Local Option in the country.
Ediior oChe D.spalch :

TO the Editor Of the Dispatch
imagine that you would like to learn
what the plain, honest people in the
country think and say about local op-
ton. have heard several Of our best
citizens discuss the subject, and the
general belief Is that local option is a
practical measure IL the country and
would DO a great deal Of good there,
chiefly IN breaking up the little cross
road bars or saloons that are so hume
Ious in the country, and are doing in
m,nse mischief. hese country saloons
deal mainly in the cheap liquors, which
aye nothing more nor less than a vile
compound Of poisonous drugs that are
spreading death and destruction all
through the land. j. Is the trade IN
this vile stUiI that is doing most Of the
mischief. Why, You scarcely ever
see any other kind Of whiskey in these
country saloons. and Il is almost im-
possible TO procure a pure sample of
Whiskey in the country. 4 feS days
sgo | called TO see lady who was SUI
feting from consumption. She told me
that she had been taking cOd.hyes oil
and whiskey as remedy for her disease,
and that in order to get pute whiskey she
had TO send to Richmond FOX it; but,
happening 10 get out Of q supply, she
sent to one OF these saloons for some.
with en- order 10 send the best. 4
bottle Of It was gotten, but whea she
attempted 10 take some OF j. she found
it much discolored aud having a bad
taste. She took il and strained it
through some cloth, and there was a
considerable amount OF sediment left
on the cloth imposed Of trash tobacco.
This was their best, and the price was
fify cents for pint or four dollars per
gallon. The Government should strike
al the root Of the evil and, Il possible,
stop the manufacture Of this poisonous
stuff. Ii IS great crime; II Is murder;
for il sometimes kills. Not only so,
but The man who buys such stuff to
sell sgain, with full knowledge Of It's
character, is as guilty as the man who
makes it. The strong arm Of the law
should take hold Of these wicked men,
who in order to make money are thus
endsngering human life, if not destroy
ing il. Pure alcoholic liquors are a
good thing legiiimsiely made and legi,i-
nately used. They are absolutely in
dispsnsable in many ways and in
stances. and IL so some one must make
tbem and some one must sell them,
aud there is no harm in this;
but whilst II is the opinion Of our best
citizens that local option is practicable
in tie country, prohibition at least is
entirely imprsciieable in the cities;
and any attempt to enforce it in the
cities would ROT only prove 4 failure,
but would do great deal OF mischief.

An Answer To Temperance" anu
.XNN"

Ar Answer To Temperance aud
"XNX"
To the Editor Of the Dispatch
Please grant me space TO notice very
briefly two articles which have recently
appeared in your columns on the liquor
question. The first ore | wish to
call attention to is that signed " Tenn
perance," and having reference to the
work Of the saloon on Sunday. " Tenn
perance" says: ." never pass with
out seeing men and youths going into
the side-doors Of these establishments,
and on one occasion saw a group Of
young men trying to entice one OF
their number into one Of these sa-
Icons, and assuring him that they
knew how 10 obtain liqaor in these
establishments calling them by
nsm0 at any hour on sunday"
Then Temperance asks " II the po-
lice cannot enforce the law on one LAY
out Of seven, what right have we 10 ex-
pect enforcement Of Law prohibiting
The sale Of liquor on the other siX "
This question will attempt to ans wer
by asking another If we use six days
in the week for stimulating and cultiga-
ting the appetite for strong drink, what
right have we TO expect that tho thirst
will be restrained On the se7enth: An
other question I will ask Does not
Temperance " discern from bis own
statement Of facts that the liquor traffic
is a standing menace to The sabbath,
and tha. II We would preserve
the Sabbath we must destroy the
saloon: a third question / would
like to ask: il II Is a very bad thing
for 4 group Of young men 20 be eniicing
one OF their number into saloon at the
side-door on Sunday, Is 1t not very
bad thing for group Of young men to
be enticiug one Of their number lat0 a
saloon al The froni-d8or on the other Sax
days Of the week;
The other article ask permission 10
notice is the last Of "NAN." lie as
sumes 10 have proved tia, prohibition
in Maine has not at all diminished either
the Wholesale or retail traffic in liquor
that the Wholesale establishments have
their signs up over their entrances, and
that the retail establishments have their
United States licenses posted IN con-
spicuous places. That might DO very
well for some minds. Bat "AAN"
goes on in the next paragraph TO show
that prohibition in Richmond will drive
trade away, because persons 10 search
Of goods will pass o.r city by II
liquors cannot be purchased here.
This, TOO, might DO very well with /
some minds if taken alone but when
taken along with the other argument it !
knocks that al to pieces or IS knocked /
all to pieces BY il. The arguments for /
the liquor traffic are so contradictory |
and mutually destructive that al a!go- /
cate Of prohibition can ask no easier |
task than to take these argument, one !
in one hand and the other in the other, |
and knock their heads together and |
make them but one another brains I

Born Of the great political parties
are examining the presidential timber
on hand. The democrats have a
number of good men strongly backed
by admiring friends, but as it is too
early for them to look for Mr.. Cleve-
lands successor, but little push is
abseryeable in that quarter. The re-
cling about with the historical bee in
pubIicans too have manyaspirants dan
their head-gear, and as they are not
handicapped with an occupant of the
White House, it is interesting to
watch their antics. A well-informed
shrewd politician, accustomed to FORE
cast nominations, beats around The
bush after this manner:
rs Blaine,n he asks, "a candidate
for the Presidential nomination in
1883 ? is a question that is disturb
ing politicians of both parties no lit
tie. Nothing in the way of afirma-
tion or denial can be drawn either
from him or his trusted lieutenants,
but now and then something occurs
to indicate that the man of Maine is
vigilant observer of events 1t is
observed, too, that Stephen B. Elkins
that would-be President-maker, is be.
coming more active. It is safe to
count upon one thing, and that il, if
Blaine is not candidate before the
next convention be will have lively
finger In the nominating pie. He
will WELD power enough to prevent
the nomination Of an enemy. Sena-
torEdmunds may set up ell the pins he
can reach, but Blaine will knock them
down before the game begins. Lo-
gan, too, will encounter the relentless
antagonism Of Blaine. Sherman has
not earned the gratitude or friendship
Of the political Goliath Of the Pine
Tree State. Evarts was earnest in
bis support OF Blaine. and no doubt
the latter would return the favor
should the New York Senator get the
nomination. But. looking over the
entire feld' where is the man of all
others to whom Blaine is most likely
to throw the power Of his friendship
and influence in case be does not
