Pensacola AdvanceGazette, August O.
We notice that the Democracy in other pOr-
tons of the State is moving in the matter of nom
nations for the Legislature. Since the Congres.
sional nominations have been made, il seems "a
US that the sooner the legislative nominations
are made the better for the interests of the party
1t is natural to suppose that the Congressional
and Legislative nominees will work in the ut
most harmony; and that the Congressional and
County Executive Committees will pull together
with common energy and purpose. In the man
agement of the campaign in this State there
should be no friction; and the very best and sur
est method of making effective and successful
canvass should be determined upon after thor
ough consultation, and then everything should
be directed potentially towards sweeping tri-
umph. To this end. the sooner the respective
counties make ready by getting their tickets in
the field, their Executive Committees organized,
and their plans of battle laid the better il will be
for the interests of the party and the assured
the success which we will attain.

THE TEMPERANCE ISSUE IN
OHIO.


Dayton Journal: The association Of
Ohio brewers held convention in Gin
cinnau last week, at which they resolved
upon an organized aggressive warfare
against temperance and temperance leg
islation, and especially against the Re
publican party. This gauge Of battle is
defiantly ACCEPTED. We shall see wheth-
er morality or immortality will prevail
in this country. The people will not
accept the doctrine that free whisky and
no Sunday have rights that morality is
bound to respect Public sentiment has
heretofore been amiably disposed to toll
crate the grossest and most demoralizing
evil that affiicts humanity, but if that
giant evil, to whom a long suffering
people have been disposed to be
charitable, arrogantly defies and dares
public morality TO mortal combat, 1t
must prepare itself TO take the conse-
quences. The struggle may last three
years, or it may last ten, but the inevita-
BILE result will be the establishment of a
temperance law and order domination
that will not endure trihing. The time
has passed for whisky and beer to die
tate whom and who shall not be nomin.
ated for Office by the Republican party.
The issue will be hereafter on the other
side. 4 candidate will have 10 possess
some qualifications additional TO his
ability to get the liquor vote. There are
many In the Republican party who
would prefer not TO resort TO extremi-
ties, but If they are forced TO face the
issue OF decency or indecency, the Dem
ocracy and their whisky allies will not
ind 1t difficult to discover the entrenched
camp of their adversaries.

Among reforms which should be in
stituted by newspapers is the exclusion
from their columns of the details of or
binary divorce cases. They are vicious
exposures of the miseries Of mankind
without single advantage to be derived
from them. Take, for instance, the
Christiancy divorce scandal. It would
puzzle human ingenuity to discover in
its nasty details single element of NOR.
al benefit TO society. The publication
of the wretched details in any case stim-
ulates pruriency. 1t increases the ag'
gregate of human unhappiness. It makes
impossible the reunion of families that
might be restored to society, and de.
grades the moral tone of community in
every possible aspect. We all know
that in three cases out of four intemper-
ance is the superinducing cause. The ex-
posture of the details in all other cases
administers to vicious Imagination, and
increases the aggregate sum of vices
that degrade and add to the wretched-
ness of society.

The forty-seventh congress has left a
good many things undOne which should
have received its attention, but 1t has
also accomplished good deal of work,
and has laid the country under heavy
debt of gratitude by adjourning before
the advent of dog days. The questions
which have been considered by the ma
tional legislature, such as the tariff
issue, the problem of re-apportionment,
the national bank question, the reduc-
ton of taxes and other important meas
ures, have given rise to profitable dis
cussion which has had tendency to ed
ucate the people on these important
issues, and much of the legislation left
uncompleted is in good shape for final
action at the next session. With the
exception of the passage Of the harbor
and river appropriation bill, the session
Of congress which has just closed has
comparatively little to be ashamed of,
and its record Is far above that Of many
preceding sessions.

The Ohio brewers in state conYention
assembled at Cincinnati the other day,
adopted resolutions citing the fact that
the brewing interest in the state amounts
to S12,O00,O00 a year; that the use of
beer as o beverage is not only whole
some, but healthful, and has decreased
the use Of alcoholic liquors; that pro-
hibition has made great inroads in the
past two years, being migrated in the
constitution OF two great western states,
and that the industry Of the brewers is
endangered by unjust legislation. They,
therefore, while not debating to the
members what political organization
they shall favor, pledge themselves to
oppose any candidate who favors laws
subyersive Of their business and abridg-
ing their rights.

New York Herald. The bicycle-ma-
kers have turned up before the Tariff
Commission at Long Branch, interced-
ing for protection against the pauper-
made bicycles of England. They could
get along very well if the duty on steel
were removed; but, as that would in.
terfere with somebody else's job, nothing
remains but TO put the tariff on foreign
bicycles so high that practically they
will be excluded from our markets. 1t
is curious that this ''infant industry" has
been allowed to go all this time without
the slightest protection. British bicycles
have been running ali over our streets
and highways, frightening horses, and
soaring the wrangling old ladies of the
Park Commission half to death. A we'll

is unnecessary to say, be guilty of such
horrible misconduct. 1t is therefore Eot
