New Failure of Prohibition.

Neal Dow, who has been the most per-
sistent advocate of prohibition known, even
in Maine, the home of this idea, has become
aroused at last. He declares that the poll
ticians and the liquor sellers are in league
Ia maintain this traffic and expresses himself
with great positiveness of the necessity for
defeating the Republican party if the prohi.
btion idea is 10 be maintained in that State.
At the last election the people of Maine
adopted, by large majority, a constitutional
amendment forever prohibiting the manu-.
facture or sale of any kind of liquor in their
State. 1t became practically party issue,
the Republicans generally voting for it and
the Democrats against II. When the Legis-
lature met II refused to pass any laws to give
effect to the amendment and, as conse
quenco, the last state of the people of Name
is worse than the first. Mr.. Dow, with all
his faults has been really in earnest, and as
he finds that his political friends are no. he
simply disowns them.
But If Mr.. Dow had looked about him he
would have discovered long ago that this
was the most natural thing in the world
Whenever the temperance question has been
taken into politics it has been used by de
signing men, who saw in it something to
advance their own fortunes. They have al
ways been ready to use and swift To he
tray IT,
But rs the people of Maine were not con

Constitution they may now contemplate
with what equanimity they can the specis-
Gle Of provision in the fundamental law
without the penalties and other legislation
necessary 10 make il effective. And this
means that, 10 all intents and purposes, they
are TO have free sale of liquors until they
vote out their amendment and assume the
control of this traffic. Philadelphia Times.

ARRESI OF COOPER.

In our local columns will be found an ac-
count of the outrage committed on Miss
Kate Gray, of Baltimore county, by the
negro, Howard Cooper.
1t will be seen that the criminal beast
managed TO escape the wrath Of the com
munity which he had by his hellish pur-
poses so violently insulted, but was quietly
captured and turned over 10 the authorities.
The fact that the armed crowd of indignant
men did not capture him and become his
Jury and executioners is to be regretted
The crime which Cooper committed, or
even attempted TO commit, upon that vir-
tuous and unprotected female brands him
as brute and an enemy TO society, and be
should have been hunted and shot down as
q rabid dog. 1t is the only way in which
such crimes should be punished in order TO
deter Others from like preparation. Ven.
geance in such cases should be as hot and
Kissing az were helpless the screams Of his
unfortunate victim. The redress afforded
by the law is too slow and uncertain. The
rasping, narrowing ordeal which the poor
girl underwent whilst in the villains arms,
TO be given in searching detail, is a tragedy
abhorrent TO the public taste, as IL is excru-
tiating to her natural sensibilities. The
tedious and almost exhaustive accounts fur
nished the morning press andNlrivcn like
snow flakes into every community, is a
character Of literature which tends TO de.
base and ehslavc rather than elevate and
refine the human passions--which invites
rather than deters the commission of such
hideous crimes.
The terrific nature of such shocking
and revolving act as that of Cooper knocks
at the hallowed and sacred entrance OF every
mans home, and tells him that there is
demon loose upon society that may sooa
effect wrong upon some member of his
family so cruel and heart.rending in iia
character that no time can palliate, M legal

the bond calls will not be so frequent as

1t is matter worthy Of notice that dur.

greater volume than it did during the TALL

THE KEsTERlN ELECTIONS.

Elections were held on Tuesday last in
the States Of Ohio, Michigan, Missouri, Wis
consin and Illinois. In Michigan and Wis
consin, which are decided Republican States,
the Democrats have been successful. In
Chicago, which is Republican by some If
teen thousand, Garter Harrison has been
reelected Mayor the third time. In Mis-
souri, the Democrats carry St. Louis NUM-
cipal elections. The Republicans seem to
gather some little consolation at the fact
that the cities Of Cleveland, Cincinnati and
Columbus have given Republican majorities.
When we come TO consider that these cities
have never been stcadfsst in their devotion
to the Democratic party, and always more
or less governed and controlled by local
questions, it can be safely inferred that
there is nothing significant in the recent

ton Of James b. Corcoran, who was nomi-
mated to be postmaster at Rome, New York,
and on Monday the President suspended
the present incumbent and designated Mr..

was based upon report made by poslofiice
inspector that great confusion existed in the
money order division of the office and do.

claimed that his assistant had entire charge

no more business to bring before the body.
A discussion arose over the nomination of
Alexander r. Lawton as Minister to Russia,

nomination before action was taken.

NOT SHOWN ANY PREFERENCE.

Thus far, 1t is easy to perceive that there
IS but little inclination on the part Of the
administration to give any preference to the
large per centage Of the Democratic ex-
members of the forty eight. Congress, who
are now anxious to attain official recogni-
ton in the way of a nice, soft Office. Indeed
there seems to be decided disposition TO
treat rather lightly the great number who
have the right to prefix "Hon." to their
names. They are elbowed aside as uncere-
moniously as if their voices had never been
heard in the halls of our national assem- bly,.
The truth Is that Congressman and ex-
Congressman are now 80 common that they
have ceased TO inspire awe or excite admi-
ration. 1t is also true that there are some
congressman who do attract attention wher-
ever they may go, but they have won their
hold upon popular estimation by reason of
their commanding talents and untiring in.
dustry. They are generally of that charac.
ter OF men who enjoy the same share of
public praise in private or professional
life.
We have observed that men Of medium
talent and requirements, if they have not
Inherited fortune or made one, do not care
to venture on the great melstrom of con-
gressional lfe They realize that tho chances
of reelection are doubtful, and that at the
end of their term they would be without an
occupation, and consequently have to begin,
as 1t were, life anew. Many, as in the case
OF the crowd now besieging the Executive
Mansion and the several Departments, have
to join the vast crowd of office seekers. 1t
is too often the case that, pending their Con-
gressional term, habits are formed that unfit
them for the practical routine of daily life,
and they eventually become but the drift
wood Of tho political current.
The distinction Of having been Con-
gresham does not stick TO man long I'M
less he has won distinction whilst men,
Der, and even those who have made name
are soon forgotten The press occasionally
gives graveyard notice, that is all
II is not surprising, therefore, to find tn at,
with but one or two exceptions, the large
number Of ex-Congressmen who are at pres
ent seeking official recognition have not met
with any success in Washington. They
have been retired at home, and doubtless
the administration has reached the conclu-
sion that their constituents knew best that
home was the best place for them.

''SIGNs OF THE TIMEs"-The Rt. Rev.
Bishop Samuel Fallows, preaching in the
St. Paul Reformed Episcopal Church, in
Chicago, Sunday night, upon the 'Signs of
the Times" made some unusual statements.
He said it was remarkable fact that the
great mass of intelligent, far-seeing business
men, politicians and worldly.wise people
generally could not or would not read the
signs Of the times in their bearing upon
that far more important matter-the second
coming of Christ. A great many of the i'm
portant events which have happened in
modern times were foretold, the speaker
thought, centuries ago, and were foreseen
then by students of the signs of the times.
He believed the events of to-day were as
pregnant of indications as those of 1900
years ago. The present condition of Egypt
was to the preacher sign and an evidence
of the coming fulGllmeut of the prophecy
that Egypt would be ruled by the Jews
He considered the domination of England
equivalent to that, as it would be q control
in the interests of the Jewish bondholders.
Earthquakes, pestilence and famines were
prophesied as signs to be seen before the
advent of Christ. The earthquakes in
Italy, the approaching cholera pestilence
and the famines which have prevailed in
Asia were the signs to meet these prophe-
sizes. 1t had been prophesied that iniquity
would abound, and the Bishop thought the
full measure of this prophesy had been
fulfilled.
