Revising Their Opinions,

A Northern clergyman, stationed at
Raleigh, North Carolina, and engaged
earnestly in the movement for prohibition
in that state, predicted its defeat before
the event, in letter to the Boston Adcer-
tiser, a leading Republican paper. Upon
this letter the journal comments as fol-
lows: .
Tho writer echoes the charge of Southern
Democrats, that the representatives OF the
government in the South are morally bad.
He asserts, what we have otherwise
learned from perfectly trustworthy au-
thority from the same state of North Caro-
lima, that the colored people are intemper-
ate and becoming more SO. the emphatic
declaration of the good intentions of the
white people of the state, of their
acceptance of the results of the war, and
Of their hearty cooperation in measures
for the rescue of the colored race from
the evil habit Of drunkenness, is the more
remarkable when the authorship of it ia
considered. The author is no weak
Northern "doughface :" wheedled by I'M
expected hostility, but a Northern Republi
can Methodist preacher, who went South
expecting to contend against "rebel'' op-
ponents. and who is surprised TO find he is
supported by his presumed foes, and op-
posed by those in whom he hoped to find
active and energetic friends Such testi-
mony as this is valuable, and it suggests
the propriety Of a fresh consideration of
the question if the Republican party has
yet found its proper allies in the South.
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1881-08-18

OUR Democratic contemporaries con-
tinue to 6iscuss, in excellent temper and
from different standpoints, the reorgani-
zation Of the party in this state and the
kind of rules it ought to adopt to secure
better government and more efficient Or
ganizatiOn. The Pittsburgh Post and
Harrisburg Patriot make contributions
to the subject, Of which we publish the
salient parts, and without committing
ourselves to the support of their views
we find much therein to commend, and
all that they say can proftably be con
sidered by the whole party and digested
by its committee on rules and the state
committee and Williamsport convention.
The Pa'riot makes excellent and forci-
bic suggestions concerning the necessity
for more permanent organization, for
better work upon voters in times when
they are not carried away by political ex-
citement and against the silly, expensive
and demoralizing system of Chinese
gong campaigns, which always serve to
strengthen and intensity the opposition
in this state and to waste our little cam-
paign fund. The Post argues for larger
state convention, its membership to
be chosen on a different plan of represen-
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1881-08-18

tation, for and against which much may
be said, and somaunodification of which
may be found practicable. Upon a
different plan of selecting the central
state organization, and upon a per-
manent salaried secretary, We believe the
entire party in the state is agreed.
Whether Col. Barr's plan of a committee
of five is better than conference COM
mittee, made up of the county chairmen,
and an executive committee represent
ing say, nine sub-districts, remains to lie
considered. 1t is well, however, to have
all the plans brought out and freely dis.
cussed.

REORGANIZATION.
RULES FOR THE STATE DEMOCRAt
Tho Necessity for An Emeient Organization
Harrisburg Patriot.

Tho Necessity for An Enleient Organization.
Harrisburg Patriot.
This movement is not only entirely
proper, but one that should have been
made long ago. The state organization Of
the party is without any code for its gov
ernment aud when in active operation IS
guided simply by usage which sometimes
gives place to the interest of faction or
the whim of an excited majority.
A permanent working state organization
Of the party should be maintained. 1t
is the sublimity of folly to attempt
to organize half million of voters
in three months canvass. 1t is
utterly ridiculous to think Of adding
proselytes to the ranks of the party by
distributing documents and holding mass
meetings in tie heat of a campaign. 1t is
a continuous, never ending labor to build
up party. Not only must the central
organization be constantly familiar with
every detail of party work throughout the
state, but it must be ready at any and
every moment to take advantage of any
weakness of the enemy Of which it may be
advised. In the winter months when the
average voter has moro leisure to read and
on account of the absence of political ex-
citement is more inclined to think for him
self than at any other time of the year, the
state committee should make its principal
effort at proselyting through the circula'
tion of sound and Instructive political lit.
erature. Indeed this kind of work should
he kept up the whole year round. But in
order to accomplish such task the
chairman of the state committee
and his clerks must he constantly
employed. The party headquarters
must be kept open and busy year
in and year out without any intermission.
The machine" as the vulgar independ
cnts would say, must run with per.
petual motion. 1t may be objected that
the idea is visionary and impracticable be.
cause it involves the expenditure of toe
much money: The objection is not we'll
founded. The money misspent in the
ordinary Chinese gong campaigns t.
which We arc accustomed will suf
fee to carry on all practical and SEN
sible operations of state organization in
permanent activity. Besides one year
trial of the plan would SO commend it to
the party that there would be no difficulty
afterward in raising the necessary shows
of war. The chairman Of the state com
mittee and his clerks should, however
be paid annual salaries sufficient to
enable them to devote their whole
time and attention to the party
work. They should be men wht
arc separated entirely from the interests
of faction and who have no ambition:
aims of their own. Indeed the work o
the state committee should be performed
AS Systematically as that of a government
bureau an d the functionaries selected t.
perform it should hold their places during
good behavior subject to removal only b..
the full committee.

capped. A scene of terrible confusion en-
sued-the passengers being madly panic

men were seen to seize them even from
women. For about half an hour there
was a scene of dire confusion. In the
upper deck cabin struggling mass was
wedged, doors being blocked up and to
facilitate escape the windows were broken
out and the passengers passed through
head fist. As soon rs the panic subsided
the band struck up and helped to rcassure
the passengers. The tug Germania took
the Plymouth Rock in tow Other boats
came up and towed the disabled steam
boat to smooth water where the passen-
gers were transferred and brought to this
