It was time to teach Kearney, and tho class of men whom he was inisleading into a revolt against organized society, that pnbli¢safely and the Idws of the country cannot be utterly defled with Impu- nity. It was proper to begin this lesson with the man: who Is chletly responsible for thy Jawless attitude of the discontented ciagsesin San Francisco. Itisnot to be dented that the laboring elnsses of California, in common with tho enpltalists and business-men, have suffered sorely from the genoral depression that has prevatled in that State during the past few years. Some of the causes of this depression were within the control of the people, but others were nat, ‘The fallure of the wlnes, the reaction from excessive speculation, the oppression Incident to-large ownership of lands dating from the Spanish grants, the de- celina in Industry and trade, and the compe- tltlon of Chinese cheap Iabor haye been the clilef influences in producing the discontent among the Inboring classes.

The Wisconsin Legislature, which ad- Journed yesterday, has been in session only sixty-threo days, and Ins done Its work Ina prompt and intelligent manner, This ts the reward whieh the good people of Wisconsin have for electing a Republican Legisinture, Several propositions for constitutlonal Amendments were agreed to Ju order that the people may vote upon and settle thom, Among those of general interest wag ono which confers upon women the right to vote. A very few people ean always get up a tre- mendous agitation over this strong-minded subject, and we have no doubt that the Legistatura of Wisconsin was given no rest until it agreed to submit a female-suffrage amendment to the vote of the State. ‘Thore {sno objection to taking a“ plebisclt” upon tho proposition, since other constitutional nmendinents are to be submitted, and no ox- pense attaches to the addition of this one, Nor Is it worth while to discuss tho matter for tho present, since it Is merely a question how jorge a majority will be polled against it, A more practical matter is the proposition to adopt biennial sesslons of the Legislature, and there {fs Ilttle doubt that this will mect with popular np- proval. Experience in other States lings proved that Legislative sessions once in two years suffice for nll tho needs of the State, and thus save the peoples large amount of money and damaging tinkering of the laws, No State can have too little Inw-making, A session once in four yenrs ig really enough. One act of tho Wisconsin Legisinture was to refuse to pass a certain prohibitory law, which was voted down In the Senate a few days ago. The proposition was to prohibit the manufacture ond salo of all alcoholic liquors,“ except native wines and beer, and ox- cept for mechanicaland medicinal purposes.” It was a foolish proposition, aud the Jaw desIred by the prohibitionists would not have achieved any useful purpose. Its only practical cifect would hays been to disorimi- nate agalust tho highwine manufacturers of Wiscousin, for tho manufacture thereof would have continued In adjoining States. As to the sale of liquors, tho history of sumptuary legislation everywhere has proved that it ennnot bo prohibited offectively. The philo- sophie reason for this universal failure to enforco prohibition’ may be found in tho theory known no correlation of forces. Thore isa given amount of opposition to tho con- sumption of intoxicating Mquors in the State of Wisconsin. In tho absence of o probib- Story law this opposition asserts Itsolf in the form of moral sunsion. Parents, guardians, and frlonds, wives, sisters, and sweetheuris, churches, societies, and clubs fevl tho ro- sponsibility of urging temperance, Whon- oyer the foreo‘of law ls invoked to restraln adictetic appetite thore 1s necessarily 9 di- version of the moral forees that had previ- ously worked against it, ‘[he power and influence of the fempernnes peopta nro ox- pended In the effort toestablish a legal prohi- bitlon, and to enforco it by espionage and con- stabulary, The responsibillty for encouraging abstinence Ia lifted from the temperanca people and transferred to the politicians and Jaw officers of tho State. But this diversion of the temperance power Is fatal to its ef- elenoy. Thousands of men are luduced to quit drinking altogether, or to quit for 5 tne, or to drink less, or to confina tholr drinking to wine ani beer, by personal np- neals and social jufluences, Dut when those powerful restraints glve way to o reliance upon politics and policemen tho law 1s prac- tieallya dead letter, and It always so becomes: sooner or later; then tho distribution of the anti-drinking force amounts to its noutrall- zation, and thoro Is less restraint than ever before upon the vice of intemporance. ‘Whether or not the Wisconsin legislators argued out the proposition Iu this philosophlo way, thoy roached tho correct conclusion in tho Interests of temperance when they re fused to substitute tho political mothod for the moral and social influeuces that restrain intemperance, ‘The people of Wisconsin ought to be, and we bolleve the grent major ity of thom are, satisfled with tho failures and errors. of the political prohibition that has been tried in Ohio and other States, PAIR PLAY OR NO VICTORY. Tho contest over the furlhcaming Repub- Jican Presfdential nomination {4 waxlng hot and passionate, There isa cortain austerity of manner obseryablo In the {nterconrse of old, warm friends oven, who uro divided In thelr Presidential preferences, Three months ago It was agreed by al! Republicans that tha portentous nature of the crisis iin- peratlvely demanded a surrender of personal partisanship in the interest of the general welfire, 1b was Insisted that the Conven- tlon should bo so formed as to Insuro the wisest deliboration, While politicians frankly declared as usual that they would lnvor and vote for the election of tho noniines whoever he naught be, they were equally frank fn admitting that there wore thousands of Republicans of whom. ‘such party fealty could not reasonably be ox- pected, and honco that the nominee must bo selected with a ylew of concliluting to the utmost all shades of Republican opinion, Buton this judicial ylew of the caso cortain of the politicians of Ponnsylvania and New York called tho previous queation and so cut off debate,—the sole method of securing that harmonious action likely to result in victory, ‘The calling of a State Convention to choose, delegutes to a Natlonal Conyentlon not to occur for four or five jwonths is no leas ub- surd or dishonest thon it would be fora city ward to hold a primary and choose conyon- tion delegates four or flye months In advance of a city election, Tho purpose In tho one caso or the othor is obvious—namely: to re- fuse ta the members of the party tho privi- lege of acting upon their final and best ma- tured judguient. By tho early State Conven- tion, the managers say to the body of the party: “You shall not have thing to deliber- uty on the cholve of delegates”; and by the vote of Instructions they say to the delegates to the National Convention; “You will not be permitted to act upon your own judg- ment nor upon the Judgment of your finme- dlate constituency, the people of your dis- trict, but must voto the senthtionts of n ma- Jorlly of a Convention hastily sasembled.” Bnt this fs not all, nor the worst; the worst remains behind. In a miaforily of tho districts of Pennsylvanin the Committees dented to the body of the party tho privilege ot a volce in selecting delegates to the State Convention; and. in Albany County, New York, an attempt was mado to perputrate a similar outrage. ‘The renson why this course was pursued docs not admit of doubt. ‘The mianngers desired to secure a certain political action whieh they knew or feared that the iasses of ‘the party would not willingly In- dorse; otherwise they would not only have walted patently for them to apeak, but ac- corded to them the Inrgest and freest oppor- tunity to emphasize their wishes, One evil grows ontof another. -A polltient trick hav. Ing been played for the beneflt of one candl- date, the friends of other candidates are tempted to play tricks in thelr several Inter- ests, and the contest, lately conducted on the high ground of the conntry’s and the party's interest, degenerates into n mere scramble of rival personal partisanships. Nothing could he more unfortuunte, ‘The crisis is not less portentous than tt was three months ago, Tho Inte attempt ot the Democratic party to stenl the Governmentof tho State of Maine Is no less nsigniftennt politica} fact to-day than it was tho day after its fallure,—crushed by the energy of the Republican party and the Integrity and firmness of the Courts, ‘The Demoeratio party is not less desperately wicked, and henco not less dangerous to the country, to-day than it was three months ago, as is abundantly shown by its attempt to un- sent Congressman Washburn in pursuance of n conspiracy to pave the way for counting out a Republican President-plect in t83t, Under these circumstances, the Repul- liean party should be so conducted as to en- Ist In its support tho heartiest codperation of allils members, There !8 loud call for harmony, and harmony ean only be sectred by falr dealing, Tho Republican District Committee which assumes the right to de- prive the misses of the party of a voice in the choice of delegates to n State Conven- tion levels a blow at Republican success next fall. ‘The actionof the managers in Pennsyl- vanin Ig bearing very bitter fruit, not alone in that State, but all over the country. | It will be tho duty of tha National Convention to right that great wrong so far asa remedy Is possible; but the Republicans of other States should take care that no more wrongs of this sort are committed. . —————aees Tim annual agitation has begun In the Sixth Ward to beat Culterton for Alderman, Tho Communists have expectations, and the backers of ono Willinin Curran bonst thnt they cnn elect, their man.
