1t is q startling comment upon
the progress Of evil influence yher
men under the blaze OF civilization
will volunteer their services to de
fend snd uphold the most degrading
and damning evil the world has
ever known. The man who has the
hardihood to champion the liquor
traffic, occupies an advanced posi-
ton in the outer darkness that
overhangs with doom the final
abode Of the original inventor ol
human woe, whose world-w wide rcpu.
tation as the despoiler of human
joy, only approximates the enormity
of the evil work, the forces In the ac-
complishment Of which, was set in
motion by him.
Men have amassed fortunes in the
traffic, have wrecked their own
hopes and that of others, have
wrung from the defenceless hand
the last penny without a pang or
twinge of regret, have deliberately
taken the last prop from under the
characters of men, have destroyed the
peace and the harmony Of thousands
of homes with fiendish delight, have
consciously assisted in blasting the
fair name and homes Of men and
women by the hundreds, and have
gone down TO their graves at last
themselves, condemned without a
word of defence ever escaping their
lips, to say nothing Of the advocacy
of their fiendish work. Now we
undertake to cay that the liquor
trade ruins more men, degrades
and beggars more women, and chill
dren, causes more men to act dis,
honestly, ls the cause Of more assas-
sinations, drives more people to the
mad house, causes more women to
lose their virtue, more mothers to
die of grief over drunken sons.
covers more families with burning
shame of social ostracism, yokes
more men together with the CALLING
bond of criminal associations, costs
the tax payers more money than
any beneficent public enterprise
all this and a Thousand fold more
than has ever been said or written
and we unhesitatingly say that
man who can champion such a
work has giant stomach fo'
enormities.-KosciuskO Star.

Hon. II. d. Money at vicksburg

The Vicksburg Commercial Her
aid thus alludes TO the recent visit
of Hon. H. D. Money to the Hill
City:
The Hon. Mr.. Money made his
first appearance before Vicksbcrg
audience, and we venture to say
that no "first appearance" was ever
a more brilliant and complete suc-
cess. In the opening sentences OF
his speech he took bodily posses
sion of his listeners, and held them
in willing thraldom for one hour
and a half. Full Of information,
modest and frank in his manner
and utterances, few men possess his
power of holding an audience and
welding it at will. The fullness OF
his Information, his familiarity
with facts and the history of the
government and Of political parties,
make of Mr.. Money a most fOrmida'
BILE debater in the halls Of Congress
or on the rostrum, and fortified as
he Is at all points, his pleasing
manner, his easy flow Of language
his humor, and his frequent, un.
premeditated bursts of manly elo'
quence, captivate his audience al
once and hold them willing prison.
ers. After speaking for an hour
and Q half Thursday night, his de
lighted audience clamored fol
more" and would have listened te
him until the herald of the sun, the
gray dawn which betokens the com
ing morn, dappled the eastern hori
zOu.
We have only to say that when
ever Mr.. Money desires to make
rousing Democratic speech, and de
sires . rousing and sppreciatlve an
dience to hear him, he need only
come to yicksbnrg where he vii
meet cordial welcome

question be obtruded into the Ma
tional campaign which belongs pro-
perly to the domain Of State politics.
Certain advocates of Prohibition
and certain opponents of Prohibi-
tion are each seeking to drag ltheis-
sue into the National canvass and
thus tending to exclude from popu-
lar consideration questions which
press for National decision. If
there be any question that belongs
solely to the police powers Of the
State it is the control Of the liquor
traffic and wise men will not neglect
the National issues in a year Of Ma
tional contest. Judicious friends of
the protective tariff which is the
practical issue of the campaign will
not direct their attention to Prohi-
bition, which is not practical ques-
tion in the campaign.
In not committing himself by his
vote to either side Of the question,
Mr.. Blaine displayed great sagaci-
ty and failed to do exactly what
his political opponents would have
had him do,-as in case Of bis hav-
ing voted for the amendment, it
would have placed a club in the
hand of the whisky advocates
however irrelevant the question may
be to the National contest-and if
against it, his action would have
been pointed to again and again to
array against him the Prohibition
element in the doubtful Western
States. But aside from what may
have been Mr.. Blaine's action in the
matter, or the motive controlling 1t,
we wish to say that we regard his
view of the question in its relation
to National politics as the correct
one; and to still further say that he
has thus furnished an excellent rea-
son why no Prohibition Democrat
need let his sentiments on this ques-
tion interfere with his support of
Mr.. Cleveland and the policy of
governmental reform of which he
is the chosen representative. What
ever may be the record of the Dem
ocratic party on the question of
Prohibition within the various
States, we regard it as irrelevant to
the National campaign, and no Pro-
hibitionist should consider himself
debarred thereby from supporting
the National Democratic ticket.
Mr.. Randall, if we mistake not,
holds to the same views as Mr..
Blaine, and also favors the repeal OF
the Internal Revenue tax on liquors
by the General Government and the
relegation OF the entire question of
taxation and control to each indi-
vidual State. If such a policy
should prove insufficient, it will
then be time enough to make Of it
National issue and invoke the
aid of the General Government.
Besides, with constitutional Prohi-
bition secured in a far greater
number of States than at present,
there would be much better chances
of securing the cooperation of the
General Government. Prohibition
lists must build from the foundation.
