Ingalls-Has s Had : Record. ,
Tlie Philadelphia -Record (Ind. Rep.)
says: "Senator Ingalls' foolish speech has
led to historical researches that reveal the
fact that Mr. Ingalls was a candidate for
lieutenant governor in 1864, nominated by
n convention that ratified the nomination
cf McClellan and Pendleton and indorsed
the.Chicago phitform of that year as in
terpreted by McClellan. : It is beginning
to look as if Ingalls when ho opened his
mouth put both feet in." : . . r
f . lI;r;ico Greeley and I'rohibltlon.: -"No
practical enforcement of the li
cense system will ever sensibly mitigate
the evils of intemperance. But let the
law inflexibly forbid the sale of alcoholic
beverages, and every youth is thereby
warr,ed from the cradle that those bever
ages arc harmful and daugerous, and that
in drinking them he encourages the viola
tion of the law.- It" would command the

A Colored Prohibitionist Honored.
Professor J. C. Price, - the eloquent
colored temperance orator of North Caro
lina, has been offered by President Cleve
land the honorable position as minister to
Lilieria.- The offer ; was made in a com
plimentary letter from Secretary Bayard;
Professor Price has declined the position,
believinac that his duty lies in this
country ia the educational work among
the negroes of the south.
The Women In Council.
, Victor Hugo said this would be, woman's
century, and the notable gathering of
women-in Washington almost justifies
the belief that she, is stepping over the
threshold to take possession of her own.
Such an assemblage of elect ladies as
mac now men in wasnington nas never
before been known, and the ability mani
fested in the discussion of woman lumber
relation to organization to philanthrbpj
to education, to religwn, to social purity,
to politics, etc., has won respectful atten -
tion and laudatory comment. . In such a
gathering, with; Miss Willard, and;Mes
dames Lathrop, ; Hoffman, Bittenbender,
and other leading White Ribbonersr pres
ent, prohibition naturally found a place
in the deliberations.- . N, "K y- '' .- '--
It must be confessed that Mrs. Elizabeth
Cady Stanton who, as president of the
Woman's Suffrage "association, gave the
openiug address, referred very slightingly
to the prohibition reform, and if her fore
cast is based oh accurate knowledge of the
sentiment of Aromen generally, there is no
certainty that - woman's suffrage would
bring with it immediate and absolute :
prohibition. . ' . ;i;.':'.-;!: 'i
- After declaring that woman's vote
would be cast unanimously against war
for Canadian occupancy of disputed fish
eries; against a Russian extradition
treaty; for ' international "copyright, and
for devoting the surplus to the payment
of thenational; debt; she argues against
any constitutional ameudment recognizing
God in government, and concludes as fol
lows: :yyyyy--y-
"If the .majority of - women on the
suffrage platform would vote thus wisely
on five questions,? they ' may show equal
wisdom on others that may - come np for
future legislation On questions of land,
labor, prohibition-and protection there
would, no. doubts among ns be many dit
ferences of opinion. But I think we
should all agree that : that system of
political economy that secures the great
est blessings to the greatest number must
be" the true -one, and those laws : which
guard most sacredly.the interests 'of the
many rather than the few we should vote
for. .Wlion woman's voice is heard in the

X No Help from Congress.' v
-The senate judiciary committee has re
ported adversely Senator Fr ye'a bill to
apply the laws of the several states relat
ing to the sale of liquors to imported as
well as domestic liquors. The ma jority bf
the committee hold that the state control
over police regulations is under, the consti
tuiioii as secure against intrusion from
federal- authority- as the regulation of
foreign commerce by the general govern-1
ment: is from encroachment upon that
proVince"by state authority. - It therefore
reepmmcuds that the question be lef as it
isa judicial one. " v
. A minority report signed Senators
Wilson (Iowa), Ingalls and Edmunds says
it would seem that the legislative and
judicial departments - ,pf , the government
concur in the answer that the character of
legislation presented bj tbis bill is within
the cpnstitutiohaLpowLf congress; that
it does not yiolata the rfj unction of the
constitution th at . 'all duties, imports and
excises shall "be uniform throughout the
United States." An importer of ardent
spirits or of any Mother nrticle. of foreign
production is entitled to no greater pro
tection under the constitution than Is the
dealer in like articles of domestic manu
facture. The ono pays an internal tax,
the other pays a tax levied by the custom
house, and what congress may constitu
tionally say about one It may repeat ns to
the other. -
Senator Frye declares his intention to
forte his measure to a vote. '
Cranks. and Fanatics.. ; ;, .
.The esteemed New York Tribune saye
apropos i.to what, we wonder? that
V "cranks and fanatics who enjoy foolina:
away their sacred trust as .citizens by
voting where they know it can have no
effect, . cannot be ' said to have
judgment. . But rational men do not pre
fer the nomination of a candidate if they
believe he cannot be elected. They do
not wish to waste their own" time and re
sources, or itbe time and resources ot
other friends of a candidate, in a struggle
for months to secure the nomination, and
then in all the weary detail of a presiden
tial, campaign, if the only probable out
come is defeat." . v -
Of course not; . but how about the
cranks aud fanatics who founded the Re
publican party upon the anti-slavery rock
and went through, not weary months
only, but through many, many weary
years, voting for candidates that they
knew they could not electr but who, with
high faith' and with principles which
failed not by the way, waited for the full
ness of time to make right might! The
founder of - Tbe Tribune was of these
cranks and fanatfes, but the founder of

: - All rarties for the Amendment.
The West Virginia Prohibition Amend
ment league held a convention recently in
Parkersburg. -All political parties were
represented, the proceedings were harmo
nious, and it was decided to solicit votes
for Prohibition on its own merits, giving
all political parties, including the Prohibi
tionists, a fair field. It is expected that
the amendment will carry in spite of the
cunning devices of political managers who
will attempt a sell out. " .
V - Restriction Too Restrictive.
The Philadelphia Press (Rep.) is now
kicking against the only clause in the
high license law which the liquor sellers
and brewers are against. It says: "Some
of the provisions of the law, such as the
requirement that the bondsmen must re
side in tbe same ward the saloon is in,
are entirely arbitrary.". Of course! That
touches the saloon keeper a little closer.
