Prohibition Proposed. The Uep.jnlican caucus at Ilarrisburg on Tuesday evening decided on a resolu- tion. to be prrser.'f d to the Legislators, to unnk when ttiey had no idea of in for their action, which, tn redemption j dulging. and the same appeal coming of their party pledges, is to be placed before the people, as a purely prohPutory amendment to the Constitution. A compensatory clause was suggested, but not passed with much animation except by a few of the members, who were par tially conciliated by Senator Itutan stating he would offer a reimbursement clause in the Senate. It is evident from the discussion in the caucus meeting that the immaculate Itepublicans are by no means a unit on the question of Pro hibition, but, as Mr. Delamater, o' Crawford, said, it was not a question of Prohibition or condensation, but wheth er the Republican party should keap faith with the peop'.e. Mr. Kauffman, of Lancaster, also declared that thou sands of Pepublicans of his county, wio voted for Governor Beaver, would never vote the Republican ticket again if Pro hibition was not submitted to the people. The Prohibition plank in the Republican platform was obviously placed there for the purpose of catching votes, but even though its presence there lacked the ring of sincerity, it would be a most suicidal policy for the party rep resentatives to disregard it. The reso lution will no doubt be exposed to many bickeiings and crossfires in running the gauntlet of both Houses, but it will likely emerge in some shape for tbe yoice of the people to decide its fate. The text of tbe proposed amendment is as follows : r,e it resolved by the Senate and House of ftepresmtativesof theCommonwealth of Pennsylvania in General Assembly met, that the following amendment Is proposed to the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania in accordance with the Eighteenth Article thereof : Amendment There shall be an addi tional Article to said Constitution, to i W designated as Article XIX, aa I follows : j Article 'XIX.

First amotie the prominent agitators ! are the I'rihibition!3ts. who want to j eradicate the traffic, root and branch. ty a peremptory edict, forever forbidding J its manufacture and "ale. If this could ! a9 S1.ppi.fl thP.V ,trp;,m. ah.,r. ; it, the euls desired might be accom plished ; but .there are breakers in the way. To totally prohibit the manufac ture of alcohol aud a'l spirituous liquors would entail a heavy loss on science and medicine, and if the prohibition should 0M,y extend to lfl3t USP( a3 a beverage. l0v; can they prevent a portion of that manufactured for scientific and mediei- i rial purposes being used as a beverage ? Again, it is human nature to rebel j against an interference of personal lib I erty. Wheu the law takes away discre- tiocary power from the citizen pnd removes the privilege of exercising self denial, the very traits of character fall thus into decay which, if developed, would If ad to reformation, moderation and wisdom. It is the rough sea that makes a good mariner, and it is also the character that is trained to withstand the allure menis of vice and turn away from the siren voice of temptation, that becomt s strong and invir.ciule. It is held by persons whose opinions are not to be scoffed, that one-half tbe inoiify, brains and enerey judiciously appliel in teaching the subject of tern Iterance from a scientific standpoint, showing the physical and moral fleets of excessive indulgence, would do far more good than fondling a Prohibition pvty. Good judgment and true sincer ity in the cr.'.'.a tn-i'd rrai, iiiem to try something more practical and immedia'e in its results than the far-off Prohibition millennium. High license advocates elaimfor It, the virtue of weeding out many of the lower order of groggeries aud ilpp'ing shops, whose only excuse for existence is the furnishing of intoxicants to un controlled appetites. IJy thus makiLg its Ralo exclusive it is claimed a halo of greater respectability will be thrown around the traffic and its evils corres pondingly decreased. On the other hand it is argued that high license makes a monopoly of the business, favors the rich to the exclus-'on of the poor and does not curtail the real evils of the traffic, for a man can get just as drunk at a high-licensed bar as at a low-licensed one. Some even advo cate no license for the privilege of sell ing it, claiming that the less restraint thrown around it by law and, the more ram are thrown on their own honor and responsibility, the sooner they would learn to place their appetites under con trol, instead of having them controlled by legal enactments. Coupled with this is the requirement that a'l liquors man- j ufactured and sold be'made pure and I free from all poisonous ingredients. This would require a close scrutiny over the manufacturer of it and a rigid test of all brands put up for sale. Any one manufacturing an adulterated brand and selling it either Ly wholesale or re- ujl- wn,lld ,)P lia,)Ie t0 navy finfs Rnd imprisonment. It is not without reason ; claimed that crimes caused by drnnken- nes can br attributed not so much to the m'Te fact of intoxication, as that the j intoxication wis produced by adultern I te.l l'iiior. whose influence is demoral--I iz'ng, irritating and fl-nd!sh, giving tho i actions a criminal tendency. Pad n his ; kev Instigates bad actions. The anti-frea' ing argument comes in for a respectable share of attention, in considering this question, whose advo cates ciaim that nine tenths of the drunkenness would be avoided if the custom of treating could be abolished. It's the appealing invitation "Come an'l have something" that causes many consecutively from each member of the crowd soon gets all into an unsteady ship. Do away with the treating, and no well-regulated, respectable man will find himself forcing an acquaintance with a policeman's wheelbarrow. All these and several other theories are advanced for the regulation of the traffic in order to curtail its evil3. but after all is said anl done there can be no doubt that the law of supply and demand is the chief regulator of the traffic, and will ao continue iu spite of legislation. If the demand would stop, tbe supply would stop, and the manufacture of the uncalled-for commodity would cease and there woul-u be an end of it all. Let every one draw his own conclusions and make up his own mind what he will have. The United States Senate on Monday considered and passed the Senate bill authorizing the President cf the United states to protect and defend the rights of American fishing vessels, American fishermen and American trading and other vessels, in certain cases, and for other purposes. The bill was presented by Senator Edmunds, as noted in last week's 1ueeman, aa a retaliatory measure on Canada indirectly reflect ing on England for the treatment American fishermen have received In Canadian waters, in violation of the treaty of 1818. The intent of the bill was not to stir up strife with Great Britain vud the Dominion of Canada but simply the maintenance of our rights as a nation. The discussion was animated and one might almost imagine the man tle of warlike Sparta had fallen on the shoulders of out grave Senators as they waxed eloquent in their denunciations of England's wrongs and aggressions, and seemed to eagerly sniff the smoke of battle from afar happily it is from afar.

The Inter-State Commerce IJii! which I hat ben pending a long time was passed ! i. f, . , . . . I by ( orress Ust week. The bill ia some- Whit flexible in its requirements and I application, from tbe f.ir-t that it pro vides for a co-nmi.si n to be appo'tited, consisting of live nu-n. to put the nw regulation iu force. Much will dpnd upon the judgment, ability and fiirness pf th commissioners whether the law proves the public advantage claimed for it- Following are some of the most vital provisions of the, bill : Sec. '2. That if any common carrier -J"--- " i"" provisions or ir.is aci snail directly or indirectly, by any special ; rafe, rebate, drawback or other device. charge, demand, collect or receive from any person or persons a greater or less compensation for any service rendered. or to be rendered. In the transportation ' of passengers or property, subject to the piovirions of this act, than it charges, demands, collects or receives from any o'her person or iersons for doing for him or them a like and contemporaneous ser vice in the transportation of a like kind of traffic under substantially similar circumstances and couditions, such com mon carrier shall be deemed guilty of unjust discriminatiou, which is hereby prohibited and declared to be unlawful. Sec. .3 That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the pro visions of t his act to make or eive any undue or unreasonable preference or advantage to any particular peison, company, firm, corporation or locality or any particular description of traffic to any undue, or unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage whatsoever. Every common carrier subject to the provisions of this act shall, according to their re spective powers, afford all reasonable, proper and f qua! facilities for the inter change ot traffic between their lines, and for the, receiving, forwarding and deliv ering of passengers and property to and from t heir several lines and those con nec'.intf therewith, and shall not dis criminate in their rates and charges between such connecting lines ; but this shall not be construed as requiring any siioh common carrier to eive the use of its tracks or terminal facilities to anoth er carrier engaged in like business. Sec. 4, Tnat it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the pro visions of this act to charge or receive any greater compensation in the aggre gate for the transportation of passengers or of like kind of property, under sub stantially similar circumstances and conditions, for a shorterthan for a longer distance over the same line, in the same direction, the shorter being included in the longer distance; but this shall not. be cons' rued as authorizing any common carrier within the terms of this act to charge and receive as great compensa tion for a shorter as a loneer distance. Piovided, however that upon application to the commission appointed under this act. such common carrier may, in special cases, after investigation by the com mission, authoriz-d to charge less for longer ihn for shorter distances for the trat sporiation of passengers or property; pnd the commission may from lime to time prescribe ihe extent to which such common carrier may be relieved from the operation of this section of this act. Sec. 5. That it shall be unlawful for any common carrier subject to the pro v sions of this act to enter into any ton tract, agreement or combination with any other common carrier or carriers for the pooling of freights of different and competing railroaos. or to divide betwt en tht m the aggregate or net proceeds of t lie earnings of such railroads, or of any portion thereof ; and in any case of n agreement for tbe p:oling of freights as atoresaid, each day of its continuance sha'l be deemed a separate offense. Mclaughlin peuks for Labor. The session of the House at the State Capitol, Tuesday morning, was enliven ed by a spirited discussion of Ilothersall's ti!l to regulate the employment of la borers in manufacturing and repair shops and to abolish the system of blacklisting. When the bill came up on first reading, Mr. Heck man, of Bradford, moved to have it recommitted, which called for a defense of the bill from Mr. Ilotherstall and a plea for its immediate passage. A correspondent of the Pittsbuig JJi.ijifttci thus describes our Representative's speech : "Mr. M'Laughlin. of Cambria, arose on the Democratic side, ard advocated the bill in en eloquent address. lie wondered that the infamous, rascally sys'em of blacklisting had not been ai olished 2- yeart; ago a system that makes slaves of Aroei ican citizens, com- pels them to give up their manhood and go down on their knees to their employ ers. A poor workiogman, blacklisted for some petty offense, might wander north, south, east or west in search of employment, but everywhere he would be refused because he was blacklisted. Mr. M'Laughlin branded this as an in famous conspiracy on the part of em ployers, and pictured the persecuted laborer In bis wanderings, the despair of his situation, and his final return to his old employer, where he would have to go down on his knees, renounce his man - hood forever, promise to do anything asked of him. and accept any compensa tion that might be offered him for re employment. During the delivery of this address, the old gentleman several times brought his shriveled hand down upon his desk to emphasize his remarks. "The bill was amended to include mi ning. Then the provision for closing works at a stated hour was amended to permit over time with extra compensa tion, and then to fix the rate of such compensation. Finally Mr. Hothersall, tbe author of the bill, asked to have it recommitted, which was agreed to, after which the House adjourned. "This was the first passage at arms on a labor question, and the interest takeu In the measure indicates tint measures for the relief of labor will take a promi nent position in this Legislature. There are a great many members who bave been elee'ed as labor candidates, and they.show a disposition to redeem their campaign pledges. Next to the legisla tion pledged by the party platform, labor will take precedence." The members of tbe committee ap pointed by the Republican Legislative caucus at Ilarrisburg to prepare a pro hibitory amendment to be submitted to the Legislature for action at the present session, must have heard from their temperance constituents. The draft of tbe proposed amendment agreed npon totally ignores the eubject of compensa tion, and presents the question of abso lute prohibition In Its naked form. The plain English of this significant action Is, that the temperance Republicans have notified their Representatives that there must be no monkeying with the compensation buzz saw if they are to be expected to vote the Rpub!icn ticket in future.
