Political Prohibition.

| Notwithstanding the overwheim
ing defeat of the Prohibition part.
at the last general election the party
still lives~sHd ,tt continue to liv'
So long AS some men continue tt
drink liquor, and some others con
slider it their imperative duty tc
attempt to manage the private af
fairs ofOther men.
! 1t will be found weak and strong
by turns in the future as in the
past, according to the popular
craze.
What matters it to the true Pro.
hibitionist that his cause is always
a failure; that the agitation in
creases the consumption Of liquor
and promotes hypocrisy and de-
ception. The genuine prohibition
ista.sees no JmOre relevancy in
facts like the foregoing than their
ancestors saw in the arguments of
fUf NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. witchcraft
and heresy. 1t is the nature of the
true prohibitionist to be wofully de-
ficient in political sagacity. Ifthis
were not the case he would see the
utter impossibility Of regulating
the appetites Of men by law but he
is so constituted that he can't?
1t is perhaps well that he has the
real rum-evil to fight against, for If
it were not for this we should, no
doubt, find them seriously and con-
scientiously engaged in whipping
Quakers and burning witches, and
when this pastime failed we
would find them at work on laws
regulating the shape Of shoe toes,
the. style of our coats and hats, or
perchance the mode Of wearing our
hair just ms their. forernnners did
in their day. While sensible peo-
pie stand aloof from this the most
dangerous political heresys Of. the
age, the political fanatics will con-
tinue tomenace our liberties and be
the worst disturbing element in
our politics until some other social,
or religious heresy enthralls their
morbid fancies and engages their,
political powers. >c'> H'f X.

Congressman Ewart will not Vote for the
Lodge BILL

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Congrsssman
Ewart, of North Carolina, declared today
that he would sbsolutsly refuse to be
bound By any cauo0s action regarding
the Lodge election bill. That measure,
he insists, 10 an outrageous one, s0d he
proposes when it comes up in the House
70 oppose it With ali his might and main.
He has made some tart talks on the cub
iect in the several Rspublican eaacusses
that have been held to patch up . law.
Mr Evart says that there 10 no need Of
any such legislation, aud he realizes If put
| on free would etir up strife, 1t not blood
| shed In the South. He has repeatedly
told the Republicans Of the North that
| elections in bis district, and throaghout
North Carolina, for that matter are -
fair as there are i0 any State in the Union.
Referring to this msttsr today in the
conversation noted, Mr. Ewart remarked
that there were doabtless some frauds
from time TO time away down in the black
| districts Of South Carolina, bat no greater
or OF more frequency than in any State
where there are ignorant people mssssd
together. II there were frauds 10 auY
part Of North Carolina the parties guilty
of fraud could be prosecuted, as the
Federal officials are ell Republicans.
Mr. Ewart was reminded that it Woald
take good deal of nerve for any Repub-
licsu to oppose the caucus ediOt, bat he
iosisted tha: he would attack the Lodge
| bill on the q DOT no matter what the eau.
eus might or might not do.
Mr. Ewart also said he would be COM
pelled to fight to the bitter end the tariff
bill, since the Republicans of the Senate
bad stricken out the clause in the McKin-
lev bill, making considerable reductions
10 the tobacco taxes. The Senate Com
mittee wiped it all out and take the posi-
| tion that there shsll be no reduction
| whatever IN the tobacco taxes. Mr. Ewart
will put on his war paint, so be says, and
elaine that il the Southern Republicans
| will stand together and do their duty BY
| their section they can make their leaders
| come to terms.
Another serious complaint that Mr.
| Ewart has against tie Senate Committee
| is that they have put mica on the free list.
He isels compelled to oppose the bill also
on that account when it comes back TO the
House. Eight years ago Mr. Ewart ssys
that less thsa $1,000 worth Of mica was
imported, but last year over hall million
dollar. worth cams in, and it 10 increasing
right along each year.
| From Mr. Ewarl's district, in North
Carolina, the bulk Of the mica product OF
the United States comes. It amounts in
value, he says, to about $500, 900 per year
aud gives employment to large force Of
men.
The various electric light companies of
the country are said to be behind the
movement that put mica back on the free
list. They claim they cannot use to ad-
vantage the domestic mica. The stove
manufacturers of the United States, how.
ever, can use the domestic mica.
| Mr. Ewart seems to have blood In his
eye, aud if be does not cool down he 10 apt
to make some trouble for the Republican
bosses who ara trying to railrosd through
the House the outrageous Lodge election
