The prohibitiOn Scandal.
(NeW Haven JOurnal-Fourier.

(NcW Haven JOurna1-FOurier.)
 The state of Connecticut has req son to be proud of herself that she refused to be party to the ratification of the prohibition amendment, and her people have reason to be proud that her representatives in both houses Of the congress of the United States re- fused to have anything to do with a movement hOnCy-cOmbcd with false prctcnsc and hypocrisy. It is still fur thcr cause for gratitude that the rep rc&cntatiNcS of this state declined 70 vote against the presidents veto of tho CnGOrrCmen hlll.
 We have not been edilicd by the part President Wilson has hitherto O played in this dry drama but we have OnN unstjntcd praise for his veto uf this proposed enforcement bill. The :IynesS with which the prohibition leaders in congress intcrWoNc in this act the pCrpCt tuation of the war pro hibiton act and Inc means of cnforc- ing the constitutional amendment was cha rartC tCri$tir of the entire mONCm cut to catch the country unaware in mo ment of great national peril, and take advantage of it's War emotions. Ii is to the everlasting credit of the preSl- dent that he refuses to become a par nCr in any such crOOkCdneSs. her or not it would be a bad thing for he country to go wet again until the time SCt for the enforcement of the rOnSti- tuition mandate is a subject apar from tho matter in hand. The attempt to make the war prohibition act a part of the enforcement act. when the eN cu%c for the perpetuation of 1t ceased to exist some time ago. was q sean dHlouSlN immoral enterprise and mer- itcd the stern rchukc Of tn" chief cN- CCutiVc.
 We wish mightilN that Mr, Wilson had said this when the controversy was before congress: 'In all matters having to do with the personal habits and customs of large numbers of our people, we must be certain that the established processes Of legal change arc followed" Had this warning been sounded when the amendment was before tho r'nSreSS for COnSid erat ion an error of .judgm ent might have been avoided which has ever since added to a sense of personal injury and bids fair to endure for a long time. Tho people should have voted on the ques- tion direct.

TRUE GREATNESS

I know that he is truly great Because he stopped to kiss a child And dropped the heavy cares of state That burdened him and gently
 smiled, And with the stranger on the way He gladly passed the time of day. I know that he is truly fine Because q mother sought his door And unto her he made no sign That greater problems vexed him
 sore. But listened, till her wants were
 known. AS though that mother were his own. I know that he is truly man, Because, despite his wealth and He lives unto the simple plan That makes us one and all the
 same. Though he has done and given much He has not lost the human touch.

The League of Cities.
Brid gcport j'oSD

According to plans, j.ridgcport's al dermcn are going to r., to form what might be called "Iraguc of cities" for the purpose of fighting the zone trolley system in the state of Connec- ticut For this purpose they will try to interest the other municipalities in a joint drive against the trolley plan.
 But our aldermen, only a few months ago, had put before them the report of one of the best known trolley experts in the country, cm- ployed by Mayor Wilson's traffic com mission, who pointed out that in his opinion Bridgeport's trolley lines could be self supporting on five cent fare, but that they were not self supporting now because the money that Bridgeport trolley riders arc paE< ing in the form of fares has to spread oNer/ other lines around the state which are doing business at loss.
 Instead of recommending that Bridgeport get together with other cities where the trolley business is a losing proposition, thus forcing Bridgeport to assume a part of the burden of other communities this man recommended that Bridgeport should move 10 get it's own trolley lines separated. predicting that if this step was taken. it would be found that Brdaeport's lines would be self support 'nG and return d revenue on a five cent fare.

TO THE FRIENDS OF TEMPER
ANCE IN BLUE EARTH
COUNTY.

Mankato, Minn., August 10, 1882
The committee appointed by the pro-
hibition convention held in Mankato,
July &c, 1882, to further the cause of
constitutional prohibition in Blue
Earth county, by circulating petit
tiors and holding local meetings for
the purpose of influencing the voters
of the county, so that they will send
men to the legislature who will favor
the submitting to a vote of the peo-
pie of an amendment to the cOnSti-
tuition similar to that recently passed
by the Legislature and ratified by
the people of Iowa, would respect
fully ask all lovers of temperance in
every town in the county to organize
by appointing one or two of their best
men or women to canvass the town.
We want to krow that some one is
at work in every tOwE. We do moi
wish to pledge any one vote for pro-
hibition, but we do wish to pledge
every voter rot to vote for any per-
son to be member of the legislature
of the state of Minnesota, to meet
January, 1888, who has not pledged his
sacred honor as a mar, to vote in
the Legislature assembled, for a bill
which shall submit to the people of
this state, for their approval or re-
lection, an amendment to the con-
stitution of this state, which shall
prohibit within its Owr bounds, "the
importation, manufacture and sale of
all intoxicating liquors as bever-
age" There can be mo objection to
the submission of such a proposition
to vote OF the people, for as our
noble Lincoln said, this is a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people," the people should
decide such questions. While we be-
lieve our country had new birth of
freedom" when the curse of slavery
was wiped out, SO we believe that we
will have a mich higher birth of
freedom" when the curse of intemp-
erance is put under the iron hand of
a constitutional law, made by the
votes Of the people. While we do not
ask the political parties to endorse
prohibition, we do ask them to en-
dcrse this great question by instruct
ing their legislative candidates to
support ard work for this question
in the legislature. We wish to send
pledges, tracts and papers to every
town in the country, and We would
like to have I'll temperance men or
women in the different towns to
send their names to Ira B. Reynolds,
Chairman, Eagle Lake, Minn-Ira
