1should have thought that soldier OF two
wars would nave received more consideration
In a Democratic Convention than i have re.
celred In this convention today General
Manson In ths Democratic Convention Of Indiana
General Manson received about one-ffth
of over 1000 votes cast, and, of course, was
badly beaten by a renegade Republican
Isaac P. Gray. General Manson was in the
wrong chop to receive any consideration on
account of his soldierly qualities. 1t is
true they nominated him for Lieutenant-
Governor afterward, but they threw him
the favor as they would throw bone to
dog-and because they thought that with
him they could catch few soldier votes
that otherwise would get away from them.
On tho whole, however. we think it is
just right that Manson should be treated
just as he has been. He has no business
in the Democratic party anyhow, and, If
they keep on kicking him, perhaps he will
after awhile realize what a blunder he
made when he cast in his fortunes with the
anti-UnioD, anti-American Democracy.

MANY people in New York, who know
the Harpers well, say that the cause of tho
opposition to Blaine of Harper's Weekly is
not far to seek. These people say that the
Harpers are egotistic even to the point of
Stiffness in all matters concerning their
business, and that Mr.. Blaine mortally
offended them when he contracted with o
rival house to publish his book. This is
rather small business for so great house as
the Harpers claim to be, but great men
excel in their littleness as much as they do
in their bigness sometimes.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York
Times derides the figuring of the Tribune In
regard to the probable electoral vote of Mr..
Blaine, and refers to the Tri0me's figuring
for Greeley as evidence of its fallibility.
This scornful brother forgets that the
Tribune was then figuring on the Demo-
cratic side, and that side would falsify the
predictions ofthe prophet Isaiah. Now it
it is on the right side, and its predictions
will come out right to the dot 1t depends
great deal on which side you arc cipher

JOHN KELLY, speaking through his
paper, the New York Star, disposes of FIVE
ambitious statesmen, each one of whom
would like to be the Democratic nominee
for President. He first disposes of Cleye-
land and Flower by asking this question:
Can any New Yorker carry It, now that TIL
den is out OF the racer

and Payne thus

none under whom We would more gladly see

Senator Payne has already positively de-
clined 10 be a candidate; yet, even II he had
not done so, the star would earnestly depre.
cate the nomination OF any Ohio Democrat at
Chicago.
Continuing, Mr.. Kelly says:
From the present outlook We infor that Ohio,
which is q Republican State, Will be carried
for Mr.. Blaine. Tho probabilities all point
that way, and 1t would be fatuously impoliuc
on the part OF the Democracy 10 risk ali their
chances Of success on the Issue OF the October
election In that single State.
In view Of the fact that no Democrat can
hope to carry New York who has not and
will not have Mr.. Kelly's hearty support,
these nttexalIfes are very significant

Father and Daughter, Yet Man and Wife

Eighteen years ago, says an Albany
dispatch to the New York World, the
son of wealthy farmer of Schoharie
county eloped with fifteen-year-old
girl and settled in Esperance, Iowa.
They lived there several years. In the
first year of marriage daughter
was born 10 them. The young
wife soon wearied of her husband,
and taking her child with her eloped
with drummer. She lived with him
at Chicago and her husband could
find no trace of her. The daughter
was unklndly treated by the man, and
being high-spirited she fled from home
at the age of fourteen. On The train
she met gentleman who discovered
her situation aud placed her
In the home OF re-
spectacle family. The gentle
man was much Older than the girl,
but their friendship soon ripened into
love. When the girl became seven
teen years ofage the two were married
and moved TO Schoharle county, the
former home of the bridegroom.
Tney soon became the happy parents
of a little girl, aud We're living bliss
fully on a farm near Schenectady.
Meanwhile the young wife's moth
er's lover had died, leaving his victim
unprovlded for. She learned that her
daughter had married and settled In
Sohoharie county, and she resolved to
seek her out and make Her home with
her. When she arrived on the scene
what was her horror to find her for
mer husband and daughter living
innocently. together as man land wife!
Realizing the wrong she had done,
she Immediately returned to Schenec-
tady and took the first train for the
West. The husband and wife, or
father and daughter, are almost
frantic. They realize that their pres
emit relations must be broken and that
their child Is living monument to
their Innocent crime. The names OF
the parties are concealed for obvious

LONDON, Oct. 26.-The motion of
Lord Dunraven for the appointment
of a joint commission of lords and

ANTI-PRoHIBITaoN.
Crime Older Than Whisky-ShOnld the
Many Suffer for the Few!


For the Gazette
The article signed abilene under
the caption Prohibition, ;" in THE GA
zETrE of October o, deserves a passing
notice. will take the first sentence
in the article, 1.-The use of whisky is
the parent of crime.n Now
II by the "use of whisky" the writer
means the use of whisky as a common
beverage, deny the truth of his as
sertion. All history proves that the
world was full OF crime many thou
sands OF years before whisky was in
vented or known. Abilene evidently
desires to be thought u Christian. Let
him read the latter part of the first
chapter of Romans, and he
will there find an inven-
tory of crime common at that time
the world over, the very reading of
which shocks the moral sense, and
then let him remember that the epis-
tie To the Romans is older than whisky
by mt least fifteen hundred years.
l merely call attention to the above TO
show the reckless manner in which
these fanatical reformers falsify the
truth of history. II is unfortunate for
the cause of temperance, good
cause, that In these days 1t has fallen
into the hands of mon who seem to
have more tenderness than truth, and
OF women who have more gush than
goodness.
If Abilene intends the above asser-
ton to relate 20 the present day, It Is
not true as u general proposition. Let
any candid and falr-minded man sit
down and honestly eliminate from the
catalogue of crime here In Texas, hom-
icides for instance, all the murders
having their origin in jealousy, do
nestle infeliclty, old family
and neighborhood feuds, high
way robbery, stage robberies
and train robberiesRnd great number
Of other causes OF murder, all under
circumstances which preclude the very
idea OF the use of intoxicating liquor,
there would be a very small proper
tion OF murders left to set over to the
account Of whisky. And so with every
other species Of felony. II you go to
the penitentiary or into a gang OF con-
vlcts on the public works and ask
there, to a man they will tell YOU
whisky did 1t. Here ia where Pro-
hibition and temperance cranks get
their information. Their only evil
dence is the statements OF thieves and
murderers, whose statements would
not he taken In court, even under
oath. Would any body but n fool ex-
pect them to tell the truth In such a
oase2 This is the only way by which
Abilene could prove that whisky Ia at
the bottom OF seven-tenths of the crime
committed. The police reports OF our
towns and cities will doubtless show
that many petty oflenses have their
origin in whisky. Nor will II be
denied that whisky has reduced many
a good man and many noble family
from aiiiuence and honor 10 poverty
and degradation. Such instances, how
ever, are rare when compared with the
millions who are not 80 reduced, al

though they use intoxicating bever-
ages. Prohibition proposes to punish
the millions who use the good
creatures of God temperately and
nationally, on account of the rare
individual instances, comparatively,
of those who make beasts of them
selves. | say punish, because every
abridgement of and restriction upon
the natural liberty OF the citizen is a
punishment. This objection to prohi-
bition, that Is that 1t proposes to pun
ish the innocent for the guilty, never
has been ana never will be success
fully answered. III drunkenness is a
crime, and who will say that 1t is not,
then punish the drunkard. But, in
the name of justice, OF common sense
and Of human liberty, do not punish
the innocent for the guilty.
find no fault with Abilene for the
seeming arrogance of assuming that
the prohibition men and women of the
state are the best men and women Of
the state They are as good, no doubt,
as cranks generally are. But / think
l have known, and know now, both
men and women in Texas who drink
wine and such driuks, including tod
dy, when they think they need it,,
whose shoe-strings no prohibition man
or woman have ever seen, is worthy
to unloose.
Prohibition is poor quack remedy,
which the believers in legislative cure
alls think more efIectual than rational
and natural methods, 1t is like the
endeavor to cure bad cough by gag
ging the patients mouth and plugging
his nose; or like the dentist VINO cured
poor fellows toOthache by cutting
his head off. BIBERTAs.
