Little as we know Of the future, it
is not wholly hid from view. We
can catch a good peep from behind
the curtain now and then. The past
and the present Of anything gifts US
to certain extent with the provision
Of its future. By what anything has
been and is, we can prophecy much
what it will be, and, if it be something
Of magnitude, for instance, great
nation, a great party, a great
man, we can only deduce its
probable destiny and mission. Look
ing at its past and present, it
seems to us that the destiny of the
Democratic party can be plainly pre-
vised, and its mission in the universal
scheme discerned. The moment that
slavery entered politics, and began the
battle for national supremacy, that
moment the Democratic party hug
ged it to its affectionate bosom, and
became its foster-mother. AS soon as
disunion reared the standard Of trea-
son, it found shelter and succor be-
meath the wings of Democracy. Now,
when the great evil of intemperance
is being hard pressed by the rapid
growth Of temperance sentiment, it
rushes, as by an instructive impulse,
to the outstretched arms of the Dem
ocratic party, where, handled and
fondled with maternal care, it will re-
main until swept away by the inevita-
BILE course of events. When intem-
perance, or its outgrowth, the institu-
ton Of saloons, goes to sleep its last
sleep with slavery and disunion, upon
what evil will, it then lavish its love?
We can think of but one-polygamy.
If it be consistent, the party will
clasp that promising incubus. Other
evils may develop, and become part
of politics, by the time polygamy is
extinct; but in all probability the
dissolution of the party will then
ensue. Its great mission-which ap-
pears to be the arrayal of evils in po-
litical form that they may be annihi-
lated-will have been accomplished
As long as the offal of great evils
holds out, the Democratic buzzard will
flap its Joyous wings and fatten.

Temperance.

We recognize more and more the
obligations upon US to impress upon
the mind of our people, especially the
and places, and by faithful and pains
taking teaching in the family, the
Sunday school and day school, and by
frequent and heart-searching Bible
admonition in the pulpit, the deadly
danger of rum, so that tippling may
be soon regarded by all classes as II
most debasing sin, polluting the heart,
drowning the voice of conscience, de-
throning reason, and finally destroy
ing men in perdition. That while we
do not pretend to dictate to our peo-
pie as to what particular party or
men they should support at the polls,
we urge all brethren to make a COLI
slant discrimination at elections III
favor Of sober men as against tlpplerS
and drunkards to the end that wisdom,
sobriety and righteousness may form
ulate our laws bear rule in our courts
and thus conserve tn interests of edu-
cation, morality and religion.
We rejoice that in the providence
Of God the friends of temperance III
Ohio will have the opportunity this
fall to vote for the prohibition of tha
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors as a beverage, by voting for
the constitutional amendment. We
earnestly urge the voters IN our men,
bership without distinction of party
to embrace this great opportunity and
rally to the support of the prohibitory
amendment.

Newark Daily Advocated
Newspaper Deaths.
A Few Solemn Truths, Plainly Stated,
About the Newspaper Business.

The announcement made On Satur-
day that there was another newly
made grave in the Newark newspaper
cemetery, created no surprise. In
fact, it has been anticipated by many
for some time. 1t is worthy of remark
that the demised gives very general
satisfaction to the community. Bat
the end is not yet. There are several
more yawning graves, and it IS only
question of brief time when there
will be a newspaper corpse to fill every
one of them.
Some wholesome lessons are being
taught by the newspaper surfeit of
this city. One of these is, that Il
newspaper, in order to be successful,
must be backed by capital, response
bility, respectability, and brains
Another is that there is no demand, lii
place Of this size, for more than one
paper of each political party. The
people and the business men are bur
dened when there are more than this
to be supported.
Every business man in this city who
advertises intelligently, recognizes the
fact that he can reach every ybody in the
community through the medium Of
the two leading papers. Anything
more than this is useless expenditure
Of money, and an unnecessary tax
upon the business men who are i'm
portuned to go beyond it by irrespon-
sible proprietors of characterlesS
sheets and without circulation.
There has evidently been false ide;
abroad in regard to supposed profits OF
the newspaper business, judging by
the number who have engaged in it IL
this city. 1t is to be hoped that they
are all wiser by the experience they
are getting. The real fact Is, that
there is not a newspaper office in th'
city that is doing anything more thar
paying expenses and affording a very
scant recompense for those who toi
in the journalistic treadmill. N
other branch Of business is so poorl!
paid at this time for the capital in
vested and labor performed.

National Americana
Law Breaking Works Two WAYS.

At Holden, Missouri. on the 18th,
about twenty-five women entered the
saloon Of L. B. Williams with axes
and demolished everything in sight.
We don't know whether Mr.. Will
Jams was one Of the high-license, ire
spectacle, law-abiding" saloon-keepers
or not, but we will venture the sug-
gestion that if anybody ever needed to
be tarred and feathered Mr.. Williams
did at the hands of those twenty-five
women. We will also venture the
assertion that if some African Zulu
should 60 to Holden and attempt to
exercise his personal liberty" by do
ing one-tenth the injury which a sa-
loon would do to the homes of these
twenty-five women by some device of
the devil, and they should hang him
to the first lamp post, there could not
be found in the State of Missouri a
jury which would not say-served him
right. The Home must be protected.
If the msn won't protect it with their
ballots let the women protect it with
axes. There are thousands of homes
utterly ruined every year by the sa-
looms of Missouri. Kind husbands
are turned into wife beaters who let
their families starve. Sons, who have
supported widowed mothers, are turn
ed into worthless hoodlums, by the
respectable saloon. Who will blame
the wives and the mothers for using
extreme measures, to save their hus-
bands and sons from drunkard's
graves and themselves from the poor
house? Nine out of ten of the dram
sellers of this State would cut their
own throats rather than bear a tithe
of the trouble which the wife Of
drunken husband, or the mother of a
drunken son, bears. Thousands Of
women Of this city who, few years
ago had prosperous husbands. pleasant
homes and plenty of this worlds goods
have seen everything they possessed,
even to the last piece Of furniture go
into the till of the dram-seller, and
their husbands into drunkard's graves.
We have often wondered how these
women can pass a saloon without
demolishing everything in sight.

The proposed first amendment sim

The proposed first amendment SIM
ply amounts to a repeal of the no
license clause in the constitution.
The Supreme court has decided that
the Legislature has the power to tax.
Inasmuch, therefore, as the demo-
cratic party has declared in favor of
license, it is presumed the first amend
ment is the one that democrats will
vote for. The republican party has
declared in favor Of taxation; there
fore republicans can have no prac-
tical use for the first amendment.
The prohibition amendment stands
simply on its own merits, independent
of all the declarations of either of the
great parties. Unless license is ia
vored, there is really only one amend
ment that is practicable. The fact
that license has been submitted to the
people several times and has been
defeated overwhelmingly, would seem
to settle the question that it never
will be adopted in Ohio.-Xenia Re

The Heritage of Drunkenness.


The drunkard leaves sad heritage
to his child. 1t is bad enough for a
man to debase and degrade himself,
but still worse to transmit to his off
spring his degradation. 1t is a gener-
ally recognized principle in the prop
agation Of the human and animal
species, that like produces like, and
this principle is found to hold true as
regards the offspring of drunkards.
Not all the children of drunkards will
be addicted to the use Of strong drink
Uusually the mother is not ad-
dicted to the use of strong drink,
and oftentimes loathes it with all the
power of her soul. Her influence ex-
erts a saving power over the offspring
of the intemperate father, and some
Of the children will be able to resist
the tendency which they feel to par
take of strong drink. A large part
Of the children Of the drunkard, how
ever, inherit a strong appetite for
alcoholic liquors, and it requires a
powerful effort to resist the tempta-
ton to indulge. They have also in
herited a depraved nervous organiza-
tion, often with weakened will and
Unbalanced intellect. Samuel Royce,
in his work on deterioration or Race
Education" says: "The drinking
habit of the parent is in most cases
an irresistible impulse or disease in
the child, uncontrolled by any motive
whatever" When both parents are
addicted to intemperance, very few of
the offspring escape going the same
way.
An appetite for strong drink is not
the only heritage the drunkard leaves
his children. Weakened intellects,
Unbalanced minds, predisposition to
insanity, aud even idiocy are also
transmitted to the offspring. Many
Of the children Of drunkards become
insane, many are idiotic, and not a
few on account of their unhappy
organization are driven to take their
own lives. Maudsley says that drunk
enness in the parent is cause of
idiocy, suicide, or insanity in the off
spring. Morell, who made the study
of human deterioration speciality,
cites many cases of children Of inc
briates cursed in latter years with the
hereditary craving for alcoholic
liquors, leaving one insane asylum for
another, and ending in marasmus,
general paralysis, in perfectly brutal
condition, with the utter extinction
Of reason and conscience. Of 800
idiots examined by DIR. Howe, in the
State Of Massachusetts, 145 were the
children Of intemperate parents.
Should the drunkard be allowed to
bring into the world children imbued
with an almost irresistible appetite
for strong drink, predisposed to in
sanity and suicide, or perhaps idiotic?
1t is an infamous outrage upon the
innocent child, and should be pre-
vented by placing The drunkard in an
asylum where he can not become a
father until he has reformed. 1t
would be far better for society and
for the State to place the drunkard in
an asylum and keep him there till he
is reformed, than to allow him to be-
come the father Of imbecile, insane,
or criminal children, whom the State
must care for. Prevention in such
cases is better than cure.

RIGHT ON TO PROHIBITION.
BY GEORGE ATEN.

Behold the desolate homes of our land!
From Atlantic shore tn Pacific strand.
The rum fiend's reveled and sought his prey
In the darkest night on the brightest day.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong
IT'S God against Satan, tits right against wrong
IT'S temperance or whisky, tits comfort or woe
AS rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
How few are the homes that have not beer
blighted,
Where the glare of this demon hasn't sometime
lighted;
But now alas! loved one is taken,
And hearts have been saddened and home al
forsaken.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong,
'Tis God against Satan, tits right against wrong
IT'S temperance whisky, tits comfort woe
AS rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
1t steals from the heart and it teals from the
brain.
1t steals from the pocket with all might and
main;
1t takes away happiness and leaves only sorrow,
1t takes away means and leaves you to borrow.
Awake, dear friends. for the conflict be strong,
'Tis God against Satan, tits right against wrong
IT'S temperance or whisky, tits comfort or woe
As rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
Not even old age is free from the curse,
Lo here! an old man most ripe for the hearse;
poor,
And now drags him down, right down to deaths
door.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong,
IT'S God against Satan, tits right against wrong
'Tis temperance or whisky, tits comfort or woe
As rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
See there young man in the prime of his life!
By rum made maniac, till passion is rife,
And he loses his reason, destroys his good name,
And gets for himself only misery and shame.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong,
IT'S Sod against Satan, 'tis right against wrong
IT'S temperance or whisky, tits comfort or woe
AS rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
The boys are In danger by night and by day;
The foe turks in secret, he's on the highway,
He has for the weak ones, and tolls for the
strong,
And destruction is sure, though the work he
prolong.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong,
IT'S God against Satan, tits right against wrong;
IT'S temperance or whisky, tits comfort
As rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
where is the man who has not some friend
To whom a helping hand he may lend?
Some friend made dear by the ties of kindness,
But dragged by strong drink into awful blindness.
Awake, dear friends, for the conflict be strong,
IT'S God against Satan. tits right against wrong,
IT'S temperance or whisky. tits comfort or woe
AS rum is the conqueror, we conquer :he foe.
Arouse, ye voters, the time is at hand,
To Danish the demon out of the land,
To rescue a race from the merciless foe,
And save home and nation from ruin and woe.
Awake, dear friends for the conflict be strong,
IT'S God against Satan, tits right against wrong;
IT'S temperance or whisky, tits comfort or woe
AS rum is the conqueror, or we conquer the foe.
