4 pKOHIBiIION CIyDID1TE.


The Prohibition party, under the direction
of old Democratic politicians and encouraged
10y Democratic funds, has become entirely a
movement for the defeat of the Republican
party. The Prohibitionists of Ohio, in
their desire to defeat the Republican
cause, nominated for Governor gentle
man whose Prohibition practice was
somewhat imperfect as compared with his
preaching. Dr. Lconard's drinking however,
affected only himself. The New-York Pro-
hibitonstS have put themselves in an even
worse attitude by the nomination of
man one of whose buildings is used for
the retail sale of liquors. We refer to W.
Jennings DemOrcst, who fancies that he is
making a race for Lieutenant Governor and
who is spending his wealth with lavish hand
to disseminate falschOOds about the Republican
candidates.
Mr.. DemOrest Is the owner of property at No.

unfortunate circumstance. Ii puts the Demo

Indo- Chinese empire has only been temporarily
checked by the late elections. The danger OF q

from annexation that the latter is now approved

nothing short of unconditional submission on
the part of King Thebaw (supposing him to be

this programme. The reign of Thebaw has
been so full of cruelty and infamy that his own
subjects would doubtless be the most relieved

and prosperity for them and protection against
the chronic incursions of the turbulent Slams

MP G1RL1ND'S BID FAITH


II is The TRIBUNE's unpleasant duty to
present still another count in its Indictment OF
Acknowledgement Garland before the people.
There seems to be no limit to his Obtuseness
upon those questions OF official honor which
have heretofore been guarded with care in the
Department of Justice The intimate conncc-
ton between these departures from the course
of propriety and honor and Mr.. Garland's
private exchequer have scandalized his hlgh
Office Just about as much as the people care to
permit. 1t seems idle to hope for any adequate
explanation of them, for when explanations
come they only serve to inculpate him more
seriously.
The facts we present upon another page
to-day are matters of record. They show that
the United States has a claim of $1,351,2s6,
principal and interest upon trust investment
in State bonds, against the State OF virginia
that in common with other bondhoders the
Government has suffered from the reputation
laws enacted after the partition OF the State
that the claim is utterly worthless unless it be
converted into the 3 per cent coupon bonds
issued for the purpose of funding the STATE
bonded indebtedness that Il further attack
has been made by Virginia upon its good faith
by an attempt to dlscredit and invalldatc these
coupon bonds that actions have been brought
bv private creditors to enforce the provisions
of the act which authorized the funding; and
that Mr.. Garland. after he became Attorney
General, and with Il fun knowledge of the
governments claim, appeared before the
Supreme Court and argued under private
retainer for the State of Virginia and against
the interests of the United states.
The reputable lawyer does not live who VIII
fail to regard this conduct as a gross betrayal
of a clients welfare. II appears that when Mr..
Garland has been privately questioned upon the
propricty of his appearance, he has made two
characteristic dcfcuccS. One is that he was
retained before he became Attorney General,
an excuse almost too childish for notice, and
meaning merely that he deliberately placed
himself in a position where he must choose
which of two clients he can best afford to bc
false to- The other is that the Governments
claim was not in coupon bonds, but IN the
original issue. The fact that the only possible
value in the original issue lay in their being
refunded in the coupon bonds, and that an
attack upon the validity of the latter obviously
struck at the value of those held by the United
States quite dispOses of this plea.
Mr. Garland's moral qualities are not up to
the standard that the American people expect
of their Attorney General. This is the long
and short of il.

4 PRETENDED REFORM ;R.

Alfred G. Chaplin, Democratic candidate for
State Controller, is making special efforts to
run ahead of his associates on account of his
reform" record. His Democratic friends
boast that as State Controller he has appointed
over forty men to positions, most of them
under the Civil Service law, and not one of
them Republican. That is the record on
which this man appeals for support from the
friends of Civil Service Reform.
Either the State Civil Service law is a hum
bug, or Mr.. Chaplin is dishonest " reformer"
The law speaks for itself. 1t absolutely
prohibits any discrimination for political
reasons in the choice of subordinates. Mr..
Cbapin's friends boast that he has successfully
cyaded it, An outspoken enemy of this reform,
like Governor Hill, in proportion to his
oppOrtur tiles to do it HARM is less to be feared
than a false friend like Alfred G. Chaplin. This
man should be specially marked for condemna-
ton by every voter who wishes well to the
cause of Civil Service Reform.
Mr.. Chaplin has bad record as working
rcf0rmer. Satisfactory evidence has been
furnished to prove that since he was elected
Controller two years ago he has not averaged
one day a week in attendance on the duties of
his office. He has spent his time in New York
and Brooklyn attending to his private business.
This is in marked contrast TO Mr.. Wadsworth,
who was dilgent in looking after the affairs of
his Office when Controller. Mr.. Wadsworth
originated the law taxing corporations which
has already brought over $S,OO0,OOO into the
State treasury. No intelligent voter ought to
hesitate to cast his ballot for Mr.. Wadsworth
in preference to such a bogus reformer as
Chaplin.

JVdGES or LABOR.

Testimony as to the value of the Republican
policy to the laborng men of this country comes
from an unexpected source. Naval Constructor
Hichborn was sent by the Navy Department to
visit the principal dock-yards of Europe, and
has now made an elaborate report Therein he
bears testimony to the difference in rate of
wages between this country and Europe, n
difference which Democratic politicians, in the
last and previous campaigns, were fond of de-
nying Mr.. Hichborn says that in British pri-
yate yards day wages seldom amount to more
than 90 to 60 per cent of what the same trades
receive in the United States But in Govern
ment yards wages are better; the average is 3s
3D., or about 80 cents per day, but picked and
permanent hands get 81 90 per day. Those
who contrast these wages with the wages paid
in similar occupations in this country will real
ize how wide is the difference which twenty
five years of Republican policy has made in the
rewards of labor here and sewhcre.
For Great Britain paws better than any other
country except the United States. The report
as to France is most dsheartening. Labor in
the dock yards gets about 30 cents per day +;
backsmiths' helpers get % to - cents; second
class shipwrights get I5 to % cents; average
backsmiths, filters and turner's get about go
cents very competent shipwrights or smiths
get 50 cents per day. These wages are fully 30
per cent below those in Great Britain, and, as
Mr.. lIichborn says. the British wages are from
- to 10 per cent below those of the United
States. This testimony comes from one of the
earliest official reports made to the new Admin
istration. 1t can hardly be supposed thar it
will CRAFTY Secretary Whitney. The conduct
of Nj. Whitney toward the American ship
builder whom he drove into bankruptcy, and
whose workers are now in want because of Mr..

dreds of families, and the mothers ana chiluren
are left at the threshold of an almost Arctic
winter, not only plunged in affection, Dut
paralyzed by the deprivation OF their sole
support. 1t is most pitiful situation, beyond
n doubt but it seems to bring things to such
state of crisis that an heroic remedy may DC
determined anon by the Dominion Govern
ment.
1t is said that 1000 people are made destitute
by this sweeping calamity. If TINS estimate Is
correct, no better opportunity is likely to occur
for the Abandonment of coast wh'ch ms
never furnished decent living in compensa-
ton for the fearful suffering and hardship OF
life in so inhospitable a region 1t Is clear that
the widows and children of the unfortunate lost
seamen cannot hope to support themselves
next wear, even if the Government takes tuil
charge of them through the winter. Ihere Is
no serious agriculture possible in Labrador, ana
with the muscle of the community gone, hshlng
is out Of the question. Why not, therefore,
transport the survivors to some more pracu-
cable part of the Dominion There are many
millions of acres fvirgin soil awaiting tlliage
under the most favorable conditions. VI
course there would be difficulty in persuadng
the LabradOrians to mig1ate, Tor people
always cling the more tenaci0usly to the most
cheercss and forbidding scenes. But they
cannot live upon air, and the Government upon
whose bounty they are henceforth dependent
has some right to a voice in the arrangement OF
their future, and especially some title to protest
against choice which involves the liability OF
chronic pauperism 1t is certainly painful
situation, but migration seems the only
thoroughly practical course under the circum-
Sta
