The Prohibition Party.


Many are asking, wherein is the
necessity for party organization
TO secure the prohibition of the
liquor tratlici We answer for the
simple reason that the old parties
are-both pledged to the support of
the whisky interest and are under
the domination of the whisky ring.
No great national reform has
ever taken place in our govern.
ment except through a party or
ganized for that purpose.
When the slavery question be-
came a burning issue in the minds
Of this nation, the old Abolition
party was organized and grew I'M
til the evil was rooted out; and al
though we be the sons of slave
holding parents, we cannot fail to
acknowledge it's wrong.
Now comes the Prohibition par
ty and proposes to do away with
this curse of a great nation, the
liquor traffic. We call upon every
good citizen, especially those who
have boys that may become drunk
ards or girls that may marry
drunkards, to come and help along
this grand cause. Ills the peace
of your children we seek.
"But," says one, 81 am a Prohibi-
ZIONIST, believe in local option, or
the four mile law Very good as
far as it goes.
The Tiger has been driven from
the country to the cities by these
wholesome laws, but there he has
entrenched himself and nothing
short of National Prohibition will
dislodge him.
Even when we have state prohi.
bition, the cry has been, it does
not wholly prohibit. Those living
on the borders of Prohibition
States will bring in the accursed
stuff from States who have no
such laws.
National Prohibition will do a,
way with this trouble; and being
wiped out of the Nation we will
be free from the blighting curse
of this demon.
Another 0bjectOr says, "But you
can never hope to reach that point
Well let's see. In the national
election, 1880, the Prohibition can
didate received 8, 522 votes; in 1884
1O,3O5; in 1888, 15O,369. The agi
tation of the question in the
States and growth of the Prohibi
ton Party sentiment indicate thai
we will have 100000 votes in 1892
If you are a prohibitionist il
sentiment and sympathies, give
your vote to this party that thu
day may be fastened, when YOU
desires in regard to this ubiquitous
business. shall be cOnsummated
There are numbers of good homes
men awaiting developments" wh'
want to see the vote get LITTLE
larger before they desert the oil
party.
"But," say they, 81 don't wan
to throw my vote away" If yO1
want the whisky traffic abolished
you are not throwing your vot
away by voting the ticket, but ar
swelling the vote, SO that in tn
next election others who sympa
thize with the movement, seem
the ranks swell, will conclude tina
the day of deliverance is surel
coming, and come and vote wit
you.
. If men were not afraid of tn
, party lash, and would vote thei
/, sentiments, the time would not b
, long when our country would fire
itself from this most disgracefr
business. God speed that time.

Charges Against Him in Connection

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-George L. Well-
ington, assistant treasurer of the United
States at Baltimore by President Harrison's
appointment. and Louis e. McComas of
Maryland, secretary of the republican ma
tional committee, and a judge of the SUI
preme court of the District of Columbia by
nomination of President Harrison, have
been rivals for the republican congressional
nomination In the Western Maryland dis
trict for years. Judge McComas always
won until he withdrew from the fight this
year, when Mr.. wellington was nominated
and beaten by the sitting member, Repre-
sentative McKaig. Now an attempt is be-
ing made to defeat the conflrma-
ton of Judge McComas by bring
ing charges of rong-dolng in
the republican congressional convention of
two years ago, which appear to have been
instigated by Mr.. Yelling ton, although the
latter is trying to keep in the background.
Mr.. Wellington does not hope to defeat
Judge McComas on a vote In the Senate for
the Maryland senators, Senator Carlisle
and other democrats are avowedly in favor
of his confirmation, but he hopes by means
of the investigation which the charges have
induced the Senate judiciary committee to
make, TO delay action on the nomination
until March 4. Some Of the anti Harrison

working to the same end and they may

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-Mr. Oates of Ala
bama, by authority Of the Judiciary COM
mittee, to-day reported adversely the bill
introduced by Representative Cummings to
validate the naturalization certificates
issued by the municipal court Of Biddeford,
Mer Mr.. Oates in his report of the bill
says it's object is to naturalize certain parties
whose naturalization by the municipal court
of Biddeford, Me-. has been declared null
and void by the supreme court Of the United
States. The question that confronts the
committee at present. he said is, "has con-
gress power to naturalize an
alien" He concludes that IL
has not, and cites the late decision of the
supreme court holding that the power to
pass naturalization laws is exclusively
vested In congress by the constitution
There has never been any adjudication of
the power of congress to pass bill directly
naturalizing an alien without the inter-
vention Of a court. The report, TO some ex-
tent, has an application to the cases Of the
captains of the City Of New York and the
City of Paris should an effort be made to

eoTHAM's GOLD SCARE OVER.
Secretary Foster Told That the Danger
of Panic Eas Gone.


of a Panic Eas Gone.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Information
was received at the treasury to-day to the
effect that the financial furry at New York
is practically over for the present and that
there is no longer any prospect of panic.
Money Is reported easy and exchange has
fallen below the shipping point, so that
heavy expectations OF gold are not likely to
continue. Secretary Foster said this morn-
ing that IS, 900, 600 in gold had been taken
out Of the treasury this week aud that about
81 100000 more would probably be lost
before the week ended.
Secretary Charles Foster makes no secret
OF his purpose OF repairing as far as possible.
within legitimate bounds. the serious inroads
on the government gold holdings, resulting
from the recent heavy shipments Of that
metal to European countries. To that end
he has renewed the policy 30 successfully
employed by him at earlier periods OF his
administration, when the gold balance of
the treasury was similarly menaced by
foreign influences. This policy In brief is to
disburss currency of any character and
denomination desired at any point in the
United States where it may be needed in
exchange for gold deposited in any sub
treasury, except that at San Francisco.
IL Is learned at the treasury this afternoon
that several bankers have taken advantage
of Secretary Fosters plan of domestic ex-
change and have already added $500, 900 to
the government gold balance in exchange
for an equal amount Of currency, and
further that there is every indication that
the treasury will speedily recoup nearly the
entire amount Of gold recently surrendered
to foreign dealers.
