70 MAKE THE PHALANX SOLID,
We hardly see how prohibition can

such men as Senator Coke and Il. @.
Mills are making it an issue, vet we
fail TO see how IL can be a test o. De-
mocrscy. Randall and Morrison are
holp Democrats, yet they are widely
sl' rl"n the tariff question. This diff
feIDnce of opinion does not necessarily
proacFlDe either one Of those distiu-
guihhed gentlemen, neither do we
think the fsaity OF anyone should be
questioned by his vote on prohibition.
There issues, AZ we regard them, are
not sufficient cause for any disrup.
tion in the Democratic party. Let tho
respect ana generosity of the msjority
be manifest IN their triumphs and the
majority will readily acquiesce. Then
Will the phalanX DO solid and har-
monious az haretoforo,- Bowie Cross.

PROHIBITION.
Prohibition In the strictest sense, is
not a political question, according to
our views; 1t Is moral question which
has been thrust into politics carelessly
by men who are opposed TO the best
interests Of society when they can
make cont by such opposition. The
men who have forced 1t 10 its present
attitude are tho infamous members of
the 10th Legislature and their allies,
the whtskey men, who would not per-
init the question to come TO q vote Of
the people of tie State regardless of
party, else it would have been decided
outside OF any party long ago. But
now 1t may be championed by either
the Democratic or Republican parties,
for 1t is not contrary TO Democracy or
Republioanism Coke and Mills say
1t Is not Democratic, but the Demo-
cratic party Of the old State of Virgin
10 and also of Iowa say ii is Delta
Banner.
THE LIBEL LAW.
The ancient and altogether sense
less legal maxim Of "the greater the
truth the greater the libel" has has
tened many an exposed evildoer TO
his ruin. When q newspaper tells On
unpleasant truth concerning man
who forces himself into n public po-
sition, the consured individunl-par-

been stated-rushos into court aud
