worth lifetime to have it to say, the Gin

rights of labor, and steadfast in upholding
their realization.
eff the struggle which so far has passed
over with benefit to all classes, was one in
which class was to be arrayed against class
in which labor was to become the antag-
onist of eapital-in which the poor were to
have been set against the rich, and in which
walls of separation were to have been
erected; the Cincinnati Suns course would
be clear, true, independent and unshrink-

Maine Law in Maine.

The advocates of the bottle continu-
ally assert that even in Maine the Law
is not enforced-that it is null and void.
We therefore submit the following ex-
tract from letter written by gentle
man OF the highest responsibility to
friend in Detroit. He says: .i bs.n a
ain our State, the most desperate OPP
position is made by set OF political
demagogues-men OF desperate fortunes
and irresponsible characters. But thus
far we have maintained our Positions
One thing would say to our western
friends, could we gain their ear. do not

pers which oppose our law. ..f. "ii
Such here certainly speak falsely
The most unfair and false statements are
made to prejudice the public mind. One
thing Is true, the great majority OF the
voters in Maine are in favor flaw. .a
"Tell your friends another fact. Our
law is most popular where II Is the most
strictly enforced. In this town the
trsilic is entirely suppressed. We have
a population OF near ten thousand, and
not one grog shop 10 the place. The

teal exhibition Of is effects. Crime

pense will be removed, and property will

From the Tribune
New York Election.

II was Charles Townshend, il we
rightly remember. from whom Sheridan
borrowed his bon mot on the Peace Of
Amiens, that II was one "of which every
body was glad, and nobody was prona.'
The remark applies with equal force To
the result ofour Election. The Wings
have the Canal Board. the State Depart
ments and both branches Of the Legisla-
ture. vet nobody imagines that the
Wing party as such deserves any credit
for this result. Its attitude is that Of n
clown into whose cap a traveller has
chucked dollar, Just for the sake OF en-
joying his amazement The Democrat
ic party saw fit to quarrel and throw the
State away; and the Wings have II be-
cause they could not help themselves. y
Apart from the battle Of the Hard
Shells and soft shells the Maine Law
was the live issue in this canvass, and
doubtless called out many thousand vo-
tiers who would otherwise have staid at
home. We believe a Legislature has
been chosen which will recognize the
necessity of passing such law, and will
strive to do it promptly, heartily and
effectively. No intelligent man can
longer doubt that the Maine Law is to be
tried in this State; and we appeal to foes
rs well as friends to take care that IL has
a full and fair trial. ff .Nl

s. f. Cary has delivered one hundred and
Twenty-Five public speeches in ten differ

His travelling expenses exceeded fourteen
hundred dollars. By the kindness and

dollars of his expenses were paid. The
drafts upon his energies and his means,
made to sustain the good cause, have
been so excessive, that he is determined

The Ne,o York Tribune is responsible
for the following:
SEVERE PUSIsHMESr.-A fellow down
East having been found guilty OF viola
ting the Maine Liquor Law in disposing
Of ardent, and rascally stuff at that, re-
ceived the following sentences: "You
old roprobate! The court sentences
you to drink three glasses of your ras-
cally liquor, and may the Lord have
mercy oil your belly"
Now we undertake to say that any
law that provides for inflicting such a
penalty as that. would be clearly uncon-
stitutional in Indiana, and ought to be
every where. Our constitution says
that "cruel and unusual punishments
shall not be inflicted" To compel any
man to drink "three glasses" Of a CON-
pound of raw whisky, logwood, and Co
culus Indigus is too cruel to be tolerated
in any civilized country. it is murder
in the first degree.

RaiIroad and Toncv Mnttcr,.

Mr.. Smith, President of the Evans
vile, Indianapolis and Cleveland Straight
Line Railroad Company, writing from
New York, SAYS:
"There is an unusual stringency in
money matters, and the best posted can
only hope for a favorable change within
the next few months: Railroad bonds
and stocks are visited in all quarters
with extreme pressure, regardless of
their intrinsic value as a permanent in
vestment. The prices at which our
Indiana stocks and bonds could be sold
here il pressed upon the market, prove
nothing as to their real value; indeed
there is no demand for such Securities
at this time, no matter what the charac-
ter Of the road may be. Our people
should be content to hold on to their
stocks and bonds that they know to be
safe. and not be alarmed by the crisis
into ruinous sacrifices. Operators in
Wall street look blue; the millions that
they have made on the rise OF stocks and
bonds, are rapidly slipping from their
fingers, by the effects OF the times.
"New York is filed with railroad men,
seeking, but not finding, accommoda-
tons. Companies and contractors, are
meeting on the same Change without
success. The consequence is, that the
old roads will have to do with their sin.
gle tracks, and large number Of the
new ones must suspend operations, for
the time being, at least, for the want Of
funds. The price OF rair Dad labor and
materials will come down, and such roads
as ought to be and can be built, that are
demanded by the public, will cost much
less than was anticipated. We shall
move on with our Road, safely and eau
tlously, contracting no debts that we
cannot meet, so as to secure the stock
holders from all contingencies, until we
shall be prepared for more rapid mo-
ton. These times cannot last. Our
country was never more prosperous in
all the elements that compose monetary
affairs. The wars and commissions In
Russia and Turkey, even should they
involve England and France in their
contests, can but operate favorably TO
the United States, alter the temporary
effect on eur monetary affairs shall pass
away, so long as We maintain our true
policy Of feeding all ut high prices, and
receiving their surplus funds for safe in
vestment, without involving ourselves In
their struggles for power"
