had so shortly before expressed him
self so decidedly in favor Of the first,
and who, over his own signature in
the Gallipolis District News, before
the Gallia County Prohibition Con-
qention, declared his intention to vote
the Republican ticket, could claim
any right to recognition in a Prohi-
bition Convention, to influence its ac-
ton, or dictate its policy, on any rule
of fair dealing, when it was certainly
known that the Prohibition Home
Protective Party was the only party
which had declared in favor of the
second proposition. Your avowed
purpose, you say, was to prevent the
nomination Of ticket. Would it not
have been more consistent, and more
in accordance with honest dealing, for
you to have attended the Republican
Convention, and used your influence
and logic to prevent it from nominal
ing ticket, but to spend all its in
fuence and power for the second
proposition. This course becomes
more apparent when it is known that
the Republican party, in its State
platform, has declared in favor of the
regulation Of the liquor traffic by
taxation, and which Foraker, the
standard d-bearer of the party, says is a
''fnality" on the question, in these
words: "But whether the Scott Law
stands or not, we know that the prin-
ciples of regulation and taxation, for
which it declares, are eternal and will
stand. And to the principles of regu.
lation and taxation of the liquor traf.
fic. be it known Of all men, the Re-
publican party is unalterably COM
mitted." Would not be well, just te
try your influence on Bro. Foraker
and the leaders Of the party, who are
declaring that regulation and taxation
are eternal principles, and that the
Republican party is unalterably COM
mitted to them as ''fnality." AND
should you convert your own party
before the second Tuesday of October
it would be well to use the remainde,
of the time in missionary work among
the Democrats, who have declared for
the eternal or internal principle Of IL
cense. Now, should you take our ad-
vice, and come, bringing your sheaves
with you, (howsoever much your gar
ments may be smeared with Demo
cratic and Republican mud we as
sure you that you will not be ''kicked
out Of Prohibition Convention" but
will be hailed with that welcome

servant" VIM. j. KIRKENDALL.

The Gallipolis Journal SAYS

IHE Gallipol1s journal says:
The Council of the incorporated
village of Vinton, under the Scott
Liquor Tax bill passed an ordinance
last Friday evening, prohibiting, on
and after July 25th, the sale of intox.
icating, vinous and malt liquors as
beverage within the corporation.
If the Council Of the village of Vim.
ton passed any such ordinance, they
are a set Of blundering asses. The
Scott law gives them no such power
Here is all the power given in that law
And any municipal corporation
shall have full power to regulate, re.
strain, and prohibit ale, beer, and por.
ter houses, and places Of habitual re-
sort for tippling and intemperance
But if any municipal corporation shal,
prohibit ale, beer, and porter houses
within the limits of such corporation
a ratable proportion Of the tax paiG
by the proprietors thereof for the un.
expired portion Of the year shall be
returned to such proprietors.
No municipal corporation has the
power to prohibit the sale of single
glass of intoxicating, vinous or malt
liquors. 1t can only regulate, restrain
or prohibit disorderly houses-not re-
strain the sales Of such liquors.

What They Are Doing.
CHAPTER II.

We are still asking the question "What
Benefit Does Community Derive From
a Doggery ?" Any traffic which is Of
sufficient Importance, or rather notoriety,
to arouse an interest in the minds OF
many of the citizens of the community,
must be either of some benefit or some
injury to the community. Will any sane
man claim, for moment, that doggery
is benefit to the community?
Let US see where the benefit comes in,
or whether there be a benefit. On Main
street, between Portsmouth street and
the alley in the middle of the square, are
three doggeries. The first of these, that
kept by Lou Hollberg, is one of the low
est and most stinking dens imaginable.
The general appearance of the place,
from the street, is that of the lowest kind
of doggery. The proprietor has been
more than once before the Courts, to an
swer for this criminal business. The
place issa stencil in the nostrils of decent
people, and we do not believe there is
man in this town who will attempt to
deny that this den is a curse to the COM
munity. True, there are few but the
lowest class of tOpers who go to this
ranch, but this fact does not make the
den any the more respectable. The police
have dragged many poor devil away
from this sink-hole of infamy. Of how
much benefit is Lou Hollberg's doggery
to this community?
Who can fifty paint the sadness sur
rounding the scene of poor wife and
mother pleading with this beast not to
sell her husband and the father of her
children any more of his hell-slops2 Who
can paint the diabo1ical "cussedness" of
the brute as he laughs at the misery he
is causing? What conscience, do you
suppose, is possessed by such men? What
feelings have such creatures for their
fellow-men? What care they for the
sight of misery? What respect have
they for their Creator? They seem to
go upon the theory that if God made
them, He did job of which He ought to
be ashamed, and they feel no concern for
the future. The only aim they have in
life is to make a living by crime, and by
appropriating, through their horrible
traffic, the earnings of better men than
themselves If Lou Hollberg would go
to work at some respectable business, he
would be valuable man in the COM
munity. His present traffic is an enemy
to the public peace and the public well
fare. Do not take our word for the con-
dition of things at this Devils Den; just
pass that way some evening or some big
day and see, and smell, for yourselves.
Then see, also, the miserable wrecks stag
gering about the streets, who, were there
no doggeries in the place, might be good
citizens. This den is only one of sixteen.
We hope to be able to "go around" and
take peep at more of them within the
near future. The way to get rid of the
Lou Hollberg's, the John Bertsch's, the
Frank MOTIFS and the like, is to vote for
the second amendment Every one of
these fellows will vote for the first. The
doggery-keeper a0arats license.

The Great Temperance Meeting.

The temperance meeting held in jack
son on the Fourth was one of the grand
est meetings ever held in the county. The
day dawned clear and beautiful, and peo-
pie began coming in early. There were
large delegations on the railroads, and
large numbers came by other convey
ances. At o'clock, the Christian Sab
bath School, r. N. Kendall, Sup't, the
Presbyterian Sabbath School, Moses Nor
gan, Sup't, and the M. E. Sabbath School,
C. A. Atkinson, Sup't, met at the Public
Square, and marched in procession to the
big tent in the Fair Grounds. Within
few minutes after the arrival of thea
Schools the tent was full of people, with
hundreds standing outside.
The exerc ises were begun by singing.
by the entire congregation, of the hymn
"All hail the power of Jesus name" fol-
lowed by reading of Bible lesson by Mrs.
z. L. Carr. Next, singing of Temperance
Song by M. E. Sabbath School. Next,
prayer by Rev. E. B. Finney, of Ha1nden.
Next, song by "Cold Water Band" under
leadership of Mrs. G. W. Rice. Rev. w
d. Cherington then made short opening
address, introducing Miss I.C. DeV Velling,
of Massachusetts,, who delivered power
full discourse on Temperance, holding up
to ridicule the thin, shyster-like trickery
displayed in the first amendment. Miss
De Yelling possesses a powerful yet mu-
sical voice, and the vast audience paid
the closest attention throughout. After
the close of her address, Prof. j. W..
Hank sang a temperance Song, when the
meeting adjourned for dinner.
In the afternoon Rev. Magee, of Coal
ton, made a short address. Mr.. Finney
was called out, but as Mr.. Creighton had
arrived on the ground, Mr.. Finney gave
way to him. Mr.. Creighton delivered one
of the most powerful and logical dis
courses we have listened to in long
time. Mr.. Creighton is always an elo-
quent speaker, and he was never more
thoroughly in earnest than on this occa-
sion.
Rev. F. B. Cherington, of Iowa, was
the next speaker. Mr.. Cherington pos
sesses musical voice, of great power,
and his speech was splendid effort. He
has been through former Temperance
campaigns in Iowa and Kansas, and
through the knowledge gained by ex-
perience there, was enabled to make his
address especially pointed and instruc-
tive to our people.
In the evening there was an immense
audience in the tent to hear Miss DeVell-
ing again, and that lady delivered an
other powerful discourse
This great meeting bore evidence of
the fact that the good people of Jackson
county are becoming thoroughly aroused
upon this important question. We have
the utmost faith that the people will vote
right in this matter, and we believe that
the political demagogue who goes before
this people with the first proposition, and
advocates the taxing and licensing of a
horrible crime, will just waste SO much
time. The people of Jackson county can
not be fooled with so thin trick as that |
first proposition. The temperance work
is going on finely, and no matter how
men may vote as to political parties, we
believe they wilkgenerally vote right on
the Temperance Question.

IT does seem like the pretended
Republican papers are determined to
destroy the party, if they can possibly
do so. They curse and abuse the Pro
hibition party, because its members
refuse to vote the Republican ticket,
and then they get down to the solid
truth, and admit that their pet meas
ure, the Scott Law, is in the interest
Of the liquor traffic.
Hear a few of their arguments.
The Athens Messenger, which is wild
for the law, says:
The Scott Law is popular all over
the State, and the almost universal
prediction is that no class will be bet
ter pleased with it than large major
ity of those who pay the tax.
The Ironton Bee, another earnest
friend Of the Law says:
The liquor dealers if wise, will ac-
cept it with thanks.
If this Law is a restraint of the
traffic, and is temperance measure,
why should the liquor sellers be so
thankful for it? The Cincinnati
Commercial, in long editorial trying
to persuade the Dutch that the Re-
publican party is the whisky party,
gives one of the reasons why they
should sustain the Law, as follows:
The Democratic law which made
illegal and penal the sale Of spirits to
be drank on the premises, is repealed
by the Scott Law, and this trade has
the same protection of law as all
other trades.
Verify, if the Republican party sur
vive the work Of it's fool friends, it
must possess wonderful vitality. !
