Prohibition in Kentucky-Even
in the County of Bourbon
Itself.

The following report of "Bills
passed" by the Kentucky Legisla-

it reads:
"Bills passed:
To prohibit the sale of liquor in
Precinct No. s, in Bourbon Co.
To prohibit the sale Of liquor in
the town of Glenville, OF within 3
miles thereof.
70 prevent the sale of liquors

A Mothers AdMice.

While in Charleston recently we
enjoyed a call at the office of our
staunch Prohibition friend, Mr.. H.
G. McWhorter. During the visit
he handed us copy of the Milan,
(Mo.) Republican, one, of Missouri's
outspoken Prohibition journals,
from which we clip the item below,
which our readers wal enjoy as be-
ing decidedly rich ia pointed sa1-
casm.
The item was clipped with com-
ments by the Republican, Here it
is:
A MOTHERS ADVICE.
My son, when you go to St. Louis
you will find wickedness and vice
on every hand and you will there
fore have to exercise great care in
the selection of your associates.
You cannot always trust church
members, for some of them are i'm
moral the same may be said of
Masonry, Odd Fellowship and all
temperance organizations. But
there is one class of men known
everywhere to be men of good NOR
al character. The courts acting
under oath and using their seal Of
office have given certificates of good
moral character to all dram-shop
keepers. You cannot therefore
make any mistake if you make the
dram-shop keepers your associ ates.
If you write back TO me that you
are on intimate terms of friendship
with all the saloon keepers, shall
know that your morals are safe, Men

The town, council have fixed the
license for sale of liquors, in the

is done, we understand, with, view
to make the traffic pay any increase

to igure out how much Satan shall
be charged for carrying on business
in the corporation, in order to make
his traffic pay the policemen neces-
sary to watch it.

Chronic Riot.
C1nc5mnatG'S Mob It's OaUn Ioterpre-
ter.

When the mob is rampant it is
no time for philosophy. After it
has spent it's fury and done its
mischief, then is the time to look
beneath it for the trouble.
Perhaps the most remarkable
thing about the recent scenes of
terror and bloody death in the
streets of Cincinnati, was the fact
that any intelligent man, familiar
with Cincinnati affairs, should
have been surprised,
1t was natural enough that in
telligent citizens would be terri
fed by such an outburst of mob
violence, but with the notorious
facts before them they should have
been neither surprised nor aston
ished.
The fact is, Cincinnati has been
in a state Of chronic riot for years
past. The deep-seated disease has
been exuding a steady stream Of
robberies debaucheries, prostitu-
ton and murder, month after
month and year after year. While
the mob only robbed dozen a
night and murdered two or three,
on the average, the thousands Of
Christian people were content,
and all the good and substantial
citizens were unmoved. Indeed,
they seemed to be rather pleased
with the mob, especially during
the past year; for $500 leaders of
this perennial riot, were paying
500, and 5000 each, into the rev.
enues of the city and State, as a
compensation for their deviitry.
So you see, it was a paying mob.
And so long as the mob helped to
pay for the property it destroyed
and paid cash price for the citi-
zens murdered, and only killed two
or three night, and took the prop
erty and money from its victims
gradually, why it was very clev-
err sort of a mob, worthy to be
shielded and encouraged and de-
Tended by the leading journals Of
the city, as well as by leading
lawyers, and indeed by the very
Courts of Justice themselves.
So it was that when the mob
chose to defy the laws of the State
and make the holy Sabbath Day a
day of wild, hilarious sports
drunkenness, debaucheries and
crimes, it had the active, earmes
and persistent support of the Com
anerciaJ Gazette, Enquirer, and other
leading journals of the city, by
which it was enabled to triumph
in its riotous treason and outrage
Gus lawlessness,
This overthrow and tramplint
under foot of the "Smith Sunda,
Law" seemed to cause a ripple o
surprise for time, eue'a IN Cancin

the body polite and inquire into
the nature of the social malady
that could SO poison society as to
destroy its affinity for order and
decency and repel all the blessed
sanctities of the Day of Rest.
But no sooner had these inqui-
ries exposed this state Of "chronic
riot, this under-current Of mob
spirit, that found it's outflow
through the $500 saloon ulcers of
the city, than the old-time plas-
tering- er policy was insisted on
with renewed vigor, and all prop
ositions for purifying remedies
were denounced as the "vagaries of
fanatical brains" The policy of
taxing the ulcer as a compensa-
ton for it's exuding pu8 that per-
meated, poisoned and paralyzed
society, was hailed and lauded as
the ne plus ultra of remedies, be-
cause forsooth, there twas millions
in it. .-....... ....
The politicians argued thus:
The millions of money in it will
catch the tax-paying voters. The
riots, death and damnation in it
let the preachers and women
look to that!
And so this chronic rot went
right on. Lawlessness, violence,
robbery, murder, all reigned and
ravaged the city, day by day, week
by week, month by month. The
mob, growing holder and stronger,
gaining impudence with it's
strength, dictated candidates, con-
trolled elections and prostituted
Courts to do its bidding and set its
criminals free.
When the saloon powers had
said to the Government and'Courts,
" We rep~diote gour Sunday Laaos
and defy you IN any efforts to enforce
thene," and by the help Of the Press,
had gained a triumphant victory
and put all government to shame,
the next step was most natural
and easy one. Having gained i'm
munity for the chronic ulcer, it.
self, it was small trouble to secure
immunity for its poisoned Grimm
ais; for if the ulcer be tegol5zed and
established, the pes must flow.
Therefore, as we have said, there
should have been no surprise at the
recent sudden outburst of riotous
violence from this chronic malady
that had been nursed and petted
for years, 1t is the natural
thing for deep seated sore to
break forth suddenly betimes, and
discharge copiously it's accumu-
lated poisons,
The immense mass-meet:ng of
indignant citizens at Music Hall,
which precipitated the outbreak,
was by no means the mob; but it
was quite natural that this effort
to start a healthy flow of blood
through the corrupt, poison-clogged
veins of the body polite, should
drive the worst elements to the
surface in the sudden eruptions
that followed, History shows that
chronic riot long tolerated is apt to
precipitate upon itself at last,
sudden and often riotous RENE
dies.
And herein, the Cincinnati mob,
in which more than fifty men were
killed and many wounded, was its
own sufficient interpreter. The
futile effort to close the saloons,
showed the source of all the
troubles.
