Prohibition .
The republican party of Maine.
in order to hold the prohibitionists
and prevent them from supporting
a separate ticket, which would
givo the state to the deaiocrats
have for many vears been accus
tomed to make a record on paper
in favor of prohibition, while their
officials have constantly winked at
the violation of the law. and thus
held lame numbers ol lawless
liquor sellers to the support of
their part'. All persons who have
any msiue knowledge of lxmtical
doings in Maine know that this
course is regularly pursued by the
republican pnity of that state.
Oreyoniaa.
There is hardly any question
that can be raised which assumes
a wider form than does the ques
tion of prohibition. It takes in
government and, as a consequence.
politics, has a bearing on religion,
touches health and largely em
braces morals. The parties to the
controversary appear to lx wlwlly
irreconcilable. Mncaulay some
where says that the most ridicu
lous spectacle that possibly can
be presented is the British public
when it takes on one of Us period
ical fits of high moraHtj. In that
case its virtue becomes perfectly
outrageous. The genera! course
is to assume the proposition, what
ever it is, then investigate it, and
afterwards break up in a effort to
formulate it.
Perhaps it is not too much to
say that a family likeness is some
times discernible in this country.
Prohibition is noL a new party in
uie united states. Jt comes to
the front periodically. In 1T2 it
fastened on the "Whig party, and
did almost as much to break it up
in one or two great stales as the
slavery issue. This time it has
taken possession of the Kepub-
licau party, but without the least
improving the prospects of that
organization. The peculiarity of
the Prohibition party is that when
it runs a ticket of its own it polls
very few votes. But when it
dominates one of the historical
parties it swells to large dimen
sions. Prohibition has been car
ried in two states Kansas and Io
wa by the Republican part y,bu t at
a heavy loss in votes to Uik'lf. Prohi
bition is not now enforced fully
in either state. In Iowa the con
stitutional amendment ordering it
fell in the courts. Jn Kansas,
though its vitality has not been
impaired, it is only tho. law in
small towns. The issue as it spread
from these states has become very
diluted, Outside of them it takes
the shape of high license, but
whether that is going to promote
temperance is an unsolved pro
blem. It appears to have an eco
nomic rather than a moral ten
denc. It is bringing some relief
to the owners of real and persona 1
property, but so far is not produc
ing any very conspicuous temper
ance effects. The indications are
that it will not largely diminish
the consumption of spirits any
where. Nothing can be claimed
for it in the name of temperance
but that it will make people travel
farther for their whisky.
A Paris special says: The ru
mored plot to restore the monarchy
in France is probably a canard.
Still, on the principle that coming
events cast their shadows before,
the story may be taken as an in
dex of what is considered possible,
if not probable, m the existing
state of public feeling in France.
One thing alone is certain, and
that is that the present situation
will not last very long. Paul de
Cassagnac has declared that the
Bonapartists are not disinclined to
throw their lot with the Legitmists
if a strong government can be se
cured thereby. The exasperation
of the clergy and the Catholic
party at the attitude of the gov
ernment toward religious corpora
tions is a powerful factor in the
situation. The recovery of the
Count De Chambord will ratiier
tend to preserve the present statu
quo. His death would have wid
ened the divisions of parties and
brought the Royalists into
line. At present public attention
is divided between Suez, Madaas
car,. Tonquin and other foreign
places, but when the events con
nected with these points puss out
of notice and France begins to
look at home, a change of some
kind will be imminent, if not inevitable.
Half century, and is increasing now
at the rate of 4,000,000, besides j
sending abroad 1,000,000 emi
grants yearly. This growth has so
far outrun food production that
Russia and Hungary arc now the j
only European countries that
count on raising all their own
fowl supply. Forty years ago
Great Britain alone looked be
yond her own soil for breadstuff's
and provisions. Now the utmost
resources of the soil are taxed in
vain to feed tlie population of Eu
rope aflor Russia and Hungary
are left out ol the calculation. In
1S50 the totttl value of our ex
ported food products wws less
than $27,000,000. Jit 1SX0 it was
sixteen times as much, or nc&rlv
8440,000,000. -Cattle on the re
motest ranges of Texas ami Idaho
now command Itciicr prices than
thev brought oh the cUivatd
farms of the old Atlauti sta! !
1S30. "Wonderful as our increase
in population and jwodueUcxt has
been, it has not more than kept
pace with the growth of uropo,s
demand for al! the surplus we can
produce.
Tus N. Y. TTffirfd prinU a ca
blegram in relation lo the Confed
erate bunds and svs: Aside
front the fact that soinr of the or
iginal foreign purchasers are w ill
ing to club together and fee if
anything can be realized, the
whole truth seems to be that a
clique of speculators who have
handled the bonds several limes.
and each time at a profit, have
been seeking a new excuse throuch
which to unload once more, and
that "Talioo the South" is now
their watchword. Tf the clergy
men ami widows who are the pros
pective victims of this new trick
could be made to understand that
the south has np reason to tar
anything for either the threat or
the bonds, t.he bubic would burst
at once, lor the rrash can iot be
sold at airy price whatever to any
intelligent investor in cither I5u
rope or America.
Thk Agents' General of all the
Australian colonies have demanded
of Ixrd Derby that he annex the
eastern half of Xew Guinea and
the Western Pacific islands, so as
to proven! France and other pow
er:; from forming ixmal settlements
and naval stations to the detriment
of English colonists in those coun
tries. The colonies are willing to
share the cost of fhe annexation.
Lord Derby advised the colonists
to take tlie islands under their
joint protection on their own re
sponsibility. He said He could
not advise tiic government to ox
tend the Queen's dominions any
farther.

was very keen to see an opportu

told his hearers that it was a com
mon thing in American theatres
for people, when they did not like
the entertainment, to leafe the
room, whorcujxm a considerable
portion of his audience got up and
filed quietly out. Oscar did not
quit like this prompt adoption of
American habits, but could not
fail to appreciate the point of the
situation.
