THE Proh;btionists of Ohio are very indignant
because a beer saloon has been set up in the Sol.
diers' Home, at Dayton, for the benefit of the
veterans. And yet, according to Dr. Leonard's
own confession, the Ohio Prohibitionists would
have had to select another candidate for Gov.
ernor last fall had it not been for the medicinal
qualities found in ale and toast Chicago Inter
Ocean.
Mr. MURPHY, private individual. in a pri-
vate way has accomplished more for the cause
of true temperance than the entire prohibition
party of Ohio The thought of Murphy and hia
great work is, when viewed in this light, sufi.
cient justification for politician with incidental
prohibition, like Leonard and his colleagues, to
grow alternately black with anger and pale with
envy. Hence Leonards abuse of Murphy.-AF

MR. EDMUNDs makes the remarkable asser-
tion that in all his twenty years experience in
the Senate there has not been such large
number of bad appointments before the Senate
for confirmation as there has been during the
last year" This is most remarkable accuse
ton TO bring against a reform administration.
But the Senator afirms that it is true and he
refers to the foreign appointments of the Stats
Department as the most conspicuous targets for
legitimate criticsm.-New York World

eral iudges and juries, and that in spite of
threats that the boycott would be used against
them. There is but one effectual method Of
dealing with this CRIME, and that is to crush It.
and ali honor is due to the judges and juries
which have dealt so fearlessly with it. Their
decisions will prove a blessing to the whole
country, and will help to suppress the evil which

IT seems to us that if Rasures was Mexican
citizen, and, after committing crimes, had fed
across the Rio GEande, the Texas authorities
were quite right to surrender him. The Mex
leans did the same last year in the case OF
Aufdemorte, the defaulting officer of the New
Orleans Su6-treasury, and we accepted it as
only fair. Surely there is no intelligent and re-
spectacle public opinion in this country calling
upon the government to play the bully aud the
rufian toward Mexico. New York Star.
LABOR has nothing to fear in this country il
it will act wisely. 1t has certain yet unrecog-
nized rights which it may easily get possession
OF when 1t Is prepared to make the demand
properly. But 1t must not ask the people to take
part with it against the unfortunate class who
ready and willing to work. and who have the
greater need because of enforced idleness The
people do not believe in the doctrine that man
may strike and yet maintain s'his place" against
all corners willing to work. Central Advocate
If Mr.. Cleveland dreams of new Democratic
party which shall leave the old tried paths Of
Democratic truth for wanderngs id strange
ways and with blind guides, so much the worse
for Mr. Cleveland; but it is probable that he has
other things to think of. AT any rate, the old
Democracy will keep on in the Old way too
great to be dependent on any mans political
yagaries or fortunes and strong enough to sur
vive its worst mistakes and disasters so long as
it is not false to the immortal principles by
which it exists There is no demand and no oc-
casion for any new Democracy.-New York
