Intoxicating liquors in the United States,
| each of whom pays our government $50, in
consideration of which sum they are per-
mitted to carry on their business for term
of twelve months. When We add to this
the amount paid by distillers, brewers and
wholesale dealers, We find that the interest
of the government in the manufacture and
sale of intoxicating liquors is about $50
600 900 annually.
This traffic, sanctioned as it is by the
laws of our country, costs the people, at
low estimate, 1000, 000 900 year, not to
speak of the destroyed homes, debauched
manhood. poverty, heartache, crime and
corruption it produces. This disgraceful
business should be suppressed, and the
enormous sum of money that under the
present system. is worse than thrown away,
saved to the people and thus a protection
would be given to the industries of this
country that would enable us successfully
to throw our doors open wide to the com
petition of the world.
The Republican and Democratic parties
favor the continuance of the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors as bever-
age, while the Prohibition party demands
that the same shall be forever suppressed.
Thus an issue is presented to the people i'll
which is involved the protection of every
home III the land. 1t is not a mere local
issue either, but it is national as well as
practical question, upon which large
and respectable body of citizens-against
whose convictions party discipline is pow
erless-have decided to vote, and they will
not be hating between the two opinions
touching this matter, but will work and
| pray and vote against this great evil, until
it is driven from our land never to return.
The government is simply a reflex of the
individuals composing it, We want an hon
est sober people, but we can never have
an honest, sober people, so long as the
government sanctions that which makes
its citizens dishonest, drunken and cor
rupt. The declaration of principles, which
| heartily endorse, as set forth in the plat
form of the Prohibition party, is entitled
to the thoughtful consideration and car
nest support of all good citizens, without
regard to locality or former political affilia-
ton Our country needs an administration
| that will rise above mere partisan considera-
| tions, and in the selection of public Off
Gals make honesty and efficiency, and not
service to party, the test. 1t should be con-
Quoted, not in the interest of any particular
section, party, race or color, but in the in
terest of the whole people. To accomplish
this, all good citizens should promptly step
! to the front and be counted for the right.
This is no time for lodging. Moral cow
ardice will never win, and surely never
deserves victory.
Then let us look to God for His guidance
and fearlessly and faithfully do our whole
duty, never doubling that He will take
care of the results.
Very truly your friend,

THE FLAVOR OF AN OYSTER.
How II Can be Changcd-SOme Curious
Facts.

The favorite brands of oysters, such as
the Blue Points. the Rockaways, ShrewS-
burys and other oysters, are superior to
oysters from other localities because of
the difference in the water Mr. Harvey,
of Washington, tells the Star of that city;
You can change the flavor of an oyster
just as you can a pot of soup. You know
that in soups the stock or consommc is
only made, and from that nearly all the
other kinds are obtained by the addition
of the chicken or vegetables, or whatever
is used. Take an oyster and change it
from salt water to fresh or partly fresh
and it makes difference in its flavor The
northern oyster cultivators are studying
this feature of the business. with a CON
scquent improvement in the flavor and
quality of the oysters. | have often seen
them take a dead salt oyster and bring it
fresh. When the oysterman brings oysters
i'll from the deep water and throws them
over into the fresh water it is what they
call giving them drink.
FAvoRITE BRANDS.
GLOW do you rate the principal brands
of oysters now in the market as to flavor.
etc - asked the reporter
Il suppose" replied Mr. Harvey, after
thinking a moment, that the saddle
rocks naturally come to mind when you
speak of favorite brands of oysters. but
the fact is this brand is now extinct. or
nearly so, for they don't get a bucketful
of them in week. They came from
Norwalk, Conn, harbor, and got their
name from the reef around which they
grew. Saddle-rock oysters is now trade
name for the prime extra size of East
river oysters and the largest oysters of
the other varieties. As far as the flavor
is concerned, the Rock-aways are the
finest favored oyster in the market The
Shrewsbury and Blue Points are the most
delicate, the East rivers most salty. but
little coarse. The Long Island sound
oyster is very fine, fat oyster, but has
not the flavor of those have mentioned. "
DISTINGUISHING OYSTERS
rs it possible to distinguish between
these varieties by the taste ?" asked the
reporter.
Certainly it is said Mr.. Harvey.
Just in the same way as you distinguish
between the yintages of wine or brandy
or the kinds of tea. | am able to tell the
diffe renee between the varieties of oysters
simply by tasting them, and many Of my
customers can do the same thing. But
the bulk of the oyster consumers do not
know one oyster from another. The real
oyster epicure never puts anything. on an
oyster when eaten raw. Some however
use dash of lemon juice. But when
man puts on all sorts of condiments he is
not apt to know or care about what sort
of an oyster he is eating

Rurdetfe.s Tribute to an Honest States
MANA Candidate without Il Stain.

The following tribute to the character OF
St. John is from the pen of II. j. Burdette
in the Burlington Hamkeye. staunch Re
publican sheet, and not therefore, suppos-
ed to be over. anxious to extol the charac-
ter of an opposing standard bearer. Evi-
IDENTIFY the writer speaks from heart full
of warm sympathy and honest apprecIa-
ton. Hear him.
If Governor John P. st. John should be
elected president of the United States, there
would be a perfectly unspoiled citizen IN
the White House. The elevation would
not hurt him particle, and his friends of
to-day would still be his dearest friends of
Tomorrow. Unassuming, modest, strong
in his convictions, | believe there is no
honester man i'll public life i'll America; no
man more conscientious, more consistent
in his teaching and in his practice. Through
a long, hard, single-handed struggle with
adverse fortunes, st. John at last reached
high place and reapcd high rewards, and
he has come through his long fight with
clean hands, without a smear or faint on
his character. And strong and pronounced
as are his qualities as a leader of men, an
executive officer, an orator, the brightest
traits of the mans character shine forth
most brilliantly in his domestic life; i'll the
social circle 1t has often been my good
fortune to have him a guest inmy home and
no manmeets warmer welcome at its doors.
From the little woman whose voice will
never bid him welcome to an earthly home
again. down to Prince. the whole house
was glad when his well-known voice was
heard in the hall, and many a long after
noon and merry evening has flown away
like an hour with anecdote, "Reminiscences,
argument, suggestion, story of travel and
adventure of long ago, dropping from his
| lips All children love st. John; and he
knows how To talk to til, IN. Some of the
best addresses to the little people | ever
heard were made by him i'll the little vii
lagos of Ardmore and Bryn Mawr, Penn
sylvania, to the most delighted audiences
that ever listened to a presidential candi-
and attractive; his eyes are tender as a
womans, his sympathies quick and earn
est and withal, he carries i'll his
well-poised head stock of hard, hon
est. rare common sense. He comes of
good Huguenot stock, as his name indicates,
and Saint is the quaint and pleasant
name by which his near relatives address
him. He makes friends of men without
apparently trying to win them; where he is
best known his strength is greatest, and
whether he polls ten thousand or ten
million, he will be the same St. John-a
big-heartcd, clear-headed honest, consist
ent man. | am aware, by the way, that
the Hamkeye isn't an overwhelming St.
John paper, but then it is a great, broad
souled paper, that rejoices to speak the
truth of foeman worthy of its steel pen.

We have received from friend i'll Glou-
cester City copy of the Reporter OF that
place. under date of Octorber Sd, contain
ing one or two marked editorials on st.
John and temperance. Our friend also
sends us letter in which he evidently ex-
poets us to 90 for the editorial aforesaid,
as he suggests that we send the editor a
marked copy Of our paper containing our
comments thereon.
We fail to see anything in the editorial
of the Reporter beyond what is evidently
an honest expression of the writer's views.
The Reporter man probably knew what he
wanted tie say. and from his standpoint he
said it forcibly and we'll. He is only TAX
ing another road to the same place that our
friend is travelling for. If it so happen that
he finds the road longer and more difficult
over the St. John route, that is his look
out. If our Gloucester correspondent disa-
grees with him our columns will be open
for him. but the MONITOR editorially has
no quarrel with any class of temperance
workers, but rather seeks to harmonic
ALL There are plenty of good temperance
men who will vote for st. John. There are
plenty others equally good and honest who
will not. Let every man be fully persuaded
in his own mind and vote as seeneth right
to him, provided always he votes honestly,
and let results show who is wisest.

My DEAR SIR:-In formally accepting
the nomination for President rendered to
me by the National Prohibition Conven-

take the opportunity to state that while
the honor was neither sought nor desired
by me, yet it is greatly appreciated, be-

of delegates who, in point of real worth and
mental ability, were fully equal, if not
superior, to those of any political conven-
ton that ever assembled in this country.

has been abolished. The old issues have
passed away and with them should 90 the

down, banks breaking merchants falling
in business securities unsettled, western
wheat selling at the home market for forty
cents per bushel, and hundreds of thou
sands of industrious mechanics and labor
ing men, who are willing to work but can
get nothing to do, it seems to me that the
time has come for the people to call halt
and stop and think, for there must be a
reason for this condition of things.
The little time and space the old parties
can spare after dealing out the full
measure of personal abuse and villification
that each seems to think the other merits
is mainly devoted to the discussion of the
tariff question, ignoring all matters that
relate to the moral elevation of the people.

who, by reason of the depressed condition
of business, has been compelled to make an
assignment for the benefit of his creditors.
will not find relief in the agitation of that
question now, nor will the average farmer
become enthusiastic over its discussion,
