NEW YORK PRoHIBIrIoNIsTs.

The Prohibitionists of New York State
should see the folly of longer continuing
hopeless fight, and reasoning with
themselves conclude to work IN a way to
accomplish the most good. As they are
going they are Simply doing nothing for
the advancement of the great and good
cause of temperance. 1t doesn'. injure
the LIQUOR business for the Prohibition
lists to cast 80 600. so 600 or 10000 votes
in New York. 1t is not annoying, ex
cept in a sentimental sort of way, to
the whisky sellers for the temper
ance people to poll any number
of votes for temperance candidates for
Office, so long as the number of votes is
not a majority; and there seems as
little probability of the Prohibition bal
lots outnumb .ring the others as there
is of Texas going back on Democracy,
or Kansas getting over the notion that
the nation would go to the dogs if the
State were to be otherwise than IN
sanely Republican. Noble as is the
principle of temperance, and desire its
as much as we may, we can
not deny the fact that Its hold upon
the average American citizen is not as
firm as is the grip of the principles of
the great political parties. The
individual THINKS that as long as

PECULIAR REASONING.

Said real estate dealer to this writer
1--WE cannot have a boom here, for
thu great majority of the people are
not disposed 10 sell their property, and
the few who are willing to sell ask more
than the land is worth" The reason
ing struck US as decidedly peculiar,
and vet it is in line with the reasoning
advanced by many of those who are
irving r. stimulate boom. The argu-
ment Is certainly peculiar. People own
houses and lots in the city; they live
here because it pleases them to do SO,
this being their home; and because they
are not willing TO sell out and clear
ont thew are charged with interfering
with boom, and indirectly with stand
ing in the way of the eity's progress.
What the talk above quoted means is
that the real estate man would have
the present owners of property sell
their land at lew price, and leave the
city. a new lot of people coming in.
After there had been e complete
change of population and ownership,
it is presumed that our dealer would
like to have the thing done over again
IN the came manner. In that way
there could be steady and constant
boom"
Now. we taxe it 5hEt the real estate

as anybody else what their land is

the least, were they to sell. We don't

no figure in contest he will
satisfy his moral conscience and work
with the temperance people; but when
he sees that his vote will count, he is
very apt to satisfy his political con-
science, and let the temperance cause
take care of itself while he goes to the
rescue of his party. Of course this
doesn't apply to all, for there are many
good and earnest men who would rather
be on the losing side eternally than
desert principle; but it applies to that
individual whom we designate as the
ordinary American citizen. The truth
of this has been demonstrated many
times, and was clearly proven in the
late election in New York.
For years the Prohibitionists have
been steadily gaining in the State. In
1894 they cast % DOL votes. These are
not many it is true, but it showed that
a goodly number of the men of voting
age in the Empire State were
favorably disposed towards temper
ance. The next year they gained
more than 5000, their bal
lots then amounting to 1867. In 1886
there was similar gain, the total then
being 36,414, and in 1887 another 5000
increase is recorded, the votes footing
up Al $50. 1t should be borne in mind
that during all these years there was
deemed to be no really clos, contest
which the Prohibitionists could affect
between the Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. True, in 1884 the large Prohibi-
ton vote was respor sible for the cleo
ton of Mr.. Cleveland, but the cold
water people were not aware Of what
they were doing when they pulled so
vigorously for their own ticket. This
year all realized that the contest would
be close, and that the fate of the Re-
publican party depended upon the size
of the Prohibition vote. Fifty thousand
Prohibition ballots meant the defeat OF
Harrison and the death of Republican
ism; ordinarily, estimated from the
past, that would have been the number
of temperance votes; but Prohibitionists
saw the danger, and loving their old
parties more than they did the new, es-
pecially as they could do their own
cause no good, they returned to the Or
CARNATIONS which they had left in obe-
dience to a sentiment; and instead of
casting $4,000 votes for Prohibition can
didates, polled only 10000; or, to be
exact, 1859 less than they polled a
year ago. This tells the story, and tells
it so plainly that the Prohibitionists
themselves should not deafen their
ears to it. They should quit "play-
ing" with politics as an organization
which hoped to win by itself and
through its own efforts. They should
work with that party which promises
most for the cause of temperance. In
that way their efforts would not be
wasted as they will be while as parti-
sans they endeavor to establish Prohi-
bition in the great State of New York.

DEmoCR ATS MUST GO.

The New York Sun, commenting edi-
toriaIly on a remark by Civil Service
Refosmer Dorman B. Eaton, to the effect
that while President Harrison will no.
remove officials with the speed that
scme apprehend, there will neces-
sarily be changes "ior purely business
reasons" says: The fact is, Harrison
will turn the Democrats out of office
neck and heels as fast as he can, just as
Cleveland ought to have turned the
Republicans out four years ago, for
purely business reasons"
The further fact is, if Harrison does
not turn the Democrats out OF othce
neck and heels as fast as he can, tour
vesrs from nov the people will turn
President Harrison out neck and heels
Just as they have just done with Presi-
dent Cleveland. In this republican
country the people are the power and
they will have things their way. At
the election in 1884 the people said they
wanted scharge; that they were tired
of Republican partisan rule, and de-
siysd Democrats in the Offices. They
did not say this merely as to the occu-
pant of the White House. So far as
the one man is concerned, 1t is very
little difference to the masses whether
Grover Cleveland or Ben. Harrison
draws $4,000 a year from the
Treasury, but it makes a great
deal of difference to the masses whether
100 600 Democrats or 100000 Republi-
cans fill the Federal offices throue hout
the nation. In 1884 the people declared
for Democrats, but Mr.. Cleveland
thought he knew better what was
wanted, and he interposed between the
popular demand and its fulfllment,
with the result that on the 9Th instant
the people moved him aside, and issued
the decree that Republicans must rule,
not merely in the White House. but
throughout the Republic. Harrison
will obey the decree. first, because
he wants to and second, because
he dare net, as Cleveland did, dis
obey the rHlers of theAmerican Nation
the people. Four years hence the
people may have changed their minds.
They may by that time have concluded
that they didn't understand the situa-
ton in 1883, and were not familiar with
the question upon which they voted;
but meantime their proclamation has
been issued and right OF wrong, they
will expect compliance with its re-
uuirements. If they have made mis-
take, as THE HERALD sincerely believes
thew have, they will correct it in their
own way. but will not permit General
Harrison to reverse their present wishes
and rebuke them by failure to obey
their commands.
The Democrats must go, and it would
be wrong for them to try to stay.

THE OHIO ORATOR.
The Best Protectionist Speech of
the Debate.

WASHINGTON, May 1S.-In his talk
on the tariff Mr.. Mckinley began speak
ing at 1880. A large body of members
carried their chairs from their desks
and seated themselves about the gentle
man from Ohio, who began by saying
that his objection to the reductions pro-
posed by the Mills bill was not to the
reductions themselves, but to the man
ner of making them. The representa-
tiveS in the house, he said, had for
years been ready to reduce duties, but
insisted that the internal tax should be
first reduced. If the first reductions in
this line had been made two years ago,
when the Republicans wanted it done,
there would be no surplus i'll the treas
ury to-day to interfere with the COM
merce and business of the country. He
welcomed the issue raised by the presi-
dent. 1t gave to the people and their
representatives the opportunity to con-
suit together and reach a conclusion
which, as Republican, he did not fear.
Mr.. Mckinley here entered into defin-
itiOn of revenue tariff and a tariff for
protection. He held that low duties in
creased the revenue because it effected
increased importation. A genuine rev.
enue imposed no duty Oh the consumer:
it came from the foreign producer,
whose profits it decreased. Mr.. Nc
Kinley completed at 2:40 what was
considered by many as the best protec-
zionist speech of the debate, and he was
enthusiastically applauded and congrat-
ulated by his party colleagues.
