It will probably go hard with tho f? not?t

Tho important element of the cost of dis?

The net product of this boasted reform is a

It is hardly ne?ooesary for Dr. Joseph Parker

TUE PROHIBITION PLATFORM.
A political party professing to be governed
by "religious cxinvictious, and embracing many
men who undoubtedly nie So governed, ap?
l?cala to tho pcoplo of this State for prohi?
bition of tho traflic in liquor. ?Such a party
ought to be sincere und rigidly exact in it.??
utt ranees. Tho seventh r?solution of tliis
platform declares that ?' the cxtcrndnatioii of
tho m:inulact'iu*e, importation unti sale of in?
toxicating beverages is th<* dominant issue be?
fore taho citizens of both State and Nation.
It is, thc?v?ore, the ? nly t -st of party fealty."
Is this a fact ? That issue certainly does not
dominato in the political action of 0,1117,I'll
voters of the Republican,Dcnucratic and Oiccn
back Trutios, against 150,30?! voters who at?
tempted to make it the dominant 1MB) in lhS4.
There is no indication that the numbers of tho
third-party adherents have so increased that
they can elect their candidate for .Secretary
of Stvite this year or their candidate loi presi?
dent next ycor, and consequently other issues
do and will dominate in State and Natii ?, by
controlling the votes of those who will elect
tho next Stcrctary and tho next President.
The meaning of this resolution apparently 's
that the woman suffrage resolution, v?hich
n-xt pi erodes, and other rcs<'liitii ns designed
to catch labor or gioenbnck votes, arc not to
bo considered tests of party fealty ; tho con?
vention does not wish bo lose the support of
men who do not favor them, and yet it wants
to gain the favor of voters who care moie
about these other matteis than about Prohibi?
tion. Is this a sincere or candid position 1
In tho ninth re-solution. "As proof ol the
subserviency of the Republican party to the
rum power," the platform cites the j ?ansage of
measures which were bitterly opp?*-od by
li.iuor sellers. It says that the Crosby High
License bill was passed "avowedly to popu?
larize beer and wine.'' It professi s to regard
that measure, which the emiro ?ipior in?eio?t
desperat ly fought, and the Vedder Tax bill,
the Mandamus bill, the Mooney Lxi i?c bill,
tho I vea Pool bill a,nd tho Cantor Beer bill,
as acts ol "subserviency to the rum power."
Is not this statement known to be untrue by
a very largo majority of the Prohibitionists ?n
Ulis State? The men of ttw Syracuse Con?
vention believe that one mode of assailing the
liquor tra?ic is tlio prop r way. Other eq 1 f
(sincere friends ol teinp<T:tn:.e, who believe
that other mod's aie equally ?roper or moie
proper, or are practicable when Prohibition
is not practicable, are here auda. iou-sly
charged with being subservient to the nun
power. Honest ded egri tes may hive voted for
this resolution, 1?.?? rantly or tkoughtlcs*ly,
! but tho third-party 1 ad? rs who weighed the
language closely knew ceitainly that it was
| not true. No Prohibitionist can honotly *ay
| that he believes Dr. Crosby in ? nor ; to say
? that he is a tool of tho ruin power is ?
flagrant inju?ti. e to nv?t sincere friends <?f
t ?njierance, and is disci ed i tibie in a platform
professedy inspired by religious <?< n*. ictioB.
Tho third resolution declar. I that " tho ex?
tinction of tho liquor traflic can never bo
secured through any system which confers
lie? nso or levies a tax upon it. Neither c.iii
ita extinction bo ?? tired by Prohibai >n, for
liquor is dally bought and sold ao a LcviTagi?
in Maine and Iowa. AJ? experience tea?lies
that the ?u;i;o extinction of the tr.iilic is not
attainable. What, then, is th'? duty of a
teinpeian;;e man?to enact a prohibition v. hieb
cannot be entirely enforced, or a r i*tri? tini
which can be? ?Sincere men do unii inne-t
differ iu opinion of that (juctstion, but BO hon st
Prohibitionist will pret/'iid that all who tiillor [
from him aio ''subservient to the rum power." '
The fourth t solution declares that he wLv>|
votes for a license or tax of the li.pmr tnnlio
''is as guilty of a crime agidust the State as
he who sells his vote to a corrupt candidat .'
Now the delegates who passed this tes? lutlon
kiioiv Unit many worthy Christian men ffOtOd
fi?r High Lio? nso, believing it the only
clTntive res? rie) ?on possible at that tini??. Arc
theso men "as g.iilty as ho who teilt bit
voters ?
A large majority of the 1,'JOO.OOO Totea of
this Stato sincerely d .sire to light the liquor
traflio as far and as effectively ns they can.
Tlioy do not agree about methods, but is ?t
not both cruel injustice and tlagrant untruth
to charge any of them with " subservient:y to
tho rum power''.?. Such a statte will be re
sentod, beyond a question, by a host of up?
right believers in Prohibition, as well as by
those who Keek to restrain the liquor ti a Hie
through High License*.
PEARL ASD SEAL FISHERIES.
? good precedent for the American claim
of exclusive jurisdiction in Behring 8ea i ?
furnish d by Great Biitain. Tho Gulf ol
Manar is a great arm of the Indian Sea sepr
ating tho southernmost portion of India from
the island of Ceylon. At the widest expan o
it is four hunilied miles and at the narrowest
it is a broad strait connecting great bodies
of water. Sine 179(1 Great Britain has oper?
ated a system of pBSjfJ fisheries cxcliit-ivi ly
? f?ir the benefit of it- own subject?. Many of
these fishing banks an? forty miles from ehorc,
not one of them is less than six miles. ? he
I boats env-aited in the fisheries arc eul.ji'ct to
! the ord? rs of the Government, and no other
j eiaft are allowed to comi-ole with them,
? Kngllsh officials for eighty years have directed
! and controlled the fisln ?les, and vessels of
other nati' ns aro not permitted to cruise or
tiado over the fishing banks. From tlic>e
fishcri s the British Government derives a
large annual rc\*enue. In like manner the
pearl fisheries of Australia arc controlled by
the same Government. Many of th ? fishing
shoals are more than sixteen miles fiom shore
in it,e high seas.
The pearl fisheries are thus conducted outr
sjitc th?* three-mile limit whioh international
law establishes as the bound of nation.il juris
I diction. Exclusivo privileges are claimed and
txerclscd over portions of the high seas, and
Vieseis attempting to poach upon the British
pr?serv?e arc liable to seizure and forfeiture.
This claim of jurisdiction corresponds closely
to that of tho American Government In Beh?
ring Sea in connection with the seal fisheries.
If tho distances are gioater in tho latter case
tho principle is the samo. The American
Government having purchased the privileges
claimed by Russia in those waters exercises
exclue!ve control in the cast? m half of Behring
Sea and seizes both Am?ricain and British
vessels which engage in tho seal fishcrh s In
defiance of law. The Gulf of Manar is not
a land-looked sea, but a broad gulf through
which rolls the full sweep of the Indian Ocean
or Eastern Ocean. In International law it Is a
?irait oonnecting the high sea? ami sho.iid bo
open to th?; commerce of the world. Behring
Sea is land-locked, fabo Aleutian chain stretch?
ing almost directly across from Alaska to
Asia; r.nl it (BM not connect open
bodies Of Yvatcr, since Nature v.ith
an impenetrable barrier of ice haa
closed tho Arctic Oc an against all
nations. These characteristic distinction*
fitrcn:,then the American case; but so far aa
Ike piinciple of exclusive jurisdiction is con?
cerned the parallel is perfect.
NOT A GOOD YEAR FOR DOLTS.
Wa observe that the Republican papers ?nn
ern'lly throuphout the State deprecata- the threat?
ened bolt against the re-election of Mr. Fat*?
to the Assembly from the 1st Chaulauqtia P?s
trU't. "'Hie Buffilo Express," which has cer?
tainly demonstrated that it has no sporta! preju
| dice npmlnst bolts In penerai, condemns this one
as "absurd," nnd expresses the belief that the
whole difficulty .vili 1?? orran?ted before tho
campnipn is over. "The llnchesU'r Democrat"
concurs In tie se views, nnd this seems to be
the penerai tenor of the licpuldican press of
that section of the State.
It is to be hoped that the dbsntisflcd members
of the party will think twice l-cfore they '??'t
once. Tho proimd of their complaint is that
Mr. Trost chanped his vot4? from Mr. Miller to
Mr. Iliscock, although ho had agreed to Statati
l'y the former. But his vote was piven to Mr.
Iliscock only when it wns seen that Mr. Morton's
vot?? had leen solidly transferred to Mr. Ilis?
cock, lmY-inp Mr. Miller in a minority, and ap?
parently ninkinp his nomination hopeless. Under
these circumstances Mr. Frost BBOt) his own
judpnient, ns men aio accustomed to do when
they find themselves in ? clumped situation. It
Is not denied by his o| pouents that he has been
fairly nominated, and by ? considerable majority.
It Is ihe universal ti-stiinony that he was nn
honest, alile Asseml l.vman. This Is not a P<>od
year for holts. Hiere should be no divi-ions
and heart hurninps left over from this OBBBpSaign
to make treablt next ? car. We shall hope to hear
that Mr. Frost Is getting the solid support of
the party._

WHERE ARE THE IETTEREI
Almost every family has a legend belonging
?ither to ita own history or to that of somo
branch of it, something like this: A lady uv?ng

had been received, but the next morning enmo

that a foclcty was formed in England sevetal
years apro, railed the Rod ty of Psychical Research,
for tho purpose of investigating those nnd other
nllcged phenomena of the sumo class. This bore
no relation to any of the spiritualistic movements.
Ilio society included many men distinguished In
ecience, who were influenced by tho feeling that
such phonoinonn,resting upon the word of persons
who wrre not lslievers in spiritualism, de?
served Invi ??J?9 tion. Ihe work was in progress
more than four years. Its result WM the. publiea

of mnny hundreds cf cuses of this kind of vnr?ing
degrees of interest and importance.

There are many cases in which such evidenoo, if

I'Or example, to ?juoto one of the stories given
in tliose volumes. A brother at Shanghai and a

so painful that each 0)1 Dit the next day to ?ho

going to as much Of an extrem?? as any of tho
beUevera iu telepathy th mer Itisi The ub-ence
of tho documentary evidence must certainly
weaken these rtories, but (loos it disposo of tb in
?lU gelber? Many of these alleged incident?? aro
of thirty, forty, even fifty nnd more years' stand
in;.:. What is more natural than that the letter?.
If ibero WON nny, in which they were narrated
should have been I? st or destroyed? Th?? subject
is ono of re?ut interest, so fur as any per.erul

doubt, no ?vriilng ?vas ever made, or if it was
there was no tJaOBghf of authenticating It in nny

who could do such a thing "deserves hliiim-lf to

absurd. Noti log ?oui?! lio note natural than
that u por-on hating such a dream or vision should

Women are \ery often tin? percipients in such

It ibo-s not follow that such occurrences never

dence to sustain them; It does not follow that
tiny are sup. rilutimi if they did occur. Often
th??.?? may M mere coinciiloncrs, sometimes tlie
illusions of an overwrought bruin. Often, no
doubt, persons nro self alcool? ( il, and remember
more thnn they should. But Mr. Innos's test Is
somewhat ox post fnefo. If, nft.T the stibje. t bus
been brought under scientific scrutiny, tho falluro
to obtain documentary evidence recurs In future
