rabid fanatic is as blind Ms a rattlesnak in
dog days; OF, if he can see at all, he can see
only one side, and that is his own. What we
said about the Methodist preachers was Gods
TRUTH and that is the only apology have to
make for it. The poverty Of the Methodist cir
cult preacher is proyerbial. Ii is not our fault,
but the fault of those whose duty it is 10 sup
port him, but who will not OF can not. We do
not make sport of the preachers for their power
ty: but We do think it looks suprrmely ridicu-
lous for them to organize $1,000 stock compa-
nies for the purpose Of enforcing one particular
law out of all others against many of the per-
SONS who have been contributing 10 their sup
port. This is fact, which we shall continue to
reiterate, and calling names will not alter it.
That stuff about Border Rufiianism Brewers
Association, etc, is scarcely worth replying to.
Had the Tribune been able TO see both sides, il
would have seen that we repeatedly condemned
the Grand Protective Union, during last years
campaign. II is true that we labored in the
Free State cause and We wanted the State to lie
free to persons of all beliefs; but from the way
the work Of " Reform" has commenced, it will
not be long until all mems habits and tastes
are prescribed by LAW. Let us not forget, that
while the Southern people furnished men and
means to make Kansas n Slave State, the North
cm people furnished more and more means
TO make il Free State. Let MS not denounce
the South for playing the same game We played,
and beat them at il. At the same time, while
hOwling about the National Brewers Associa-
tion furnishing money to ascertain their rights
in Kansas, do not forget that the temperance
people throughout the North and East furnished
their thousands of dollars to secure the adoption
of the prohibtory amendment, and TO buy the
re nomination of Gov. st. John. If you can see
ont of one eye only, please turn that eye occa-
sionnily TO the other side.
