Tho Prchibltiea Party- Whatever stiunlini; the w-lf-nt vl-il Prohibition purl y 1ms in tin-confi-l(iirt of tin pt-oplc of tins country retn nobly upon tin- fuct that ft few noble men, for reasons tiiitUfiu'tory to thfinmlvi'H. have friven it tho ul liunrc (if their iiiuiicH ainl influence. Such me-u art Gen. Xoul Dow, .Itiiiu'sDltu-k, Gi uic W. 5iin. the l'o'V. Dr. Miner nn.l pirliapH a neore of others of similar life-lout record in workn of reform mid philanthropy, run indulge in occasional eccen tricity of political method without forfeiture of their claim to the love and respect of all true men and wo men. J'.ut in no sense do these veterans represent the '"Prohibition party.'' nor are they represented by it. It is an entirely different class of men that make the party slates, pull the party win s and hatf the party jjaine. although the tolerance of the few true n I'm lm -r. makes it possible for tlie much cheaper men to debase the party's standard and "look out for the main chance." The party in question, as an or ganization, has no record of credi table performance, but only of abounding pretension and profes sion : none of bravery, but plenty of bravado ; none of true independence but plenty of impudence. It claims the credit ol the work that others have wrought, and tries to impose upon others the responsibility of the disasters tothecauseit pretends to serve consequent upon its own foolish, if not wicket, tactics. It habitually earns and receiver! the plaudits of its nominal enemies and appears to find pleasure therein. I'p to the presi nt moment it has no visible power or inlluence as an or ganization, except as promoting the domination of the whiskey ring and the liquor saloon political party. These are plain words, but they are based upon actual records, whose significance cannot be mis taken by those who will take the trouble to examine them. Prohibition, in behalf of whose establishment the "Prohibition party" claims to exist, has, as a principle or policy, made mighty . A. 1 J . hiuiies uuring ine last ten years, and it is both wise and just to com pare tho actual strength of that principle or policy with that of the party that claims to be its sole rep resentutive. AVe appeal to the facts as officially re corded. 18M0, Kansas gave 12.302 votes for prohibition, but had no "prohibi tory party." 1KH2, Iowa gave l.VUM votes for prohibition, but. like Kansas, at that time was not classed with a "prohibitory party." InlKKl, Ohio gave 32:),li". votes for prohibition, of which ,'M2 came from a "prohibitory party." In lhsi, Maine gave 70,783 votes for prohibit ion, of which 1,151 cuiuo from the "party." In lHHrt, Massachusetts gave for prohibition (nominally anti-license) 109,782 votes, with the party casting 8,251 votes. In 18HC, Rhode Island gave 15,100 votes for prohibition and 2,585 for "party. " The six States above named gave each a majority for prohibition, the aggregate majority being 187,604. Their total aggregate vote in favor of prohibition was 700,593 and their aggregate party vote, at same time was 20,340, or, in other words, the vote for prohibition was nearly forty times os large ob that for the "party" of large prehensions. AVe come next to Michigan, where, in 1H87, 178,050 votes were given in favor of prohition and 18,508 for the "party." Michigan gave a larger proportion of "party" vote than either of tho States we have named but it was tho first Republican State voting upon prohibition that failed to give a majority in its sup port. Competent authority declares that the failure to enact prohibition in Michigan is directly chargeable to the partisan Prohibitionists, but, be that as it may, tho actual record is as above stated. In the same year (1887). there came next, Oregon, with 1!,'J73 votes for prohibition and 2,775 for "party," Tennessee with 117,5V1 votes for prohibition and none for "party," and Texas, with 12'..273 for prohibi tion and l!,18f,.r "party." And so we find, in these ten States 1.21 l.'.t'.w actual votes cast for abso- lute "prohibition," more than niiu teen-twentieths of which were out side of the party of large pretensions and sm-dl performance. Has not the bombastic humbug been tolerated about long enough ? Has it organically done anything ex cept support a few adventures for revenue only, and soothe the anguish of a few disgruntled politicians ? If so, what f Instead of being a pioneer or lea der in the great reform whose name it has usurped, instead of helping to bear the burdens of that reform, it loads itself upon the reform's shoul ders and demands to be carried by it, and claims an assignment of the seats of honor and ud vantage that belong of right to the working party wnoso nicmiiers it treats with con tempt. Hanson Wears Well As a candidate Gen. Benjamin Harrison of Indiana wears well. He has been exposed to the tierce light that beats on the Presidential nom inee for two months ; he has talked just enough to show everybody how well he could talk, and how well he knew what to say and what not to say ; and his remarks have delight ed his friends and disappointed his enemies. Not only has" he never said the wrong thing, but ho has generally said the strong, the sin cere thing and the positively and reasonably right thing. J his contrast between General Harrison and some other candidates and orators old Mr. Thurman for instance will strengthen the confi dence of intelligent, high minded ami patriotic citizens in him. He has convinced every emo that he is an earnest, honest man, chock full of brains and tact, pe rfe e tly self pt sessed. never slopping over, never saying rash things. Such a man is not like ly to be anybody e lse's man if elected President. Harrison's ad ministration will be a Harrison ad ministration and that will be the l .1.. a.- -ii . . uesi inuuuiisii anon possinie. il is the only kind of administration liar risou is built for. hat is this fishery eiucstion 1 It is simply whether Canada shall have more rights and authority in catching fish in the waters around and about the lines between Cana dian territory and the United States. It is over one year since the Cana dians first denied to our fishermen the right to ship their fish duty free through Canadian ports to the Unit ed States, and it is (surprising, as Senator Edmonds, remarked, that with tho means at his command, the President has failed to take any step, and now sends to Congress a mes sage asking for more power. It looks very much as if his chief aim in send ing his message to congress was to draw the attention of the country from the tariff epiestiou, discussion of which is working so sad havoc in the rank and file of the Democracy. But before he is much older he w ill discover that his scheme won't work. TheU nion Labor State Convention in session at Williamsport yesterday dcclured for protection, and where- ever labor is found united it will al ways voice the same sentiment. Protection is the life of the American laborer. V 1 9 !-r C 11 IC rv 1 OMPOUND t THE CELEBRATED NERVE TONIC."
