RQGUS PROHIRITIONISTS.

The people who have complained that MIR.
Blaine was too reserved in his remarks about
prohibition are either insincerc or Incapable of
understanding plain speech. The latest speech
bv him is called An Attack on Prohibtionlsts y
"A lying title which is vainly used to hide the
fact that Mr. Blaine demonstrated in the clearcst
manner, that assistant Democrats of Maine were
not Prohbitionists at heart, nor did they seek
to promote the cause of prohibition. lie showed
that the Republican party Of Maine was in favor
OF prohibition, while the Republican party of
the Nation was not committed to that mode of
dealing with the evils Of intempcrance; that
the acts of the Republican party of Maine gave
it that character; that at the desire of temper
ancc rcformers it had made many changes.
nearly a change every year for many years, In
order to render prohibitory legislation moro
effective that the only reasonable object and
only possible effect Of the separate Prohibition
ticket, now put up in Maine, was TO elect Dem
ocrats, who had ever been hostile to temperance
legislation In all forms. The persons whose
real purpose Is to help the Democratic foes
Of prohibition Mr. Blaine assailcd, as is his
wont, without hesitation.
This is what organs of the grog shop Dcmoc-
racy call "assailing the Prohibtionists" A
poor opinion these organs must have Of the
intelligence Of sincere advocates of prohibition,
if they fancy that such an audacous msrepre-
scntation can deceive. Some men there may DC
so ignorant, or so blinded by the prejudice
which often robs sincere men OF all power to
do good, that they cannot realize the fai ihlcss-
ness of the pretended Prohibtionists Of Maine
to the cause Of prohibition, even in the light
Of Mr.. Blaine's clear exposition. But the great
majority of sincere Prohibitionists throughout
the country see that Mr.. Blaine is right, and
that those persons cannot be called Prohibition
lists, but are in fact the worst enemies of that
cause, who labor TO turn over the power Of
State and National Government to the Demo-
cratic party.
New-York tribune., 1886-08-27
THE CANAL CONFERENCE.

A wear ago those interested in the mainten-
ance and improvement of our great canal sys-
tenn held conference at Utica. Horato Sey-
mour presided-it was his last public service
and there was large attendance Of repre-
sentative business men from all sections of the
State. The conference adopted a series OF reso-
lutions committing it to the free canal pohcy
and to the proposition looking to The lengl
ing the locks and deepening the channel OF .ne
Erie andother canals. In addition. 1t demandeo
that the tax laws should be so amended as TO put
personal propertv and real estate on an equality,
that determinations by railroads against canal
shippers should be forbidden. and that terminal
elevator charges should be regulated by law.
A strenuous effort was made to induce the con-
ference to declare in favor OF looking 70 the
general Government for the funds necessary
to paw for the projected canal improvements
but it failed. 1t was the opinion OF the majority
of the delegates that New-York was abund-
antly able and perfectly willing to take care OF
her own public works and that her control over
any portion of them ought not 10 pe Jeoparui~eu
by seeking outside aid.
The conference that met at Syracuse on wed
nesday was in accord with the gathering OF last
in regard to canal improvements, the federai
aid scheme and taxation. 1t took no action
in reference to either terminal charges or rail-
road determinations that placed 1T in opposition
TO the former confcrcnce-in fact 1t took no
action at all in regard to either Of those matters
The omission is one that would seem to call for
an explanation. Last year both the resolution
respecting railroad determinations and the one
In regard to terminal charges did indeed en-
counter opposition. But at the end OF the debate
both were passed by an emphatic majority
How did it happen that such resolutions were
not passed this year, Is there no longer any
fear of railroad determinations Are the ter
minal charges satisfactory
The fact that the conference pronounced
against Federal aid will doubtless induce thC
supporters of that scheme to abandon it. They
have labored hard for its success at Washing
ton, at Albany and at both these gatherings OF
| the trucst and most sagacious friends OF The
| canals. But all to no purpose. The majority
decides that the Empire State shall pay her own
| bills, as she has always been accustomed to do
| for her own canals And it is becoming clearer
| every day-and the Syracuse conference helped
| to make it cleaier-that public sentiment de
mands that the needed canal improvements be
made without unnecessary delay. The finances
OF the State are in a healthy condition. New
York owes nothing to speak Of to anybody, anc
so can well afford to spend all the money thai
| the locks and the channels may call for. In
| decd, she cannot afford to withhold the money
since her continued prosperity Is largely con
| ditioned upon the maintenance Of her canals IL
state of the highest efficiency

COLLAPSE OF AN JNTRlG UE.

The collapse of Zanlxoff's revolutionary Gov
crnment lays bare one of the most detcstabe
intrigues in the memory of man. The success
Of the conspirators seemed complete at the
outset; they had invaded the palace, seized the
sovereign and proclaimed new Ministry In
the interest of Russia and supported as they
were by the menace of invasion from the North,
the usurping Government apparently occupied
an impregnablc position. But before three
days had elapsed the new Ministers them
selves in prison, and garrisoDs and people
throughout Bulgaria were shouting "Long
live Prince Alexander !" The revoutionlsts
had received no support from the army, with
the exception of the single regiment bribed 10
make the midnight seizure. The prccipitatc
haste with which they had stripped off all dis
guises and placed Bulgaria under Russian pro-
lection offended national pride. The counter
revolution was popular uprising against con-
spiraos who were without political authority
in Bulgaria and were wholly dependent upon
foreign aid 1t was Immediately successful,
and tho Provisional Government, which was to
restore and maintain Russian supremacy, fell
like house of cards The revolution suddenly
resolved itself into an intrigue for kidnapping
the sovereign and imprisoning him in Russia
The Bulgarians had little, if anything, to do
with 1t.
The self-possesSion and loyalty of the Princes
subjects have thus brought to naught one of the
most audacious conspiracics against popular
government ever known. Russia had swooped
down upon the Princes palace, very much as
Ak hanof captured Merry first and Pcndeh
aftcrward. but the Bulgarian people were moi
to be classed with the cowardly and caprcious
populations Of Central Asia. The nation could
not be kidnapped along with the Prince. Anti
Russian feeling, already very strong in the
Nationalist party. Is at once intensified by so
dcspicable plot against popular sovereign.
From The Balkan to the sea the Princes sub
cots are calling upon him TO return and reign
over them his political prestige has been
greatly increased by this foreign intrigue and
if the Gar keeps him prisoner OF drives hun
into exile. Bulgarian gratitude to the Power
which gave deliycrance from the Turk will bc
at an end. Central Asian methods have been
employed with such disastrous results in the
Balkan capital that Russian diplomacy is now
the laughing stock of Europe.
The Car and his counsellors, however, are
not in a mood to he laughed at The collapse
Of this conspiracy increases the probabilities of
military Intervention. The chances of Bulga-
rian acquiescence in the Princes overthrow were
so grossly miscaculatcd at ST Petersburg that
the diplomatists will despair Of retrieving their
blunders and misfortuncs. "The cards never
forgive was one Of the favorite maxims in
Gortschakoff's school. The diplomatic game
has gone against them. Will they not prefer
