How Is This?
PROPHET

Liquor drinking is common pastlme with
Democrats. All Democrats drink, and most
Democrats drink a great deal. Nine.tenths
of the liquor made in the United States finds
its way down Democratic Threats, and nine
tenths OF the revenue on spirits paid into the
Treasury comes out of Democratic pockets.
Republicans do not drink liquor. The fire,
frenzy and concentrated wlCkedness in the ar
tce are antagOnistic to the exalted serenity
and morality of these exemplary persons, and,
therefore, they abhor It, Republicans never
drink anything more Ubiquitous than pop and
root beer. Hence the communities that turn
out steady and unvarylng Republican MAORI.
ties are noted for their sobrlety, high morality,
decorousness and general exemption from the
vices and ills that atilict people whose indulg-
ences are not limited to ice.water and pop.
These are aXloms. No one dares dispute
them. They are printed In big letters in the
American primer.
Still, there are some things that puzzle us
Kansas Is Republican teetotal state. Not a
drop of liquor ir drunk IN Kansas from one
year to another. And yet the statistics of the
Internal Revenue Bureau for last year return
1852 licensed saloons for the sale of spirits IN
Kansas greater number than is returned
for South Carolina, which is Democratic, and
wholly given up to liquor drinking. There is
one dram-shOp in Kansas to every S97 persons
in South Carolina, one to every 910 persons
Then there is the Republican and teetota
State of Maine, where, too the people have
had no knowledge of the taste, smell and color
of liquor for ten years; yet the official repor
credits Maine with one saloon to every 19l in
habitants. Then there is Massachusetts, which
has one saloon for every 245 inhabitants, Will,
Arkansas has only one for every 55S inhabl
tants. Rhode Island has twice as many il
proportion to population as Georgia-the fig
ures being, in Rhode Island, one saloon I,
every 296 souls, and in Georgia one to ever,
GIG. One saloon to every 437 souls suflices IL
kentucky, but OHIO requires one to every Do
souls.
OF course there must be something wron!
in these figures, since they conflict with tn
axioms of the Republican primer. The Com
missioner of Internal Revenue ought to b
called to account for his temerity IN permit
ting such an insuaerably defamatory docu
ment to get out of his otlice-St. LOui

Now, how about temperance going to be

republican party, to please the Germans, will
not coalesce with the third, or prohibition, par

THE COUNTY SEAT.
Another Forcible Reason Why IL
Should be Removed.

The late action OF the Postoffice De-
partment in reducing the mall service
to Hamilton to a weekly virtually
cuts off all public means of coInmu-
nication between the great majority
Of the people OF this county and the
seat Of justice, and to all candid
minds this will appear as one of the
most forcIble reasons yet advanced
why our county seat should be To-
calsd somewhere within reach of tue
great mass of the taxpayers. Just
think Of it. 1t will require two weeks
to aend and receive an answer TO any
communication Of importance. And
II you want to transact business in
Hamilton that requires your presence
you will have TO make the circuit of
two outside counties to reach there, at
any expense of not less than $40 for
the trip one way. This will be about
the route and fare /: From here to
Wells, SI5; Wells to Palisade, s.;
Palisade TO Eureka, 50; Eureka to
Hamilton, So. Unless you are so for
tnnate as TO have a conveyance Of
your own this is the quickest and
cheapest way you can hereafter visit
The county seat IN its present location,
for no public means OF travelling eau
be made remunerative on a weekly
mail, and that service Will be carried
on horseback. Viewing the matter
in this light, we do not believe that
the people of Hamilton and the west-
ern parts of the county would be so
unreasonable as to offer any great OBJ
lection To removal in the interest Of
the mass of the taxpayers. A rem
edy for the present isolated location
OF our county sea- must surely be had,
and why defer the timer Let us
begin the work at once Let us
secure the requisite petition, and ask
the Board of Commissioners to order
an election. Anywhere east OF the
Egan range suits us. OF course our
choice Is Cherry Creek, but that is for
the voters to say. The main point to
be considered is the location Of our
Courthouse at some point where the
people will not be compelled TO make
half the circuit of the State and pay
fare to half a dozen stage lines II
several railroads to reach 1t.
