The Editors Guests,
Aug. 18th, lS71t

We print, upon the first page of
this paper, an admirable poem by
WmxM. Carlton, called the Editors
Guests" to which we call the attention
of our readers. 1t depicts the never
ending toll of the editor to furnish his
patrons with fresh, piquant and useful
reading matter, as we'll as the extreme
difficulty of pleasing every class of
selfconstituted critics. After having
read the poem, we desire all our read
ers to initiate the good old farmer
whose reliable steps were heard on the
rickety stairs, and aid us, by sending
each, a new subscriber.

More Loil ThieviIg.


1t appears from recent disclosures,
that Francis E. Spinner, Treasurer
OF the United States, has drawn vari-
Gus sums of money from the Treasury,
amounting in the aggregate to over
three millions of dollars, by warrants
made out in his own favor, and up to
rhe present time he has rendered no
account to the public of this money.
The numbers, dates, and separate
amounts of the warrants so drawn are
given, and other facts in connection
with the subject furnished, which go
to make out q strong case of presump-
tive misconduct ON the part of this
much-trusted public official. He is
now in Europe.
The Radical spoilers have commenc-
ed to quarrel over the division of the
plumber. So look out for earth
ouakes.

Morgan Pilloried ?

r. D Harrison, Chairman of the
Republican State Executive Commit
tee assails General Morgan in a very
coarse way for alleging that Ohio is
being flooded by Republican documents
printed, enveloped and mailed in the
City of Washington at the govern
ment expense. Mr.. Harrison asserts
that it is MT true that this committee,
meaning the State Executive Commit
tee, has printed John Sherman's speech
or any other document at Washing
ton. He also denies that this commit
tee has stolen paper, or that the gov
eminent Clerks, have aided in direct
ing documents for this committee, or
that any document or speech was sent
out from Washington under his direc-
ton for distribution at the State Jour
nal Office. This is equivocal, and a
mere play on words. Let it be remem-
bered that there are two Republican
committees-one at Washington and
one at Columbus. When General
Morgan condemns the fraud being
pepetrated, he alludes to the action of
the Washington committee in having
printed, folded, mailed and sent to
Ohio the documents alluded to; and
willie it may be technically true that
the State Executive committee does.
not order documents for distribution,
1t is true that tens of thousands of doc
uments, ofthe character charged, have
been sent into Ohio by the Washing
ton committee which were printed at
the Government Office on government
paper, folded and mailed by govern
ment Clerks at the public expense.
Moreover, it is also rue that every
Ohio Clerk and Department employee
in Washington is taxed from one to
three per cent. on his salary as a cor.
Tuption fund to carry the State this
fall! This plain explanation puts to
rest the absurd assumption that Gen.
Morgan has been ''pilloried" or even
contradicted. 1t is much like the fell
low who when accused of stealing his
neighbours COW, exclaimed-"Upon
my honor, gentlemen, 1 neve took
the hoss." Republican papers
retract their foolish dodge, and confess
the truth? We will see.

P~rohibitory Laws.

We recently called attention to the
extreme position upon the temperance
question assumed by a class of active
z~ealots. We quoted their declaration,
not only that all alcohol beverages are
poisonous, but hat even in a mild,
diluted form, where alcohol is the
stimulating principle, as in beer and
cider, the poison is just as virulent in
proportion to the quantity contained,
no matter what may be the varying
condition of the mixture. The prac
teal differences drawn from these prop
ositions by their authors and advocates
refer, as we then stated, solely to the
question of prohibiting the sale of any
and all of these active poisons But
it seemed to US that they led primarl-
ly to a different conclusion. If such
beverages in their mildest form are
essentially poisonous, and it is there
fore criminal to sell them for any such
use, then it is first of all and chiefly
criminal to drink them and the law,
if justified in prohibiting the sale IN
der a penalty, ought for a much strong
er reason to make the use itself a
felony.
There is no escape from this conclu-
sion, if the premises are insisted on.
Either it is not essentially wrong to
sell these beverages for a moderate
use, or it is criminal to drink them in
any form or quantity, and the consul
mer (not the provider) should be chief
ly punished. To say that beer and
cider are always poisonous, and shall
not therefore be sold as beverage I'M
der penaltp of the law, and yet to
frame no statute against the use there
of unless he becomes so drunk as
thereby to annoy the community, is to
visit the entire punishment upon the
accessory before the fact, and leave
the chief criminal to go unchallenged
of the court.
In reply to our argument, some
has sent us a marked copy of the Home
Oracle, which assumes to be a temper
ance organ, and to speak for the pro-
hibitionists. The paper copies u
article with some commentator, but
replies, first, that any drink that con-
tains alcohol in the least, induces a
craving for stronger drink, and hence
cannot but be injurious to the great
movement against drunkenness" If
this assertion is true, then our argu-
ment has all the more force, since
not the selling of the mild beverage,
but the drinking of it, is the prolific
cause of drunkenness. This is fur
Their confirmed in the next paragraph
of the reply, where the author adds:
owe take the ground that every mod
crate drinker of alcoholic drinks, no
matter how mild, is really a worse
enemy to our cause than a drunken
sot; because the example of the form
er leads to drinking, while that of the
latter warns against it." Yes. But
that is not the point; did you, or any
of your party who seek to make the
sale a crime, try to frame a law to
punish the moderate drinker of al
coholie drinks, ne matter how mild"

a New Deal.

There is evidence of revolt on the
part of German Republicans through
out the country, against the Puritan
ism of the political organization with
which they have hitherto acted. In
Cincinnati, the whole community
is excited on the question of the IN
forcement or repeal of the Sunday
laws. The Evangelical preachers use
the pulpit and desk, in laundering an
athemas against the German beer
drinkers. The leading Republicans
affect to despise the "Dut.'h," since
they have the colored vote. The Gron-
icle and Times, now n the leading
oracles in Cincinnati, edited by a late
Republican member of Congress, states
in a late issue:
"Our German fellow citizens who
are engaging in the Sunday agitation
would do we'll to consider whether
they have not chosen an in-opportune
moment TO press their peculiar ideas
in regard to the Sa bbath. The Amer
lean people are already excited by the
attempt of one class of naturalized
citizens to dictate to the dominant
party in New York, and is not in the
best humor, just now, to listen to any
attempts at coercion from another
class whom they have always regarded
in a very different light"
Nothing but n well assured evidence
of strength could induce a leading
journal, upon the eve of an election,
to treat '.our German fellow citizens
so cavalierly.
The party which boasts of its Puri-
tanism and Know Nothingism is be
ginning to find out what its illiberality
is likely to cost, the detection of the
German vote. The same causes are
at work here, and will end in the same
manner. The Germans of this coun-
try lave been tricked so often by the
false pledges of Republican politicians,
made upon the v of an election,
that they have come to the conclusion
to vote against the Republican ticket
or go it alone. Candidates for office
in the Republican party have publicly
boosted that they can buy the German
vote whenever they want it, by going
from one saloon to another and spend
ing money literally for lager beer.
As soon as elected, however, they set
up a different standard, and if mem
bers of the Legislature they excuse
themselves on the ground that tie
party caucus demanded a revocation
of local pledges for local interests.
In the language of the day, this is
'tplayed out" and n new deal demand,
ed all around. 1t, remains to be seen
whether the Republican Germans will

for such an act? 1t is worse to sell to
him than a drunkard3 Then it is
more wicked for him to drink than for
a drunkard to imbibe; did you yer
ask for an act to punish ''the moderate
drinker of a mild drink? If not, why
not? But the Oracle says again !:
eve quite agree with the Journal of
Commerce that eff it is right to pro
hibit the sale, it is wrong to drink -
and we have made a special effort to
set forth the criminality of drunken
ness" The c~riminality of drunken
ness is admitted ; but you say it is
wen more criminal to drink moder-
ately of a mild beverage than to get
drunk. If this is so, and you seek to
prohibit the sale for the moderate use,
why have you not proposed to punish
the act itself by a penalty upon the
moderate drinker?
We are not pursuing this theme
merely to show the inconsistency of
the prohibitionists, but to illustrate
the real principal upon which their
action is based, and thus by carrying
them a little further ON in its logical
outworking, 10 induce those who are
sincere among them to recall their pro-
jects, and to choose a more excellent
way, before they involve themselves
in a hopeless defeat, and thus again
set back the temperance reform through
their instructed zeal. Until a law
against moderate drinking is framed
and executed, a law prohibiting the
sale for such use will be worse than a
farce /; and every attempt in that dr.
rection will react with force against
a reform that is difficult at the best,
and has struggles enough without any
such overweights. Journal Of Com
