ses'' were only to st. Peter and return,
and submit that $2245 is more than
necessary ''travehny expenses" to the
asylum. The complaint I have heard
generally was us to the principle and
propriety Of presenting a bill for
medtc0t services under such circum-
stances.

for my bills until our unfortunate

instead of putting them on the poor

carrying is DR.. e. d. Barber himself.
The Probate fees in the case of his
brother are still due and unpaid, while
he promptly drew bill for his own
services from the county.

movement, abusing I'LL persons who diff

This is $'falsus in uno falsus in omni-
bus" which, being interpreted, means
that ''you know 1t IS false as an omni-
bus full of falsehoods.'' 1t is studious.
ly, purposely, wilfully false and inten-
ded to misrepresent the ADVANCE
We did not ''lead off, in an attack IN.
OH any one. You know, and every
reader of the ADVANCE knows, that in
the first Issue Of our paper after the.
prosecutions began, we gave fair re
port and offered to give both sides a.
hearing. 1t was not until your meth
DDS were fully developed that we got
our eyes open and saw the clover, foot
sticking out, the colored man III the.
wood pile, the wolf under the wool Of
the lamb. It was not until we discuy
cred that Crissy had been about tow,i
lying, dectjving, and begging resppcta
ble druggists for liquor III order that h.
might inform on them; not till the
town had been canvassed, bulldog ii
and threatened TO make sentiment III
favor of the fanatics; not till you had
set on men, women and children to de-
n"unce rs whisky mem I'LL who did no,
agree with you; not till the churches
had been prostituted to the venting of
political and personal feeling;-:ot till
all this, did we open the b;.1tcri,s OF
the ADVANCE.
On the contrary, you know and every
ADVANCE reader knows, that we ''l+t
OFF, with the statement that if The par
ties had violated the law, they ought to
be fined. We said this in tile first ISSUE.
Ut the ADVANCE after the prosecutions
began. We did not SEE the Use, and do
not now, OF dragooning, bull'lozing and
crossplowing the whoIc,toWu to secure
the conviction OF a few men for selling
beer. The result proved that we were
right. Neighbor has been arrayed a.
gainst neighbor; iIl-feeling has bee, es-
tabiishe0 between former friends; wo-
men who USED to speak we'll Of tem,cr-
ance men are glibly deno,'ncing them
rs ''whisky men," threats If non.i1.ttr-
course socially and in business have
been freely made; and the town has
been turned upside down over a few
beer prosecutions which coul, have. been
made quietly and parties WHO differed
III opinion could still have remained
friends. The climax Of their folly and
partiality was reached when they pros
ecuted two Of the druggists and refused;
to prosecute the other one.
No, every stage of the movement
from beginning to end bears tie inn
press of 'fanaticism.'' The word ''ra.
naticism' is branded on tie brow Of
the movement III red letters t! at 10 one
can fail to read.
The Journal may we'll devote several
columns a week to n!sreprese; ing the
ADVANCE and blaming us for muddy
ing the stream which it's own friends
muddied. This course helps it to hide
its chagrin 1T the result of the election
at which the people condemned the fa-
natics by their votes as we did by the
ADVANCE.
1t is simply an effort to stan! well
with the temperance people. -Journal
That depends upon what you mean
by temperance people," II you mean
the quiet, fair, sensible temperance Pc
ople who carried the recent village cleo
ton, we already stand well with them.
If you mean the Crissys and Comstocks
we must admit that we are not making
al effort to stand well with them. We
are denounced rs Il whisky MANI H.

voters Of the town. We can stand it
