TO the Editor.of the Intellioencer: :
Sir-May I, through your col
umns, say a word that ought to in
terest many Republicans in the
State? am in receipt of the fol-
lowing communication, which will
explain itself:
Dave D. johnson Chairman En-,
ecastive Committee, Prohibition Party.
Dear Sir:-A prominent Repub-
lican came in to day to say that he
hoped that every effort possible
would be made to prevent the Pro
hibition party from making nomi-
nations at their meeting liz this
month.
He said he had made it his bus
mess to see most of the prominent
Republicans Of the city and county
and he found that, almost without
exception, they told him that if
the Prohibition party made nami-
nations in the State they would
vote against tho Amendment ,otker-
wise they'll vote for it. He said he
should vote for the Amendment
under any cireu instances, but his
party friends held this attitude be-
cause they regarded the new party
as hostile to the Republican party.
| want you to understand the
situation here. / am convinced
that the appointment Republicans
referred to are of those who are
seeking an excuse for voting
against the Amendment.
Some of US have been willing to
temDorizs with them, but am
fast coming to the conclusion that
if they do not have the Prohibition
party for an excuse for voting
against the Amendment they will
find ether reason.
Very truely,
J. Ell CAMMAcK.
Is this not remark able exhi.
bition Of spite? And that too, to
come from the atyocates Of "free
ballot2" This prominent Repub
lican" / know well, and he is a re-
liable gentleman. Mr. 'Caga mack
is a member of the Prohibition
party Executive Committee.
Are the @leading Republicans
really about to assume this atti-
tude towards the AmendmentY
They who have boasted that they
have been the friends of the amend
ment in West Virginia, that their
Representatives in the Legislature
have uniformly voted for sabmis-
sion, and that the principle sup
port OF the Amendment at the
polls would come from that party ?
And are they just now about to
show their true collars?
They ought co know that moth
ing will make Prohibition party
votes faster than this systematic at
tempt at bulldozing Il will rot
deter the party from making NOM
nations. Our Convention meets
at Parkersburg July 81, and will
nominate State ticket without
fear or favor, appealing to free
people for its support just as any
other party may do. Our party
must stand upon it's own merits
regardless of the Amendment.

A FLAW In the representative apportion-
ment bill passed by the last legislature has
been discovered. New Ringg old, Dor.
ough in Schuylkill county, Is not included
in representative district, and the voters
there cannot vote for member OF the leg
islaturo New Ringgold borough WAS
originally a portion OF East Brunsw ick
township, but 1t was set of from the latter
In 1880 and created into q borough. Under
the law 1t continued az a part OF the Third
legislative district OF Schuylkill county,
becsuse East brunswick township was
made part OF the district under the appor-
tionment act of 1874 When tho new bill
WAS passed at the last session New Ring.
gold borough should have been placed in
some one OF the four districts OF that county.
1t was evidently the Intention Of the
trainers OF the bill to place 1t In the old
Third district, where contiguous township pa
and boroughs arc located, but II was omit
ted entirely, and now tho voters OF the
borough want to know what Is to be done
about IL.
Some lawyers contt nd that the emission
OF this borough imrairs the validity OF the
bill ~ IL now stands. 1t is suggested that
the supreme court can convene, Coz
slider the intent OF tho legislature and as
sign tho borough to It's old district. The
matter Will be plsced before the governor,
and 1t may bs possible that an extra session
OF the legislature will have 10 be called tc
remedy what Is now considered a serious
defect In the law. The last legislature has
history for errors which prots bly, was
never a. marked in previous sessions. The
bluuder In the revenue bill was the ono oI
most maguitute.

THE arrival last week OF some two hun
dred small children OF New York at the
Cham mbersburg station strongly impressed
tho people OF that good oity with the merit
OF the fresh air idea which IL being applied
on a small but steadily increasing scale In
several Of tho large cities. Any one who
has noted the misery OF the little wrstches
who are Obliged to pass the warmest day 10
OF summer In the sitting, dusty and un.
healthy atmosphere OF the poorer quarters
of New York or Philadelphia, will appre.
ciate the charity OF the plan that gives some
OF them two weeks stay In the oouairy.
The country people are usually eager to
receive these little people, and the cost Of
sending away a large number Ia relatively
small. Most OF them know moth Ing of the
open country, having lived In city streets
from Infancy, and the Chsmbersburg Val
ley Spirit tells OF one boy of six, who ex-
claimed when he saw q ock OF very young
chickens, "Why, they have no clothes on."
This charity has the double advantage of
appealing to kind hearted people of both
city and country, and there are enough to
give all the city children taste OF nature In
the summer. i. Is an idea worthy of de-
vslopmeut on more liberal scale, and The
Tribune and other metropolitan Journals
are pushing 1t for ward nobly In New York,
having planned this and another invasion
OF Franklin county.

Rad Luck Attends Him,

The Republican Intent to have Mr..
Blaines arrival upon his native shore
give q boom to their canvass was good
enough, but the amount of execution
done by the event has not come up to
expectation. The gun was fired too soon;
1t would have been better il Mr.. Blaine
had appeared after the canvass had got
under hesdwsy and the excitement
had got to pitch where his
magnetic presence could have added
to it; and of course it would have been
much moro sat 'acttry IL the prepara
tions made to meet him had been re.
warded with his presence at the hour set
for his coming. 1t Is bad thing for a
wedding march when tie bridegroom
tarries even though it be not his fault, but
that of some bursted engine that was re-
lied on to bring him up to time. There
is always favor of blasted hopes about
such disappointment, and people in
cline to suspect that bad luck in the
future is bound to attend so poor be-
ginning. The like impression fastens
upon the unfortunate Inauguration of a
political campaign.
Mr.. Blaine has not yet done anything to
set his party on its legs in this canvass ;
he did not give happiness and unity to
the nominating convention, and did not
turn up at the zig parade prepared for the
welcome home again. 1t may not have
been his fault, but only his and party's
misfortune and both care more for mis-.
fortune than for fault.
Cleveland's luck is the great shadow
upon Republican expectation and on
top Of it they have the bad luck that
Blaine manage, to bring them. They
were defeated under these influence
once and do not seem to have reason no
fora lively hope that they have been dis.
PEELED.
All that Mr.. Blaine offers them as
the buoy of their salvation is the demand
for the imposition of such tariff duties q,
will prevent the importation Of pound
Of anything that can be produced IN this
country. This is the Republican plan fol
reducing the tariff revenue; and is simple
enough to be comprehended and silly
enough to be rejected by every Intelligent
voter. The only other thing that wat
said by Mr.. Blaine to his countrymen il
the first speech he has made upon his re
turn from Europe, was that the creates
int rest was felt In that region ii
the political battle here, and tina
the Democratic party had all the foreign
sympathy. This statement having beer
csbled across the ocean has met with 9
prompt and clear denial by the English
newspapers, which declare that little In
terts is taken in our political struggle
and that no benefit or injury to European
trade is expected from it. M. Blaine il
not at all above making a misrepresenta
tion to effect political object. Hi
craftsmanship is not on a high plane, ant
his character not on higher one.

The National ASS.

Americans feel most keenly the sting
of truth in the common criticism Of our
social economy, that snObbery and fun
keyism are as rank and offensive In GER
tain parts Of this republic as they are In
England, and although We have the con
ISOLATION that it is only in the cities that
an aristocracy seeks to establish itself on
the false basis of wealth and birth, we
cannot be blind to the fact that this idea
OF caste, 80 foreign to democratic theory
and practice, is gathering strength. There
is, particularly in New England, dis
position to ask the name of mans
great grandfather rather than to inquire
as to his intellectual standard, refine.
ment and character, and the na ion is
greatly In need Of a Dean Swift to hold
this idea up to ridicule. The fact
that the son OF man OF note some.
times inherits his mental and moral
strength, as well as education and wealth,
is not broad enough for the foundation
of an aristocracy within a republic. The
only one that can exist, and escape the
hate and scorn OF the people, must be
founded solely on the worth of the man.
Though hereditary and inherited advan-
tages may secure the guinea stamp of
social rank more easily for some,
this advantage should only stimulate
worthy men to rise without 1t
and wherever American society is In
healthy condition those who 30 rise are
received with cordial recognition, and
nobility of character is the only patent
Of nobility that is really respected.
Where any other standard exists the
sting Of this comment from Lie will be
keenly felt: 1t is due to the strange
paradox that, while We admit the supe-
rlority of the American idea, we refuse
to follow it to conclusion, that We have
m sde a national ass of ourself."

French Spollatlon Claims.


The final vote on the measure for the
payment OF French ,poilation claims will
come up before the House an early date,
and will probably meet with much oppo-
sition on the old ground that the claims
are for damages consequent upon state
Of war, and are, therefore, invalid.
1t suited the United States to consider
these claims valid In its settlement with
France, when both nations clos d &C.
counts on the ground that there had
betn no war. This question has been
threshed over 80 often in the generations
since the settlement, and the justice OF
the claim on the government has been so
firmly established that 1t seems strange
men can be found In Congress to oppose
payment.
That the original claimants are repre-
sented by great-grandchldren should
have nothing to do with the case, for we
should eagerly embrace every opportunity
to erase the stains upon national honor
left by the generation that has also left
us 30 splendid heritage Of history and
law.
