What the Fanatics Want.

The Rochester prohibitonlsts demand
legislation absolutely forDidding the manu-
fecture and sale of alcoholic beverages, and
all with respect to the liquor traffic. Either
no rum or free rum seems to be their cry.
Either crush out the evil or let It accom-
pllsh its worst, until the public rise up In
rebellion. But that is not the language of
sensible and practical temperance reform
els. They Want legislation which can be
carried into effect, and which will accom-
plish its intended purposes; and prohibition
has never done and will never do that.

THIS administration is like most Of its
predecessors of all parties in one respect.
IT is disposed to find places for ex-congress-
men who have been carefully dropped by
the political brethren at home. This is
good for the ex-congressmen, but it really
does not strenthen party.

Reforming Backwards.

The glorious doctrine Of civil service re-
form is making progress backwards among
the Ohio Democrats. Even the guards and
worbmen of the state penitentiary, who re-
ceive less than $500 a year, have been as
sessed $l5 each for campaign expenses, and
they are told either to pay or resign. And
yet the Democratic platform declares that q
public Office is not TO be used for partisan

As the author states, this is a collection OF
verses illustrating some notable events in
the history Of the United States OF America
from the colonial period to the outbreak
Of the sectional war. During the last
twenty-five years Prof. English's work in
verse has been mainly confined to illus
trating the history of the United States.
Tie verses Of "BGttle Lyrics" are "metrical
purrativesh rather than poems, In which
form they more readily Impress on the
youthful mind II sense Of the patriotism and
courage of our forefathcrs. The story of
each event being told in the first person, the
style and language are Intentionally marked
by the peculiarities of the imaginary mar
rator. Owing to the ncarness Of the con-
flitt, the battles Of the late war have been
avoided.

tion early this foll, new work entitled

In Education in ills Relation 10 Manual
Industry" by Arthur Macarthur, we have
II practical and valuable treaties, in seven
teen chapters, covering all phases OF the
trades and arts destined 10 become the
business of life for the young. The indus.
trial schools of Europe and the United
States furnish many details in elucidaiion
Of the subject, and the inquiring mind is
gratiied at finding how easily technical
instruction has teen demonstrated as pos
sibe in the curriculum OF not only special
semniaries but in The ordinary everyday
schools. The question is brosd one, and
is rendered ienfoli more imortant from
the fact that aPprenliceships are fading
away, and the community must rely on the
practice and principles OF mechanics and
the arts IN the public schools il we ale 10
have any educated workers in the future.

how IT WAS DONE.
General Grant was Placed Upon the
Retired List at the Sacrifice or q
Republican Congressman.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March g. In the
confusion of the inaugural day and Of the
close OF Congress the fact ought not 10 be
forgotten that the Dem ocrais did not con-
sent TO pass the bill 10 place Gen. GRAM
upon The retired li1 until they were in
effect bribed TO do II. The contested case
of Fredericks against Wilson, Of Iowa,
blocked the way. The Democrats were
determined that 1t should lie brought up,
the Republicans were equally determined
that IT should not be. The case stood for
two days as the club by which all other
legislation was TO be prevented except the
appropriation bills. The leaders of both
parties were content with that pituation,
but under these circumstances IL was i'm.
possible also to pass The Grant bill. The
Democrats were obstinate. They would
yield nothing. The Republicans did not
wish 10 have Wilson sacrifice his seat.
Finally what was practically the direct
propo.iiion came from the Democrats.
They cared nothing for the Grant bill ;
they cared great deal for the interests ol
the president claimant, Fredericks So
The Republicans decided that il Mr.. VIII.
son was willing TO come to the rescue OF
General Grant and TO pernit the Demo-
Gratis To declare Fredericks entitled to the
! seat and TO receive compensation OF
$40 600 for two years service, none OF
which he performed, they would consent.
Mr.. Wil.on regrelfuly, on account OF his
own pride and sense Of justice, but gladly
for the sake of Gen. Grant, consented TO
the sacrifice. So it happened that the
Grant bill passed the House. Gen. Grant
has been placed upon the retired list only
because Mr.. Wilson has made great per
sonal sacrifice. Even then the Democrats
hoped TO keep The bill back so long that II
would be impossible Tor Arthur to make
the nomination, but in this they were un-
successful.

Judge Cooley, OF The supreme court o!

throughout the country Ms any judge OF The
supreme court of the United States. His
works are authority in the courts every
where, aud his great abilities are as widely
admitted. Now, at the zenith Of his repu
lation, and on the eve OF Judicial election
in that state, he is confronted with his
own record as the strongest reason why he
should not be reelected. This seeming
paradox is explained by the rev. lalion
that five.sixths of all the decisions he has
made or written in corporation cases IN the
past FIVE years have been in favor OF the
corporations and against individuals seek
ing redress for injuries to person or prop
erty !; that lie draws more pay IA arbitrator

ploy of railroad corporations. In the face
