DOES PKOHIRITION Prohibit?

There has been SO much of ridicule
and Misrepresentation with regard to
the actual working and results of the
Prohibition movement, by those who
fear its effect upon the two great politi-
cal parties, and especially in west,
that it is worth while examining an ac-
tual estimate Of the situation from one
of its advocates. Mr.. l.. M. Latham
of Marion, Iowa, furnishes such an es-
innate to the New York E9ening Post,
which journal, with characteristic fair
ness, gives it space In its columns, al
though opposed to the movement. MIR.
Latham claims, in subtance, that, de-
spite occasional defeats, the movement

THE liquor traffic, far more than all
other sources of mischief combined,
makes war-deadly war-upon the
homes of the people. Wherever it
comes the homes of the people are
blasted as by a condagration, leaving
only blackened and charred ruins to
show where it had passed. Its entire
influence is to replace prosperity, thrift,
industry, happiness, by idleness, pow
erty, wretchedness, and ruin. Its in
fluence is to change good citizens into
bad ones industrious, happy workers
into idle, vicious vagabonds, tramps,
thieves to change strong, willing help
ers in every good work into the ruined
villains who live bv preying upon So
ciety, winning their bread by violence
and outrage, in every degree of atrocity,
committed against the property and
persons of others. All this, and great
deal more, comes inevitably from the
liquor traffic. Is there any intelligent
man who thinks that such tremendous
evil as this should be tolerated in society
unless some corresponding good comes
from it? What good comes from it
can anybody answer?

THE MAN FROM MAINE.

Mr.. Blame has received grand ora
ton in Pennsylvania this week, and
which only afford fresh evidence of the
deep hold he has upon the masses of
his party. In noticing the magnificent
reception given him in Philadelphia,
that most impartial journal of its time.
The Ledger is constrained to admit !:
The outpouring of great masses OF
people on Saturday was a tribute TO
Blaine of Pennsylvania, more than to
the statesman from Maine, and far
more than to either it was in honor of
tine most popular living chief on the
rolls Of the Republican party of the
United States. There is no room for
mistake about the spontaneity of the
movement or the genulncness OF tine
enthusiasm any more than there is
about the magnitude of the three as
semblages-in the Academy, in Horti
cultural Hall, and that which packed
Broad street for several squares. 1t is
true there had been a good deal of
heralding and advance advertising, but
such demonstrations as that which
greeted MIR. Blaine cannot be brought
out by any artificial means. 1t was
spontaneous homage to the man by
vast numbers of his fellow Republicans
and others who believe in him as a
leader and statesman n, and who are fond
of him and proud of him as an Ameri-
can and as the most eloquent spoKes
man Of the Republican party. No
living statesman of any party has at
this time the magnetic attractiveness or
the hold upon the heart of the pcpu
lace that Mr.. Blaine has. Mcclellan
had it in his day. The same electrical
effects were produced by his mere
presence anywhere, and in the prime
of manhood of the fathers of the pres
ent generation of active men it was
possessed by Henry Clay among the
Wings and by Jackson among the
Democrats. Later on the same pow
erful hold in popular regard was pos
SeSSeu ny DOtn LlnCOln dnH Nrdnt Dut
this was result of far different inhu-
ences from those which gav- their mag
netism to Jackson, Clay and Mcclellan,
and give now to Blaine. And indeed,
it was not until after Lincoln's death
that the exalted patriotism Of the Presi-
dent, and the inherent greatness of
soul of the man, got full response from
the hearts of the people and it was
not until General Grant had ceased to
be President, and was entirely devoid
of official prestige, that the strong and
universal popular sense Of his vital ser
vices to the country-to all the coun-
try, South as well as North-expressed
itself with full force.

is winning its way to reasonable sue
cess /; that the "open saloon," as COM
pared with three years ago, IS practically
non. existent, and boys, if no other
class, are better protected from its
temptations than ever before. There
is marked decrease in crime arising
from drinking, as shown by the police
reports of all the large cities and towns
while this is less marked in the river
towns, where there is a large foreign
element, the popular estimation is that
such crime is only about one tenth of
what it was in the davs OF the licensed
saloon.
The order and sobriety which now
characterize large gatherings, as at fairs
circuses, etc, are so marked as to ex-
cite comment, and employers of rail
road hands indorse the Iowa Prohibi-
tory law on business grounds. A men,
Der of the firm of Shepherd, Weston &
Co., heavy railroad contractors, is
quoted as saying:
We never had such quiet, indus
trious, and reliable body of men IN our
employ as those we put to work on the
Sibley extension, and | attribute it to
the fact that the saloon men did not
dare follow US into Iowa. | want to
say further that if Prohibition comes up
in our state Minnesota Pm going to
vote tor it OH strictly business prlnci-
piles.
a great impetus has been given to
the movement by the cold blooded as
sassination of the Rev. MIR. Haddock,
one of the most prominent and active
of those engaged in the enforcement of
the law and in pushing the prosecution
of its violators. 1t has fastened stigma
upon the saloon interest and party as
one which employs assassins and uses
murder as means to its ends, and has
aroused the determination of the friends
of temperance to more rigid enforce
ment of the law, closer watch upon
its violations, both open and secret, and
speedier adjustment of the penalties
when parties are proven guilty.
To the argument that It is impossible
to legislate people into virtue, sobriety,
and other moral qualities, the prohibi-
tionists reply that law which "restrains
men from moral and physical degrada-
ton, protects homes, and rescues un-
numbered children from pauperism and
crime is far better than tlagrant disobe-
dience and unquestioned indulgence of
personal liberty
In short, the question, Does Prohi-
bition prohibit? is emphatically answer
ed in the affirmative by this observer of
its practical operation CHICAGO Nt'srS.
