JOHN SHERMAN is reported as say

In the very pleasant pastime in try ing

opposed to anything that looks like

THE Republicans are in favor of the
Scott law taxing the liquor traffic, but
authorizing and permitting it to be
carried on, and they think it to be en-.
tirely consistent for Prohibitionists to
vote the Republican plan of dealing
with the subject, of course.
The disposition of the cottage i'll
which General Grant died lies with
Joseph w. Drexel, and the press il
authorized to announce that the cot
tage will never again be occupied by
any family or persons. Mr.. Drexel
will in due time present it to the state
or national government. The house
will be presented intact with all its
present belongings, furniture, fl xtures,
ETC., as gift to the nation or common
wealth.

The Prohibition party is better or.
ganized, politically, than ever before,
and from the way they have organized
their cam paign, ole would think they
were old hands at conducting cam
paiguS, aud in fact had been in power,
and knew all about the workings and
intricacies of Il canvass that would Sc
cure to them the success they so much
desire. Heretofore this party was
composed of people who !Snew absO-
lutciy nothing OF politics, and in fact
were considered crauks. They would
meet together i'll convention, adopt u
lot of iron clad resolutions. nominate
an impracti,:aUIe ticket, sing the doX
o!Ogy aud go home, ana let the rea
work OF tie campaign go to the dogs.
Now, however, an entirely different
set nf ul"u are NJ the head of the move
ment, men who understand what pol
tiles ANA the conduct vi At campaign
means, and i0en who have had more
Or less experience in one or the other
of the great political parties, and they
propose to use what experience they
have gained in this fight for Leonard
and Prohibition.

I was talking with n prominent
memL Der of the Prohibition party the
other day. He is the pastor of pros
porous church not far from Ravenna,
and has done much in the Interest of
Prohibition in this part of the State
for several years. He was a delegate
TO the Springfield convention, and was
one of the Secretaries of that body.
Said he: We expect to make an un-
usually strong fight this campaign.
Our convention was the largest we
have ever held, and when you take
into consideration the fact that about
1000 people from dilierent parts of the
State paid their own expenses end at
tended the convention at Springfield,
you can make up your mind that a
good deal of interest is felt in the cause
for W hich we are so ZealOusly fighting.
We do not expect TO elect Mr.. Leonard
but we are going to try ana get all the
votes we can for him and the rest OF
the ticket, and no effort will be spared
to make this an honest and vigorous
fight against the liquor traffic"
The Democratic press. [volume] (Ravenna, O. [Ohio]) 1868-1901, 1885-07-30

This same gentleman told me that
the stories published in many of the
Republican papers, that there was
great disatirction il DR.. Leonard's
church, on account OF his course i'll
this matter, were all lies, manufactur-
ed for campaign purposes. He said
that last week, 10y q majority of 25 to ,,
the official board of his church had
decided to ask the Conference for his
return to their church next ycar-a
unanimity that certainly shows a very
small degree Of dissatisfaction. "Of
course" said my friend, every mem
Der OF his church is not Prohibition
i5t, or in accord with his views ou the
temperance question, but they are in
varabiy willing to let their pastor
;iave such views as he chooses on this
question, so long as he faithfully
breaches 20 them of Christ and Him
crucified.'

An Excellent New York Paper.

Among the newspapers Of New
York City which have in any
sense national circulation, the
Tribune ranks undepiably foremost.
Owing to its persistent discussion
of measures affecting the develop
ment of the varied resources of the
country and business welfare Of the
people, the Tribune is paper that
is read by men of all parties and
with profit to all. 1t is certainly
a strong, complete, valuable news
paper. 1t is also one of the safest
papers that can be taken into the
home to be read by the family. 1t
will not corrupt the taste of grow
ing minds. AS the country turns
more and more to the discussion Of
those practical questions of public
policy bearing upon business inter-
ests, the Tribune will come more
and more into popular demand.
See prospectus of the Tribune in
another column on some new and
interesting features for the coming
year. Address,

which all through Gods word ls
prohibited as beverage.
Then what resem blance is there
between the unfermented juice of
the grape and the fiery red stuff
called wine to-day? And what
resemblance is their between Jesus
turning water to wine at Cana OF
Galilee, and the modern brewer :
The contrast is as great as that
between heaven and hell. Said
a Christian to me a few days ago,
"Our physicians could not COM
pound their medicines without
whisky"
I know that's stale argument,
and as false as it is stale. In the
first place, alcohol has neither
medical nor nourishing qualities
about it, and as to the common
saloon whisky, it is nothing but
homemade slop with enough
strichnine, arsenic, belladona,
stramonium and tobacco in it to
make it enrage, and then stupefy
it's victims. Talk about Jesus
making wine, and pairing him
with the modern brewer, and Paul
with the modern druggist! Shame
on such sacrilege!
1t is q sin against high Heaven
to associate Christ's and PauPs
names with the modern brewers,
and rum sellers, who in their God
-and-law-defying business are
dragging souls to hell, while Jesus
died and seeks to redeem them,
and Paul labored to rescue them
from woe.
The modern whisky business is
crusade against Christ and his
holy religion, and it is the duty
of every follower of His to fight,
work, talk, vote and pray for Pro,
hibition. S. J. GRAHAM.

Did Christ Make Wine, and Paul
Recommend 1t?
ED FREEMAN ::

ED. L KEENAN,
This is an old and futile argu-
ment that some Christians as well
as wicked men use to defend the
drink habit, aud it is simply
sacriligious. Prohibition alarms
some people more than the end Of
time does. There may be good and
sufficient reasons for that however.
Likely they think the end of time
may be some distance off, but they
are sure that Prohibition is even
now at the door.
20, wine is good for a great many
things" they say, "And Christ
made the best wine at the feast OF
Cana"
"And there was Paul, the great
apostle to the Gentiles, who re-
commended wine in the case of
dyspe ptic Timothy. Therefore, ii
Christ made vine for the people to
drink at a marriage feast, and
Paul recommended its use for
stomach trouble, what harm can
their be in u moderate use of it p
[ would answer first Of all that
in neither instance was fermented
vine used, and that Jesus used
wine made of pure water, which is
rather an argument against the
juice of the grape as beverage
When Solomon said, Look not
upon the wine when it is cod," he
had reference to fermented wine

Three Solid Reasons.

Here are three solid reasons for
high license:
l. 1t intrenches the saloon be-
hind the cupidity of the taxpayer.
2. 1t gives the sanction of the
law to the saloon business,
3. 1t makes the State partner
in the business and dulls and dead
ems the public conscience.

WEST VIRGINIA FREEMAN
A Few Corrections Asked.

don't blame you tor being,"tir-
ed" But l ask in justice to make
few corrections, then l will no
more intrude upon your patience.
1st 1 did not thrust the third
party question upon the U. B. Con-
ference" but sought to keep clear
of all political parties or party
journals, and stand upon principle.
I'd. The "reiteration" was call
ed forth because you said had
raised no point of objection.
Sd. AS to "partiality." The
Broad Run Association formerly
adopted the FREEMAN. At its last
session it did not. Ask Gen. Light
burn, the Moderator, or DR.. Nc
Whorter the Com. on Temperance,
why? But not one word about
Encouraging saloonists, &c." in
the FREEMAN.
4th, l never "misquoted the
FREEMAN in one single word.
5th. The unkind language "giv-
ing encouragement to saloonists,
strikers, &C., is your own. | ask
you to give one utterance from a
"saIoonist or striker"
9th. By your logic you place
all anti-third party prohibitionists
on the saloon side, and make US
party politicians, when in fact we
are only trying to hold all in the
fight for prohibition, without in
terfering with any political rights.
7th. The charge that the "M.
E. and U. B. pulpits were made
rostrums for Republican speeches."
was not confined to the "North"
nor to the time of the "war." Now
you say the Baptists did the same
thing. When and where? You
now say "war" speeches. Were
war and Republican speeches the
same? We're you in favor of such
uses being made of your pulpits
provided they were so used.
Sth. We are no more fighting
against the third party" than
you are fighting against US.
Your 'thjrd parity did antagonize
the administration party in Iowa,
when they were carrying Prohibi-
ton at political sacrifice.
9th. If you did not want US to
adopt the FREEMAN, why utter
such unkind criticisms, simply
because we did not?
Give US the same liberty you
want for yourself, and we will
have no fight, but charge upon the
common foe.

Predictions abundantly contradict
