WHISKY IN OHIO.
a Remarkable Drift Toward prOhibi-
tion Reported in Cincinnati.

The liquor question will come into Ohio
politics at the next fall election not as
party question. Neither party desires to
tamper with it. 1t has proven too danger
Gus for any party. The Democratic legis-
lators have on the carpet proposition to
submit to the vote OF the people two
amendments to the Constitution-one for
Prohibition, the other for license. This
submitting of alternative amendments, may
so divide the vote as to defeat both prop
ositions. If so, it will not be the first time
such strategy was employed.
1t is safe to predict that in case of these
two amendments coming up, that city will
astonsh the world by the vote it will roll
up for Prohibition. A surprising revo-
luton has taken place there in the feeling
ON that subject. Drunkards, moderate
drinkers, Germans, Irish Democrats and Re-
publicans are all contributing to the Pro-
hibition strength. The overthrow of the
Scott tax law and the consequent increase
of taxes about 33 per cent, with prospec-
tive greater increase next year, have aroused
a prohibition sentiment in Cincinnati In
dependent of these causes there has been a
great strengthening of the feeling for Pro
hibition in that part of the state.
Riots, murders and Cincinnati Sum
days are believed to have injured not only
the reputation but the business of the city.
The Cincinnati public seem just now to be
III transition mood, ready to leap from
the extreme that they are sick of to the
other extreme just rs soon as an opportu-
nifty is offered

Mr.. EDIToR:-It is due to the life and

pointed for all the living, and the memory
of their virtues to perish for want of some
one to chronicle them. | am impressed
johnson was one whose memory would suffer
injustice should nothing more regarding
his personal worth appear in print than has
as yet And this prompts me to add my
humble tribute to the eminent character of
the social and intellectual qualities of the
subject Of this brief article. My earliest
acquaintance with him dates back to the
fall of 1863 Within these years | have
known something of the shifting and chang
ing circumstances of his life to which he
was subjected by the fault of a too gener-
ous disposition. However inconsistent
with correct understanding may seem the
assertion. vet it is a truth that his virtues,
in some instances, were excessive enough to
amount to defects. | trust | shall not vio-
late propriety if | allude to the fact that
it was as much to his ungovernable gem
erosity as to any other cause that reduced
him in his declining years to condition of
humble circumstances. When i'll hap
pier condition of prosperity, what others
would have regarded as no claim at all
upon their charity, was answered by him
with such spirit of liberality as to amount
to a self-imposed wrong. And although
he was doubtless afflicted with infirmitics
which are inseparable from human nature,
vet | hazard no fear of contradiction when
| affirm that he never did one single act of
injustice to any one but himself, in all his
business intercourse with his fellow men.
Honor and integrity were conspicuous
characteristics of his nature and so deep
seated were these elements that his hatred
of what the world understands as sharp
practices among men, and upon which it is
prone to bestow applause, was profound
and unrelenting. Socially he was prince
of good fellows, his conversational gifts
being of such high order as to make his
conversation truly fascinating He seemed
to speak of all questions upon which he
discoursed with thoroughness of knowl-
edge of the subject matter which almost
made it enviable TO those who were IA
vored with knowledge of the superior
quality of his mind | need not further en-
large upon the activity, comprehension and
clearness of his intellectual faculties. In
politics he was Democrat until the South
appealed to the arbitrament of arms to
settle the slavery question, and saluted
Anderson with shot over the battle
ments of Fort Sumpter. From that
eventful period in our country's his
tory until the close of his life he voted
with the party which sustained the war on
the Union side And if should dare ven-
ture upon so delicate a theme as that of his
religion | should say, that according to
the tenets of some religious bodies he would
not have been regarded as entirely ortho-
dox, yet it seemed to the writer that he
had such firm and abiding faith in the
goodness and mercy of God, and heart so
oyerilowng with love and good will to-
ward his fellow men, that his friends can
enjoy well-grounded hope that he now
lives to die no more $. i. j.

of great interest, entitled ''Prohibtion and
Common Sense" by John Bascom, d. d.,

demand for the prohibition of the liquor

light the objects to be attained, shows the
true function of the law, and most effect

contributions yet made to the literature of

Hail to the glad New Year,
Born eighteen eighty-five!
Welcome, thrice welcome here;
May peace and joy survive
In all thy vast domain,
Throughout thy regnant reign!
Ring, happy, joyous bells!
Ring sweet, and soft, and clear!
Ring, musical, glad bells,
Ring in the radiant year.
May plenty crown thy reign,
And wreathe with roses white
Thy throne, and hide the stain
of the dead past in light.
The golden car of morn
Brings here times youngest born.
Ring, jubilating bells!
Ring merrily and clear.
Ring. joyous, dulcet bells,
Ring in the royal year!
Spare those of tender years,
And age with silver hair;
Seal the sad fount of tears,
And shine through clouds of care
Upon waiting world,
Watching the skies unfurled!
Ring, temperance hopeful bells,
Ring, freedoms golden chime;
Ring, lcarning's cheerful bells,
Ring in the age sublime!

May faith behold the throne
And angels sitting there
Angels of peace and love,
And Heavens decending dove!

Special Announcement.

We take the pleasure i'll announcing that We
have made arrangements with the publishers
of the chicago Weekly Ne,Os which enable us
to club that paper with the MONITOR ut the
very low price of sl.75 per year for the two.
metropolitan weekly has been brought within
the reach of subscribers at so small an addi-
tional price.
For this comparatively small amount our
readers can place themselves in command of
the whole situation. All events of interest,
local. national and foreign, will be presented
completely and promptly by one or the other of
these publications. The single feature of full
and Trustworthy Chicago market quotations
will be worth, to many of our readers, more
than the additional amount involved in the
clubbing arrangement. To those who
not familiar with the character of the chicago
Weekly NeWs, we would say it is the best rep
resentative of independent journalism in the
west
The Weekly NeiCs is large eght-page, sixty
four column paper, ''cram fur of telegraphic
and general news Shorthand pithy editorials on
the topics of the day. written in familiar
yet incisive style, and in all departments evil
out the veribage and fine writing which render
so many of the large metropolitan Journals
"weariness to the flesh" Facts not words,
appear to be its motto.
We trust that all our readers will avail them
selves of this unusual opportunity of securing
"a Chicago weekly at so trhing cost
