Skolfield & Knapp, are the right men in the

a zeal but not according to knowieose. hneH
enthusiasm is the enthusiasm OF those having
little practical acquaintance with the dilncul-
ties attending the enforcement OF the Piohibi-
tory Law The extravaganza OF some OF the
ideas they entertain, may be estimated from
the statement OF one speaker, who affirmed
that if the legislation OF 1867 had not been
repealed, the liquor traffic would before this
time have been annhilated! Really this
question of legislative restraint upon the
liquor trafic'is not so simple matter after
all, and those who think it is show that they
are superficial students of the question. We

boiling because they cannot have their way.
Where do they expect to get the material fer
that ".hird party which is expected before
long to swamp all before it? Not from the
Democratic party surely. If from the Repub-
licans, what need of 'third party" at al?
The fact is that if the Republican party is not
temperance party, there can be none. What
ever temperance legislation we have must
come from those who constitute the Republi-
can party, and if they are not sufficiently rad
ical ON the question, let those who are use
their energies in rousing the Republicans in
stead of wasting their breath declaiming to a
vention. "They that are whole need not a

something to do, let them devote themselves
to educating popular sentiment up to the
