being damp and the city on tongue Of land
where the Rhone and Saone met he ventured
to think that freedom from epidemic was proba-

TO the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
Will you permit one who has looked from a
distance upon the temperance workers of your
State with great interest to occupy very brief
space in your Journal Two years ago it was my
pleasure to make number of speeches during
the campaign in Indiana, in favor Of candidates
for the Legislature who would vote for the sub
mission of the prohibition question to the peo-
pie. During that campaign was frequently in
conversation with the manager of the third
party movement, Mr.. Shiel, and, also, with his
lieutenant. Mr. Benson
In that campaign am free to say that be-
heve both of these gentlemen were honest in
their work. Their recent action, however
brings to my mind very forcibly how intensely
partisan they then were, and standing, as I
claim do, on as advanced ground for temper
ance as anybody, am convinced that the pres
ent action of these gentlemen and their allies,
is, so far as temperance goes, spurious and rot
