The engineer on the Nickel Plate

soul. What can railroads do to keen
such men out Of responsible positions ?

The Anti-Saloon Movement.

The National Convention of the Anti
Saloon Republicans at Chicago has
adopted platform which NAV be re-
garded as the first step toward organ
lied and practical action within the
Republican party for reform of the sa-
loon evil. The convention has been
sneered at as unrepresentative. In
fact it represented faithfully the stron-
gest temperance element in the coun-
try that element of clear-seeing Re-
publicans who, while profoundly con-
vinced of the need of temperance re-
form, believe that the right and the
only sure way to secure it is by compel
ling the party with which thew ere
identified to make it leading issue.
1t Is only few months since the Anti
Saloon movement was begun. 1t start
ed In the face of ridicule and detrac-
ton. From the outset it was misrepre-
sented by the unscruplous masquerad-
ing politicians who are endeavOring to
create third party which shall act as
a tender to the Democracy, under the
pretence of advancing the cause of
temperance. Against discouragement,
however, the movement proceeded,
gathering strength continually, and in
dlcatng, by the earnestness of its SUBJ
sidiary conventions, the sincerity and
determination which have produced
this national expression.
The thoroughly practical character
of the movement is shown in the re-
concentrations of the platform. No
time or energy was thrown away in
mere vague and general demands for
measures too sweeping to offer any
present hope of enactment, but it was
proposed that the party should be re-
qulred to effect everywhere the most
and the best made possible by local
conditions. The practical tendency of
such programme is clearly shown by
comparing it with the Prohibition poll
cy. The latter aims at obtaining the
final results at once, and by purely in
dependent means. The result. as ex-
perienced has shown, is negative, or
when not negative, suicidal. For eth
er the prohibition is thrown away, or it
goes to reinforce the Democracy, which
IS the bulwark of the saloon in politics.
The Anti-SalOon movement proceeds
differently. 1t begins by deducing
from the facts of history the conclusion
UnaU the RepubHcan party embOdies
nine-tenths of whatever reformatOrv
and progressive tendencies are extant.
1t argues from this that whatever re-
form it is desirable to urge must, to sue
ceed, obtain the support of the Repub-
lican party. 1t then facilitates reform
by adapting its measures to local con-
ditiOns, rightly reasoning that it is bet
ter TO secure even q partial improve
ment where no more at present be had
than to attempt too much and conse.
quently fail in obtaining anything.
And finally, to the objection that Re-
publican politicians have often shown
themselves subservient to the saloon
influence, it answers that the Anti
Saloon Republicans intend to devote
themselves to remedying that, by exer-
cising all their political influence
against it.--N y. Tribune.

No Pork. No Wines.

The Chicago pork packers are indig.
nant at Bismarck's order prohibiting
the importation Of that commodity into
Germany. One of them points to the
fact that America might get even with
Germany and with France too. by re-
tusing to drink their wines. He pro-
poses that President Cleveland shall
instruct our representatives at Berlin
and Paris to inform those Governments
that their course is regarded as unjust.
and that the laws are changed, Con-
gress will be asked to exclude from our
ports German beer and wine and French
champagne and brandies.
We now consume about $4,000. 600
worth of these wet goods, and if our
pork kill German and French people
which we strenuOusly deny-their
wines and liquors are confessedly much
more deadly in their effects upon our
population. The order of Bismarck is
said to be very unpopular in Germany.
especially among the poorer classes.
who wonder that some action is not
taken by this nation to revive the i'm
portatiOn of our superior articles of
food.

"The world to an end shall come in
1881" predicted Mother Shipton, but
that year did not prove fatal one.
The years following 'S1 have been filled
with disasters, however, both upon the
land and sea. Destructive cyclones
have swept across certain portions of
the face of the earth; great storms
have beat upon it, resulting in disas-
trous floods far and wide; hot and cold
waves have succeeded one another
with such frequency as to completely
do away with such thing as an even
climate; the "red sky" has puzzled
the savants, and spots on the sun have
grown in number and size. The earth
has quaked at different times, until
finally series of convulsions came to
wrought death and destruction in a
southern city, and to create great terror
among the in habitants thereof. Verify.
the forces of nature have been in a
state of periodical and great agitation
of late years.

MFR. Perry Belmonts Reform

Mr.. Perry Belmont proposes to do some
thing to distinguish himself in the posi-
ton which ought TO have been given to
Representative Curtin, of Pennsylvania.
The Craftsmanship OF the Foreign Affairs
Committee is a conspicuous place, though
not difficult one to fill. Mr.. Belmont
thinks that some of our COnsuls are max
ing too much money, and, no DOUBT, ne is
right. He has. therefore, introduced into
the House a bill which viii greatly re-
duce the fees of Consuls. the incomes Of
some of the Consuls are quite large. That
OF the Consul General at London is sup
posed to be not much less than $4,000;
that of the Consul at Liverpool almost as
much, and the incomes of several of the
Consuls Of the United States are greater
than the salary given the Secretary OF
state. The salaries of these Consuls are
all lower than that of their official
chief, but their official and unofficial
fees swell their incomes to handsome pro-
portions. Whatever the Consul can get
for un-ofncial accommodation is shared
with the Consul-General. The Consul also
shares with his Vice-Consul. The gov
eminent gets its share, too, but 1t is more
than the merchants who do business
abroad ought to be compelled TO pay. 1t
is tax on commerce that is discourag-
ing to commerce, and is therefore one
OF the things demanding reformation.
The fact that the government actually
derives an income from consular fees over
and above what the consular service cost
ought to be sufficient at once to induce
Congress TO reduce this burden on COM
merce. Mr.. Belmont has made a move in
the right direction and he ought to be
heartily supported in it. There is no rea-
son why commerce should be taxed to
provide salaries Of $4,000 or $4,000 for
Consuls and Consuls-General while the
Secretary OF State gets ouly $1,000.
