DANGER IN THE TEAPOT,

Look not upon the ten when 1t ia atrong. Nov
that the oxcitemcnt OF the temperance crusade
has practically subsidod, and that 1t has not
borne all tho fluit which waa expected OF 1t. It
viii be wol not to drop the matter Of reform
entirely, but to utilize our enorgica in aome
other direction, anna See II wo cannot help the
causs Of temperance by other agencies. II will
DO well, instead Of seeking to establish an ab
struot right by ooorcive measures, to see ii
NC cannot accomplish tie greatest practical good
by measures Which will not be offensive to public
soutimont. In tlia connection, Mrs. Zina Fay
Pierce, lady in Cambridge, Mass., has sug-
gested some yory yhluablo iaoas, III lettor writ
St. Mbans. IT., which hayo met with consldera-
ble favor In that section of Now England. Mrs.
Pierce dop1oraa tho spirit OF fanattcIsm which
persstensly retusos to regard human nature as
1t ls and to doal with It accordingly. Following
Out this fact to tts logical conclusion, sho boldly
warns American wou,eu ct their OK

A bill for the Bcourtty Of life on ycsso!s pro-

TEMPERANCE AT THE POLLS.

At frat glance the returns of the municipal
elections of last Monday in Ohio do not seem
encouraging to friends of the Temperance
movement. We look in vain for evidence of
that wonderful change of public sentiment
which was to regenerate the great West II not
the whole country, and finally sweep all the
dram-shops FRONT the face of the earth. Not
only the large cities like Cincinnati, Cleveland,
and Columbus are reported as declaring against
Temperance, but town after town IN the rural
districts registered the same verdict at the
polls. There were not few trlumphs for
the Crusaders, but the drift of the tide was in
the opposite direction. A friend Of the Tenn
perance movement writing to Cincinnati
paper from the home of Mother Stewart, Dio
Lewis's most efficient female coadjutor says
that to tell the plain truth Springfield after full
deliberation, knowingly rejects the PROPOSE
" ton to suppress saloons; clear majority
az want no law deciding what shall be drunk"
In that city the Common Council is evenly
divided on the Temperance question. More
disappointing to the crusaders and surprising
to everybody, is the success of the anthem
perance ticket in Washington c. H., where
the women's movement was inaugurated
and achieved, perhaps, its greatest victories,
and in Hillsboro, whence, as from Washington
C.. H., missionaries have gone into the sur
rounding country to show how the liquor
traffic may be extirpated by the wOmen's
method. The dispatches say that Franklin,
80 conspicuous in the early history of the
crusade, gave a majority for the opposition,
and that Waynesville, Sidney, Pomeroy, and
other places equally celebrated in connection
with the womens movement, also voted
anti Temperance
But full knowledge of the facts in the
case throws a flood of light on these appa-
rently disheartening returns. If anything is
demonstrated by the Ohio elections it is that
the Temperance sentiment awakened by tho
women's movement is not Prohibition sent-
meut. The spirit of that movement,

An OLD FLAME.

When cremation becomes, as there seems a
likelihood it may, the fashion with the creme
dela-creme of our population, let not the elect
fancy that they are practicing I" the last
thing out" Not to mention the funeral OF
Shelley, whose body was burned little more
than fifty years ago, on funeral pyre OIL the
shore of the magnificent bay of Spezzia-a
measure of pure necessity, if the remains were
to be preserved at all, seeing their condition
when found and not, as it was .sneeringly
called, "a piece of sentimental paganismn-
we can point to a more modern instance.
1t occurred some time in the Winter of 20.
II, in Florence. An Indian prince, with his
wives and suite had been living for some time
at one of the hotels in that city, and one day,
as even princes will, he sickened and died.
What to do with his body was a problem. 1t
could MT be buried, and it couldn't be carried
to India; while TO burn it was supposed inn
possible in Christian city. True, men
had been burned in Florence, but then they
were alive, which makes vast difference, and
it was felt that Savanarola and his monks
wero hardly precedent. However. as tho

IA manifested in its most SUCCESSFUL
form, is the law of moral influence. IL
appears not in the use Of prayer as bat
tering-ram to break down the doors of dram
shop, but in the gentle though importunate
appeal of wronged women to the conscience
and heart of the man at whose hands she has
suffered. There is little trace OF 1t In the pre-
concerted dramatic accessories OF procession
of singing women on the street; nor IN dog
gng the steps Of thirsty topers; nor yet III
wearing out the patience of saloon-keeper oy
an eternal guard mounting at his door lhese
things may divert the rabble and AFFORD materlal
for the pens of emotional correspondents
but, however excusable they may be Wnen the
Crusade fever IS at its hight, they are erect
i've only in exceptional cases. Stiil more
foreign, then, to the true spirit of the women'S
movement is an appeal to the Law. When
the women turn from prayer TO Goa ana
pleading with the salOOn-keepers to myoKe
the power of the State, they abandon tnelr
strongest position and find arrayed against
them, not only the liquor dealer and the liquor
drinker, but that great body of respectable
and religions people who value federation
above Total Abstinence, and who would Dear
even the Ills of IntemDerancelrather than gave
their assent to a principle of legislation which,
if carried TO its logical consequences, would
cover the statute books with laws which they
believe to be infriDgements upon Individual
rights.
The question in the Ohio towns was viz
tually this: Shall we have Prohibitions 1t
arose in the form Of License or No License.
The Prehibtionists sagaciously attempted to
turn the feeling in favor OF Temperance into
votes in favor of Compulsory Total Absti-
nence. The women injudiciOusly lent them
selves to the scheme, and the result is an
apparent rebuke to them, while it lis in reality
a simple but emphatic negative to the ques-
ton which the Prohibitionists insisted upon
propounding to the people of Ohio. Many, 1t
is reported, did not vote at all, because they
feared a vote for license would be misunder-
stood and that vote against license would
be regarded as an Endorsement of the extreme
views of the ProhibitiOnists. In either case
the cause of Temperance would suifer;-thus
the women lost for the time much OF the
moral support which they have hitherto en-
loved The voice of the towns voting Tor
License was not for Intemperance, but against
what they regarded as Intolerance. The les
son for the good women engaged in the lem
perance movement is that, il they would have
success, they must avoid political alliances.

the journal has its position been so strong
and so secure. No other four-cent paper cir
culates through the mails so large weekly,
sem-weekly, and daily editions. None, except
The Herald, has so large or so valuable city
circulation. We have felt less than any other
paper the effects of the financial crash of last
year and the consequent prostitution of busl-
ness. Our advertising is of the best and most
lucrative character and, like orr circulation,
grows steadily better.
Some of our rivals, which have the question
able taste to make daily display OF the dis-
comfort they experience at being left behind IN
news, in circulation, in public esteem, ana III
every form of prosperity, are fond OF asserting
as if it were deadly and startling secret, that
THE TRIBUNE is paying no dividends upon It's
stock. This is certainly true. THE TRIBUNE
does not propose to pay one cent in dividends
until the massive structure now rising III
Printing HOuse-square is finished ana palu
for. This will cost, including the additional
real estate we have acquired to enlarge ana
rectify our frontiers, over Three-quarters OF a
million of dollars At the outset we had a
cash balance of over 100000 accumulated for
the work. The rest has been or Is to DC
paid for out of the profits of the paper. IhoSe
who wish to invest in its stock VIII, therefore,
do well to provide other means OF subsistence
for few years. In that case, II they I'VE
long enough they will reap rich reward 1or
their investment beside the consciousness that 10
the meanwhile they are assisting III
the diffusion of all the news, sound
principles, excellent literature, and ac-
curate scientific information. we can
not promise them any share in the conduct OF
the paper, as large majority of the stock Is
in the hands of the present management,
where we propose to have it remain. we
hear occasionally of rings and combinations III
Washington and elsewhere for the acquisition
of this paper. We regard these plans az highly
complimentary to the value and the power OIL
The TRIBUNE, and evincing far more taste
than comprehension of possibilities. The best
thing those statesmen can do who recognize
The TRIBUNE's value and desire to make use
of it, is to pay four cents every morning Tor
COPY of it, and regulate their lives according
to its precepts. This much is within then
reach-nO more.
