EDITOR GRApHIC:-The Kirksrille
Democrat of the oath INST, in an edito-
| rial headed. death OF JESSE MUM"
after having given the circumstances
which led to his untimely death, winds
up with the following: I'VE hope that
our next legislature will grant a full re-
tail liquor license law-and then attach
a penalty-that whenever any whiskey
dealer shall sell to any man who Is q
habitual drunkard, or one that is of
known bad character, or dangerous
proclivities, that the said seller shall be
considered a pa,ticeps crininis. These
are our views as IN opposition to pro-
hibitory laws"
Such are the teachings of our Demo
cratic friend; such are the sentiments
he would instil into the minds of tho
rising generation such are the views
of the Democrats inculcate and advo-
cate.
When the law says that the liquor.
| vender shall be a person of good moral
| character and temperate habits" it re-
cognizes at once the importance Of
curling the traffic. And yet our DEM
| ocratic friend would advocate a law
to grant a license for the sale OF
that which is productive of evil and
nothing but evil-which breeds disease
and begets crimes. He would grant a
license permitting the establishment Of
public bars over the land, where the
taste is formed and nourished to a
point where the poor inebriate can moi
resist its terrible demands. Then says
the law: $50 far shalt thou 60. and no
farther" You shall not complete the
ruin you have begun, You have un.
demined the foundation Of the mobiles,
temple God ever erected. So far you

Here Is little story of an actual &C
currance: A Mr.. J. S. was in need Of
some poles with which to repair hi:
stable. Accordingly he bargain-d with
a Mr.. G. NJ. for the needed poles, but il
seems as though the owner of the tim
Der forgot to mention the transaction
to his wife. Mr.. S. went to the tlmbe,
to get the poles bargained for, and it SC
happened that the owner of the timber
was not at home on that day. Mrs. NJ
hearing the sound of the axe, said to
her daughter, I'VE must go and see who
the trespasser is On arriving at the
spot from whence came the sound of
the axe, what was their surprise to
find four poles lying there trimmed up,
hut no one in sight. Now, says MIS-. NJ.
to her da lghter. we will go IN to Mrs.
Ms and get her indigo bag and mark
these poles. so your father will know
them. On her return what was her
surprise and chagrin to find Mr.. S. also
returned to his poles. Mrs. NJ. now de-
manded OF him sharply who gave him
authority to cut timber there. Mr.. s.
calmy replied that Mr.. NJ. did. Mrs. N.
became enranged, and stood looking at
the man before her, as if making up her
mind what 10 do about it. At last her
tongue loosened, and she declared that
she did not believe one word he said;
and. to use his own words, she made it
hot as well hot as-for him for
about fifteen minutes. While going on
with her TRADE, she put her hand IN
her pocket for her handkerchief. Mr..
S. already trembling with fright, could
not run; but supposed she was reaching
for a revolver. At last she ceased talk
ing. Mr. j. $. returned home, and has
since passed through spell of sickness,
and now Millard has one more grey
haired man. UNCLE 1ScHABoD.
