TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.


Among the most important
questions on which The Legislature
is engaged in is the suppression of
in,emperance and the restraint of
the liqnor traffic. The people ex-
pect and demand some advance
in our legislation upon this sub
jec,. Despite stubborn and strong
opposition, and the monied inter
es, in the business, sentiment in
favor of rigorous repression by lie.
gal enactment has grown with
steady, persistent movement.
Indeed The growth of this doc.
lrine has been rather remarkable.
1t has evidently come to stay.
Respectful heed to its request is
wise policy and The best philoso-
ply. TO deride The movement as
y riotous religious craze, led by
lelirious fanatics and dogmaiic
cranks, is to repeat The mOurnful
folly oil those who cannot discern
and will not learn.
1t is idle to underrate its strength
or 10 prophesy its certain and
speedy death. Whether or not
we approve all the methods of its
leaders or repudiale the extrava-
CANT and indlscrminate %utterances
OF extremists, we mnst face the
fact that this sentiment has be-
come a dominant conviction in The
State.
The Code Commissioners have
carefully prepared a chapter on
The question, which, IN nearly
every particular, is most admira.
Ole. With less than this The pe0.
pie will not be satisfied. In some
respects it is an Improvement OF
former statutes, but not in advance
of the earnest demands of the
State. II the measure should b.
emasculated by amendments. Sc
as 10 disappOlnt lis broadesi
friends, we fear it will result il
wide spread dissatisfaction ant
possible political revolt.

THERE is no mistaking the signif-
canoe Of the money plank in the Re.
publican platform. 1t says what it
means and means what it says in the
declaration that the Republican party
demands the use of both gold aud
silver as standard money, with such
restrictions and under such provisions,
to be determined by legislation, as will
secure the maintenance Of the parity
Of values of the two metals, so that
the purchasing aud debt paying power
of the dollar, whether Ct silver, gold
or paper, shall be at all times equal"
The Republican party favors the cir.
culation of the largest quantity of
gold and silver that can be kept at
par, but not the coinage of single
dollar under conditions that will make
it worth less than 100 cents.

IT'S Cleveland again, aud his run.
ming mate is Adlai E. Stevenson, Of
Illinois, Cleveland's first assistant
postmaster general. The nomination
of Cleveland, at Chicago, was made
oD the first ballot, with several votes
to spare, on Wednesday night, the
vote standing, Cleveland 617t, Hill
115, Boies 1903, German 36I, Carlisle
IA, with 20,odd scattering. This
made Cleveland's vote 10 more than
were necessary to a choice. Governor
Gray, Of Indiana, who was looked
upon as the only candidate for Vice
President really in the field, was ruth.
lessly turned down, and a man com
paratively unknown foisted to the
front. There is scarcely room for
doubt that this will lose the State of
Indiana to the Democrats if they ever
had any show of carrying it. And
with Tammany aud Hill after Growers
seal p in New York, who is senseless
enough to hope for Democratic vic.
tory? It's too easy by far to make
much fun for the boys this fall.

THERE is no higher Democratic au-
thority than the Louisville Courier.
Journal, and in its issue of June IA, it
says; "rhe history of an organization
is the best index to its future course"
This is eminently correct doctrine and
it is for that very reason that the Re.
publican National Committee is circu.
lating documents which recite the his.
tory Of the Democratic party with
great fullness and accuracy. When,
for instance, it is shown that the Dem
ocratic party has never adopted a
tariff for revenue only and maintained
it for ten years without lowering wages
one half and depriving tens Of lhous.
ands of their means Of livelihood
every thinking man ought to be able
to do something in the way of judging
the future of the party by the past.

a one as might have been expected
from a man who is always felicitous in
expression aud vigorous in thought.

a statesman who feels that he has done
his duty and is proud that it received
the endorsement of his party and the
people at large.
