For the Pioneer.
MR. EDITOR My heart has been
made sad recently by seeing the treat
mcnt number of our volunteers have
received from the hands of certain sordid
men, claiming to be citizens. Every
time these men deal out to our brave SOL
diers their adulterated and poisoned Ii,
quors, they are transgressing the law OF
our land. We have seen our brave bows
lying in the streets and in the allies, una
bic to rise or walk, from the effects OF
poor whiskey we have heard, in one in
stance, of a volunteer cursing his wife
and threatening to take her "hearts
blood = we have seen the volunteer in
the streets the laughing stock Of the yui-
gar, in view Of his intoxicotion.
Are these low doggery keepers loyal
citizens | think not No man is a
true friend to his country, who, for few
dimes, will knowingly sell poisons to sol
diers.
We have seen recently these doggeries
open on the misunderstanding lis
y quiet, by filing out streets with drunken
men. Where are our City Fathers p
Where is our States Attorney :? Where
are our lawyers And where are oul
i eleven preachers Shall we cry peace
= when our streets are full of violence p
!, And when it is entirely unsafe for fe
! male 10 be upon our streets at dusk ?
When our best young men are entIceo
into drinking and gambling saloons daily
When law and order are disrrgarded
Let us awake, and by decisive action
v shut up, or PIT doaUn, this heirous liquo
traffic in our midst.
