SENATOR HAwLEY, in his address d
Henry E. Bowen's Fourth of July GELD
bration at Woodstock, Conn, warne
his Windham county friends of tn
danger of making of the government
socialistic tyranny that should hav
charge of the hours, the prices, and thu
savings of labor, run the railroads
work the telegraphs, and manage tn
whole business of the people: "Yol
complain of the government for its short
comings," he said, in substance, and
yet some of you are crying out for moro
and more government, until there shall
be nothing else except government
Beware that you do not ask it to touch
you in too many things, lest you find
yourselves by and by fast in mould.
WE are glad to notice that Senator
Edmunds, who was too good to supper
Mr.. Blaine (though he was subject to
the same charge that was brought
against Mr.. Blaine in connection with
railroad stocks), is the only republican,
who goes out of his way to sustain the
Pan-Electric Mr.. Garland as an honest
man. And the New York Times, which
was also too good to support Mr.. Blaine ]
seems to be the only newspaper which
is open to the charge of venality in con-
nection with the same matter, having
taken 81 200 from the Bell people for
the insertion of an article in their favor
and having also published articles on|
the other side, while not taking much
interest in the subject editorially.@
Chdmplain Counsellor.
No great political party is ever likely
to be built up on prohibition as its
single issue, and it is not probable that
prohibition, as involving the entire sup
preston of the manufacture and sale
of alcoholic liquors, will ever be fully
enforced. But that civilized commune
ties are rapidly coming to the deter
mination to abolish the saloon as a So
cial institution, all signs indicate. The
saloon has become political power, as
well as an economic and moral curse.
There can be no radical reformation of
politics, no permanent solution of the
labor question, and no thorough social
regeneration until the saloon and the
liquor club are banished, and the join
ing of hands and of forces against the
dram-shops and the law-breakers and
evaders will be good politics as well as
good morals.-Springfeld Union.
THE Pennsylvania railroad has been
quietly making some experiments to as
certain whether it would pay for big
railroad company to remember the Sab
bath day. A good many excursion
trains and some regular passenger trains
have been discontinued. All freight
trains, except those carrying livestock
and perishable goods, have been ordered
off from eight O'Clock Saturday night
till midnight Sunday, and all repairing
work on Sunday has been stopped. To
make the opportunity still further bene-
fetal, freight engineers are allowed the
use of their locomotives to take them
selves home for the day. The results
have proved so satisfactory that the d.
rectors are now arranging to make these
experimental changes permanent and
to extend them. The men are found
to be worth more and the liability to
accidents is lessened.
