Press Opinions.
FREE WHIsKEY.

The PrOhibitiOnists, at their recent
National Convention, demanded "the
Immediate abolition of the internal
revenue SYSTEM" which of course in
cludes the Federal taxes on whiskev
and tobacco. The Voice says that. in
addition to this, they propose to bro
hlbit the manufacture of Intoxicating
liquors. Congress, having imposed
these taxes, has power to repeal them ::
but. as We assume, The Voice knows
that without a change of the COnstitu-
ton OF the United States, giving Con-
gress the power to prohibit the manu-
iacture of such liquors in the States
OF which there is not even the faintest
prospect-COngress has no such power.
Inc prohibition must be established. if
at all, by state authority. The time
is very distant in the future, when two
thirds of both Houses of Congress will
propose an amendment to the COnsti-
tuition giving Congress this power, and
When the Legislatures of three quarters
OF ali the states will ratifv such an
amendment. The Prohibitionists
therefore, for the present campaign
and certainly for very long time to
come, have unqualifedly and abso-
lutely adopted the " free whisky !"
principle so far as Federal taxation of
whisky and Federal prohibition in the
states are concerned. And yet neither
the New York Times nor the EUeainq
Post of this city-both of which papers
are very much exercised about what
they falsely call the free whisky "

seems to be not at all offended with

RUM AND IRREYERENCE.

The liquOr-trafic is connected with
everything which is vile and demoral-
izing. 1t is a direct foe to religion, not
only by rObbing the people of reason,
but by the atmosphere of irreverence
that fills the saloons.
Having occasion to send a telegram
suddenly, the Editor of this paper went
INTO the nearest Office, which was in a
large rum-shop. After transacting the
business, his attention was attracted
to a sign over the bar" DON'T

drew near to read it, and found the
word "of" in small letters after the

A new drink has been invented which
has the suggestive name 1.-THE quick

kills the quick, and sends the dead un-
prepared to judgment.

what influence we might have for his

MANY WON'T SEE IT THAT Way
The publisher of newspaper has one
thing to sell and one thing to rent.
Can any one inform us why he should
be expected to give away one or the
other? He can do so if he chooses
and does, as a matter of practical fact,
furnish a great deal of space rent free.
But it does not follow that he ought
to be expected to do it. 1t ought to
be recognized as a contribution exactly
as would the giving away of sugar OF
coffee by the groceryman. But strange
to say it is not looked upon in that
light at all, yet everybody knows that
the existence of a newspaper de-
pends as much on the rent Of its
space and the sale of the paper, as
the merchants success depends on
selling his goods instead of giving
them away.

zEKE COOPER AND THE N1GGER.

A good story comes to me from the
Monumental city. One of the Della
ware delegates to the Convention of
National League Democratic Clubs
which convened there on the Fourth" ,"
was the genial Zeke Cooper, of Dover.
The Delaware boys appear to have
taken along generous supply of " old
peach" ," and all of them were enabled
to keep in the best of humOr, specially
Zeke. 1t will be remembered that
there was quite a number of "cullud
gen men at the convention in the ca
pacity of delegates. Zeke took partic.
ular notice of this innovation upon
Democratic traditions, and though, as
before said, he was in a mellow frame
of mind and at peace with all the
world, yet this strange violation of well
established Democratic exclusiveness
kind o. riled him, that is in a mild way,
be it said. He stood it all right, how
ever, until the Thursday session. Then,
in the midst of particularly interest
ing debate, Zeke rose to his feet and
said
Mr.. Chairman"
1.-THE Hon. Ezekiel T. Cooper, of
Delaware" announced the chairman,
who knew Zeke personally and liked
him.
"Mr. Chairman" continued Zeke,
glancng over toward the cOiored con-
tingent with a curious expression of
mingled tOleration and contempt, all
I've got to say is that this conventions
got too much d nigger in it for me;
and / for QUE"
But before the sentence could be COM
pleted half dozen hands belonging to
Zeke's friends laid hold of his coat tails
and landed him in his seat, where
partly by persuasion and partly by
force he was induced to remain. Luck
lily but few persons clearly cOmpre-
hended Zeke's unfortunate remark, and
it passed off without resulting in any
serious abrasion of the colOred cuticle

Recent statements about the economic
and wise mother Of Napoleon show that
he, while always speaking to her in Italian,
wrote to her In French. How she ever
contrived to decipher his manuscript, IL
that also developed corresponding contor-
tons Of his signature, we cannot divine,
unless, indeed, as often happens, there Is
q way Of reading with the understanding
heart as well as the affectionate eye.
VIGOROUSLY bad writer's like Choate,
Greeley and Balzac have always some
body contemporaneous who can readily
interpret their hieroglyphics, and when a
noted western editor furnished copy that
any printer might suppose to be ancient
Egyptian, there was born into the world
q compositor in that town who preferred
IL to copper plate inscriptions and set 1t
up with celebrity and dispatch.
Tracing mans character by his hand
writing is deceptive unless we know the
mans career by heart, and then we d.
vine what Is not hidden. At the same
time 1t is not little curious to follow the
commissions of Napoleon's signature from
the obscure time of an artillery lieuten-
antcy to the victory of Austerlitz, the re-
treat from Waterloo and captivity on that
"lone, barren isle in the midst of the
ocean" We may not agree with the de-
auctions made from the specimens given,
but curiosity will be provoked and graft
fed In q peculiar way IL nothing else
