The LOMa Victory.

TO The Editor OF The Ecen,nq Critic:
'some things are worthless, and somo others
so good,
That nations who buy them pay only In blood"
So sang tho poet of the anti.slavery victory.
Not 80 the bloodless victory achieved by tho
temperance people In Iowa last week. No
clash OF arms or rattle OF artillery was hoard.
No wounded or dying lay on this battlefield.
Loyal hearts beat responsive, not to fife and
drum, but with the consciousness that the
cause was Just, and that 1t was laying hold OF
the Eternal. All day long they tramped,
tramped to the polls aud deposited votes, not
bullets, and rolled upa handsome majority
for prohibition. The heroic women who
scraped lint In tho late war for the wounded
soldier, and did 80 much In bringing about tho
grand result, stood by their husbands, sons
and brothers helping to free their State from
their greatest enemy. 1t could not be other
wise than that victory would perch upon their
banners. What sublime spectaclel People
all over the land bowling in supplicating prayer
to God for protection to loved ones.
RiZpeh-like women stood sentinel beside not
dead but living sons, saving them from the
vultures ready to take their life's blood.
Surely there will be rejoicing In Heaven
over those who will be saved by this prohibi-
tory vote. Soon the tempting sinks OF iniquity
Will be removed, and the tempted no longer
will bo led away.
law, but another 20 enforce It," Backed by
such a noble constituency, whose motto Is,
''God, home and native land" they should be
able TO enforce tho law.
The history OF this great temperance movo.
ment thus far has taught two or three useful
lessons:
First-That public sentiment must bo made
and enlightened
second-To be effective, tho strong arm Of
law must back II up.
ThIrd-we need the aid OF good Republicans
and good Democrats In securing prohibition.
with such a precedent as Iowa has set tho
way seems clear for Indiana and other States
TO marshal their hosts and lead on to certain
victory. II Indiana is trammeled by side
Issues, better let them go and secure the great
end for which they are laboring.
May the day not be far distant when all the
States will fall into line for prohibitory amend
ment, and the glad pnns OF freedom from the
drink curse be proclaimed throughout the
land. Mrs. j. s. @.

Discord In n Catholic Church.

The people OF the village OF fTuckahoe, N. y.
have been much excited OF late In regard to a
dissension In tho Catholic Church OF that
place. 1t seems that some patriotic Irishmen
desired TO celebrate the Fourth OF July by
picnic. Father Keogh, paste, OF the church,
who is sick, was well enough TO cast his vote
against picnics. But Father Toner, who Is
acting priest during Father KeOgh's illness,
had nothing against them, and Is inclined to
permit his parishoners TO "picniG" all they
want TO. The difference In the ruling OF these
two priests caused discord In the parish As
the parish Is small, the schlsm VIII probably
soon bo nipped in tho bud, and the little VII.
lage OF Tuckahoe Will resume Its customary
alliet.
The Evening critic., 1882-07-05

WE LEARN with amazement that the
Senate Committee on Commerce, having
under consideration the River and Harbor
bill, has decided to omit any provision for
the Harbor of Washington. The Hennepin
Canal tho Mississippi River Commission
and other Jobs receive munifcent grants;
but the Iarbor of Washington and the pes
tilential Potomac fats are left to fill up aud
breed miasma for another year. We sim
cerely hope that this is an oversight and not
deliberate neglect on the part of the Com.
mittec. In any case we think it the duty Of
the District Committee to offer an amend
ment to the bill when it reaches the Sem
ate, providing for at least u beginning of
this most necessary work. Three or four
years have now been spent in surveys by
engineers and Investigation" by select
committee, but there is neither work done
nor practical sign Of an intention to begin
work.
Meanwhile the Government not only
does nothing itself, but stands firmly in the
way of private enterprise. An offer has
been made by responsible parties to fill up
and reclaim the flats, provided the Govern
ment would convey the land to the persons
interested for commercial purposes. But
this offer is not entertained. The Govern
ment is therefore acting the dog in the
mangcr; pretending to want the land for
the uses of public grounds, and yet doing
nothing to abate the dangerous nuisance OF
the flats in their present condition. OF
course the people of the District, officials as
well as citizens, are as helpless as the peo-
pie of Poland under the heel of tho Car.
The only remedy they have is that Of COM
planning through the columns of their local
press; but there is so much of that to bo
done that it becomes an added grievance
rather than q consolation.
We had hoped, when Congress finally
decided to improve the Executive Mansion
by building an addition to it and renovatina
its drainage, that the programme would
carry with it the most important sanitary
provision of all-the improvement of the
hats-without which, in fact, these Other
alterations are useless. But it seems thai
we were mistaken.
The flats are to be left to foster indof-
nitely.

as great a state of exasperasion as
she ever shows. "
Epeaking OF the mail fservics, Mr..
Cox said: ''I wrote a good many
Newspaper letters and all of them
came through safely but that one in
which I describe my presentation to
the Sultan. It was the most inter-
estina that l wrote. That never
came to hand, and I never could
write it again. Lew Wallace. our
minister, obtained the presentation
for me, while my wife was allowed,
without my company, however, to go
10 the seraglio. and to see the
female life of the Sultan's house
hold"
"How did you find the consular
service of the United States, Mr..
Cox2"
81 was very agreeabIy surprised at
its excellence. Our consuls all
along that coast, as far as 1 observed,
were observing, shrswd, good fellows,
many of them badly nnderpaid. Gen.
Lew Wallace is a 10 an OF literary
and worldly talents, and makes a
very good minister. l could find
nothing of our consulstts IN st.
Petersburg. One of the best fellows
[ found was at Christians, Norway.
He was getting only 5000 year out
of his fees. Since l came back l
have bad him raised to $1,000 a
year. We finished the foreign serv-
ice bill last Saturday. l am on the

"What do you think Of Russia, Mr..
Cox ?"
swell, Russia is in d very bad
condition, arising from q want OF an
industrial and self-supporting 30
ciety. The government has picked
out persons in every province in
Russia. and educated them thor
ougbly, given them fine technical
educations, for its war purposes, in
the engineering schools, in the
Languages, so as to make them &C.
complishe6 tools of the Gear. Now
these men have no occupation in
Russia after they are educated.
There is literally nothing to do where
they reside. They have no business
experience. Consequently they be-
come nihilists. Nihilism in Russia
is the effsrvescence OF the intellect
demanding more and better ins.itu
tions than naked despotism, demand
ing q career, congenisl occupation,
freedom of speech and of action; in
short, it is education detessing abso-
lutism and idleness. The common
people of Russia are devoted to the
Gar. They call him their father.
The cabman that drove us around,
the laborers, all the bottom stratum
Of society, are loyal to the soul, and
will kill man if he Gays anything
against their holy and dead master,
the Car. But these educated, I'M
Ainching nihilists mean to transform
that society to the likeness of Europe
and America, or to perish with il"
"Mr. Cox, do any of them in
Europe live as we'll as We do in the
United States ?"
'NO; there is no country like this
anywhere, yet The wholly CONNER
cial character Of our life sometimes
fatieues the brain. Gath.
