Tkuug’.ls of a I^ oliibitionisf. The terrible eftecto of intemperance which are to be seen on every hand are enough to convince any rational being of the evils of this vile traffic. The question is not one of good or evil, but how shall we get rid of the evil. Soloman said: “Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging and whoever is deceived thereby is not wise.” Men nave uttered these words ever since. AX omen have plead and shed tears. Ministers ot the gospel have tried to educate from the pulpit and yet intemperance is increasing every day; 60,000 drunkards yearly going into premature graves and our prisons and almshouses filled by the victims of drink. Must this go on increasingyear by year ? AX ill we still cling to moral suasion and education independent of sterner action ? AVe are thankful that many of the citi-

ens of this country are beginning to see the question in its true light, beginning to see that the law must step , in and put a stop to tho sale and man- /

poisoning the youth of our land, ruining both old and young for this life and the life to come. But bow are we going to do this ? XVe can only accomplish it by combining the better class in one political party, fairly and squarely opposed to the saloon and their allies who will elect men who dare not do otherwise than enact laws to do away with the grog-shop and its poison, and not only men to enact such laws, but men to enforce those laws. As it is to-day, it is policy for the leading men of both old parties to do right to the contrary. The temperance element is divided. There is a strong temperance element in the Democrat party and a jlioug temperance element in the RepJubliean party; but there is also a whiskey element in both, strong enough to control their every action. The Democratic leaders admit that they are for license, and the leaders of the Rep. üblican party have proven by actions in the past that they stand on the same platform. What can the temperance element do with these old parties that are wedded to rum? Simply nothing. The temperance element of the whole country must come out and pull in the same harness and then we will see the load move grandly off and not until then. The whiskey element is bound to stayin these old parties as long as they ex ist. They are bound to keep the parties divided on this great question. They recommended in one of their conv enlfrwr that if a man was either a Democrat or — T> t.l 1. _ —1 1- * _ .1.

a Bepublicau he should remain as such, “For/ - to use their language, “if we ever get the temperance element arrayed against us we are bound to fall.” So we see that this element is going to stay and keep, if they can, the temperance people divided, but, thanks be to God, there is another way out; there can be a third party and there is a Third Party, and one that is Lere to stay, one that is gaining in strength every year, one that has God and the ministry on its side, one that has the noblest, fairest, and bravest of the women of our land on its side. Can such a party and its cause fail?” No, lunwser! No, never! a.d I listen and I hear the blood of innoceu children, of heart-broken wives and mothers, the blood of such martyrs as Kev. Geo. C, Haddock crying from the grave, No, Never! No! It will not fail; but we all have a work to do. Old and young most put their shoulder to the wheel. Father, your son is liable to be snared, his whole life blasted. Mother, look all that daughter, is she not liable to have her whole life ruined by a drunken husband ? Brother, sister, you, too, are responsible for the happiness of the dear ones. Will you stand idly by and see the ravages of this traffic without doing all in your power to check it? Sly Cristian friend, are keeper ? What aceto -

von are brought before that Great White Throne. Wil] you then have tire face to say, “between two evils choose the least.” “A half a loaf is better than no loaf at all,” (even though that half loaf cantain arsenic). My readers, these frail excuses will never stand before the Judgment seat of God. It is not the saloon keeper who is wholly at fault> it is not the drunkard who is wholly at fault, but you, my brother, have a share in the crime, you who vote with those old parties that show by their words and actions that they are in favor of licensing these Hell Holes of iniquity. It is you who are gutting the cup to your neighbor’s lips, and it is you who will have to answer for it, unless you reform, unless you do something to counter balance the efforts of the saloon ami its friends. They are doing all m their p wer to pi < mote the general Melfar of tie traSr. They will t.ll that lie*use is just the thing to J : It IV ’ ‘ . . . • i .i - J ‘ 1 J Udi t t-» prove’. !<rp:»..e p<<pje that it is jadakdth y a. 3 it is sad to say Y.: iL-y p- : < a: <y: Lil •• .. ._ iz.iis I ant* pt Li -i . b ■. r, an 1 do all they ean agai st the p tiva L-ovctudJ. Why? i

does not stop drink. They would rather pay their license than have people di ink so much. At one of their conventions in Chicago they said that they wore just as much in favor of temperance as the temperance people only they believed in a different' way of controlling drunkenness. High license would do away with the low placesand make the business respectable. \\ hat they want is respectable places where all of the best of our young men may spend their evenings. Mothers can you say a word for prohibition ? It will not be lost. The history of the amendment campaign in Pensylvania, in Michigan and particularly the one just passed in Nebraska is a disgrace to our so-called free country. Must wo submit? Has tho time come when there is nothing but defeat lor the right? AX’e, Americanborn citizens, citizens of a country

which m its infancy freed itself from one of the greatest of European countries, must n&w be born down in slave- / ry.slaver^jo a trnflie bent on jin rni.,

1 11 step boldly to the front and fight for the right. Fight until the last vestige of this vile traffic is wiped from the face of our fair land. H. G. M. The Middlebury Independent, an esteemed exchange, agrees with us that the tramp is a nuisance, a dangerous element, and that means should be adopted to rid tho country of him. But strangely enough, Brother Rheubottom, with whom weare personally acquainted and have been from childhood up, and who served all through tho war as a faithful soldier, and who ought to know that war was the originator of the tramp, and not legislatures, claims the latter to be tho parent of the element in question. AX hat’s tho mat. •ter with yon, Jim ? The Plymouth Republican rears itself upon its haunches, becomes sar castic and polishes AValkexton oil in the following fashion: “Plymouth does more business in one day than Huckleberry to wn averages up for a whole week. But yon never saw a terrier but that though tho could bark louder than the mastiff. There may be an occasional case in which the mastiff is such in its imagination only. We are quite sure, so much so that we will wager a sum sufficient to pay for tho trouble of looking it up, that AValkertm^^mlles more grain and , hogs, dry goods as Plymouth does.

corning the life and activity of Plymouth. The words in the above clipping, “but that though the,” we don’t exactly understand. In a case before a Tennessee justice one of the lawyers made fun of the other’s gramtner.

The Tramp question. The city is overburdened with tramps ; just now and they are annoying people ’ greatly by their repeated solicitations for food. The most provoking feat uro of tho whole thing is that these fellows impose on people so much. Saturday morning one of these trumps visited a a house and asked for food. He was given a liberal supply and forthwith drew from his pocket a newspaper and nicely wrapped up for future use the victuals thus given him. The lady also passed him out a nice cup of coffee and closed the door. The ungrateful fellow immediately threw the contentsof the cup on the ground and left. These tramps have a system in their begging and impos. <4i generous people to an extent that is not genet ally known. Frequently these tramps call at printing offices and ask for old papers ostensibly’ to read. It is now known that these papers ars used to wrap up victuals that are begged from people.— Lul’orte Herald. ‘ The lady also passed him out a I Nice cup of cotloc mid dosed the door. The ungrateful fellow immediately •hrew the contents of tho cup on the ground and left.” Th o holy was to I blame. She ought not to have given tho rascal anything. Encouraging the rascals by giving them food and raiment ought to be punished by fine. How long would those miseral lo renegades keep up such pt tun ices were they to be turned from every door empty handed? Not long. They would soon become discouraged and go to work ami make an honest living. Every lady should have a number eleven boot made ami slip it on the moment she sees a tramp approaching.
