THE SUBMISSION PLANK.
Adopted by the Republican State Cou
vention at Detroit, Aug. 10, 1854.

1t is the fundamental right of
the people to alter, from time to
time, the organic law of the State,
as new circumstances or growing
evils may require, laying its founda-
ton on such principles and organ
izing its powers in such form as to
them shall seem most likely to effect
their safety and happiness. The
evils of intemperance have become
so great that, in the name of pa
triotism, the most efficient measure
ought to be taken to reduce those
evils to u minimum, and, as the
members of no political party are
wholly agreed as to whether this can
best be done through prohibition or
the regulation of the tratficin intox-
icatiug liquors, and rs the people
are, and ought to he the final arbi-
traitors of this question, and as the
moral and intellectual people of
the State have asked that the ques-
ton be put to the people by submits
sion to them of - prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment, we again de-
clare that we believe it would be
wise and patriotic for the next leg
islature to submit such an amend
ment to q direct vote of the people,
and we demand that it he so submit
ted."

citizen? Or bring IL nearer home Your
Rob Is a good, generous boy, but In
clined to be little fast. With all your
prayers and efforts you have not quite
succeeded In training him In the "way
he should GO" How would it do to
discard the Old-fashioned methods and
adopt this new process for promoting
purity and temperance! You encOur-
age Rob to visit the saloons and the
house of the strange woman In the hope
that what he sees there will so disgust
him with life Of sin and shame as TO
develop In him the best traits of
manly and Christian character. Pos.
stbly IL may. but it Is far more probable
that he Will go as an OK to the slaugh-
ter, and as fool to the correction of
the stocks, until his flesh and his body
are consumed. Having faith In the re-
dictionary power of vice to produce vir-
tue, why should you not reduce your
theory to practice In your own family?
If you do so your boy will 20 to de-
structidn, hut he Is no better than the
thousands of boys who will be ruined
while the whisky party is furnishing
the people with more striking illustra-
tions of the evils of intemperance. You
may be willing to offer your sons on
the altar of this MOloch. l do not feel
called upon to make such a sacrifice.
1t is evident, my brother, that either
you or are WRONG with regard to the
third-party movement. Every man
must be loyal to his own conscience, and
give account for himself to God. / am
confirmed in my conviction that 1 am
right in this matter by the fact that, In
refusing to aid, directly or indirectly,
in the election of Cleveland, 1 expose
myself to the maledictiOns of the whis-
Ky party. In u pretty wide experience
extending through a good many years,
it has been my good fortune never to be
found cooperating with this fraternity,
or acting in such Il manner as to secure
their apprO baton. i can bear their
curses with equanimity; their commen-
dations would be intolerable. If Carter
Harrison Is elected Governor of Illinois
which may Heaven Forbid shall at
least have the satisfaction of knowing
that i have done nothing toward fixing
this stigma upon the State. Can you,
my brother, say as much If you cast
your vote for the third party? The
Lord give us wisdom and common sense
In all things.

PR0HlBlTIONISTS PROHIBITING Pre-
HIBlTlON.

Under the above naal, Rev. A. 3.
kedzie, editor of the Grand Haven
Herald, himself an advocate or pruhi-
bitiOu, has this to say
In the clearly shown estimate of the
union party in this State, concerning
prohibition, they seem to count it Il less
important thing that it should be done,
than that they should 10 it. To these
unionists, prOhibitionist doesn't
seem TO be worth anything, unless no
Is in their party, standing ready to
boost them into office. All this In face
Of the tact that fOur-fitths OF the pro-
hibitionists in the State are outside of
their party.
they have a better way Of doing this
thing in other States. A writer in a
recent independents says:
LII Georgia there are ninety coun-
ties out OF one hundred and thirty-six
with partial or entire prohibitions; but
the question has never got into poll
tics. No party can claim the credit
of the work. We have accomplished
it rs citizens. Nor do we expect TO
cease our efforts till the sale of whisky
is prohibited In every county In the
State. 1t stands here
upon its own merits. SO related Is it
10 the interests OF tho who're people,
and SO intimately bound up with their
present and future welfare Is 1t, that
any political party which should essay
q monopoly of it, would be thought
guilty of seeking to make private and
peculiar an issue equally dear to all
parties. 1t is n pity that anywhere
this most important social aud moral
question should be tackled on to a polit-
ical party"
More is the pity, IL prohibition be
made the chief justification for the ex-
istence of u party, as with the union
lists in this State.
But this Is less pardonable than their
disposition to dls0wn all prohibition
lists who follow not them" even
though such prohibitionists may least
out devils" If the question OF prohl-
bition is ever submitted to the people
in this State, 1t will be submitted in
the main by the republicans. And yet,
the leaders of the union party declare
that no good can come out of the re-
publican Nazareth. They say: Our
victory must be by republican defeat,
even though meanwhile 1t temporarily
place the democratic IAN acknowle dyed
whisky party In power" as il any end
could justify such means.

SETTLED WEATHER"
To he Editor,

As spring merges into summer we often
hear remarks about Settled weather" This
was an old fashioned phrase to describe cer-
tain meteorological conditions, such as are
associated with the warmer and more
pleasant months of the year.
The intelligent mind always seeks, if posi-
bic, reasonable explanation of natural
pho nomena, but in advance of facts IL is i'm
possible for even tho most intelligent mind
to comprehend the principles that govern
such phenomena.
Prior to tho advent of the perfected weather
map all the light we had on the subject was
derived from the old physical
system, but from that source the world
derived little or no info ormation in regard to
practical met eorology. 1t could tell us that
at this season of the year the sun was higher
in the ecliptc, but that did not solve the
problem Physical geography should include
meteorology, as tho whole includes the
part; but If we have n o facts In regard to that
important part, we cannot possibly know
much about it. Facts are the ali ll-important
thing. Through tho system of daily weather
reports, whereby the weather map came into
existence, we obtained the much desired facts,
and by them, and only by them, can we un-
derstand all tho phenomena connected with
the weather. By this map wo learn of the
peculiar movements of low and high barome-
ter, and of the effects thereby produced. We
learn that through the colder months of tho
year ''low" dow barometer), in its passage
across the country, more frequently travels
on lower lines of latitude than during tho
warmer months that as the sun rises higher
in the ecliptic "low" works northwardI As
the wind is toward 'low" the higher the line
of latitude OH which it travels tho warmer
it will be. As many storms pass over the
country during the fruit season of the year
MS during the colder months, but
they, pass on higher line, go by us
to the north. perhaps only the outer line
touching u.s. causing what is called focal
storms" Now what marks "settled weather"
is the storm-center low" passing over the
country on q high line of latitude. Tho
result is continued warm, pleasant weather,
with occasional showers and thunder storms,
weather warm and even in temperature, such
as is requisite for the perfection of tho fruits
of the earth.
Through the weather map we understand
that phenomena which produces what the old
folks called Settled weather." In the short
phraseology of the present it is "low on high
line" LPN

Eminent Testimony.

New York Witness, Aug. 10, 1SS0l
/ find that in addition to the pure spir-
its contained in their composition, they
contain the extracts of hops aud other
well-known and highly-approved medic
inal roots, leaves, and tinctures in quPn-
titles sufficient to render the article what
the makers claim it to be, to wit, a me-
dicinal PREPARATION and not beverage
unfit and unsafe to be used except as a
medicine.
From a careful analysis of their form
ula-which was attested under oath
/ find that in every wineglassful of Hop
Bitters the active. medicinal properties,
aside from the distilled spirits, are equal
to full dose for an adult, which fact, in
my opinion, subjects it to an internal
revenue tax as u medicinal bitters.

PROSECUTE VENDORS OF ADULTERATEI
FOOD.
10 he Editor.

The health officer has been making n groat
ado about food adulterations and having
many analyses made but no prosecutions
have followed in the cases where adultera-
tions were found. If there is any law to
proceed under, why arc not the violators of
that law punished? If there is none, the
result Of all this investigation will merely be
to call the attention of dishonest dealers to
the fact that they may sell bogus stuff ad
libitum. Now they are going, they say, to
look after lard and milk. The writer knows
nothing about lard dealers. but no does know
that there are certain milk dealers who will
not be prosecuted though the stuff
they sell bo mixed with "cursed Juice of
Lebanon" And your orator knows whereof
he speaks. Some two years ago lawyer of
this city submitted for analysis u sample of
the milk sold by prominent dealer and
which the district chemist pronounced adul.
terated Was the vender prosecuted No,
indeed. On the contrary, there was consid.
cradle feeling displayed by tho health ofn-
oials, and the clerk who lot the gentleman

A SUGGESTION.
TO the Editor.

Will you permit me to make the suggestion
the taxes now due tho district government
are estimated to be over $2,000,000 would it
not be wise on the part Of congress, as well
as q great relief to Taxpayers, to enact law
extending the privilege to pay all taxes in
arrears prior to 1880 with an interest of per
cent. instead of 10 per cent, as the law now
stands A. B.
