Dr. Wisner, one Of the parties who
was this week convicted Of driving cat
tie on of range not owned by him, and
hned for the offense, Is, we believe, the
same party who lately remarked that he
did not care to take the county papers
for the reason that they never contain
ed anything that interested him. Had
the good Doctor read the papers, espec-
tally the INDEX, he might have been
spared considerable trouble and ex-
pense. BY II he would have learned
that there are many people I'm this coun-
ty who have rights he must respect;
that domestic cattle cannot impart
Texas fever, though they may have
ranged with infected herds, and that
the law, when enforced, affords citi-
zen ample satisfaction when he imag-
ines his rights are being trampled OH.
These things DIR. Wisner would have
learned by reading the county papers.

Sam T. Rial, Of the well known com
mission firm Of J. X. Stoller g. Co..
of Kansas City, Mo-, was in the city
Monday, and gave 1t as his opinion that
good fat cattle we'll matured, will sell
well the season through. He thinks
the heavy runs of half fat cattle recent
ly is the sole cause OF the decline i'm
prices at beef centers. When asked as
to the market for feeding cattle, he said
there was already considerable enuui-
~ for this class, and that fine prospects
for good corn crop are reported from
the entire feeding country, Kansas,
Iowa and Missouri, and that in his
opinion Kansas City will pay good pric-
es for and year old half breed and
domestic steers for feeders the season
through. Mr.. Rial is one of the Mo-
neers OF the Kansas City stock yards.
having located there when the yards
were in their infancy, and watched their
growth and demands from year to year.
His experience and thorough knowledge
OF the beef trade enables him to draw
as correct conclusions is 1t is possible
perhaps at this time to do. Again we
would say TO beef nen, keep your cattle
until fat.

Reply to Bro. KirkendaIl.

DEAR SIR:-I am sorry to have dis
turbed you by my reference to the Pro-
hibition Party; but if in your judgment
my remarks were not GIN THE INTEREST
OF THE SECOND PROPOSITION ONLY" then
we are simply of different opinions.
Ideplored the fact that our prohibition
brethren had nominated state ticket.
In this have the company of thousands
as conscientious friends of the second
amendment as yourself. My reasons for
deploring this are sin the interest of the
second proposition only" L ask no man
to accept my opinions if he choose to diff
fer from me; but I have very decided
opinions on this subject, and when l
chance to be in county that has not yet
nominated a county ticket assert the
right to maintain them, Gin the interest
of the second proposition only"
Your letter with possible exception
in it's reference to the District NetOs) is
Christian in tone and sentiment. If
however it was intended to prejudice
democratic readers against me, you were
very happy in stating that over my own
signature 1 had declared my intention to
vote the republican ticket. I did no such
thing. In controversy with the Gallipo-
lis Journal, republican paper, 1 main
tained the right to do so.
If the second proposition only" is the
text of the prohibition party why is it so
ambitious to glorify ticket at the ex-
pense of that proposition?
Do you expect to gain votes for the
amendment by giving it political signii-
canoe, and arraying the prohibitionists
against other parties?
Had the prohibition party declined to
nominate a ticket it would have left the
amendment without particle Of politi-
cal significance. 1t would have made
friends for the amendment. 1t would
have been more proof of their sincerity
as party than the present zeal which
relegates both democrats and republicans
to the ranks of the opposition, and wars
against men that agree upon the amend
ment, but chose to differ on policy and
political preferences. 1t may be regarded
as a great opportunity, by ticket men, in
the ranks of your party, to take advan-
tage of the temperance tide in this way;
but 1 insist that when for the first time
in your history as party you have op-
portunity to contribute greatly to the
cause of prohibition by magnanimous
course, jealousy for political significance
has defeated it, and the prohibition party
will lose instead of gain by it.
If you can make converts for the |
in Jackson county by abus-
ing other parties, "a policy which charac-
terizes the ticket prohibitionists) you
have strange reversion of human nature
to deal with.
Suppose the prohibition party is the
The Jackson standard. [volume] (Jackson C.H., Ohio) 1847-1888, 1883-07-19

only party in the state which has declared
in favor of the second amendment. If
there are not 100000 more men in the
other parties that will vote for the second
proposition than there are members of
the prohibition party in Ohio, it will not
carry
We depend upon the temperance senti-
ment outside the prohibition party for
success, and we can't afford indiscrimi-
nate war on these parties. If the amend
ment carries, then my brother, you may
glory in your plank to the end, but the
present policy of political war is mis-
take-if may presume to say so.
If your statement of my part in the
Gallia county convention was culled
from anything said, you have most un-
happily misunderstood me. If your in
formation comes from Gallia county, L
warn you as lover of truth that you
are imposed upon. If 1 was out of en-
ployment 1 might spend half my time at
least in correcting falsehoods; but have
learned that no man can trench on poll
tics without exciting preiudices, and of
necessity run the risk of mud; and in
this instance prohibitio1a mad, which is
no better than the kind you name.
1 presume that most of the prohibi-
tionists will vote for the second PROPOSE
tion; if therefore / shall be so fortunate
as to make two votes for the amendment,
while Inadvertently 1 offend one party
prohibitionist shall have gained some
thing, and if I am willing to sacrifice for
principle, certainly prohibitionist ought
to forgive me.
l. Have you read DIR. Leonard's letter to
the State convention? Are you ignorant
of the fact that the question of mo
ticket" has been agitated by as true po-
litical prohibitionists as yourself? Are
you not aware that several counties in
the state have decided not to nominate a
ticket?
Is it treason to 0d0ise in Jackson or
Gallia what immensely stronger prohibi-
tion counties have adopteds
Is it kind to those of your party who
thus advise, to be headed off by call so
worded that most of them will stay at
home, and the rest that go will be re-
pecially if they were in the majority ?
Would they be likely to stick to the
ticket as heretofore? You advise me to
convert the two great parties, etc. Well,
it is my purpose to work in that line, but
your party obstructs the road, and If L
dare to say don't, you open letter. l
would that we were one; but if to be a
prohibitionist 1 must join party of po-
litical Ishmaelites, must beg to be called
by some other name.
Yours for the second proposition ONLY.

Temperance andth Bible.
BY LAFAYETTE JONES.

1t appears strange that we should Gnd
persons in this, the afternoon of the nine
teenth century, heirs of the lesson taught
by past experience, and witnesses of the
dark and running influence caused by
rum at the present time, for moment
entertain the idea that it is right to use
strong drink.
Most people, who have studied the
matter, agree that it is one of the great
est hindrances to the highest grade of
civilization. And the question with
them is: "What is the best method of eX-
terminating it from the land?"
But there is class of thinkers who
claim they are sanctioned, if not COM
manded, in the Bible to use strong drink.
True, some clauses in the Bible taken
and without connection, seem

Well, as we said before, instead of

that the Journal is ashamed of its

Fun Ahead!

We have been informed that a GER
tain distinguished attorney is urging
the doggery keepers to bring libel
suits against the Standard. All right.
If the doggery keepers desire to look
through the bars Of the new Jail for a
few months, by all means they should
sue us. The 10th section of the Scott
Law, now in full force, and declared
by the Supreme Court to be constitu-
tional, reads as follows:
Sec. 10. Whoever sells Intoxicating
liquors to a minor, except ON the writ
ten order of his parents, guardian, or
family physician, or to person intox-
icated or in the habit of getting in
toxicated, shall be fined not more than
one hundred nor less than twenty-five
dollars, and imprisoned not more than
thirty or less than five days.
It will be seen that the lowest pen
atty is $25, and (not orr five days in
Jail.
Now, if you give any trouble, we
will hire detectives,-men who are in
the habit Of drinking, who will
spend month, and some money, in
your ''blaces of peesness," and who
will note every illegal sale, give dates,
and the names Of parties who are pres
ent. When the Grand Jury shall
meet, these witnesses will be sub
penaed. They will never know why
their names have been sent in, or who
sent them. And you will never be
able even to guess who the detectives
have been, as they will not be wit
nesses. We have the promise Of plen-
ty Of money to pay detectives. Go
on, If YOU want fun.
