In letter to the English Temperance ALI
ance dated June, 1886, Gen. Neal Dow wrote:
'The Maine law, administered by the Re-
publican party has stopped nineteen twenti-
eths of the liquor traffic, and has added $lO,-
900, 900 annually to the wealth of the State. I"
Ina letter to Mr.. Charles d. Crane, of New
Jersey, in 1885, Gen. Neal Dow wrote: ''The
Maine law was enacted in 1851, and from that
date to this has been . great success"
In November, 1888, Gen. Neal Dow wrote
letter, in which he said: 'The Maine law is
as well executed as any other of our statutes"
In letter to the New York Sun, dated
1885, Gen. Neal Dow wrote:
'The quantity of liquors sold in Maine is
not more than one-twentieth of what it was
before the law. Every distillery and brewery
in the State has been suppressed; there is not
one remaining"
In Milwaukee, Gen. Neal Dow said, in a
political interview:
'There is not word of truth in the asser-
ton that the Maine law is a failure On the
contrary, it has been great success from the
beginning. It has driven out every distllery
and brewery, and has reduced the volume Of
liquor traffic to at least one-twentieth of what
it was before. We save by it, directly and in
directly, at least $24, 000 900, which without
prohibition would be spent and wasted in
drink.
In letter to the Portland Argus, the
Democratic organ of Maine, in September,
1886, Gen. Neal Dow wrote:

rule, except in Portland, the law has been and
is absolutely ignored, and the authorities re-
fuse TO take any measures whatever for the
extinction of the low grcg shops which infest
them, and inflict great suffering upon large
numbers of people,"
In the same letter, Gen. Neal Dow wrote:
FtFor many years we have applied to Re-
publican Legislatures for such additions to
the law as experience has shown to be neces-
sary, but we have been absolutely refused, or
have been put off by insufficient and insignifi-
cant measures. The consequence is Shat the
volume of the liquor traffic has not been at
all reduced within the last twenty years"
When did Gen. Neal Dow tell the TRUTH
Despite his eighty-two years and his high
reputation and general good character, there
can be no escape from the conclusion that at
one time or the other Gen. Neal Dow did not
tell the truth. In the light of the late cleo
ton, when the people of Maine had an oppor
tunity to express their opinion of Gen. Neal
Dows efforts to ''smash the Republican party"
in the interests Of free whisky and the Demo
cratic party, it may not be hard for the peo
pie of ordinary common sense to determine
when he spoke the truth and when he spoke a
falsehood. 1t is such tortuous, untruthful
records as Neal Dow makes that put the whole
thirdparty POLITICAL prohibition movement
under suspicion and condemnation.

The Success of Local Option.

The Republican prohibitionists are not wise
They are trying to make national issue out OF
a local matter. The main reason why the pro-

successful is because they have pursued the op.

option If they should abandon this line-if, for
instance, majority of the rural counties in n
State should endeavor to force prohibition upon
the large cities and seaport townsville result
would be as notorious, as scandalous and as dis.
graceful a failure as prohibition has been Ia

THE Democracy OF California IS so far away
that it has been unable to catch the sh-h-h-h
Of the party managers, and has let loose its
soul in resolution declaring Chat the
Democratic party of the State of Califor-
MIA demands the removal of every Republican
now in Office by appointment, except those
holding under civil-service reform, and that
Democrats be appointed in their places" In
other words, the party out there is very hungry
and very thirsty, and wants some of the
spoils. They want it here in Indiana as
well, but they are afraid to say SO.
The farce the party is playing under the
name of civil-service reform will have to
be played to its end. 1t was Mr. Hendricks,
Of this State, who declared that no less than
900 Republican officers must go, and go
speedily, in event Of Democratic success. 1t
was with this understanding that the State of
Indiana went Democratic; for had it been
understood that the faithful" were not to be
rewarded promptly and fully, it is morally

the support of the ticket, as they did so re-
luctantly anyhow. There is deal of sore
ness still in this State, and arnica will not
soothe it altogether It is not enough to tell
the workers that it would be suicidal to turn
out tried and faithful officials faster than has
been done, nor does it help the matter to refer
to the all-too- palpable fact that the public
service has been crippled already by the COM
paratively few changes that have been made.
AS a rule with but few exceptions, bad materi-
al has succeeded good, SO that the civil service
in certain branches is becoming execrable. It
not strange that it does not please Democrats,
for they are not used to the idea of having to
be qualified for positions of trust and respon-
sibility. Their highest conception of these
things has been to "get there, and to this end
have sought, not to qualify themselves in any
manner, but to stuff ballot boxes and "fx"
caucuses to secure the "spoils," after which it
became a mere matter of dividing the results
in such way as to placate all concerned.
This feeling still obtains in the party, and
though it may for the time be kept under for
political reasons, it is there, for the very good
cause that the Democratic party has been
largely builded of that kind of material It
is in the bone of the party, and is not to be
easily driven out. Democracy is essentially
the same it has ever been, and it is not risking
anything to predict that unless a change is
speedily brought about, whereby the ranks
may be Rewarded" little faster and at less
expenditure of mental energy and with easier
exactions, there will be marked and signif-
can't falling off Of the party vote in future
elections. It is the thing now to indorse the
administration of the President, for it would
not do to do anything else. Party pride and
party interests compel it. But it will be seen
that unless Mr. Cleveland radically alters his
manner of distributing his favors, he will not
stand the remotest chance Of being again nomi-
mated. Democracy will not have it So

amount Of $671, 900. The premium paid on
these amounted to Sill, 1908. So that the

years later, to take $51O 900 for them and re-
invest the proceeds in 4-per-cents. at pre-
MUM of % IL per cent. For an increase in
the sinking fund of $l61, 900 the company
pays 1892, 1908. Here is practical illustra-
ton Of the inconvenience and loss to which
the company is subjected by the existing law.
It owes the government large sum which
will not be due until some ten or twelve years
hence. The debt is drawing interest at 6 per
cent The sinking-fund provision of the ex-
listing law requires the company to use its sur
plus as shown above, in buying at over %
per cent. premium government bond which
pays per cent. per annum. Not only does
the company suffer great loss and inconven
fence by this provision, but the government
itself. instead of prodting by the transaction,
actually impairs its own security by diminish
ing the ability of its debtor to pay. This alb
surdity and wrong would have been corrected
by the last Congress had it not been for the
piddling policy Of demagogue Holman, who
filibustered against the passage Of a law that
would have relieved alike the company and
the government from the palpable injustice
imposed by the terms of the present statute.

Edward Everett Hale, in recent adj
dress, made an interesting statement
concerning the Boston Latin School
when he was one of its pupils, some
fifty years ago, Il am quite sure, he
said, "that even cowarily boys of the
school would have been more afraid to
tell lie than of any consequences Of
telling the truth. He attributed this
high tone not to the discipline of the
school, nor to the example of the teach
rrs, but to the right feeling of the boys
themselves at was tone given by
the scholars" " he remarks. 1T was a
thing understood among them that a
boy who would lie was a COwaUdly and
mean fellow, and as such was to be pO-
litely cut by his follow-pupils until he
had learned better
Boys are so susceptible TO the public
opinion of their school that it requires
more courage than human nature or
dinarily possesses for a boy to do either
wrong or right against it. Hence, the
anxious solicitude of good teachers to
get the public opinion of their schools
sound and rational.
DIR. Arnold, who attached more inn
pOrtance to this than anything else,
was of opinion that the elder boys Of a
school usually set the fashion both in
morals and in manners, and he

AN EEEECTuAL CUBE.


Thievlsh Kitty Gray and Her Involuntary
Bath.
Foolish little Kitty Gray would Jump
up to the great earthen cream bowl to
steal a drink, although BERTHE kept her
saucer well supplied with good sweet
milk
But Kitty thought it nice to be a lit
tie thief and help herself to little sips
of cream from the pantry. Several
times she had been caught and pun
ished for the troublesome trick, but it
seemed to make no differences she
would first jump to the shelf, then step
carefully upon the edge of the bowl,
and softly lap the thick, rich cream
with her little naughty red tongue.
One day BERTHE was in the kitchen,
when all at once he thought he heard
some little movements in the pantry.
He crept slowly to the door, and there
was Kitty Gray just stepping slyly upon
the edge of the cream bowl. Pretty
soon she began tapping the yellow
cream. BERTHE stole nOiselesslv in, and
suddenly giving Kittie a quick push, in
she went, head first, into the splashing
cream. She tlOundered about i'm great
fright and distress, scrambling and
scratching, trying to get out. But the
bowl was deep and the glazed sides so
slippery, poor Kitty might have
drowned had she fallen in accidentally.
BERTHE let her stay until he though it
cruel to keep her there any longer, then
he helped her out,
Poor Kitty ran dripping away, and
hid somewhere in the dark
1t was not very kind for BERTHE to do
as he did, but when he promptly told
his mamma the truth about it, she said
she would forgive him if Kitty was
cured of her naughty habit and she
was. From that day, Kitty Gray never
was seen near the cream bowl again.
In fact, she would run away and hide
if any one was seen approaching with
the bowl i'm hand - Christian at WOrb.
