Commenting on the flat-footed man
ner in which the Prohibition party has
come out for female suffrage, the New
York Sun pertinently says:
"Of course, any political organic alton
that is at the same time a ProhibitiOnist
party and party of woman suffrage is,
first Of all, for the extension Of the bal
lot to women and for the abolition OF
the liquor traffic incidentally. There is
no comparison between the two issues in
respect of Importance or magnitude.
One is Question of sumptuary legisla
ton, of police, OF traffic regulation.
The other aims at a political revolution
such as the world has never yet wit
messed, and change in American insti-
buttons beside which the change wrought
by the fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments would seem insignificant"
1t may now be regarded as settled that
the Prohibitionists have abandoned as
lmpracticable their old principles Com
pretending at last that they were seek
ing the unattainable, they have come
out for female suffrage rather than give
up their old organization.
The question that now arises is, how
many earnest Prohibltionists will con-
tinue to act with this fantastic party
Temperance is one thing, but female
suffrage is another, and as female suf-
frage is to be made the principal object
of the old Prohibition party, the woman

THE NEW TEMPERANCE PAPER.

The Advocate, a new paper in the in
terest OF the Prohibition party, made its
appearance all at once in White River
Junction last week. 1t is just half the
size of the Landmark, and Its price is 81
year. 1t is all printed at Concord, is
edited in Middlebury, and is published,
or rather first sees the light, in Smiths
block. Now, that seems rather indefi-
mite as to its publication office, for there
are several resorts of business in that
block. We will begin at the base Of
that block, where the White r yer Paper
Company have local habitation and
name in S l.. Fanam. Is it he who is
attempting to boom it? Guess not.
Right above him on the first floor is the
firm of T. F. & NJ. j. Boyle Can 1t re
that there prohibition is fostered in the
Advocate? We refuse to believe it. On
the next floor above is the bank. Is
Bacon bugling for it? Forbid the
thought; he is Republican and is crazy
for James G.. Blaine. Still higher we
come to the bland and serene Long Felt
Want, whose wonderful success as
publisher almost convinces us that he is
the sly little rogue who has once more
launched his canoe on the sea OF news
paperdom; but when we come to reflect
that burnt child breads the fire."
especially when he has been burned
twice, yea thrice, we will say that it is
not he. Does Odd Fellows Hall father
the bantling? Nay, verify, too many
kinds of politics there to harmonize.
Then, where is it published All, we
have III 1t is in the bakery department.
That old rascal who has lately been nom
mated for Congress, TO wit, George w.
Smith, is its Junction manager. Well
knowing the utilization of the Demo-
cratic party with rum. he has, to take
the cuss off and to make it appear to the
temperance people that he is a Prohibl-
zionist, lately gone into the cold water
business, starting two monster drive
wells and building 5000 gallon tank to
hold his water, and on the strength of
these appearances to double his vote as
candidate for Congress. What rotten
ness! What demagogisml 1t won't
win, however; the people will put their
foot upon such trickery. But we will
give George w. Smith the credit of
greater amount of scheming and strategy
than we ever suspected him Of. For
mercy sake, don't take the Advocate;
let us live a while longer White River

methods, The Pope will never sanction
confscation and hence in the end his
''rescript" will prevail, and the sooner
this is done the sooner it will become
impossible to find instances like the fol-
lowing, which is the excerpt mentioned:
Home Rule" is a veXatious question,
and no one can predict the result of the
present agitation, An American is
naturally and constitutionally in favor
of sell. government in local affairs; but
fear that some OF the Irish agitators care
nothing but to secure their neighbOrs'
land, without compensation. The Irish
tenants doubtless have grievances which
should be remedied; but two wrongs do
not make one right, and the landlord
has rights-the right to his property and
rents, in which he should be protected.
Let Americans who believe in the right
of property remember thus, and not al.
low their spmpathies to override their
sense of justice; otherwise let them pro-
claim themselves followers of Henry
George and his fallacious theories, l
recently met an elderly lady, an Irish
widow, a landowner. She told me that
her tenants were all thrifty and well off,
but that she has been unable to get any
rent for several years, and, while the
rightful owner of valuable estate, pay
ing thousands of dollars profit to the
occupants. she is suffering for the COM
forts Of life. Her agent dare not prose-
cute, for fear of his life. Last year she
went to Ireland to try and get some
money, for her necessities, from her
tenants. No hotel would give her shell
ter for fear of being boycotted by the
land league, and she was obliged to
lodge in poorly furnished room, with
out fire, in mid winter, over drink
ing saloon. She returned without any
money from her tenants, but with rheu.
matism, the result from cold and ex
posture, which nearly cost her, her life,
and from which she has never recover
ed. She is now trying to have the mat
ter brought before the land court, but
she remains in the town adjoining her
estate, not daring to go where it is
known that she is landowner. Let
the sentimentalists save some of their
sympathy for this class of sufferers
Let it be remembered also, that the
poorest people IN Ireland. who refuse to
pay rent, do not fail to regularly con-
tribute their Peters pence;" that they
have given largely to the Pope in honor
of his Jubilee" and that the deposits
in the Irish savings banks are constantly
increasing.

tac astounding letter from Horace
Greeley 10 President Lincoln. written
after the first battle of Bull Run and
printed for the first time in the June
Century, shows how little the general
public knew at the time of the embar
easements which Lincoln encountered,
and proVes the greatness of his charac-
ter which enabled him to surmount all
obstacles and keep his way steadfastly
to the end. Greeley, in writing, says he
has not slept for seven days and nights,
and seems to feel as if the battle of Bull
Run had been ordered by the Tribune.
While Greeley's advice may have infiu-
enced the administration. 1t is not at all
probable that as editor of the Tribune
he was responsible to the extent he
takes it upon himself to assume.

THE sLIGHTED HERO.

General w. T. Sherman has published
a letter relating that he failed to hear
Ingersoll and Depew on Memorial Day
because no ticket was sent to him, and
when he applied for one they were all
sold. He then adds, with a reasonable
ness to which this slight adds force:
And now l address my comrades OF
the Grand Army, which made this civic
ceremonies possible, as one of them
selves, not claiming any privileges by
reason of exalted rank and hohors far
above my deserts, to ask if it is not bet
ter to devote Decoration Day to the Gem.

The National Prohibition Convention
is q conspicuous illustration of mis-
placed enthusiasm. A considerable pro
portion of the delegates are probably
sincere in the conviction that they are
promoting the cause of temperance ;
while, as a matter of fact, the only pos
sible result of their exertions, if there
were any result, would be to turn close
States over to the control of the party
which is in alliance with the saloons
and depends for success upon the liquor
interest, This is aptly shown IN an ar
ticle printed on our outside pages too day.

The House on Friday passed the bill
giving TO General Sheridan the title of

in his nomination to the Senate, it was
al once confirmed, and the commission
was soon placed in the dying generals

no mislaklng his appreciation of the
honor, and his first official order. the
appointment of his staff, was firmly
signed in pencil. The people are CRATE
ful, too, end no act Of the present ses-
SION 1f Congress will be more generously
approved. The scene in the House dur.
ing the effort to pass the bill was strik-
ingIy dramatic. Spinola was urging it's
passage Kilgore and Oates objected.
Then Mile rushed to where Spinola
stood, and snatching the paper, shouted:
Mr.. Speaker, in the name of the Con-
Tolerate soldiers, living and dead. call
for the passage of this BILL" Kilgore
yielded. Oates skulked from the cham
Der, and the bill went through with a
few muttered nays from the Democratic
side, virtually unanimous.

We heard the question asked the other
day as to the leadership in point of
ability between the English and Ameri
can journals. Both had their friends in
the audience, and as throwing light
upon this subject we quote the opinion
Of the Hon. f. j. Phelps, minister to
England, He ought to know. Mr..
Phelps considers the leading American
newspapers much superior to the prin-
cIpal English papers, and wonders at
the lack Of enterprise shown by the
London journals i'll gathering news from
the United State. He states that there
is o growing desire among the English
people to learn more about America
and American institutions, and cites as
an illustration of the interest which is
being taken in the affairs of the republic
the fact that the news stands at the
street corners in London have quite a
sele of copies of the constitution of the
United States, which sell at twopence

1t seems to us that the office of State
Treasurer should be one of permanence.
1t will be recalled in this connection
that the late State Treasurer Page held
the office for years and even up to the
time of his decease. Succeeded by the
Hon. VIM. II. Dubois of West Randolph,
who has made an excellent official, we
see no good reason for the agitation Of
change, such as we understand is in
nrnErpss.
