CURRENT PRESS COMMENT.

PROHIBITION is impracticable. That has been
demonstrated but great approach to the Dement'S
of legitimate restraint upon the liquor traffic may be
ACCOMPLISHED by system of judcious taxation. That,
too has been demonstrated. 1t gives great pleas
that many of the foremost advocates of
temperance putting themselves on the hlghcense
platform.-Phiadelphia Record.
IT is the Democratic party which will be indicted at
the court of public opinion the chief euprt IN TINS
business of bulldozng and murder. The leaders OF
that party know to-day that they have only to speak
the word and these outrages will cease. But they
know also that their only road to power is by such
lawless acts and they will silently acquiesce in the
past. They greatly misudge the sense of justice Of
the American people, however if they expect to es-
cape the full measure of punishment melted out to the
perpetrators of and partners in such crimes.-Phlla

COUPLED with the utterances of Irishmen in this
country to the effect that any means used against
England were justiiable, the recent explosions and
attempts at the be attributable alone to
hishmen; and that they injuring their cause by
oreirdicing the world against then-as the best men
of the party agreeails to deter them in the least
their work. While men like P J. Sheridan openly ad
wise resort to dynamite and men like Rossa boast OF
their pottngs at destruction there is call for bold
speech the part OF Irish Americans in condemna
ton of the pohcy.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
WATCHING in all quarters the signs of the times, "
daily getting more and more certain that the
temperance issues soon to swamp all others
great Ohio valley flood covers the usual water
with a blending of whirling waters. The
antl,slaVery ag1tabon was a WIG lhIeIhltIen' anu
scattered epidemic of excited human sentiment, com
pared with the tempest that is getting ready to take
BY the throat the traffic that is evil from beginning to
end and that is infinitely dfer curse to the 0UOOO
900 whites of this country than ever slavery

T,FF us see-our hogs diseased petroleum is
adulteratedi our cotton is wet sandy and badly
packed and cattle not fit to be eaten. All this
is from the European stand point How do we man
age to live ourseves And there not danger that the
pauper labor of America, which has to put up with
such things will become byword in England, France
and Germany? Thanks to admirable system of grain
inspection, wheat is accepted everywhere, and in
GH~bTph hawn
unjustly suspected through prejudice will be recog-
nized. Meantime, we can afford to wait-New York
Herald.
THE danger that is feared and it is not an imaginary
one is that fine present policy of the government will
force gold to premium, a result which at this time
would be nothing short of financial calamity This
Is the logical outcome of the silver policy of the coun
try, and the it is realized at Washington the
easily will great financial CRISIS be averted
The talk about the use OF silver lnJu1ng the ereV OF
Boston to the advantage of New York is nonsense
No city in the country will fight harder for sound
money basis than Boston. If from any motive the
government attempts to slverize Boston, the banks
here will find defend themselves against such
unjust scrimnation.-Boston Journal
JUST prior to the last presidential nominating sea
wrote editorial entitled No Roman Catholic

papers now printing recent interview with the
Rev. Mr. Wendte in which he declares that though
he is not bit of bgot he does not wish to even
that eminent patriot. General W. t. Sherman, made
President because of his faniys Roman procvities.
The Generals entire family is intensely Romanist We
believe it is still physical mpossibility to elect
candidate having such afinties however indirect and
the present time is the proper to agtae the
question that it shall be made forever impossible to
entange our administration Christian
Advocate.
THE nation has succeeded in getting itself snubbed
by quite number of foreign powers within the past
year two. Not speak of the extraordinary Lasker
resolution, and Bsmarcks extraordinary treatment of
it, have continued to get just what had invited
from several other nations and have manifested such
gentleneSS and meeknesS under reprOof to create
the impression that quite enjoy being the butt of
the family. In our speeches and resolutions ''go
slosbing around as if entirely ready to fight for
opinions with anybody any subject, and use lam
guage which the other nations considered civilized do
not use unless when they mean to back it up But
afterward having been told less CURLY to
mind our own business we pass the whole matter
lightly if what the United States said not of
the least account anyway: Possibly, our present
rulers and lawgvers may enjoy this state of things,
but they should know that it is dstasteful to many of
the peope.-New York Tribune -..
