Prohibition.

Variety, "the spice of life," is sure
to be abundant this year, so far as
presidential candidates are concerned.
Those who believe in making pro-
hibition a national political question
met at Pittsburgh, Pa, on the oath.
Thirty-one states and territories were
represented by sos delegates, who
were more or less enthusiastic in the
cause.
st. John of Kansas was nominated
for president, and Daniel of Mary
land for vice president.
The platform adopted is quite
lengthy, but may be summarized as
acknowledging God as the rightful
sovereign of all men, from whom the
just powers of government are de-
rived, and to whose laws human
enactments should conform; arraign-
ing the republican party for making
no effort to change the policy of the
general government during twenty
five years-that there are 20O, 900 dis
tilleries, breweries and retail dealers
holding certificates and "claiming the
authority of the government for the
continuation of g. business SO des-
tructive to the moral and material
welfare of the people'-arraigning
the democratic party for placing itself
against prohibition, and both parties
for competing for the liquor vote, tha,
revenues from. alcohols, liquors and
tobacco should be abolished, that
hereafter no state shall be admitted
into the Union until its constitution
shall expressly prohibit polygamy and
the manufacture and sale of intoxi.
eating beverages. A number Of other
subjects are touched upon, but the
kernel of the movement is contained
in the second plank, viz:
That the importation, manufacture
supply and sale of alcoholic beverages
created and maintained by the laws o.
the National and State Governments
during the entire history of such laws
is everywhere shown to be the pro
noting cause of intemperance, will
resulting crime and pauperism, max
ing large demands upon public and
private charity, imposing large anJ
unjust taxation and public burdeni
for penal and sheltering institutions
upon thrift, industry, manufacture
and commerce endangering the pub
lie peace causing desecration of tht
Sabbath corrupting our politics, leg
islation and administration of th'
laws; shortening lives, impairine
health and diminishing the product
i've industry; causing education to b'
neglected and despised; multiplying
the teachings of the Bible, the church
and the school--the standards an(
guides of our fathers and their chill
dren in the founding and growth
undef God, of our widely extended
country, and which, imperiling th'
perpetuity of our civil and religious
liberty, are baleful fruits, by which
we know that these laws are alik,
contrary to Gods laws and contra

Blaine's Church Relations.
A LETTER From HIS FORMER PASTOR TO THE
NEW YORK TRIBUNE.

To the Editor of the NeV York Tribune:
Sir: May / answer through your columns.
the many inquiries and letters that come to
me respecting Mr.. Blaine's church relations.
Mr.. and Mrs. Blaine united on confession of
faith, with the Old South Congregational
Church, Augusta, Me-, in 1858. DR.. E. B.
Webb now of the Shawmut Avenue Church
Boston, was then pastor. He CDR. Webb not
only had taken to wife the lovely and gifted
daughter of his venerable predecessor, DR..
Tappan, but had taken to heart his father-in
laws substantial theology, and judging from
his recent action at the Old South installation
in Boston we may be sure there was no flaw
in the evidences of the yonng couple. They
were no doubt ''soundly converted" The
Congregational church does not tolerate the
idea of falling from grace so they must be
'persevering saints" to this day. However
that may be they are greatly beloved and
honored in the church. Still more, they and
their household and their guests are always
in their places on Sundays. The children are
in the Sabbath school. And, once more. they
contribute generously to the support of the
church, by their gifts, their influence and
their wise cOunsels.
Mr.. Blaine has stated over his own sigma
ture, the private letter being now made pub
ilC, tildt HIS Idtner was u IreSDyteIldu anu MS
mother Catholic. He was trained 10 a Pres
byterian college, and ''sat in Presbyterian
Sunday school class" with some of the men
who are trying to forget the fact just nGw for
a reason. Mrs. Blaine comes of the old New
England Stanwood stock, which has been
Congregational from the beginning.
Now, having stated the facts positively for
the benefit of some of the wrong headed or
gans proceed to state them negatively. Mr..
Blaine is not a Presbyterian. The nation
will please take note of this item, and recall
its snivelling squib about "Blaine's Presby-
terianism' and he was playing it as bait to
catch the Presbyterians of Pennsylvania.
Some one ought to tell the nation that it is
bad enough to depraise man on false prem
ises, but it is downright villany to abuse
man on false premises. The nation ought
to know that no man ever caught Presbyteri-
an Ash with Congregational bait. Mr.. Blaine
is not Catholic and from the above citation
of facts ii is plain he never has been since
coming to mans estate. If as little child
he took his mothers hand and walked with
her to church, why there is good Protestant
day of judgment coming which will no doubt
purify as by fire the touch of that mothers
hand. Some Of the city papers and many of
the country papers, will please take note of
this fact. Mr. Blaine is not Catholic, but a
straight out New England, orthodox Congrega-
tionalist.

The opposition to Cleveland that the
labor organizations OF New York are show
ing is more threatening than the buster
of Tammany. At meeting of delegates
from number Of trade and labor organi-
cations, held in New York recently, a
strong feeling of hostility to Cleveland's
nomination was developed on the ground
that "he vetoed the five cent fare bill he
declined to sign the car drivers and con-
ductors' bill, limiting their hours of labor
to twelve hours day; he declined to sign
the mechanics lien law; he appointed to
the head OF the bureau OF labor statistics a
democratic politician unknown to the
labor world" The speakers at this meet
ing denounced Cleveland as unworthy of
support. Arrangements were made for a
mass-meeting to give greater emphasis to
these sentiments.
