MORE ZEAL THAN WISDOM.

The National Temperance Conven-
ton which has been In session at Sara
toga, N. Y, for two days past, ad-
journed last evening sine die. Among
the resolutions adopted was one de-
claring that the time had arrived to
fully introduce the temperance issue
In State politics, and recommending
all friends OF temperance to make
henceforth the paramount issue, to CO.
operate with existing party organiza-
tions whenever they indorse prohibit
ton and nominate candidates pledged
tolls support, otherwise TO organize a
separate party for action In every State
and Congressional Electoral District
Of the United States. This action ap-
pears to Us as radical az foolish, and
will absolutely neutralize the efforts
Of the friends Of temperance every
where. Whatever success has thus far
been achieved In the temperance cause
in a political way, has been by ALI
ance and stipulation with powerful
political organizations. 1t Is absurd
to form a separate party on this issue,
which 10 every State in the Union can
not and will not DO supported but by n
small minority. Such action shows
more zeal than wisdom. The friends
Of prohibition, as a separate political
organization, could neither legislate
nor dictate legislation, but asa minority
ally Of a powerful party, their influ-
ence and power for good Is material,
and can be used to further the ends dc.
sired. It Is evident that earnestness
and energy in a good cause will no.
always bring forth good results. a
little common sense, a few grains oil
wisdom and the leavon Of experience
Ia needed In the management of any
great and radical reform. The associ.
alton referred to seems to have been
minus In these essentials.

DR.. Wixom yesterday performed the
operation Of d~issectinga portion OF tho
skull of John Hockey, the man who
was injured by n cave In tho Grove
Tunnel about two weeks ago. Tho
operation consisted OF removing broken
portions Of the skull from the left tenn
pie to the side OF the head back Of the
ear, and replacing the dlssected por-
ton with an oyal-shaped silver plate
about four and a half inches In length
and two and a half In width. The op.
grafton was ~skillfully performed and
promises to be entirely successful. The
patient, although not under the infiu-
ence Of chlor0torin, bore himself nan
fully. scarcely tutoring a.groan during
the eutire operation. He rested easily
last night, aud Is more comfortable to-
day than le has been ut any time since
the accident occurred. The chances ap.
pear favorable for his speedy recovery.

GOOD.

Good news comes from Wllkcsbarre,
Pa. The Democratic State Convention
met there yesterday. The Committee
on Permanent Organization reported
the name Of one Of the salary grabbers,
r. NJ. Spear, Of the Seventeenth Con-
gresslonsl District as permanent Chair
man Of the Convention, and here Is
according to tho telegraphl what fol-
lowed:
At this point, A. II. SLATE, Of York,
interrupted and moved q non-concur-
renee OF the Convention in the report
Of the committee as far as read, giving
rs hi. reason that Spear had, as men,
Der OF Congress, taken back pay. The
motion and remarks Of MI. Slatz were
received with great applause by the
majority OF the Convention.
Spear replied, defending his actions
rs q public man, pleading his services
aud fealty to the party. and asking
the Convention not to give way to the
clamor Of the hour. He stated that he
had not sought the honor Of presiding
over the Convention, but now that the
committee had presented his name. he
hoped that he would not be stabbed In
the house Of his friends.
X. L. Monahan and W. D. Moore
supported the motion of SLATE, and de-
nouuced the salary grab In severe
terms. 81
c. w. Corrigan and ). Lawrence
spoke In behalf Of Spear. The latter
gentleman upheld the back pay bill
and was Kissed from the floor.
The sense Of the convention was
almost unanimous against Spear being
permanent Chairman, and he was wise
enough to see this. and In a short
speech withdrew his name, and moved
that the name Of DR.. Andrew Seb-
niger be substituted, which was car
ried.
All we have farther to say Is, that II
the Democratic party keeps on In that
way the old corpse, which has been so
often buried, both by its friends and
enemies, deserves to DO resurrected.
and we earnestly hope 1t will be. The
Pennsylvania Convention Is tho most
energetic fragment Of q dead body
which we have ever observed.

that the Davis faction Is unable to con-

WE are glad to know that the old max
i'm that the "receiver is as bad as the
thief - has not been entirely forgotten, as
we notice that some of the Congressman
who have tried to make personal capital by
appropriating their "back pay to local
purposes have not been strictly successful.
Roosevelt, of New York, thought to dis
tribute his share of the grab among the
school boards of his district, but one of the
boards has given public notice that it will
not accept donation that comes in such a
questionable way. Farnsworth of Illinois,
member who is good deal given to
I'buncombe," undertook to divide his back
pay between the different counties repre-
sented by him. The people of Kane county,
however, declined to participate in this
kind of humbug, and have directed that
what they received shall be returned to the
United States treasury, where it belongs.
These are some of the troubles that follow
the unworthy pursuit of personal gain.

Mexican Cruelty.

A fearful story is told of the Indian chief
and robber of Tepic-Lozada-wh has
but recently been brought before the pub
lie, and which for cruelty cannot find a
parallel.
In the small village of San Luis, near
Topic, there has been discovered subter-
raneous apartment, constructed especially
for the prosecution of horrible crimes, and
in this was found, not long since, man
who for fourteen years had not seen the
light of day. Unshaven and unwashed,
and doubled by feebleness, and withal
bereft of sense when discovered, he is said
to have had more the appearance of a wild
animal than humanity.
From motives of revenge Lozada had
him incarcerated in the sepulchre, and
formerly would seem to have taken espe-
cial pleasure in witnessing the tortures of
this unhappy man, visiting him daily for
that purpose, aud taunting and mocking
him in his helpless misery. The wretched
man was placed on his release in charge of
physician, who is obliged to use the ut
most prudence in bringing him forth from
his living tomb to enjoy once more the lib
erty of life; and, even with the greatest
care, it is thought his enfeebled system
will not sustain the shock such change
may bring to it.
The Bloomfield times. [volume] (New Bloomfield, Pa.) 1867-187?, 1873-06-10
Very Strict,

The Cunard line of steamers has certain
"personal" regulations which a captain
can only break in emergencies of the most
serious kind, and the result of their we'll
defined instructions has been that they
never lost a passenger. Some of these regu-
lations, indeed, are so strict as to be some
what amusing. Forinstance, not very long
ago the master of one of their Liverpool
and New York fleet having a short time
previously taken to himself wife, applied
for permission to take his helpmate with
him for just one voyage. The request was
granted more readily than he had anticipa-
ted, but, as it turned out, the company
took one view of the transaction and the
captain another. Proceeding as usual to
superiutend the removal of the steamer
from the dock to the river, he was astound-
ed to find brother captain in the act OF
giving orders. Explanations were given,
and it transpired that though the company
were not unwilling that Captain -
should take his wife to America, they were
not disposed to trust him with the ship also.
One charge was sufficient where the lives OF
nearly thousand passengers and the safety
of very largo amount of property were
concerned. The story illustrates very forci-
bly, the manner in which the Cunard pio-
prietors have obtained their reputation
both for speed and safety.
