The Hon. Neal Dow has been nominated
for County Attorney by the Prohibitionists
of Cumberland County, Maine.
Miss KATE F. KIMBALL, the Secretary
of the 9: L. S. @. (Chautauqua). very
remarkable woman, is IN active member Of
the w. G. 7. u, always wearing the white
ribbon.
THE Prohibition party, conventions, and
newspaper organs by large majority favor
the submission of an amendment to tho
constitutions of States giving the ballot to
women.
MISS CARRIE WHITE, President Of the
Western Washington w. @. T.. u, is q
member of the Republican Central Com
mittee, the first lady ever occupying that
position.
LADY MCDONALD, whose husbands po-
sition in Canada ranks next to that of the
Marquis of Lorne, is total abstainer, and
never has wine served at her table, even
when entertaining royalty.
Mr.. AND Mrs. GUsTAFsoN, author of
"The Foundations of DEATH" have re-
turned to Europe after two-months visit
in America. They contemplate writing a
series of books on the temperance question.
BEFORE the ports of Japan were opened
to the Christian nations of the world there
were only eleven intoxicating drinks known,
now there are over two hundred; for every
missionary we send to heather land we
send 100000 gallons of rum.
1T is very significant Of the growing
power of the w. C. T. U. that not o meet
ing of importance has been held in State
OF nation, during the past spring and sum-
mer, in which white ribboners have not
been prominently represented.
IT has been the custom in England to
supply inmates Of pauper lunatic asylums
with beer as part OF the daily diet. This
has been discontinued and the result shows
a great improvement both in the health and
conduct of the inmates of those institu-
| tons.
The written testimony of seventeen of
the largest insurance companies is that q
saloon greatly depreciates the value of a
building, and also buildings adjoining.
Many companies refuse to insure saloon,
large percentage of fires.
FoRTY-s1X Of the fifty-eight wards and
towns in Worcester County, Mass, were
carried for no license last spring, and the
financial prosperity of these places is shown
BY the fact that $4,000 was deposited in
the banks of Worcester during May and
June by people who never deposited money
before, having previously spent it in drink.

self with great enthusiasm into the
work of getting signatures to the petit

poets to secure one thousand signatures
from the members of the Catholic Church
in that city. She also takes great inter-
est in the introduction of Temperance text
books in the schools, and intends next
year to have them used in the convent
school.

The Saloons Must Go!

There is nothing SO absurd, to a man
familiar with Kansas people, as the sense
less gable of few whisky cranks in this
city about prohibition. The vision of these
men does not extend beyond the hills about
the city. They do hot know that great
revolution in public sentiment has occurred
within the past three years. They do not
know that the people in every town and
city of the State, with four or five excep-
tons, have quit talking about or worrying
over the whisky question; that the con-
of intoxicating liquors has been accepted
as final settlement of this question. and
that tens of thousands of men who voted
against the amendment now frankly de-
clare that they were mistaken; that pro-
hibition has resulted in incalcuable good,
and that they are now heartily in favor of it.
We could name hundreds of such men
in all parts of the State, Democrats as well
as Republicans, who have changed their
opinions on this question, as we have stated,
and the list would include some Of the
most active and influential leaders of the
resubmission movement of four years ago.
The real truth Island no amount Of mis-
representation and lying will disguise the
fact--that drinking and Drunkenness have
enormously decreased in this State.
Not -hundredth part of the liquor is
sold and used now that was sold and used
six wears ago. The saloon has been Danish
ed forever from every town and city in the
State, except probably half o dozen or 50,
and even in the places where it still holds
on, drinking and drunkenness have been
decreasing. Even in this city there are
hundreds of men, habitual frequenters OF
the saloons six years ago, who never enter
tl.eir doors now.
The senseless gable about prohibition
is doing Atchison incalculable harm. The
public sentiment of the people is over
wbelmingly in favor of rigid enforcement
of the cons tuition and laws. and it is grow
ing stronger every day. Int ligent men
everywhere see the good results that have
been wrought by banishing the saloon-see
that thousands of women and children are
better clothed than they were before; see
that drunkenness and drinking have been
enormously reduced; see that the Danish

The Effects Of Prohibition on Busln,,s

Some few timid souls in Ohio assert that
they fear to see Prohibition adopted in the
municipalities of the State on the ground
that it woul ruin their trade, increase the
taxes, stop tie growth of population, and
consequently put an end to inc erection of
new dwellings, and business structures, and
involve business men, generally, in tinan-
cial ruin. The Capital, Of Topeka, Kan
sas, OPPORTUNITY answers these objections
by showing what has been the result of five
wears of Prohibition in that State. We ask
its careful perusal by all interested in the
problem:
Gin 1880, in June, the census of the State
was taken by the National Government; on
March 1, 1885, our county and State author
tiles took the census. Our population, thus
shown, was G96,O96, in 1850. before prohi-
bition, and 1.2GS,5G2 i'll 1885; prohibition
had taken effect less than four years. The
State had not stopped growing; the growth
was 272,466. Most of the cities, except
Leavenworth and Ate; rison, where the law
is moi enforced, have doubled in population
in five years."
Let us stop here to call attention to the

A Glorious Resurrection.

The present Prohibition movement is the
most promising and certainly the greatest
epoch in the history of our country.
1t does not promise much Of asprophet's
vision to see the bright glimpses Of the
coming revolution that is soon to sweep this
curse of all curses, the liquor traffic, into
the deep gulf of humiliation, and this rev.
olution will do more to clarity and elevate
the moral tone of the people and dignity our
civilization than all other influences of a
human character combined. This new de-
parture that is now SO certain to eliminate
into grand uprising has taken most of
the politicians by surprise. This radical
and digniied crusade for righteous mod
itication of statute law to prohibit the
liquor traffic has been the result of the de-
faint character of the um-sellers, and their
arrogant demands for concession and legal
claims to responsibility. The people are
now de ermined, and their determination is
taking very active form.
Prohibition has become the rallying cry
for young men and old men, both of whom
are forming into Prohibition clubs all over
the land. In New York, New Jersey, and
all the New England States, and ali over
the West, the people are hurrying forward
with zeal and enthusiasm. The Southern
people are combining, and in every section
of the country Prohibitionists have their
representatives in complete political organ
izations.
The church is taking IN active political
interest, and the atmosphere is full of pro-
hibition everywhere. We now feel some Of
the inspiration that was prevalent when the
grand old party" first developed into life
and activity for the destruction Of slavery
The lightning flashes Of truth and the
thunder of an awakened conscience are
enthusiasm. This cyclone of moral revo-
luton has developed with rapidity that
has astonished everybody, and that the
Prohibition party will be triumphant in the
near future, is Us certain as the tides ebt
and flow; nothing can now stay its onward
progress.
The fiat of the people is: "The saloon
must go."-Demorest's Monthly.
