Contrary to the Spirit of ,z6.

Prof. Thayer, of Harvard, prints strong
article in favor of restriction rather than
prohibition as the reasonable means of ad-
vancing the cause of temperance. He de-
clares a prohibition clause has no rightful
place in a constitution, and presents vigor-
Gus arguments to the legal mind, or to
others who have made some study of the
proper limitations of constitutional law. He
says:
Nothing could so clearly mark how lit
tie the wisdom of our ancestors is appre-
ciated, even at this centennial period when
we are celebrating it, as the fact that we
should be asked now to insert in our Consti-
tuition such a clause as this. Our State
constitutions, besides providing for the
framework of government, the qualifications
of electors and the like, were made to be
the guaranty and charter of a few
simple, well-established, uncontroverted
principles-lest in moments of passion or in
advertence, or under the temporary pressure
of special interests, these should be disre-
garded. They were not made to be codes
of laws, or to embody the opinion of a mo-
mentary majority upon an entirely unset
tied question, like this of the best way to
deal with the drink question. That other
States have forgotten the true conception
and purpose of constitution and have in
serted this and other like provisions of de-
tailed legislation is no reason why we should
follow them. The process of using constitu-
tions in this way is a process of degradation
from the example of our fathers.
There lisa great deal in this, and its force
may be strengthenened in its application to
Pennsylvania by the difficulty there will be
in repeating constitutional prohibition,
should il be fastened on our people, and
prove to be absurdly ineffective in reaching
the evil aimed at.

THELAWYERS' PICNIC
They Will RuSticate at Pleasant
Rock Point To-Day.
BRIEFS AND BILLS PUT ASIDE.
Clients Will Have to Wait Few Hours for
Law Pointers.
HOW THE DAY WILL BE PASSED AWAY

The Allegheny County courts will sit in
the woods at Rock Point to-day. The
massive granite pile on Grant street will be
deserted. A decrease in population may be
plainly discerned in the legal sections OF
Grant and Diamond streets, Fourth and
Fifth avenues. Janitors and scrub women
will hold almost undisputed occupancy OF
attorneys offices throughout the city. and
for one day in the year Law Librarian
Digby will not hear the cry which haunts
him every other day in the year-"Here,
Percy!
1t will be merry crowd that will occupy
this mornings special train on the Pitts
burg, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroad.
"Intellect on Wheels" is what the brake
man has been instructed by the Executive
Committee to announce to all astonished
grangers at way stations. If that delusion
is to be kept up all the way to Rock Point,
then the committee should order all win
dows and doors tightly closed ana shutters
we'll locked. The sights and sounds which
will probably make the trip notable would
be apt to make the grangers doubt the
brakeman. The freshness of the morning,
the exhilarating sensation of an early ride
into the country, the relaxation from all
business cares, and the pleasant free feeling
of anticipation of the long day before them,
will all prove conducive to jolly hour on
board the cars. And it is more than proba-
BILE that some of the sport will be COM
menced even that earlv.

LABOR AND TEMPERANCE.
James Campbell Presides ut nm Opera House
Meeting-R. +. TrevelIich's Speech.

james Campbell Presides ut nm Opera House
Meeting-R. f. TrevelIicl's Speech.
James Campbell, President of the Win
dow Glass Workers Association. presided
at the Constitutional amendment meeting in
the Opera House yesterday afternoon. 1t
had been announced as meeting for the
workingmen only, and consequently there
were but few women present, although the
house was pretty well filled.
r. f. Trevellick was the principal speak
er, his subject being 'Intemperance the
Curse of Organized Labor"
Taking up the history of Greece, Rome
and other countries, he traced their prog
ress until they achieved greatness and
power when they gloried in their wealth
and clamored for more countries to conquer,
yet crisis came to those countries.
The workingmen got together and said to
themselves ''our fingers have woven the
linen we do not wear: our hands have laid
the foundations and built the houses we do
not occupy. Rome is rich because of the
wealth stolen from other nations" and to-
day the pages of history record the downfall
OF those nations through drunkenness, and
licentiousness. Through their madness, !"
said Captain Trevellick, 'they took posses
sion Of the Roman power, dug a grave, and
with one loud crash, the nation's greatness
was buried so deep that Gods fair sun can
never shine on it again"
Taking up England, Captain Trevellick
stated that from the reign of Alfred l. to
Henry VIII. the people who toiled for a
living had no part in the Government. Man
kind was taught that God appointed the
King and the churches were bound to pray
for the King, because he was the Govern
ment. The people could not rebel, because
to rebel would not only be treason against
the Government but blasphemy against
God. Just as long as the nobility drank
their wine, drove fast horses and ate the food
produced by others there was no incentive
for development; so for 500 years there was
no progress in civilization in England. But
from the time the North England miners
began to meet clandestinely and discuss
their position and condition, they began to
be educated and England began to march
onward and upward.
Coming to America, Captain TIevellick
stated that ever since organized labor has
become powerful in America, the nation
has progressed, and more power has been
achieved to produce wealth in the last so
years than in all time preceding.
''The labor question is not settled. The
temperance question is not settled, and the
labor question never will be settled until
the liquor question is. If the money spent
for liquor every year was turned into the
labor channels for two years there would not
be an idle man in America, and there would
not be enough to produce what is needed. F"
