Politics and Religion.

Some good workers for temperance
in the field of moral suasion say we
must not get this temperance movement
into politics. Personal temperance is to
be promoted by correcting the habits OF
the individual and this is to he done by
The iudicious use of moral means, such
as convincing arguments, persuasions
and motives to correct life. This work
is to be dore by direct appeals in talk
ing and in writing. But i'll prosecuting
this labor we meet with an antagoniZing
force in the manufacture aud sale
Intoxicating bevrages, authorized and
protected by legislative enactments, the
direct tendency of Yh ch ) to foster and
encourage the conversion of sober men
into drunkards. Now this obstacle to
social sobriety can be removed only by
legislative power. Arguments, motives
and persuasions are available only
as they coin themselves into votes. We
may talk logically. eloquently and for
chilly about the evils of the liquor traf-
fic, but unles the argument is put into
the ballot box it is only blank cart
ridge fired at long range. We must
organize, have some concert of action
and when the time comes to nominate
candidates we must attend the conven-
tions and have a voic in who the can
didate shall be, and at the same time let
all aspirants know that we will not cast
our votes for any man for any office not
in favor of the suppression of the iniquit
tuous liquor traffic. Oh !Christian Fathers
can you see the wholesale destruction
of your boys by these retailers of liquid
hell, these despoilers of home and hap
piness, these anti-church men, these
enemies of the Sabbath, these bulwark;

Care of the Tesm.

The care of the team Is as important
as its feed, When the farmer comes in
from his days work, all perspiration and
dirt, he feels greatly refreshed by wash
ing up. He needs his supper all the
same, but the washing refreshes him,
opens all the pores, and contributes to
his bodily health. A horse is benefited
by like treatment. A wise and humane
driver will always give his team care
full grooming at the close of days
work; they will not only enjoy it, but
will eat better, be less inclined to rub
themselves in the stable, and lie down
more quietly at night, rest better and
be stronger for the next days toll.
The scratches are often the result OF
working in the dirt or damp. As
rule this can be prevented by washing
and rubbing the exposed parts dry. We
never yet failed of curing scratches on a
well fed and properly cared for horse,
with warm water and a dry cloth. BY
little daily care, washing in cold water,
CALLED shoulders or back can be cured
or prevented. We have done the work
of a two-hundred acre farm with one
pair of horses that were always IN good
condition, free from scratches or any
disease, but they had plenty of good
feed and the best care, aud were stabbed
twelve months in the year.-Prairit

For TIE CLARIoN
The Real Idea of Prohibition Not
Isolated.

The late correspondent of TIE
CLARION, signing himself 3D." has
written several things in the usual vein
of those opposing what we believe the
most calculated of all things within the
sphere of legislation, to benefit and
bless our people. That prohibition is
within that sphere, constitutionally
needs no argument from us. The
highest judicial authorities in the land
the Supreme expounders Of our Con
stitution decided this point
definitely. 80 with the well worn argu-
ment about "abridging personal right"
we have nothing to do. We thought it
was fully understood among civilized
men that the whole theory of govern
ment is founded on the principle that
individuals must surrender some of
their rights for the good of the whole
bydy polite. This is eminently true
when the apparent rights of one cause
great disturbance 70 the peace and pros
perity Of q great many. The familiar
illustration is cited of the man who
throws a dixie across a stream upon his
own land for personal profit. This man
will speedily be restrained or enjoined
by law, or else pay all the heavy damage
accruiag from overtiowed lands.
Who can compute the damages, direct
and consequential, that result from one
saloon in d community? The financial
damage is fearful enough; but view
Of the social, mental and moral ruin is
appallingi No wonder that the preach
ers both ''cheap" and costly have risen
up to combat the license system with
such uuan:mity, that the isolated excep-
tiou5 are so rare and remarkable as fully
'to prove the rule" As one represen-
tatiye of the Prohibition cause, I'd like
to inform "D." that the chief hope of
Prohibition is for the rising generation
to take away the snares. But as
lovers of humanity, we do not cast
scorn and repfoach on those who have
been victimized by a business which
the majority of our go0d citizens have
set up by petition. We do not speak of
them as "besotted wretches" unworthy
even of an effort to reclaim. God forbid
that we should be so unlike the sympa-
thizing Saviour; or so forgetful of the
fact that our own loved commonwealth
took reward in money for the debauch
ing of these souls.
In conclusion, | am glad to say that
the cause is steadily growing in the
confidence and affections of our people
Last Tuesday, December 2, our State
lecturer, Rev. J. H. Gambrell, gave US a
capital, logical talk on the objects of
the Union All who were present gave
in their adherence to the work. He
has gone to other parts of the country,
intending to return in January and
effect permanent organization. We
expect then to see a large attendance
and deep interest manifested.
Yours in hope, j. p. DRAKE.

Scenes in a Bar-room.

A few years ago | was in company
with a gentleman who just returned
from the city f L., in New Eng
land He said he put up at the hotel,
and for a time took his seat in the bar
room.
The door opened suddenly, and wo-
man stepped in. She was the very pic
ture of agony; her hair disheveled, her
dress neglected, her eyes unsteady, and
her movements eccentric. She seemed
to hesitate at first, but at length gather
ing courage, she moved up to the bar
and said:
Landlord, don't sell my husband any
more rum. You have already ruined
usl You know that before he came to
your bar he was a sober man. He was
as kind husband as any woman had.
We had a good home, a good farm and
every comfort. But you sold him
liquors until he had no money to pay
Unknown to me you got mortgage on

He beats me and my children cruelty
and threatens 10 murder us! OH don't
give him any more liquor" and the
tears gushed from her eyes, while the
landlord stood speechless.
In the midst of the entreaties, which
should have broken heart of adament
man stepped into the bar-room, and
with the vacant stare of an inebriate
moved toward the bar.
Instantly the pleading wife threw her
self between the man and the bar, ano
with one hand against his breast, anc
the other stretched out imploringly tt
the landlord, and said:
''Oh, don't let him have It'll
And while this scene was passing
heartrending and awful beyond descrip
ton, the landlord walked deliberatel,
out from behind the counter, and takin,
the woman rudely by the arm, said
This is no place for women" and vio
lently tore her from her husband, and
pushing her out, shut the door agains
her.
The wretched inebriate staggered III
and drank his dram, placed a piece o

wiped it off complacently into the draw

brutal attacks upon his defenceless wifi

The Prohibitionlsts.

Some silly Republicans in Kansas have
been amusing themselves by hanging and
burning il effigy, Mr. John P. st. John,
lately the prohibition candidate for
President. If they were sober they
ought TO known that Mr. ST. John is not
responsible for the defeat of the Repub
lican party and that it is nobody's
business if he were. If they were
drunk, and that is the most charitable
view to take of their idiocy, it is evident
that a course of st. John and water is
the best thing in the world for them.
But there are plenty of Republicans
besides these foolish fellows in Kansas
whose wrath Is mighty against St. John
and his Republican followers. We do
not remember to have seen that any Re
publicans have objected to Democrats
voting the prohibition ticket, but that
Republicans should have done so they
esteem a sin and a shame. And so the
poor prohibitionists are abused right and
left.
For what? Simply because they took
the liberty of voting for a candidate who
represented their opinions. The prohi-
bitionists have one advantage over both
the Democratic and Republican party.
They have & single, simple and definite
aim. Amy young and small politi
cal party has that advantage. The
bigger party grows the more conces
siDns it has TO make to various shades of
opinion among its own members, aad
the more polite and evssiye do the
utterances become upon public questions
as to which public opinion is known to
be definitely made up. The Republican
party cannot afford to favor liquor pro-
hibition, because too many Republicans
are known TO be opposed to it. Repub
lican prohibitionists who want to secure
liquor prohibition cannot expect to get
il from their own party or from the
Democrats. They have been obliged
to found party of their own. If they
expect to get prohibition, they must vote
the prohibition ticket, and vote it ut
national elections. So long as they
vote the ticket in the State elections,
and supported Republican nominations
in national elections, the Republicans
merely laughed in their sleeves at them.
shows prOhibitionists that they are now
on the right track.
1t wasn't the prohibitionists that did
the business this year, to be sure, but
they did their best, and are probably
as well pleased as the Republicans are
scared, We don't believe that liquor
prohibition is desirable or practicable,
but when people want anything we like
to see them work, man fashion to
get it, and it is what the prohibitionists
are doing. Under st. John of Kansas,
or some other st. John, they are likely
to continue to make trouble for the
Republicans and the Democrats too, for
that matter.
1t is no use to abuse the St. John men
or any other men for voting as they are
minded N. Y. Sun.

Be Gentle at Home.

There are few families, we imagine,
anywhere, in which love is not abused
as furnishing the license for impolite-
ness. \ husband, father or brother
will speak harsh words to those he loves
best, and those who love him best, sim
ply because the security of love and
family pride keeps him from getting his
head broken 1t is shameful that a
man will speak more impolitely at times
t0 his wife or sister than he would to
any other emale except a low and
vicious one. 1t is thus that the honest
affection of mans nature proves to be
a weaker protection to a woman in the
family than the restraints of society,
and that a woman Is usually indebted
for the kindest politeness of life to those
not belonging to her own household.
Things ought t SO to be. The man
who, because it viii not be resented,
inficts his spleen and bad temper upon
those OF his hearthstone, is small cow
ard and very mean man. Kind words
are circulating mediums between true
gentlemen in society; and nothing can
atone for the harsh language and disre-
spectful treatment too often INDUCED
in between those bound together by
Gods own ties of blood, and the still
more sacred bonds of conjugal love-

Jersey milk is more profitable, be-
