Prohibitioninthe South.


The letter Of Bishop Galloway To the Mis-
sissippi prohibition convention Is calculated
to please all those who think that the temper.
ance issue should he kept out OF party poll
tics 1t 10 also calculated to crafty the
democratic politicians OF the south. Blsho OF
Galloway has a wide influence in that section,
and his advice will 90 far toward preventing
the nomin alton OF prohibition tickets down
there. That 10 what the democrats want-in
the south; but 1t is not what they want In
the north. In any state where there Is q
republican majority they are quite ready TO
encourage the nomination OF such tickets
and prohibtionlsts who have heretofore bee n
republicans allow themselves to be used In
that way for democratic purposes, regardless.
OF the fact that prohibitiouists who have
heretofore been democrats never rec procale
In any state where there Is a democratic ma
jority. In fact the democratic prob ltionist Is
does not cease to be "A democrat except upon
the one question OF the suppression of the
liquor traffic; aud even on that issue he W III
not so vote ms 10 do the democratic party an
injury IL lie can possibly avoid IL There are
tens OF thousands OF men in the south who
are devoted to the cause OF prohibitio an Il
anxious To have IL succeed, but who are very
careful nevertheless, not 10 cast anti e
democratic vote under anv circumstances.
1t Is not IT all probable that IL Bishop
Galloway were living in New York or In
diana, instead Of Mississippi. he would be at
all solicitous about keeping prohibition out Of
party politics. lie would be very willing in
such a case, we are sure, To have separate
ticket In the field, inasmuch as the effect
could only be 10 draw votes from the re-
Iublicans and promote the chances OF demo =
cratic success. Ii is very nice TO say that
prohibition should not be made a political
Issue Ia the south; but If the men who so
contend were perfectly candid aud consist
ent, they would urge that the same rule be
observed la the north. IL II be wrong TO
nominate a prohibition tctet In Mississippi,
then why is 1t not equally wrong TO nominate
one In New York, or any other northern
statei 1fe fact is that the prohibition lead
ers In the south, all being democrats, are de-
termined To carry on the crusade against the
saloons without permitting the republican
party TO gain the least advantage from any
OF their operations They know that the
election OF a prohibition candidate for presi-
dent Is utterly impossible, and they do not
propose. IL they eau help IL, that any votes
shall be thrown away upon such q candidate
In any democratic state That Is what they
mean when they contend that prohibition is
a strictly moral question. They are no less
democrats because they are connected with
this reform and their republican brethren OF
the north should not for a moment suppose
that they will ever consent To any COM
promise in that respect-St Luis GLOBE

The tariff issue Is the one paramount div.
iding principle between the two parties One
fsyors the collection OF revenue from imports,
and at the same time the protection OF Amer
lean Industries; the other fsvors revenue
from internal taxation aud imports only for
public expenses, regardless OF protection,
which really means no protection. This is
the straight, clear issue. aud on this the peo-
pie are asked 10 cast their votes. Not sim
gle ballot can be polled this fall that will not
have direct effect on this question. Ii is
the main one and about the only one that
makes distinct issue between the two par
ties. The attitude OF these parties ia too
well known for a mistake 10 be at all possible.
This falls election will declare the American
policy regarding her great present and greater
future industrial possibilities. On cdgo Cur

SCHOOL CENSUS OF FLORIDA.

We call attention to the very interest
ing census of the youth of the State, as
computed by Hon. A. J. Russell, Super
intendent of Public Instruction, from the
census taken in each county by the as
SCISSORS of taxes, as the law directs. The
increase since 1884, when the last census
was taken, is very strong exhibit of the
rapid increase of the population Of Flor
ida, and were it not that the values of
property are increasing in even greater
ratio, the necessity for more liberal ap-
preparations on the part of the Legisla-
ture would be startlingly manifest.
The difference in increase of school
population between the whites and me-
groes is of Importance, in view of the
