What Shall we Gain!

Those who are so clamorous about
giving up the city to tue saloons, US
if it were to bring as some great
good, are able to give very little rea-
son for such cowardly submission
to this confessed evil. What shall
we gain by repeating the city or
dinance? A few hundred dollars
annually to use for city purposes.
Does any one suppose for a mo-
ment that it will bring the city more
useful business. Will it induce
investment of more capital? Will
it induce more people to locate here :?
Instead of bringing business, it will
hamper business, by inducing idle
ness, loss of energy and application
in those who patron re the saloons.
Whatever of capital it brings will be
devoted to lines that will further in
jure and debaueh the social, moral
and intellectual interests of the place.
Whatever it brings Of people
will be of q class who are almost
unmitigated curses to any commu-
nifty that hold them. It were q WON
derful thing indeed to find q decent
man or woman, who would prefer a
q place because it had plenty of
saloons. In reality the people at
tracted TO place by the saloons
are those who are low, vicious,
and generally idle and unproft.
able TO themselves and their neigh
bors. There is absolutely nothing
to he gained to the city by repeal
of its prohibitory ordinance, except
the mean, paItry consideration of few
dollars income to ths city Treasury.
Who has ever lived in two towns,
one free from saloons the other we'll
supplied, does not know that the
presence of clearinghouse in.
creases the burden of taxation in a
little while at q fearful rate?
STATISTICS show that the prohibi-
tory laws in various places have les
sened the sales of beer alone in those
places $4,000 barrels, while in Ne
braska ul)ne. high license has in
creased the sales 1000 barrels, yet
we are told that prohibition is fail
ure and that REGULATION" (high Ii
cense) is restraining" the liquor
biz!

WE are often told that our radical
efforts against the liquor business
only injure the temperance cause.
Most assuredly. How glad the
Devil is when we fl hit him in this
way. Yet for all that, how industri-
Gus he is in spending money like
water to circumvent our radical
measures. How carefully he selects
his ab'est servants and places them
in the halls and Hobbies of the State
and National legislatures, to prevent
our radical movements there. Oh,
yes; we are helping them and they
know ito destruction, these help
ers of the Great American Prince of
Devils. Let US go on hurting the
temperance cause in just this way.
Let us help him in Montesano, and
injure ourselves by insisting on pro-
hibitior.

Curing the Drink Evil.


A Christian civilization has it's
laws OF development as other things.
Experience and observation convince
men that certain things are good,
and they set about securing them,
and when large number of men
have reached the same conviction,
they are driven to concert of action
to secure the desired object. SO
also the experience Of ages develops
the fact that certain supposed good
things are evil, and the same result
follows, NEIL combine to destroy the
evil.
Among the most stupendous evils
ever welcomed into human society.
one most notable is that OF the alco-
holic driuk-habit. Among the mil
lions OF America to-day comparatively
few deny the fact that men as indi-
viduals, and society as a mass, were
! better OF if the habit were totally
done away with, except 50 far as al
cohol might be taken as an an.idote
to actual disease, and even that ex-
ception is fading away. For this
reason We find millions of people
agreed that some way to stay the
tide Of intemperance is necessary.
This conviction has long been deep
and wide spread, and all manner of
means have been devised to regulate,
punish and restrain the evil by law,
and to eradicate it by moral, social,
and intellectual influences. BY slow
and painful steps through an ocean
of woes, miseries, crimes and hor.
rors. tho thoughtful, philanthropic
minds Of reformers have reached as
conclusions:
First, That the habit, once thor
ouehly fixed, is the most intolerable
and unyielding of any in Christen-
dom.
SecoLd, That to redeem society
from its power, the temptations to
form the habit must as far as posi-
BILE he removed.
Third, That the one. ll.powerful
temptation is that known as the re-
tail or saloon establishment.
Fourth, That to reacll the evil it
is absolutely necessary to limit and
restrain the business of these places
within some bounds.
Upon these conclusions long and
bitter fight has been waged on the
license, limitation and civil damage
lines, and up to this point the convic.
tions of vast majority of the people
have followed a host of leaders. But
again experience has taught the OBJ
servant that the only poss BILE cure
for the curse of incompetence is the
absolute prohibition of the entire
drink selling and furnishing bust
ness, and it is on this ground tie
advanced hosts are marshaling their
forces. The experiment of local op-
ton proved beyond all possibility of
doubt that communities that were
determined in their action to pro.
hibit could in this way protect them.
selves largely from the accursed re-
suits of tie drink habit, in spite of
the fact they had to contend with
the evil among neishboring CON-
munities; and wherever this piece
meal prohibition was pressed faith
fully, it demonstrated in a marked
degree the advantages OF prohibition
in the peace, sobriety, industry and
morality which reigned as result.
What we need is total prohibition
throughout tae land, but next best
is local option, and let it be rigidly
enforced as an entering wedge, to
open the way for State and national
prohibition of the traffic.

Another Bank Failure.

Another addition has been made to
the already long list of bank failures,
which have formed such an important
part of the history of southwestern Wis
consin during the last few months. On
Saturday, the 10Th inst, HeEry's bank
at Mineral Point, Iowa county, was
found with blinds down and doors pla-
carded, having made an assignment
since closing the night before. Nh. j.
II. Gundry, of that city, is assignee.
The nominal assets are placed at
100000, and the. liabilities cannot be
determined for some time yet, but are
variously estimated at from $685. 900 to
$4,000, and it is believed consist
mostly of foreign claims and public
funds. The bank was established in
1861 by VIM, I. Henry, who died in
1888, and has always been considered
solid institution. MI. Henry has carried
on the business for twenty years and
when he died he left his entire estate
and business to his wife, Mrs. Emma
Henry, who has since carried it on I'M
der the above name. 1t appears that
during the last week more currency was
needed to meet the current demands.
when it was discovered that the assets
were not available until they had regu-
larry passed through the Probate Court.
In the absence of sny statement from
the assignee, the assets were placed at
