Can Any Consistent Man Vote the Prohibi-
ton Ticket.
To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
viii the Prohibition party persist in its deter
mined effort to help elect the Democrats to
Officer It is now reduced to a certainty that the
only hopes of the Democratic party entertain of
eecting Cleveland and Hendricks are founded
upon what they can accomplish with the Liquor
League one side and the Prohibitionist on the
other, thus presenting the strange spectacle of
using of Numerically opposite opinion to
accomplish the same end. If the Prohibition
party So called is so utterly devoid of principle
or its leaders so dull they cannot comprehend
the fact that it is being used as tool to con-
summate Democratic triumph it is time temper
ance would disown the entire Prohibition
ticket If any evidence is lacking to prove the
enormity of the corrupting influences the Demo-
cratic party is willing to select to gain the offices
refer them to the action of the Democratic Su-
preme Court of Ohio, in breaking down the Scott
law. After taxing saloons enormously and after
the saloon men have paid the license exacted
and made arrangements to carry on traffic in
conformity with the provisions of the law, and
have demanded the shutting up of the many lit
tie drunk holes which have been causing
dissipation, the announcement is made that the
municipal authorities that have been using this
tax thus collected to save the people from a di-
rect tax must refund it TO the men who, if the
Democratic theory be correct that the consumer
nays the duty, have collected this amount from
their customers The people of Ohio must now
have their homes taxed to pay back what has
already been paid from the pockets of the men
who drink, thus making the people pay twice
and in two ass essments a tribute to Democratic
corruption If the Prohibition ticket is support
ed by temperance men under these circum
stances, we will tell them right here and now that
it will set back that great reform ten years,
and maybe disorganize any reliable temperance
work in the country. The liquor men are dis
gusted with movement so revolving as this
act of the Supreme Court OF Ohio, and the Ger
mans. who the Democrats think can only be
captured with whisky, arc Disguised with it
was in Cincinnati when the decision was an
nounced and talked with two leading Germans
of that city who openly owned that no such bait
could catch the German vote of Ohio, and that
in their opinion it would drive thousands of
Democratic Germans from the support of that
party. ). W. H.

Thin Hair and Dandruff.

'lts dead skin. A man would have dandruff
all over his body if it didn't rub off towels or

A Word to the Nationals.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal
1 desire to say a word to the Nationals. The
leading issues you have made are:
Frst-That the United States had power IN
der the Constitution, to issue Treasury notes
whenever they saw fit. and to give them the
legal-tender quality. Within the last year the
Supreme Court has decided that such power was
vested in the government, thus taking this issue
out of politics
Second-For the coinage of silver,
Third-For issue of gold and silver certif-
Gates.
Fourth-That the government should honor
its own paper by making its notes receivable for
customs duties.
This is all done under the law as it now
stands. And 1 do not believe that any party
would dare lay finger on any of these laws to
repeal them.
Fifth-You demanded the abrogation of all
banks of issue.
The fact that there is now nearly $40, 100000
in the treasury of the Nation for the purpose of
redeeming national bank notes goes to show
that they are likely TO disappear as banks of
issue without any legislation on equestion, and
if such is a fact, you will surely admit that to
be the better way to dispose of the question
You and the Republican party are one on the
tariff question, Butler being one of the soundest
men on that question in the Nation, occupying
precisely the same position that Blaine does.
Blaine is surely as true an American as Buffers
The Republican party has declared for the eight
hour law and labor bureau. What more can you
hope to accomplish in that directionl -rg
Now candidy what is left of the original
Greenback principles except what the Kepub-
lican party is now advocating9 Imitation is
Democratic idea, originated and urged by Nj. M.
Pomeroy one of the shrewdest and most unscru-
pnlous Of the Democratic leaders. You surely
have no hope of electing Butler, and if you are
honest about the labor question, how can you
throw your vote away on a man you can not
elect, when by voting for Blaine you can make
the triumph of your principles an assured factl

Lieut.. A. w. Greedy,
Lost in the Arctic Regions.

At last the first vessel of the Greely
Relief Expedition, the Bear" has sailed
for the Arctic regions on its humane mission
of rescue. Two other vessels, the Thefis
and Alert. will soon follow, and If Lieut..
Greedy and his party are still survivors,
they may yet be rescued and returned to
their country and friends.
It will be remembered that the Greely
expedition set out in midsummer nearly
three years ago, to man one of the Polar
stations in the North, established for
scientific purposes by the leading govern
ments of the world. The party left the
ship g Protens" at Lady Franklin Bay and
proceeded northward. Nothing was heard
of Greedy and his followers for some time,
and then reports were received at the War
and Navy Departments that the party
were in distress. An expedition was i'm
mediately sent for their relief, which was
compelled to return without accomplishing
its purpose, or even being able to obtain
any reliable information in regard to the
fate and whereabouts of the missing party.
The details of the organization and
equipment of the present expedition by
Congressional action are known to most of
our readers. We publish an excellent like
ness of Lieutenant Greedy, who was born in
Massachusetts, and IS about forty years of
age. He is not Il graduate of any of the
military academies, and he entered the war
as private. His military record is highly
honorable. From private he was promoted
to corporal and first sergeant in Company
B Of the Ninteenth Massachusetts, Infan-
try. On tho 18th of of March, 1868, be was
made Second Lieutensut III the eighty-frst
u. S. Colored Infantry and in April, 1864
he was promoted to First Lieutenant. He
was breveted Major on March 13, 1866,
for faithful and meritorious service"
He was made Captain of the Eighty first
Coiorsd Infantry on the zth OF April, 1866,
and on the 22nd of March, 1867, he was
mustered out.
Upon the reorganization in 1869, he was
assigned to the Fifth Cavalry, and became
First Lieutenant in 1873, which is his
present rank.

NEW YORK. May 10. 1881.
EDITOR LHlkr:
Brother Talmage of Brooklyn, who if not
always reliable and instructive, is generally
amusing and interesting, took occasion
last Sunday to pitch into The theaters, and
preached sermon to his congregation as
gospel truth, having previously announced
that it was his proud boast that he had
never set his foot in theater in his life
Some few years ago Brother Talmage
wanted sensation, for sermon, so he
took d midnight round In the slums. He
saw gilded crime, crowned and jeweled-

ment. He stood by the gaming table where
thousands were won and lost, and he heard
the black curses of the ruined gamblers as
they turned away, beggars from the treach-
erous table. He went to Harry Hills and
sat among the sluggers and thieves; saw
The. Aliens gorgeous temple of sin; stood in
the midst of the mad dancers at Billy Nc
Glory's and covered his ears to shut out a
stream Of blasphemy and filth that shocked
him at 0wney Gohegan's. Brother Talmage
did we'll; he wanted to know the truth; he
wanted to see with his own eyes what he
was going to preach about, and despite the
warnings OF trembling deacons, who ex-
claimed, /" What will the worlds people say
and sanctimonious trustees, shaking for
fear he might be defled, Brother Talmage
made his midnight round He saw no more
than he ought to see, and he came out of
the ordeal no worse than he went in, though
sin and crime in its most horrible forms
surrounded him during his entire pilgri-
mage. The experiences of those eventful
nights were the foundations of some of the
most powerful sermons that Brother Tai
mage ever preached, for he spoke of what
he saw and what he knew; bat now when
Brother Talmage talks about profession

in the United States who has been carl
catured and libeled more than DR.. Talmage.
If one would believe Puuk or the amusing
idiot of the New York Times, he might
imagine Mr.. Talmage to be some rare non
descript, whose fellow could scarcely be
found upon the earth, OR in the waters
under the earth. To such an extent had
this lbelous caricaturing been carried that
On recent occasion his Brooklyn friends
rose up in a body to suppress it, and the
offensive pictures had to be removed. Mr..
Talmage asked, and think reasonably
enough, that those who would Judge him
should come and hear him.. II Brother
Talmags had done this by the players he
never would have preached the sermon he
did last Sunday.

THE YOSEMITE VALLEY,
Graphic Description Of this Famous L,
cality-Nature's Wonders.

Graphic Description of this Famous L0-
cality Natures Wonders.
Early Friday morning we leave Clark 8
which, by the way, is a remarkably well
kept house and a delightful resting place,
and proceed ON our way into the Valley,
the road still running. through the same
forests which encompassed US the previous
day. At Inspiration Point, reached at
about l O'Clock, we catch the first and
most impressive view of the Valley, and
one which can never be forgotten. The
general direction of the gorge is northeast
and southwest, and at Inspiration Point we
are on the south side of the chasm and
near the westerly end. On the left and
near at hand, rises Ell Captain, solid
granite wall lifting its bald head $500 feet
above the level. of the Valley. On the
right and almost in front of the spectator,
is the Bridal Veil Falls, nearly one thou
Just beyond is the Cathedral Rock, with it's
spires rising 5000 feet, like some mighty
minister lifting its massive facade to
heaven. Still farther on are the Three
Graces, 34O0 feet high, Sentinel Rock, with
Sentinel Dome in the rear, and directly
opposite them the Three Brothers, 400 feet
higher. At the farther end of the Valley the
North Dome 340o feet high, and the South
or Half Dome, 5000 feet high, stand as
watchmen to guard the entrance; while far
distant Clouds Rest is seen, the highest
point that overlooks this wondrous view.
The Valley itself is about six miles in
length and from half mile to mile and
half in width and is 1900 feet above the Level
of the sea. Tits partially wooded and boun-
teously decorated with rich floral off ferings,
and through it winds the silver Merced,
as clear as crystal and as pure and cold as
the vast snow fields from which it receives
its supplies. But our stay at Inspiration
Point is short and we are soon speeding
down serpentine road to the bottom of
miles brings US to " Bernard's," the best
location in the Valley, being built near
the site of the original hotel put up by
Hutchings in 1875.
From the visitor who hes but little time,
the view from Glacier Point, on the south
side and near the eastern end of the Valley,
gives the best general idea of the wondrous
beauty and grandeur Of the surroundings,
and thitherward, after lunch, we take our
way. A brisk walk of about two hours
over an excellent trail, brings us to the top,
$500 feet above the river below. At Union
Point, about two thirds of the way up, a
fine view of the lower valley was obtained;
but here not only are the river bottoms
spread out like map far below, with the
Yosemite Falls, in three sections of 1900,
600 and 400 feet respectively, nearly oppo-
site, but the eye also takes in the entire
view from Ell Captain on the west to Clouds
Rest and ths peaks of the Sierras on the
east, together with the VernaI and Nevada
Falls on the main branch of the Merced
