Poor Bears

Mr.. EDIToR:-Don't you think that it is
shame that the great, big, over-grown
Prohibitionists should have gone to work
and caused the defeat of the poor, dear,
little Republicans as they have? One
would think that, when they see the grand
old party writing and groaning under
the blow they have dealt they would feel
such compassion as would actuate them to
give up the fight for the foolish CD cause.
But, then, the Reps. have the consolation
of knowing that it will not occur again for
a long. long time; for we heard one of them
say that temperance was dead forten years.
WE'LL if it is dead, it is the liveliest little
corpse we have seen for some time. How
ever, thank God, we do not ask the Repub-
lican party to bury us in their corrupted,
steneh-filled sepulchre.
We do think that the conduct of the
Reps, since their defeat on the 4th inst, is
anything but complimentary to their party.
In fact, their actions resemble those of a
lot of spoiled, disappointed, overgrown
babies more than anything else we can
think of. That other 'black, crime-dyed
crowd" the Democratic party, upon whom
they have heretofore delighted to vent their
spleen, have never, since the election of the
martyr Lincoln, (for the war was not a
petty or childish matter acted as silly and
contemptibly over defeat as have the
Reps since the glorious 4th day of Novem-
ber 1884, when nearly 200, 900 Americans
had the Christianity and manliness to de-
clare their independent right to vote as
they pleased at the ballot-box, and, by
dealing the Republican party blow from
which it yet shakes and tremblos like an
aspen, showed the world at large that
Ex-Governor St. John and the Prohibition
party are not such myths as they are
cracked up to be.
Our first impression on seeing Mr.. st.
John, a man who is not reputed to be either
fornicator or liar, (Which regulations
are respectively those of the Demo cratic
and Republican candidates) hung in effigy,
was that it was the work of some plebian
and contemplate trough of the party;
but, when we remember that one member of
the cloth, in an anti-St John speech, de-
nounccd us as ''cranks," and that another
of them has made the assertion that St.
John men ought to be hung, we draw the
conclusion that even representative Reps.
might stoop to mean and little actions.
But let them go on; they are their own
worst enpTaipc and our host friends IF
they will hang few more of their own
likencsses in public places and label them
st. John, and in other ways act as great,
silly baboons we will strike them such a
power. A FORMER REPUBLICAN.

The Republican party has always CLAIM


The Republican party has always claim
ed to be the party of free speech and free
ballot. Some of its earlier adherents
knew what it was to fight for these privi-
leges; to endure political intolerance and
ostracism. The party has also claimed to
be the party of moral ideas, and i'll past
years has indicated its claim to the dis
tnction. But when we now find the party
press and the party politicians engaged in
villifying and stigmatizing the Prohibi-
tiOnists as fanatics and fools, and hanging
and burning in efiigy the representative Of
body of men who are trying honestly in
their own way to advance moral cause,
what are we to think? Has the party
changed or have moral ideas and the rights
of mankind become suddenly worthless {?
The MONITOR looks with sorrow upon the
exhibition of party spleen which has
filled the organs of late, directed against
the Prohibitionists We find in our own
neighborhood a body of men with whom
we have been in the habit of meeting daily,
transacting business and exchanging cour-
tesies with them and always find them, as
men go, honest, upright and courteous,
fully up to the average of mankind in fact.
They have their views upon the temper
ance question. They think a certain course
politically will forward their objects. They
organize, formulate their opinions into
platform and seek to give expression to
their wishes at the ballot-box, when 10 .
they are suddenly transformed into fools,
fanatics and knaves, and the abuse with
which they are asSailed would lead them
to think that they were mistaken in sup
posing that the ballot was intended as an
expression of individual opinion and be-
lief but that it was rather means to be
used for the sole end of keeping the Re
publicans in power. The sorrow of the
MONITOR is not so much for the Prohibi-
tionists; they will take care Of themselves
and are not crying to go home; but it is
that the members of great party that has
accomplished so much in the past should
so far forget those first principles of com
mon justice and equity which lie at the
foundation of that party's organization, as
to indulge in such wholesale denunciation
We are inclined to believe that the Re
publcans who manifest such an illiberal
and bigoted spirit are not of the original
stock, but hangers-on and parasites of the
organization, whose sole end and aim is
share of the sp0ils. who have been attracted
to the party by its past success, and at the

From all parts of the country the organs
are grinding out the dreadful news that
prominent Republicans formerly identified
with temperance work and active in the
cause are Withdrawing their support be-
cause the Prohibitionsts voted for St.
John and, as they claim, defeated the Re
publican candidate, and wlll hereafter vote
for free rum and general license. Thisis the
sheerest rot. The temperance cause is a
good one or it is bad one. If good, it re-
mains the duty of ali who claim to be tenn
perance men to support it, wherever it lies
in their power, regardless of what any
other man or set Of men may do. 1t be-
gins to look as if with these men temper
ance was good thing only SO long as it
conduced to the success of their party.

to hold grand demonstration III honor OF
the election Of Cleveland and Hendricks.
1t strikes us that about the most sensible
way to celebrate the event would be for
each man. Democrat, Republican, Prohi-
bitionist. Nationalist, and all to accept the
situation quietly and gracefully and go
about his business and endeavor to do his
duty as good citizen. These aftcr-elec-
ton rackets by which no votes are to be
gained, and which are calculated to stir up
partisan feeling more deeply, can serve no
good purpose. 1t will probably give more
than one man an excuse for filling himself
with rum and when he wakes up next
morning (if he goes to bed at alp with a
swelled head. he will be ready to wish
Cleveland hadn been elected. All the torch
lights and music, the shouting and march
ing, the rum-drinlking and racketing, will
not fix Cleveland more firmly in his seat or
more eflectually defeat the other candidates,
and, when it is all over about the only ones
that can figure up any profit out of the
affair will be the puryeyors of bad whiskey
and other destructive drinks.

The extent and value Of the metallic

doubt whether our gold and silver yield

1t would not require very rich ore to
make us the masters Of the tin trade Of
the world if the manufacturing processes
were conducted with proper skill, for
the ores of more distant points contain a
very small percentage of metal, and the
Cornish mines Of England have at times
in late years been improbable, partly
because of the low grade of the ore. but
also because the workings are now half
mile beneath the surface, thus making
the work of production extremely ex-
pensive. 1t is known that tin exists in
large quantities in Central Asia, but un-
til railroads and civilization replace
caravans and semi savage races in that

likely to reach western markets.

Pioneer Press Special: Northwestern
directors Yesterday listened to the re-
/ port of committee on the subject ofthe
! % lrchase Of the Blair leased lines. The
committee WAS empowered to continue
in work and effect an arrangement MS
speedily az possible. The Northwestern
will, if the negotiations are successful,
| substitute its own bonds for those of the
| road purchased The amount of North
western stock to be issued will be be-
tween $l4,0O0,OO0 and $4,000, 900, which
varies but little from the aggregate
amount of stock now outstanding on the
lines To he absorbed. The whole matter
however, will have to he submitted tn
the Stockholders, and it NAV be several
| months before the transfer is concluded.
An erroneous impression has gained
ground that the proposed absorption
meant that the issue of stock to be made
| "n that account was to ne marketed, In
stead of simply an exchange OF one
security for another. If the Northwest
crn succeeds in this deal 1t will get pos
session of about 900 miles Of railroad
and also the Blair bridge over he Mis-
souri. Last year the rentals reached
the sum of Sl,570,94S. The directors
, calculate that an absorption will be fol
lowed bv a saving Of between Sl50,000
and $500 600 the first year in the matter
Of rentals alone, and that in addition 20
this large gain will be made by the
substitution of bonds of the Nor'h~est-
crn company bearing 10" rates of inter.
est for the bonds of the company as they
mature.
