The Prohibi,ion councils Action,
the Editor OF the INDIANAPOLIS Ionrna,.

To the Editor OF the indianapolis Journal:
1 desire to express my approval Of both
the spirit and general scope of the views of
the Journal of this morning on the subject
Of Politics and Campaigns" The matter of
political separate action by the temperance
and prohibition advocates of the State was
fully discussed by the delegates to the State
Council, which met yesterday, and it was
fully agreed, as the unpublished proceedings
show, that separate action was unwise, and
that it would not be attempted except in
localities in the State where nc candidate of
a party could be found who was
willing TO vote in the Legislature for
constitutional prohibition. Furthermore,
the Council resolved to carry out this policy
strictly on the lines suggested by experience,
and declared its policy TO vote for no candi-
date for the Legislature, Governor, Lieuten-
ant-governor, or Judge of the Supreme
Court" who was not in favor of constitu-
tional prohibition. Experience has shown
that men occupying these places have
served the liquor traffic interest during their
incunbency, and therefore the sensitive
ness of the temperance people in respect to
such positions. Toward no other classes of
candidates is it proposed to take action on
this subject. 1t was wisely deemed to en-
lumber the movement with no useless an
%tagonisms, but only to act firmly along the
line of the practical. individuals will, of
course, as now, do as they prefer respecting
all other classes of candidates for Office. The
fact was recognized that political parties
grow, and are not made, but that political par
ties nave the elements of evolution in them,
and do develop into broader purposes
and higher aims for the public good. Such
ends are reached when somebody or some
classes of people demand them, and not be-
fore, and a rule of action, as q law, possess
ing no penalty, has none of the formative
element in it. Hence the twill not" as to
the class of officers standing in the practical
line. In the election of 1882 there were
fifty-nine counties in Indiana where it was
not hard to find candidates filling the stand
ard of qualification here set up, for in the
House there were that number of members
to vote to "agree" to a constitutional pro-
vision to prohibit the traffic in liquor. That
was a very encouraging experience, and no
apprehension is felt for the future in this re-
gard. Revolutions do not go backward.

Mr.. Lincoln at Cooper Institute.

b1lh g NeW Iork special.
At the junction of Aston Place and Lafay-
cite Place with the Bowery was an isolated
block, on which Cooper erected the insti-
tute bearing his name, and it literally seems
to block up the Bowery as one comes up
town, making a landmark, not the most
beautiful IN architecture, but n revered place
both i'll philanthropy and history. Under
that institution is a large hall, where Abra-
ham Lincoln made the great speech which
called the attention OF the East to him as a
presidential quantity the year before he he
came President. After Lincoln had been
beaten by Douglas for senator he was brought
out for President at the town of Decatur,
where the Illinois State Republican convcn-
ton was held in May, 1859. Governor
Oglesby then announced that an old Demo-
crat desired to make n contribution to the
convention. Two fence-rails were then
brought in, decorated and inscribed: "Abra-
ham Lincoln, the rail candidate for the
Presidency in $780," The two rails were
from a lot of 5000 made in 1880 by Thomas
Hanks and Abe Lincoln. For about fifteen
minutes there was tremendous cheering and
excitement. Lincoln took the platform and
gave his "reminiscences of making rails. He
then visited Kansas, Ohio, and finally New
York. He arrived in this city February 25,
1860, on an invitation to speak at Beecher's
church, in Brooklyn. He spent q whole dav
at the Astor House on Saturday, reviewing
this elaborate address; and, having gone to
hear Beecher on Sunday, he spoke at the
Cooper Institute on Monday night. The
platform was crowded with the Republican
leaders of the city. Peter Cooper among
them. William G.. Bryant presided, and the
solid aud elaborate character of the address
satisfied the Republicans here that if Seward
did not get the nomination, and Lincoln did.
there would not be such a great difference in
the men.

A Ghilosophic Mexican.

I heard of o Mexican living near
Socorro, n. NJ. whose THRIFT has amassed
him q fortune, all In bullion, which he
is said to keep under the floor of his
house. He demands invariably thirty
days time in which to pay for purchases,
however small, and, promptly on the
day that payment becomes due, he turns
up with bullion to the amount of the
bill exactly weighed out. But even
what he has did not come from trade,
but from a silver mine that he has
worked for years with only occasional
help. His adobe hut is little better than
the common rtn of mud novels that are
called houses bereabouts. His family
has been raised on the staple diet of
beans and jerked beef, with two or three
mixtures of corn, and he expects to go
to the grave with as little comfort as
surrounds him now. Some M asked
him not long since why he did not take
his family travelling and avail himself as
well as them of the mean at his COM
mand to see something of the world.
'"I am happy where 1 am" he replied.
eff I see more I shall want more, and
my savings might slip away, while by
staying here and knowing Of nothing
beyond I shall be sure of taking care Of
myself. When what [ have falls 10 my
children they msy Judge for themselves
how to take care of it. My way is to
keep it at home. Santa Fe Nv. MI

Nearly ten years ago, I was the picture OF
health, weighing more than 2Oo POUNDS,

nave above described, they caused me an
,,oyance, not only by reason Of their az

a living misery. 1 continued In this com
dition for nearly a year; never free from
pain, for a moment happy. Such an
existence is far worse than death, for which
1 confess I earnestly longed.
1t was while suffering thus that q friend
advised me to make a final attempt to re-
cover my health. l sneered inwardly at
his suggestion, but / was too week to make
any resistance. He furnished me with a

felt that / would not die at nat time. I
continued the use of the remedy, taking it
in accordance with directions, until l be-
came not only restored to my former

A Scene of Human Degradation.

Mrs. Scott-Stevenson, in her "On
Summer Seas gives the following &C.
count of a Russian pilgrimage to the
shrine of St. Nicholas, at Bari, in Italy:
'.They were all dressed in a kind OF
uniform, the men in gray, b~arefooted,
with stats slung over their shoulders,
on which were tied bundles of clothes
and a pair of boots; the women wore
blue serge skirts, gray jackets and red
handkerchiefs round their heads, and,
like the men, carried bundles, with a
water-bottle and tin mug, on their
backs. They were all slowly crawling
up the steps with bleeding knees and
torn, travel-stained garments, mutter.
ing prayers and endless litanies as they
toiled upward. On entering the church
we saw a shocking sight, so painful that
1 hesitate to describeit. Four pilgrims
were on their knees, with their heads
bent down to the ground in the most
unnatural attitude, their eyes shut, and
the swollen veins standing out like
cords from their crimsoned foreheads.
A man walked by the side of each,
holding N end of a handkerchief,
while the wretched penitent held the
other, and was thus guided along the
pavement. For a few seconds we did
not realize what was taking place, but as
they crawled onward we noticed four
marks like a dark ribbon behind them,
and it dawned on us they were actually
licking the floor! And such a floor!
Thousands of only half-civilized human
beings had been in the church since
day-break, as the tainted atmos-
phere but too plainly showed. For
over eighty yards these wretched Great
ures kept their tongues or the rough
pavement, over every pollution that
came in their way. We were chained
to our seats by horror and disgust, and
in spite of ourselves stayed till they at
last reached the altar steps and were
permitted to rise. Their faces haun
me still; the small cunning eyes turnin
stealthily toward us, and as hastil
turned away; the half-shame-faced,
half-ferocious look; the coarse, dirt
smeared features, the matted heads OF
hair. and the lolling, lacerated tongues
bleeding over their chins. And these
were fellow creatures, these benighted
wretches, looking like scared wild
beasts! What religion can that be which
permits such a frightful exhibition,
such a loathsome scene of human de.
gradationr
