License-Yes or No?

The whisky shops of this place absorb
every year, thousands of dollars which
should flow in the channels of honest
trade
They promote extravaganza; destroy
the comfort of many homes; and reduce
and keep poer, hundreds of families.
They originate and foster crime of all
sorts. Drunkenness, gambling, and
wicked lewdness are nursed and shell
tered in the saloon.
They are arsenals of death and destruc-
ton. Their proprietors are CORFU ptors
of the youth, and are aiding and abetting
suicide.
They are market places of unlawful
traffic. They furnish liquor to intoxi-
Gated persons; to persons who are in the
habit of getting intoxicated; and to
minors. Those who keep such places are
criminals, and know themselves to be
such, and screen themselves from observa-
ton in the commission of their unlawful
deeds. They deliberately violate law for
the sake of the unusual profits of the
business.
Nevertheless, the whisky interest in
this place dictates to politicians by claim
ing to control, and by actually controll-
ing elections. 1t has subsidized parti-
san press. 1t seeks to influence our
Council by marching crowd of bum
mers into the Council-chamber when
law-abiding citizens present a petition
against liquor selling. 1t works itself
even into the grand jury, and controls
that palladium of liberty 1t has made
law, as against itself, practically dead
letter.
What the whisky interest has done
here it has exceeded elsewhere 1t has
its agents in our State Capital 1t has
stirred up brutal mob against the pray
ing women of Cleveland. 1t has par
alyzed the police of Cincinnati. 1t has
put under its ban, and prosecuted all
ministers of the gospel who fearlessly
proclaim the law of God and man.
Under such circumstances, license
means hopeless subsection to the whisky
ring, on just such terms as it may die
tate. 1t means rate of license such as
will suit the whisky men; it means the
multiplication of whisky shops; it means
the power to resist by process of law any
remonstrance on the subject.
Shall this be? Shall we put ourselves
in a condition of white slavery? Shall
class legislation in favor of this danger
Gus element be put upon the statute
book? Shall the vile art of Supplying
and Grazing and demonizing our fellow
citizens be taken under special protec-
ton of law?

The Wages of Sin.

Not many years ago clergyman of one
of the strictest of sects in neighboring
city-a man eminent for his piety and
learning-had daughter of unusual
beauty and charm of manner. Much of
the story tells itself in those facts. The
child was no doubt carefully taught and
tenderly loved Father and mother gave
her to the Lord they were secretly glad
of her beauty, and prophesied fairer
future for her from it. Why should they
not The world has no future fairer
than that before a woman, young and
good and beautiful. There is no scepter
with rule SO absolute and sure as rose
tinted cheek and brilliant eye-no roy
atty that gives SO prompt and keen a
pleasure to its possessor. When it be-
longs to a woman in ahappy home, where
she is faithfully loved, and from which
she looks up faithfully from her daily
work for Him to an unseen Father and
Helper, it matters little whether the
home be rich or poor. Her happiness is
founded on rock This girl went into
happy home where she was, we have
every reason to believe, loved and guard
ed from temptation. How temptation
came first or how she fell, is not worth
the telling now. 1t is enough to say
that, with the teaching of her youth and
her 1atnef prayers De1ore nef, sne cnose
brilliant life of profigeey and crime,
married and was divorced once or twice,
dragged into the courts the men whom
she alleged had wronged her, was known
in this city and many others as woman
of exceptional charm and power, which
was never to a good end, carried her
charm and reputation to Europe, and
finally, having cozened a boy, the nephew
of the Car, to his undoing, ran away to
Paris with the jewels he had stolen, and
is there now. The whole story of the
fair woman makes romance as brilliant
and dramatic as ever fell from the pen
of French novelist.
We have no wish to dull the dramatic
story into a tedious sermon. But what
is the end of it after all What are the
wages which to-day she finds she has
been paid? The reputation over all the
world of thief and Magdalen, and the
stolen jewels in her hand. We have nc
intention to join in the hue and cry
God knows what claims she has for
mercy. We only wish to say, there are
the wages, and none better are ever paiC
for such service. No matter how fair the
promise of sin, the score at the last are
same.-N y Tribune.

til fine and costs be paid. Formerly, this
was usually done Why not now? 1
think 1 know. Formerly the party
would go to jail. If he did not want to
pay his fine ne would send a lawyer to
the county Auditor, and that officer had
go to selling liquor as usual But now
that law has been changed. Last winter
a law was passed (thanks to the Demo
cratic Legislature) authorizing county
commissioners TO set criminals to work
who are sent to Jail for non-payment OF
fines. If the liquor seller be sent to jail
now, he must either pay his line IN
money, or work it out on the public road
at one dollar and fifty cents per day. 1
was present in court last week when two
Young men were fined for an affray, one
ten dollars, and one twenty dollars, and
they were ordered to stand committed
until they paid the uttermost far
thing of fine and costs. This was a
correct sentence, and does credit to the
Judge But why not enforce the liquor
law in the same way ? 1 believe the
time will come when some of the Judges,
when they look over the records they
have made, will be convinced that they
sworn officers, are the men who have
been led astray by blind fanaticism and
prejudice, and that the temperance peo-
pie have been the parties who could look
impartially on both sides of this question.

From Buffers Speech on the Civil Rights Bill,
in Congressional Record, January 81
Charge at New Market Heights, Va.

General Butler, in his speech in the
House, describes the charge of three
thousand colored troops in the fighting
which occurred on the James River in
September, 1864, and states how he got
over his prejud ices as follows:
1 said: THAT work must be taken by
the weight of your column; no shot
must be fred" and to prevent their
firing 1 had the caps taken from the
nipples of their guns. Then 1 said,
Your cry, when you charge, will be,
Remember Fort Pillow" and as the
sun rose up in the heavens the order
was given, Forward" and they marc he'd
forward, steadily as if on parade-went
down the h i'll, across the marsh, and as
they got into the brook they came with
in range of the enemy's fire, which Wig
orously opened upon them. They broke
q little as they forded the brook, and the
column wavered. o, it was a moment of
intensest anxiety, but they formed
again as they reached the firm ground,
marching steadily on with closed ranks
under the enemy's fire, until the head of
the column reached the first line abatis,
some one hundred and fifty yards from
the enemy's work. Then the AK men
ran to the front to cut away the heavy
Instructions of defense, while one thous-
and men of the enemy with their artil-
lery concentrated, from the redoubt

A QUESTION OF BEER.


The truly good Kennedy desires that man
should look upon the fd&In in the beer mug on
Sunday and leave it undrunk. Charley Smith
does not think so, because in the fatherland he
learned to pour it fresh from the pitcher and
partalxe. He did this at home the other Sun
day, and a friend of the family being present,
also had poured from the brown pitcher a
glass; This was an infringement OF the laws
That the strictly virtuous and law-abiding Ken
nedy could not forgive, and Mr.. Smith was
brought before the Mayor, and although that
officer was satisfied with the spite work that
caused the prosecution, the City Solicitor IN
sisted that it be tried. The result was a fine of
so. Mr.. Smi presented his case to the Coun-
ell, which referred the matter to a committee,
and Marshal remitted their costs, and now
Kennedy can see how his action is looked
upon.
The above is from the whisky organ of
Portsmouth, the Times Of course the
statement of the case is a falsehood, as
Mayor Flanders is not the man to fine
person twenty dollars for merely drink
ing beer ON Sunday. There is no law,
any place, against that. We suppose it
is the case of beer jerker violating the
laws by selling intoxicating drink on the
Sabbath day. and the Council and its
committee, the Mayor and Marshal, all
came to the relief of the violator of the
law. The City Solicitor, whoever that
may be, appears to be the only official in
the crowd who desired honestly to per-
form his duty. There is yet much mis-
sionary work to be done in Portsmouth.

: The young mems temperance league
of Circleville publish a protest in the
Union, in the course of which they say
We have asked our Prosecuting Attorney to
present our claims to the Grand Jury. To this
we received fiat refusal He informs us that
all such charges would be excluded, and only
such cases as came up by transcript from JUS
this, list of witnesses was sent to the grand
jury.Ath in session, through juror. That
jury rsfused to summon the witnesses furnish
ed or Investigate charges of violations of law
against the sale of liquor.
If there is particle of truth in the
above, that Prosecuting Attorney ought
to be either in the Penitentiary or the
Lunatic Asylum. If he has the least
idea in the world what the law is, he
knows that every Grand Jury in Ohio is
specially charged to take notice of viola
tions of the liquor law. The statute
makes it the duty of all Judges to do so,
and any Judge failing TO do this commits
perjury If that Prosecuting Attorney
knew no better, then the Lunatic Asy-
lum is his proper place Or perhaps we
should say, the asylum for idiots. But
we think the young mems league must
be mistaken.

A writer in the Cincinnati Gazette un-
dertakes to prove that beer drinking is
a good thing, and in the course of his
argument says
When the brain has become diseased from
alcohol it is generally found indurated with
increase of the subarachnoid serum, while the
nutrient arteries usually found affected
with steatomatous degeneration, which leads
to the cerebral atrophy and surrounding oede-
ma.
Exactly. That is just what we always
claimed. That is the word with the
bark on. That settles it. Beer is good,
and the above makes it so plain, that
even E. D. Mansfield will be apt to ac-
quiesce. Hereafter we expect to hear
the above conclusive argument in the
mouth, and on the lips of every beer
jerker in the land.

l50 miners congregated. Pirt commenced
speaking to The negroes, calling on them to
come out and be free men, that they would
treat them well and give them homes and
money 10 return to where they came from, that
these operators would make slaves of them,
that they (the miners) had fought to free them
and weuld do them no harm. While he was
speaking the operators went around among the
negroes and got them to strike up the BATTLE
Cry of Freedom" which the negroes sung with
a will. The excitement at this time got pretty
high and some of the negroes commenced going
out, few of them got away with their revolt
vers. The guards refused to let some of them
out. 1 saw n guard draw his bayonet down
to the breast of one and prevent him from go
ing outside the lines and another cooked his
muszet and threatened to shoot at one who had
got across the lines and he had to march back !;
another had a wife there, and after he was out
they would not let his wife out; but when the
Sheriff arrived these proceedings were stopped,
and they were only stopped at the lines to
search for the arms that had been given them.
The negroes seemed very much surprised when
the miners showed them the scrip they said
they had been used to Uncle Sans SHINES, and
did not want such money; that they wanted
money that was good any place in the United
States.
One remarkable fact is that during the en-
tire day did not see a drunk man among the
800 or 400 miners in the town. read accounts
in the daily papers and can say that not one
fourth of what they say is true. There has been
no fighting, and there will be none,in my opin-
ion. The colored men are going into the mines,
a portion of the whites will get work, and the
rest will leave. The Miners Union at this place
will be broken up, and the operators will
have gained the day. 1 have endeavored to
give all sides of the question as nearly correct
as possible, and I think l have done SO as
nearly as one could after having spent one day
among the different parties.

The greatest objection raised against
the new constitution by the Democratic
papers, is the provision that its adoption
puts all the Common Pleas Judges out
of office, and also makes intoxication in
a Judge ground for impeachment.
These results from the adoption of the
