THERE can be 10 honest controversy be-
tween the friends Of temperance reform.
Some believe in nothing but prohibition
The Journal has said these all should con-
tlnue to agitate aud work for what they be-
lieve to be the best and the only legislation.
There are others who believe in local option.
The Journal has said these should continue
to labor for what they believe to be the best.
Prohibition is killed for the present, SO far
as legislative action is concerned, and local
option cannot be had withouta constitutional
amendment, thing we believe an mpossi-
bility to be even started in this Legislature

the liquor league, while at the best there
must be at least three or four years inter

present inefficient aud ineffective law be al

believe in the regulation of the traffic at all
rebel, or shall there be law passed that will
act as restraint to some degree at least

REV. HENRY WARD BEEcHER, in an inter-

prohibition could be enforced by law, and
expres9its himself favorable to the local
option idea But then. with the delightful
logic INDUCED in by some people, Mr.
Beecher's orthodoxy on certain theological
points may be questioned, and therefore he
is incapable of having sound views on the

THE Louisville Courier-Journal is great
newspaper, and the strongest anti-tariH jour
nal in the country. Yet it was not fair
enough to give the press report of the New
York meeting in the interest of American
industry. There is not protection paper OF
any pretensions in the country that would
be afraid to have it's readers see a similar
report of free trade conference. We submit
to the most rabid free trader, if honest, that
a cause which commands the earnest advo-
cacy of men like Peter Cooper and William
NJ. Evarts is entitled to fair treatment, and
is likely to have enough merit in it to war
rant other argument than fiippant denuncia-
ton. To talk of protection bosses" ''pro-
lection robbers" "pig-iron thieves" and the
like, may do for beardless boys, who i'll the
exuberance of their fancy mistake priggish-
ness for profundity and confound mental
excitation with processes of thought; but
such paltry dribble will not answer for seri-
Gus, sober-minded men, and will not count
in the pending contest upon one of the pro-
foundest questions of the day.

This Horace Heffren, now making laws for
the people of Indiana, was a double traitor
a traitor first and foremost to his country,
and secondly a traitor to his comrades,
whom he betrayed in the hope of saving his

He swore when he entered the United States

obey the President of the United States and
those placed in authority over him. This

Bound to Overcome the Whisky Traffic.

Fairm0unt NeW5.
Ten years ago our most radical temperance
people did not think of prohibition, while
to-day it is preached from almost every pull
pit in the State. In every hamlet and school
district the youth are taught the evil results
of the use OF intoxicants, and with our pub
lie schools, the Sunday and churches
on the war path, the coming generation is
bound to overcome the whisky traffic.

As it looks to the Journal there have been
few cases of greater wrong against clearly in
nocent parties than the inquest into the
death of Miss Calhoun, with its cloud of i'll
defined gossip and baseless rumors. And we
do not think the teachers resolution, which
in effect give color of credence to the tales
of gossips and busy ybodes-tales which the
medical examination has proven utterly
groundless-was in good taste, to say the
least. Miss Calhoun was an estimable
woman and an excellent teacher; her death
was sad and regretful one; both her charac-
ter and her work are worthy all the words of
encomium passed upon them by her associates;
but throughout the whole unfortunate in
quiry there has seemed to be a power push
ing it forward more concerned in giving
trouble to those presumably innocent of even
a thought of wrong than in vindcating any
principle of right or justice. The Journal
carefully refrained from giving currency to
any of the purely sensational rumors in the
case, and hopes now that the whole painful
matter will be allowed to rest quietly, as
should have been done from the first.

There will be strong demand for local
option law by many friends of temperance,
some of whom are prohibitionists. After all,
that is the best and most effectual kind of
prohibition. If the local sentiment favors
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, even pro-.
hibitory amendment 20 the constitution could
not be enforced; whereas, if the public senti-
ment in any community is so much opposed
to the traffic as to vote against license, or re-
fusd to petition for it, the sale can be effect
ually suppressed. 1t would be Improbable.
