THE political Prohibitionists have
adopted the conceit that their organiza-
tion resembles the old Free Soil or Lib
erty party of 1840'54, which became
the nucleus of the Republican party.
The comparison is not happy one.
The Free Soil leaders were not sorehead
renegades from the Whig and Democrat
ic parties. They did not carry on polit-
ical campaigns for the purpose of de-
feating the Democrats and exalting the
Wings, or oice oerSa. They carried no
political campaigns under false pretens-
es. They sought to prevent the spread
of slavery, and did not hesitate to use
both Democrats and Wings to accom-
plish their purpose.
In Ohio the Free Sellers used the
Democratic party to send Salmon P.
Chase to the United States Senate, and
a few years later they utilized the Wings
to send Ben Wade to the same body
They did not set up candidates for Con-
gress in districts represented by such
Wings as Joseph NJ. Root, Thaddeus
Stevens and John Quincy Adams, or in
districts represented by such Democrats
as Jacob Brinkerhoff, David WilmOt
and John Wentworth. To them Free
soil Democrat, or Free-soil Whig, was as
good as a member of their own party and
when either Democrats or Wings nomi-
mated such men for the State Legisla-
ture or for Congress, the Free Soilers to
a man, rallied to their support. In that
way the Free-son party exerted a pow
erful influence upon legislation, though
it never carried State-never of its
own strength carried a single Congress
ional district, and perhaps not single
county, in the Union.
The Free Soilers maintained their or
ganiZation at their own expense and
would have scorned to accept financial
aid from either Whig or Democratic
committees. They did not carry on active
campaigns in Indiana, New Jersey, New
York, Connecticut and other States for
the benefit of the Democratic party in
the consideration of the payment by
that party of so many thousands of dol
lars. Neither did Free soil candidates
for Governor or President demand or re-
ceive $50 to 500 for each and every
speech made in advocacy of their ticket.
1t Is not necessary to inquire why the
political Prohibitionists are, in this
Presidential campaign, confning their
efforts to Indiana, New York, New Jer-
sey and Connecticut. The reason is
avowed. AS between the Republican
and Democratic parties those States are
supposed to be in doubt, and the Prohi-
bitiOn leaders have made themselves the
tools of German, Brice and Barnum-
have agreed, in consideration of the
payment of large sums of money, to do
their best to turn the doubtful States
over to Cleveland
Gen. Fisk was nominated for the rea-
son that he lives in New Jersey, and it
was supposed that he would draw to
himself sufficient votes to give the cleo
toral vote of the State to Cleveland, and
he himself but recently wrote a letter
indorsing Cleveland, and virtually ad-
vising Democratic Prohibitlonists to
vote for him. All this in the name of
conscience politics"-in the name of
religion and morality!-O.

LOVE one human being with warmth
and purity, and thou wilt love the world.
The heart, in that celestial sphere of
love, is like the sun in its course. From
the drop in the rose, to the ocean, all is
for him mirror, which he fills and
brightens.

Why Men Fail.

Few men come up to their highest
measure of success. Some fail
through timldlty, or lack Of nerve.
They are unwilling to take the risks
incident to life. and fail through fear
IN venturing on ordinary duties.
They lack pluck. Others fail through
imprudence, lack of discretion, care.
or sound judgment. They over-esti-
mate the future, and build air cas-
ties, and venture beyond their depth,
and fail and fall. Others, again, fail
through lack of application and per-
severance. They begin with good
resolves, but soon get tired Of that,
and want change, thinking they
can do much better at something
else. Thus they fritter life away,
and succeed at nothing. Others
waste time and money, and fail for
want of economy. Many fail through
ruinous habits tobacco, whisky and
beer spoil them for business, drive
their best customers from them, and
scatter their prospect of success.
Some fail for want of brains, educa-
tiOn and fitness for their calling
they lack knowledge of human ma
ture and of the motives that actuate
men. They have not qualified them.
