Partisan organization right upon the
heels of the session of the uon- partisan
Alliance. Its sole result can only be
to retard and injure the cause its prof.
eCtors profess to desire to advance.
We believe sincerely with one OF our
exchanges that in hosting the standard
Of Il third party solely to advance the
cause of prohibition, the advocates of
that cause practically serve notice upon
both political parties that all alliances
are At an end and that hereafter nc
tavors are to be given or received. Ad-
hitting that prohibition may eventually
triumph, It's most Sanguine friends can
not but see that such victory is, in
the very nature of things, necessarily
remote. Was it wisdom, therefore, to
imperil the advance of the cause of
temperance by alternating the sympathy
OF Republicans and Democrats alike,
long before the Prohibition party can
hope to be powerful enough to mater
tally effect legislation.
Had the friends of prohibition been
content to let the question stand as
moral issue, the espousal of which was
consistent with any political creed, they
might in the future, as in the past, have
looked to both parties for aid and sub
stantial advancement of the good cause.
As it is they can look to neither.
In common with the best friends of
temperance throughout the state, we
regret this lily considered action of Mr..
Daniel and his supporters, since we be-
lieye its only result will be to undo
what has already been done in behalf
of a needed social reform.

GENERAL GRANTS BIRTHDAY.
General Observance of the Anniversary
"A Bulletin From the Invalid.

A General Observance of the Anniversary
"A Bulletin From the Invalid.
General Grant was G3 years old on
Monday last and many buildings were
decorated with flags and bunting in
honor of the event. General Grant went
out in the morning for IA drive with mem
bers of the family, and later in the day
he went out for stroll with Col. Grant.
His condition was described by his doc
tors as highly satisfactory. Birthday
cards were sent by the basketful, of the
most expensive and costly finish, from
all over the United States, several of
which were most unique. General Grant
sent the following for publications:
To the various army Posts, societies,
cities public schools, States, corpora
tions and individuals North and South
who have been SO kind as to send me
congratulations on my siXty-third birth
day | wish to offer my grateful acknow-
Judgments. The dispatches have been
so numerous and So touching IN tone
that it would have been impossible to an
swer them if | had been in perfect
health.
Sidney B. Dillon sat and conversed
with the General in the drawing room
for nearly an hour. The house was bril-
liantly lighted up in the evenin: and
thousands of spectators passed through
the street and stopped to gaze for few

feature was the large proportion of
ladies. Large and magnificent presents
of flowers continued to pour in, while a
continuous stream of telegraph boys
were necessarily delivering messages.
Commemorative exercises were held in
Washington, Baltimore, indianapolis and
other cities throughout the country, re-
ports of which were received by tele-
graph. At Augusta, Ga, the Confed-
crate Memorial Day services were rem
dered notable by an address by Colonel
c. c. Jones, tine language of which was
adopted by the Confederate Survivors
Association and which concluded with
these words:
Remembering Genera! Grant now as
the generous victor, who at the ever
memorable meeting at Appomatto1 to
our immortal Lee and to the glorious
eight thousand veterans, the surviving
heroes of the Army of Northern Virginia
on the 9th day of April, 1885, conceded
liberal and magnanimous terms of sur
render. do we, standing by the graves of
our Confederate dead and mindful of the
memories which the observance of this
occasion is designed to perpetuate, re
spectfully tender to General Grant assur-
ances of our sincere and profound sym
pathy in this the season of his direful ex-
tremity.
At Springfield, ILL.,, the flag was raised
over the Capitol in honor of Gen. Grant,
and a message signed by Speaker Haines
was sent consratulating him upon the
anniversary and on the improved condi-
ton of his health.

Legislature might enact Prohibition. p"
and every liberal minded man, espec-
tally those engaged in the liquor traffic,
should lose no time in uniting to de
feat that party" This ought to be
pleasant reading for St. John and his
pseudo Temperance friends, now that
the Administration has rewarded Mr..
Mueller with a good office.

MUGwUMPERY does not seem to pay
very well. The New York Tines,
once leading Republican paper, took
the mugwump chute last fall. Result
it is now offered for sale. The Re-
publicans dropped it and took the 7ri-
bune instead, and that paper made a
heavy gain, both in circulation and in
huence, which it has retained. Repub-
hcans would not support the Pharsaical
sheet and no more would the Demo-
Gratis. Where the latter read at all they
take their politics a, they do their
drinks-Bsurbon straight. They don't
like dishwater, either in drinking
glass or in newspaper. So the only
consolation lett the boiling newspaper
was a consciousness of their own firm
ness and an empty treasury. Toledo

We have always believed and be-
lieve now, that the organization OF a
third party by the Prohibltionists can
only result in Furnishing their friends
the Republicans, for the benefit of the
Democratic party. The Democrats
themselves recognize this service.
Jacob Mueller, president of the Ohio
Liquor Dealers Association, who was
recently appointed Consul-General at
Frankfort on the Main, seems to have
had a good deal in common with St.
John in the last campaign. One of the
circulars sent out by Mr.. Mueller, and
signed by him, stated: The only
safety against Prohibition lies in the
defeat of the Republican party" on

WHILE it was not reasonable to eX-
pect that the Administration would re-
tain very long in its service as pro-
nounced Republican, as Mr.. Craw-
ford, of this county, still it might have
done him the courtesy to have waited
until he had returned from his official
work abroad before removing him. AS
superintendent of foreign mails he was
universally recognized as an efficient
and attentive officer. He has returned
from the International Postal Congress
at Lisbon to find his place occupied by
Mr.. "Nick" Bell, Of St. Louis. The
latter's clam to this office rests en-
tirely upon his services as a political
worker in Democratic conventions, and
his friendship for Mr.. Villas. Mr.. Craw-
ford, on the other hand, was merely an
efficient and faithful old servant of the
Government.

The constantly ttred-out" feeling so often
experienced is the result of Impoverished
blood, and consequent enfeebled vitality
Ayers Sarsaparila feeds and enriches the
blood, increases the appetite, and promotes
digestion of the food, and the assimilation
of its strengthening qualities. The system
being thus lnvigorated, the feeling rapidly
changes to grateful sense of strength and

during the winter proves to have been
serious. In some quarters on account
of the recent advance IN prices a gen

is noticed, while in other localities the
farmers are said to generally prefer other

The editor of a Buffalo newspaper

answers were received, and the ten in

telescope, and photography. Twenty
one votes were in favor of the steam

IT is reported from Washington, that
the names of applicants for Office are
to be published as sort of a "black
list" What is there wrong in asking
an office? The disrepute attached to
the spoils system grows out of the fact
that competence and character are
overlooked in applicants and Offices
are bestowed solely as rewards for po-
litical service. The ambition upon the
part of competent man to fill a pub
lie Office is laudable enough. The in
diligence of the ambition is only dis
honorable when disreptuable means are

which have been drawn, although the
pensioners are dead. In some cases, the
Commissioner says, the persons in whose

been dead since 1871. He has also di-

of pensions to seven widows who remar-
ried in 1881, but who have continued to

IT is now pretty generally conceded that Don Cameron will be reelected to tue United States Senate from Penn sylvanis. The old gentleman, Simon, has taken the matter in hand, and it is said he can pull the ropes as well as ever, and that he has made the way easy for Don to be his own successor. We are glad to hear it. We have never been a Stalwsrt, but we are willing to permit Stalwsrtism if they stand by the regular ticket after it has been made, and this the Csmerons have always done. No man can truthfully say that Simon Cameron or Don ever deserted the ticket or failed to keep their word, no matter whether it was given to friend or foe. Don Cameron told Blaine that be would support him, and the result in Pennsylvania shows that there was no "pent up Utica" there, but a grand Re- publican victory such ss no other State in the Union gave.

HE telegraph informs us that Gen eral Grant has for the second time posi- lively refused to accept anything from hIs friends to relieve him from present financial difficulties. I. Vt uld seem too much like charity, and he will not ac- cept it. Now, with due respect to Gen. eral Grant, We cannot sse any reason or good sense in the position he has taken. He did accept all kinds of presents, in cluding fund of S25O,OOO, when he dii not need it, and when very many people thought he should have declined it. But now, when all the world knows that be is greatly in need of money, aud when there are thousands of people in the country who would be glad to con- tribute to his needs, it IS folly for him to refuse.
 The same dispatch also informs us that his refusal has greatly strengthened his chances for being put on the retired list, and that bill will probably be in- troduced at an early day retiring Gen. eral Grant and Fitz-John Porter. We should be very sorry to see such a bill introduced. We had much rather be one of a hundred thousand Republi- cans each to present General Grant with five dollars than to have him dis graced by being named in the same bill with Porter, whom we are firmly of the belief was B traitor, if there ever was me
