Tiik silver jubilee on Sunday night
of the orJination of Father Elcock,
rector of the Cathedral and the srimual
director of the Archdiocesan Total Ab
stiuunce Uuiou, aiys the Tniladelphia
Herald was turned to good account by
Archlishop Ryan to speak a few words
on the comparative merit of moral and
legal measures for the accomplishment
of temperance. The occasion was a
more than fitting one, as Father Elcock
ha? been identified with the Catholic
Total Abstinence Society since its In
ception in this city, an 1 In no place has
the excellent work of this great' moral
union been more felt than in Philadel
phia. It was, therefore, with more than
ordinary hppro; rlatf ntssj and with com
plete good taste and judgment that the
Archbishop epAe against the implica
tion that a reform by force could be
real and enduring reform. External
Prohibition was uot the desirable thing,
he S3id, the hearts and conscience of
the i-eople must be rnached. The way
to get at the conscience was not by
creuticg a fear of a police-man's club or
the law ; it was to bring to the mind
the Irnowiedge cf an omniscient and
cmsipreeent God, and in no other way
could the evil as to the whole people bo
restrained.
In this city alone, 17,0uu men, women
and children are doing the work of con
science recommendt-d by the ArcLbishs
op in tha Total Abstinence Unions. Iu
every religious body similarly, ia a large
and constantly iacreasiu number of
parsons devoted to total abstinence for
its ovn sake; yei n s;gn of force of
compulsion is present. Not even the
strictest of the (Quakers or tbo most
rigid of their puritan brethren of the
Methodist or Presbyterian sects demand
total abstinence as a prerequisite for
membership. All of them, ia dealing
with their own brethren ia the matter
do so by moral means and do rot sug
gest force or coercion ; yet slowly and
surely their inCueuco is widening and
extending and growing, as such influ
ence must. Why, tfcen, do many of
these people recommend for the State a
different policy from that which they
pursue in their own affairs ? Kxtrava
gar.ee, thoughtks?ness, evil speech,
vaui:y ; all ure rersonal vices and
should bo discountenanced. Yet here,
too, the churches aie satisfied to use
moral means. Why is the vice of drink
singled out from among the mass and
handed over to the Legislature ?

"War legislates," as the lion. William

tho Senato of its only political affair to a

either uiil'lunaiies or the representatives cf
corporations. They bouci.t their p'aces
with their own money or that of their back
er. and, of course, re-aid theia as private
property. It is mainly a social affair, with
au eye to the uinin chance, and through
the exerrbo or their privelef.es the rich

a shame to our Intelligence, a patron of

A meet ixc, of farrutrs.aays the Phil

It is not simply in the matter of twine

Constitutional Prohibition.
A number of the most distinguished
lawyers in Massachusetts, including
Judge E. R. Hoar, ex Governor Gaston,
John (uincy Adams and others, have
issued a declaration that the proposed
prohibition amendment to the consti
tution of that State would bo inappro
priate, inasmuch as that Instrument ia
"an oiganization of government and a
declaration of rights." and that all
police regulations and definitions of
criminal offenses are properly left to the
legislature for enactment by statute
law. They contend that "to attempt to
put iuto the constitution matters which
were left by it entirely to legislative
action will tend to subject the constitu
tion to constant amendment, may lead
to doabt and confusion in its construc
tion, and will tend to diminish the hon
or and reference in which it id held by
all men and parties." The force of
this suggestion will strike every
thoughtful mind ; and it is enhanced in
this State by the tact that the adoption
of the constitutional amendment will
not bring us any nearer prohibition than
we are without it. There is no ques
tion but that under the constitution as
it stands a code cf prohibitory laws
could be framed as radical as any code
that is likely to be adopted should pro
bibition be incorporated in the con
stitution, all that is requisite is a pub
lic sentiment acting on the legislature
that will compel the passage of prohib
itory laws. The situation will be pre
cisely the same should prohibition be
put in the constitution.
Rut there will t this difference in an
other respect. In the prohibition
amendment if adopted, all license legis
lation, such as the Ilrooks law, becomes
void. Then suppose that prohibition
does cot pronibit, aud even Judge
Agnew concedes there will be an inter
val of non-enforcement how long he
does specify all the large towns and
cities of th State will be cured with
the free and unrestrained and untaxed
sale of liquor. That has been the ex
perience of other States fully as intelli
gent and moral as Pennsylvania, where
the constitution prohibited license, and
the resulting regulation.
Then, when our people will have
found out their mistake, like the peo
ple of Rhode Island, and propose to re
trace their action by another vote the
sober second thought we of Pennsyl
vania will II nd that there cannot be
another vote on constitutional prohibi
tion cntil five years Iihs elapsed. The
constitntion. article XVIII., says of
future amendments : "No amendment
or amendments shall be submitted
ofteaer than once iu five years." If we
vote prohibition into tho constitution
in lss9. it canuot be voted out nntil
1S91, and we believe it will take ten
years to get back to present conditions.
In the meantime, with nigh license
abrogated, the hands of the legislature
will be tied as to the re enactment of
such a Uw, or any other law restraining
the liquor traffic.
This illustrates tho folly pointed out
by the leaders of the 2Xas3achuaetts bar
In protesting against putting into the
organic law of the State matters that
should be left entirely to legislative
action. J'ittslurri JV-:.
In Cleveland's Footsteps.
So far the administration has con
tented itself with an indorsement and
continuation of the Treasury policy of
President Cleveland and Secretary
Faiichild, about which Mr. Ulaine
demagogued in th late campaign, af
ter his fashion, declaring the Secretary
had done acts that warranted his im
peachment. The only change we see
is in the official debt statement rut
forth by Mr. Windom, which varies
from that adopted by Secretary Man
ning In that it does not show with equal
clarneps trie assets and indebtedness,
especially in separating the Pacific
railroad bonds from the bulk of the
bcndM indebtedness.
Mr. .Blaine's great point was the de
posit of government funds, secured by
deposits of bonds, in the national banks,
which was adopted to relieve the con
gestion of the treasury, quiet the money
market, and at the same time hold the
whip-hand against combinations of
londhoMers to advance the prices of
bonds when the treasury entered the
market with its surplus as a purchaser.
How Rlaine roared and fumed over
this, but the treasury reports show an
increase in these deposits of over a mil
lion of dollars in the first month of the
Harrison administration. These de
posits this whip hand against "Wall
street combinations enable Secretary
AVindom, following the policy of Secre
tary Fairchild, to announce a maximum
which he will pay for the outstanding
ii and 4s when be desires to purchase"
An Associated Press dippatch of Satur
day says "Secretary Windom, in deal
ing with the surplus question, will
confine himself fcr the present to the
purchase of b-nd without attempting
r.ry radical change in the system of
national bank deposits adopted by bis
predecessor." Tt:s la semi-official, and
inn the nature cf a rebuke of Mr.
Rlalne's blather last fall in Michigan
and Illinois
The surplus now amounts to ?55 000 -000,
an Increase of 510,000.009 since the
4'h of M ;rcL, or at the rate of ji20,000,
000 a year has elapsed since t5 teens u
ry begin to use the surplus nr t ue pur
chase of bonds in tlie open market,
under its circ.u'ar of May 17, 1SSS, and
in this time S120.000.000 of government
bonds have been boutrht at a cost of
S15U.S22.C20, over S21.000.000 being
expended on premiums to bondholders.
This shows that the surplus in the
treasury at this date, but for these pur
chases, would amount to over $205
000,000. And this vast sum marks tho
amount of money taken from the pock
ets of the people by unnecessary and
unjust taxation. Such an abuse of the
taxing powers of government would
crfate a revolution in any European
country, but here !c is accepted as one
of the frai's of "protection to Ameri
can labor" protecting it by taxation
that is largely disbursed in premiums
to the Wall street bond syndicates.

The President and Xugwnmps.
A Republican organ congratulates
itself and its partv on what it assumes
to be a fact, to wit. the repudiation of
the mugwumps by President IlarrisoD.
Pointing to tne removal of Postmaster
Pearson, of New Yoik, and the appoint
ment of a machine politician as bis
successor, the editor fairly shouts for
joy and bis ecstatic exultation heaps
indignity and insult upon the inde
pendent Republicans who prefer the
good of the country to the success of
the party. But it overshoots the mark
when it styles Postmaster Pearson a
mugwump. That gentleman support
ed Riaine for President in 1884 and took
no part at all in the lata presidential
election. He is and has always been a
Republican.
Bnt if President Harrison has ''turns
ed down" the mugwumps how comes it
that be has determined to appoint John
Field postmaster at Philadelphia 7
Mr. Field waa one of the leading spirits
on the mugwump committee of One
Hundred and has helped to knock more
than one spoke out of the Republican
machine in Philadelphia He support
ed Ex-Goyemor Pattiaon every time
he was a candidate, be has personally
denounced Mr. Quay, the engineer of
the machine, be assisted in defeating
William R. Leeds in 1S87, and it is
well known would cot have supported
Harrison for President but fo r the fact
that Philadelphia's selfishness demand
ed that "protection must be saved from
imendirjg defeat. If Mr. Field has
cot been a mugwump the species has
never had an existence.
President Harrison has announced
his hobby to be the maintenance of
barmony in the Republican party. He
can. therefore, have no thought of run
ning a mock against the mugwumps
who are Republicans many of whom
supported him on his pledge of 5delity
to the civil service law and who could
have prevented his election by support
ing Mr. Cleveland. Should be discard
ana flout that element of bis party be
will not ride his harmony bobby to any
alarming extent. It is true that in the
appointment of a machine politician as
the successor of Postmaster Pearson be
bas offended the straight-backed civil
service reformers, but tbey by no means
constitute the body of mugwumps, for
among their number are many who
care nothing for the abstract principle
of civil service reform but look rather
to the record and character of candi
dates for public office as the surest test
of their honesty and capacity. No !
President Harrison will not make baste
to qjarrel with the mngwumps as a
political element. Jl'irrislurg Patriot.
YHII Blaine Resign I
A glance over the Cabinet does cot
reveal any very strong Blaine material
in its makeup. Noble and Miller are
the personal selection of the President.
ana juiner is openiy nostue to the
Maine Statesmen. Mr Windom 'a can
didacy In 1SS0 prevented Mr. Blaine's
nomination for the Presidncy. Proc
tor was backed by Edmunds, -and was
one of the oriainal Harrison delegates
at Chicago. Wanamaker was unknown
to politics before the last campaign.
Rusk was recommended by Senators
Spooner and Sawyer, who worked
against Blaine's nomination In 1SS4.
General Tracy is about tba only one
who could be counted on to side with
Blaine in the event of a Cabinet crisis.
"I believe," said an administration
Republican, "that Mr. Harrison before
leaving Indinanapolis anticipated Mr.
Blaine's early withdrawal from the
Cabinet. You will remember that it
was given out that Law partner MiN
ler's appointment as Attorney Genera)
was only temporary. Mr. Harrison exs
pected that he would be compelled to
reorganize hU Cabinet before the end
of the summer.
'The time will come sdou, I fancy,
when Blaine's friends will Insist that
be sever his connection with the admin
istration. They will tell hire to do this
if he wishes to retain his self-respect
and the respect of his friends.
"Mr. Ilarriaon came to Washington
jealous of Blaine. It was noticeable in
almost every remark dropped by mem
bers of the Harrison household. The
paragraphs in the press to the effect
that Blame was going to 'run things'
made Harrison very angry. It wounded
his vanity severely. Had he been a big
ger or broader man he would not have
noticed them. As it was, however, he
started ia with the grim determination
to be 'boss' himself and to give the
country au early knowledge of the fact.
This may have intluenced his course in
regard to Mr. Blaine, but I believe on
the whole that his policy has bten care
fully premeditated.
"It is about time for Mr. Blaine's
friends to step in and call a halt. We
do not relish seeing our leader huinlll
ted. Harrison had better look out.
He :s without a single warm friend in
the Senate, He will have hard work
getting his nominations con firmed if he
has an open rupture with Blaine. The
fur will fly and no mistake The
G. O. P. may go to piecps, but whose
fault will it be ? The storm may be
averted, but the ky fs very dark at
present." A'. Y. World.
On to Oklahoma.
It Is expected theie will be another
outlet opened for the uueasy Oklahoma
boomers by the commission recently
appointed by the President to negotiate
the purchase of 0,000,000 acres of land
LI tfle Ild"n Territory. It will assem
ble In Washington next Monday, and
as soon thereafter as their instructions
can be given to them probably within
three or four days they will leave for
Muscogee, the capital of the Cherokee
Natioa. The expectation is that the
commission will finish Its work within
GO or 90 days at the farthest. It is em
powered to offer the Cberokees SI 25
acre for the land.
The only opposition to the purchase
will come, it is believed, from the cattle
syndicates which are grazing their
herds on the land which it is proposed
to...bT. Tbeir opposition, however,
will be largely neutralized by the fact
that the purchase money will be placed
!$-i?st wh,chwiII pay the Indians
WoO.CXX) a year Instead o? f 250.000 a
year, which is the entire amount receiv
ed by them from the cattle men. Should
the Indians refuse to sell, an effort will

the land without paying them a cent.
Bat . that notion will hardly prevail.
These Jands together with the territory

strength to draw them. But be tackled
one yeaterday that came so much easier

a few minutes after.
It Is asserted that tbe smallest screws
In tbe world are those used in the produc
tion of watches. Thus, tbe fourth jewel
wheel screw Is tbe next thing to being In
visible, and to tbe naked eyn It looks like
dust ; with a glass, however, it is seen to be
a small screw, with 2f0 threads to tbe Inch,
and with a very fine glass the threads may
be seen quite clearly. These minute screws
are 4-l,000th of an Inch In diameter, and the
beads are double ; It is alo eatimatad that
an ordinary ladv's thimble would hold 100.-
000 of these screws.

burg. The sum of rwo.000 Is divided among

The Louisville Bridge & Iron com
pany's machine shops at Louisville. Ky.,
were completely destroyed by fire at mid.
night last Monday, causing a loss or fDO,
000. The shops were a one-story corruga
ted Iron building about four hundred feet
ia length. The fire was discovered by tte
night watchman, but before tbe fire depart
ment could arrive tbe flames had gained
such headway that the building was de
stroyed. A great deal of valuable machin
ery was ruined. Tbe loss Is fully covered
by insurance, but a definite statement can't
be given by the manager this morning. The
fire is supposed to be Incendiary.
One of tbe most interesting natural cu
riosities of Lycoming county, Pennsylvania,
is situated In Rose valley about six mile
from Trout run. It consists of seven naturs
al wells extending almost ttralght down
ward to a depth unknown. Large stones
cast in some of these wells go rumbling
down, making a coarse, raspiDg sound at
first as thejt, strike against tbe sides of the
well, growing fainter and fainter until lost
by the distance. Near these wells Is a cave,
the mouth of which is large enoagh for a
horse to enter. Several gangways lead off
from tbe main entrance to large, separate
chamDers, and from these other passage
ways lead ofi probably to unexplored cham
bers. Tbe extensive freight depot on the Bos
ton and Lowell railroad, with Its contents,
principally Western and Canadian freight,
was destroyed by fire at Boston, Mass., In a
peculiar manner Iat Tuesday nlgbU In
tbe morning of that day a steamship from
Savannah arrived, having as part cargo
one hundred bales of cotton consigned to
Montreal. As tbe last load was being de
livered, shortly before 6, a slender thread of
smoke waa discovered coming from one of
the bales. Instead of carting it away tbe
freight-handler foolishly cut tbe bale opt n
to put the fire out. It at once burst into
blaze and set fire to the adjacent bales
which Ignited a tank of kerosene. Alter
this tbe whole building went like a flash
aided by two barrels of blasting powder
which exploded. A tram of thirty loaded
cars for Montreal, with engine and cabocse
attached, ready to leave In five minutes was
unable to get out. The locomotive and
four cars got away, but the remainder wrs
destroyed. Tbe fire got into the three big
grain elevators adjoining the depot and thf y
went quickly up into smoke. Tbey were
valued at flOO.OOO and conUined $200,000
worth of Chicago and Canadian wheat No
potMibla estimate of !c& aa yet can be given:

Wbiakev Kills.
How often are we yet to be told that
whiskey kills ? Arsenic kill ; opium kills,
and so do hundreds of other good remedies
kill If abused instead of yued. But ask the
question. "Will whiskey cure ?" "Yes I" is
me positive reply of tbe most eminent phy
aicians of all the land. Disease steals Into
yoar system like a sneak tbief Into your
nouse, ana oiten Dy neglecting a bad cold,
we end our days to lingering, and wishing
for health when. Indeed, one bottla of Pure
WhuJcey or Brandy would have cured the
cold. Such goods may be scarce, but they
con bt found at Max Kleins. 82 Kederal
