THE PROH1BITIONISTS.

The national prohibitionist convention
which has been in session in Pittsburg, Pa,
completed its work last night and adjourn
ed sine die about midnight. AS predicted
in yesterdays GAZETTE, Gov. John P. St.
John, of Kansas, was nominated for the
Presidency, and Mr.. VIM. Daniel, of Mary
land, for the ce-Presidency. The nomi-
nations were made unanimous.
The platform is, of course, of radical
probationary character, and declares that
Congress should exercise its undoubted
power and prohibit the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating beverages in the District
of Columbia, in the territories of the United
States and in all places over which the
government has exclusive Jurisdiction; that
hereafter no State shall be admitted into
| the Union until its constitution shall ex-
pressly prohibit polygamy and the manu-
facture and sale of intoxicating beverages.
1t favors woman suffrage, and declares
that revenue for customs duties should be
levied for the support of the government
levied, the fostering of American labor,
manufactures and industries should con-
stantly he held in view. That the public
land should be held for homes for the people
and not for gifts to corporations, or to be
held in large bodies for speculation upon
the needs of actual settlers. That all money,
coin and paper, shall be made, issued and
regulated by the general government, and
shall be legal tender for all debts, public
or private. That grateful care and support
should be given to our soldiers and sailors,
their dependent widows and orphans, dis
abled in the service of the country. That
we repudiate as uu-American, contrary to
and subversive of the principle of the Dec
laration of Independence, from which our
government has grown to be the govern.
ment of 50, DOC, 900 people, and recognized
power among nations, that any person or
people shall, or may be, excluded from resi-
dence or citizenship with all others who
may desire the benefits which our institu-
tons confer upon the oppressed of all ma
tons.

THE YOUNG MEMS DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Is it possible that so patriotic and so glori-

one of the necessary adjuncts in bringing
about such result meet with signal failure
instead Of signal success?
We cannot believe that they will, but that
the reason that they have not yet Hooked

work, and great amount of it, which we
can perform, if we are only encouraged in
our efforts. Whilst we call our organiza-

Cured at Narbonne and St. NaZalre.
At village not far from Toulon two deaths

almost exclusively on fruit.
PARIS, July 25.-The condition of affairs
at Aries is deplorable in the extreme. The
water supply has been entirely cut off,
owing to an accident in the hydraulic ap.
paratus. The numerous funerals of the
cholera victims have been conducted by
men who were generally drunk. These
funerals have, moreover, been greatly re-
tarded by the fact that the carpenters refuse
to make collins for those who die of cholera.
Nearly all the bakers and butchers have
left the city. The supply of food is scarce,
and the epidemic seems to be spreading
In Vintmiglia, Italy, there have been 10
| deaths.

Mr.. WISE, has applied to the highest
Court of the State to have law stricken
from the rolls, upon the alleged ground that
it was not passed by the required vote. AS
the Court is composed of members chosen
by General Malone, there is no telling what
it may do in the premises. Now it the
unouestioned province of the court to de-
eide upon the constitutionality of any law
enacted by the Legislature, but it has no
more right to decide upon the correctness
of the record of the Legislature than the
Legislature has to decide upon the correct
ness of the record of the Court. The Legs
lature is the body, and it alone, that is
authorized to determine whether or not the
requisite number of members were present
when bill was passed.
