The Political situation With Respect
20 Temperance.

In another column wo copy tn
ticket recently nominated by thu
Prohibition Convention ut Dallas
with some comments. We have moi
heretofore had occasion 10 speak o
said convention and its work, W.
will now say that, while in this par
Of tho State We think the best, and
in fact, the only practical means Of
forwarding the temperance cause il
through local option, it ia quite differ
ent in tho northern and central divis
ions Of tho State, and we have nc
disposition TO condemn tho movers in
the prohibition convention. we
have the utmost confidence in thor
honesty Of purpose, and concede to
them tho fullest liberty OF action in
tho premises. 70 thoir own Master
thoy stand or fall. That the PrOhi.
bition question, as also the Labor
question, is bound to go into poll
tics for decision, we have no donbt.
The ballot-box is tho natural and
democratic mode Of settling oil such
issues in this country. The Prohibi-
tionists at Dallas therefore only mado
the first step towards tho final inevi-
table result.
Furthermore, wo have to say that
they were justifablo in large meas
ure, if not altogether, in the course
thoy have adopted. Had the Calves
ton convention done it's plan and sim
plo duty in authorizing vote of the
people for the settlement of the
question there would have been no
third party movement this year.
That was all that tho most ultra and
prohibitionists, such
rs DR.. Cran6ll, asked of them. 1t
was ignored by the convention, and
30 il is really responsible for this in
prohibition movement,
For the request was most surely q
ono, in full harmony with
al the canons of Democracy. Its
refusal was absolutely inexcusable
On principle, as well as exceedingly
FOOLISH as q matter Of policy. For
The submission of this question to
ihe people OF Texss is bound ere
ong to come. Every refusal oft will
only add momentum to it till the re-
luest shall be granted. A compli-
.nce with it now, as we have said,
would have prevented this indepen-
lent prohibition movement this year,
md it is only by needing the signs OF
lie times. and making adequate con-
SESSIONS to the spread of prohibition
that the continued growth
md ultimate triumph of that move
nent can be prevented. Old party
managers would do well to heed and
ponder these trnths.

The InsIifntiOn for the Blind.

We have received from Mr.. f. d. Morrison,
Superint endent, the 23d report of the directors
of the Maryland Institution for the Blind. This
useful institution last year gave instruction TO
70 pupils, who are not only educated in the
branches usually taught in schools for the see
ing, but are also taught some trade at which
they can work. OF course the occupations in
which these unfortunates can engage are COM
paratively few in number, The principal one be-
ing piano-tuning, at which numbers of blind
persons are successfully employed. They are
also taught to make brooms, mattresses, chairs,
&c. Blind persons between the ages of Q and Is
years are admitted upon the payment Of $500 a
year, and if the parents or friends are not able
to pay this amount, the applicant will be edu-
Gated at the expense of the State. Mr.. F. ID.
Morrison, who is n native OF Hartford county,
has been the Superintendent for many years. and
will furnish any information. There are, at
present, no pupils at the institution from this
county.

Conductors Burke, johnson and Warner have
been connected with the road, in one capacity

by their uniformly good conduct, polite ant
careful attention to the wants and comforts O
their passengers, have won for themselves host
offriends and the concentrations of all. The
same may be said of many other employees who
have been faithful to the trusts reposed in them
and their retentio n will no doubt be gratifying
to the patrons of the road generally.

The Moses Sheppard Asylum seems to be In
a queer financial position. According to state
ment in Mayor Hodges message the buildings
cost about 800, 600, while the income of the
trust is only $40, 900 year. 1t would, therefore,
appear that the institution has been planned on
"a scale too costly and elaborate for the endow.
ment to maintain. 1t looks as if the asylum
will continue to be in the future as it has been
for so many years in the past "a great big
house and nobody living in it," The best way
to utilize the trust would probably be to turn
it over to the city or State.

DULL DAYS IN CONGnEss.

Congress is dull, and it appears to be
getting more so every day as the session
progresses. The weather has been warm
for the past few days-Summer swoops
down upon Washington always like fury
and at the Capitol the droning goes on
through the long Spring days. Most of
the work for Senator or Representative
is done in his committee.room, and they
all have a certain look of the Idle APP
prentice like that in Hogarth's picture.
Particularly is this the case when a party
debate like the tariff or an old story like
the coinage of silver comes up. The Re.
publicans sit around in the cloak rooms,
laugh, quaf and chat, while the Demo-
cratic members are delivering appeals to
long rows of empty chairs. The empty
chairs, however, make very little differ.
ence, as the speech is for Buncombe
county solely. Then when the Repub-
licans come to take their turn at the
crank the Democrats vanish in a body,
and can be found anywhere except in
their seats; and SO it goes on; and as the
days become longer and hotter the able
and energetic Representative gets earlier
to his committee room, works harder, |
and when he has got through with his
real business ~saunters over to the House
to loaf, gossip and take a rest from the
affairs of State. Old stagers who know
say this won't be a very prolonged SEES.

by the Fourth of July.

The Rev. E. D. Jones, an alleged mis-
sionary, who, it is said, has spent ten
years in China, tells a New York audi.
ence that the Chinese in this country
have been corrupted by American man
ners," and that they were much better
off, morally, in China. Therefore, as a
means of shielding the pious Mongolians
from further contamination, the reverend
gentleman favors increased restriction OF
Chinese immigration. To the people Of
the Pacific Coast this seems like a joke.
The Chinese bring with them to this
country the most loathsome vices, and
have been the means of spreading opium
smoking throughout the United States.
The Asiatics here have no bad habits &C.
quired since their arrival, but Chinese
immigration is certainly responsible for
much crime and degradation among the
American population.
