Tho Antl-saloon Movement.

The Anti-Saloon movement within the
Republican party of the nation was organ
lied at the conference held in Chicago on
September 16, 1886. Since that time events
which have occurred, especially the last cleo
tiOns in Pennsy lvania, Ohio and New \ ORR,
have demonstrated even more clearly than
had been demonstrated at that time that the
true course of the Republican party of the
nation is firm and steady movement
against the influence of the saloons, conduct
ed in the most practicable manner The
ground which che Chicago conference asked
the Republican party to take is thus sum-
married.: the saloon is the enemy of society,
and ought to be suppressed; the people Of
each State and municipality ought to have
the opportunity, whenever desired, OF de-
Gliding when and how this shall be done; I'M
til destroyed. the saloon ought to be crippled
by every restraint and disability which To-
cal public sentiment will enforce. and made
to reimburse as much as possible of the pub
lie loss 1t causes. The national committee
selected by that conference, or which Sena-
tor William p. Frye represents Maine, have
now issued the call for the second confer
ence to meet in New York city on the 18th
of next April. The platform of the con-
vention of 1855 said nothing about the inser-
ton of an ant-saloon plank in the national
platform Of the Republican party. The call
which has been issued for the second confer
enee sets forth as the special object of the
meeting such action as will assure and sig
nalize the complete withdrawal of the Ma
tional Republican party from all completely
with the saloon infamy," by the adoption OF
an anti-saloon plank at Chicago. "We be-
lieve" say the committee in their call. there
will no longer be the spectacle of political
party, which stands for all that is best in the
| political life of our people, ignoring in its
national utteranees political conflict which
annually stirs every community to its depths,
which dwarfs every other issue, and the re-
suit of which involves the future of human
society on this continent" The delbera-
lions of the conference of next month ought
to be well attended and well needed. In near
| ly every State where it is at all influential
in the conduct of AFFAIRS the Republican
party has taken stand against the saloon,
There is no good reason why the National
platform should be silent on a subject that is
today so deeply stirring the rank and file OF
| the party.

DEPEw's CHANCES.
Boston Record,]
Things seem to have changed entirely of
late in regard to Depew. Politicians all
over New York say that he can carry that
State, and. IL he can, there is no other man
in the Republican party who is so likely to
be put on the ticket as he. Looking at the
SO electoral votes all in lump, and those,
too, where the Democratic party candidate
normally halls from, it is very attractive
plum to hang before the delegates to the ma
tional convention. If Depew is weakened in
some quarters by the fact that he is presi-
dent Of great railroad, it undoubtedly gives
him strength in others, especially as his
presidency does not come from great wealth,
but because he is a smart, shrewd man who
has worked himself up to the place he now
holds, possibility to any nthar uannn '-~~-

Senator Brown, of Georgia, is not in favor
of dropping the tariff (which has enriched
the North just at the time when the South
is beginning to profit by it. Several other
Southern politicians think as Senator Brown
does, but the lines of party are little too
strong for them to break. But few more
iron furnaces in the South and a few more
Mills bills in Congress may have a wonder

The House has passed MIR. Dingley's bill
for the issue of fractional currency by a
large majority, and favorable action may be
expected in the Senate. The bill provides
for the issue of silver certificates of the de-
nominations of 10, 10, and % cents, to be
issued, paid and secured in the same man
ner as the 81 and So certificates. The argu-
ment that convinced the House of the wis
dom of the bill was the great Inconvenience
in transmitting small sums of money which
the people are now under. The sharp edges
of silver coin are liable to cut through enyel-
