In an article in the July North
american, Gail Hamilton pours out
the walls of her wrath on Governor
St. John and the Prohibition party.
Her text is that "the danger to tenn
perance to day is in the prohibition
party". This is incontrovertably true,
if we consider the evil that is done
bv the effort to enforce this extreme
policy on the country, removing all
restraints on the liquor traffic, inter-
fering with legitimate manufacture,
checking the consumption Of beer
and light wines, and hindering the
spread of true, moral, temperance
principles among the people.
If Gail Hamilton attacked prohibi-
tionists we could sympathize with her,
but she draws q wide distinction be-
tween prOhibitionists and the party
OF prohibition. "The wise women
and the honorable men who compose
the great army ofprohibitionists she
claims, are staunch to the other princi-
pies of the Republican party, but the
Prohibition party to whom she attrib-
utes the defeat of Mr.. Blaine, she de-
mounces as "the folly ola few foolish
women and a few bad men," As longas
prohibitionists carry out the other
principles of the Republican party
they are wise and honorable, when
disguised with its duplicity and
trucking to the liquor interest, they
attempt to carry out their own prin-
ciples they are fools.
What right has the Republican
party to claim to be the party often
perance? They have advocated tenn
perance principles whenever they
thought it would lead to political sue
cess, and they have coquetted with
the liquor interest whenever they
thought they could do so safely.
Democratic Georgia is doing as much
to restrain the liquor traffic, as Re-
publican Massachusetts,. In our own
State they have never hesitated to
furnish liquor to their ignorant col
ored voters, until the negroes them
selves we're Disguised.
Gail Hamilton's article gives a
cheering account of high license. In
Detroit the tax law closed up 500 sa-
looms. Under high license in Min
nesota the 557 saloons ola single city,
were reduced in one year to PA.
The old cheap license system of the
city of Chicago yielded a revenue OF
S40O, 600 per annum, under the new
system it is 81 100000. But that is
not the reason we support high Ii
cense; the one objection to it is the
partnership involved between the
town or city, and the rumseller; it is
the decrease in the number ofthe sa-
looms, the increased decency of the
traffic, and the putting the inevitable
cost Of the business on the rum-seller
and the rum-drinker that constitutes
the benefit of high license. The ques-
ton would then be taken out of pol
itics where it never will be fairly
treated; for if lady, like Gail Ham
iIton, is so strongly partizan that she
cannot treat the question with can
dor and fairness, what may we ex-
pect from the rank and file of the
party? All that the advocates OF
high license ask is to have the sys-
TEN tried, no community having once
experienced its benefits will go
hack to the Ola plan.

THE Trustees of Delaware College
have abolished co-educatiOn, so the
bows will no longer be leased by hav-
ing young ladies carry off the prizes.
WHY the State should provide higher
education for boys and not for girls,
is a conundrum. Are educated boys
worth more to the State, or are they
more helpless, and have to be pro
vided for; or do not their parents
think enough of them to educate
them? We would like to have some
reason for Delaware going backward
when neighboring States are vieing
with each other in furnishing educa
tional facilities to their future wives
and mothers.
