.,wEr,n OF COURSE.

Pennsylvania has gone wet, so very
wet that majority Of 10000 or there
abouts against prohibition is thought to
be the size of it, and the ultra re-
formers raise their eyes toward clouds,
the silver lining of which is not likely
TO be visible for some lime to come.
The practical people Of practical
State have announced that they do not
consider arbitrary reform the proper
thing, and that,the dreamers who i'm
agine that they are keepers of their
brothers consciences, and dictators of
their brothers course are in a tremen-
dous minority,
There was made great effort by the
Prohibitionists and the opposition met
them by equal effort. Glee clubs and
bands paraded the streets of cities, the
former, of course, for reform" the latter
for the status quo. The relative style
tof the exhibition was indicative of the
relative style of the parties. A band is
practicalism; glee club--well, there
are some not unpleasant glee clubs-but
the glee club abstractly and ON the aver
age, is the one object thrust before him
which makes the ordinary observer
wish he had gun, preference being
sometimes given in his mind to the
more homely axe.
There are three parties in relation to
the liquor question in this country,
the saloonkeepers, the prohibitionists
and the temperance people. The latter,
including most thinking people, respect
the rights of others, have reason enough
TO know that the Fiskes and st. Johns
and Willards are either a species OF
able, earnest crank, reformers for reve-
nue., or reputation seekers, and that
their methods, fully and fairly tried in
the past, cannot possibly avail. So the
temperance people, when the prohibi-
tion issue comes up, vote with
the saloon element. Such OF
the prohibitonists as are honest and
have intelligence enough to await re-
suits will yet join the practical re.
formers in securing local option and
furthering such other moderate and
sbrewd programme as may be advanced
for reducing TO a minimum the evils
arising from the use of intoxicating
liquors.
Every lesson such as that taught in
Pennsylvania yesterday is good one.
il is another possible impression upon
the heads OF dullards.

A MuRpERous PRACTICE.

The man who carries concealed
weapon in civilized community is, at
all times, possible murderer. There
Is no excuse, no palliation for his
offense. He can be armed with n con-
cealed weapon only with the intention
of using il # what he considers an
emergency arises. He is q dangerous
person.
There was committed in WASH
ington last night what might have
been murder, simply because o
man who, had probably been
drinking, carried pistol. There is a
stringent law here against carrying con-
cealed weapons and this law was vio-
lated. The fact that the law exists
should aggravate the crime COM
mitted If the man shot was also
armed, he, also, should be punished, If
he recover, or, If he die, no sympathy
need be wasted on him. 1t Is not yet
known, however, that he was armed.
II he was not, he is but another victim
of vicious habit Of thugs, and of some
who count themselves better than
thugs.
The crime of carrying a pistol should
in decent community be ranked
among the highest. 1t is cowardly
and murderous thing to do

Much that was not down OH the pro

company for the past five years. during
which time he had never seen the sliRht-

undue influence ovcr the men AT tho polls.
The mel were free To vote as they pleased,
and mo questions asked.
Mr.. Smiths remarks produced a decided
sensation, and everybody present with
any sense. Of fairness felt glad that Mr..
Barker Ind been 40 promptly ana so
severely rebuked for his wholly unwar~

Another workman arose to contradict
Mr.. Barker, hut the chairman, seeing into
what "a boomerang Mr.. Bankers speech
was turning, begged those who took exc
ceptions To Mr.. Bankers statements to re-
tire. The man who desired tn speak said
he had understood the meeting was To bc
"a public one at which u free and fair dis

presence there.
These proceedings so disconcerted the
republican leaders and speakers that they
didn't know which way to turn. The

The meeting was, therefore, considerably
