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 until daylight. The proprietor of the hotel had the lights turned out, except a few over 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 an early train and save a night’s lodging. The programme for tho farewell monies in honor of Mr. Blaine upon the oc casion of hts dqnu t lire for Euroi>o contains no hint of a brass band. Mr. Blaine’s friends ought to know that the most successful fare wells ever witnessed in this country were accompanied by music.

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 Irvington. If he wants to add interest to his parties he should invite Henry George and Dr. McOlynn. Of ail those who have been elected Vice President, Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, is tho only survivor. He was elected twenty seven years ago. Hamlin, however, is noth ing mure than an imi mated mammy. CURRENT COMMENT. The Negroes and Bob Lincoln. Prom the New York Graphic (Dcm.) The Detroit Tribune says the negroes of the South are crazy over the Boh Ijneoln boom. Well, if they have any feeling at all in the premises they must necessarily be crazy. Not Insane But Misguided. From the New York World <Dem.) The St. Louis Post-f>imatch says; "It. is char table to suppose that Jolm Sherman is insane.'’ Oh, no. There is great method in John’s feigned madness. He is somewhat crazy to be Presi dent, but his mind is in most respocts as clear as a bell. He is simply misguided. Where Peace and Comfort Are Found. From the New York Herald (Ind.) Senator Hoar told the young men of East Boston that there is a great deal of unnecessary fault-finding in the world, especially among the Republicans and the Mugwumps. True, gentle men, and If you wish for solid peace and com fort during the rest of your lives you had better join the true blue Democratic party. The Age of Kings is Over. Front the Boston Globe (.Bern.) The age of kings is over. It deepened into its twilight when George Washington took the sword of Lord Cornwallis on the field of York town. This twilight of t lie kings has been grow ing denser ever since. The nineteenth century will probably be their last.

The world will hate the name of king with the old Roman hatred. BRIGHT BITS. The position of a judge is an exceedingly try ing one, — Merchant Traveler.

From the Farmington fimes. hast spring the blue birds arrived earlier than the martins, and settled themselves in the mar tins’ boxes at the Knob Lick i Mo.) depot. When the martins came and found their homes oc cupied, there ensued a battle which lasted several days, in which the martins proved vic torious. They threw out the young birds and killed them. This spring the English sparrows came early and took the martins’ boxes, as the 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.

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 to l*arn to play mil dor Krencu horn."— Peoria Call. ITEMS OF INTEREST. An O'Neil, Neb., man tells the biggest fish story of the season. The fish weighed 140 pounds, and the liar says he waded into the stream, threw a halter around the fish's neck, and led him ashore. A man in Wilton, N. H., sold a colt ten or twelve years ago to a man in Fitchburg, Mass., and never saw it again until the other day when it ran away from its owner and trotted into its old stable twenty miles away. The Carson (Nev.) Tribune says: Twenty j years ago not a singing bird, except in cages, could be heard in Eagle valley, and now the warblings of the wild songsters can be heard from early morn till long after sundown. A German engineer named Henkels has in vented a window-pane through which a room can be ventilated without admittinga draught. To every square metre of glass there are 5,000 holes, conical in shape and widening toward the side. These panes have been adopted in many of the German hospitals. 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 nearest male relative of the lady usually makes 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. BAKING POWDER, P Ipsif | I !
