The Republican Party and Prohibition.
The New York Prohibitionists intend to
nominate candidates for all offices in all
parts of that State next fall. This inten
tion alarms the Republicans of that State
and of the whole country. It alarms the
Republicans of the State because it indi
cates their defeat by the Democrats, and
it alarms the Republicans of the entire
country because it renders the success
of their national ticket next year extreme
ly doubtful.
The Prohibitionists of New York do not
of course hope to achieve any notable vic
tories at the polls next fall. Perhaps all
they aim to do is to increase their strength
and hold their voters together for the
national contest next year. They are in
earnest and are apparently confident that if
they make no serious mistakes they will be
able in the near future to whatever
legislation they please for the liquor traffic.
In the Northern States the Prolubitionists
are largely drawn from the Republican
party. That party doesn’t care how many
of its members become Prohibitionists pro
vided they vote the Republican ticket. The
Prohibitionists, however, do not intend to
vote that ticket unless the Republican party
accepts prohibition. That party, however,
dares not do anything of that kind. If it
should declare for prohibition it would do
itself more harm than if it should take an
out and out position against it.
Mr. Chauncey M. Depew, who has been
spoken of as a Republican candidate for the
Presidency, said in a recent speech in Chi
cago that the Republican party must satisfy
the Prohibitionists by meeting the tem
perance issue squarely and courageously.
It must, he said, advocate a higher tax on
the liquor traffic. He doubtless knew When
he made these statements that it could do
nothing of the sort without a very great
loss of strength. The statements, however,
were an admission that, the party would
soon be in a hopeless minority unless it
found some way to check the drain which
prohibition was making upon it.
The Republican organs in New York and
other States are begging the Prohibitionists
not to desert the Republican party, because
it, is earnestly striving to do what they want
done. The fact is pointed out that the Re
publicans of the New York Legislature
lately passed the Crosby and Vedder high
license bills, and the Prohibitionists are
asked if these bills do not show that they
can depend upon the Republican party for
all the legislation they need for the sup
pression of the liquor traffic.
The Prohibitionists, however, are too
shrewd not to understand that the Republi
cans are trying to deceive them. Neither
the Vedder nor the Crosby bills were in
tended to become laws. They possessed fa
tal defects, of which the Republicans were
well aware, and the Governor was bound to
veto them.
In Massachusetts the Republicans tried
also to make dupes of the Prohibitionists.
Their agreement to put a prohibitory
amendment in the constitution was meant
to deceive. If the Republican tactics
in other States with regard to
prohibition is studied the same insincerity
will be discovered. The Prohibitionists are
not so simple as to be caught by the trans
parent schemes of the Republicans. They
resent the assumption upon which these
schemes are liosed. They would much
rather the Republicans would take a posi
tion of open hostility to them than to pro
ceed upon the idea that they can lie
duped into supporting the Republican party.
Notwithstanding the pretense, therefore, of
the Republican party, of being friendly to
the temperance cause, the Prohibition
ists will have nothing to do with it. They
will fight their battle alone, and in doing sp
they are pretty certain to do it incalculable
damage. They will draw off from it next
year enough votes to prevent it from carry
ing New York, and without that Stato it
cannot elect its Presidential ticket.
Accommodations for Negroes.
There will, doubtless, be more or less agi
tation in Florida of thut provision of the
railroad commission bill that has just lieen
adopted in that State, which requires that
first-class accommodations shall bo provided
for colored people by the railroads. Both
tho white and the colored people prefer that
there shall lie separate accommodations, and,
doubtless, all the roads are willing to pro
vide such accommodations. If the colored
people pay first-class fare they should, of
course, have first-class accommodations,
though, as a matter of fact, there is a very
small percentage of them who care to pay
first-class fare. The groat majority of them
would rather pay n reduced fare for second
class accommodations. There are a few,
however, who have the means to pay for the
best there is to be had, and who will insist
on having tho lies*. The railroads will
be put to some additional expense
to provide on each train first-class accom
modations for the few colored people who
insist that there shall be no discrimination
agaimst them. Whatever agitation there is,
however, will noon disappear, and the rail
roods will quickly adjust themselves to the
new conditions imposed upon them if, in
deed, they have not already done so.
Gen. R. H. Anderson was interviewed
about the Vice Presidency the other day by
a reporter of the New York Tribune. “Vir
ginia,” suid the General, “has come to 1*
the one State in the South which is a battle
field between the parties, and if the Vice
Presidential nomination is to come our way
it would be wise polities to give it, to that
State. Tho South is not at all anxious
about this matter. The feeling is very con
servative with reference to pushing a
Southern man forward in the national
government. We realize that throughout
the North it may yet be thought too early
to ooncede us a place on the ticket. It will
come in due time and we can afford to
wait." However opinions may differ as to
some things tho General said, he was right
about one: “We can afford to wait.”
The drummer is a creature of many ex
pedients. At a New York hotel the other
night a party of knights of the road re
mained at table in a private dining-room

the table, but the hint was ignored. When
the party left it was discovered that they
had determined '< to sit up all night to catch

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1887.
O'Brien and McGlynn.
The little bit of trouble that Mr. O Brien
is having with Dr. McGlynn, John Me-
Maekin and their friends in New York is
rather annoying to him, doubtless, but it
will result in no harm to his cause. He
showed bis good sense innotpermitting’bim
self on last Saturday night to be made to
appear to indorse Dr. McGlynn and Henry
George’s land theories. He doesn’t know
much aliout their land theories, perhaps,
and if he does it isn’t a part of his mission
to advocate or condemn them. Ho is here
for only one purpose, and if he is wise he
will not permit himself to be drawn away
from it by anj r other issue.
It is rather strange that any professed
friend of Ireland should endeavor to weaken
him with the friends of the Irish cause in
this country by trying to get him to take
sides on an issue that is not even discussed
in connection with that cause in Ireland and
England. It looks as if the effort to get
him to sj>eak at the meeting at which reso
lutions were to be adopted indorsing the
land theories which McGlynn and George
are advocating were a studied attempt to
bring him into disrepute with a large pro
portion of the American friends of the Irish
cause. If nothing like that were intended,
then it is very clear that there are professed
friends of Ireland in New York who think
that the cranky notions of McGlynn and
George are of far more importance than the
cause of Ireland.
Mr. O’Brien was quick to see what the
effect in England would be if he appeared
at a meeting at which John McMackin pre
sided' and resolutions were adopted favor
ing the land theories of McGlynn and
George. His refusal to take part in the
meeting shows that the confidence of his
friends in his judgment and ability is not
misplaced.
The Nicaragua Canal Scheme.
The frieads of the Nicaragua canal scheme
are more hopeful than ever about that pro
jected enterprise. The death of Capt. Eads,
they say, puts an end to the ship railway
scheme, and the mishap to the Panama ca
nal, by which a large jart of the excavation
has been filled up, will eventually, they
think, cause that undertaking to be aban
doned. There is no doubt that the caving in
of a side of a mountain, through which a
cut had been made, has given the Panama
enterprise a serious set-back. It will cost
millions of dollars to put the canal in the
condition it was before the land slide oc
curred, and it seems to be doubtful whether
the underground stream whieh caused the
slide can be controlled. The engineer have
gone to work courageously, howovor, to re
pair the damage. Perhaps they will suc
ceed in repairing it if the money does not
give out. How long that will last no one
can tell.
Nobody seems to doubt that a canal can
be constructed on the Nicaragua route. The
reports of all the engineers who have sur
veyed it are favorable. All that is needed
is the necessary capital, and that could be
obtained if somebody with the energy of
DeLcsseps could be found to take hold of the
projected enterprise.
During the last session of the Connecticut
Legislature a law was passed prohibiting
the running of any but mail trains on Sun
day. % Tbe law provides, however, that any
trains may be run before sunrise or after
sunset on that day. This provision makes
several trains which are illegal in the sum
mer legal in the short days of winter. The
newspaper train from New York to Boston,
for instance, may get to New Haven
by sunrise, which, during this month,
is at 4:18 o'clock. It could go no
further; but in December, when the
sun does not rise until 7 o’clock,
the train could run clear across Connecticut
on its way to Boston. The railroads have
appealed to the Railroad Commissioners to
allow the newspaper train to be run as here
tofore, but it is not known whether they
favor the law or oppose it.
Senator Sherman is not the man to let
facts stand in his way when he wants to
strike a blow at the South. He said in his
speech at Springfield, 111., that the adminis
tration had filled the foreign legations
with Confederate major generals, and
that more tlmn a majority of the men who
represent this country abroad in the diplo
matic and consular service fought to destroy
the Uniou. The truth is, in the diplomatic
and consular service there are 100 men
from the South and from the North. Of
those from the South only six were indite
Confederate civil service, anti but fifty-seven
in the Confederate army. If Senator Sher
man and truth ever meet it is as strangers.
The New York Star is authority for the
statement that Lady Randolph Churchill is
still very much of an American. She exas
perates her lord occasionally by draping
herself in tho stars and stripes. At a minis
terial ball not long ago a German duchess
said she thought Americans rude; she really
could not understand how English and
Germans could live in America. “I quite
agree with your sereneness,” Lady Churchill
replied, “for after the reception our George
Washington gave both the English and the
Hessians in ’7(1,1 should imagine they would
find America a little unpleasant.”
“lam told," says Gen. Sherman, “that
within a short time a back county man
came into the town of Cumberland, W. Va.,
accompanied by a colored man, and began
to make inquiries as to the selling price of
niggers. He wanted to sell his colored man,
so he said, and he came to town for that pur
pose. It seems almost impossible that such
a thing should occur over twenty veal’s af
ter tho close of the war, and yet it may have
occurred.” Hardly. But what doc-, Gen.
Sherman mean by calling a “colored man”
a “nigger f" Has lie forgotten that his
brother is n candidate for the Presidency?
As an illustration of the rapid increase in
population at South Pittsburg, Tenn., and
the consequent scarcity of house room, the
New York Tribune tells thisstory: A news
paper man in the town located his office
over a coffin store, tho undertaker reserving
the right to keep some of his stock in tho
room. The newspaper man arranged to
sleep in his office and for ( hat purpose
bought a mattress, which he threw down on
the floor. Then for fear he might roll out
id the night he pulled a coffin up on each
side of the mattress, and so slept between
two coffins.
When Jay Gould returns to New York
from his cruise in the Atalanta, he will give
a series of lawn parties on his grounds at

blue birds had cjone before, The martins came
again and found their home occupied, and again
abattle began. The martins were victors as be
fore, and killed the little sparrows which were
in the nest. In the course of a few days it was
noticed that the holes in the martins’ boxes
were closed. An examination was made and it
was discovered that the entrance to the box had
been filled with mud and straw, and three mar
tins had been walled in alive. It was supposed
the sparrows did their work of revenge at night,
and tilled the holes so as to make prisoners of
the destroyers of their young.
Sentiments of the Mighty.
From the Berlin Tageblatt.
A young lady having asked Moltke and Bis
marck to favor her with a few words n her
album, the former wrote:
Luge vergeht Wahrheit besteht.
V. Moltke. FeldmarschalL
To which the Chancellor at once added:
Wobl weise ich, dass in jener Welt
Die Wahrheit stets den Sieg behalt;
Doeh gegen Luge dieses Lebens
Kamprt eiu Feldmarschall selbst vergebens.
V. Bismarck, Reichsklan/.er.
These lines may prove worthy of preservation,
and I may be permitted to .English” them as
follows:
Moltke’s:
*
"Lies pass away, truth lives for aye."
Bismarck's:
“ In yonder world, full well I know
Truth will at last the victory gain;
But ’gainst the lies told here below
A Marshal e’en w ill fight in vain."
Love’s Vigil.
James Clarence Harvey in Judge.
I watched her window for four long hours.
Waiting to catch one glimpse of her:
On her window ledge I could see my flowers,
As the night wind made her curtain stir.
The mellow light through the curtain soft
Came sifting, glimmering over the way,
And I thought how many a time and oft
My heartnad gladdened at that bright ray.
“Will she never come? Does she not surmise
I w ait for a glimpse of her dear form?
Ere she closes in sleep those dear, dark eves,
Will she lift her sash?” (for the nignt was
warm).
Slowly the moments creep apace
Till the mystic hour was twelve times told.
Still no sign of the dear-one’s face
For a fond “good night,” as in days of old.
But soft! She comes! My love! My sweet
I shall see at last. Great Caesar's bones!
They have shifted around, across the street,
And given her room to old Bill Jones!
Too Soon.
From the Boston Courier.
There is a revival in progress in a town not far
from Boston, and various incidents have marked
the progress of the work of grace. Among
others is relatedt he following, which has at least
the merit of illustrating a phase of human na
ture. Two ladies quarrelled about a year since,
and have since then refused to recognize each
other. One of them, moved by an eloquent ser
mon delivered by the revivalist on the need of
brotherly love, went to her neighbor, and en
deavored to effect a reconciliation. She ex
pressed her regret that there should have been
hard feeling between them, took rather more
than she felt to be her fair share of blame, and
said that she had come to ask if they could not
be friends agniu.
The other woman heard all this in silence, but
with an unsoftened glitter in her eye.
“That’s all very well,” she commented, spite
fully, at last. “but you ought to have come six
months ago."
The spark of grace in the heart of the caller
flared up an instant and went out. The blood
flushed in her cheeks.
“No," she said, rising with much dignity.
"You mean that I have come six months too
soon,”
And now the breach between the pair is wider
than ever.
An Awkward Mistake.
From the Providence Journal.
A clubman relates at*his own expense the
following reminiscence of his visit to London
last summer. Wishing to take advantage of the
alleged cheapness of clothing in London he car
ried with him no more than he actually needed
for the voyage, and on his arrival posted up to
London in his steamer dress, to And an impor
tant dinner engagement awaiting him, only a
few days off. It was an extremely hot day and
he was tired, but he went at once to the estab
lishment of a tailor who had been recommended,
and asked to see the proprietor, Mr. X. That
gentleman appeared, and the following conver
sation took place:
"You are Mr X.?” the American asked.
“Yes," was the laconic reply.
“Well," continued the American; “I met your
customer, Mr. A., on the steamer I’ve just
landed from, and ho advised me to come and
see you before looking anywhere else."
“But really, my man," the tailor said, looking
the dusty, travel stained visitor over from head
to foot. “I am awfully sorry not to oblige Mr.
A., don’t you know, but really we don't #oeii
any more help at present."
The American is neither vain nor lacking in a
sense of the ludicrous, so that instead of lie
eoming mortally offended, as many might have
done, he simply laughed and explained that he
wanted some work done himself, and on this
footing lie was at once treated with a considera
tion designed to atone for so awkward a mis
take.
A Shameless Youth.
From Till-It it*.
There is something delightfully interesting in
the coy. artless manner in which a rust ic maiden
repels the lover-like advances of her first beau.
Her maidenly modesty is refreshing in these
days of bold and forward maidens.
'the following touching dialogue between a
rural miss and a lovelorn swain was recently
overheard:
He was evidently trying to commit the hein
ous crime of putting his arm around her, for she
said in a tone of keen reproach--
"La, Mosel ain’t you ’shamed of yourself
now:"
" ’Shamed of what?"
“You know well enough."
“No I-don’t.’’
“Yes you do, too—now you quit.”
"Quit what?"
“You know; you ought to be ’shamed.”
There was silence lor a moment, and then she
said sharply:
"Now quit, I tell you.”
"Quit vhatf"
“Oh'you’re awful innocent, ain’t you? Now
you’d lletter stop."
"I ain’t done anything."
“Oh, you big story-teller! I’d he ’shamed to
talk so. Now quit!"
"How can I, when you won’t tell me what I’m
doing?"
"On, yes: awful innocent, ain't you? You
know well enough what you're doing. Shame on
you 1 Now if you don't atop I’ll go right home."
"No you won’t."
“Indeed 1 will. I’d be ashamed to carry on so
if I was a younfman."
“What is then? to be ashamed of?’’
“I’d ask if I was you- now you take your arm
right away from me."
"I won't."
"Ob, you awful thing you! bh a-a me on you.
Take it away 1"
"Shan’t no such thing!"
"Ain’t you 'shamed or yourself?”
"Not by a long shi it,"
"You ought to be."
“I’m not."
“Sha-u-a-ine on you!"
A I iKitman. with a friend whom he desired to
instruct in Englioh, was seated in a restaurant.
In came two couples and occupied opposite
sides of the siiine table, one man remarking to
the others "we am two to two." Four others
similarly situated said: "We are two to two,
too." ’'There," exclaimed Hans, “all that you
have to do with fhe English language speak is

A “crazy sociable" took place in Trumbull
county, 0., recently. The butter was bronght
in handcuffed to a bull dog, the cheese was
chloroformed to prevent escape, the coffee was
served with a straw, the meat came in imitation
of boot and shoe soles, and the biscuits were
loaded and unloaded from plate to plate by
means of derricks.
The body of Maj. Mauroff, aide-de-camp to
the Governor General of Odessa, Russia, was
buried with military honors forty hours . after
his supposed death. A fortnight later it was
found race downward in the coffin with the
flesh gnawed front the hands, and as the corpse
was still bleeding, it is supposed that the major
lived until the day of his discovery.
An Arizona owl, having selected a perch
under the cornice of a house as the spot for de
vouring his nightly catch of scorpions, left in a
week so large a quantity of remnants as to prove
he must have destroyed the reptiles by the score
every night, and of course the yard about the
house and the garden were correspondingly
thinned of these most unpleasant creatures.
In some parts of the wiue district of France
the church bells are tolled when there is likely
to be a frost severe enough to hurt the vines.
The inhabitants at once hurry out of their
houses and place quantities of tar between the
rows of vines. Then a signal is given to light?
the tar, and in a few minutes a dense cloud of
smoke arises which completely protects the
vines from the frost.
That was a very short. Sentence imposed m
France a few days since. A woman was ar
rested for bigamy, her two husbands apiiearing
as witnesses. They were both worthless fellows,
who had conspired to send her to prison. The
Judge, after looking at the two husbands,
thought that it was a crime which carried its
own punishment with it, and sentenced her to
be imprisoned for five minutes.
The remarkable fact that Senator Cameron
the other day took his baby from the perambu
lator and carried it into his house in his arms,
so astonished a Washington correspondent that
it forms the burden of his narrative. The spec
tacle of the great unbending is always impres
sive, but the correspondent was almost tis much
astonished as was Mr. Pepys when he called
upon the Duke of York. and. as, he recorded
with awe, found him playing with his children—
"like a common father."
Another new fashion in Philadelphia is the
“engagement dinner," at which the father or

the announcement at the close of the dinner.and
a pretty practice sometimes indulged is for each
guest to pick up a flower and throw it at the
fiancee, who is tints met with a rose shower
from all sides of the table. "On this occasion,”
reports an observer, “the bridegroom-elect often
kisses his mother-in-law-elect, and the father of
the Benedict in turn kisses the fiancee.’’
Ami .no the trees of Arkansas are some which
have peculiar properties, the Ohio buckeye, for
instance. The fruit and roots of this tree are
used by Indians on their fishing excursions.
They put the roots and fruit in a bag and drag
the latter through the water. In an hour or so
the fish rise to the surface dead. Cattle die
after eating of the fruit or leaves. Man eats the
fruit of the papaw; hogs won’t. Ropes and
mats are made of its bark. The fruit and hark
of the bay tree are used for medicinal purposes.
They are supposed to be a cure for rheumatism
and intermittent fever. .
The fund for the monument to Theodore Par
ker over his grave in Florence, Italy,, is growing
steadily. Contributions come from all parts ol
the world. Senora Concepcion Arenal, the
Spanish author and reformer, subscribes, say
ing: “Parker died far from the spot where fie
was born, but he does not lie in a foreign land.
The country of such a man Is the whole earth.”
Mr. Edward Wavrinsky sends a contribution
from Stockholm, Sweden. Some discussion has
arisen concerning the design of the monument.
It seems now to be settled that the original plain
and simple structure, which accords with Mr.
Parker's own taste, shall be preserved with the
addition of a bronze bust or medallion.
A CONSTABLE in Lincoln. Neb., went to the
house of a prisoner in jail for cruelty to his
wife in order to notify the man's wife when to
appear in court. The .prisoner in the mean
while had effected his escape and came home
in tinto to find the constable’s team hitched up
outside. He cut the horses loose and scared
them away, and then began stoning the house.
The constable was still outside and began firing
at the man. They grappled, and the constable
was terribly struck with a club. A fight for
life then took place that lasted in the darkness
and rain till 3 o’clock in the morning. The con
stable’s sKitll was fractured, and he is beaten
and bruised beyond recognition and cannot re
cover. The prisoner Hung one stone through
the window and killed his own child.
“The King of Italy is not of the same mind,
as either the late unhappy Ludwig of Bavaria
or the Queen of England,’’ says the Pall Mall
Gazette. “King Humbert objects to taking his
pleasures at shows and as asolitary;
he likes his people to lie present and shatv them
with him. At the opening of the exhibition at
\eniee the King gave expression to his disap
pointment at the loneliness and emptiness of the
hails. All official told him that the public had
boon kept out from loyal consideration for the
comfort of himself *ma the Queoti. 'I am sorry
for this,' said his majesty, ’though you have
flone it in good y*n: it is my belief that the
King belongs to the people as well as the jieople
to the King.’ Before leaving the exhibition he
recurred to tlie subject, again expressing his
deep regret. T hop.- that none of you believe.’
said he. 'that I am the sort of man who is shy of
being seen among the [leople. I have no grounds
whatever for such a feeling.’ ”
Accord iso to the Vienna Tagblatt , the Czar's
highest aim is to lie crowned “Emperor of
Asia on the site of the Holy Sepulchre at Je
rusalem. The Crimean War had its origin in
the quarrels over the holy places in Palestine,
and was a continuation of the conflict between
East and West which the Crusades left still un
settled. Every step of the Russians toward
Constantinople is thus a step toward Jerusalem.
It is of great significance that the Emperor Al
exander 111 confides much more upon the
power of religious enthusiasm than cither of his
predecessors did. He wishes to procure a more
official ansi ostentatious consecration of his re
ligious authority, and to have his position em
phasized :>s the supreme protector of the East
ern churches and the orthodox faith, and so
rally all the Creek-Oriental churches ami peo
ples around the person ami office of the Czar as
tlic Constantine and Justinian of the modem
world. This bold project has lieeu long in prep
aration. is never lost sight of In any diplomatic
movement, and no sacrifice of money is thought
too great to secure this end. Numbers of set
tlements of Eastern monks, of apparently
harmless and unpretending character, have
been ami are being founded, and Russia finds
the money for the purchase of the land.
The derivation of this word is very interesting
as of such an ancient date as its origin. Mrs.
Leonowens says in her “Travels In India” that
“in tiie year 111*3, Just ten months and two days
after leu? Inc the port of Lislion, Vasco <la Gama
landed on the coast of Malabar at Calicut, or
more properly Kale Rhode, ‘City of tile Black
Goddess. ’’ Calicut was at that period not ouly
a very ancient sennort, hut au extensive terri
tory, which, stretching along the western coast
of South India, reached from Bombay and the
ad jacent islands to Cape Comorin. It was an
early period so famous for Its weaving and dye
ing of cotton cloth that its name became identi
fied with the manufactured fabric, whence the
name calico. It is now generally
admitted that ' this ingenious art
originated In India in remote ages,
and from thatcountry found its way into Egypt.
II was not until the middle of the seventeenth
century that calico printing was introduced into’
Ettro|>e. A knowledge of the art was acquired
by some of the servants in the service of the
Dutch East India Company and carried to Hol
land, whence it was introduced in Loudon in
the year 161(1. It is surprising for grown-up
children, as well as our young folks, to learn
that "Pliny ns early as the first century, men
tions lu his natural history that there existed in
Egypt a wouderful method oft dyeing white
cloth." Calico cannot be despised when it boasts
of such antiquity. The shoddy makeup of the
present, day may look down with contempt upon
the calico dress, but "What, kind of a liucftge
lias it?" the calico c-u proudly ask.
