PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS DE-
CLAKE FOR PROHIBITION.

The adoption by the Republican
State Convention which assembled at
Harrisburg this week of prohibition
plank in their platform indicates that
the Republican leaders in that state
fully appreciate the importance of this
issue, and that they have sense enough
to recognize the fact, that there IS an
awakened conviction in the consCienCes
of the people, of the enormity of the
evils that flow from this traffic. Be-
sides the Republican party is party of
progress and of moral ideas, and has in
its ranks large ele:- ent of supporters,
who carry their religion and consciences
into their politics. Commenting on this
action, the leading Republican paper of
that state, the Press, commends the
representatives of the Republican voters
of that state by saying, "That on the
temperance question, the convention
had the sagacity and the manliness to
face it squarely by declaring for the
submission of prohibition amendment
to the popular vote. Upon the broad
question of prohibition it recognized
the policy and duty of remitting it to
the people. 1t is just in itself, and it
is sound party policy. The Republi-
cans of Pennsylvania have we think
acted wisely.

THE LATE DAVID DAVIS.

We publish elsewhere in this issue an
extended notice of this eminent Cecil
countian, whose death was not uneX-
pected, but on that account no less
unwelcome. Outside of the pardon
able pride which all Marylanders should
feel in the career Of her sons, David
Davis was in many respects man otu
usual traits of character. Few men now
in politics have had afforded them the
opportunity to exert the influence he
welded, fortified as he was by moral
courage that raised him to the level Of
any emergency. He was pre- eminently
a man of convictions, which no pres
sure of circumstance or fortuitous COM
bination of events could weaken. While
in the Senate of the United States al
though his attitude was exceptional,
yet he did nothing that was not per-
fectly in keeping with his principles
or that impaired the integrity of his
character. He was an ornament to
the Bench, distinguished as judge for
his ability, his justice, and his fairness.
In private life he was beloved for his
virtues and high personal qualities,
possessing in an eminent degree that
greatest of human traits Christian
charity. While his memory will be
cherished for his virtues, and the record
of his public services will remain as a
monument to his ability and industry,
he will not be forgotten as the trusted
friend and adviser of that great and
good man Abraham Lincoln, whose re-
gard and esteem he so largely shared.

The above is the language of the
preamble adopted by the Republi-

an authoritative declaration of the
recognition of the growth of Prohi-

ELKTON, JULY 3, 1886.

THE story of another disgrace to
Cecil county is found in our local col
umns, whiskey claiming amidst violence
and blood fresh victim. The recital
of this killing emphasizes the popular
demand for more stingent law in
Cecil. That is an amended prohlbi-
tory law, sustained by the active-not
passive-sentiment of our best citizens.
Nothing short OF that will in our opin-
ion correct the evil from which all our
communities are in some degree suf-
ferinp

THE demand for farm laborers at
Castle Garden is just now very great,
but the supply is totally inadequate.
Eight per cent. of those arriving from
Germany and Ireland are sent out as
far West as possible, this policy being
pursued in order to induce the immi-
grants to stay away from New York,
for every year, Immediately after the
harvest is over, many of them often re-
turn to Castle Garden as a refuge, and
thus become burdens upon the public.
At present there are very few skilled
laborers arriving, the strikes IN this
country as well as the act of Congress
prohibiting the importation of contract
hbor no doubt having a deterrent
effect

''1F the greatest enemy that menaces
the Republic were fairly inquired into,
the eyes of the people would be opened
to the necessity of Prohibition. The
only hope of emancipation from the
oppression of the liquor traffic which
scourges us at every turn, lies in the
Union of all temperance men and wo-
men to control elections. The Brew
ers and distillcrs and saloon keepers
laugh at all kinds of opposition except
Prohibition votes. High-license, po-
lice supervision, public prosecutors.
and all the machinery for "strict" regu-
lation of the liquor traffic, the trafickers
mock at. There is only one law which
they fear, and that is Prohibition. y

A PARTlZAN AVOWAL ON
TEMPERANCE.

The Philadelphia Press which as a
partizan Republican journal commands
general respect for the wisdom and
common sense of its utterances upon
public questions, takes this sensible po-
sition upon the temperance question
which we particularly commend to the
practical consideration of Republicans
who have any misgiyings as to their
personal attitude towards this question
in its bearings upon the organization of
the Republican party.
Two other questions remain upon
which deliverance will be expected.
The first is the labor question, brought
forward and made prominent by the
recent course of events. The Repub
lican party has always been the friend
of honest labor. The tendency of its
aims and policy has always been to
dignity and ennoble the labor of the
country. 1t destroyed the system
which degraded labor to the position
of the slave it gave free homesteads to
the labor which chose to plant itself on
the public domain; it has protected
the wages of labor against the standard
and the competition of the cheap labor
of Europe. While thus defending the
true interests of labor it can not sane
ton or encourage violent, unlawful and
ill-advised measures calculated to create
a conflict between the right and the
left arms of industrial progress on the
contrary, 1t maintains the respective
rights and mutual interests of the en-
ployer and the employed, and holds
that success and prosperity depend
upon their mutual consideration and
harmonious cooperation.
The remaining question is the tenn
perance question. In the stress OF
other great issues growing out of the
war and out of the vast business de-
mands of the country, this subject has
not pressed for immediate attention
and action but it has now reached a
point where the Republican party
should face it squarely and honestly.
The Republican party has been the
party of moral progress, and its strength
rests in its reliance on the moral forces
and moral sentiment of the people. 1t
should deliberately determine its posi-
ton upon the temperance question,
and frankly declare it in terms which
will leave no doubt that it means pre-
cisely what it says. A clear, broad and
sound policy would be embraced in
declaration that all existing measures
for the restriction and suppression of
the liquor traffic should be vigorously
enforced ; that high license law should
be enacted, and this might be accom-
panied by an expression IN favor of
measures which would leave the people
of the State or of any community to
determine for themselves whether they
will or will not permit the liquor traffic
within their jurisdiction. Several of
the County Conventions have pro.
nounced in favor OF submitting a pro-
hibition amendment to the popular
vote whenever the popular voice de-
mands it. 10 our mind there is no
objection to such a proposition, but

THE cigarette girls of Philadelphia
are making fuss over the pictures
which have become common, called
the Cigarette Gill" 1t is most true
that these photographs show these girls
IN rather peculiar and suggestive posi-
tions, but we do not think they will
hurt the morals of the community.
What the world needs most is some
patent process by which young men
could obtain cheap sufficient amount
of brains not to smoke cigarettes or at
least enough common politeness not to
offend others by smoking them in pub
lie or private rooms. In plain honest
