LEAPS INTO FIRST PLACE.
The New Political Issue-Shall the Unio:a
be All IrOhlb!tOry:

DC All l'rOniDltOry.
Hereafter, rs Il consequence of the
prohibition decision of the Supreme
Court. the number OF prohibition States
will increase. and finally those which
are non-prohibitory will hold precisely
the same position that the slave States
did before the war. Freedom and sla-
very had been held by the Federal
courts to be local, and the doctrine of
the '.irrepressible conflict" followed as
a logical result So it will follow
again. We will have the doctrine of
the higher law repreached. and men
will contend that the Union must
be ell prohibitory or all other
wise, and that issue which the
court has now rolled back upon
the States will be reacted upon the
Union and become an issue in national
politics. As chattcl slavery was abol-
ished, leaving slaye-owners uncOmpen-
stated, even when they were loyal to
the Union, so it will be contended from
the standpoint of this decision that
Federal authority can destroy. without
compensation, the wine industry of
California and the brewing industry Of
Illinois, Wisconsin and Missouri.
1t it will be seen therefore that the
issue leaps into first place upon the
back of this decision, and those who
expect TO take par: in future politics
may as well prepare now for the dis
cussion.-San Francisco Aitu- Cdiifor-

THE FUNNY MAN.

Who is that man who sits and bites
H pen with aspect solemn?
He is the Fun Y Man who writes
The weekly Comic Column.
{ BY day he scarce can keep awake;
AT night he can not rest.
His meals he hardly dares to take
He jests, he can't digest
His hair, though not with years, is white,
His check is wan and pale,
And all with seeking day and night
For jokes that are not stale.
His Joys are few: the chiefest one
Is when by luck word
Suggests to him u novel pun
His readers haven't heard.
And when Yankee joke he sees
In some old Rockwell, then
Perhaps he gains moments ease,
And makes it do again.
The thought that chiefly makes him sign
Is that time must come
When Jokes extinct like mammoths lie,
And jokers must be dumb.
When every quip to death is done,
And every crank is told:
When men have printed every pun,
And every joke is old;
When naught in Heaven, or earth, or sea
Has not been turned to chat,
And not a single oddity
Is left to make US LAUGH.

THE POLITICAL CYCLONE,
As Viewed by Pair of Leading Party
Papers.

As Viewed by q Pair of Leading Party
Papers.
To show the effect of ''throwing your
votes away on the Prohibition party.
we give tho following significant utter
ances of two leading party papers:
The Troy Telegram, Il Republican
organ. says:
ut is as plain as the sun at MONDAY
in cloudless sky that the temperance
question is to be the next great issue in
American politics. Old time polisi-
clans and party hacks may sheer ut
this and deride the cranks and fools
who talk prohibition but ali the time
the ranks of the Prohibtionists are
swelling. for defeat acts on them. us
does his accustomed stimulant to the
devotee to spirituOus drink. Wise
party leaders should be getting ready
for this. for it is rs certain to come as
death"
The Brooklyn Citizen. Democratic
organ, says:
The meaning of this sudden and
enormous spread Of the Prohibitionist
idea ought to be plain to the least in
telligent observer. 1t is that prohibi-
ton can no longer be put aside as the
harmless mania of over-excited philan-
thropists. 1t may be n maria. but the
fact is plain to any person who cares
to see it that it has become power.
whether for good or evil is another
question. The Prohibition party has
been formed and from now on is bound
to take its place as powerful, per-
haps decisive. factor in national poll
ties. And before many years have
passed, perhaps before II second presi-
Dental election is upon us we are in
clined to believe that prohibition will
have form ed one of the two great par
ties

TEMPERANCE READING,
TOM JONES, THE PUBLICAN.

The other day, when was out
To breathe the gentle gales,
met Tom Jones, the publican.
Who keeps the Prince OF Wales.
What do you think he said, my love!
He whispered in my ear:
"Believe ne. Bill, you're not so strong
AS when you drank my beer;
You are pale and thin;
A little gin
Your sinking frame would cheer
'Come along with me- said he,
And took me by the hand:
'Once you were gay and jolly. Bill
The merriest in the land.
wondered what strange crochet
Had got into your brain
When some one told me you resolved
Never to drink again.
Without it, Bill,
You never will
Be healthy, that is plain
ibid not say twas Cannon, love,
For that was not polite;
But this said: well, Mr.. Jones,
III am wrong. you're right:
Yet notwithstanding all you say
About being thin and pale,
l feel Tn better. stronger far,
Than when took your ale;
For now eat
Tee best Of meat
lily body to regale."
also told him this, NY love,
That which we called a bed
The straw that in one corner lay
And crazy chars had fei:
That now had a happy home,
Well furnished and so neat
Where trips about y tidy wife,
So charming and so sweet;
And children rise,
With laughing eyes.
Run out their sire to meet.
While thus talked of joys, my love,
That drink could never buy.
BE took his hand from mine, my love,
And went away SO shy,
As If he felt ashamed. my love,
OF doing something mean,
While felt GLAD and happy, love,
That so firm had been
AS to repel
The tempter's spell,
To keep my mind serene.

Why the Democratic Party Ii Called Wits
ky-Soaked.
Another Southern Democrat writes
us:
II don't like your attacks on the
Democratic party. That party has
given us every scrap of temperance
legislation we have in the South. True.
it has been lax in the enforcement Of
these laws. but whatever of temperance
law or enforcement we have had is due
to that Democratic party which you
say is ''rum-soaked.
4 word friend: How is your party
nationally? How are your Democratic
representatives voting on the liquor
question in Congress? Do they not.
with the exception of Colquitt and
few others. vote solid nearly every timo-
for the liquor interest? Who is it that
votes the saloon into the Capitol
building at Washington each session?
Largely your representatives. and
your representatives are you. How
did your delegates vote on the Anti
Sumptuary plank in yournational plat
form of 1884? They voted for it, that
is against Prohibition, and just rs the
liquor men wanted them to vote. Can
party be nationally wrong and local
ly right? The Democratic party is the
strong right arm of the whisky power
in the North. while the Republican
party is the strong right arm Of the
hapr nowar Tho Snu1h is tho STRENGTH
of the Democratic party. and the North
is the strength of the Republican par
ty. Neither section can escape the re-
sponsibility for its national party. Ma
tionally the Democratic party is whis-
ky-soaked. and the Republican party IS
beer-soaked. Come friends. North ard
South. and join party whose hands
are free from the liquor curse.-M !.

SIR GEORGE TREvELYAS, NJ p. in
his speech at Carnarvon the other day,
referred to the question OF the liquor
traffic. He said that on his estate there
had been no public-house for thirty
years. and the consequence was there
had grown up race of people who are
as different as possible fro5a those who
live where drink is sold. There is NO
pauperism. and absolutely there is nc
discomfort with the system. Thirty
years ago every body used tc blame
his predecessor for his policy. but now
it is envied in the neighborhood. Why,
!; he asked. should not the people be al.
lowed to do for themselves what he and
his had done for them?

slender form of publicity. Per-
haps that is one reason why actions
for breach-of-promise of marriage arc
SO seldom brought in Scotch courts;
but suits for divorce are equally rare
among our Northern ncighborS. In
the United States, where facilities fol
marriage are greater than they arc
anywhere else among E lglish-s peak
ing people. cases of breach-of-promise
are also few in number; but. unlike
Scotland. divorces in America are by
no means uncommon.
In the old Grecian and Roman
States the way TO married LIE was just
as easy rs in the States of the new
world; but there certain physical re-
quirements were at one time insisted
upon. A Spartan law forbade mar
riage until men and women arrived
at their full strength. and there was
an Athenian regulation that men
should not marry until they were
thirty-tive. The Atheniaas at the
same time favored married mer. Civ
ing them the preference when vacan-
c'es occurred in official life.
The Rom ans did the same. They
would help married man SO far that
if he had not reached the age limit as
signed for position. as many of the
years were dispensed with as he had
children. These favors did not alto
gether succeed as marriage bait

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: saw in THE
NATIONAL TRIBUNE of March 1 an article
written by G. T. Hartly, Gath H., on the fight
in the Salkahatebie Swamp, S. G. think I
can throw some light on the subject
Our brigade, composed of the 10Th H., 25th
Ind. and 32d Wis, helped drive the Johnnies
into aud across the swamp on the evening OF
Feb. ., 1865, and were then relieved and went
back to dry ground to camp.
at daylight the next morning Gen. Joe
Mower, who accompanied our division, led US
into the swamp, aud we were there all day.
About p. IN. the rebels were fanked and we
crossed over. The loss in our regiment was 81
in killed and wounded. Capt Eckels, Of Co. Z,
was killed in the swamp. Therefore, when at
3 p. m of the second day the 64th H. came into
the swamp our boys had already whipped the
Johnnies and cleared the way for them, and
those minie-balls and shells, which the 9th
Ill. had so much fun listening to, were heard
by those in front with feelings quite the oppo-
site of funny. After the capture Of the works
