and that one Of these days q large planet
will plunge into the orbit Of some of the
stars and smash them all to pieces. The

any particular presidential candidate He was

bring the matter to a focus, he would move that
the club indorse the claims of James G. Blaine
Judge Smith, sot down." said the president,
in voice which seemed to come from an empty
barrel "Nex time you am stopped in de street
an axed who dis club favors you needn't lose
any valuable time to answer. We hasn't boxed
ourselves up yit, an we doan' propose to go it
blind. Dis club doan' admit dat Blaine, Logan

man has any claim on de presidency. No one

Ought the Temperance People to Organize a
Third Party?

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal:
THE children of this world are, in their gen
Grafton, wiser than the children Of light and
the liquor men are no exception to the rule.
They do not propose to organize party to
champion their interest. but use their power in
both parties to subserve their cause. Let pro-
hioitionists be equally wise One fact that is
clear since the Ohio election is this: that two
thirds if not threefourths of the Republican
party, and about one-third of the Democratic
party for prohibition. Now, as lifelong
Republican and prohibitionist l submit this
question: Is it the best policy to divide in the
house of our friendsl Since we are in
the majority in the Republican party, had we
not better stay and assert our rights as to the
policy of the partyl Nothing is clearer than the
fact that the present leaders of the Republican
party in Indiana are only leading a minority on
this question, and it is only question of time
land that not long, when we must cast these Jo-
nahs overheard The party ship can not sail on
prosperously while they are asleep to the peIils
that surround us.
For one, propose to stay with them and act
as sensibly as the liquor men dO-eXercise the
royal right to scratch and vote for the other
man if he stands better on this question of pro
hbtion.
But you say keep this question out of politics.
How are You to do 1t when candidates lug it in
in the wrong way.
No, the question is in politics, where the saloon
lists took it. and there it will stay; and it is GER
tain the Democratic party will take sold stump
tuaryg and the wellregulated license theory of
it. For the Republican party to stand for high
license would put them on the side of the worst
kind of monopoly, To ignore the question
would be eowardly; and the American people
hate towards. To stand in with the Democratic
party for the saloon vote means defeat So the
only manly route as we see it, is to take the
straight, route to prohibition bt the way
of submission to a vote of the people.
This will require from four to six years, and in
the meantime we propose to stay with the old
party as fanatic" not FOSSIL and fight it out
on this line all this summer at least In the
meantime let the prohibition Republicans quit
nominating and voting for men who stand in with
saloons This crime of the age must come down
from high places, and since he laughs at us when
we throw tufts of grass propose to throw
stones, and from such a position that we think
will be most effective. j. E. BRANT.

A gentleman who knew Garfield well tells a
story which has never before been published of
this remarkable man. ''We were sitting" said
this gentleman Sin the Office of the Secretary of
the Navy, Mr.. Thompson of Indiana, waiting to
be heard on some matter of routine business
when Garfield took his seat at vacantdesk near
by and commenced writing with both hands
upon scratch pads on either side of him He
seemed to write with one hand as freely as with
the other. Both hands, in fact, appeared to
move automatically. The only difference was
that the lines on the tablet written with the left
hand were reversed from the usual order. The
consequence was that the writing on the left
hand tablet could not be read except by an ex-
pert, or by holding it up to a lighI or before a
mirror. | looked at the one written with the
left hand on its upper side, and while the lines
seemed remarkably uniform they conveyed no
meaning. but holding the thin paper up at the
light | saw not only that the words written were
the same as those on the tablet written with the
right hand, but that every peculiarly in the
formation of letter which was found on the
right hand tablet was exactly reproduced OF the
left hand. The achievement was marvel to
me, as had never heard of it before although
have since heard that many people do it, Gar
field said that he often wrote that way, when
ever he wished to preserve an exact copy of
what he was writing without having a copy
made by letter press, and that in this manner
he saved a great deal of time without any more
appreciable fatigue. 1 asked him how he got
into that habit He said that while teaching
school once he had occasion to use his right hand
to point out something, and that unconsciously
he kept on writing upon the blackboard with
his left. Upon turning to the blackboard to
look at what he had written. he observed that
the writing was reversed, but that he had full
use Of his left hand for writing. and from that
time he made use of both hands He was, in
fact, completely ambi-dextrous " &C. -

Temperance and Politics.
,ditor of the indianapolis Journal:

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1 have read with peculiar interest the discussion
in your late issues on Temperance and
Politics" 1t seems to me waste of time at this
late day to attempt to argue whether or not
temperance is a political question.
No intelligent person, who has closely watched
the course of events the past few years. can
ignore the fact that the drink traffic" is fast
becoming ''the burning question" as slavery was
fifty years ago. Witness Iowa, Kansas Ohio and
several other States.
Then Democracy joined hands with slavery,
thinking thereby to gain popularity and per-
petuate its power The strongest and most
numerous advocates of the anti-slavery move
ment were inside the Wing party They pressed
thequeston on that party but it ignored the issue,
alleging that slavery was not political, but a
moral question. We know the result. Slavery,
after all, became the paramount question in pol
itics. 1t would not be smothered-the most
adroit politicians could not keep it out of politics
and, because the Wing party failed to embrace
the golden opportunity of taking fairly and earn
estly hold of that ISSUE new party sprang up
directly representing the anti slavery movement,
absorbed the Wing party, and became the great
ruling party of the nation
To-day we have presented to us an almost par
allel case. The drink traffic has become the
burning question" Its audacity and arrogance
equals that of the adherents of slavery years ago
The Democracy has joined hands with the liquor
traffic in State, as 1t did with slavery, hoping
by this alliance to gain popularity and perpetu-
ate its power
Inside the Republican party are the most nu
merous advocates of the 'anti-dramshop party"
They are earnestly pleading with the Republican
party of the State to take hold of this great
question, and to make a fair and square issue
against the unholy alliance of the Democracy
and the liquor traffic. Herein is offered one Of
the grandest opportunities the Republican party
could possibly have to maintain its prestige as
the party of progress and reform, and as the
peoples party, sustaining the homes of the
'toiling millions" against a bold and arrogant
ohgarchy of Generalization and wrong.
All over the State many of the good men and
true in the Republican party, are being held to
that party by the hope that it will, at its coming
State convention, array itself boldly and unequiv
oealy against the licensed drink traffic, as it did
against slavery years ago. By adopting this

Union City,s Arguments in NutsheII.

Union City's Arguments in Nutshell.
To the Editor of tho indianapolis journal:
''The free-trader will not deny" ''But he
will deny" 1--WE do not concede." "We do not
believe 1--WE assume 'To the free trader it
seems ETC.
His denials, assumptions and beliefs are all
based on false premises; but they are the gist of
his arguments. He says let the employees of
Powers Sc Weightman go at something else
Suppose that such a policy is continued, and
that the iron mills, the glass works, the potter
les, the cutleries the cotton mills the wooden
mills, and the thousand other factories be closed
what will Union City have those mechanics
transfer their labor to- Farming is their only
resource. But we already have surplus of
farm products What them To this argument
ee-traders have no reply
Again, Union City says, "There is no surer
law of plitical economy than that which forbds
a nation to manufacture that which it can buy
more cheaply." He does not mean more cheaply
but for less price. 1t is this law that has
ruined many farmer. Because he could buy
at low price he bought what he or his family
had no corresponding work to do by which to
earn the money, the purchase price was dead
loss
Ohio free trader intimates that he would like
to buy for 81 what now costs him So That is
wrong; because, if he succeeds in having it So
the odd dollar will come out of the earnings of
the mechanics, and not, as he supposes, from
the pockets of Powers s. Weightman.
