The temperance people Of Wortling-

with those fanatics, Mr.. ADVANCED

You will remember that is exactly
the point we made on them some weeks
ago in an article under the head of

They don't want the people here to vote

Rev. VIM. q. Pope, In letter 70

empting parssnages from taxation,
says:
AS infidels enjoy the advantages Of
living in Christian State, they ought
to be made to pay for them.
AS usual the Rev. gentleman begs
the whole question. He assumes that
the Government of the United States
is 'Christian State" It is not 80.
The constitution recognizes 10 religion,
but protects Christian, Jew, Infidsl,
and all alike. That is tho theory, 1t

Another Westprn judge decides that
Comstock s deccy letters are not good
evidence in court. On the contrary
they make him purt,ceps cri,ninis. IN.
Y. Man, Organ Of the Liberal League.
We are only sorry that the courts are
so slow in coMing to that decision. The
ADVANCE maintained it At the time of
the arrest and Infamous conviction Of
D. NJ. Bennett, and has repeated it ov-
or and over ever since. We claimed
then and claim still that Anthony Com
stock is accessory to the crime every
time lie tempts Il man to violate his
unconstitutional, n,edlaevil law ard
that lie should bc arrested and punish
cd as accessory. He is pursuing prose-
custom and persecution a. trade and
is writing lying, d~cey letters and Ia
boring right and left to induce men to
violate law in order that he may have
them convicted.
We deny that Comstock Is devoting
his energies to the suppression of OBJ
scene literature. If he were, no true
man would object. He is devoting his
efforts to the suppression of liberal
journals and the imprisonment of lib
eral editors, and every editor who has
spark of manhood or courage in him,
should denounce him day and night
until he is suppressed and landed in
prison for his many crimes and the
suffering he has inflicted upon good
men.

Interest Tn the political plans of MT. Blaine is revi we'd some what by his Southern tour. The Heir is making no noise, but travels quietly, and there are a few persons who attach conside- rable importance to his trip. The rumor is out that if he can- not control the next Republican Convention for himself he would be immensely pleased Cat least to frustrate the designs oi enemies" It is not clear what these designs are, but they are nc doubt desperate and diabolical. Poor, misguided Mr. Blaine Apparently he is still blind to the conspicuous fact that his future is wholly behind him. His influence in the United States is almost as insignificant as it was in South America.

well we notify him that MT. Pur- dy returned from Phoenix on Wednesday of this week. He begs us to assure the roaring cow = boy from the Huachuca wildS that one incident in his ca reer was overlooked in the com plimentary tirade against his characteristic fact that at the early age of four years he mur- dered his grandmother, and was only kept from performing the same act of kindness for his grandfather, by the circumstance of the old gentleman Having ceased to live before the grand son was born. We understa nd that the general is the victim of unrequited love up wonder in Prescott, which probably accounts for his fits of insanity. It would aid legislation considerably if somebody would prick hole in him and let the wind out. He Is as insufferable as an aggravated case of the itch.

has feared some such break f or lolg time-in fact, ever since the committees were allowed extra lamps and oil. Poor, misguiding virgins! You were not content to keep these extra llmpS burn- ing until the bridegroom should appear. That is too slow and un- certain. So you must anticipate. You must cIothe yourselves with all the emoluments of pair of brooches, so as to prance around and do the bridegroom act with out any male assistance. Well, girls, we will tell you frankly there's nothing in it. It may be lots of fun for a little while, but you will soon be glad enough to return to the good old way. We suppose the bill will pass. It ap- pears to be in accord with that spirit of democracy which has been so long clamoring for a change. But before it does pass we want to suggest an amend ment which will compel every member who votes in favor of 1t to wear petticoats for the rest Of his natural life, with a corset and box of lilly white thrown in extra for the man who intro duced the bill. In that condition we are unanimously in favor of it's becoming law.

There are two forcibIe reasons

There are two forcible reasons why the Recorder should be ex- officio clerk of the Board of Su- pervisors. First, on the score of economy and, second, because all county records should be safely kept and at all times accessible to the puplic. AS it is now one is obliged to spend good deal of time hunting up the clerk, and when he is found it depends alto gether upon the humor he is in whether or no he will show the records at all.
