PROHIBITION COLUMN.
.rcrEp BY THE PROHIBITION EX
'qSp EcUTIvE COMMITTEE.

,rshibition and the Coiored Sote'
u submit the following reasons why
Ito to the interest of the colorsd race
\ vote for prohibition
1 It will benefit the colored race as it
N all citizens in helping them to save
,,,sv to better their conditionsand to
4. themselves in their financial affairs
d i cash basis.
4 Il will diminish crime, especially
M lawlessness Of which the coloredrace
eesometimes the object. The most mex
nsblc outrages against black men have
,,;p;uated in saloons, or received their
innetus from whisky.
4 To throw their influence on the
moral side IN great contest will vastly
Elevate their reputation and prospects
'store the world. Their right to vote
rill be more respected-and they will be
boked upon as more valuable 70 society.
N GOOD men in society will extend to
hem more honor, consideration, conf'
| isnce and favor, and this improved public
sutiment will be a vast benefit to them
ss race, will be a shield and protection.
On the contrary to allow whisky men to
uut q hook in their nose and lead them
ii will, will but justify the outcry
saainst them Of their enemies, that they
are not fit to vote, that they are always
against what is good, etc., and the liquor
men themselves after they get their vote
will repudiate and despise them. Cast
your vote then, my colored friends, for
tho pure and good side, that is in favor
Of prohibition, and you will never regret
it Try to elevate society and your
country, not drag them down; and all
men will honor you for it.
4. Your best political and other friends
advise you in favor OF prohibition. All
The preachers favor that side, which is
proof that christianity sanctions it. For
the benefit of those of you who are Re-
publicans, it is fact that the vast major
ity Of the, Republican party of the North
favor prohibition. Senator Sherman the
other day advised the Republicans of
Isaquena county to vote for prohibition.
Ask Fred Douglass and he will give the
ame advice. They know that whisky is
he enemy Of your race.
S. 1t will benefit the free public schools
% vote for prohibition. The public
documents show that all the whisky tax
would not alone keep up the public
more than week if all the chill
'ren attended. Ifonly about half attend
hen not over two weeks. The whisky
dvocates admit this. This shows we
ant depend on whisky to keep up our
,ublic schools and we Can do without the
Whisky tax. For under prohibition, we
would soon become SO, prosperous and
ave 90 much money, otherwise worse
han thrown away, that in a year or two
We could increase the term of the public
and that too without increasing
he rate of taxation on the people. Bes
ides do you want to educate your chill
ren on the misery OF your drunken
eighbor, his wife and children? Go then
Or what is right and you will find that
ou will really benefit and improve the
ublic schools and that in this case virtue
ill be its own reward. My colored
:iends, in the language of the Apostle,
think on these things" |

FALSE IMPRISONMENT

An Interesting Case for the Courts.
Hervey COwdery, through his attOr-
neys, Bates & May, has brought suit
against Nathan M. johnson for false
Imprisonment and the writ is returna-
BILE at the December term of court in
this place. The facts of this case are
briefly as follows: In April, 1885,
while the sheriff of the county and
state, N. M. Johnson, as special depu-
ty sheriff, committed Mr.. Cowdery to
Jail on an execution for costs in favor
of B. G. Howe on the boundary line
matter between them which has been
bone of contention for some years.
AS matter explanatory, it may be
well here to say that Howe claimed the
line had been established in his favor
by court decision and that the bill of
costs was due him, while Cowdery
claimed that the boundary had not
been established, but that the matter
was still pending in the court. How
ever this may have been, Cowdery was
chucked into the lookup and it will be
hard work to make him believe that
it was wholly accidental that of the
two men who could release him, Sher-
iff SullOway happened to be in Penn
sylvania and Judge Ross in Massachu
sets. Mrs. SullOway could lock Cow
derry in but had no authority to let him
out. Judge Poland at once became his
surety on the bail-bond and by per-
sistent use of the telegraph Mr.. Cow
derry was released after day or two
imprisonment; but by the stipulations
of the bond he has only the liberty of
the Jail yard which in this case is linn
tied to the state line. Should he step
outside the state he would forfeit his
bond without remedy. The prisoner
naturally chafes under these restric
tions. He now sues Mr.. johnson for
false imprisonment OH the ground that
johnson had no authority to commit
him either by the execution itself or by
authorization.

A HEAVY PENSION.
A st. JOhnsbury Blind Soldier Gets over
$1,000 Back Pay.

$h,OOO back ray.
Attorney Elisha May has received no.
tice that an application made by him
for pension for Frederick Joslin, a
blind soldier of this place, has been
granted with pay allowed according to
disability since 1864. This amounts in
the aggregate to over $1l 900, with
$72 month hereafter. This is I'M
dOubtedly the largest amount of back
pay ever drawn by soldier in these
parts, and makes the blind beggar on
our streets one of the wealthiest men
in the Grand Army post.
Frederick Joslin is Il Canadian, COM
ing from Walton, Quebec. In 1868 he
was farm hand working for the Fair
bankses, and enlisted under Capt. E.
f. GriswOld i'm the Eleventh Vermont
regiment. This regiment was station
ed for many months in the forts about
Washington, and while there JOslin
contracted rheumatic trouble of great
severity. He was discharged the
service and went home to Canada in
"a. In 1870 he became suddenly and
totally blind, medical men asserting it
to be an effect of his rheumatic trouble.
Some two years or more ago JOslin
came to his place where he has been
supported by the Grand Army post
and other charity. Some ten years ago
Lawyer May applied for pension
for him, and is now the second hap
piest man in town at its successful
issue. People who now wish to make
Mr.. JOslin's acquaintance can leave
their cards at 60 Pearl street.

RECENT DEATHS.

WEBSTER Harry A. Webster died
at his fathers home in Irasburg yes
terday morning, after a lingering ILL
ness, at the age of about 25. Mr.. Web
ster was a clerk in the Fairbanks store
in this place for nearly three years.
He was the picture of health and man
ly vigor. In the spring of '85 he took
severe cold which settled into q
cough that he could not shake off. He
kept at his work however until last
January when he went to Southern
California, hoping that the climate
would be beneficial, but without avail,
and he returned to his fathers home
in the latter part of the summer where
he steadily declined until the end
came. By his gentlemanly bearing
and uniform courtesy Mr.. Webster
made many friends while living here,
and the large circle of young people in
which he moved will sincerely mourn
his premature death.
