Suppose the Republicans of this st

Suppose the Republicans of this state
are not desiring the best interest of the
Prohibition party in offering to help them
rid the commonwealth of the run party
that now has it in its grip, is thele any
thing peculiarly verdant in that?
Are we as Prohibitionists looking after
the best interests of the Republican party
in asking them to come over and give us a
lift on this line, or are we looking after the
best interest of prohibition in so doing?
Would it be because of the love we have
for the party of Leon Albeit ct al that we
should promise to give them something
better to drink than whisky, or cold tea II
they should for once vote on the right side
and to give us prohibition, or would it be
to advance the cause of prohibition through
the help of the Democratic party, which?
Fact OF it is we want to get somewhere,
get there right. it's trne, but get there all
the same, and we think it only common
sense that we should use every legitimate
opportunity in the way, not critisizing too
closely the motives of the party purposing
to help us get there

Fundamental Truth.

Adrunken people cannot be a free people.
Under universal suffrage, prohibition is a
political necessity, because without it the
liquor traffic, as experience indicates, is
sure to become a predominant power in
municipal, State and National politics.
Every political party that is afraid to Of
fend the whisky vote is in bondage to the
saloon. But the sovereignty of the saloon
in the great cities is the sovereignty of the
slums. Until prohibition succeeds, aver
age municipal politics will be kept in bond
age to the criminal classes. When the
path to preferment leads through the gin
mills, free government is a farce, and its
future is likely to be a tragedy.-Joseph
Cook, in North american Reuiew.

The SIsferhOOd Of Women.

Emerson marked a wide difference be-
tween the thinking man and the man
thinking. 1t is the woman thinking who
goes to find her sisters in the crowded man
u%facturing rooms and marks the effects of
the foul air, filled with the poisonous
breath of men stepped in whisky and to-
bacco. 1t is woman thinking who foresees
the inevitable results upon our national
character of this incessant, nervous-strain
to which working women are subjected.
1t is woman thinking who notes the fact
that the majority of working women are
not only dependent upon themselves for
support but also have others dependent
upon them, and, knowing this, it is woman
thinking who turns to Carroll d. Wright's
exhaustive report on labor statistics and
reads there long lines of average wages
paid for the same york to .'male'' and s'fe-
male" workers.
1t is woman thinking who knows that
we cannot look to state or church for the
correction of these evils. The working
woman must know that beneath even silk
en- robes are beating sister hearts keenly
alive to every wrong that cripples and de-
stroys the lives of sister women. The BROTH
erhood of man has its true, effectivecomple-
ment in the sisterlood Of woman Wher-
ever women work other women must know
the conditions under which they work; and
there is a wrong to be righted or
an evil to be Destroyed let women remember
that the walls of more than one Jericho
have fallen to the sound of many voices
impassioned for purity and justice Rena

And now that the constitutional amend
ment has been defeated in Pennsylvania,
what class of its citizens, think you reader,
are most pleased? The best men of the
State; the christian preachers and teachers
of the churches; the men of homes and
property whose prosperity is identical with
that of the State; the careful fathers of
sons just growing up to manhood; the in
telligent student of history who reads the
signs Of the times through the newspapers;
in short the best men of the commonwealth
or the worst?
1t has seemed to us that Il the two classes
of voters, those who supported prohibition
at the polls and those who opposed il, could
be placed in paraiIeled lines, uis a els, that
the moral effect would be more convincing
than the most labored argument.
On the whisky side would be found the
politicaldead beat, the whisky guzzler, the
gamblers, horse jockeys, deeayed politi-
clans, foreigners OF every nation and the
floating population of the state with the un-
classified bum from everywhere, all solid
for Bacchus.
True, all in the line would not be of this
hue precisely, many believing with the
Phila. Public Ledger that the amendment
as ~purposed twas in rather bad shape both
as to what it professed to express and as to
what it failed to attempt to enact" and be-
lieve chad it been adopted the good people
of the Commonwealth might have found
themselves deprived of not only the Brooks
Tavern License Regulating act, but of all
penal laws against the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors without license,
the sale of such liquors on Sunday, the sale
to minors, to habitual drunkards-and, in
deed, every other penal law on the subject;
this condition to have continued several
months, probably for two years, possibly
more"
OF course all who voted for the constitu-
tional amendment were not saints, and
even if SO, saints are not always the best
judges of politics, still it requires no very
hard guessing, the rum men themselves
being the judges, to tell on which side the
best people of the state were arrayed.

The Republican State Committee met at
Jersey City last week and resolved to call
the convention for the nomination of a
candidate for Governor between September
/ and Is. The convention will be held in
Trenton and will be formed on the basis
Of one delegate to each 200 votes. The
Democratic committee will probably fix
upon a date in the course of a few days.
The candidates whose names seemed to
be most prominent from the chat among
the committeeman were ex-Mayor Gilbert
Collins of Jersey City; ex-Mayor Frank
Mcgowan, of Trenton; Senator Nevius, of
Monmouth; Gen. e. Burd Grub, of Bur-
lington. State Treasurer John ]. Toffey.
The impression was that the Democrats
would nominate Ex-Governor Albeit,
although Senator MACPHERSON is said
violently to oppose this elevation of his old
opponent.

Mr.. Cables Advice.

Mr.. Geo. W. Gable seems to place a high
value on the ballot as is evinced In the
following extract from an article recently
published in the Forum. If the ballot is
of such great Importance to the negro,
many of whom are very ignorant, how
much greater must it's power be in the
hands of women, the majority of whom
are educated. We call special attention to
the closing sentence:
Vote! Cast your vote, though taxed for
it. Cast your vote, though defrauded of
it, as many a white man is to-day. Cast
your vote, though you die for it. Let no
man cry, ''Liberty or BLOOD" leave that
for socialists and Partisan mobs; but when
liberty means duty, and death means ones
own extinction, then the cry of Liberty
or Death" is a holy cry, and the man who
will not make it his own cven in freedom
is not free. Seek not to buy liberty with
the blood either of friends or of enemies:
it is only mems own blood at last that
counts in the purchase of liberty. What.
CtCl may law DCCh biC uuO phiiOoopdy
for more ferocious times, this is the true phi
losophy forours. Cast your votes, then, even
though many of you die for 1t. Some of
you have died, but in comparison how
few; 300, 900 white men poured out their
blood to keep you bound, other 800. 900
died to set you free, and still the full
measure of American freedom is not yours.
A fiftieth as much of your own blood shed
in the offensive activities of public duty
will buy it. Keep your vote alive, bet
ter nine free men than ten half free.
In most of the southern states the negro
vote has been diminishing steadily for
years, to the profound satisfaction of those
white men whose suicidal policy is to keep
you to alienism. In the name of the dead,
black and white, of the living, and of
your children yet unborn, not as Of one
party or another, but as American freemen,
vote. For in this free land the people
that do not vote do not get and do not de-
serve their rights.

Major-General O. o. Howard, whose
headquarters are now at Governors Island,

The n. Y. Independent, among the ablest
and most conservative of metropolitan jour-
mails, doesn't regard the very decisive vote
against tie constitutional amendment in
Pennsylvania as settling the question in that
state by any means. Among other things
it says:
s'Prohibition is beaten in Pennsylvania;
we grant that. We grant also that it has
been beaten in several other states; but
these defeats do not settle the fate of Pro-
hibition, the principle of Prohibition. That
principle is i'll force in several states, and
will be in force in other states in good time.
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts are not
ready for it at present. That is all. The
principle is just rs sound as it ever was;
wherever public sentiment will permit it to
be applied, it is alse effective. A sound
principle AID an effective system cannot be
''doomed,' even by a defeat like that in
Pennsylvania The time will come when
law will close all the saloons in Pennsyl-
vania. 1t has already closed thousands; it
is therefore already prohibitory in a degree.
Those who scout the principle of Prohibit
ton are ~pronouncing against the principle
of restriction. Restriction is partial Prohi-
bition; it contains the germ of the full
fledged principle. Restriction is good where
Prohibition cannot be fully applied; but re-
striction must become more and more re-
strictive in order to achieve permanent sue
cess. The Brooks act has done great
things; but watch and see if its effective
ness continues for any great length of time.
Watch and see if, i'll Philadelphia and
Pittsburg, there be not a gradual increase
of saloons and a gradual increase of laxity
in the enforcement of the law. The point
we wish to make is that Prohibition is a
permanent principle, while License is not.
The article concludes as follows:
'sThe lesson for temperance men in the
Pennsylvania defeat we have already limited
at. Do not ask for submission until you
are ready for it. Adopt for the present
other methods leading up to that. Local
Option by counties is the most effective of
these. Submission in New York or New
Jersey would be of no use just now.
County Local Option would We need not
be discouraged. We had 243, 900 votes for
absolute Prohibition in Pennsylvania. That
is a large and very powerful minority, and
there is this to be said about it: 1t was
made up of the very choicest elements,
Christian, moral, intelligent, in the state.
In the long run these will win
