Browning, died at his hotel at Indianapolis last Monday morning. —j-———e“‘.————‘ Tt Republican Senator from Nebraska, VanWyck, caused quite ascene in the Senate last Friday by attacking the extravagance of his party. b Tue newspapers of Louisville have lately opened such a hot fight upon the gamblers and gambling dens of that city that the victous crowd had to close up their businegs and flee the town. Tre Mobile Register thus raises the - rebel yell: “Giéneral Grant'ssalary under the retirement bill will be $13,500a year. We trust that his life will be prolonged so that he can enjoy this salary for years.” | . v « Ir 18 said tﬁw the visit of Joseph E. McDonald at Washington last week was a very pleasant one to all concerned. He dined with the President and made several friendly visits upon Mr. Hendricks. ‘ g

THE welcome information comes that the peach growers of Delaware and Maryland, the great peach-growing district of the country, are unanimous in the opinion that there will be a good crop this year if there are no untimely frosts. i ; G

It 15 officially announced that President Cleveland does not breakfast until 9 o'clock in the morning. He rises at an éarly hour, shaves himself and does a reasonable amount of work by way of sharpening his appetite. It isan earlyrising administration, and it is rising in public esteem every day. :

Tue legislature last week passed a law reorganizing the Soldier’s Orphans Home at Knightstown. It is arranged that the Governor shall appoint three trustees, two of them to be honorably discharged soldies, selected from different political parties, the other §ember to be a lady. This is certainly an éxcellent piece of legislation, /

‘Tae Republicans at ; Chicago hdve nominated a ticket with Judge Smith, a quaint old gentleman, for Mayor, and the fire-eating dynamiter, Edward J. Finnerty, who only last fall degerted party for a nomination to Congress in the “Irish’ District,” for Treasurer: We predict an easy victory for Carter Harrison if he can be prevailed upon ] to 'make the race. .

As wiLL be seen by an article in another column of this issue the appropriations made by 'the last Congress were $129,271,999 less than the appropriations made by the preceding Republican: Congress. That is just so much money saved. After President Cleveland gets his policy -of retrenchment and reform fairly going deuble that amount will be saved. ' :

Tue gentleman chosen suceessor to Secretary Bayard.as United States Senator from Delaware is Hon. Geo. Gray, the, Attorney General of the little State. Heis a very fluent and easy speaker, and has had the honor of twice presenting to Democratic National Conventions the name of Senator Bayard as a ean—didate for President. -He will £ill the great Secretary's place ably.

.. Tuere does not seem to be any prospect of the election of Morrison or Laogan to the Senate from Illinois, and there is now some talk of David Davis. ‘We hopg that the talk is not in earnest, as between the two evils we most heartily admire John'A. Logan, while our enthusiasm of David Davis is not of such a character as to wish to see him again in the U. S. Senate. - ;

| Goveryxor Hoapry, of Ohio, says he is not a candidate for re-election, because he cannot afford it, his salary being only $4,000 per year, not half or quarter as much as is paid some of the officials-in some of the counties in the State. Hence, a man who can make $30,000 to $50,000 in his profession, as Judge Hoadly does, cannet, without, injustice to himself and family, make the sacrifice of holding the position.

Tue Supreme Court of Towa last week rendered a decisien maintaining the constitutionality of the late prohibition law enacted under the constitutional amendment. The effect of this decision, it is claimed, will close, every saloon in ‘the State. It.gives to any citizen an “opportumty to close up a saloon with“out trial by jury,and if the saloonkeep--er persists after injunction has issued he can be punished for contempt with a fine of $l,OOO and imprisonment for six months. . !

It 1s stated that the people of the United. States consume twice as much beer and twice as much milk as they did ten years ago. The consumption of distilled. spirits has also increased but_not in the ratio of the increase of population, and the use of wine has actually decreased. On the other hand the use of coffee has considerably increased. Uniting and transporting we find that the wines and heavy liquors have been steadily driven back in a deeade by the combined forees of beer, coffee and milk. Who says we are not growing in health and temperance?

THE CONDITION of the wheat crop is said to be very unfavorable and the prospects for a fair yield most unpromising, The reports are from the States of Ohio, California. New York, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, Kentucky, ‘Virginia,} Maryland, Tennessee, North Carolina, ‘West Virginia, Georgia and South Carolina. A decreased average of from five to thirty per cent.~is report-. ‘od, aggregating in the States named 3,010,000 actes. This shortage at the average yield of last year (thirteen. busheis) will show a falling off. of 50,~ 000,000. Add to this the reported damage by winter kiliing and other causes, which wiil average at least fifteen per cent., these States producing last year 340,000,000, will show afurther, falling 'off of 51,000,000 bushels, making, from present indications, a total shortage in the yield of these seventeen States of 101,800,000.

THE DEMOCRATIC RECORD.

. That the session of the last congress was a fruitful one none but the most hide bound partisans will dispute. The true democratic policy of reform is most forcibly shown after a careful review of the work of the two sessions. An estsemed contemporary repiarks that the actual results of Democratic predominance in the secoad session of the Forty-eighth Congress are exhibited in the subjoined. table of appropriations, now for the first time presented complete in official form for the consideration of all taxpayers:

Some members of the majority in the last Congtess apparently forgot why they were sent there ; Mr. Randall has not, at any time, for a single day or hour, lost sight of the special mission of the majority returned at the tidal-wave election. Other good Democrats have stood by him for economy and retrenchment, but it is depriving these gentlemen of no part of the great credit due them to say that the wis‘dom, " firmness, experience, and wunvielding integrity of Mr. Randall have made him the chief representative in the Forty-eighth House of the honest policy of reforin which ‘brought the Democrats back to power, and - which alone ean keep them in power.

The Republican Party on the Liguor

Question, 'BELLAn}E, 0., March 20, 1885.

The following is a part of the article which Mr. Thompson declined to publish. = The first part of it appeared in last week's BANNER, , ‘ This article was sent to the Leader the last of January and after holding it for five weeks I got the manuscript returned only by the i:nter%osition of a third person, aﬂhough I had written him to either publish it or return it. Mr. Thompson is yet a young man and has a great deal to learn, not only on editorial courteﬁy but on Jsersonal gentlemanliness. He demanded preof that the republican party was¢ not a temperance party and when the proof is sent him he declined to publish it. o THE UNPARALELLED GROWTH OF THE LIQUOR. BUSINESS DURING THE REPUBLICAN AS- . CENDANCY OF 24 YEARS, s This is my third argument in my arraignment of the regublitl::;ldpatty asa liquor party. This hasalready been alluded to indirectly but I now wish te state it specifically as an argument ina chain df argument. At the time of the accession of the republican party to power in 1860, the annual prc@g'gvtlgn j of liquorwas 102,00%)00 illons. What is the condition of the liquor business’ now, when the party retires from the Astt of liguss. sumliotiin] wl3 e o G Ul e R o u@é%&mwi‘i@éﬁ?&ﬁ

SOSOOOOOO malluns: - THAk & ey and half times as much is m ;,'-; i ed now as then. But uym i or |’ tie Wﬁlﬂmn%“ﬂmﬁ creased, Trued it has i cmmdﬁug;! cent. In 18601 the populatii;n’-tv% 1,443,821, in 1883 it | was 1‘0‘:‘3“!-55» U ,ym,m i@w'ﬂ i 21,556,679, which is 68 per m in-4 crease. But the hquor traffic has in- | creased 542 per cent. The rate of in. |, crease of the liquor business a 3 been 8| times as fast as the rate of increase of | Eopulatxon. - And the rate of increase | as been at a ‘cbnstant%gccelerated 1 rate. Please refer to oneofithe pre-| ceeding tables of statistics when thein- | crease for the last nine {lea;rﬂias*been 325,529,791 gallons and the average an- { nual increase 36,169,796 gallons in malt liq%ors alone. , G il ' hen the republican party came into | pewer in 1860 the amount of liguor| consumed annually per ca;ita was 34 | gallons. In 1883 it was 12 2-5 gallons | ]S)er capita of the Xopula.tlon of United tates. Three and four-fifths times as much fqr capita is consumed now- as then. There is but one way of aceount- | ing for this marvelous lgrowth. Tke dominant party was not hostile to the traffic. It must have been friendly to the liquor business. “By their fruits ye shall know them.” What does the claim that the party is a temperance garty amount to in the face of these acts and figures? The Leader said all that had ever been done for temperance had been done by the republican party dnd that it was the friend of temperance and while the democracy was the enemy of temperance. I rather think I effectually disposed of thatclaim in my’ first argnment. I have now shown in this third argument that in spite of all claims of the %arty_td the contrary it is the friend of the iniquitous traffic. Do I expect te see a’ change for the better |now under democratic asecendancy? Certainly not. =No change for the better, but this party lays no claims to being the friend of temperance. Onthe other kand I do not expect to see the | business increase any faster under democratic control than 1t did under republican rule.! I'do not know how the de{mocracy would go to work to increase it at a more rapid rate than it has for |the last nine years, 32,261,482 gallons per afinum. During the entire 24 years: | of republican rule the average annual | increase was 27 per cent, while the ‘pop- | ulation has increased but 3 per cent. | The prohibitionists have no’hopes of | the traffic decreasing under either of | the old parties, and hence they are rais--ling up a party whose watchword is | death to the infernal traffic, a Yarty | whose business it will be to throttle the | monster. (Are they consistent in aban- | doning the old parties to do this when they have become convineed that the | destruction of the traffic by either of | these parties is hopeless? Are the temperance people of the old parties con- | sistent who talk and pray temperance |and yet remain in these rum parties when here is a party at hand whose | central policy is “the pulverizing of the | liquor traffic ?”. Prohibitionists eall upon temperance men of both of the | old parties toleave them and work with the only' party which is the avowed en|emy of the saloon. *Be ye separated from them, oh my people.” i o

~ The Leader says some one who paid §4O a year to hear me preach would not ‘oW pay 40 cents, because I am inconsistent inonce being an ardent republican and now beinga prohibitionist and charging the old party with being a liquor party. Is it inconsistent for a man to change his views, to become converted on religion, or politics, or any ‘question? It was rather inconsistent for Saul of Tarsus to be such an ardent follower of Moses and then all of a sud‘den become the foremost champion of the cauge of which he had but just been ‘the leading persecutor. It was meconsistent for the disciple to bolt Judahism ‘and form a third party. It was incon‘sistent for Luther to tnrn his back on his pld church and fight it and build up a third party. It was inconsistent for Wesley to leave the Church of England ‘which had been a'nourishing mother to ‘him, and build up a third party. It was ‘inconsistent for Campbell to leave the Presbyterian church and build ap a new party which would undermine the old. Some of the members of the Ligonier - church were formerly ardent workers in other churches; but bolted them and joined what they called a reformation .movement. They claim: that they see more light and that they occupy brighter ground now. Very likely this very brother who now regards me as inconsistent has done the same thing in the religious movement that I have in this politico-moral movement. The abolitionists were inconsistent in leaving the Whig party and going: into the Liberty party and defeating Henrx Clay in 1844. 1 believe history affords no example in any reformatory movement, refiglous or political, but what the old liners regarded the reformers and the new movement men .as inconsistent. And that is a, mild way of expressing it. The reform-’ ers have been always! called fanatics and visionary. ‘We have new words to express it, such as cranks and mugwumps. The old party men, from the time of martyred Stephen down thro’ all the persecutions and the iniquitous, have had a boycotting spirit which has been manifested more or less energetically according to the.degree of civilization and the spirit of toleration. - Calling men fanatics and eranks, boycot—ting ministersand merchants and hanging in effigy are honorable in the light of the history of all reformatory movements. It will be true in this instance as in all such known to history that the contemgeraies of the cranks boycot them; but the people of the next decade or generation .built monuments over their dust and sang peans over their tombs. The benefactors of the world and the heroes of history are those who were the fanatics of their own age and organizers of new moyements. .St. John is to the prohibition cause what Paul was to christianity, Luther to the reformation, Wesley to heart religion, Campbell to the restriction of Apostolic Christianity and what Garrison and Phillips were to Abolitionism. The editor claims that my articles are wordy and without point, and yet he devotes three or four columns to angwer each one and it takes him two weeks to prepare his comments. I have been anxious to have my articles in each number of the Leager and sent them as supposed in time, but have succeeding in getting them in about every other issue of the Leadér. What I have hereafter I will furnish a week ahead so that they can appear every week. I will also see that each argument is more direct and forcible than its pre-‘ decessor. - J. M. MONROE.

P.S.—As Mr. Thompson has discovered that he does not want arguments any more forcible and has shut me out of the Leader I will now send to Tue BANNER my proofs that the republican party is not a temperance party. M.

NO HUKRRY, i __Here is what Col. McClure, of the Philadelphia Times, has to say on a subJject that is hishly ‘interestigf to a multitude of good citizens: “Many Democrats want offices, and it is most natural that they should. Derhecrats are only human, and they- like just about what Republicans like, especw.llg' in the matter of political rewards. The Democrats have been out in the cold for 24 years, and the Republicans have beenin. The Republicans took all that was in sight when in power, and now the average Demoerat would logically like to do exaitly the same thing; but the Republi€ans now crf') for eivil gervice reform, just as the qmc;%rats would if they 'were in %nq the others 3:11;. Both are si'mplg,,c uck full of human nature. President Cleveland was elected on the platform of civil service reform, and he seems to mean to enforce it in"his administration. He will doubtless af:—‘ E‘oint only Democrats to officeas a rule; ut he won't do it in headlong haste. He could Qﬁwﬂy ascertain ten or twenty | thousand F ederalfn&f;alp who must be removed af an early. m!mv{mm | reform is tobe enforeed; but he can't

something to say about those who go in, as well as about those who go out ‘To the iﬁﬁtﬁou‘s Demecrat who thinks that Cleveland’s election means his immediate induction mnto a snug office, and who is inclined to rush off to Washington at once with a bundle of testi-. monials from the werkers of the party, ‘we have enly one word of advice to give. It isthe word that Punch have to young felks about te get married— Don't. : The President and his Cabinet have no time as yet to consider removals from office and the selection of successors, and the sooner the place-hunt-ers shake the dust of Washington from their feet, the @ooner are removals likely to begin. Crowding the rooms of Cabinet officers to importune them for early action, will do just ne good at all, and it may do much harm to the erowders. By and by the question’ of getting worthy for unworthy officers will be reached, and then there will be considerate attion. There will be no break-neck speed in making appointments. It isn’t Cleveland’s way, and it ig not in accord with his proclaimed golic_v. He will make haste slowly, and i i( making haste slowly he will be quite likely to make the more speed in selecting public officials who will be an honor to the party and to the country. Don’t rush things; den’t! :

It is with sadness that we rpcord the death of Miss Ida Marshall on the 18th inst,, at the home of her brother at Rome City. The funeral rites were perfermed on Friday at the above place, by Rev, Paschall. The deceased was 23 years, Q months and 29 days old, and an exemplary and faithful member of the M, E. church of this place, where she leaves-a host of sorrowing friends. During her'long and tedious suffering from consumption her cheerful and uncomplaining patience snd unwavering trust in Him who doeth all things well was & human reflection of the scene on the Cross, and a mirage of God’s love shining throngh the face of Jesus seemed over to beam from her countenance.

In executive session Thursday the Senate ratified the treaty with the Khedive of Egypt which extends to the United States the commercial privileges which England enjoys. The Senate also ratified the convention relating to the boundary line between this country and Mexico.

Garland intends to follow in thecivilservice track. He says that he will not re« move any clerk in his department who has proved himself efficient. The clerks are not to be allowed to work Sundays. It has been said that the clause in the last Pension bill providing that the admission of a soldier to the army should be regarded as proof of his previous sound condition would cost the Government immense sums of money. The apprehension does not, however, seem to have been justified, the proportion of this ¢'ass of cases being only about one in a hundred of the pension claims not yet allowed.

1t is said that the Administration has determined to compel all cattle to be removed from Oklahoma and all other public lands; also to require the removal of all fencing on lands of the Government.

One of President Cleveland’s hobbies is that he will appoint no manto office who is not physically robust.

St. John and the Bemijohn. (Continued from last week.)

7. The W. C.T. U. demands a new political party, though he admitted there was some division on the subject. One of the prominent ladies now opposed to such a party, was on record as having favored in strong terms at the St. Louis National Convention. Mr. Cook here read a letter from Mrs. Foster to the St. Louis Convention, endorsing t-hg'sepamt.e party movement, and said her reply to this showing reminded bim of that of the woman who was a strong advocate of woman’s rights and was always say‘ing she had never had any occasion for a man’s help in any emergencies, Walking with a gentleman friend ‘through a crowded street, in crossing a bridge, she would have been pushed ‘into the canal, but was rescued by the 'masculine.strength of her friend, who ‘said to her, “Can you ever say again that you never had any need for a mans help ?” “What do you suppose ‘her answer was ?” said Mr. Cook. *lt consisted of just two words. ‘You hush.’” [Great Laughter.] Here Mr. Cook read another extract which struck the fancy of a man with brawny hands in the upper gallery, and he brought his hands together with a single loud percussion, in which nobody joined. There was general sup - pressed merriment all over the house at this awkward predicament, wuntil Mr. Cook, turning his face in the direction whence the issolated cheer proceeded, exclaimed gruffly, ‘“You hush!” Then the audience roared and clapped for some time. It was this spark of humor that ignited the combustible assembly and setv it roaring. | 3 : 8 A national prohibition party had been formed, and could not well be abandoned.’ He said the question was not whether it was wise in 1884 to form such a party, but is it the best policy now, in order to get ready for 1888. :

9 There is nothing the liquor traffie fears so much as such a party. 10 Finally the insolence and criminality of the whiskey ring are increasing 80 rapidly that it is to be feared if it goes unchecked much longer municipal missrule may have to be put down by millitary force. He read extracts showing how the temperance sentiment 'is increasing in ‘the Catholic Chnrch; how it is advancing to Canada and in the British Parliament, and Insisted that he was -not teo fast in urging this forward movement here. He was a Republican, he said, and loved that party for what it had done but he loved the nation more. [Applause.] He prayed God that there might come such a recrystalization of parties as would. bring the best elements out of the old parties and put them in a new party of progress and reform whose chief aim would be the suppression of the liquoer traffic. :
