The Frohlhltlen l'arty.
The Prohibition party lias set (mil
with a fully equipped presidential ticket.
The nominations are respectable se fur
aa we knew them, the presidential can
dldate coming te his promotion legiti
mately from the ofllce of governor with
which he has been twlce honored by the
poepto of Kansas. The gubernatorial
Office in a Reed nursing place for states
men, and aa Gov. St. Jehn approved
himself te his people for reelection once,
though he was defeated en his third
essay, along with his party, it may be
assumed that he Is fair presidential
timber. He has ceme up from a low
estate, having been a ragged wanderer
en the plains in his jeutli ; later he
was a captain in the army, and
afterwards a successful lawyer. We
would tint veuture te say that
the Prohibition party would net have
dene us well by keeping te their old
presidential candidate and swaddling
clothes attendant, our esteemed fellow
citizen, James lllack, es 1. Hut doubtless
tie assembled partyat Pittsburg thought
it would be well te put en fresh aspect
with a new figure-head. Mr. Black
draped the ticket with its platform as of
old, and albeit some of the delegates
thought it tee voluminous in its folds
and tee ample in its words, the ceuveu
tien accepted it as a whole, Willi a pin
dent recemmittal of it after adoption te
the hands of Mr. Black and a couple of
literary colaberers, te polish it up te the
queen's English standard. If the com
mittee can mauage te tell just what the
principles of their party are in a few
words they will confer a favor uihiii the
community. Hut as the convention
was afraid te tinker the platform te suit
the taste of all the delegates. the commit
tse will doubtless exercise a prudent
care te avoid any very clo3e definition of
their political principles. We are afraid
the Prohibition party is held te be a
party of cranks. If It was differently
constituted and led it might become a
formidable political party ; and, as it Is,
the. probability lli.tt it will poll au
increased vote in this campaign
and it may be that it will
become an important political
factor. There is undoubtedly a grew
ing feeling in the country against
the intemperate use of intoxicating
liquor, which is the cause of se much
crime, it is undoubted that intemper
ance is net ceut rolled by the adimnislra
ters of the law, as the law declares it
shall be ; and the consequence is that
many geed people fly te total prohibition
of the use of intoxicating beveragts as a
panacea for the woes that flew from its
intemperate use. It would net se prove,
as experience shows. The trouble is net
se much with our laws as with their
execution ; aud with the public senti
ment that endorses the laxity in the
administration of justice.
The true Democratic theory is that
men should be left, as nature leaves
thorn, te be the keepers of their own ap
pontes, iwmg ficin responsible for any
evil done le their fellows in the gratifi
cation of them. If that responsibility
is properly enforced, society is in well
protected against its evil uiemlH-rs
as it can be.
Open Fer Business.
With the selection of a chairman of ll e
national committee the Democratic
campaign may be said te be f,url
opened. The- notification of the candi
dates aud their letters of acceptance
will seen fellow, aud early in August the
battle lines will be formed for a three
months struggle, as much fiercer and
absorbing than any previous electoral
contest, as the number et voters in
terested is larger aud the desperation of
the party hi power is greater than ever
before.
The ilrst skirmish of the contest will
be in Maine ; the opposition have the ad
vantage there of a Republican majority
and that their candidate is essentially of
that state and will be supported friiii
considerations et state pride. On tin.
ether hand his control of the party has
been aa tyrannical as was ever th.it of
the Cameren dynasty in this state, and
has ettlraes, of late, borne the fruit of
disastrous revolt. Its majority has been
whittled down and sometimes entirely
lest; should it drop below 10,000 In the
September electleus the " direction " t f
Maine will ba a linger w toward Re
publican defeat.
On the bread fields of Ohie aud among
the West Virginia mountains, in Octo
ber, will occur the great battle for pesi
tien hi me novemeor iignr, ami upon
the results there will depend largely the
fate of tlie final struggle. Should Ohie
ba carried by the Democrats,
Maine will net command 100 votes in
the electoral college ; the contest will
ba practically ended, It will be simply a
question of Democratic majorities in
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts.
"West Virginia la the position upun
which the Republicans stake their hopes.
Uy a fusion with the (Jreenluckers
thore and through Democratic dls dls
aenslens, they are boastful of carrying it.
The Democratic state convention Just
held tliere lias been a stormy one, but
that clrcutnstanse is propitious, it
Bhewsthat the light was fought out.
That kind of conventions de net presage
defeat at the election. It is the dead
calm of indifferences or the qulet aiid
sullen dissatisfaction of an everslaughed
minority that bodes danger.
Should Ohie vete ltepubllcau-whteh
Is net at all certain, in view of a dis
organized llepubllciiu party and a well
equipped Democratic organization thore
aud West Virginia Democratic, the
battle will be waged all along the line,
the lighting being concentrated en the
half-dozen Northern states which are
popularly classed as " doubtful."
With such a field and outlook the
obvious Democratic, duty everywhere is
application te the task of organization.
In 18S0 the abandonment of Peuusyl
vauia te the enemy enabled them te
spare much or their local resources for
their party lu Indiana. Men and money
)vere furnished from this state for that
under Jehn Cessna's direction. Tliere
will be no repetition of that performance
allowed.
The crlnie of forgery is tee common
in this community for our business repu
tntlen. It is tee often condoned se as
te save the amount of the forged
paper. The banks and bankers who are
Imposed en should occasionally make an
example of the offender. Anether phase
of ceniineicial dishonor Is the discredit
Ing of genuine paier as feiged, in order
te evade liability. One 01 the ether of
these crimes lias been committed in the
Hosteller case. Let the ti nth le dis
closed and the rascal sent lejall, who
ever he is.
Tint New Yerk .Sn thinks that sle
ries against the personal character of
candidates, first started in a political
campaign, are very ineffective weapons
of assault, as they are charged te political
maleovelenco and their truth or falsity
is net demonstrated under the drawn
s'.auces. Experience shows that this is
true. Gov. Cleveland will probably net
dignify with a denial any talts about his
life, which are sure net te le generally
credited, and the denial of which would
net be believed by these who wan te it--liove
the stories.

iue story is usually geed until another
is told. The It & (,'. tailread manage
ment has been severely criticised because
ou Tuesd ty livening, upon the return of
the Trinity Lutheran picnic from Lititz,
the train was nut inn down te the
West King streel station. Ttie company
maintains that it had the best of reaseus
for net doing se ; ami further tint no
authorized representative of the read ever
agreed te de it. The management of the
leid declares thai its correspondence and
contract with the picnic pimple show that
tbe railroad company did nut agree te tun
the return train te the Stevens house. On
the ciMitiary.it was specially agreed that it
would net return te King street nnd it was
a condition of the contract that the train
should step at the outer station. The
superintendent bad geed reasons for this
stipulation, among them being the danger
of accident from jumping ou or ell a slowly
moving train, and the impossibility el
safely running such u heavy train down
and up the grade of Water street.
Whatever misunderstandings occurred
between the train hands and the excursion
ists resulted from the uuatitheii'.ed ac's
of Supt. Wilsen's subordinates, who
tempeiarily yielded te the importunities
of the managers of Hi picne, te make
the concession and run the tuun te King
street a couceHsion, which the superiii
temlenl instantly leveked upon being
apprised et it. The r.iilie.ul company did
