Col. Hoy's Line.

Col. j. F. Hoy and wife stopped in
Cecil last week on their way from
Baltimore to Philadelphia to assist
in the prohibition canvass in Penn
sylvania- Col. Hoy has been in the
work for 19 years and is entitled to
the honors Of veteren Mrs. Hoy
sings at her husbands entertain
ments-for such his temperance ora
tions are-and is a very accomplish
ed singer.
While in the county Col. Hoy
spoke at Zion and other places, and
all who heard him pronounced him
one OF the hest speakers they ever
heard on the subject of temperance,
or the abolition of the whiskey traf-
fic. He draws a line as tangible be-
tween the rum party and prohibit
tionists As the MASON and Dixon
line'' was between slave and free ter
ritory. On one side of the line he
places the religious, the moral, the
Industrious, the frugal, the philan-
thropic. the laborers in the cause of
education, the men of science, the
men Of learning; and on the other
side of that line he places the turbu-
lent, the outlaws, the gamblers, the
licentious, the anarchist, the Sabbath
breaker, the thieves, prize fighters,
the profane, the murderers, the gross,
the men of brutal Instincts, and the
young men of hope and promise
whose ambition is to rise in the
world and become distinguished and
honored by their fellow men, are
asked to choose which side they will
stand on. If you stand with the
license saloon you must stand
amongst that crowd on the dark side
of the line, the companion of thieves,
gamblers and their congenial COM
panions. This forbidding crowd in,
variably favor license and the saloon,
qualified it may be with many excus.
es for their choice, some plausible
and others that do not rise to the
merit of decent apology.

The Woman With Tears in Her
Voice.


On Saturday evening last quite a
large audience of women and men,
boys and girls assembled at R;s ing
Sun to hear Mrs. Martin plead for
prohibition and the banishment of the
saloon. Her whole soul is enll listed in
the work aud her earnest pleadings
Cor safety to young men and young
girls from the d estroying hand of the
saloon, moved all within sound of that
fearful voice which goes out from the
speaker like wall of distress, be-
seeching The voters to save these in
nocent ones from the destroyer. Her
power lies wholly in her entreating
and beseeching manner to strike the
demon rum at the ballot box. Mrs.
Martin makes no attempt at elo
quence. but the earnest, beseeching
words pour forth in one unbroken
torrent. Her speech was very
effective appeal to vote 'no-license"
on Tuesday next, and to not only
vote, but take others to the polls to
vote the same and swell the majority
against rum.
Mrs. NJ. was late in reaching the
meeting. having missed the first train,
and did not reach the Sun till after
8 o'clock.
The meeting was organized by
calling Squire Taylor to the chair,
who introduces Mrs. Martin.
Thomas Waring read the "Saloon
Keepers Advertisement" and Mrs.
Martin the saloon keepers threat
against ministers and others in Chi
cago. serving notice on them, that
they might expect assassination and
the confagration of their churches if
they continued to wage war on the
whiskey traffic.
Mrs. Martin closed the meeting
with a very fervent and impressive
prayer, which apparently exerted a
powerful influence over her audience.
following a speech as fervent and be.
seeching. Her canvass of the county
this week cannot fail to exert pow
erful influence in favor of a no-license
vote.

Such were the last words of John B.
Cough the illustrious champion of Temper
ance Reform, as the fell destroyer Death
closed in upon him, at ine when on the
platform he was lighting the rum traffic.
After years of debaucaery and crime he
became reformed and the rest of his life was
deyoted to the great work, it was his daily
study and constant occupation, hence he
certainly understood his subject.
What words could have been more fit
ting to have closed the last scenes of his

Make clean Of Inconsistency, that curse
which blights tke reputation and influence
of man among men and reduces them to
insigniicance. Few who vote ''For Lii

of any one to startIa saloon Few who vote
"For License are willing to go on the
bond of a saloon keeper. Few who vote
"For License" are willing to have saloon
started next door to the home of their fam
lily. None who vote 'iFor Licensen are
willing to send their boys to the saloons as

baths. ct to be consistent you should be
willing to sign applications, for some one is
required by the law to dosso. You should
go on their bonds for some one is required
to do it. You should have it next door to
you because if you do not, it will encroach
upon some friend or neghbor who unlike

BID for the Democratic Convention.
The Democratic State Central Com
mittee will meet in Virginia City on
June 18th to name the time and place
for the State Convention and appor-
ton delegates to the same. The Sill
yer State thus sets forth the claims
of Winnemucca, as the most eligible
place for holding the Convention, with
reasonable hopes that they vii! be
recognized. 1t is halfway between
the east and west, and the expenses OF
delegates for fares will be about the
same from Elko, Eureka. White Pine
and Lander in the great East, as from
Woshoe, Storey, .Ormsby, Douglas.
Churchill and Esmeralda in the West,
while they will be less for those from
Lincoln and Nye. In justice to all the
Convention should therefore be held
in Winnemucca. The town has first
class and ample hotel Accommodations,
a good hall for convention purposes,
the purest water. and what may be OF
mere consequence to Democratic
Convention, the best "so2a water in
the State, and now that its trees are
in full foliage it will be refreshing for
Comstockers and Austinites, White
Piners and Elkoites tn loiter in their
shade and exchange notes ON the stu
alton. Besides it should be borne in
mind that no State ticket ever nOmin-
ated in Winnemucca was defeated.
When the Republicans nominated
their State ticket here it was elected,
and when the Democrats held their
State Convention here the State went
Democratic for Presidential Electors,
the first and only time in its history.
