PROHIBIIION.

Pennsylvania votes to-day on the fol-
lowing proposed amendment to the
Constitution:
THE manufacture, sale, or keeping
for sale Of Intoxicating liquor, TO be used
as "A beverage, is hereby prohibited, and
any violation of this prohibition shall
be a misdemeanor, punishable as shall
be provided by law.
''The manufacture, sale, or keeping
for sale of intoxicating liquor for other
purposes than as beverage may be
allowed in such manner only az may be
prescribed by law. The General As
sembly shall, at the first session sue
ceeding the adoption of tins article OF
the Constitution. enact laws with AIDE
quate penalties for its enforcement.
That is fair statement of the issue
aud it is taken for granted that it Will
be defeated by large majority. 1t
proposes question between the citi-
zen's freedom and government con-
troll of his habits. Or, in other words,
IT is proposition TO make laws to die
tate tho degree Of action as TO habits
where 10 immortality is proved by the
acts that are to be lesislated on.
A man may be drunk and subject TO
arrest, but because he takes drink of
beer or whiskey the law has no right 70
make HIM a criminal. The idea of
laws, except for the protection Of So
ciety, is abhorrent. The democratic
idea OF freedom is 10 do as you please
- you do not trespass on the rights Of
others. All the rest is left to the indi-
vidual's conscience 10 settle with his
God and that wide range Of moral re-
sponsibilities when the sin is abstract
and harmful principally TO the sinner.
The cause Of Prohibition has been
badly damaged by the pharissical spirit
OF its advocates. Every reasonable
man wants to see the liquid fire
taken away from the lips that are too
easily tempted, but there are other
ways TO do il than by tyrannlcal legisla-
ton, which the people OF this country
will meyer stand.

The Atlanta Constitution, which is a
high authority on Quaker City manners
aud Boston culture, says that at a
literary coterie in Philadelphia Messrs.
O'Donough and Lynch differed ast to the
pronunciation of the word adequate
whether it should be pronounced with
the sound of qor al
The arbitrator consulted dictionary
and decided that Mr.. O'DOnough was
clearly lin the soup" while Mr.. Lynch
was also little Off. The latter made a
grab for the money, but was stopped by
Mr. O'Donough's fist.
Then came the wager of battle. Mr..
O'Donough enthusiastically established
the purity of his pronunciation by
wiping up the floor with Dir. Lynch,
and triumphantly sailed off with a
couple Of black eyes. leaving the other
gentleman with highly ornate nose.

A LEARNED contemporary says that
"the reason of the opposition is not
particularly personal to Governor Hill.
1t lies in the general indisposition Of
the Democrats Of the South and West to
nave their votes made void by the sclf
ishness Of New York city politicians.
That is just the point. The pivot has
been established, and we hear that un-
less New York names the man Demo-
cratic candidate cannot be elected, and
then if New York does name the man
he runs the risk of being GATED by a
rival who can trade local patronage
against the National ticket.

NORTH CAROLINA APPOINTMENTS
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times says that 1T is as
serted upon the authority of men of
the most undoubted Republicanism lin
North Cardinal that there has never
been time when such poor and unsat-
isfactOry appointments have been made
by any President. The lowest and
worst element in the Republican party
in the State, the Sherman gang Of trick
sters and manipulators, have been lift
ed into power" Judging Of the future
by the past, il is predicted that these
political buccaneers will spend the next
four years in feathering sheir nests and
destroying the carefully built-up Re
publican party in the State. D"
Tue THREATENED PEACE OF Europe
Europe is once more disturbed by ru-
mors of war. Russia has just made an
unexpected move on the chess-bOard.
and Germany. Italy. and Austria are in
"A brown study To know whether IT
means a more aggressive policy or Is
only another instance of characteristic
bluff.
The money markets of the Continent
have suffered sea change within a
week. This is suggestive and signiii-
cant, but not necessarily a sure sign of
danger.
Great money centres are president.
but not iniallible. Cash is the object of
every mans ambition. and its safe IN
vestment is his supreme purpose. HIS
money once risked, he watches with
preternatural anxiety the effect of
every change in national policy. He
is like an Old salt on the quarter
deck Of vessel who keeps his
weather eye on the horizon line,
and when he feels in his bones
that storm is brewing takes
in the top hamper and reefs the lower
sails. The order to reef is prophecy
of dirty weather at hand. SO when
great financial institution begins to pro-
tect itself by a general unloading of
stock il is safe to say that spectators
and .investors detect the possibility. if
not the probability, of coming compli-
cations. -Ne,o York Herald.
The one thing which is clear in the
cronin case is that there is well-or-
sanized conspiracy 10 prevent the au-
horities from unravelling the mystery.

mains at the head of the United States
Railroad Bureau, and there is pre-
valent impression that he will be re-

make a personal appeal to the Presi-

General Johnston. though past the
age allotted to man for the journey Of
this life, is still hearty and vigorous.
He looks fully ten years younger than
his actual age, and his springy step, up

Women and Children Being Moved from
the Scene of Trouble.
New ORLEANS, September 1st.-A Plea
yaSne'S Greenwood special says: There has
been for the last month negro by the
name of Cromwell organizing alliances in
this part of the delta. On Wednesday of
this week number of negroes belonging
to the alliance movement claimed that he
was an ex-conyict. a majority of the
negroes in the alliance voted in favor of
Cr mwell. Thenext day Cromwell received
a letter ordering him to leave the country.
He showed the letter to the negroes, and
the same evening the whites at Shell
Mound received warning letter from the
negroes, who signed themselves, Three
thousand armed men," Thev said that
they proposed to stand by Cromwell, and
that If any efforts were made to disturb him
they would kill, burn and destroy Shell
Mound.
About seventy-f FIVE armed negroes came
into town and talked in very loud and
threatening manner.
Last night the Sheriff received informa-
ton from Sunnyside, fifteen miles above
Shell Mound, that there were 500 armed
negroes massed in Johnson's field, near
there, and help was needed. He wired the
Governor the situation and asked for
troops, which was responded to promptly
by Governor Lowry in person, bringing
with him five companies of militia.
Governor Lowry has sent two companies
to Sunnyside to report to the Sheriff, who
went up there this morning to see if he
could do anything with the negroes.
A steamboat running between here and
Sharkey has just come in, bringing num-
Der of women and children
There has been several reports from the
scene of the trouble this evening one of
which was that the negroes had left the
vicinity of Sunnyside, breaking up in small
bands of twenty or thirty, and they seemed
to be sulky and mad.
