On Temperance.
Editor Democrat.

Editor Democrat.
In these days, you know. there is
much said and written on the suh-
jcct of temperance, and there are
many. arguments produced by
those who indulge in taking their
dram. Now, it is not my inton-
ton in this article to advocate
either side Of this subject specially,
but would say just here that l am
q tcetotaler, and am much opposed
to the use ofintoxicating liquors as
q beverage. But what I wish 20
say is to give some of tine reasons
to the readers Of TnE DEMOCRAT
which arc given BY those who
drink. Their reasons arc mot very
reasonahle-thcy are lncrc excuses.
Now, If men will drink whiskcy,
why not tell the truth about it,iand
say" drink it because ! love it"
Then | would believe what they
say. "
There arc very many who claim
10 be lovers OF Christ and his cause,
who are setting a very bad example
by going TO the bar-rooms and call
ing for their drink, and treating
their friends. But they have an
excuse for doing SO. Their excuses
are multltudinous, One. says that
IA little whiskcy is SO good to keep
out heat in hot weather" Then
when winter comes on he says, Il
must take little to keep the cold
out" Another has u pulmonary
disease" consequently he must
take SOME brandy to give tune to
his stomach. One old topper said
once he did not like the taste of the
stuff, hut he used 1t because it
helped his coms so much. An
other tells us that "arlcnt spirits is
ona Of tho best things for the collie
in the world" and that he only
fuses il when the severe pains
come on"
know others who are splendid
workers in protracted meetings;
yet they arc strenuous advocates
for drinking wliskcy. They give,
they think, very good reasons for
20 doing. One of them said once,
"You can never get nc to argue
against whisEey, because the Lord
converted me when | was drunk
so drunk that | got off in the mud;
and when | went home, my mother
said to me, you have been drunk. ;"
This he denied and told his mother
he was converted and hal been so
happy that in his praises he had
gotten tho mud on him. Strange
religion TINT would make ono tell
n f:liSchood so soon after hcing
converted.
Another man said: "Whiskoy Is
Il good thing. | know it has done
my son-in-lHw great deal of good.
He had been very unwell for u long
time, till he got drunk q few weeks
ago, and now he is in the enjoy.
mcnt of better health than no has
been for Il long time"
These arc only II few Of the cx-
cuses rendered by anti-temprrancc
men.
In conclusion, wish to say this
much more: That men who would
have the world lplieve that they
arc Christians should quit making
such excuses; and above all, to
quit drinking wlliskcy and getting
drunk. Itisa burning shame to
see professors Of religion walking
down street with tho neck Of Il
black Betty sticking out of their
pockets.
With my best wishes for the suc-
cess Of TIM DEMorEAr, will close.

The State vs. I T. Olive, one of the cattle
kings of Nebraska, and his ten associates
indicted for burning Mitchell and
ketchum, in Custer county, begins at
Hastings to morrow. A desperate effort
will be made on the part of the defense to
obtain a postponement of the trial or a
change of venue, on the ground that fair
trial cannot be had at Hastings or else
where in this State at this time. How
ever. it is pretty generally understood that
Judge Gaslln is opposed to any postpone
ment, and he will probably order the trial
to proceed. The prisoners can be tried
together or separately, as they choose, and,
| in case Of separate trials, which is likely to
be the course of the defendants. then
Olive will be tried first. Two or three
| days will be consumed in impaneling q
| jury and arranging the preIiminaries, Sc
that evidence will not probably be begun
until Thursday. Olives trial will last ter
days or two weeks, and, in case of separate
trials, the cases Of the others will extend
over two months, thus running up an i'm
mense bill of expenses on both sides. The
! prosecution lear that attempts will be
made to tamper with the jury, but every
precaution will be taken against anything
OF that kind. Olives aged father and
mother, and his brother, Ira ". Olive
are here, and another brother is on bis
way up from Texas, with lU00 horses
The Olives are rich and powerful, arc
