Tue Chicago News says that “President Cleveland displays practical com—mon sense when he declares that in the matter of appointments he will not be governed by the length of applicant’s petition. The petition may once have been a grand institution, and the right to make it may have been worth battling for, but at the present time the petitioners, who see the most people get the most names. We are glad the persimmons are not to be knocked down by the most- names.” It is an easy matter.to procure a lengthy petition, and if appointments were to be made in accordance with the number of names on a petition, some very unworthy men would be filling high and responsible official positions. - - ;

HUNGRY AND THIRSTY REPURBLICANS. .

Al this talk about the Democrats wanting the offices should-bear but-lit-tle weight. There is no tewn in Northern Indiana but that the republican office holders are holding en to their places like “ grim death to a dead negro,” and the republican office seeker is also abroad in the land. The Chicago Herald is authority fer the statement that over, four thousand five hundred postmasters, all republicans, have written to Postmaster-General Vilas, begging, .¢oaxing, and asking to be retained 1n office, and swearing that they will attend to the duties. of their positions faithfully and leave politics alone. Sgveral inclose their photographs. Four or five hundred mention the fact that ‘they are poor and have large families ‘dependent.on them. About one thousand declare that they were never very strong ‘republicans, anyway, and haye been more than half inclined to vote the Democratic ticket for eight or ten years. A score or more assert that nobody wants their places, and about a hundred assert that they are the only men in town who can do.the work satisfactorily to the department. -

POLYGAMY,

. It has about dawned upon the minds of the friends of polygamy that Senator Edmunds knew exactly what he was doing when he framed his celebrated bill for the suppression ot polygamy. The Supreme Court of the United States has sustained it in every particular. The Chicago Tribune; in a recent article, sums up the situation as follows: e : :

“The broad and sweeping doctrine is ‘proclaimed that * the people of the United States, as sovereign owners of the National Territories, have supreme power over them and: their inhabitants.’ Hence, Congress, in the exercise of this power_, may exclude any person living in pelygamy from the exercise of political rights. In this respect the opinion of the Court is very emphatic, and although the Edmunds act ‘is found deficient in methods for its practical enforcement. the principle of Na: tional authority over the Territories ie affirmed in the strongest terms, Under this ‘decision it may be regarded as finally settled that Congress has ample power over Utah and can divest ite inhabitants of the right of suffrage if 1t sees fit to do &0 in the attemp: to suppress polygamy. It -is equally clear that the Edmunds, act is not sufficient to effect this purpose, but that further legislation will be required.” : - . B ; —REPUBIJ‘ZGAH FLIRNESB_. P ‘The republican papers of the State have about exhaustedéall the expletives and adjectives in abusing the present democratic legislature for what the Republicans see fit to style an infamous gerrymander, But during all of their rantings and abuse of the democratic members, individually and collectively, they do not for & moment consider the condition of affairs in other States, where their party is in power. It depends greatly upon whose ox is gored. The New York World gives a characteristic illustration by calling attenfiog | to the gerrymander lately made by the! Pennsylvania Republicans: o ‘ “Those republiean. jourhals which: were so frighfully agitated over an al- ‘ leged democratic gerrymander in Indiana, maintain a piofotind and painfu” silence concerning a similar scheme in Pennsylvania. This last, however, is engineered by republicans.. A more outrageous or unjust conspiracy to rob ‘the minority of their rights was never concocted. By it the 70,000 demecratic voters of Philadelphia are allowed one senator, while the 90,000 republican -voters can elect seven senators. In the State there are six| républican districts, 'with a total Popula;tioh of 355,646, or an averap%e of 59,000, while in three dis».w‘ tricts fixed np for the Democrats, there are 387,336 people, an average of over 129,000, According to the actual vote of the State, a fair appertionment wo'd give the Democrats 53 senators and the‘ Republicans 27; but this scheme, the' passage of which is vigoeronsly demanded by the republican press, will give the Republicans 36 senators and the Democrats 14. This seems to be honesty ! from a republican standpoint.”

The Republiean Party on the Liguor Question.

BeLLairg, 0., April 8,.1885,

Epitors BANNER:— : I will devote this letter to a further consideration of Mr, Thompson's statements in the Leader of Jan. 29th and Fen. sth, and will then proceed with the articles { had prepared for that paper. In alluding to his statement that “prohibition has bees getback 10years,” I showed that the Erohibitiﬁn party had not been set back. Iwill now skow that the canse of [prohibition has never received so much attention at the hands of legislatures as it has this winter. Prohibitory amendments have been submitted in three states for the peoi;{le to vote on: Ib{{ the legislature of hode Island on March 17, Texas and: Oregon March 18, The Tennessee Senate has also passed an amendment by a vote of 57 to 11 and it is likely to. Ea,ssg the House. It 'doesn’t look much as theugh prohibition had been “set back ten gears" in these states. , The following temStates have passed. the ‘scientific edncational temperance instruetion - lJaw this winter; Biegon,‘ Maine, Nebraska, Alabama, Tennessee, Missouri, New Jersey, Kahsas,"Nevada.ﬁ and in Pennsilva.nia by 167 to 7. 'This does net look much as if temperance J had beonget beck i thedestates,

A law has been passed in Massachusetts re%umng saloons to be closed be= tween the hours of 11and 6. Anantitreat law has been passed jn Nevada. The Kansas legislature has passed a law proyiding for the enforcement of the amendment. Any official whe fajls to enforce the law will be fined mot, more than $5OO and be dismissed frem office. Any saloon keeper deterted will be fined and imprisened six months. Before, the law was fine or im riaonf} ‘ment. The restrictions fmj upon druggists are very severe. The supreme. court of lowa hag decided that any. ixtizen g;agi . proﬁ;gé aﬂ;iut a_saloon eeper by filing an af mur ing a writ of in;)pm‘g‘n to{., itas n.-] "nnmee. au'lt‘i lag; makes the saloon an nee GAn be proceeded against, mi “ml fﬂ’-!“f iy other nuisance, nf%‘

S i L T R T o giving the canse of prohbition a f’sé’t back it has brought it to the front as never before. Should the Frohibi ion party not realize its hqfes of becoming a damingnt party it will at least force ‘this question upon the p&é@}mfntil they accede to the demands of the people, and the above instances of legrsla- | tive action during the past wintex are. a confirmation of this action. The action of the third party in lowa first caused the republican:party there to submit a prohibitory amendment. And this leads me to the following statement of the Leader: I *The Elder’s ctaim that the republicans of Towa were forced to adopt prohibition by the third party movement is a glaring talse statement, The third party in lowa was the greenback party. The late returns only show 1,564 vofes tor St. John in lowa. Very-influential third party that to, force the republican party to shoulder the prohibition cause.”

This is another of Thonipson’s ignor--ant statements. /A prohibition party was organized in Jowa in 1875 because for ten years the Jegislature had ignored the petitions of temperance people. The nominee for Governor, J. H. ﬁozxer, received but 1,397 votes while Kiikwood, the republican candidate, had a majority of 30,197. On account of the smallness of the prohibition vote the republicans did not recognize prohibition. But in 1877 the third party (prohibition) candidate for Governor, Col. Jessap, received 10,368 votes, while Mr. Grear, the-republican nominee, ran behind his ticket, receiving a plurality but lacking 674 of a majority. The republicans were now alarmed at the growing "‘]prohibition vote and in 1879 the republican party made overtures to the prohibitionists that they would submit a prohibitory amendment if the ‘prohibitionists would stand in with ‘them and help to elect a Governor and a Jlegislature. This wasagreed to by the prohibitionists and both| parties. lived up to the agreement.. And:this’ is how prohibition in lowa was bro’t about. ‘Without a third party it would not have been done. In the light of these facts what b%come‘s of Thompsaon’s above statement.that my assertion was “g glaring' false statement.” When Thompson. charges an opponent with false statementsitisa clear case that he 1S i&noraq{g on the subject. While "the cause of prohibition is moying on with increased momentum the prohibition party is organizing everywhere. The boy-cotting and burning in effigy have strergthened the gartaao Were a vote to be taken now 350, instead of 150,000 would be cast for it. Cortlandt, N. Y., doubled its vote at the spring election. Portland, Maine, cast 150 for St. John; at the municipal election it cast 436 for Mayor a few days ago. In Hamilton, N. Yy., the prolibitionists elected their candidate for excise commiissioner by 40 rhajority, the democrats wvoting with them and the republicans voting for license. Ramapo township, N. Y., which cast but 26 votes for St, John, cast 183 for the prohibition ticket March 17. The Reg)ublicans placed themselves on record as supporters of license, since their candidate for excise commissioner was deliberately nominated with a view to restoring the saloons. 'Fhe prohibitionists were subjected to all manner of indignities at the polls for daring to assert their independence. Their ticketholders were freely stigmatized as liars, traitors and fools; (this last epithet being qualitied with a pre‘ttg forcible adjective,) Many who voted the prohibition ticket did it sl}&y ‘to avoid abuse. In Middlebury, V., immediately after the,Presidential election, the Republicaris were so saddened and so angry that they not jonly declared that the cause -ofy temperance had been set back a ‘hundred years, but burned St. John in effigy and swore that no' prolibition: traitor should ever receive anything at their hands. The other day the town election was held, and when the ‘\fm_s were counted it was found that all the seléctizen, one Lister, the:superintendent of schaals, the constable, and the overseer of the poor, weﬁ-e men who had voted the St. John ticket. : ' :

DID §F, JOHN SELL OUT ‘TO THE REPUBLI- (. | AN COMWITTER? | Thompson knows that tie charges of the Republican Central Committee that St. John tried te sell, out are a deliberate and malicious lie.. The evidence brought out in the case discloses the fact that the republican committee conducted a negotiation to bribe St. John. Steve Elkins, at Cincinnati, for ten hours communicated by telegraph with the committee at New York planning fow the bribery and the committee sent Kelens and W. W, Dudley to Cin—cinnation a bribery tour in response to Elking' summons, The committee were ready to pay over the $25,000 to Legate but demanged from him the proef that he eould deliyer the goods as chairman Jones said.

I may as well confess right ‘here that the sole reason I have had in a controversy with the Leader on this question is that I mightpractice a little on the gentle Thompson.

The victorgvof the other party is notour victory. We shall hold both parties accountable for their future conduct on the liquor question and if the democratic party presents no. better record on ‘tﬁe prohibition question than tbe/regublican party has, it is not imgossibie that the prohi{;ition_ party may defeat that party in the not remote future. R

- But is it altogether certain that the prohibitionists %efea.ted.the republican party? . Mr. Blaine said a rainy election day in New York did it. - That is to say Providence did it. I wonder if Providence is “a democratic side-show” as well as the grohibition party? Providence in sending the rain on election day is *‘an ally of the democrats” and as bad as the -Svt. John fanatics. If the charges of the Leader are true that the prohibitionists worked to defeat ‘the republican party, according to Blaine, Providence was working to the same end.t Aft;r all prohibitgldmsts ai’eblm retty good company. any republi-’ gans );ay that Bﬁnglin didyit, gthers that the independents gid it. and still other that Dr. Burchard with his three R’s did it. : v But Burchard’s alliteration was as much providential as the rainy day, That whole movement of the clergy of New Yprk city to giye -Blaine a reception was designed to counteract the religious movement toward St. John. In Michigan the Methodist,” U. B. and Free Methodist conferences had all de—clared for St. John. Most of the minis ters in western New York had. Most of them in north-western Illinois had, as well as a large per cent, of them all’ through the country. 0 The national W. C. T. U. had declared for the prohibition party, A stam pede of the church and of the women to St. John wasevident. Now tp counteract this, the republicans got up this ‘ministerial recognition of Blaine, 'The 200 ministers with Dr. Burchard and his three R’s did it. If the reépublican party had not tried to use.these 200 ministers to spite the prohibitionists they would not have been found fighting against God through tne church itself. The very points in which M. Blaine and his party dishonored them selves Providence used as the means of their defeat. Both Blaine and hisparty dishonored themselves in their treatment, of the temperance . people and this was providentially the cahse of their defeat. Both Blaine and his party honeyed thelrishman and the Catholics, going’ back on their traditional argument that Pat dnd the Catholics were natural allies of the Democrats. They forsook all honor in thus toadying to this element. It would have been all right if they had been sincere in it, but they didn’t care a straw for Pat, but they wanted his vote, henge thissudden right about face to “Romanism ™ It was but just retribution that Providence should use that one word to defeat a sycophant candidate and a sy cophant party which had- “become. all things to all men that they might gain some;” Dr. Burchard’s alliteratum had been good ovthodox republicanism in 'six national campaigns, why not in the seventh? The fact is any one of-a half dozen canses ean reasonably be said to be the cause of defeat. “Any one of these lacking and the party would have been successful. But Providence was back of ‘every one of these.several things contributing to defeat. Why did not Providence'avert one of these numerous causeg of disaster? Why did He give such capaéity to bianders The other party had become farmous for doing the wrong thing at the right time. Why this turning of the tables? Why has the g. 'o.é).'so suddenly became gifted in blundering? Why did not Providence give the republicans wisdom to conciliate the staiwarts, or the independents? Wh;{l not avert the Delmoni¢p dinner, or the meeting of 'the clergy to vindicate Blaine? Eyidently Providence wasn't working with the Republicans this time. ~When did Providence leave the republican party? Abeut the time. St. John and others did; af -the time of the last National Convention, wbep the party whese glory it had been to bs “the’ pariy of grand moral ideas” deliberately spuraed the grandest moral idea of this last quarter of the century. But isn’t Providence a rather “recent convert to prohibition te he go active?” Does not Providence *‘becorie particeps g{iminis by leaving the republican party, and does He not condemn Himself in condemning that party after working with it, for 20 vears.” But if Providence deserted the repubjican party on account of its becoming ax ally %f the liquor power would Hegain anything by permitting the ascendancy of the demogratic party? This very thing will iead o if;6 phandonment of eld issues and the division of septiment on prohibition before the nest matiopal campaign. ; The iord said of one of the Asiatic churches “I would thou wert cold or Lot; but because thou art neither cold or Get I will spew thee outof My mouth.” ~ Possihly Her may think the same of political parties as of churches.

It apgears that the law questions relat'va to the Oklahoma territory have not been referred to the Attorney-General for settlement, as has been stated. Itisthoughithat one reason for the delay intheappointment of a commission is that a secretagent of the Government has bezn sent to Oklahoma to investigate the s tuation. iDast : _ Attorney-General Garland has asked for the resu%nat-iou of Charles T, Ches!ey as Solicitor of Internal Revenue. - Mr. Chesley hasfilled this position formany years.

No definite line of action has as lg'et been determtned upon by the Indian Bureau in regard to the Crow Creek Reservation, the openihg of which by the late Administration has been declared illegal. It is/thought that some difficulty may be experx‘ence(f in removing the settlers. Over 2,000 have already located upon the lands. H Commissioner of Agriculture Colinan has declared that he has nointention of making many removals in his departmant for some months, There are said to be at least forty applicants for the position of Chi¢f Clerk, One of Mr. Colman’s theories is said to be that sorghum sugar can be made a staple product in this country. ! The I‘esi%llatioll of Solicitor of Internal Revenue Chesley, which was requested by Attorney-Genéral Garland, will not be ac- ¢ pted at once, and periaaps not at all. The Attorney-General wanted to give ex-Con-gressman Talbott, of Maryland, the place, but Commissioner of Internal Revenue Miller protested emphatically, and| it is un+ ‘derstood that the President interposed his veto. |

‘Gan.

T i 1 The French chamber of deputies has voted an installment of $.0000,000 of the Tonquin eredit, and will reserve action on the remainder until the new ministry is announced.

/A LETTER FROM MARYLAND.

EAsTON, MD., April 1, 1885.

EpITORS BANNER:—~With your permission I will address mysgelf to my many friends in and around Ligonier, which had been my home for over twenty-one years. It affords me great pleasure to peruse the columns of the BANNER weekly, as through it I can call up and have reflected the faces of my friends in my old home. Itis very dull ‘here at present, but we are all ‘looking for better times as seon as the weather gets settled, whieh has been very bad for this country. The prospects for myself are leasonably fair, but the tin business is overdone here as well as in other places. Thedrouth last summer #hd fall caused short crops, and farmers have bug little to sell.© Most of the wheat is not up yet, and that which is through the ground looks bad, The peach crop promises to be a good one and if thereis nothing to hurt it there wiil be a splendid opportunity to dispose of several of Stutzman’s Fruit Evaperators :

The people here are beginning to partake of the Northern spirit of progression, and it is not so hard to sell a new artiele as it uged to be. . Northerners, and some western people, are coming here, and the citizens are waking up and having-a litfle more emergy. This is a fine country and there are splendid openings for farmingand stock raising, and land cdn be bought cheap, which, by an expenditure of, a little Jabor and money, can be brought up to a high state of cultivation. Wheat is worth 92 cénts; corn 65; oats 50; potatoes $1; butter 25; eggs 14; lard 12; beef 12to 20c. Groceries are cheap. . e I was very ‘much pleased to read in the BANNER of the success of the banquet on March 4, The address of Judge Wood was read with great in. terest. The seating of Cleveland and Herdricks is but the commencement of the Milenium. The people are beginning to feel it now at Washington, and it is ‘just the place where it should’ be commenced. I trust the good worki will ge on until its effect is telt all over the land, - e : E

All of my plans were broken up by sickness in my family. It has been a hard stroke on me just at this-time. It will take many hard day’s labor for me t 0 makeit up. 1 think the illness of my daughter was caused to a great extent by too much roller skating. It has become the crazs all over the eountry, but there is no doubt in my mind but that its effects are harmful when indulged in to too great an extent., It ig run to great extremes here. Several parties have had limbs and heads hreken, Saee e
