The Prohibition Amendment.

1t is not probable that this congress will
vote to submit to the states for ratification
the amendment of the federal constitution,
prohibiting the liquor traffic in the United
States, which was faYorably reported to the
senate a few days ago by the committee on
education. Indeed it is doubtful if the next
congress, or even the successor will do so.
Some Of the senators who voted to report
the amendment favorably, will not support
it, because they do not believe it is a wise
measure. They voted for favor
able report in order that the thousands of
people who had signed petitions in favor of
the amendment might have a chance to
have it discussed under the most favorable
circumstances.
There are great many strong arguments
against the amendment. One of them is,
that it would deprive the states of local
police power so far as whisky is concerned,
and would clothe the federal courts with
extraordinary authority.
The adoption of the amendment would be
SO great a step in the direction of centraliza-
ton that even prohibitionists would protest
against it, There is no doubt that the
whisky evil is a great one but the people
of this country are not yet ready to go to
the length proposed by this amendment for
its suppression. The time may come when
they will be ready to do so, but if it ever
does, it will not be until they are educated
in the direction of prohibition to a far
greater extent than they now are.
OF course there is something to be said
for the amendment 1t is contended, for
instance, that the states separately cannot
deal with this whisky evil because it is i'm
possible to get them to act together harmo-
niously. One state may adopt measures to
prohibit or restrain the traffic in intoxicantS,
while an adjacent state may have no laws
on the subject whatever. 1t is asserted,
therefore, that without uniformity very lit
tie can be done TO suppress the liquor evil
There are many questions involved in the
proposed amendment, some of which are
very important ones. They are so impor-
tant, in fact, that there is no probability
that congress will act upon the proposed
| amendment hastily. 1t is certain that it
will not act favorably upon it until
public sentiment in favor of it is much
stronger than at present

Thew Have Found the Trusts.

The republicans have at last admitted
that there are combinations known as trusts,
the purpose of which is to increase the prices
Of the various articles in which the trusts
are interested They have steadily ignored
these combinations, because their party,
throughout its existence has always been
the friend of monopolies
In the debate in the house day or two
ago the republicans tried to make it appear
that the democrats were upholding the
sugar trust, because they refused to agree
to a further reduction in the sugar duties.
Mr.. Mills, however, told them that trusts
and monopolies owed their existence to the
republican party, which had always pro
tected them He somewhat alarmed the
republicans by telling them that the demo-
Gratis intended to give them a chance to vote
on these trusts and monopolies before the
end of the present session.
In the senate, on Tuesday, Senator Sher-
man offered resolution, which was adopted,
requiring the finance committee TO report
a measure to restrain, control and prohibit
all arrangements, contracts, agreements,
trusts or combinations that tend to prevent
free competition in dealing in articles of
domestic growth or production, or imported
from abroad, or that tend to foster monop-
oily or advance artiicially the cost to con-
sumers of necessary articles of human life"
This resolution, and the action Of the repub-
licans in the house, looks very much as If
the republican leaders thought it was about
time they made an effort to convince tho
people that their party was tho enemy of
monopoles and trusts. By assuming that
attitude they hope, doubtless, to gain popu-
larity with the opponents of monopo-
lies. When their party was in power, how
ever, it had nothing to say against monopo-
lies. Indeed, so late rs last Jan
uary, Senator Sherman, in commenting
on that part of the Presidents mes sage
which called attention TO the danger to be
apprehended from trusts, said that the
President ought to specify the trusts, as he
knew of no such combinations.
He has, it seems, finally discovered these
combinations, and he wants his party TO
gain a little glory in the present campaign
by pretending to be against them. He will
not succeed, however, in doceiving the peo-
pie. They cannot be made to believe
that the republican party intends to take
any action hostile to monopolies or trusts
Its record is aganstit, and, besides, Senator
Shermon's assertion in January, that he
knew of no trusts, is sufficient to raise a
question of its sincerity now.

Let the Hon. William f. Chandler keep
one eye on his state, New Hampshire, while
he looks southwark with the other. Mr..
Frank Jones, national democratic commit
teeman for that state, reports very strong
inclination toward tariff reform there, and
names several large manufacturers who are
willing to throw the weight Of their influ-
ence in favor of the democrats. Mr.. Jones
has been talking over the situation with
Mr.. Cleveland. He is very shrewd poll
tician, and it would hardly be profitable for
the republicans to ignore his efforts to
snatch New Hampshire out of the repub-
lican column.

Though San Francisco failed to capture
the democratic national convention, she has
got the next biggest thing, in the shape of
the national educational association, which
convenes there next Tuesday, and which it
is expected will be attended by fully 10000
delegates The association is divided into
ten departments, and these will meet after
moons at the different halls aud consider
special subjects. The convention will open,
however, with mammoth reception at the
Mechanics exposition pavilion, at which
Gov Waterman and Mayor Pond will de-
liver addresses of welcome, and music will
be furnished by chorus Of 600 voices and
an orchestra OF seventy-five pieces. II San
Francisco can entertain a big association
such MS this, she can entertain a national
convention.

Observant Pennsylvanians are discussing
the connection between artesian wells and
population. In the town Of North
Wales several artesian wells were Sunk on
private premises and the result in those
homes is said to be plentiful supply of
good water and half dozen pair of twin
babies. In the villages of Newtown and
Argyle there is considerable excitement
over the driving of wells In the last
named town fifteen wells have just been
driven, and it is expected that the next
census will show a considerable Increase in
population.

Some of the congre 'smen must have
smiled the other day when the chaplain Of
the house, in abiding to Mr.. Randall,
prayed for divine blessing and protection"
in his behalf. Mr.. Randall has been urged
repeatedly by his physician lately to allow
himself a brief season of rest, but he could
not find a convenient point at which to be-
gin his vacation. He is physically one of
the best preserved men in the house, and at
the expiration of his present term will have
served twenty-six years consecutively in
that branch Of congress. Though men may
differ from him in their views on some
questions, his honesty and integrity are
conceded on all hands, and he is to-day. it
is said, poorer than he was when he first
took his seat in congress.

OF Interest to Colored Voters.

From the NetC York Times CIiId.)
But there is no doubt that considerable col
ored vote will go to Mr., Cleveland both in the
north and the south. The President has won
the confidence Of large number of the best
men OF the race, not by any special favoritism,
but by his quiet impartialty, his steady ignor
ing OF the question of race. The truth has also
sunk into the minds of the colored men that the
republican managers have been very selfish in
their pretended friendship.

quest, and has never passed an examina-
