POLITICS.

Conventions of all parties, congress
sional, legislative and county, have been
the order of the day for weeks past.
Politics on the streets, in stores and
shops and in farm neighborhoods are
the uppermost theme of discussion.
We say "politics," but there is really
no politics in the volumes of daily talk.
The political creed of candidates is not
once in hundred times brought into
question by those discussing fitness for
Office, except for State and Congress
sional. If a candidate has been label
ed Republican or Democrat that is
sufficient. If the candidate of one
party cannot tell whether he differs
politically from the candidate of anoth-
er party, except in name, it is just as
well. This must not be construed as
a charge of ignorance ON the part of
office expectants. What passes for po-
litical discussion In respect to the
choice of men is merely an expression
OF personal preferences, of likes and
dislikes, without any principle of state
or national politics being involved.
The most popular candidate for town
or county office is not the man who
best represents the distinctive princi.
pies of a great national party, but he
who calls around him the greatest
number of personal admirers. Yet if
the political division of voters in any
town or city exists only in name, with
out any apparent distinctions in politi-
cal principles, it has the advantage of
keeping up the national party organiza-
lions, in which the distinctive lines are
stilldefned, and probably will continue
to be for long time to come. In a
form of government like this, there al
ways will be two great political parties.
while there may be lesser ones, which
will hardly assume the name of nation.
al. 1t is probably better that there
should be two great parties, to watch
each others movements and departures
from good government.

FUTURE PROBATION.

MEETING OF THE AMERICAN BOARD.
The meeting of the American Board
of the Congregational churches at Des
Moines, Iowa, last week was one of
unusual interest, and drew a great
number of distinguished clergymen and
men of prominence from ali parts of
the country. New England especially
was largely represented, being attract
ed to Des Moines, to witness the action
of the Board on the subject of future
probation" The proceedings Of the
Board have been fully noticed in all
the leading city newspapers, east and
west. As opinions have been formed
in respect to the merits of the question
discussed, it is not easy to state the
attitude of the American Board with.
out being suspected of Partially to
one side. The subject of future proba-
tion was forced on the Board by the
action of one of its Secretaries, DR..
Alden, on whom devolves the duty of
commissioning ministers who are to be
sent to missionary fields in heather
lands. The question has of late years
been more fully raised, What will be
the ultimate destiny of the millions of
heathens who die without ever having
heard of the true God and Saviour ?"
DR.. Alden has taken the responsibility

STATE POLITICS.

There are now distinctly four parties
in the field in this state, each soliciting
support from the people. The candi.
dates for Governor of each party are
as follows: Jeremiah Rusk, Republi-
can: G. M. Woodward, Democrat
John NJ. Olin, Prohibitionist; John
Cochrane, Labor party. Each of these
gubernatorial candidates bears good
reputation, and nothing can be gained
by attempting to disparage the person.
al standing of either of them. Each
of the four parties, in most of the con-
gressional districts and counties, have
in nomination a full complement of
officers to be voted for at the ensuing
general election. Kenosha is one of
the counties still in arrears for county
nominations. 1t is more difficult than
in former years to calculate with any
degree of accuracy the outcome of the
election. 1t is almost certain that the
Prohibition party will poll a larger
vote than in former years. This may
not be because that party has been
growing in favor, but for the reason
the Prohibitionists have done much
active work in the state in nearly
every county except Kenosha. In this
county it does not appear that much
political labor has been expended by
the party Prohibitionists. The Labor
party is as yet almost an unknown
quantity. If it were thoroughly or
gained, it would doubtless develop
large strength; but it does not appear
to be systematized. From this con-
dition of things, it must be readily
seen that the increased Prohibition
vote will, as heretofore, be drawn to a
large extent from the Republican
ranks. The labor vote, it is said, will
draw more from the Democratic ranks
than from the Republicans. This,
however, is only conjectural. Admit.
ting that the Prohibition and Labor
parties will draw considerable support
from the Republicans, this will be
fully compensated by added votes
from the Democrats to the Republican
ticket. This is not an unwarrantable
calculation. Enough prominent Dem
ocrats in different parts of the state
have signified their intentions as to
how they will vote to justify the ex.
pected support from that party. In
view of the situation it is reasonable
to calculate that Gov. Rusk will be re-
elected by large majority, and the
balance of the ticket is also safe of ar
election.

GENUINE WHISKY.

Or alcohol, rather, has long been
used as a preservative for anatomical
specimens, but if any political party
m axes the attempt to preserve itself
in the rot-gut of the present day it
proves failure. The political stencil
arising shows that the preservative is
foul or adulterated. The Democratic
party, which has so long attempted to
preserve itself in whisky, is proving a
failure, and the stencil has become so
obnoxious that the whisky men them
selves pronounce it an abomination,
and have declared themselves free and
independent, whereat we rejoice.
They have also renewed their declara-
ton of war against the fanatical
Prohibitio nists." If the whisky SUP.
porters all withdraw their support the
Democratic party will soon find itself
in a hopeless minority. AS the Pro-
hibitionists, with moderate exceptions,
are off-shoots of the Republican party,
we are happy at the prospect of their
numbers being offset by withdrawal
from the Democratic party. AS the
Abolitionists and the Fire-eaters
of the ante-bellum times were the
two extremes on the subject of slavery,
so are the whisky men and the Prohi-
bitionists the two extremes on the
liquor question.
But let us hear what the whisky
men say for themselves. The Liquor
Dealers State Protective Association
recently met in annual convention at
Springfield, ILL.,, and among the resolu-
tions passed were the following:
Resolved, That we declare ourselves
absolutely free from the control of any
politician; that we are independent of
of any political party, and, irrespective
of party, we will support only such
men for Office whose past record has
shown them to be in favor of personal

CHICAGO ANARCHISTS.

The last hope of the Chicago anar-
chists for mitigation of the punish.
ment for their crimes is gone. The ap-
plication for new trial, which has
had a patient hearing by the Court, has
been denied. AS Thursday last had
been set for hearing the decision of the
Court on the application, great inter-
est was manifested by crowd drawn
together to hear the result. Much sat
isfaction was manifested on the denial
for new trial by all, except the pris-
oners, their relatives and immediate
friends. The public safety demands
the sentence and execution of these
men. In no civilized country in the
world could anything less be expected.
The anarchists will appeal to the SUI
preme Court for new trial, but no
one expects they will succeed with that
tribunal. After the close of the hear
ing of the application for new trial
the prisoners accepted the privilege &C
corded them to address those who chose
to listen; some of the convicted anar-
chists exhibited much ability as speak
ers. Samuel Fielden, one of the Grim
inals, made an effort which led a Chi
agonewspaper to declare if that speech
had been made before the jury a yer
dict of guilty could not have been
found. That is hardly creditable to
the jury, but no doubt rogues have
many a time escaped punishment by
the power of oratory.

The Protestant Episcopal Conven-
tion i'll session in Chicago has had at
tention called to the change of the
name of the church. This is not the
first time change of name has been
proposed. Years ago, more than once,
a like suggestion was made. What the
chief objections are to the present name
we cannot state. 1t has been said by
some the name is inconveniently long,
and it has been urged to drop the word
Protestant and adopt simply Epis-
copal church. This might dissatisfy
some persons, who would regard it as
an abandonment of the Protestant
character of the church. Others favor
the simple name The Church." That

to misconstruction. If the church is

Resolged, That the active co-opera-
ton of every person engaged in the
business is necessary to maintain and
strengthen this organization and place
it in a proper condition to fight the
enemies of our business, the " fanatical
Prohibitionists."
We admire these resolutions; we adj
mire them for their open, out-spoken
tone. There is no quibbling or evasion
in the language. Their intent is not
to be mistaken. 1t is an open declara-
ton of war. and a candid acknowledg.
ment that they have a powerful and
desperate, though fanatical' enemy
to contend with, and all their declara-
tions are in wide contrast to the vague
and indefinite resolutions Of the Dem
ocratic party, upon which we comment
ed last week.
Their withdrawal is certainly COM
plimentary to the Democratic party in
moral view, and we hope they may
so consider it, although it may result
in their hopeless defeat.
Another resolution draws the reins
tightly over individuals of their own
forces, and whips them into the traces,

association not to go on the bond OF

G. it is said he approached the city by
the way of Jericho, and over the
mountainous path between the two
cities, and, to facilitate the passage of
his army, built a stone.paved chariot
road about ten feet in width--payed
with square blocks, about the size of
those in use in our modern cities for
the same purpose. Extensive remains
of this road are still to be seen in a
state of good preservation. The stone
used in its construction, like most of
the stone in the vicinity, is quite soft,
and in the course of centuries holes
have been worn into the pavement, by
the iron-shod feet of horses, varying
from three to seven or eight inches in
depth, like tracks in soft snow path.
This road, leaving the st. Stephens
gate on the east side of the city, cross
es the valley of Jehosphat, following a
serpentine course along the face of
Olivet, as it ascends from the ravine,
and thus around the southern spur of
the mountain till it reaches Bethany,
two miles from Jerusalem. Thence
follows a succession of climbing.
logged mountain peaks, and winding
down and along dark and dreary de-
files, fitting scenes for robbery and
murder, till at the end of seven
hours ride the traveller emerges upon
the desolate plain of Jericho. The en-
tire route presents nothing of interest
except its historical associations, or its
rugged aspect to the lover of wild
mountain scenes.
This is the lonely and dangerous
road on which ga certain man went
down to Jericho, and fell among
thieves" that we read of. x.
