PROHIBITION ORGANIZATIONS III
another column will be found cal
for meeting at Dodgeville on The
evening of July 10th, for the pur
pose of effecting a county organlza
ton of the friends of prohibition:
and meetings on other dates in diff.
ferent towns to complete town or
ganization.
The notice does not indicate the
| line Of action on which the cause of
prohibition is to be advanced Pro
hibition advocates have different
views as to what is the best method
of accomplishing the object which
all of them have in view, to wit:
the submission of a prohibitory con-
stitutional amendment to vote Of
the people of this State. Some of
them are understood to favor the
nomination of full tickets for Con
gressional, legislative and county
officers; Others thiak that the better
way is to nominate only candidates
for the Senate and Assembly and re-
iy upon the Republican or Demo.
cratic party to endorse them and
thus secure their election. Still
Others deem the most sensible and
safe course to be to wait until the
old parties make nominations, and
then give their energies to electing
which ever, if either, of said nom
inees is known to be in accord with
their views, and will support an
resolution.
As the TRIBUNE has consistently
favored the submission of the ques
ton, and the Republican party of
Iowa County has hitherto invariably
nominated for senate and assembly,
men Of that view, it is no imperti-
hence on our part to recommend to
the temperance workers the method
last suggested as the most rational
and likely to result satisfactorily
and successfully. The Republican
party of this county having hitherto
been right on this question, it is
certainly entitled to suspension Of
lction preiudicial to it until it
shows signs of going back on its
'ormer record.

cheerfully last week. O. c. makes
a bow to the public which partakes
strongly Of the grotesque. lie is

Pecks .Sun:
The religious efforts of the Sun
will mainly be directed towards the
conversion Of Robert G. lngersol,
and will endeavor TO establish bet
ter understanding between him and
Moses, and cultivate more friendly
feeling between the two families.
Should such an unusual scene oc-
cur as a conflict between tho Demo
cratic and Republican partios VI ""'
own State, the columns OF the SUN
will stand as arbiter between the
two, and after giving careful atten-
ton and an impartial hearing to
both sides will unanimously decide
in favor of the Democrats; but mt
the same time will use all its intiu-
ence to persuade the Republicans to
desist from such unnatural warfare,

WE ought soon to have cheaper
bread and potatoes, if nothing else.
The wheat crop now being, or soon
to be, harvested is enormous and of
fine quality--one of the best crops
ever grown in this country. And as
regards potatoes, the farmers all oy-
er the country planted more than
the usual quantity, and the prospect
for great yield is very good. With
cheap bread and cheap potatoes peo-
pie can manage to live quite com,
fortably.
As regards vegetables and diary
products, it is difficult to conceive
any good reason why the prices
should continue so high, unless that
the producers and SPECTATOR. have
entered into conspiracy TO rot
the people for the qualification OF
their own greed. The present un
