so.cAILED CHRISTIAN MINISTER'S.
Ministers can give no Intelligent Rca-
son for Refusing to Vote the Pro-
iiIbitiOR Ticket.

lJelaNal signal.
y few days ago We met with a so-callod
christian minister, who belongs to that
class of preachers that prays and breaches
for the destruction of the liquor traffic in
the church and prayer meetings, and in his
party votes to sustain and pcrpetuate the
same traffic. We asked him to give q sin
gle intelligent reason for casting his bal
lot in favor of the Republican party in
preference to having voted the Prohibition
ticket? He answered by saying: by vot-
ing the Prohibition ticket it placed in pow
er the Democratic party" Thereby adj
hitting that the only motive he had in yot-
ing the Republican ticket. was to keep the
Democrats out Of power. He did not vote
for principle, but only to beat the opposite
party. Shame upon a man, and more es-
pecially, a christian minister, who will thus
abuse the elective franchise. These same
men will admit that no man can vote in
the interest Of temperance and prohibition
by casting his ballot for either of the two
old parties. Yet these pretended temper
ance men will, for the sake of defeating
the opposite party, cast their ballots for
their old rum soaked parties. We have no
confidence in the sincerity Of men who
hold themselves out as being in favor Of
prohibition, and at the same time believe
that the success Of their dear old liquor
soaked parties are Of more consequence
than the suppression of the liquor traffic.
We would like to have these so-called
christian ministers tell us why it is that
during the last tventy-four years that the
Republican party has been in power in
national affairs, the liquor interests have

The Public School Temperance Instruc
ton bill, of Pennsylvania, has been signed
by the Governor, and is now a law.
Mrs. Lavinia Stratton, better known as
Mrs. Tom Thumb, and the Count Primo
Magri, of Italy, were married in New York
on Monday.
A close friend of Mrs. Garfield has fur
nished the following to the Associated
Press: "The report that has been extern
sively circulated that Mrs. Garfield is to
be married undoubtedly originated from
some malicious person who wished to an
noy her, as it has been authoritatively as
certained that the rumor is utterly false,
having no foundation whatever. Mrs.
Garfield has only recently heard of it.
She still wears mourning and matrimony
has no place in her thoughts"
From New York to Chicago in twenty
four hours is the latest feat in fast railroad
ing. On Sunday the new schedule of
through trains on the Pennsylvania Rail
road was put in operation, and for the dis
lance. the train which leaves New York at
10 O'Clock in the morning for the West, is
the fastest in the world. The distance
from New York to Cincinnati was made in
twenty-one hours, and to st. Louis in
twenty-nine. The other fast trains nave
also had their time cut down considerably.
The Pennsylvania Railroad officials have
brought the road bed to nearly perfection,
and claim that the time made is a triumph
of earnest and persistent effort.

grown to such vast and immense proper
tons. while other business interests have
become immensely depressede Is it not
because the liquor traffic has been protect
ed, fostered and encouraged by the govern
ment through the agency of this Republl-
can party? 1t would be well to remind
these So-called christians that every time
they cast a ballot for these liquor crime
parties, they not only throw away their
votes, but also their prohibition principles,
as well as their manhood and Self-respect.
No vote will ever be thrown away when
cast for truth and correct principles.
''Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
also reap" If you SOW saloon influence,
you must expect to reap a crop of saloons
with their evil results. On the other hand
if you SOW prohibition seed you will reap
the fruits of prohibition III the enactment
and enforcement of p%rohibitory laws. You
might with the same logic have said that
every shot fired during the war of the re-
bellion prior to the surrender of Lees army
~ = HtOlii0tbAs as "a FtlCN tbi'Nh ~ ~
to argue that every vote cast for the Pro-
hibition party ticket was thrown away.
Every shot fired by the Union armies iii
the hundred battles fought and lost, dur
ing the four long and bloody years, were
necessary in order to reach Appomatox
Court House, and there make Lee
with his rebel army surrender to General
Grant and the Union army. Every Shot
ired-notw outstanding the battle was lost
yet it counted for the Union as much as
those fired at Appomatox, where the final
and browning victory was won. So it is
with every vote cast for prohibition, they
will be counted until the last yestige of the
run curse will be swept from our country.
Leave the old whiskey-soaked parties, and
cast your votes for the party that is bat
Ting for the principle which you endorse,
and you will find that your vote will be
counted, and not thrown away.

JUVENILE

About two weeks ago two boys, aged
twelve and fourteen years respectively,
were arrested in the streets of Cleveland in
a state of beastly intoxication, taken to the
police station. and. after a trial. sent to the
Reform Farm.
The circumstance occasioned quite a stir
in newspaper circles. and a good deal OF
denunciation has been meted ont to the in
i%quitous saloon keeper who gave or sold
the drink TO these lads, for which he cares
nothing so long as he has an open field for
carrying on his degrading, soul-destroying
business. A great ado is made over this
as if it were an thing, whereas
there are few saloonists that will not sell
to bows as readily as to men regardless of
the law.
Indeed they are most anxious for this pa
tronage knowing that the boys are to be
their best customers by and by. They
nave an eye to business when they set
traps for our boys, sometimes inviting
them to drink lemonade in which some
thing stronger is mingled, or holding out
the inducement of free lunch, which even
the juvenile consumer is expected to wash
down with beer. for which they pay the
usual price.
A Cincinnati paper sounds the alarm
bell in the following strain;

posterous practice now INDUCED i'll by the
saloon-keepers living near schools Of set

lunches,a boy is obliged to spend five cents
for a drink. which, in most every case, is

than by going to a bakery, and there is a
kind of attraction for every boy in a saloon

In the April number of the National
Temperance Adcocate, page 81, is an Atchi-
son (Kansas) telegram dated March 18th,
purporting to be a correct summary of Sec.
II of the new prohi bition law of Kansas,
touching the liability of railroad corpora
tions, express companies, and common
carriers, in the delivery of Intoxicating
liquors. 1t says:
The managers Of the different railroad
and transportation companies have issued
circular letters calling the attention of
their agents to that section of the new law
which provides that any officer, agent or
employe Of any railroad, express company
or common carrier who knowingly delivers
any intoxicating liquor to any person in
the State shall be fined from 500 to $500
and imprisoned from thirty to sixty days. "
This is decidedly mischievous and well
calculated to deceive. The truth, the
whole truth, and nothing but the truth
should be told If we are to tell anything,
To create a false or even erroneous inn
preston euures to our harm sooner or lat
er. Indastriously working up a sentiment
on a false basis only tends to disgust and
to weaken faith, and to lessen confidence,
especially if deception was intentional.
Now three very important words We're
omitted. changing very materially the
meaning and force of the entire section re-
f.rred to, and plainly and ~conc'usively
shows that it is not such a terrible provi-
sion as at first it appears to be. The fol-
lowing is Sec. II with the omitted words in
the Atchison telegram here inserted in
italics:
Any officer, agent or employe of any
railroad company. express company or
other common carrier, who shall knowing
~ carry or deliver any Intoxicating
liquor to or for any person 10 be sold
in violation to this act, or the act to
which this is an amendment, and supple
mental, shall be deemed guilty of a INSIDE
meanor." The penalties are as stated in
the telegram.

Your License.


In these days ofhigh-license andlow these
words of Rev. John Pierpont are worthy of
being read and pondered by anyone who is
celebrating the subject of taking out a
permit for himself.
Eyes, you have a license, and that is
your plea. Well, my friend, if that is your
plea | adjure you to keep it, lock it up
among your choicest jewels, guard it as the
apple of your eye; and when you die and
are laid in your coffin, be sure that the pre-
cious document is placed within your cold
clammy fingers, so that when you are cal
led upon TO confront the souls of your
victims before God, you may be able to file
in your plea of justification. and boldly lay
down your license on the bar of the Judge.
Yes. my friend, keepit; you will then rant
your license, signed by the County Com
m~issioners and indorsed by the Select
men,"
a great reckoning day W i'll surely come
when all concerned in this license business
will have to bear a part. 1t was not tenn

harm lone by the liquor sold under that
permission. 1t was a solemn, earnest truth.
Would that every judge would say as he
did, Il am resolved that no liquor-seller
shall stand up in the Judgment and say:
Here, Lord, is my authority. signed by
the County Judge Of Trimble County.
An appeal from his decision was of no
avail. 1t was decided that there was no
power to compel the Judge to grant licenses,
and the effect on the morals of the county
was very apparent. There was not a Grim
inal case on the docket. nor any paupers
for the town to support. 1t is a singular
coincidence. if liquor does the little harm
that its defendants claim, that these two
facts always 60 together: The less liquor
sold, the less crime and pauperism.
One in whose hands his breath is, has said:
Woe unto him who giyeth his neighbor
drink" Woe unto him who buildcth a
town with blood" Woe unto him that
buildeth his house by unrighteouSness and
his chambers by wrong" 1t is a fearful
thing to have a woe pronounced upon
ones possessions by One who holds all
power in is hands. Tile Voice.
