To the Editor OF the Indianapolis Journal
There was a world of good sense in the edi-
torial in last Friday Journal on the position
OF the temperance convention, especially in
the suggestion that the domination of the
liquor sellers had been chiefly instrumental
in producing the state OF enthusiastic pur-
pose that was manifest. But what you said
about the six steps to the throne, though
correct in principle, is likely to be misun-
derstood. The trouble is that we have taken
four or five of the steps that lead to prohibit
ton and we don't propose to go back and
step them over again. We have tried moral
suasion-that was a good step. IS reformed
thousands upon thousands, and drove
preachers and church members from
3he business of making and sell
ing liquor, and generally from renting
houses for the traffic. But when the
church people stepped down and ont of the
business there were plenty of the other kind
to take their places, and there are about as
many drunkards needing reform to-day as
ever, and about as many saloons to be regu-
lated.
Then We tried high license; in some cases
rs high as $500. The Supreme Court decided
that the town OF Franklin had a right to
tried $500 it decided that Wabash was too
small a place to put such a tariff on the
business, though the law was the same as to
the two towns. Besides this, no one could
notice any material difference in the number
or character of the drunkards made under
high or low license For three years
we tried no license at ALL and the
result was about the same as under
license, high and low; then we tried local
option. 1t was little better than the no
license, or the high license, or the low license;
that was the fourth step, you see. Now we
have tried for eight years the ''well-regulated
license" which the liquor-sellers prepared
for us, and that is the least satisfactory of
all, and that is the fifth step, you see? Now
we propose to take the sixth step if we die in
the attempt. and we don't propose to die,
either, and that step is called prohibition.
When General Grant was called to Wash
ington to go into Richmond. some editor Il
think it was) began to suggest this and that
to him. The hero of Vicksburg said that he
thought that by the aid of the recon-
noissances of McClelland and Meade
and Pope and Burnside, he pretty
thoroughly understood the situation, and
he had determined to march straight for
Richmond, wilderness or no wilderness, and
he marched, very much to the disgust of
jeff Davis and his friends North and South,
That is about the way the prohihtionists
feel. There has been enough skirmishing
1t may take this summer and the next, and
possibly two or three more, but we don't
intend to step backward for the sake of 60
ing over those five preliminary steps. On to
prohibition is our watchword now.

Oh, uJyBa0Lz!

That's a commoncxprcs-
sion and has a world OF
meaning. How much SUI
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism, dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever tbecause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and maxi
ing the blood pure and rich.
VIM. P. Marshall, of Logans-
port, Indiana, writes: " My wife
has for many years been trou-
bled from pain in her back
and general debility incident
to her sex. She has taken one
bottle of Browns Iron Bitters,
and l can truthfully say that
she has been so much benefited
that she pronounces it the
only remedy of many medi-
cines she has tried"
Leading physicians and
Clergymen use and recon-
mend BRowN's IRON BIT
TIERS. 1t has cured others
suffering as you are, and it

the usual method Of supporting
overladen fruit trees is to place long
stakes, with fork at the top, beneath
them. A much better and more simple
method of effecting the purpose is
suggested by DR.. j. H. Mease,
of Lebanon, Pa. Instead of using
several stakes, one to each princi-
pal branch, he places single strong
pole against the trunk of the tree. The
lower end of the pole, If desired, may
be sunk few inches in the soil for adj
ditional support, but usually it will be
sufficient to secure it to the trunk by
means of straw bands or other ties that
will not bruise the bark. The pole be-
ing secured the dropping branches are
relieved by means of ties made fast to it.
DIR. Mease states that this method of
tying up the branches of overloaded
trees is especially useful in storms,
the support being central, and more
natural than where several props are
used.-Americon Agricsslittrist.
