Briskness did not always mark the movement

preston of dulness creatsd by the initial scene.

Ladv Gay Spanker was appropriately over-

not seem to hinder her in gaining the appro-

what he was then doing. He was playing q

THE PROHIBITION VOTE.

The returns so far in from Minnesota
indicate that the Prohibition vote, in
proportion to the year as compared with
1886, has barely held its own. This in
truth is a positive loss. For the party,
after perfecting the strongest organiza-
ton that it has ever had in the state, to
no more than hold its own, Or at the
best ruu few votes ahead, is actual
retrogreSSion. 1t indicates failure to
reach the increased population Of the
state over 1856; to capture the floating
vote, or to draw apprecable numbers
from either of the old parties. The an
ticipated vote of 10000 fades from sight,
and leaves only the cold reality of
failure. The reason for this can hardly be
in the cause itself, and certainly not in
the candidates named. The tickets
nominated were exceptionally pure: the
theories championed never had before
SO many able advocates in the field.
But the Republican party's plan Of
policy was to annihilate the third party
vote, and in this it was eminently sue
ceSsful. In every congressional dis
trict pressure of the strongest kind was
brought to bear. Every argument that
might bring back to the ranks a recre-
ant Republican was used. The state
was secured by. special agents, whose
business was to ascertain Prohibition
strength, and when it was found, to
apply to it alb the machinery of politics
which disintegrates. The result was
what might have been expected. Cold
calculation played with enthusiasm and
WOn
St. Paul daily globe., 1888-11-08
LET REASON SWAY.

By the advocacy of the doctrine of
prohibition most men stamp themselves
as enthusiasts. Their role is that of an
emotional actor. who for his success
appeals less to the reason and more to
the Sensibiiities of his audience. And
for this reason ante-election claims by
Prohibition leaders have become not0-
riouSly inaccurate. To the practical
student of the situation they mean no
more than that So and So, eminent in
Prohibition councils, has been inspired
from some mysterious source to declare
that his party will sweep the country
at such and such a time. The claim,
based not upon an actual canvass OF
study of the field, but upon what So
and So. eminent etc., desires to be the
case. is worthless. 1t serves only to
mislead those who, through lack Of eX-
perience, do not know better.
Until the Prohibition leaders come off
of their high horses and campaign by
practical and legitimate methods. they
and those who count upon them will
suffer just such grievous disappolDt-
ments as they are experiencing to-day.
The enthusiast must supplant magma
tion with reason and cold figures. 1t
will then be possible to accredit to the
third party its due strength and to say
with some show of accuracy what itmay
expect. On the part of the Prohibi-
bitionistS it is unfair to their fellow men
to carry further the process of claiming
100000 before election and thanking
God after for 100000. The descent from
the highest TO the lowest is too rapid
and nerve-destroying. The gray mat
ter that it destroys in both of the
old parties is unquestionably enormous.
Morally and physically it is pernicious,
and to be condemned. Like HYPATIA's
philosophical porter, Prohibition calcu-
lators must come down from Parnassus
to the ''tog bucket" Of solid, irrefuta-
ble facts,

that the policy of tariff reform advo-
Gated by the national Democracy is the
true one for the government to pursue,
we do not believe that our glorious III
stitutions will be wrecked because the
opposite is to be perpetuated. We still
think that in good time the majority Of
the American people will learn to think
as we do, and that this policy will ulti-
mately prevail. But, whether our
thoughts coincide with the Thoughts of

gracefully submit to the majority rule,

and promote the dignity and welfare
of this great nation, without regard to
who may be its president OF what party
shall be in control of the various de-
partments of government. We are sure
that this feeling actuates the great
body Of the Democratic voters, and that
in the future, as in the past, they shall
continue to hold country above party,
