RErIy OF THE EDr1oR-0ur correspondent
wisheH to discuss tho subject from tho stand
point Of prohibition and this right in tue faeo
Of the failure Of the prohibition movement Of
last spring. We hopo ho docs not propose to
rouow TINT folly. Temperance is ono fling and
prohibition is another and worry dlrorcnt thing
from temperance, and doea not lend to the for
prohibittonis,B, nided by tho crusaders aud the
temperance people, succeodod In olecting city
Board non'inally in favor Of prohibition: With
this victory they rcse willing to reat aatfstod aud
their vigilance, aud sitting all day tde in the
market places, aud permitted thB club system to
take root aud groo and strengthen iN he1r midst.
Looking upon the club Rystom ha ten fold worso
thanttlls lconHe System. aud knowing tint tho
prohtbltionists made no determined effort by the
use Of their influence and tnoHoy and hraina to
put 1t down, VIC said TINT tho result Of last
springs effort hld boon 70 put a great shame upon
Try to shuttle from hts own shoulders his duo
sharo Of the shame. II, as claimed, the con-
sumption Of liquor was lossened, it was ono good
result Of tho movement but that faet docs not

tion has not been lessaned. Dut we do not
know those th!ugs Of our own knowledge, md
hopo tho claim Of Cur correspondent Ia tho cor
rect ona.
Int whothor the consumption Of liquor has
been increased or diminished, wo all know that
prohibition has not been a success. That
tho pernlcious c!no systom has boon In
snccessful operation durlng tho past year !;
t,,4t the Incorporate use OF liquor has
Increased on aotno OF tho mombers Of theHs or
gauizatlona; that tue traffic has becn removed
from police surveillance; and that tho city lAs
which had to be mado up By Increased taxation
Oh tho property OF tho city. Thcso arc facts
vol known to our correspondent.
HeeIng that prohibition was failure, and had
not resulted In euppressng or eyon materially
!eAaening tho traffic In Intoxicating liquors, and
noE wishing to SEQ tue glorious cause OF temper
ancn entirely oyerthrown, We suggested that tho
capyasa now upon us be conducted on the basis
Of partypolltIcs, We bellato tho suggestion was
agooa ono.
