Won, lUpsher'a Anntysls of tlie Question
In It I-gal Status.
' tfrrom the Philadelphia Record. 1
It w generally admitted that the human
rvce would be better off, that the future of
kKmaaltr would bo elevated Into a higher
moral and intellectual realm If drunken
ns, or eten so-called moderate drinking,
were utterly abolished. But when the .Irons;
am of the law Is Invoked to forco this do
ilrable result the practical questions come
p: Can intemperance be abolished by stat
mtef VTlll Prohibition prohibit? and, more
than all else, Is It safe public policy to do
of If the answers to theso questions be
ioubtfnl, then the moralist and statesman
kould hesitate, call a bait and consider
open the wide field of natural right and
personal liberty " Nature's Eminent Do
main "before total prohibitory law Is on'
acted. It is a two-edged sword. But re
strletlon and regulation of the liquor traQlc
wa must bare, for tbo same reason that we
bare many other laws to regulate human
conduct It Is exceedingly dlfllcnlt to get
even the ablest of men, who baye once be
come Infatuated with tbe Prohibition doc
trine, to discuss the subject with an thing
Ilk judicial calmness. An examination of
the recent discussion In the August num
ber of the North American Hetieui strik
Ingly discloses this feature of the leading
Prohibition arguments. Dr. Funk tells the
reader of the North American Review that
" the strongest argument for Prohibition "
Is, that "with the masses that .which the
law permits Is right, and that which the
law forbids is wrong "ergo, It driuklng Is
prohibited bt law the masses will come to
believe drinking moral! wrong.
DEFYINO TUB LAW.
Bnt think a moment. Tbe law prohibits
Haggling, vet people not only refuse to
consider smuggling Immoral, but actually
Justify false swearing because smuggling
can't be carried on without it. Scarce a
day passe that hundreds of otherwise bou
at and reputable men and women many
of them active and sincere Christians do
mot solemnly call on God to witness false'
hood, and excuse tbe deed on the grouna
t " raer legal formality." Tbe law for
bids the employment of young children in
factories, and parents unhesitatingly lie
about their children's ages. S far from
It being true that men regard as Immoral'
that which the law forbids, the converse is
the rule, and men unhesitatingly defy or
vad laws which forbid action's not in
themselves Immoral.
The sympathy of .civilization is with the
Irish member of Parliament Imprisoned
for addressing prohibited meetings; yet
the eye of tbe law the imprisoned members
ar a criminal a any othormlsdeuieanants
untenable btatemhkts.
Rev, Charle F. Deems. makes an untena
ble series of statements. " It Is, to say tbe
least," be says, "very doubtful whether
th mei who now make a living by the
liquor traffic could get worlcln mines and
factories, and in a thousand productive
arts, If they wanted to." There are thous
aids of Idle man, not liquor dealers, nor
llqnor makers, nor liquor drinkers, who are
looking for work In mines and factories
and productive arts and can't find It. Ben
ator Blair Informs us tkat "science has
proved alcohol to be a poison a's undlsputa
bly a strychnine," which, If it were true
would be a queer argument for Prohibition
luce strychnine, In moderate doses, Is one
of the safest and most commonly used ot
tonics. General Dow asserts that "Prohl
Won ha failed nowhere that It has been
adopted," yet admits In a succeeding par
agraph that " tbe liquor traffic, so far as
Its Interests are concerned, controls abso
lutely the legislation of the nation and of
the State and cilice; so we find It difficult
everywhere, and In Maine Impossible, for
the moment, to obtain anch legislation as
we require for tho extermination of the
fraction of tbe liquor traffic yet remaining.
President Iiiscom urges us to " dry up the
streams of Intoxication that flow Into our
cities and appetite will no more create beer
and whisky than thirst furnishes water or
than hunter supplies food," an argument
which, to say tbe least, Is as strong against
th efficacy of Prohibition as for It. lion.
G. F, Stewart, calmly assuming as a prop
osition which, as he says, none will deny
"wa mlad art not clouded by personal
yartlclpatten In the evil," that the manu
facture and sale of alcoholic beverages In
aay form Is a moral crime which Is a sheer
bagging of the question goes on to argue
" that to llceas or to regulate the llqupr
traffic weald be as absurd as the licensing
r regulation of petit larceny."
TDK DUTT OF TIIK OOVKIINUEXT.
But President Seelye argurs the question
In a spirit of fairness, and Ids strongest
point consist In his endorsement of Mr.
Gladstone's dictum, that " it Is the duty of
Government to make it as hard as possible
lor a man to go wrong, and as eas as poi
slble for him to go right." It Is, however,
a easy matter to assent to Mr. Gladstone's
proposition without agreeing with Presl
e'en I Seelye' conclusion. Throughout these
attractive essays there runs this untenable
argument and reassuring assumption that
certain things must be true because the
writers firmly belief them to make for
righteousness, and therefore raise a polltl
col Issue which, In their opinion, all good
cllUent are In duty bound to espouse. In
deed, these article bar a ttrong tendency
to snake one feel that bis raoral and bis
Mental soundness Is suspected by the full
sledged Prohibitionist If be presumes to crit
icise theso Illogical positions.
MOnS FALSE HEABONINO.
Th complete Prohibition doctrine Is that
Mankind should be forbidden by law to
Manufacture alcohol, to buy It, to sell It, to
us It, to touch lu Why f Because, briefly
expressed, some people abuse their crivl
lege and natural right, and because It
lends to lead them Into temptation and seas
ot trouble. If tbla be a sound reason for
Prohibition, fo t tvjoreei by lav, then It
U Impossible to name one Inalienable nal
ural right of mankind personal, political
r religious which that line of reasoning
and belief would not legitimate! takeaway
from the human race whenever a majority
or a ploralty would so decree. Are tbe
American people ready te assent to such, a !
tlltlcal proposition?
Let n draw a parallel It may safely be
ld that tber are many more Iron and
earaeel Christian throughout the United
State who flraly believe that rellcioa be
lief, religious practice and conduct are of
far greater Moment not ouly In this llfe.but
la tbe boundless, limitless eternity beyond
the grave, than th comparatively email
Moral or political question of Prohibiten
In this world. Therefore, If Prohibition be
a good thing and a desirable political issue,
why would It not be J tut as valid and proper
fer'aaotbsr set of ma, or for th same
, a Uaher ala f aa&al d re-
'ZaMumm'
I coui'Utsonr ciiVTtcu ooiKo.
I For example, tbat evert man, woman an 4
child of proper ge should be compelled by
law to attend church or divine service twice
on every Sunday, because such a party of
men believe It would be so very much bet
ter (or their eternal welfare to do so than
to neglect It or to do as they pleased about
IL Tbe most conservative Prohibitionist
must admit that the preparation for eternal
life Is of far more consequence than Prohi
bition. If this be so, and the enactment ot
law be so efficacious, why should this all
(important religious question not he brought
Into practical politics? And tho logic would
lose none of Its force If the agitation should
be directed In tho interest of some panic
ulai church, because It la fair to assume
tbat souse particular church Is nearer the
true faith than some others, with the prob
abilities in favor of the suggestion that only
one church and on creed can be the true
and genuine one. It Is no answer to this
argument to say tbat such a thing could
nuvsr bo accomplished that It Is an unfair
argument because tbe idea appears to be
Impracticable. A large majority of the
people mako the same objection to Prohi
bltlon.
A MENACIC TO PERSONAL LIDEItTV
Hy object Is simply .o call attention to
the threatening menace to personal llborty
which stares us In the face when wo attempt
to go beyond a given safety line In the en
actment of laws which invade and take
away our beliefs and isms, the inalienable
and nstuial rights of man. The funda
mental maxims of government enunciated
bv Thomas Jefferson, tbe author of the De
claratlon of Independence, would deny to
overy Legislature, Federal and Slate, the
power to restrain the individual liberty of
the citizen except in so far as tbat liberty
may be directly harmful to another,
Following these precepts the people of
this country have ever maintained a bold
front of uncompromising hostility to all at
tempts at tampering with their natural and
Inalienable rights. Whatever freedom of
thought and conduct we enjoy to-day In
matters of personal liberty, faith and rellg
lous belief are largely due to tho jealousy
and strength of our numerous conflicting
religious deuomlnatlons and also to tbe
envy and power of our political parties. In
considering this dangerous political condl
tlon, careful distinction sbonld bo made bo
tween the terms politics and party politics,
All questions Involved In legislation are po
litical questions, but all political questions
are not party questions any more than they
ar moral questions.
PARTIES AND POLITICS.
Tho mass of legislation, civil and crlml
nal, Is of such a nature as to win the sup'
port and approval of all good citizens
Irrespective of party; and so general and
unconscious Is this acceptance that these
precepts and penalties possess the dignity
of unwritten law. Part questions are such
as involve essential I heorles of construction
but party questions are not always party
issues a party issue being a contest be
tween tho people as sovereigns.
It is tho duty of a political party to place
In offices of governmental trast men who
represent in personal character, in execu
tive ability and In public policy tbe highest
political virtues of Its theory and system of
government. But it Is not th duty nor
tbe right of a political party, as such, to
champion tbe growth and development, of
politico-moral or religious questions.
political party should be a conservative
force in government. It should be aggreS'
slve only so far as it can safely go without
encroaching upon the inalienable rights
all the people. It should never forget that
its first duly is to hold fast to that which
civilization has demonstrated to be good.
INALIENABLE RIGHTS.
There are distinctive, Ill-advised forces
all the time at work which would dostroy
every sacred Inalienable right, every instt
tiition of good which has been left unto us
through peace and war. To protect that
which now exists Is the first duty of a po
litical party; and no party should volunla
rlly let go of any substantial good in the
constitution and laws of its country. Tbat
tho Prohibition party may soon become ex
tlnct is by no means Improbable, tltica tbe
National Temperance Society has recently
showu Itself ready to stake tbe whole tern
parance movement on the possibility of
proving, In the face of the scholarship of
tbe world, that the drink-offerings of the
ancient Levitlcal system were not made
with regularly matured wine, and the sxld
society even goes so far as to affirm that
this position cannot be maintained "it it
Inconsistentor Christiana to advocate total
abstinence." We may well pause when
the total abstinence feature of Prohibition
Is brought into such extreme peril, and
marvel at tbe melancholy Illustration of
human fallibility.
Yet It may be the dawning light that
sha'l lead tbose misguided enthusiasts out
of moral and political darkness into the full
light of personal liberty and unto souad
principles of government.

BROADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER
If any roan or woman supposes tbat
iplrltuallsin was knocked ont wben we
sent Madame Die Debar to rusticate on
Ulaekwell's Island for six months, accom
panted by her spiritual affinity tbe General,
let blm or her disabuse their Innocent
mind of any such foolishness; for we have
juit discovered another high spiritual
priestess and temple of spook philosophy
and revelation, and tbe sensation has been
enough to keep New Tork and Brookljn
all of a twitter for tbe week. It Is all
noi'sens to cry out fraud, humbug, luna
tic, Ac, Ac, 4c; all of these people
appear sane enough and talk sensibly
enough, but they do things that would
make your hair stand on end like quills up
on the fretful porcupine.
Mr. Carroll Is a successful stationer, and
Jrs. Stryker, tbe spirltnal goddess, Is not
a fool by a long shot. She knows a hawk
from a handsaw, and several other things
besides. Then she Is only thirty, with an
ye like a black diamond and a cheek like
a blooming peach. No wonder tbat Mr.
Carroll was magnetized. Mr. Carroll was
getting along toward the sixties ana Mrs.
Carrell was not far behind him wben they
lost their only eon, a young man aged
about twenty-eight, who, petted and
pampered and supplied with plenty of
money by his foolish parents, bad exhaust
ed the world and It measures, and com
pletely used up and blase, died a few years
after be bad attained bis majority. Of
course tbe blow was a terrible on to both
of bis parents, and under the dreadfol
strain tbe mother completely broke ciown.
Mrs. Stryker, whose mental telephone ex
tended Into spookdom. met Mr. Carroll a
few days after hi bereavement and in'
formed blm tbat she saw th spirit ot his
boy sitting on th top of his head. This
so delighted Mr. Carroll that he was not
exactly sure If he was standing en hi
bead r heels; but be got Mr. Stryker
lsejtdUvUlf U IsUnUw tke gkeek Das
told the fattier that tbe jpuug man was en
)Inn hlmssM hugely In klnRdom com;
that be had hie dog and his guns, hi
horse and his yacht, and, moreover, a
young spiritual divinity named Bright
Kjes wa paying him marked attention;
and In short, he was getting along as com
fortably as any young man could be ex
pected to be under the circumstances. Tho
bereaved and doling fathor was delighted
to hear 11; he declared that nothing was too
good for "Cliff." From this time ont Mr,
Carroll appears to have deyoted'hlmsclf to
Mrs. Striker. Mrs. Striker removed from
her humble appartments In Brooklyn U
lgant quarter In New Tork; her house
became a marked spiritual centre; seances
were bold eyery day and every night, and
shekels rolled in by th bag-full. Fiye
dollars a pop for communications with tho
lost husbands ordeparted wives; and weep
ing widows who wanted to know what
their future chances wore In the matrlnionl
at market, were expected to come down
an extra two dollar and a half, A year
passed by, and Mrs. Striker said that
Cliff' (that wa th son) was going to be
married to Bright Eyes; this met with th
old gentleman's hcrty approval, as ho had
discovered himself, although he was sixty,
that it is not good for man to be alone.
Whan Mrs. Carrell found out that Mr,
Carroll was devoting to much attention to
Mrs. Striker, and that while Mrs. Stryker
was cutting around with Lyons silks and
three-piled velvet, she was haying a hard
time. Thereupon Mrs. Carroll got her
mad up and kicked up a lively shindy.
She made It exceedingly warm for Carroll
and somewhat lively for Mrs. Stryker, bat
Carroll was equal to the occasion. The
spirits Informed htm his wlfo was crazy as
a loon; be forthwith summoned acouple of
physicians and they Interviewed the dla
traded wife, and two days after she was
dragged out of her house and shut up In a
lunatic asylum. Mr. Carroll then moved
to Mrs. Stoker's house, and as the wed'
ding of his son with Bright Eyes approach
ed, he got up magnificent wedding Invlla.
Hons and sent them to all his friends.
The house was a bower of flowers,
spiritual clergyman was found to tie the
celestial knot, a couple of empty chairs,
wreathed In roses, were supposed to contain
Cliff and Bright Eyes; all the company
passed th chairs bowing to the unseen
spooks, and the affair wound up wltb a
magnificent supper--splrltual wedding
wound np in a blaze of glory.
After a time Jrs. Stryker announced
that a son had been born to Bright Eves
Cliff. Mi. Carroll was ready to stand on
bis head he was a grandfather; and the
priestess announced that th child would
be baptized in the middle of tbe Falls of
Niagara. Mr. Carroll hired. a special train
and carried np a party of a hundred splrltu
al friends to witness the ceremony. Down
they went to the Ilorseshoa Fall; no one
but Mrs. Stryker saw the spooks, but she
saw them as plain as a pikestaff. Mean
while poor Mrs. Carroll was fast behind
prison bars in a lunatic asylum, and no
spooks were trying to help her out, though
Mr. Carrell was spending her money like
water,
Opinions are divided as they were in the
case of O'Della. Some swear that Mrs.
Stryker is a true medium, haying a double
actloned telephonic communication with
the otber-slde of Jordan; and many more
equally profound, declare ske is a fraud of
tbe first water and ought to be sent to the
penitentiary. One thing is certain, Mr.
Carroll believes in her as firmly as Luther
Marsh did in Ann O'Della Dls Debar.
Luther Marsh Is not cured yet, and the
best thing now to do would be to have tbe
four of them go into partnership. They
would make a spirit team that woald make
Rome howl.
This, good people, is In the great city of
New Tork In the month of January, 1880.
We are wont to make fun of our Puritan
ancestors, and te deride their belief In
witches, and pride ourselves on our superior
intelligence In this J ear of grace, and yet at
that spiritual wedding and baptism were
doctors, lawyers and rich merchants tak
ing an active part in th ceremony, and
wben Madame Blavatzky gets back here,
which she will shortly, tbe high priestess
of Theosopby will hayo scores of anen and
women In her train among the most gifted
and intellectual of tbe land.- Few men ot
the century more gifted than Lanrance
Ollphant, a gentleman and an accomplished
scholar, yet be knelt at her feet1ke a
spaniel, and died belleylng In her ae a god
dess. There are plenty of spiritualists here,
men and women of tbe most unquestioned
intelligence and honor, who deprecate tbe
vagaries of these so-called spiritual pro
phets. Judge Daley, Mr. Tlce, Mr.
Keddle, for many years superintendent of
uur public schools, and Many others equally
prominent, but they are still unshaken In
their spiritual belief, and w may as well
make up our minds tbat rplrltuallsm has
come to stay. That I can't believe In It
may possibly be nothing to my credit, but
I can't. I am, unfortunately, constituted
like Thomas tbe apostle. I should want
to pnt my hand In the wound, and even
then I should b apt to distrust th evi
dence of my senses rather than believe In
any supernatural thing. But New Tork
offers a very fine field fur enterprising
mediums. Tbe crop of fools Is bountiful.
Let them come and reap the harvest.
Tbe end of a romance came suddenly
this week whose opening I watched with
Interest twenty-five years ago. It was in
the spring of 1863 when a well to do friend
ot mine rushed Into my bouse, his face all
beaming with smiles, and Informed me
that a boy baby had been left the night be
fore upon bis doer-step. Tbe gentleman
had no children of his own, so be recom
mended his wife to adopt it, which she did.
Tears rolled on and th child grew apace
handsome, bright, intelligent, affectionate,
and all tbat a son should be to bis parents.
The secret of his birth had been carefully
concealed from him, and bt bad so wound
himself around bis adopted mother's heart
that she felt as much affectlen for him as
If he had been her own flesh and blood
Tbe family removed to San Francisco, and
the adopted father of tbo child died. The
bond between mother and son was there-
after even closer than It was before: he.
perfectly satisfied In bis mother's love,
and she, leaning upon tbe son as the staff
ot her old age. Business being rather dull
In California at tbe time, and the mother
in her sorrow and lonelleness longing for
the scene ot her early home, she sent on
ber son in advance to see what chance
there was for establishing himself In New
Tork.
On his arrival In tbe city be called on an
old friend ot his mother's for counsel and
adylce, and thereafter mad bis friend's
office, which was on Broadway, bis bead'
quarters while looking about the eltv. One
day a lady, closely veiled and apparently
excited, entered tbe office and inquired for
tho young man, but ho was not in. She
called agalu twice with a like result. A
lost an appointment was made and she re
quested an Interview In private. She then
lat(MJ. bias tkat eke wu hi real atotker
and that the wan
blj father -tbi
whom he called father
tbat it was upon his reonest
he was left upon bis doorstep, and feeling
that the safety or ber child was assured,
she bid ber shame as best she could, and
after years she married a wealthy farmer
on Long Island and was then the mother
or five children. ATM breaking this ter
rible intelligence to him she wanted to em
brace hlra, but he cast ber from him and
rushed from the room as she fell fainting
on tho floor. She soon departed to return
no more, and the young man, whose life
had been blasted, wandered abont like
maniac. He returned to Sin Francisco,
but his mother was no longer Ills mother.
the old love was dead In bis heart; th
strain was loo much for her, and three
weeks after the laid her to rest on th bleak
side of Lone Mountain. Last week the
fatal drama ended la the upper room ot on
of the cheap hotels. Toung G. was dis
covered dead; a 32-callbre pistol told the
story of bis taking oil and so the curtain
falls on another Now York tragedy.
