ton With himself, and was formerly mem
Der of the church over which Dr. Leonard
was pastor. 1t was during this intimate rela-
tionship that he called in his own physician
to prescribe for the minister, and when ale
was prescribed he kindly voluteered to sstain
supply for him, which he did. All these
facts are now supported by an affidavit, and
a serious issue is raised between members Of
the same church.
This is one Of the unfortunate results of the
preacher in party politics. But DR.. Leonard and
his hot-headed followers are guilty of worse
than that. A falsehood uttered in self-defense
and in moment Of heat is not near so grave
matter as ungracious and persistent opposi-
ton to the best interests Of society. The po-
litical prohibitionists of Ohio whether they
all realize it or not, are in league with the
Democratic party Of that State, which, as
is we'll known, is unalterably OPP
posed, not only to prohibition, but to
any and all laws looking to the restriction Of
the liquor traffic, and for the encouragement
Of temperance among men. It is a reflection
upon DR.. Leonard's intelligence to say that he
does not know this. The Republican party
has given Ohio the only temperance laws the
State had. The Democratic party tore them
to pieces, and in obedience to the behest of
hn Ennnn
Court pronounced the latest enactments un-
constitutional. Such is the record. The
candidacy Of Dr. Leonard attempts to align
the church on the side Of the brewerios
and bummers, the saloons and shoulder-hit-
ters. OF course the church, as a body, does
not follow him into this ungrateful betrayal of
the friends Of Temperance. But the Demo
cratic party is giving the movement every aid
and encouragement, and behind it the saloons
are doing the same, in the confident hope that
enough temperance votes may be stolen from
the Republican party to give the victory to
the liquor interests. The nomination of a
Prohibition ticket in Ohio this year
is an anachronsm, an exhibition of
ingratitude and absolute immortality with
out parallel. AS it stands, Ohio
hasn't even temperance legislation. The at
tempt to secure prohibition will simply per-
petuate this state OF affairs. Realizing this,
the saloonists ask no better friends than DR..
Leonard and his ill-advised followers; and
hence it is that the Democratic party, the adj
vocate and champion Of the saloons has
nothing but encouragement for the political
prohibition craze. Few intelligent men but
understand the significance of such praise

WHEN Colonel Snowden, superintendent of
the Philadelphia mint, was removed a few
weeks, since to make room for Democrat, it
was announced that his successor, Mr. Fox
had never been an active politician nor an Of
ensive partisan. For man who had everything
in this line to learn Mr.. Fox has shown re-
marka6ls ease and facility in becoming a
shrewd and accomplished worker" if we may
judge from the joy expressed by one of
these same administration papers over
some changes made in the mint
''Thirty solid men, all working Democrats, "
were substituted in one day. We are told, for
as many old employees. some of whom were
women. TWENTY-FIVE wards given appoint
ments, with nine wards left to be given their
share in the next batch" shows that the mex
perienced official has at least learned where to
put men so they will do the most good. The
farther announcement that the good work of
turning out Republicans is expected to pro-
coed rapidly until there is not one left in the
mint indicates that Mr.. Fox is a reformer
after the true party pattern. Mr. Fox's was
purely civil-service reform appointment.

ONE of the best commentaries upon human
charity and love for the unfortunate is the
New York Tribunes freshair fund, by which
so many poor children have been enabled to
visit the country for two weeks during the
summer. The total contributions to the en-
terprise this year already exceed $4,000, and
thousands of poverty-stricken boys and girls
have thereby been made glad and given a
new lease of life. 1t is noble undertaking,
and has been most nobly sustained.

WHEN the members Of the Civil service
Commission, or the President himself, initiate
a war with Mr.. Hendricks by the removal of
Postmaster Jones, no one will be quicker to
give the proper credit than the Journal. But,
in the meantime, we must be excused from
holding any opinion of the civil-service board
other than that they think more of their places
than they do of the law; and of Mr.. Cleveland
that he is, and always has been, necessarily
full of duplicity about the whole civil-service
reform matter.
