Now who shall dare say that
<'Providence" is not on the side of
Prohibition?
While little Rhode Island was
driving the pirate Liquor Traffic
out of its borders last Wednesday,
by the voice Of her people, the city
of Providence itself, the second city
in New England, containing more
than 10000 people, cast more than
majority vote against the saloons
that had so long cursed its homes.
There were but four or five

Prohibition.

Too Late!
The Vail Of the Woetul.

The following was clipped from
the Washington Sentinel, Liquor
organ, when fresh, and has been
overlooked. It improves with age,
and lest it gets too good to keep,
we give it now. The Editor Of the
Sentinel says:
"Being personally acquainted with Cover.
nor Lee, and knowing him to be sound on
the personal liberty question, the idea
struck us that, as the Governor evidently
seemed to hesitate, we might go down to
Rich mond and make an appeal to him to
veto the local option bill In order to ascer.
tain whether he had in the meantime sign.
ed the bill, we sent the following telegram to
him:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2, 1886.
Governor FStz Lee, Richmond Va:
Can see you before you take action on
local option bill? please answer.
LOUIS SoHADE,
Editor Washington Sentinel.
Shortly after we received the following
reply:
RICHMOND, VA, March 2, 1885.
Louis Schade, Editor Washington
Sentinel, Washington, D. c.:
Bill was passed six days ago. Being
agreed to by decisive maj GRITTY of the party,
and being in party platform, it would be un.
wise to veto it, and it has been signed.
Personally agree with Horatio Seymour
when he said as Governor of New York
All experience shows that Temperance like
other virtues, is not produced by law ma
kers, but by the influence of education, mo-
ra1ity and religion. FITzHUGH LEE.
What pity that Governor Lee, sharing
such sentiments, has missed the golden OPP
portunity of his life and not followed the
example of the Democrat he cites, and like
him, vetoed that obnoxious bill.
There is but one course for the Virginia
Democracy to pursue, and that is as quickly
as possible to retrace its steps, leave unholy
New Engl and sophism and hypocrisy, and
return again to the Democratic party, It's
platform and administration"
Governor Lees agreeing with
Governor Seymour's extraneous
distractions, was poor comfort TO
the liquor men, after he had ap'
proved of the peoples demand for
a vote at the miserable traffic.

Haven't Heard 1t.

The political papers have a
strong partiality for Temperance
work that has no voting in it.
And so the Cincinnati Gazette and
Enquirer, as we'll as the Wheeling
Register and Intelligsneer have all
been so busy reporting the wonder
full Murphy meetings at Tifiin, O.,
that they haven't even heard OF
the great Prohibition victory in
Rhode Island, where the voice Of
the people, crystalized into ballots,
has outlawed and suppressed the
Infamous saloon seed-sowing that
makes Mr.. Murphy's harvest
ing possible and necessity.
However, while the harvest lasts
we are glad to have even oul
enemies to help Mr.. Murphy reap
but it is even more important te
prohibit the sowing for future
crops of iniquity. We are sorry
these public journals are not al
ready to proclaim a sure proven
tien as to laud at best a possible
cure.

"L1ttIe Rhody" Cleans House.

Little Rhode Island did up her
Spring house-cleaning last Wednes'
day. And she did it in such a
ssoeepimg way that she'll not be
troubled as in the past with IN
roads of saloon vermin and attend
ing nuisances.
These abominable dens that had
so long infested her premises gave
so much anxiety and trouble, thai
she at last called in a Council Of
her W. G. T. U. sisters, and VIII
their help and the assistance OF all
her good Temperance neighborS,
she resolved to rise right up ana
make short job of it. Leading
the onslaught with shovel ana
broom and mop, she just shoveleo
and swept and scrubbed all the
dirty saloons out of the house anu
barred the doors forever with a COZ
stitutional Amendment.
And now, when you call on "Ll''
tie Rhody," you'll find her at home
in a clean house, and as happy as
queen.

grievances with so much hazard
and forebodings Of calamity.
Eliminate the saloon, with its
devilish agencies and influences,
from the Labor problem, and intelli-
gent, sober, honest workingmen,
thoroughly organized in the true
spirit and purpose of the noble order
of the Knights of Labor, would at
once be able to command the stu
alton, compel recognition and &C.
cure equity and justice.
Whenever labor movement as
sumes such shape as to compel the
State, Government and citizens,
generally, to oppose it for the pro-
lection of property, then it finds
itself at a terrible disadvantage
and must inevitably succumb and
acknowledge mistake somewhere
and those who would lead wisely,
must set about for a safer b.se of
operations, a new departure and a
more guarded advance.
To attack Capital and destroy
property may serve to crafty re-
venge, and give opportunity for
pillage to the lawless, but this is
not what Labor wants. Labor
wants justice and equity, not re-
venge. And to destroy property or
make business hazardous to in
vestment, only robs Labor Of its
opportunity.
Whatever may be the immediate
settlements of the present wide
spread troubles, the signs of the
times are assuring that the better
elements will force themselves to
the front and Labor will be ad-
vanced in dignity and recognition.
The great mass of American
workingmen are intelligent, hon
est, conservative, and law abiding,
and they will speedily evolve a
way to relieve their righteous
cause of the largely imported sa-
loon contingent that so cripples
their wisest plans and blocks their
way of progress.
In the great Labor problem, now
on the board, and SO prominently
before public attention, there is
vicious, clashing and hostile ele-
ment, ramifying every equation
and process, and confronting every
step in the calculation, and no
solution can over be reached until
this vicious element is eliminated.
Take away the liquor traffic and
the drink curse, and the solution
W i'll be logical, quick and inevita-
BILE.
ERASE THE SALOON FACTOR, AND
SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
If workingmen would hasten the
millennium day of prosperous
harmony and equity between La
Dor and Capital, let them join in
the rising and soon to be univer-
sal cry:

The Coming Cyclone, Heralded by
the Rhode Island Breeze.

The Coming Cyclone, Heralded Dy
the Rhode Island Breeze.
In the Rhode Island three weeks
campaign, that on last Wednesday
eliminated in such a glorious
Prohibition victory, we have fore
taste of what is coming in the near
future, in many States; and much
sooner in the whole country, than
many Prohibitionists, even, expect.
Our enemies and faint-hearted
friends, as we'll, would make a
great ado about the slight differ
ences between Temperance work
ers. They forget that all true Tenn
perance men and women, with the
Churches and all aggressive Tenn
perance organizations, stand to-
gether on the one solid basal rock
of Prohibition; that upon this
common platform they are i'm
movable and invincible, and that
from this common base, their
aggressive movements are made
with perfect assurance and absolute
safety against disaster. So that,
while they may in different ways
be making sallies, and on different
lines be skirmishing against the
enemy in front, they are always
ready for any concentrated move
ment.
And 80 it is, that whenever and
wherever the banner of Constitu-
tional or atutoryProhibition is un-
furled for an aggressive campaign,
all minor disagreements are for
gotten in the ready response to the
general commands "Closc Order"-
"For,oard"-and "On to Victory i"
So it was in Rhode Island. The
wage of battle once precipitated
between the Home and Saloon,
and instantly there was one, quick,
grand and universal mobilization
Of all the Temperance forces. The
W. c. T. o., Good Templars, Sons
OF Temperance, Loyal Legions,
Bands of Hope, Prohibition Party
men, Non-Psrtisans, oil who were
on the Home side, were promptly
in ranks at the first bugle call.
And at once at the front ready to
lead on to the victory, were such
National leaders, as Miss Willard,
Finch, Colquitt, Mrs. Foster,
Hopkins, Mrs. Lathrop, Griffin, of
Kansas, the caller of the Anti
Saloon Republican Convention, and
host of others, men and women,
representing all shades and grades
Of Temperance work and organi-
cation. And they all alike rejoice
in the glorious common victory,
that gives to the Union another
Prohibition State, little thinking
or caring which, if either, Of
the old political parties got hurt in
the conflict.

THE LABOR TROUBLE.
Erase the Saloon Factor and
Solve the Problem.

The conflict ana clasnlng pe-
tween Labor and Capital, precipi-
tates the one other question that
now comes to the front, abreast
with the struggling issues growing
out of the liquor traffic, that are
loudly clamoring and pressing for
solution and while we may be an
swered with the familiar cries OF
"fanatic." "cramk," and all that,
yet we are bold to say, these ques-
tions must and will be largely set
tied together.
But for the exhaustive drain up
on the proceeds Of Labor by this
Internal worm fend, this fiery
leech of the still and beer vat, the
workingman would be in compar-
alive comfort and competence, and
with the intelligent and thorough
organization now being perfected,
Labor could and would compel JUS
tice at the hands of Capital.
The Knights of Labor took a
long step toward the solution that
will yet be evolved out of the con-
flict, when they outlawed and
placed the brand Of infamy on their
worst enemy, by excluding all liq-
uor dealers from membership; and
before they can hope for perma-
nent success, they must make war
on the saloon elements that hang
10th 9 skirts of honest Labor, only
to annoy, harass, cripple and de-
stroy, in any and every great emer-
gency.
Because of this destructive ele-
ment, the disastrous strike that
has prevailed on the Gould rail-
road system in the Southwest,
must inevitably fail of the great
end honestly sought by the en-
ployes. Because of this element,
the strike was rashly preciplta-
ted against the wiser counsels of
the great Order; and because Of this
unbridled and unmanageable
force, the strike was driven beyond
the control of the more conserva-
tive leaders, and to violence and
destruction Of property and loss of
life, which is not only condemned
by The great body Of Knights of La
Dor themselves, but has, Of necessi-
ty, turned the tide of public senti-
ment against the whole move
ment.
In trying to direct and control
this great labor revolution, Mr..
Powderly, the head OF the great or.
ganization, has made worldwide
reputation; and he, with other
leading spirits of the Order, is GER
tainly good authority for saying
the strike was mistake.
In the reckless determination to
prevent the running of trains,
even to the point of resisting the
great States of Texas, Arkansas,
Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois, and
the Government of the United
States itself, several fatal collisions
have occurred between the strikers
or rather the mobs taking advant
age of the strike, and the U. S
Marshals, Sheriff's posses and mill
tia, that have been called into ser
vice to quell the riots.
At Fort Worth, Texas, the mot
defied the Deputy Sheriffs, and s
short battle with Winchester ri
fes and revolvers, resulted in sev
en- or eight men killed and wound
ed. At St. Louis, another collision
occurred in which severa
