Dio Lewis on Prohibition.

Dio Lewis, the originator of the wo-
mans crusade in Ohio, and who has
been an ardent prohibitionist for years,
has changed his mind as to the efficacy
of prohibition making men temperate.
He says: "Of TIE success of prohibi-
tion in the state of Massachusetts,
was constant and attentive observer
for twenty years. At first public SEN
ment in its favor was very strong.
Earnest temperance men wrote the
law. The legislature passed it with
out changing word. Soon it was dis
covered that it did not cover every case,
and it was amended. Several times it
was amended, until the cunning of the
Evil One could find no possible escape
from its provisions. This prohibitory
law was not allowed to take its chances
with other laws, but large number of
selected men known as state constables,
with headquarters in Boston, were
for years on the qui vive for transgres-
sions of prohibition. They were
sworn to enforce that law. Our tax.
payers knew that large percentage of
their taxes sprang from the rum traffic;
we knew that nearly all crimes origi-
mated in strong drink every father
knew that his sons success and his
daughters happiness were imperiled by
the traffic, and we all knew that the
success of our republican institutions
was endangered in strong drink. Un-
der all these overwhelming convictions.
sustained by an immense force of state
constables, there were in Boston at the
end of twenty-four years of prohibition
including those drug stores where
drinks could be purchased without diff
fculty, grocers, many of which sold
by the drink and all of which sold by
the bottle, and the saloons--almost
five thousand places where Intoxicating
drinks could be purchased without let
or hindrance. And this is the most
law abiding large city in our country.
All the considerations, all the conceiva-
BILE motives that could inspire an intel
ligent, brave community, were concen.
trated in Boston. Yet in this city the
law was violated more than three hun-
dred thousand times a day, or more
than two million times week, and the
average punishment for the offiense
was not more than one a week.

THE PROPOSED NAVY.

A bill has passed the Senate provid.
ing for the construction Of seven new
steel vessels for the navy. This bill
was introduced 10y Senator Hale, per-
sonal friend of Secretary Chandler, and
the Harrisburg Patriot charges that
the real object of the bill is to create a
campaign fund to distribute for the
benefit of the republican party, through
the dsbursing agency of William T..
Chandler. From 1871 to 1861 the
approp'ia' atoms Tor the navy amounted
to 1886, JOO, 900, but since 1866 the Ir-
publican admi istrations have expend.
ed S3S5,00O,U0O for tn same purpose,
and yet the nation pos esses to-day a
navy that is the laughing stock of the
world. What is the necessity Just now
for seven new vessels ? Has not the
country got enough tugs and schooners
and yachts on hand to supply the de-
mands of cabinet officers during the
fashionable summer season We agree
with the Patriot that this proposition
to put several millions of dollars in
the hands of w. L. Chandler Just at
the beginning of the Presidential
campaign, looks somewhat suspicious.

Democratic National Convention.
WHO ARE LIKELY TO BE SELECTED AND
OTHERS WHO WANT TO BE-

The national rules of the Democratic
party, like those of the Republicans,
fix the number of delegates to the
National Convention at twice the mum.
ber of congressman and senators. Penn
sylvania, having two senators and one
congressman 'at-large, is, therefore, en-
titled to six delegates-at-large to each
Nantional Convention besides the two
delegates of each party from each con-
gressional district.
For the six Democratic delegates.at-
large, from Pennsylvania there is quite
a list of candidates. Three names
which are almost certain to be chosen
are William f. Harrity, ex-chairman
) of the Philadelphia Democratic Com.
mittee, and State Senators Cox, Of Lu.
zerne, and Wallace, of Clearfeld. The
choice of Mr.. Harlity may now be con.
sidered as certain to be made, because
Philadelphia will be conceded one deie-
gate-at-large, and Mr. Harritys sup
port by the Philadelphia members of
the State Convention, who have already
been chosen, is practically solid. OF
the sixty nine Philadelphia Democrats
who have been selected to go to the
Allentown Convention, the support of
forty.five is positively assured to Mr.
Harrity, not to mehtion many others
whose friendship for him is so well
known that pledges are unnecessary.
Moreover, his name is being received
with favor throughout the State, and
Hazleton has already declared its pre-.
ference for him. The rank in the
party councils of both Mr.. Wallace and
. Mr.. Coke is such as to make their
election almost matter of course. The
other candidates for delegate-at-large
are Robert E. Monaghan, of Chester
Benjamin Whitman and William l..
Scott, of Erie Congressman at-Large
Mortimer f. Elliot, of Tioga ex-
State Senator Robert p. Allen, of Ly-
coming William Souder, of Lehigh
George w. Erwin, of Dauphin; Editor
Benjamin f. Myers, of Dauphin, and
Editor James p. Barr and Malcolm
Hay, of Allegheny. Chairman w. U.
Hensel, of the Democratic State Com
mittee, who could be delegate-at-
large if he wished, has refused to let
his name go before the State Conven-
tion.

The Morrison Bill.
PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS-
MEN CONFIDENT OFITS DEFEAT.

MEN CONtIDENI Ot IFS DtFEAI.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Chairman
Morrison, of the Ways and Means
Committee, held conference to-day
with Henry Watterson and Charles
Nordhoff 1t has been discovered that
the Morrison bill can't pass. The more
it is emasculated the less attractive it
becomes. Somebody must be held re-
sponsible for the failure of the Free
Traders to redeem their pledges and
who more appropriately than Mr.. Ran
dali 1t is true he has not lifted fin
ger to prevent tariff legislation, but he
will vote against the bill, and he has a
following, something that Mr.. Morri-
son greatly needs.
Mr.. Randall will not oppose the
Tariff bill with an Appropriation bill.
Mr. Randall and his Democratic sup
porters believe that the best policy for
the party is to defeat the Tariff bill as
promptly and effectually as possible,
and they make no concealment of their
intention to contribute TO that end
but they deny any collusion with Re
publicans. They believe that all di-
yersity of sentimen, in the party can
be terminated and harmony can be re-
stored by killing the Tariff bill.
Mr.. Post of Pennsy ylvanla, secretary
of the Democratic caucus said to re-
porter to-day that he had no doubt that
the Morrison Tariff bill would be de-
feated He said il would creep into
the House very soon and be carried
out.
II don't know of any organized OPP
position to the bill but there are
enough Democrats who will vote
against it to defeat it. The vote will
be governed by indVidual opinion and
the bill he Overwhelmingly defeated.
The sooner tgets in the House and is
disposed of the better. think the
matter will be settled Immediately
The corpse will he carried out, and the
Democratic party will carry the coun
try on the Ohio platform. "
Mr.. Hopkins said that he knew of no
consultation with the Republicans,
concerning the defeat of the Morrison
bill, nor had he heard of any discussion
OF the matter among the Democrats. He
had no drubt however, he said, that
the bill would be defeated, and should
certainly vote against it.

REFORM.
ROBT. E PATTISON

1t would be unfair to attempt to pre-
judice the public mind against candi-
dates who personally solicit votes, at
this time, aud it would also be unfair
for voters to refuse to vote for any mao
who asks for support simply because of
such request. For years this custom
has prevailed, and it is now generally
understood that any man who does not
travel and ask for votes cannot get
them, Within recent years two can
didates have entered the field with the
positive announcement that they would
not make personal canvass, and in
both Instances this determination was
rigidly adhered to. There was moth
ing personally Objectionable about
either of these gentleman, and they
were entirely competent to fill the posi-
tions to which they aspired, but what
was the result These candidates were
overwhelmingly defeated by those who
went from house to house, and from
field to field. 1t has therefore been
demonstrated that the aspirant who
stays at home stands no chance as
against those who travel
Whose fault is it, that such is the
case ? 1t certainly is not for pleasure
that the candidate spends couple of
months in going through the townships
in all kinds of weather. He has his
horse hire, his travelling expenses, his
loss of time, which of themselves make
no inconsiderable amount. But these
are the least of his expenditures. BY
the custom OF the country he is COM
PEELED to stop at every tavern and
treat the crowd, and then in order that
no ore may be offended he is expected
TO leave few dollars at each bar to
'set em up for the Toys" who do not
happen to be present just then. Be-
sides this the township workers, the
men who are supposed to have the
most influence at the polls in their re-
spective districts, must be seen and
won over to the cause of the aspirant.
These men in many instances, (fortu-
nately there are some exceptions) must
have money for their time and infiu,
ence, others must be paid for hauling
voters to the polls on the day of cleo
ton, and so it goes, few dollars here
aud few there, until when the can
vass is over the candidate finds him
self defeated, and perhaps in deb, for
money borrowed to meet the require,
ments of the campaign or if nominat-
ed, he finds that il will take one or two
years salary, or perhaps all his term of
office is worth TO make up what he has
spent in securing it.
As we said in the beginning, 1t would
not be fair now to refuse to vote for
the candidate who asks for votes. 1t
is not his fault that he does it, Ii is
the fault Of The people, ,oho compel
him 10 pursue this course. The peu-
pie have permitted it until it has be
come necessity, and any attempt at
referm must be made by the people
first Just how to bring about change
10 this matter is a difficult problem,
Let the people take it in hand, and dis
cuss it, and all democrats who have
views on the subject that they consider
worth making public have the privilege
of our columns Start the ball rolling
now, and perhaps something may be
accomplished that will benefit candi-
dates and people alike.
