publcans hope that. if the Prohibition
lists persist in their efforts, they wont do
more hurt than good.
As to the reasons which influence Re
publicans. generally, not to Join the Pro-
hbitionists we do not assume to speak,
but the majority of them hereabouts have
several good ones, as they think. They
believe that we have all the law required
the work of Republican Legislators
so that Prohibitionsts or others who
wish the rum traffic put down can bring
it about, if they will work to that end;
therefore there is no call for a party
to make more law. If the purpose
of the new party is only to enforce the
law, it is uncaled-for, as those who con-
sttute it could effect the enforcement of
the law Just as well in their capacity as
citizens. whether members of the Repub-
lican party or no party. Consequently
there is no apparent excuse for the for
nation of the new party. and hence Re
pubiCanS see no cause for deserving
party that has been in the forefront of
progress in this and in every other direc-
ton and joining one which has only one
purpose and that practically an accom-
plishcd fact
1t is also in order to suggest that the
spollesmen of the Prohibtory party will
need to adopt a more ,conciliatory tone
than that which has characterized their
speeches heretofore if they wish Repub-
licans to go in with tim. Wholesale de-
nuncaton of party is hardly calculated
to win recruits from that party.

SOME OF THE REASONS.

Eitor Regj$ter:-l notice by reading
the articles in your paper that the Re
publican party fear they will be defeated
by the Democratic party in the coming
election on account of the Prohibition
party having seeded from their ranks.
Now aS the PrOhihitionists can lily afford
to give up their party and principles.
firmly believing. as they do. that they
are laboring for the good of humanity. it
seems the wiseSt course for the Republ-
cans (not through fear of defeat. but
from higher motives to Join the PrOhib-
tioniStS. thus forming Il party who will
labor only for God and the right. But
the fear of the loss of wealth. or emolu-
mcnt or of losing their own, or taking
away others rights will doubtless deter
many from taking this step, hut all
should remember that in free America
we are only free to do right. Laboring
for their present instead of their future
good and that of their fellows, seems to
he one of the greatest mistakes of the
American people. The suppression of
alcoholic drinks as beverage would
soon accomplish greater good than can
easily be imagined, not only for the con-
sumers and their families, but for nearly
all classes in community. God speed

REFORM.
Cornwall, VT, July Is, 1856.
"Reform" must read not only between,
but through the lines to find, from any
thing said in these columns, that the Re
publicans fear defeat in the coming elec-
tion because of Prohibition activity. We
have discussed the Prohibition movement
only so far as it concerned Vermont. and
have expressed fear that the outcome
of the agitation might be the repeal of
the prohibitOry law. result that we
should deplore as deeply as the most
ardent PrOhibitionist could. Repub-
licanS look upon the Prohibition
tactics with a feeling somewhat akin to
that with which Sydney Smith took
leave IF his friend who went out as bis
hop of New Zealand, He wished moth
ing to befall him; "but il, he concluded,
''your purishioners do eat you, | hope
you will disa gree with them" So Re

AUGUST METEORS.

The best behaved of all the meteor
streams holds its anniversary on August
10, and the few days preceding and fol-
lowing. The Tears of st. Lawrence, ii
is called, because it makes its appearance
on the day sacred to the memory of that
august saint. We call this zone the best
behaved of the family, because the fiery
rain never fails to fall, and no one is dis
appointed who looks skyward when the
shower is due and the clouds are kind.
The tiny atoms of which it is composed
are sure to impinge against the earth's
atmosphere, burst into yellow stars, and
descend with trains of silvery light. The
August meteors consist of swarm of
particles following Comet IL, 1852, in its
orbit. The disintegrating process has
been carried on so long that the debris of
the comet are nearly evenly scattered
throughout the gigantic ellipse in which
they wander. One extremity of the zone
crosses the earth's orbit and the other
extends far beyond Neptune. The earth
encounters this meteor zone on the 10th

We had very easy journey to this

boat pretty well loaded with passengers
and freight. Our campers and fishers
left at Fort Cassin and Basin Harbor.
There was not much room for sitting
down comfortably, but ! got on some
bags and made tolerable seat. The
captain said it was unusual to have his
boat so well patronized. As we neared
Westport very heavy rain came on Us
from the west and drove me into the lit
tie cabin for shelter, but by the time
the dock was reached the rain was
over. got my dinner in WestpOrt and
was intending to drive over right away
after, but being the only passenger
waited until the afternoon boat got in.
We have a beautiful view of the Green
Mountains from Westport, but they were
unfortunately today quite ndistinct.

He Brought the Eagle Down.

When the sun rose one morning re.
Gently it shone upon the gilt plumage
of spread-eagle that was affixed to a
tall, slender staff ut the corner of the
high roof over the building at 239
Broadway, corner of Park place. When
the sun went down in rain in the after
noon the eagle was no longer there. 1t
had been taken down to be regilded and
made more perfect golden eagle than
it was before.
The man who took it from its exalted
position had hard struggle with it,
and at times it seemed as though the
eagle would triumph over him. He had
Skinned up the pole with ordinary climb
ing irons, and the observant crowd in
the City Hall park were divided in. opin.
ion as to whether he would ultimately
fall into Broadway or Park place. The
staff bent like coach whip, and it was
SO close to the edge of the roof that he
would certainly have cleared the tiles in
his descent. Nobody in the building
knew who he was, so n reporter went
out upon the roof to ascertain his name.
But the man was still far above him,
and the staff evidently was not strong
enough to hold two. To all inquiries
as to his identity he merely replied that
he was working rs fast as he could and
didn't want to be hurried. He at last
lowered the eagle to the roof, came
down safely after 1t, and the crowd
drew deep breaths of relief-or disap-
pointment.-M y: Sun.

One Of the most scandalous "ger-
rymanders" ever made in the interest
of dishonest partisanship was perpe-
,trated in Ohio in 1882 when the
Democrats redivided the State into
congressional districts. The lines of
division were most unnatural, and
counties that barely touched at the
corners were joined together. The
Republicans, being in control of
both houses of the Legislature, have
restored the districts as they were
before 1882. This is only doing sub
stantial justice to many interests in
the State. 1t will insure the return
to congress of delegation which
adequately represents the wishes OF
Ohio veters.

ming, has rendered his resignation,
but Cleveland instead of accepting it
gave the Secretary leave of absence
until October in the hope that his
health by that time might be fully re-
stored and that his resignation may
be Withdrawn. That this may be so
is the general wish of the people who
regard Mr.. Manning as very eff
cent officer, and as man sound on
financial questions. Not so with At
torney General Garland, of Pan
Electric notoriety. The people would
be more than happy to learn that he
