Temperance and Politics. There is class

Temperance and POlilicS.-There is a class
of individuals who are continually harp
Ing upon the improprety of making tenn
perance political question. They say
it is solely moral question. and that il
will never do TO introduce morals into
politics. Begging their pardon, we say
ii is political and moral question COM
bined. and as such demands more serious
attention than political question invol-
wing no moral considerations. |. has been
a political question from the time the
first grogshop was licensed by the govern
ment to deal out its liquid poison. spread
ing devastation and ruin far and wide
through the community. There never
was more aboninabIe heresy promulga-
ted than that Government has no right to
legislate upon moral questions. Why,
have we not laws against prolane swear
ing. bbath breaking &C.? And how much
more important it is to the welfare of
the community that the fountains which
belch forth so much crime, and wretch
edness, and woe, should be stopped; that
the cause of the vice and immortality a
gainst which our laws are directed should
be removed, thereby precluding the neces-
sity Of those laws. But morals have moth
ing TO do with politics. Sage conclu-
sion! What is politics? Webster defines
ii TO be: 1.-THE science of Government;
that part Of ethics which consists in the
regulation or government of nation or
State for Tie preservation of its safety,
peace and prosperity" Now, if the sup
preston of dram shops is not necessary
for the safety, peace aud prosperity Of the
St0te-ifit will not co more than any
other single act of legislation to bring
about this desirable result. then there is
no reliance 10 be placed upon the statistics
of crime caused by intemperance. and the
money viii Oh is worse than wasted by the
purchase of alcoholic drinks. But this
plea ofopposition to temperance in poll
tics or account of its being moral cues
ton is all sham. 1t comes from soul
less partizan politicians who have not the
good of their country but the success CT
their party at heart; whose principles lie
in their pockets. and whose highest am
bition is the spells of Office; who woul Id
see with indi ference their country sunk
to moral perdition, provided their party
kept liz power. Convince such men that
theis party will gain votes by espousing
such u cause, and their fears Of the morale
Of the question will vanish. and they will
be astonished to find themselves for once
on the side of morality and decency.

vention recently held at Madison, ad-
journed to meet at Indianapolis on the
second "Wednesday in January next, al
which time committee appointed at the
Madison Convention, is to report a bill
or the principles Of an enactment, to be
presented to the next State Legislature,
and which is intended to be made ques-
tior al our next State election.
Our citizens should take the necessary
steps to be faithfully and efficiently rep
resented in this convention.

ADVERTISING TERMs.--In mos. all in
stances where advertisements are insert
ed in our paper for an indefinite period
or for specified time, We are asked what
the cost s. The terms on the first page
are made very plain and understandab bic
to all. Ten lines are counted square,
the larger or display lines counting two
or three as they may measure.
Then.let each one count and be pre- par-
ed TO answer for himself. Count ten
lines of TIE smallest type--which is con-
sidered the body of the advertisements
ard in all instances the space occupied
By them is counted square. Where
large lines are used, it is done for the
benefit of the advertiser, and very proper
ly should be at his expense. If tiro large
lines occupy the space of the ten small
ones, the advertiser does not make sc
large show of matter in the paper, bu
a larger show in the world. That's .hs
object.

Thanksgiving iay.-This, Gath day of
November 1888. has been designated by
the Governor ofour State as day of gen.
eral thanksgiving and prayer to Almighty
God for his innumerable hounties so pro-
fusely showered upon US. during the past
and present seasons Never, never has
it been the good fortune of Indianans to
witness just such season in every res
pect. as the one that is now about bid
ding US adieu; and it should rot be with
Indifference or GOODNESS that we should
feel thankful fox these blessings. of which
we have been such happy recipients
but every heart should beat high with
gratitude to the Giver Of all Good, and
with warm and generous congratulations
one to another Of our fellows.
The husbandman can scarcely find suf-
fcIent room for his surplus, and although
his crops of every kind proved abundant.
the prices for that which he has to spare
are unusually high. The mechanic is
crowded with an extraordinary demand
for his labor at high cash prices, and the
summer and fall seasons have been favor
able for the erection of COED aud comfort
able homes for those who were previously
destitute ofanything of the kind to shield
them from the storms and chilling blasts
Of winter. The tradesmen find in return
for our heavy exports at fair and reward
ing prices. promp. and liberal customers
Fruits and luxuries of every kind were
never so universally and freely poured
into the arms and measures of our clad
and happy big and little folks, as during
the past fall months. All, all seem TO
wear the smiles Of con .entmen., peace
and plenty upon every countenance.-
The birds seem to sing more merrily than
ever BEFORE as they seek respite from
their little bustling jubilees amongst the
seeds Of the wild flowers. In short. il
See"'S ds ihough everything is liiumned
with an universal and perpetual sunshine.
Then amidst all this joy. this peace, this
pienty-and we may add general good
heaith-who. o, who can refuse or neg
iect upon this day-with hearts filled TO
overlooking With gratitude-to offer up
10 the great Oliver of them all. their mos.
earnest and ardent prayers of thanks?--
Then shut up your shops and stores and
open your hearts and purses. Give this
day 10 God (not that he demands it of
you) and your mites to the needy If you
cannot pray yourselves, 90 where PRAYER
IS wont to be made. and hear, at least,
praises offered up to God.
