Temperance.

III this week S Issue We have Mr.. /
Benjamin's reply to our criticism on
his article last week on prohibition.
In the course of long study of the
liquor problem it has been question
with me whether the policy pursued by
these temperance reformers have not
accelerated rather than retarded the
traffic and heightened the worst features
OF the evil flowing from the saloon bus
mess Certain it is that within the
last twenty years saloons have multi
piled faster than any other business
and the accompanying evils have grown
to more gigantic proportions It was
with view to ascertaining how and
why this is SO that our criticism was di-
rscted against his article last week.
The reply of Mr.. Benjamin furnishes to
my mind cogent reasons, and shows how
unwittingly these reformers have been
playing into the hands of the saloons.
The article and reply presents the true
theory of these reformers. They are
in favor Of prohibition, and to be con-
sistent deny the right of the State to
license what they term an evil, and
stlenuocsly oppose high license for
| saloons
/ In this reply Mr.. Benjamin admits
the right of the druggist to sell for me
dicinal and mechanical purposes, and
claims that the evil comes from selling
as beverage, which he alone asks tt
prohibit. Now if we were to close III
ali the saloons in accordance with ths
position assumed by the writer, and th,
druggists are allowed to sell by th
quantity, we would have to have th
additional prohibitory amendmen
against drinking as beverage, t,
prevent those who would desire, from
obtaining the liquid, which would b
difficult to enforce. IF we admit tn
right of the State to license, regulat
and control, then it is the fault G
society that the evils flowing fror
the saloons are not eradicated Shoul
the license be commensurate with th
expense they entail upon society
there would be fewer saloons In th
community and the law enforce
against selling to minors and inebri
ates, and the doors closed agains
youths entering its portals, the basi
ness would become less obnoxiou
and many of it's evils would disap
pear. It would be less dangerous t
society than when sold by the quantit
from the drug store. Many person
who ere in the habit of using the stim,
liant would take their bitters over tn
bar instead of keeping it at the
homes and drinking it before the
children, as they would under prohi
bltion.

AdOlng IhlS Increased vote 10 tnaC
cast in 1880 gives the strength of the
Democrats in the electoral college at
III, which, with the thirty-six votes
Of New York State, would make 209
clear majority Of seven.
In this enumeration the only State
net certainly Democratic is New York,
while not included in 1t are Indiana
and Connecticut, which are quite as
likely to be Democratic as Republican.
Beyond this it would be idle for the
Democrats to look. They might carry
ali Ehe States first named, and Indiana
and Connecticut as well, but, losing
New York they would be defeated.
On the other hand, if they should make
New York the battlefield, and stake
their hope Of success on their ability to
carry it, they would, with unobjection-
cble candidates, have to retain State
already their own, and the votes of In
diana and Connecticut could be held in
Feserve to make up for any break
WHICH might occur In some less import
ant quarter. The necessity Of the
Democrats making their campaign in
New York is so plain rs to require no
labored argument TO substantiate it.
Without that State thsy cannot win,
ss the figures show. With 1t, defeat
would practically out of the question.
The pre1ense tnat Ohio can be made
Democratic State this year is idle.
Hopes based on that idea will be shat
tered. The State has never failed to
vote for Republican candidates in Pres
idential elections. It has occasionally
been carried by the Democrats in of
years, but as regularly as the quadren
nisl contests have taken place it has
returned to its allegiance. New York
