Once on a time great Leader chose out
twelve men to makea accommodating expedi-
ton into the enemy's country. They made
an extended tour of 40 days and returned
bringing before the great Leader and the
host, many samples of the various products
of that goodly land. And they proceeded
to make their report, to the effect that it
WAS a goodly land, and much to be desired.
But the people were warlike, their cities
were walled and their towns fortified, and
twas hopeless task to think of conquer
ing or subduing the land. And all the
people murmured against God and their
great Leader. Thus ten of them gave evil
report, because they hearts were timid and
their report caused the heart of the people
to faint But there were among the
twelve, two who had faith in God and
their Leader-impracticab fanatics,
cranks. the fearful called them-and they
sought to impart courage to the people
saying. 1--WE are able to overcome the land;
if the Lord delight in us he will bring us
into this land" But thepeople were afraid,
and the result was that every soul of them
from twenty years old and upward perished
because of their fear of the enemies of the
Lord, excepting these two fanatics that
dared to believe that with the Lord on
their side, they were in a majority. We
found this story in all old book, wherein
are many quaint accounts of valiant things
brought to pass by a small minority because
their-influence We commend this book
and the courageous principles it teaches to
those of our readers who are afraid to do
right until majority are agreed as touch
ing how and when to do battle against
wrong.-Cal Prohtbiti0ntst.

DUAL RESPONSIBILITY.

Mrs. Annie Wittenmyer, i'll recent po-
litical letter published in the New York
Tribune writes: Il believe in the prohibition
of the liquor traffic but do not think the
question can be handled as national ques-
ton" She adds: ITO run Presidential
candidate and try to secure an amendment
to the national Constitution is like trying
to put roof on a house before the foun-
dation is laid or the walls are up
We invite the attention of our friend Mrs.
Wittcnmyer to the important fact that the
liquor traffic, as it exists in the District of
Notwithstanding over eleven hundred
liquor saloons therein at the present time;
in the several Territories, represented by
upwards of four Thousand liquor dealers
wholesale and retail and i'll sundry dock
yards, forts and arsenals, is i'll nowise
State question, is quite beyond the do
main Of State prohibitory legislative action.
Thus also is it with the national liquor
revenue legislation and the importation of
Intoxicating liquors from foreign countries.

the connection in which it is used. In
every State the prohibitory Legislative house
may be completed. foundation walls and
roof and yet the liquor-trafic remains quite
untouched in the separate sphere of ma
tioral jurisdiction Ours is dual citizen
ship, and carries with il for all citizens a
dual responsibility. If the liquor-traftic is
ever dealt with legslatvely at all in the
spere of national jurisdiction, it can be only
as national question" The exigency
of no political party, however great and
important it may be- should be allowed to
blind our vision in this respect Our ma
tional and state governmental superstruc-
lures coexst. Each imposes obligation,
and responsibilities upon citizens Neither

Next Tuesday will witness the spectacle
oft repeated OF a nation of Sovereigns max
ing manifest their will at the ballot box.
The act of voting is little thing, but theo
retically it represents great deal. 1t is
supposed to be the climax Of mature de-
Liberation in the mind of the voter, a
careful consideration Of the issues involved
in the contest. and an honest selection Of
the candidates best fitted, in the Judgment
of the voter. to advance the ma
terial interests of the County, State
or Nation. Practically we suppose in
many cases the act of voting represents
nothing of the sort. With one man it re-
presents the fact that his father voted with
the same party before him; with another,
that he was brought up among men who
this or that side offered him the most
money; and with another that this way lies
his bread and butter and so on with any
number of others. 1t is a pity that the
vote of the thoughtful, earnest patriot
should be neutralized by that of the care
less or ignorant partisan, but that is a
feature ofour Republican system which can
not well be avoided The remedy lies in
so educating the rising generation in their
political duties that the thoughtful and
earnest patriots shall be in the majority.

The CHrtsttdH Unt0n says: Those who
think the worst thing that can befall the
country is the return of the Democratic
party to power will vote for Mr.. Blaine
even under protest. Those who think the
worst thing that can befall the country is
the retention Of the Republican party, will
vote for Mr. Cleveland even under protest
We share neither opinion. We think the
worst thing that can befall the country is
the perpetuation of political parties with
neither political principles nor political lead
ership; and we counsel all those who are of
our way of thinking to east their vote for
neither Blaine no. Cleveland. There is,
happily, an alternative. The Prohibition
party presents candidate against whose
personal character, even in this heated cam
paign, no accuser has uttered reproach.
1t presents a platform not very broad, and,
in our Judgment, not very wise, but one
that is clear, explicit and courageous. The
party which supports Governor ST. John is
a party of earnest moral convictions. 1t is
the only party which can hold a meeting
Sunday night in church without being
guilty of an anomaly. a vote for this par
ty is not thrown away. For the larger the
vote the stronger will be the recognized
protest against the methods and principles
which have prevailed in the two great po-
litical camps now arrayed against each 9TH
er and the greater the hope of new party
in the near future, which shall have both
wisdom and courage to deal with the ques-
tions of to-day and tomorrow. The seed
that is hidden in the planting is not lost.
A vote for st. John is a seed hidden only to
germinate and bear fruit in the future.

Michael Killbridge was taken to Salem
Jail on Monday, handcuffed between two
officers. This is all right. The man who
violates the law. disturbs the public peace,
and assaults the officers whose duty it is to
preserve the peace must expect to be severe
ly handled. On the surface the thing is
nothing more than case of cause and eff
feet But down below the surface there
are other questions which will crop out to
puzzle the inquiring mind. This case,
like ninety-nine per cent of the cases
brought before the Mayor. is the direct re-
suit of the rum business in our midst
Somebody sold Michael rum and this must
have been. (for Michael is no stranger here)
with full knowledge of its probable effect
on him. The effect follows: he must sui
fer the consequences But what about the
other fellow-the man who sold him the
rum? We heard bystander remark as
the prisoner was being loaded up, that
the party would not be complete unless the
one who furnished him the liquor was
sent along with him. How does it strike
you, reader The law feeds the flame
with one hand, by throwing around the
rum business the mantle of legal protec-
tion and respectability and seeks to
quench it with the other hand by inflcting
severe punishment upon the poor devil who
happens to fall victim to the traffic. OF
course some one will say Michael ought to
let the liquor alone. Well that is another
one of the questions that plague us. There
are a good many men, smart, able, respect
able, well-connected and well-to-dO who
ought to let liquor alone and are free to
confess it themselves, but somehow they
don't. 1t gets the better of them contin-
ually and sometime will kill them. There
seems to be something in the moral or
physical nature of some men, which makes
it an impossibility for them to refrain. We
say seems, because the question as to
whether the drink habit is disease or "a
vice is an open one. We wonder which
would be best; to abolish the rum business
and thereby remove t, ,mptation from the
path OF These men, or 10 protect the IeW
who grow rich on the weakness of their
fellows and let the many weak ones take
their chances? We said, we wonder
which would be best but we take that
back. We don't wonder or question, but
are sare that the rum business should be
wiped out and this one of the many snares
that beset pooEhuman nature removed as
far as it is in the power of law to do it.
How does it strike you, reader?

Another suicide through drink has re-
Gently been added to the awful record,
which speaks with tremendous emphasis
against the drinking habits of society and
the decentralization of club life. We refer
to the case of Mr.. Isaac Newton, the fa-
nous Chief Engineer of the Croton Water
Department in New York, of whom the
Inter- ocean says: The deceased was the
favorite pupil of John Ericsson, that sturdy
inventor who has given to the world so
much power and utility. He managed the
engines of Ericsson's Monitor in her
famous fight with the Merrimac. Three
times during the battle he was carried out
of the engine-room in a faint superinduced
by the close atmosphere, and was ignorant
ofthe progress ofthe fight until he learned of
the victory. Again during the war, as
assistant engineer of trigate, he dis
tinguished himself by unusual bravery in
the face of fire by stationing himself in
the gangway and threatening to brain any
man who attempted to abandon the ship.
For this act he was publicly thanked by
the Secretary of War. Thus this man, one
of the first to venture into what was then
termed a floating iron coffin, and direct
it's movement in one of the fiercest naval
engagements on record; this man who
faced gang of desperate deserters, taking
his life i'll his hand, and who was the recip-
lent Of public thanks from the head of the
navy for heroic conduct, finally succumbs
to the effect of the prison that steals away
the brains and takes his own life rather
than face the remaining responsibilities of
life. '-Er. Messenger.
