PROHIBITION IN MISSOURI
The Waning Prospects OF the Third
Party Faction

The Globe Democrat of st. Louis rive
some important and very suggestive fact,
about the temperance movement in the
great and growing State of Missouri.
OF the elections held in sixteen cities and
sixty-two counties, fifty have resulted in
malorities against the licensing of the liquor
traffic and twenty seven have given ma
jorities the other way. The whole number
of votes pollcd in these elections WAS l53.-
los or 5i,l17 less than were polled in the
same cities and counties at the general cleo
ton of 1856; and of this aggregate of l53,-
10 votes, 6s.3lI were against the sale of
liquor and -. so1 in favor of it. showing a
majority of 500 on the anti saloon side of
tho question Practically speaking this
means so much gained for Prohibition, of
course; but it does not imply that the Pro-
hlbition party is any stronger in the State
than it was at the time of the last Presi-
dental election. There is good reason to
believe. on the contrary, that said party has
lost ground in Missouri since that time. II
polled 10, 426 votes for candidate for Gov
ernor in 1885,; and it is very doubtful if ii
could to-da, secure two-thirds as many votes
under similar circumstances. The gains for
temperance in the State have been made
not by that organization, but in spite of it,
rather. aud in direct condemnation of its
methods and appliances
Precisely In Missouri ~ in every State
where the Third Party has sought to lead
the temperance movement, ii has proved
an obstruction, and its unwise efforts have
tended to weaken and bring into discredit
the cause of Prohibition. Thus has been
the effect of its course in this State, in
New Hampshire, and especially SO in
Massachusetts. where we have carefully
watched its proceedings for years. 1t has
reformed no Incorporate persons from
their cups. 1t has not closed a single
liquor shop from Maine to Kansas. 1t has
never aided an iota to place prohibitory
or other restrictive laws on the statute
books. 1t has constantly and everywhere
PLAYED into the hands of the rumsclers,
by dividing and creating friction among
temperance citizens. II may have done
this blindly and unintentionally, at least
this may have been the case with ma
joritv of the rank and file of this faction
hut the injurious effect of its work on the
temperance cause has been none the less
certain and unfortunate.

TAgIFF LEGISLATION.
There il nothing new in the situation As re-
CARDS tariff legislation. There is good deal of
maueuyering for position on both sides, pre-
paratory TO the struggle which i, to come.
What will be the result it is hard to predict.
but il seems clear that the hopes which the
free traders entertained when the President :
message was first announced, of securing a
sweeping reduction in the tariff, is gradually
weakening. Though Randall say, nothing
every body knows he is as firm as a rock, and
without him the Democrats can hope 10 do
nothing unless the Republicans shall approve
The President must feel chagrined over the
fact that six weeks have elapsed since his
urgent message, prophetic of disaster. was
sent to Congress, and the threatened disaster
has not materiaized, nor have any steps been
taken by Congress TO avert it. Mr.. Mllliken
introduced into the House last week a bill to
repeal the tax ON tobacco, and the duty on
sugar The bill also contained a provision
giving bounty to domestic manufacturers of
sugar. This would reduce the revenues about
$50 600, 900 per annum.

Don't forget now to send o nice little

cratic neighbor who has lost all his
money betting on Grover Cleveland's

The true History of President Cleve-
lands free-trade, free-wool message,
which he sent to Congress last Deem
Der, Is gradually coming to light.
Sending that message and forcing the
tariff issue upon the Republicans on
the eve of the Presidential election,
was political blunder that leading
Democrats now consider almost q
crime, and they are industriously
looking about to discover the real
author of their defeat.
BY o sudden and overwhelming
political revolution, the Democratic
party has been driven simultaneously
from the executive and legislative
branches of the Government. Its last
hold il gone. The power of initiative
disappears with the power of veto.
1t can neither act nor prevent action.
1t cannot control organizations, ap-
point committees, pass laws, amend
bills, defeat or veto bills, dictate ex-
penditures, arrange ways and means,
or even reward it's adherents with
places of trust. It must stand power
less while the Republican party
strengthens and perhaps perpetuates
its own hold or power by erecting in
Dakota and Washington Territories
three new States to send six Repub-
Iicans to the United States Senate,
and add in 1892 at least nine electoral
votes to the Republican column.
