OHIO PRoH1BIT1oNIsTs.

The greatest danger to the republi-
can cause in Ohio this year is likely to
be in the attitude of the prohibit,onists.
The leaders OF this element in that state
freely avow their determination to do
all in their power to defeat the republi-
can ticket. In the last gubernatorial
election the prohibition vote was be-
tween thirty and thirty-tive thousand,
the republican majority at that time
being eighteen thousand. Then ma
tional issues, and particularly the tariff
question, entered into the CAM
paign, and as these will
be less prominent this year
the prohibitionists are counting upon a
material increase of their vote. They
claim that there are in reality over
three hundred thousand voters in Ohio
who would favor prohibition if it came
up alone and separated from party mat
ters. The great majority of these are
republicans. Then there is the waver-
ing element, estimated at upwards of q
hundred thousand, and it is from these
that the prohibitionists hope to recruit
their ranks in the fall election. If
they can draw few thousand
of this element, and the demo-
Gratis hold their strength, they may
accomplish republican defeat. They
promise to bend all their energies to
the achievement of this result.
The Ohio prohibitionists are actuated
by the same motives and policy, in their
desire to defeat the republicans, as di-
rect the prohibitionists of other states
in pursuing like course. They have
no just ground OF complaint. They know
perfectly we'll that all the legislatio n
which has been enacted in Ohio during
the past quarter of a century for the
regulation of the liquor traffic, and in
the interest Of temperance, has come
from the republican party. They know
equally we'll that if the democracy isre.
stored to power in the state it will dc
the bidding OF the liquor element and
repeal the tax law. which, IL not all thai
1t should be, has still done good
in restricting the traffic and
creating revenue. II is Ger
tainly very much better than free
whisky, which would result from demo
cratic ascendancy. A tax Is the only
way in which the traffic can be dealt
with in Ohio, since the constitution
does not allow license system. Blu
having their full! share OF the
perversity general with their party
the prohibitionists OF Ohio array
themselves with unfailing regu
larity against the party which has don
all it could under the circumstances II
restrict and regulate the liquor traffic,
and play into the hands OF the political
organization which has steadily sh owl
itself hostile to such legislation.
It's possible that the plan of the pro.
hibitionists may be successful in Ohio
this year, but it is hardly Or obable il
view of the very strong consideration
fayoring republicar success, not the
least important of which is the neces
sity OF rebuking Legislative corruptior
in the election of a United States sena

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The trial of General Boulanger before the
high court of the French senate has been
begun. but it seems likely to encounter some
difficulties. 1t is understood to be the inten-
tion to ask the extradition OF the general,
and the question as to what the English gov
ernment will do in the matter is an interest
ing one. Whether England yields TO the de-
mand or rejects it, the radicals will find
themselves in an awkward predicament. The
assent of the English government to the ex-
tradition of Boulanger can only be obtained
by guarantee that the general shall not be
tried on political charge or before special
tribunal like the senatorial high court of JUS
tice. The most explicit and conclusive assur-
ances on this point would be required from
President Carnot before an English minis
try would venture to deprive an ostensibly
political refugee of the right of asylum. The
prosecution for treason before the senate
would consequently have TO be abando ned,
and Boulanger would have to be formal ly
indicted and tried in an ordinary assize
court. That is the sort of tribunal to which
Boulanger has often offered to submit, and
to which his enemies have shown them
selves unwilling to appeal. 1t Is exceed
ingly doubtful whether Jury could be
found in Paris to convict the general of
bribe taking or embezzlement upon the
evidence brought forward by the pro-
encouragement in the statement laid before
the senate. Should the result OF such trial
be failure TO convict Boulanger's position
in Paris and throughout France would be
incomparably stronger than IL is now.
Should he even by chance be convicted.
there would be deep rooted and widespread
belief that the jury had been packed, and
the judicial machinery of the country en-
ployed to execute the malignant purposes Of
political cabal. A conviction under such
circumstances might be bad for Boulanger
himself; but 1t would give tremendous i'm
pulse to Boulangism, which collective name
would acquire u new attraction for all the
elements OF discomfort and opposition. II was
just such q belief that justice had been
warped and prostituted in the selfish inter-
ests Of the men In power that, more than any
other cause. contributed TO the overthrow Of
Louis Philippe in ls4s.

Said TO Have Been rendered the Land
Commissioncrship.
WASHINGTON, August 9.-lSpecial Tele-
gram 70 THE BEE. IA report is In circula
tion to-day to the effect that the secretary Of
the interior has offered Judge Groff, of
Omaha, position nearly as good as that Of
interstate commissioner. 1t is said that the
secretary of the interior has been anxious for
some time to find the proper man for com.
missioner of the general land office, us he
does not want to give that position to ex-
Governor Stone, the present deputy. Judge
Croft is said to have all the qualifications
necessary to make a first-class commissioner
OF the land Office, and has besides wide
knowledge of the exact situation of affairs
in the west. 1t is said that he went home
with an absolute proffer of the position, and
that his entry into official life IN Washington
rests wholly with himself.
Whether or not he will see At to doff the
ermine for a less important Office than that
which he had right to expect would be
rendered him will probably depend upon the
advice of his friends and the two Nebraska
senators, whom he will consult upon his re-
turn to Omaha.

and main TO unload upon Uncle Sam a
quarter OF the Planters house block.
Just now he Is trying TO pose as 1.-The
anti-monopolist" OF Omaha. We are
content to Let him pose. His gira-
tions only recall forcibly. the fable
about the long-eared animal that
donned the lion skin. We do, however,
object TO MS insinuation that THE BEE
has Topped and gone over &c the rail-
road camp.
There has been no flop. The atti-
tude Of THE BEE, as regards the union
depot proposition, can in no way be in
terproted as disposition TO favor the
Union Pacific at the expense OF tax
paying citizens. We have simply de-
clared that hundred and fifty thou
sand dollars bonus is mere
bagatelle as an inducement for
securing the abolition Of the trans
fer nuisance and to bring about the joint
occupancy of the proposed union depot
by all the roads that connect with the
Union Pacific. Mr.. Hitchcock pur-
posely omits to quote the conditions
precedent, upon which THE BEE ex-
pressed willingness to support the one
hundred and fifty Thousand dollar bond
proposition. Unless these conditions
are made part Of the compact between
the city and the Union Pacific, we shall
most decidedly oppose the proposition.
We shall never approve or advocate
any proposition that leaves room for
doubt as to the main object
in view, namely, ample accommodation
for all trains Of the railways that
terminate at the Missouri river, and a
guaranty that they will be allowed to
cross the bridge and occupy the depot
jointly on reasonable terms, satisfactory
to all concerned.

THE secretary OF the interior has
taken the precaution to warn anxious
settlers that claim jumping will not be
countenanced on the Sioux reservation,
and that settlement will be denied until
the government will be ready to open it
for entry. This will probably consume
many months. The new territory will
not be thrown open to settlers before
next spring, or even later. The great
est difficulty that the government will
experience in the sale of the land will
not come from actual settlers, but from
land speculators who will be the first on
hand to buy up immense tracts. II it be
the policy of the interior department to
dispose of the land to bona-tide settlers
only, care will have to be taken to pre-
vent the fraud and subterfuge.

AS unalterable as the laws Of the
Medes and Persians are the laws OF
Great Britain affecting criminal cases
when once the sentence of death has
been pronounced. No appeal to a
higher court is known. No exceptions
to the ruling of the Judge or to the ver-
dict of the jury as being contrary to the
weight Of evidence can be taken. The
sentence Of capital punishment closes
to the condemned absolutely the door
of the open court. This will explain
to many people Of America unfamiliar
with English custom why it is that in
the case of Florence Elizabeth Maybric
sentenced to be hung for poisoning her
husband, appeals must be made to the
cabinet instead of the court for re-
prieve and a rehearing Of the case.
Popular opinion. as evidenced by the
monster petitions prepared by the men,
bers Of the bar and by the leading mer-
chants Of London and Liverpool, has
strongly turned in behalf of the un-
fortunate woman. The petitions will
be laid before the secretary of state for
the home department. who, after ex-
amining the burden Of proofs, may
grant q reprieve. Then, after Q
careful and private rehearing OF
the evidence, he may recommend to
her majesty to commute the death SEN
tence to one of imprisonment for life,
or to show such clemency as the nature
of the case demands. The trial has ex-
cited great public interest in both
America and England and the outcome

The apprehensions that have been
expressed from time TO time regarding
the immediate future of the money mar
ket are not shared by the leading bank
officials of New York. A number OF
these recently interviewed by the Sun
were uniformly Of the opinion that a
monetary stringency is improbable, and
that the prospect is favorable to an
ample supply OF currency for moving
the crops and providing for the de mands
Of the fall trade. This verifes tho
statement recently made by the secre-
tary OF the treasury that his informa-
tion from the best financial sources did
not indicate that there was any cause
for experimenting scarcity of money,
and that consequently he did not feel
called upon to consider the question Of
a change in the treasury policy, such
as might DO necessary to avert q none

however, will be the means OF deter
mining the three cities which will have

will be considered in the subsequent
contest. 1t is almost conceded that the
fight will be narrowed down to Tacoma,
Seattle and Olympia, the present capi-
tai, and 1t Is more than probable that
Olympia win be the choice, due to the
intense rivalry existing between Ia
