We have received a copy of German
paper published at Ironten. As we are
not Dutch scholar, we cannot tell what
the name of the paper is. There are two
or three columns of English in it. which
are devoted exclusively to the liquor in
terest We will publish few of these
articles, and make few comments as we
pass along. 1t quotes Scripture glibly,
and in one place says:
Christ drank wine all his life. His
enemies called him a wine bibber' and
he himself asserted that the Son of Man
cometh eating and drinking.
There is no direct evidence in the New
Testament that Christ ever tasted wine.
Perhaps he did We think it very like
ly that he did; but his most bitter enc
mics never accused him of drinking
lager beer or smoking tobacco. They
never imagined that he got that low, al
though they thought that he was an
imposter.
David, the psalmist, drank wine, ex-
tolled and recommended it
There is no harm in drinking good
wine; but how about dirty beer and
poisonous whisky? Did David extol
these 2 And then David is not the best
pattern of piety. You remember that
little affair about taking Uriah's wife.
Almost all great men drank liquor of
some kind: even Sam Johnson, who was
often drunk on tea.
And why do you not mention the bril-
liant poet Robert Burns. We believe he
died the death of drunkard before he
arrived at the prime of life.
"The T. s. are to-day second only to
Turkey in the use of opium. The prohi-
bition of liquor and wine, contained in
AL Koran, drove the people of Turkey
| into the use. of opiates in their stead. If
a like restriction be placed upon our peo-
pie, the result will be that we will exceed
even that country in the demand for the
enervating poison"
! We would think the universal use of
tobacco in this country would supply the
lack of "enervating poison" There is
more poison in pound of tobacco than
there is in ten gallons of the meanest
whisky.
eff the women prove successful, the o.
S. Treasury looses about 80 millions of
dollars annually, which deficiency will
have to be made up by transferring the
tax now levied upon the luxuries, to the
necessaTies of life"
The time lost by the men who drink
the liquor upon which this tax Is raised,
loses to the productive industry of the
country more than a thousand million
dollars each and every year.
"The history of mankind proves that
we need stimulant of some kind If
those produced in this country are legis-
lated or prayed out of existence, we will
have to seek a substitute in China or
elsewhere. Gold to that amount will go
to. foreign parts in addition to that
already shipped to Europe every year.
Our taxes will increase and Gold will rise
or i'm other words our property will be
assessed in direct ratio to the decline of
its value
That is the strongest argument yet.
To make nation rich and prosperous,
make it nation of drunkards. Fill
your lunatic asylums, infrmaries, jails
and penitentiaries with drunkards and
their victims, and tax the sober, indus
trious portion of community to support
them, and all will get rich. Such is
| German argument.

Temperance.

To tie Editor Of the Standard:
! have heard of Methodist minister
posting up notice on school house
door in Kentucky, to the effect that re-
ligious revival would begin at that place
on the following Sabbath evening, at
early candle light, may or may not have
exceeded his commission There is a
difference of opinion concerning the pre-
dicability of such events, and the issue is
one which | do not feel disposed to dis
cuss at present.
But, whatever may be said about the
possibility Of manufacturing religious
revival, there can be no doubt in my
mind that revivals of other kinds are in
a certain degree subject to human agency.
1t sometimes happens that very few
earnest persons, who have themselves
become thoroughly awakened to the i'm
portance of matters that concern the
public are able to impart their convict
ions to the rest of the community, and to
revive public interest in questions that
had been too much neglected. Such |

he motives of those engaged in the cru

the motives of those engaged in the cru
sade. If pure philanthropy and love of
the human race, is the magic wand by
which they are moved in this great en-
terprise, they ought to and will succeed
to great extent. If they are guided by
wisdom, and follow the directions of him
who spake as never man spake, they will
be able to crown their efforts with sue
cess, and every philanthropic mind will
say, Amen.
But if those engaged in the crusade
should lend listening ear to the silvery,
syren voices of corrupt politicians, who
may wish by this crusade to save some
party from an early grave, their efforts
will be vain. Or if they, the crusaders,
go forth with malice, hatred and ven
geance in their hearts, simply to torment
and trouble those engaged in the traffic
or those in the habit of drinking, then
they will only aggravate the evil and fail
to accomplish the design.
Let me then, as one who wishes peace,
prosperity and happiness to the whole
human family, who wishes the fountain
of intemperance dried up, who will aid
in every we'll directed philanthropic
movement gotten up upon the princi-
Piles of love and justice to all concerned.
I say to one and all, go forth on your
mission, with love, kindness and charity
abiding in your hearts with faith, hope
and perseverance in your minds, and
Jehovah, who rules and regulates society
upon the great principles of love, will in
His own time bring about the much
wished for and desired reformation.

In the business mems meeting this
week a motion was made and seconded
to place spies near the saloons to take
the names of those who may enter. Such
a system of espionage is hardly in keep
ing with the principles of republican
government. 1t will be a failure if re-
sorted to.-Portsmoaah Times.
Why? If the saloons are violating the
laws of the land, is there anything wrong
in securing the necessary evidence to
enforce the laws? If they are not vio-
lating the laws, why object to taking
note of those who do business there? :?
Would the Times object to having the
names of those persons taken down who
transact business at the Times office? If
the women, or anybody else, wish to
take the names of persons who enter our
place of business, we will think it no in
fringement of the principles of republi-
can government.

Section alone remained to be consid-
cred. When general debate upon the
proposition was closed, an exception had
been made of this section, and was again
taken up.
Section reads
SECTION 6. 1t shall be lawful for coun-
ties, townships, cities, towns and villages,
by votes of their citizens, two thirds of
those votes concurring therein, to aid in
the building and construction of railroads
and other public improvements of local
advantage or necessity, in any amount
not exceeding at any time five per cent
um of the taxable value of the property
of such counties, townships, cities, towns
and villages; and such counties, town
ships, cities, towns, and villages may
build and construct railroads or other
public improvements of local advantage
and necessity, under such said limita-
tions and restrictions, to be wholly
owned by said counties, townships, cities,
towns, or villages; provided, however,
than when any such corporation shall
have granted aid to any railroad or rail-
roads, as in this section provided, the
corporation or company receiving the
same shall issue its stock to the counties,
townships, cities, towns, or villages grant
ing such aid, to be held or disposed of as
may be provided by law; and provided,
further, that no such aid shall be granted,
or improvements undertaken until such
counties, townships, cities, towns, or viii
lagos granting such aid shall have ade-

improvements, so aided, will be completed.
Counties, townships, cities, towns, or vii
lagos so aiding such Improvements, shall
incur no further or other liability than
the aid so granted"
Mr. Campbell opposed the section,
while Messrs. Bannon, Tripp, and Cum
ningham supported it, Mr.. Trip assert
ing that the opposition to the section
came from those counties which are
already provided with transportation by
rail or water.
Mr. Tripp is sound on this question, as
he is on most others.

Charges appear in the Vinton Record
against Judge DuHadway They have

that he entered a saloon with Chilli

way yesterday, who is holding Court at
Marietta, asking if we could deny the
charges, but received no reply The
operator at Jackson telegraphed Mr..
Cook, Portsmouth operator, that he
could not deny the first charge, as he
held his receipt for the box. If these
charges be true, Judge DuHadway's ac-
tions are such as are deserving of censure,
for man occupying his position should
have better judgment, as he must know
that his enemies are on the Alert, and
will net spare him. We hope that he
may be able to disprove them, and shall
be glad to give him the use of our col
umns in which to do So"
We lose all patience with men who
have no more sense than to talk about
man being required to "disprove" charges
made agsinst him. Whatever may be
Judge DuHadway's faults, he has the
good sense not to rush into the newspa-
pers to "disprove'' every charge that his
enemies may choose to make against
him. If he is guilty of any crimes, faults
or errors, it is for his accusers to bring
the proof Every man is presumed to be
innocent until the contrary be proven
