The Question of Temperanee a Social One.

The question of temperance is social one,
and is not measured by any political lines.
The views of Republicans are not the same
anywhere, and they cannot be bound by the
resolutions of party leaders. The question
should be, and in the nature of things must
be- submitted to the people as social one,
without the CONSTANTS and embarrassments
of political parties or leadership.

Somewhat Vigorous Paragraph.


Horace Heffren, like Sir John Falstaff, is
an unmitigated liar, a shameless coward, and
is possessed of huge mass of unwieldy
flesh" But in addition to these otheS beauti-
full and edifying qualities, Horace is also a
double-dyed traitor; a traitor to TIE State
which nourished him, and traitor to the
traitors into whose hands he attempted to
betray his State. Horace is colossal villain.

proclaimed at Mecca an Arab Caliph and rival
to the sovereign of the Ottomans The spread
of fanaticism in the infammable Mahometan
world would affect England's position in India
and increase the dangers of French conquests
in Northern Africa. Indeed, it requires no. ar
gument to p1o owe that Ell Mahdi with his religious
pretensions as the Vice-Regent of Allah and his
victorious sword as the leader of fanatical
horde. is more formidable adversary than
Arab was year ago. The English press does
not affect to despise him, but on thecontrary
magnifes his opportunities for working mischief
among the excitable children of the desert. 1t
accepts implicitly, almost greedily, the unintel-
ligible bulletins of the battle OF FL Obelo as
furnishing an irrefutable argument against tho
retirement of the British garrison from Egypt.
All the London journals are agreed upon this
point. and Lord Salisbury, with indecent haste,
proclaims as infallibe political dogma the i'm
possibility of evacuating the Nile countries.
This, then, will be the first practical result OF
Ell Mahdi's triumph, if the incongruous details
so far received are fully confirmed The British
garrison will remain in Cairo and Alexandria
something less Than thousand miles distant
from the battlefield In the SOudan.

A GOOD TEST.

In January Mr.. Chaplin will become Control
Ter. Mr.. O'Brien Attorney General, and Mr.
Sweet State Engineer. The three men whom
they displace and who have served the people
with fidelity and efficiency. are Republicans.
What are the new Democratic officials going to
do about the subordinate positions of their re-
spective offices Do they purpose TO retain the
deputies and clerks that have served under
Messrs. Davenport, Russell and Seymour, or 10
make clean or partially clean swept
Of course the assumption is that no trust
worthy, efficient subordinate will be disturbed
the assumption based upon reading the plat
forms of recent Democratic State Conventions.
The platform upon which the Democratic State
officers elect were nominated and elected began
with the assertion that " the Democracy of New
York reafirm the platform adopted by the last
State Convention" The State Convention OF
1882 adopted platform containing plank
reading, ave repeat our demand of 1881 for
reform and publication of the Civil Service"
The demand of 1881 was In these unequivocal
words: awe are in favor of such reform by
@legislative enactment as well as by admins
trative action i'm the Civil Service of the
country as will substitute for the present
aperiodica scramble for spoils wise system of
appointment and promotion by which the In
"cumbency of subordinate offices shall be reg
"ulated by law and depend only upon capacity
and character II will be seen that by these
terms these three platforms are linked together
and made one, so far as their Civil Service
planks are concerned. The platform of 1883
"reafirms the platform of 1882, and the
platform of 1882 is at pains to repeat our de-
mand of 1881" And since State Convention
is the authority of last resort there Is no logical
reason why any of the worthy subordinates in
the State House at Albany should fear lest with
the coming in of new official heads their own
should roll into the basket.
Nevertheless it il by no means certain that
the basket will not receive some such heads.
For the Democratic appetite is keen and there is
n good deal of it in all the counties. The press
ure that will be brought to bear upon Messrs.
Carr, O'Brien and Sweet for places will be enor-
nous and persistent. Not that they will be
asked to debauch their sacred convictions of
duty. OF course not. They will merely be re-
quested to postpone acting upon their convic-
tons until some other year." VIII they resist
the pressureR We shall see.

SHOULD MASON BE PARDoYEDr

Public interest Is reviving in the case of Ser
geant Mason. 1t Is more than two years and
two months since he did what many other men
in the country would have been glad TO do
fred shot at Guitcau. Since that time he has
been continuously in prison, though his sentence
did not begin until March, 1882. This sem
tence was felt by many to be a severe one, even
under the stern codes of the Army. Ii was that
he should be dishonorably discharged, losing
not only pay and allowances TO which he might
become entitled, but pay and allowances TO
which he might have already become entitled,
and should serve for eight years at hard labor in
the Penitentiary. This sentence will not expire
until 1890.
We believe the sober second thought of the
country has approved the firm refusal of Pres
dent Arthur thus far to pardon Sergeant Mason.
A good deal OF false sentiment has made itself
heard and is heard even now on this case.
Abhorrcnt as Guiteau's crime was, Mason had
no more right to shoot at him than at any other
prisoner under his charge as n soldier of the
United States Army. If the President had
yielded to the clamor that arose for his pardon,
and granted the petitions that were sent to
Washington bearing hundreds of thousands of
names, it would have amounted to n declaration
that there were circumstances under which sol
diers could be excused for attempting to kill
their prisoners. 1t could hardly have failed to
relax the discipline of the Army.
Much of what is said now about Mason is
hardly more reasonable than the talk when the
emotion that followed Garfcld's death was still
great. 1t is foolish to say that if Mason had
been defaulter or embczzler he would be far
better off than he is now. LOOseness in one
thing does not excuse-certainly does not re-
quire-lOoseness in another. 1t Is not very per-
tinent either to insist that Mason shall be al
lowed to spend Thanksgiving Day with Betty
and the Baby" Mason should have thought of
their possible sufierings-which popular charity
has prevented-before he fred the shot There
is only one ground upon which pardon for
Mason can be properly Asked and that is. that
taking into account all the circumstances, he
has perhaps suffered enough for the crime of a
momentary impulse to take vengeance upon a
despicabe assassin. He has probably learned
the lesson he needed, and so have his fellow
soldiers. A pardon now would not do the harm
an immediate pardon would have done.

INTERNAL MACHINES IN LONDON.
A SOCIALIST ARRESTED FOR HAVING ExPLosIv


A SOCIALIST ARRESTED FOR HAVING EXPLOSIVE
MATERIAL IN HOUSE.
LONDON, Nov. 23.-The police at midnight az
rested one Wolf, member of the Advanced Social
lists Club of London. Upon searching his house at
Vincent Square, Westminster the police discovered
two Internal machines, which are considered to be
Of sufficient power TO demolish any building. One
of them consisted of large zihc pail nearly flied
with coarse blasting powder and guncotton, covered
with scrap iron, with fuse at the bottom. The
second machine was q large tin cooking utensil
similarly prepared. Major Majendie, Government
Inspector and other officials examined the machines
The machines were fitted with time fuses. After
Major Majendie had discovered the dangerous ma
ture OF the explosive material he ordered it to be
destroyed by water. There were about ton pounds
Of explosive matter in each machine Wolff is said
to be of German OF Polish extraction and has been
engaged time at the waxwork exhibition of
tho Royal Aquarium. There was a violent ex-
ploson four months ago at his house, which he 70.
ported as an explosion of gas.
The prisoner gave his name as William Wolff and
his occupation as a chemist. He was brought be-
fore Sir James Taylor Ingham at the Bow Street
Police Court and charged under tho Explosives
Act with knowingly having in his possession an
explosive substance for unlawful purpose. The
prisoner asked for a German interpreter.
superintendent Williamson dep0sed that the pris-
oner last evening was possessed of internal ma
chimes, and was unable to give satisfactory
for the possession thereof. A Bow-st police officer
testified that no met the prisoner on Vauxhall
Bridge road. close to his house, the prisoner running
away when he was approached. After arreStins
him they proceeded to the prisoners lodgings where
the Internal machines were found as described.
There also found fourteen empty cans such
are used for powder and some documents, including
q letter TO Count Won Minister tho German Ambas-
sador, written in German, which says: IL you
wish Freedom you must give us equality" IL is
signed Proletarian" The prisoner said the things
found must have been placed there by a Frenchman.
Wolff was remanded until Thursday next.
A Frenchnan named Bolderane gave the police
the information which led to the arrest. The SO.
Jamess Gazette says it is reported that VOLTS ma
chimes were intended to blow up the German En-
bassy III London.
