Illinois Liquor Dealers.
7hey Take Despondent Viea0 of the
Situation.

At the recent Liquor Dealers
and Saloon Keepers Convention in
Chicago, a remarkable report was
presented by the Trustees:
1t takes a gloomy view of the
adoption by Iowa of the prohibi-
ton amendment, of Kansas fideli-
ty to St. John, Nebraska's prohibi-
ton tendency, Missouris narrow
escape, and of the growth of pro-
hibition in the South. Illinois
they say, is like feeble victim of
this robber of Democratic govern
ment, constitutionality and indi-
vidual liberty. They attribute
their prohibition success to the
sloth and inactivity of the saloon
lists. The business Of Illinois is
threatened. The Board has been
organizing, agitating and doing
political and legal work. The SER
vices of Rev. C. G. Burnett, Of
Iowa, and other lecturers have
been secured. This kind of agita-
ton is deemed wisest, and the Board
recommend that means be pro-
cured to continue it. The tables
show that fully half the cities, vii
lagos and towns of Illinois have
been won by the Prohibitionists.
This is an alarming fact, The
election Of Judge Craig to the Su-
preme Court from the Fifth dis
trict was triumph for the liquor
interest. The election of mem
bers of the Legislature requires &C.
tive work in November. They rec
ommend that another construction
be secured from the Supreme
Court Of the dram shop act" and
a movement to that end will be in

M. E. Church on Temperance.

The Episcopal Methodists OF
Knoxville District IN tennessee
adopted these resolutions in their
District Conference, which certain
ly have the right ring:
That we approve the principles
of prohibition, as illustrated IN the
legislation of Maine, Kansas, and
owa.
That as Christian citizens, we
consider ourselves under moral OBJ
legation to support no candidates
for civil office who are not COM
mitted in theory and practice to
these temperance principles, &C
cording to the repeated recommen-
dations of the General Conference.
The editor of the atlanta Metho-
dist Advocate, in indorsing these res
olutions takes occasion to restate
the attitude of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in this item taken
from its "Declaration of princl-
pies"
"Both science and human expert
ence unite with the Holy Scrip
lures in condemning all alcoholic
beverages as being neither useful
nor safe. The business of manu-
featuring and vending such liquors
is also against the principles of mo
rality, political economy, and the
public welfare. We, therefore,
regard voluntary abstinence from
all intoxicants as the true ground
Of personal temperance, and com
plete legal prohibition Of the traf-
tic in alcoholic drinks as the duty
of civil government"
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1882-10-04
Resolutions on Temperance.

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Sunday School Con-
vention at Pruntytown.
Resolved, That, we look with
alarm upon the magnitude of the
liquor business, and deplore this ap-
palling evil in our midst, murder
ing annually from 10000 to 100,-
900 of our fellow citizens; invading
happy homes with discord and
strife, poverty and wretchedness !;
multiplying paupers and criminals
at the public expense and detri
ment; embarrassing and thwart-
ing the efforts OF the teacher, the
preacher, the philanthropist, the
legislator and the Governor; rob-
bling God of his own, and minister
ing to the greed of hell.
That we as free American citi-
zens protest against maintaining
the large army Of liquor dealers,
who are a non-producing class en-
gagged in a nefarious business the
proceeds of which equals twice the
bread bill of the Nation.
That we hail with unspeakahle
pleasure and sincere gratitude the
prohibition attitude of the friends
of temperance in our country,
That, in electing members of the
Legislature, we proclaim in favor
of restricting our votes and inhu-
ence to those who can be relied up
on to submit the constitutional pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic to the
voters of the State.

Third District.
Prof. p B. Reynolds Charleston
Speech.

We give the following extracts
from the State 1ribnne's report OF
Prof Reynolds recent speech in
Charleston. The Tribune says:
There seemed to oe a special in
terest in his speech, not only be-
cause of it's introducing a new issue
in our politics, but because of Mr..
Reynolds known ability as a rea-
soner and public speaker.
He spoke at some length in the
outset of his address Of the progress
of the cause of prohibition through
out the country, Of how it is alb
sorbing the attention of thinking
men and virtuous men in every
State, and predicted that within a
few years prohibition would be-
come the settled policy of the ma
ton. He said it was a question
that was moving the people,
gaining strength in it's progress,
and that there is no power on earth
that can arrest it. That opposl-
ton toit ONLY augments its strength
and accelerates its movement.
He explained why he was in the
field as an Independent candidate.
He said that neither the Republi-
cans nor Greenbackers were able to
elect their candite, and that as the
dominant party in the District had
utterly ignored the question of pro-
hibition, an independent move
ment was consequently rendered
necessary. He understood that the
policy of every political party is,
that if they see no hopes of elect
ing their own candidate, the next
best step is to beat the opposing
party, and that as the Republican
and Greenback parties were great
ly in the minority, he expected
them to unite with the prohibition
lists in common cause to beat Mr..
Kenna, the common foe of all.
His speech was remarkable for
it's absence of anything like cant
or the abuse of parties, men or
measures, so common in a political
canvass, as well for its moderation
of statement and the apparent hon
esty of the speakers purpose. He
addresses the intelligence judgment
and virtuous sentiments OF men,
rather than their passions and
prejudices. A leading politician
remarked after the speech that Rey-
nolds had a "big case," and this
opinion seems to have been shared
by a great many others who would
fain it were otherwise. Mr.. Kenna,
his distinguished opponent, was
present. and WAS compelled to lis
len to many unwelcome truths adj
ministered to himself and his par
ty by the speaker, which, while
uttered in friendly spirit, were
like bombshells wrapped in silk,
appeared very soft and pleasant,
but caused disaster wherever they
struck.

The Difference.

No intoxicating liquors are al
lowed to be sold upon the State
Fair ground, and this year all games
of chance were excluded. Result
in attendance upon the Fair last
week, forty thousand people, and
during the ten days but one arrest
made on the grounds. The absence
of drunken men and quarrels was
generally remarked. In the city,
where saloons were open all night
in defiance Of law, from Monday
until Friday night, sixty-three ar
rests were made. Those sixty-three
arrests will cost the city more than
all its saloons paid into the city
treasury for that time, yet our
wise CD Mayor says we must have
the revenue from the saloons.
When will city officials learn to
work the problem through, and not
stop at the first equation.-&gnal.
