| cause of them"
We are not so great man as Joshua.
We are sorry for it, but such is the fact.
Joshua succeeded in cleaning out" the
Amorites, and the Hittites, and the Peril
zites, and the Jebusi,es, and all the rest
of them. We are only fighting the whis-
kyites, and the swillites and the limberg-
critics, and the stinkites, and the bloatites,
and the rest. Yet we rejoice that we
possess the quality enjoined upon Joshua
in the text above; we are not afraid be-
cause Of them. We hold that doggery-
keeping is a crime, and the doggery-
keeper a criminal, in the sight of God.
We hold that the whole drift of his busi-
ness is toward crime. We see new proofs
of this, daily, as we go on through life.
Say anything to offend the dignity of the
miserable, bloated, sinking tubs who
make living by stealing mems senses,
and worse than stealing their money
aye, in most cases actually stealing their
lives, and they will at once threaten you
with personal violence, the only argu-
ment known to the grog-shop. where

money, and then kick him out
Last week the Standard made few
remarks about some of the Jackson dog
geries. Shortly after the issue of the
paper, several of the Devils Agents got
together, when one of them-who very
much resembles rotten pumpkin with
pair of carrots stuck in for legs, and an
onion for head, was overheard to ex-
claim: 'I will make dot Mackley schmart
fur dotv'
Yes, you will make US smart; you have
already made us smart; you have made
every respectable man in the community
smart by your perfectly hellish conduct.
You have lured better men than yourself
on from good to bad-from bad to worse,
and from worse to total ruin; you have
turned homes into mad-houses; you have
robbed children of the necessaries of life;
and, you miserable dog, should you ever
be stricken with decent idea, and try to
repent, you will be compelled to approach
the Bar of Judgment over route paved
with broken hearts; and, as we have no
record to the effect that there are any
glue factories or fertilizing companies in
that blessed country called Paradise,
what do you suppose they would want
with such sinking mass of corruption
as you in. that country of the saints. Oh,
you are asweet specimen to try to make
us smart. We are sharp-sharp after
you, and we propose to keep right along
your trail We will "stay with you,"
in this fight. The same God who
shielded Joshua from the Hittites, will
shield us from the lagerites, and the
rumites. We are not afraid because of
them. Why, we know these fellows like
a book. The miserable, filthy, horrible den
kept by every one of these fellows has
been positive, terrible injury to this
community ever since it started. How
do these fellows make their money?
Simply by making men drunk. Is that
benefit to the community? Bring man
up before the Courts, charged with hor-
rible crime, and in almost every case you
may trace the cause of his crime directly
into the doggeries. This community has
wasted thousands upon thousands of dol
lars for the privilege of keeping these
hell-holes in our midst. They are curse
to the community. Let the people vote
for the second proposition, and instead of
strutting around in pea-jackets and slip
pers, these bloats will go to work, and be-
come, possibly, good citizens, and instead
of going about with sneaking, criminal
look upon their bloated faces, they may in
time look and act more like men, EheSe
doggeries are curse to this community.
