Mrs. Wister is one Of the best translat-

this translation she has caught tho spirit
of the author, which is material addi-

whereupon dark clouds appear, which

1871, when Tweed required a single vote to
make up constitutional majority for his THEY
ing bills. it fell to the lot of Mr.. Hill, as mem
Der of the Committee OH Privileges and Elec-
tions, to turn out Il Republican and seat
Tweed Democrat in order to get the necessary
vote for his partner. Hill was equal to the
emergency lie found NewYOrk member,
opposed to Tweed who had run ahead of his
ticket in one election district Mr.. Hill thought
that sufficient excuse to dsfranchise the dis
trict and turn out Republican to let in Carey,
another of Tweed's pals. Here is Mr. liills re-
port on that occasion:
The official canvass shows thai this strict gave q
majority Of twenty for the Democratic candidate Tor
Governor while Mr. TwOmhy claims to have carried u
by twenty majority difference Of forty -four votes
while he did not show why hn 30 far ahead OF the
Republcan candidate for Governor.
On this grOund-that the Republican candl-
date ought not to have run ahead of his ticket
his seat was given to the notorious Carey, whose
vote added to those Of Hill and his associates en-
abled Tweed to steal millions of dollars from
the city treasury.
Why does not The WorH apply the logic of
the Carey report, and of Tweed's reelection
by II, ,779 majority, to Mr.. Hills case, and give

PlSTOR AND CINDIDA7E.

In n monograph of admirable cleaTncSs ana
cogency, which is published by the National
League mon partisan and non scctarian) for
the Suppression of the Liquor Traffic, the Rev.
Dr. Henry Graham, of Troy, removes the last
moral aud reasonable prop of the Prohibition
party. DR.. Graham is a lifelong Prohibi-
ZIONIST, and his unwavcring conviction Is that
the cause of prohibition is not promoted by a
political party run in its behalf. These are the
reasons for his conviction:
In the present state of human society polit-
ical party founded on one or more moral issues
is not likely to be successful.
A Prohibition party divides the friends of
Prohibition and alIenates a large part of them.
The people cannot be induced to narrow
down to this one issue and tie themselves to
party that is voiceless on every other question.
The advocates of rum favor Prohibition
party.
The spirit manifested by many of the
advocates of this party is proof of the un-
wisdom of the movement.
The Prohibition party has not helped the
cause of Prohibition.
A vast majority of the ProhibitiOnists of the
country do not want Prohibition party.
Dr.. Graham asserts that small as the Frohi
bition vote was at last years election, an
analysis of it will still further discount its
value. Thus, n large class was misled by what
it mistakenly fancied to be an analogy between
the Prohibition party and the Abolition move
mcnt; another class voted the Prohibition
ticket from a high sense of duty, regardless OF
consequences; another large class voted the Pro-
hibition ticket to punish the Republican party
Others voted simply to swell the Prohibition
vote, 50 as to show the strength of Prohibition
sentiment, never dreaming that the Republican
party would be defeated in consequence;
others voted the Prohibition ticket in order to
destroy the Republican party, so that Demo
cratic success might bring free rum and open
peoples eyes to the horror of it 4; and others
still because they did not like the candidates of
the other parties.
DR.. Graham employs in the discussion of
these propositions breadth of knowledge, a
variety of illustration and precision of state
ment which p.ake the treatise remarkable
among politico-mOral documents.
Dr. Graham is the pastor of II. Clay Bascom,
now running for Governor in this state Oh the
Prohibition ticket.
