One at q Time.

The New York chamber of commerce
celebrated its 112th anniversary yester-
day with a banquet, at which many dis
tinguished people were present, includ-
ing Secretary Sherman, who made
speech of congratulation upon the renew
ed prosperity of the country, which the
secretary and his friends think should be
made the occasion for asking the people
to elect its financial minister to the pres
idency. The most notable speech, how
ever, was made by one of the aldermen
of the city, Charles H. Marshall, in de-
nunciation of the way in which the local
politicians of all the parties unite to-
gether for their selfish advantage while
keeping up an outside show of great an
tagonism upon national questions, of
more or less consequence, but in which
there is no money for them. If Mr.. Mar
shall's facts are right his denunciation is
very just. In the old Tweed days there is
well-known to have been a combination
between that Democratic leader and the
local Republican chiefs, by which the fat
Offices of the city were drained for the
mutual benefit of the ring. But when
this set of thieves were exposed and
driven out, it was supposed that the ex-
ample of their fall had sufficed to secure
the city a reasonably honest government.
The expectation is hardly justified by
the condition of the city government,
which has been so amended" by the
Legislature as to leave every opportunity
for dishonest manipulation. The city is
governed by commissions, the mayor
having little real authority. RESPONSE
bility is, therefore, divided; and the
nOn-partisan character which the law
aims to give these commissions simply
results in division of the spoils between
men of different parties instead of
confering the profit and responsible
ity upon those of one. This
must be considered an elegant
device to secure peaceful repast to the
thievish rats, of different colors, who Sc
cure entrance to the granary.
The hungry fellows on both sides being
satisfied, city affairs proceed with a har-
mOny which ought to be a very agreea.
ble contemplation to the taxpayers in
view of it's costliness. Perhaps Mr.. Mar
shall is right in preferring to save the
money and do without the charming
spectacle. He thinks that the best way
is to demand a party government and to
undertake to feed only one set of poll
ticians at time. He would have their
meals disturbed by the growing of the
fellows On the outside, and thinks they
would steal less if they were kept all the
time on the lookout to defend their
positions than they would when Joined

of peace and alliance.

We could we'll have afforded to spare it
The people have reason to distrust such
behavior. 1t is safer to witness the
snarls than the smiles of opposing poll
ticians.

TO-DAY'S TRIPLE HANGING.
The Three Remaining Raber Murderers
Suffer the Death Penaltv

To-day Wise, Hummel and Brandt, the
remaining conspirators implicated in the
Raber murder, will be hanged at Lebanon,
between the hours of 10 a. m. and D. m.
Since Sunday evening Wise, who has made
several confessions admitting his connec-
tion with several conspiracies to murder
Raber, has partaken of no food, in imita-
tion, he says, of his Saviour. When not
sleeping, he has devoted nearly all his time
to praying, singing, and other religious
exercises. He can be heard in all parts of
the prison. In the last statement, he
maintains that Brandt, Hummel, Zechmau
and himself had conspired to kill Rabe,:
and that Brandt and Hummel had given
him to understand that this was not the
only insurance money they had in contem-
plation. He says Hummel told him that
he and another man had also in view the
murder of an old Dutchman, possessed of
considerable means, for the purpose of
robbery. Brandt and Hummel are cheer
full, and both deny the truth of Wise's con-
feSSiOnS

| of interest and excitement, is giving place
to scientific investigation, political discus
sion, and the various forms of material
advancement. The depressing influence
of this condition of affairs upon the pulpit
is to be viewed with alarm. When the
minister goes before his people, burdened
with the consciousness that they will
incline with Indifference to what he says,
if indeed they listen at all, he is terribly
weakened. Ministers are not angels and
cannot withstand the pressure that is
bearing upon them with giant force
against the purpose they are striving to
attain. The whole condition of things
throughout the world is spiritually un-
healthy, and to restore it to its proper and
normal state there must be aroused among
the people hungering for the bread of
life. The preacher must labor to
keep up the intellectual and
moral dignity of the pulpit by
conscientious and prayerful study of
the great truths of religion. The Word of
God is the sheet-anchor amid the storm
Of inidelity that is sweeping over the
world. Let the minister hold fast sturdiy
to the promise of God, waiting in faith for
the coming of the time when truth, like
the day star. shall CLEAN with undimmed
brightness.
The preaching of Christ and Him cruci-
fed is the greatest of all the duties en-
trusted to His ambassadors on EARTH
They should cause the doctrine of the sal
vation of world through the blood Of
Christ to be proclaimed in season and out
of season. It is not sufficient to preach
that there is one God; the Koran teaches
that, a. well as the Bible. Keep the cross

The Views Of Two Fusion Organs
In Regard to Temperance
Measures-A Striking DIFF
ference Of Opinion.
LOOK At THIS.
From the Maine Standal

The TEMPERANCE CAUSE LASGCIsHING FOR
The leading temperance men of this State
have allowed themselves TO be used as
cat's-paw so long by the managers of the
republican ring. and have subordinated their
principles to the interests of politicians 10
such an extent that they have largely lost
the confidence and respect of honest people
When they propose any movement now for
the ostensibIe purpose of advancing temper
ance principles, such as holding conventions
or meetings for organization or lectures. a
feeling at once arises in the minds of most
people that they are insincere in their avow-
als-that it will be in fact but an effort in
some way TO strengthen the hold which the
ring politicians have upon temperance or
CARNATIONS and thereby perpetuate their
power. The fact that these ring politicians
sell out the prohibitionists to the rumsellers
in every election. in return for the votes and
influence of the rumselling interest. has be
come so notorious that plain people cannot
rid themselves of the idea that such men as
Dow, Nye, Chase, Penney and Randall are
fully aware of il and knowingly consent TO
become the co-laborers of rumsellers in
rowing on opposition sides, the Blaine bat
teau-that they knowingly submit TO seeing
tflt laws lOI suppression VI 'if"NA
traffic made non-effective in that direction,
and the judiciary system of the State cor
.upted by converting them into an engine
for coercing rumsellers to support the repub-
lcan party in consideration of exemption
from the penalties of violated laws.
The gentlemen named and other leaders
like them may imagine that the people do
not understand the true inwardness of this
method BY which temperance and rum are
made cooperative adjuncts of the republican
party, but if they are greatly mistaken
1t is understood and every day weakens pop
ular confidence in them as temperance lead
ers and the cause itself is made to suffer in
consequence, just as reproach is brought
upon the cause of religion when its pro-
tossed teachers prove to be unworthy of con-
fidence. We assure these men that the cause
of temperance is languishing and suffering
greatly to-day in consequence of their aHilia-
ton and cooperation with the corrupt men,
who entrusted with the enforcement of laws.
for the suppression of crime, make merchan-
die of them for political purposes, and au-
thorize the commission Of crime in exchange
forvotes. If they have the cause of tenn
perance at heart and desire to promote its in
tegests instead of being a hindrance to its
progress, they must cut loose from and cease
to be led by such associations.

The views of two of the fusion organ

The views of two of the fusion organs
of this State in relation to temperance
measures and men. as presented this morn
ing in our columns through editorials
copied from each of said organs, are as
striking for their difference of opinion as
the antagonistic views of the same two pa
pers upon the currency The sanctimonious
Maine Standard. whose great regard tor
everything pious and moral is abundantly
shown by its course toward the clergy. is
deeply grieved because the temperance
leaders are not more active in the work OF
suppressing intemperance and calls upon
them to press forward in more energetic
manner; while the Belfast paper is just
as deeply grieved as the other. not how
ever because the temperance law is not
enforced. but because it is enforced. with
so much stringency that the editor not
only denounces the manner Of enforce
ment but demands the overthrow of the
law itself on the ground that it is unrea-
sonable and oppressive and ought not
to be endured. 1t does not seem possible
that both these organs can be right upon
this subject. There must be mistake
somewhere.

was standing by Mr.. Dana. with whom she was
acquainted, when the flames had spread so
far that il was no longer possible to remain
on the vessel, and in her extreme peril asked
him ifhe could swim. ''Oh. yes very well. -

II is the chief misfortune of Hancock,
SAYS the New York Mail. THAT his antag-
onist is the man who was the ablest spec
linen, and one of the noblest, of the citi-
zen soldiers who conquered the rebellion,
rather in spite of West Point than by its
help. These 100000 men will swarm
to the leadership Of Garfield by irresisti-
be instincts They will be proud of him
and support him, not only because OF
his brilliant war record, but be-
cause seventeen years of service
in Congress have revealed him
as, on the whole, the greatest, broadest,
most generous, highest minded statesman,
in either branch of Congress, and the
Heaven ordained leader of the republican
party for a new period of broadening
power and increasing usefulness. The
more the man is known the greater will
be the enthusiasm in his support. He
will appeal to more classes of men than
any other presidential candidate who ever
ran. The old volunteer soldiers of the
Union, the army of teachers, the colleges
and universities, the business men who
want President known to be both able
and sound on all the financial issues, the
young men who admire his wonderful
self-development-all will help swell the
throngs who will carry for him every
Northern and Western State. probably
West Virginia and possibly Florida and
Louisiana. Providence trained him for
the Presidency and brought about his NOM
nation Providence never does things by
halves or imperfectly."
