A TEST or FIDELITY

An election is test Of the capacity and in
tegrity of the sovereign people. Each of their
organizations is tested by its conduct, as COM
paicd with the purposes and principles it pro-
lesses This year those who make temperance
their ruling motive and those vino organize to
promote the interests of labor, will be tested
more sharply than anybody else. Their inhu-
ence in the future, the public estimation of their
integrity and intelligence, may easily be deter
mined for all time to come by their conduct in
State elections this fall
The men who seek to promote Temperance,
whether by prohibitory or any other measures,
have a responsibility which they cannot escape.
,rhey profess 20 be governed by sense of Oh
moral obligation. II they deliberately so vote
~ ia defeat all temperance measures, so vote
AZ Ia ntrust full power in State governments to
the iquor-sellerS and their instruments public
estimation OF their conduct and character is
likely to be fixed beyond possibility Of change.
For within the last year liigh-License law
has been supported by substantially the entire
strength of one party in the New ! ork Legis-
lature and defeated by the Governor and hi.
associates OF the other party. In Now-Jersey

by one party and had immediately rahzed
most useful results for the State and Tor SEVERN
counties in which good citizens OF both parties
united 60 restrain the evils OF incompetence, was
repealed by the other party ut the dict'tioh OF
the liquor interest.
These things have taught sincere temperance
men of both parties. whatever they may choose
rs to methods, that no method whatever OF pro-
noting temperance or restricting the evils Of
liquor selling can be applied by the aid or with
out the defeat Of the Democratic party. Its
dependence upon the liquor interest Is so OPEN,
avowed and absolute that no sane man any
longer expects it to permit any bill to pass or
any act to stand on the statute-books which
that interest opposes. The only way to make
further progress toward restriction of the liquor
traffic or lessenng of the evils of intemperance
is by electing Republican candidates and Civ
ing that party power to serve the public interest.
The labor voters in this State and in New
jersey have come to recognize the TACT that
ballot reform is the first step toward any legis-
lation sought by workingmen. Mr.. Henry
George states but the truth when he says in
his speeches that the workingmen cannot ex-
pect to attain anything they desire, through
legislation or inc dctlOn oil state governments,
until they insist upon and obtain a free, pure
and secret ballot in sub sta nee on the Australian
plan. This has been the deliberate decision of
various labor organizations, in this State and
in New-Jersey, and of many large public meet
ings in which the workingmep formed the bulk
Of the attendance.
But the year has taught the workingmen that
they have nothing to hope from one party, and
everything to hope, as to balot-reform, from
the other. In both States they have seen bal
lot-reform bills defeated by Democrats, the
Governor and his leading supporters in New
York swinging the entire Democratic vote in
the Legislature againa the Saxton biIl and
the personal representatives and supporters Of
Mr. Albeit in New-Jersey exerting themselves
in the same way, and with the same success
in the Legislature, to defeat the bill asked by
the workingmen.
After such evidences as these an election
comes IL the temperance and the lab or voters
so cast their votes as to aid, directly or indi-
rectly, the party which has defeated every
effort toward Temperance and ballot REFORM
they will leave an impression in the public
mind which will with difficulty be efaced con-
corning their good faith or their intelligence.
Their only chance of influence or consideration
in the future is to make it plain that they know
friends from foes, and have sincerity enough
to put their votes where those votes will help
the cause they profess to have at heart

LTREING DANGERS FOR MEN.

work which rghtfully belongs to the feminine
nortion Of the household. Disaster is the usual
