No, no. The true method is to teach that
resolute honest manliness OF character which
can resist temptation-which only is real, true
yirtue-and to help the weaker brother who is

idea OF putting the whole community IN straight
Jacket because few need it is absurd. In

This is all very beautiful. But if this
is the true method why interfere with
the sale of liquor at alp Why not per-
NIT everybody who wants to to sell
liquor, instead of putting it in the hands
of few who have the means to pay a
bigIicense fee, as the advocates Of resub-
mission propose. Why not be content
with teaching ''that resolute honest
manliness Of character which can resist
temptation?

The spokesman. of the Buffalo strikers
aver that the arson and violence attend
ant upon the strike of the switchmen is
the work of outsiders, and that the strik-
ers are not responsible for them. This is
the plea which is always put in in the
case of strikes accompanied with vio-
lence. There is probably a certain
amount of truth in it. That is to say,
the Unions do not directly recommend
violence, and when it has taken place
they usually frown upon il by resolu-
lions. But this is not enough to acquit
them of all responsibility for it. If
they would rid themselves completely
of that, they must not only resolve
against violence, but when it is in
augurated they must step in and assist
in putting it down. 1t taxes ones Gre
dulity too much to believe that, if, as
the strikers say, the acts Of violence at
Buffalo were committed by outsiders,
the strikers were powerless to prevent
it it if they had SO desired. Giving the
benefit of all the defence they make to
the strikers. they fall very much short of
acquitting themselves of all responsible
ity for the incendiarism and other crimes
which have been committed at Buffalo.
But we must confess to great deal of
incredulity in regard to the truthfulness
of their defence. The only persons that
had any motive for burning cars and
throwing trains off the track were the
strikers themselves. They were the only
people that could possibly profit by such
proceedings. 1t is hardly conceivable
that the cars were set on fire from mere
wantonness or that trains were derailed
in the same spirit. The violent acts
were committed with some definite OBJ
ject in view, and there is no great doubt
that that object was to compel the
company to accede to the demands Of the
switchmen. 1t may be possible that
some outsiders so strongly sympathized
with the cause of the switchmen that
they were ready to commit penal offences
to aid them, but it is not probable.

CURRENT COMMENT.
ANANIAs ON THE STUMP.
boston Journal.]


If Ananias is not doing duty for the
Democrats in the Maine campaign, they
certainly have his modern representative.
A Democratic orator told the people OF
Westbrook the other evening that their
clothing, implements of iron and tin, car
pets, threads, ETC., cost twice as much as
they would were it not for the Mckinley
tariff" Anybody can easily imagine the
probable effect of firing such idiotic
whoppers at hard-headed audience. Yet
these Maine Democrats will wonder after
election what they have been doing to be
SO outrageously whipped.

who are opposed to his sitting at the
hearing next Monday to determine
whether Miss Borden shall be committed
for trial, that he has formed an opinion,
and therefore cannot hear the evidence
impartially. The Judge, however, is de-
termined to sit. There seems to be
something in the point, and under the
circumstances it is little strange that
the Judge, even if he is confident that he
can hold the scales of justice evenly,
does not voluntarily withdraw in defer
ence to the strong public opinion which
apparently exists.

The claim that the opponents of pro-
hibition insthe city of Portland will sub
nit to that form of restraint with any
better grace provided tits demonstrated
under a local option law that majority
of the people of the city are in favor of it
is an utter delusion. If poll tomorrow
should show a hundred or five hundred
majority in favor of prohibition in this
city the opponents would kick just as
hard against its enforcement as they do
now. They would claim, and with just
as good reason as they do now, that it
was an unwarrantable interference with
the personal rights of the individual.
They would claim also, just as they do
now, that it was not calculated to pro-
mote temperance, and they would bring
just as much influence to bear upon the
officers to slight the enforcement of the
law as they do now. The idea that pro-
hibition secured under local option
law would be better enforced or more
palatable is humbug.; and if the men
who advocate local option should be-
come convinced that it would result in
prohibition in the cities they would OPP
pose it as strongly as they do the present
condition. They have seized upon local
option simply because they have an idea
that it would result in free rum or license
in the cities.

The enthusiasm of last evening s
meeting means that there is nothing
dead about the Republican party this
year. The Republican battle line had
not been saying much, but it had been
doing great deal of thinking, the result
of which was sthe grand "All Right. !"
which greeted the speakers at City Hall
last evening. Now is the time to begin
TO force the fighting all along the hne.

The Argus has over and over again
declared that the tariff was always tax
and invariably increased the price to the
consumer by just its amount. A day or
two ago, discussing the wool tariff, the
Argus alleged that it effect had been to
cut down the price of wool, so that the
American wool raiser got less for his
product This was its exact language:
s1Those who framed the Mckinley tariff
told the farmer that it would raise the
price of his wool, and at the same time
would decrease the imports of foreign
wool The reverse in both cases has
been the result" Now how does the
Argus reconcile the two statements? If
the tariff is tax and invariably raises
the price to the consumer how does it
happen that the American farmer has
been getting less for his wool since the
Mckinley duty was put on, as the Argus
alleges has been the case? We should
like to have our esteemed contemporary
explain this phenomenon.

The opinions of the various persons
and newspapers as to the guilt or inno-
cence of the woman who has been arrest
ed on suspicion of being the author of
the Fall River tragedy are not of much
value, because they are not in possession
of all the evidence in the case. The tes-
timony at the inquest has never been
made public, and is known only to the
officers of the law who heard it. The
arrest was made undoubtedly upon testi-
mony offered at that inquest. OF it's
sufficiency certainly nobody can judge
unless he knows what it is. The few
who do know what it is have considered
it sufficient to authorize the arrest of
Miss Borden. They may be wrong, but
nobody can say that they are before they
know the evidence ON which they acted.

When, in 1884 in answer to the cry of
"Turn the rascals out" Grover Cleve-
! land was elected President he took the
people at their word, Acting upon the
idea that a public Office was a public
trust, Mr.. Cleveland sought to give the
| country a Democratic administration
based upon the principle of the greatest
good to the greatest number. To the ex-
tent of his opportunity and knowledge
he appointed fit men for office. He was
sometimes misled by his advisers and
party associates, and he made some mis-
takes. But he never persisted in his
mistakes; and he went out of office car
rying into retirement with him the re-
spect of all parties.
But while Mr.. Cleveland attached one
meaning to the cry of Turn the rascals
out" there was another meaning in the
minds of some of his political support
ers. The Democrats who are Democrats
for what they can make out of Demo
cracy wanted one set Of rascals turned
out in order to make room for another
set of rascals. This is what is mlsnamed
as practical politics" This is Hillism.
1t covers the ground of grievance which
Hill, German, Brice and other disciples
of the spoils system bring against the
Cleveland administration. 1t Is the eX-
cuse which makes Mr.. Hill his own can
didate for the Presidency, against the
admitted judgment and desire of the
mass of the Democratic party.
The attempt to impose Mr.. Hill upon
his party by forced march, as indi-
Gated by the premature call of the State
Convention to send Hill delegation
from New York to Chicago, precipitates
upon the Democracy of the country the
necessity of a protest. The friends of
Mr.. Cleveland are entitled to insist that
he shall have fair play in New York.
The party elsewhere will not be dragoon-
ed into the support of candidate whose
fealty to Tariff Reform is measured by
his proposition to repeal the Mckinley
act, restoring as far as it would be pos
sibe to do so renewal of the fight for
tariff reduction without the excuse OF
redundate revenue which compelled
even the Republican party to course
of pretended retrenchment Mr.. Hills
advocacy of free silver coinage is equally
repugnant to the better opinion of his
party. In case of his nomination it
would lose to the Democracy the support
of every Northern State. 1t is only in
spired by rampant demagogy-the at
tempt 10 prOHG Dy Ine mistakes OF uelu-
sions of those who seek to push to the
front question not to be safely or pro-
perly determined by the vote or voice OF
any one nation. More than all, the at
tempt of Mr.. Hill to force himself upon
his party should be everywhere and at
all times resented. The Democracy
should be left free to take their pick ol
mem without any impertinent machine
interference. Much as we disapprove
of Republican methods of administra-
ton, if reduced to choice between
Harrison and Hill it would be matter
of serious consideration whether il
would not be better to take straight Re
publicanism rather than spurious Dem
ocracy y.-Philddelphia Record.

THERE is but little doubt that the
people are with Grover Cleveland and
not with the combine opposing him,
but the people do not always have
their own way in national conventions.
Even when instructed to vote for some
particular candidate, delegates are
prone to do as they please and they
generally are pleased to act in accord
ance with the wishes of the politicians.
Peculiar influences are brought to
bear which convince them that the
people at home are mistaken and that
1t will be expedient to make the can
dldate OF the politicians their own.
But the politicians may be reminded
OF this one fact: They are able, per-
haps, to force Cleveland off the track
and force their party to accept an.
other standard bearer of their own
choosing, but they are not able to
dictate how the people shall vote at
the polls.

In one respect only is Wilkes-Barre in
advance of us, and that is in liberality
of religious opinion. The Monday
Methodist ministers meeting in that
city was addressed by Rabbi Josephs on
The Present Aspect Of Judaism. -
Those present was greatly pleased with
the address and gave the young rabbi a
sincere vote of thanks. They decided
to invite still wider exposition of views
ON religious subjects, and will in the
near future extend similar invitation
to some Catholic priest. These Monday
meetings of the Methodist ministers
are becoming an institution in different
localities, and are stimulating broader
thought and deeper research into many
vital topics. 1t is praiseworthy t.
notice that prejudices and narrowmind-
edness are disappearing IN many direc-
tons, and the action of the Methodist
clergy in this progressive line is to be
commended.-iScT Times.

In a speech made at the Home
Market Clubs dinner in Boston, Sen
ator Hoar opposed the demand for the
removal of the duty on bituminous
coal, by asserting that american
coal of better quality can be laid
down in Boston far cheaper than that
from Nova Scotia" There is another
club in Massachusetts which annoys
statesmen by questions. This Ques-
tion Club some time ago addressed to
Senator Hoar a letter, in which this
remark was quoted, and the Senator
was asked whether he believed that
the duty on bituminous coal was in
operative, and. if so, upon what
ground he would object to the re,
moval of it. We understand that the
Senator has not yet found time to
answer these questions, which were
respectfully brought to his attention
at the suggestion of many of his con
stituents.

In an article published in another
column the Philadelphia Record says
it would be matter of serious con
sideration as to which candidate it
would support in the event of Hill
and Harrison being the nominees for
President. The Record is not such
a hide-bound partisan paper that it is
going to support any man whom the
Democratic machine thrusts upon it
The candidate must fulfill the neces
sary requirements, that is more than
Hill or any of his faction can do. The
Record has taken a bold stand, but it
is not alone in its fight against Hill
ism.

Our distinguished contemporary, the
Hon. M. ). Quay, appears to be hunting
mighty small game this winter seeking
vindication in the Pennsylvania courts
because of insignificant charges against
him while the New York World invites
him to sue for damages on account OF
great and serious accusations. 1t is very
much like skirting around tiger to get
at a rabbit. When the Senator gets his
gun to go hunting he ought to load it
for bear, not for sparrows. The Pitts
burg and Beaver newspapers, which Mr..
Quay has sued for criminal libel, did not
say anything particularly bad or amaz-
ing about him. They intimated that
Quay was acquainted with Bardsley and
once received a check from him in the
course of some rather indefinite "busi-
ness" The W;orld charged him with
nearly every crime in the calender, and
then besought him with tears in its eyes
to sue for damages. If Quay is out for
vindication that will be of service, one
that may amount to certificate of
character, why don't he skip the Bearyer
Star and Pittsburg Post and collar the
New York World in earnest. This thing
of getting out howitzer to shoot chip
munk is not real sportmanship.- WASH
