be docs not ebeerfally say his prayers when he is
sick or sleepy, and hs will appear in church, with
creckodile streaming down his cheeks. and tell

poor miserable scoundrel, having shifted the crime
Of on to the DEVILS shoulders is hence forth all right
again So. when gets drunk, and commits .
crime-rerhaps gets drunk for the purpose of max.
ing it pretext for crime. and thus actually premed
itates the when he is sober-fhe whskey ecller
| gets the Whole blame. Thus if the drunkard who
commits the crime buys his whiskey in saloon,
Smith, the nkceper, is responsible if he buys
it at drug store, jones' the druggist is guilty; or
he gets it by the gallon of Brown, the dstler the
crime rests upon Brown. 1t will be that the
perpetrator of the crime is Not only not responsible
for it, but he has the power Of making either Suith
| Jones Brown responsible, wherever he chooses to
| buy his whiskey! Such stuff will not wash. The
| saloon-keeper the manufacturer compels man
to drink his whisksy. They seldom even solicit men
| to come in and drink. 1t is the who buys and
| drinks the whskey who is responsible
Take, fur example, Mr.. Campbell, and n number of
his cranky friends at White Cloud. There is dis
pute that they confess that they were once drunk
aIds and that they reformed because they saw the
evil of it, Very we'll; they admit that both drink
ing and reforming was their act. There were
| saloons when they drunkards, there were sa-
looms when they reformed, and there are saloons
still. Now if they have off right in the pres
OF Saloons it surely not the fault of the
loon keeper that they were drunkards before; and
it is not in the power of the saloonkeepers to make
drunkards Of them again. unless they are first will
| ling. Ii all rests with them, not with the saloon
keeper.
1t Is one unreasonable peeuiarity Of reformed peo
pie, that rs soon they reformed, think they
are, they want to compel everybody else to reform
While they drinking. they invite all their friends
| to drink; when they reform, they want to compel
everybody to reform-not only prevent men who new
er get drunk from taking social drink, but to place
| 1t beyond their power to get drink. So selfish is
| poor humanity. Why, We even find large body of
very Intelligent men, calling themselves Infdels
Liberals Free-tainkers, and various other names
They are holding conventions and publishing news
papers and books for the purpose of bowling
| religious tyranny and prescription. They don't
want socalied Christians to compel them observe
their Sunday, swear their Bible and contribute in
any way to keep up their peculiar rites But see
the wretched Inconsistency, selfconceit and ntoer
ance of these very same people. Last Fall, they
| held great convention at Bismarck Grove, where
they howed and resolved against relis sous tyranny
and intolerance and then, in the set of reso
utions, they resolved in favor of the prohibtory
amendment to the Constitution! Oh, no they would
never submit to Christians forcing their religious do
| mas upon them but they pledged themselves to
do all in their power dictate to Others what they
should not drink! Liberals, and FreetLinkers in
| deed
Our correspondent speaks of the homes made des-
olate by drink, and all that. This alas is too true
| But there are two sides even to that She we, all
