Temperance and the Republican Party.

Temperance and the Republican Party.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
1t is said that revolutions and reforms never
go backward. In their very nature they are
progressive. Opposition may stihe their cries,
but only for a time. That the temperance re-
form has come to stay, no fair-minded man can
doubt. No movement with so determined lead
ers as the temperance leaders will stop short of
ultimate victory. The movement has often
been opposed because of the fanatics" engaged
in it.
But the cause is none the less true, because
At present the movement has reached a point in
our State at which it is necessary to act wisely.
While the temperance people must be determ-
ined, they must stand united, but it is no time
for rash action. OF the two great political par
ties, enough has been learned to know that
nothing can be accomplished from the Demo
cratic party as a party. | believe that the de-
sired end can be reached through the Republican
party, and that by such action the party will
have added one more star to its illustrious rec
ord.
There can be no better way to delay the tenn
perance cause than the formation of a third
party this year. 1t could not hope to succeed,
and it would thus defeat all hope Of any success
the present year. The threat is made that un-
less one OF the parties shall declare, unequivo-
cally in favor of prohibition, then they will sup
port a new party. There arc good reasons why
the Republican party should not put an out-and-
out prohibition plank in their platform. Every
one knows that we cannot have prohibition until
it be made "a part of the Constitution of our
State. Then what reason is there for a party to
declare itself IN favor Of that which is impossible
until means are taken to secure it lawfully and
legally. Such a notion is folly. The only way
to get prohibition is TO allow the people to vote
on it. Before they can vote the question must
be unlimited to them. To that end every tenn
perance man should work Again, there are men
who will vote with a party for submission, but
will not with a prohibition plank in its platform,
thus turning the power over to a party which
has played false even on the submission question.
1t is said that both parties have been tried and
have done nothing. Two years ago there
was a chance to accomplish something.
The Republican members of the Legislature
voted almost to a man for submission. The OBJ
ject sought was only defeated then because the
temperance people were blinded by the mysteri-
Gus translation of the Democratic submission(2j
plank, and were led to believe that that party
favored submission; but in reality it was false,
as shown in the Legislature. The Republican
party has been tried, and has not played false.

the party will declare unequiVocally in favor of

THE FIELD OF LITERATURE.


"
TIMES OF FREDERIcEI /. By 2. Topelius; From the
original Swedish. Jansen, McClurg & Co., Chicago.
Price, $1.25.
This is the fourth volume of the Surgeons
Stories, a fourth cycle, as the author is pleased
to call it. These Swedish stories, semihistori-
cal, and full of interest, open up a new field and
will be read with pleasure. They present many
valuable facts of the notable men and events in
the history of Sweden, while the characteristic
incidents are evidently drawn from life and are
decidedly new and refreshing. The publishers
have made a good movement in undertaking the
publication of these books.

Not So Sad After All.

Three of our citizens, our new Coroner
included in the number, resolved one
day this week to visit the works of the
B. and o., just east of this place. Each
was armed with stick, whether to pro-
tect themselves from the poor navvies,
we fniled to learn. After reaching the
spot where active work was in pro-
gress, they found Il construction train
had Just discharged load of material,
and was about to run back for another.
One of the party knew the engineer, and
saluting him, asked if they (thc trio
might have the privilege of taking a trip.
Their request was kindly granted, and
they quickly climbed aboard. Many of
the wOrkmcn, noticing the movement on
the part of the Coroner and the two men
at once concluded that something
was up-in fact, that some poor mortal
had turned up his toes, and that an in
quest was soon TO take place. As the
train moved slowly off the same anxious
looks of the workmen along the line
greeted the brand new Coroner. Excite
mcnt ran high, and whispers passed from
mouth to mouth as to who the poor vic
tim might be, and what caused his death
1t finally leaked out that the Coroner and
his friends were merely on little iaunt
of inspection, and then the laborers OF
Section % became once more quiet, il
not shade disappointed, that something
had not taken place to break the mon
otony of this unusually quiet portion Of

Good Advice.

ers and many others who will doubtless
be interested in some way BROTHER i'll the
shipment of poultry during the coming
holidays. We are told that the local
freight train no longer runs asa regular"
train, but now makes the trip as an extra,
which in railroad parlance means Il train
with no fixed time of arrival or depar-
ture. As many of our readers know, the
average time for this train to leave New
ark, is about 1880 A. NJ, bnt on account
of goods desired to ibe shipped with
weight and consignee's, name, should be
handed in the Office not later than ff-
teen minutes of eleven A., NJ, as il re-
quires considerable time to prepare the
proper papers, which in all cases must
accompany the goods The better plan,
we are informed, is to leave the account
at the office before taking your shipment
at the warehouse not only as a saving Of
your time, but also to avoid mistakes
which are liable to occur when things are
done in such haste. Many of our citizens
are, of course familiar with the rates on
poultry, but for those who are not we

Just as we expected. There has been
considerable objection raised by property
owners in the vicinity where the pro-
posed skating rink was to be located in
Wilmington, Del A meeting was held
on Monday evening and it was the unan-

There Is no evidence that Wash
Jones Is weaker in South Texas now
than In 1882. His strength lies In that
part of the state, where change Is slow
In population, and in opinion. He
would poll as large vote as he did in
the last election, and come to North
Texas abreast of the Democratic cam
didate. The salvation of Democracy
would then be with those very coun-
ties whose interests the Democratic
party had disregarded, whose interests
Wash Jones had advocated. Achange
of q, 900 votes would defeat the Demo-
cratic candidate. Is 1t unreasonable to
suppose that there will be at least
10000 Democrats with whom vital
self interest is stronger than party ties?
You may defeat the Democratic
party, gentlemen, but THE GAZETTE
protests against your course, and points
out its danger thus early. AS a Demo
cratic journal, this paper has a right
to be heard in its party councils, and
does not fear to say that you are invit-

wiser and more popular policy than
that you are trying to perpetuate in

Weloome to Fort Worth.

The Democrats of Texas are welcome
guests to the Queen City. AS men,
bers of the dominant party in great
state, in state containing 2,OOO,OOO
people, in the empire state of the
South, they must feel pride In the
fact that they meet in city which six
wears ago was but village. AS they
view the progress and witness on all
sides the evidences of energy and
hope and enthusiasm, they must feel
that it is good to be here and see in
this one place the earnest of that flu
ture which awaits all Texas. Fort
Worth will do all in its power to make
their first visit pleasant and agreeable,
and trusts that each of the gentlemen
now in the city may be able, by rea-
son of his treatment here, to carry
back to his home good report of the
city. If there be failure to agreeably
impress each and every one, 1t will
not be attributable to any lack of de-
sire or willingness, and, that the ear
nest wish of all our people to properly
treat their guests may be gratified we
ask these Democrats of Texas to "make
themselves at home" Fort Worth is
a shy, modest young thing, and for.
mality on the part of the distinguished
gentlemen who are here will confuse
and abash her Make yOilrs Ives at
home, gentlemen, and thus make the
city feel ut home in your august pres
ence. When you come again, as some
day we are resolved you shall, we shall

The files of THE GAZETTE furnish q
very complete political history of Tex
as for the past few months; and refer
ring to their pages, the inquirer after
political facts will find very little
omitted. The reports of county con-
ventions have been especially accurate
and full and their work being now
finished, THE GAZETTE gives the re-
suit 80 far as county action has been
reported, in almost perfect detail.
The following table is an exhibit of
the expressions of the counties, so far
as any instructions have been given,
for president, for governor and other
state officers, and for the majority or
two-thirds rule. 1t is very fair index
of the Democratic sentiment of Texas :
