THE PanHilectrfc Scandal.

Mrs. Pryin: "Oh, Mrs. Duno,
when did you return from Wash
iagton? Nowsdo tell me all about
this dreadful scandal that poor,
dear Mr.. Garland has got himself
into. Isn't it stocking"
mo: it isn't a bit interesting.
All [ could learn was that Mr.. Gar.
land had bought telephone, or
something in pan, and that the

it,"
"Is that all-ne woman naked

Sumptuary Laws.

I don't know how to get rid of
these Protectionists; unless we eat
them.-H. W. Beecher.
All right, MIR. Beecner, the Dem
ocratic National Platform, which
you helped to elect in 1884, doesn't
object. 1t is opposed, you know,
to all sumptuary laws. So eat
what and whom you please. The
Democratic party, Mr.. Beecher and
the Fiji Islanders are solid on that

Ordinary and Extraordinary
Sense"
DR.. Leonard Discusses Gou. Forakeris
Inaugural "a

Inaugural. q
From an article in the Ne6 Era,
by DR.. A. B. Leonard, we clip the
following: An
"In his inaugural, Gov. Foraker,
with less frankness than his. pre-
decessor, recognizes this same
growing sentiment" He says:
During the recent canvass one of
the questions that largely engaged
the attention of the people was,
what should be done with respect
to the liquor traffic." Now, l am
glad to note the fact, although it
appears at SO late date, as the
day of his Inauguration, that our
Governor comedies that during the
"recent canvass one of the ques-
tions" of paramount Importance
was, "what should be Gone with
respect to the liquor traffic" AL
though it largely engaged the at
tention of the people" of Ohio, he
would not permit discussion of
the question before the people, to
engage has attention.
Again he says: "This question
is of the greatest Importance, but
it is 30 related to personal habits
and private morals as to render it
impossible to make it a political
question in the ordinary sense"
The Governor has probably spok-
en- more wisely than he knew.
Prohibitionists do not want to
make the whisky traffic "a politi.
cal question in the ordinary sense"
but in an extraordinary sense. In
the ordinary sense" it has been a
political question from the begin
ming of our history as State. 1t
was a political question in the COR
binary sense" with Gov. Foraker
in all his speeches during the re-
cent campaign. 1t was question
with which he trifed, and about
which he cracked jokes, but that
he would not seriously discuss be.
fore the people. 1t has been po-
litical Question in the Ordinary
sense" between the Democratic
and Republican partisans for many
weary years. They have used it as
football to be kicked back ward
and forward for political effect, and
personal promotion. The question
has never been seriously raised as
to what the State needs, in the
way of legislation, for the protec.
} ton of the people against the raw.
ages of the liquor traffic by these
politicians, but the question has
} been, How can we promote our own
selfish purposes? M
: Now as Prohibitionlsts we pro-
posa that this question, which our
, Governor says is of the greatest
: portanee" shall no longer be a
political question in the ordinary
sense" but in the extraordinary
sense. We propose that the ques
ton which is of the greatest i'm.
portance" shall have its rightful
place as political question. Il
Governor Foraker supposes that
the people of Ohio will be satisfied
with taxing law, as a final settle.
ment of this question of greatest
Importance" he is cherishing a de-
fusion which may prove fatal tc
his future political aspirations."
