There is a great difference in the
quality of straw. That from early-cut
grain retains more freshness, and be-
comes much less hard and woody.
Too often, straw is considered hardly
worth caring for, and cut late and
poorly stacked. it rots down into the
very manure. 1t may be better even
thus, than to be relied on as q staple
for winter feeding, unless there are
large supplies of foods rich in albu-
minoids to give with it.

In Japan the people have a queer

their clothing on the stage, and after
the performance redeem the articles
at scaled prices, the money going to

tice of the United States Supreme
Court, that one of the most demo-
cratic and sensible things he could
do on taking his seat on the bench
of the tribunal of last resort would
be to abolish the antiquated and
senseless fashion in vogue among
It's members of wearing gowns.
Judges, being men, should not don
woman's dress, and, not being
priests, should not appear in priestly
garb. The prospective new Chief
Justice Is gentleman Of good
sense, and has very good ideas Of
the "eternal fitness of things"
we shall expect him to
introduce good, plain, everyday
democratic-republican ways and
manners into the Nations Temple

carding of the absurd robes now
worn by its official Minister'S CHI
cage D0ily.

Prohibition and the Me tho dis
Church.

A writer who said that he repre-
scented "many Prohibitionists" asked
the editor of the Northwestern Chris
tjan Aa1ocate (Methodist) to CLASH
fly those who believe in legal prohi-
bition as an essential method Of
temperance reform. The authority
referred to gave in reply the follow
ing classification, and it is entitled
to consideration as proceeding from
a leading thinker and writer on the
subject:
Il. Prohibitionists who. remaining such, vote
where they please"
-. Prohibitonists who propose 90 vote only
with the party that pledges Itself to legislate
against the liquor traffic"
80. Prohibit onists who believe hat only the
Republican party can lead the ma ion in moral
progress, the matter of prohibition to follow
IN its own good time, and think THAT the Dem
ocrats will never serve 10 DO anything to en-
barrass the liquor traffic"
In addition 10 TINS reply ne ADDS;
There are good men in each OF these three
classes, no one OF which three is at liberty 70
sneer st the other two kinds OF Christian ,iti-
gems who hate the rum traffic"
u is certain that no better defni-
ton Of the various classes of Prohi-
bitionists could be given than IS
contained in the first of the above
extracts, and the admonition by
which it is followed is full both Of
Christian charity, and political wis
dom. But, with all due respect to
the Northeastern, it must be said
that Bishop Merrill, in a letter to
its editor, published in the same
issue, also places the subject in a
clear light. Bishop Merrill is OPP.

low, and says that every Methodist
Bishop in the United States sis
thorough Prohibitionist," and OPP
posed to any legal recognition of the
traffic. But he adds:
THE only possible excuse for ignorance or
doubt in regard 10 the position of Methodist
Bishops is found in the fact that some people
gather their impressions from the political pa
pers, instead of obtaining them from original
sources. Some Of these papers persist ia refusfag
10 acknowledge any one az a P,odibitioRist asho
does not decoHs political partisan. This is
their iafrmtty, and u Is not Tess Jolly haa an
iRRrmny. Wisdom would dictate a broader
policy, and seek TO render ali possible friend
ships to the cause available for its advance
ment; and many Of us hope that wisdom will
yet prevail, and place the sacred cause before
the American people on its merits, and permit
The o1rocaey By pdiianthropists and patriots Of
all cresds and all political affiliations ,oittoat
defrimsnt % their Standing in church or party
and then will its ultimate success be assured"
With these declarations from
leaders in the great Methodist
church, largely composed of Prohi-
bitionists, it becomes a renewed
necessity to distinguish in newspa.
per discussion and otherwise be-
tween mere political Prohibitionist
between the mere partisans and
the members of a faction-and
those devoted Christians, philanthro-
pists and patriots who believe in
prohibition, but who do not, in mad
ness and folly, propose to destroy
every other political and moral re-
form in order to accomplish that
one reform. Mr.. st. John says that
the first duty of Prohibitiouists is
to Smash the Republican party"
Better Prohibitionists than he say
that no one class of Prohibitionists
should sheer at other classes, and
that it is "folly and infrmity" to
denounce as a non-prohibitionist any
one who "does not become a politi-
cal partisan"
If in the Northern States the
question of prohibition were di-
vorced from party politics, it would
have many more staunch and active
advocates than it has under existing
conditions. The Southern Prohibi-
tionists-largely composed of the
white Democracy-practice this sys-
tenn of moral strategy. They do
not mix their partisanship with pro-
hibition, but provide that all cleo
lions on that subject shall be special
and relate to that subject alone. If
in the Northern States the principle
of prohibition were submitted at
separate elections, it would receive
many thousands and thousands of
votes, which it cannot receive when
represented by list of candidates
without a chance to be elected and
every vote for whom is vote
thrown away. These declarations
from acknowledged organs of Meth
odism will do much to clear the at
mosphere and make plain the path
of political duty Chicago JouraaL

There are tariff Irregularities that
need revision, doubtless, and the
Republican party is ready to revise
them. But the Democratic policy
is not that Of revision of irregular
tiles, it is that of revolution of pur-
poses. Nor do we think that the
Republican party has to "admit the
need of tariff amendment, and to
excuse itself for not having made
it," For it is long since the Repub-

Shall The Majority Rule?

The bill to admit Southern Dako-
Ia as state has passed the Senate
The vote was divided on party lines,
Senator iliddleberger voting for the
bill, Notwithstanding his recent res
tiveness and threatening language.
The debate over this bill has been
one of considerable acrimony, in
which the suppression of the ballot
at the South by Kuklux and fraudu
lent practices has been strongly de-
nounced by Republicans Senators.
The only reply of the Southern Sen
ators to this charge was a repetition
of the false allegations relating to
the Presidential election in 1876.
These speakers, holding their Sena
torial seats through bulldozing at
the polls and rascality in counting
the votes, were particularly excited
and offensive in referring to the
connection Of Senator Sherman with
the result in Louisiana in the year
named. Their attacks were skIllful-
ly met and completely repealed.
The election in Louisiana in 1876
was carried by the Democrats, as
every election in that State since,
and especially as that of the present
year was carried by violence, terror
ism, and fraud. But in 1876 an in
telligent, honest and courageous re-
turning board faithfully canvassed
the vote, and rejected that portion
of it which was known to be fcti-
tious and fraudulent. They purged
the ballot-box of the villainy by
which it had been corrupted, and de-
clared that the Republican Presiden-
tial Electors had been chosen by a
majority of the legal votes of the
State. The electors so qualified
were included in the number which
gave President Hayes majority
over Tilden i'll the Electoral College,
and the result was affirmed by the
Electoral Commission.
Since that fatal year there has not
been an honest election in any of
the States that were in rebellion.
The sway of the white Kuklux oil
garchy over the ex-rebel States has
been complete. Elections have been
criminal farce. The armed min
GRITTY has driven away or kept away
the majority from the polls, or has
refused to count or has falsely count
ed their votes. Not a State that
was in rebellion has a government
"republican in FORM which the
United States is required by the
Constitution to guarantee. Not a
State that was in rebellion is entitled
under the Fourteenth Amendment
to its full representation in Congress
or in the Electoral College, for the
right of suffrage is abridged and
denied in those States to their citi-
zens by the operation of their laws
and by the fragrant practices of their
election officials.
This is the grayest question that
the people of the country have to
meet in the approaching election.
1t is to be decided whether a small
Southern minority, by intimidation
and crime, shall decide the election
of President and of a minority in
Congress, or whether the country
shall be governed by a majority of
the voters Chicago Journal

The democrats finding that they
could not gag the republicans of the
House in regard to the length of
time the tariff debate shall be al
lowed to continue, finally agreed to
give up twenty days, exclusive of
night sessions, to the general dis
cussion Of the Mills bill. They also
found that they would have to
divide the time equally between the
democratic and republican speakers.
There will be tariff speeches aud
tariff speeches, at the rate of from
five to six day from this time on
until the time allotted to this subject
expires. Representative Burrows,
of Michigan, who made the leading
speech for the republicans this week,
made an appeal TO the South in
which he warned it that the Mills
bill BODIED no good to that section.
Both the Senate and House have
passed the bill prohibiting pool
selling and book-making in the Dis
trict of Columbia. The Washington
Spring races began yesterday, and
the booksellers, on the day before,
taking it for granted that the Presi-
dent would approve the bill, moved
their rooms just outside of the city
limits.
