BY
J.. b. JONES.
ProIlIbitiou.

The question Of prohibition is one
in which all our good citizens should
feel great interest and is one that is
being discussed more than it ever was
before. More actual benefit wou'd
result to mankind from the suppress
sion of the manufacture and sale OF
intoxicating Liquors than any one
thing we known Of and To- accomplish
it, il is not necessary 10 drag it into
politics; in fact, nn true friend Of
prohibition desires it. The Franklin
RepieW and JourRdl has II very Sensi
BILE article on tins subject 1t says
that the pr hibition question in Tn-
nessee is a very live and in eresting
one. Fortunately ii is presented in
the most opportune shape. Discon-
nected from politics in any way, it is
to be tried purely aud simply upon
its merits us practical and moral
question. All that will be asked of
politicians, or rather of candidates for
the General Assembly, next year will
he as to their willingness to submit
the proposed prohibition amendment
TO vote Of the people, separate and
apart from all other elections or
questions. We predict it will be hard
to find man in the next General
Assembly who will hesitate to answer
and vote atfiirmatively on the pro.
position to submit the question to a
popular vote. So that seems almost
absolutely certain that the question
will be fairly tested at the ballot-box
stripped Of all party or political com
binations. We say it is fortunate
that the matter is thus shaped ur
in Tennessee, II prohibitionists ar,
wise, they will appreciate the van
playground they occupy under Thu
condition Of things, and not press tn,
question farther upon either OF tn,
political parties OF the State than t,
secure committsl from them to tn,
doctrine Of submittal as above indi
Gated. We predict that both partie
will cheeriully and sincerely agree t,
this. That done, and the proposed
amendment submitted to the arbit
rament of the ballot-box, the work, s.
far as legislation is concerned, is nc
complished until after the direct vot
is had. 1t is not necessary-indeed,
would be iniurious-for friends Of tn
cause to demand more at present @
either political party; and it would b
hurtful and weakening to the caus
for either party to go farther in thei
declarations than simply to express
sincere willingness and purpose t
submit the question. --SklbvviHe Com

The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1886-03-18

The West Tennessee Wing, in no
ticing a lengthy article on prohibit
ton from the New York Sun, says
"1f we read correctly the signs of
the times, tidal wave of prohibition
is fast approaching, which will not
only be felt in our municipal, county,
and State elections, but that will take
in the nation itself in its broad sweep.
The question in this State is already
looming up, and in the early future
will prove an important factor in our
politics. y Humboldt Messenger
Ignore it those who may, the pro-
hibition question is assuming pro-
portions that command respect No
candidate for legislative honors can
shirk or evade it. The alarming
increase of whisky has caused the
people TO think, and think seriously.
Something must be done to stay the
tide OF immortality and lawlessness
that is sweeping over our land, carry
ing desolation and death in its course.
Every daily paper that comes to our
table is ladened with the accounts OF
the effects Of whisky. You can
didates for the Legislature, remember
the people will have no straddling
no evasion. Unless you be willing
to face the question they will pro-
pound, you will not receive their sup
port. Here is the leading question :
Do you favor the submission of the
people as to whether they want an
amendment to the State Constitu-
ton forever prohibiting the man
ufacturs am. sale OF intoxicating
liquors in the State? Are you will
ing to leave the question to the peo-
pie? Unless you give reply to these
questions, your political race will be
short and your political grave be deep.
No party plea will save you from po-
lititical death and damnation if you
ignore and insult the voice of the peo-
pie. The Messenger feels to announce
its allegiance to Democracy, but il
realizes the fact that oftentimes non
political issues most powerfully af-
feet the welfare OF the country.--[ Fay
etteville Observer.
The prohibition sentiment in this
county is very strong one, and its
advocates derive great satisfaction
from the fact that it was voted ont oil
the county in which Atlanta is located
Some people--and they are not few
claim that were the question sup
mitted, at the present time, to the
people TO pass upon at the ballot-box
they would vote it out Of Lincoln
county-and the signs Justify the
assertion. There may be others but
we do not know Of saloon in the
corporate limit OF Fayetteville, and
we know from observation that there
has boon terrible falling Off in the
whisky business in this place in tile
past few years. A few days since we
heard the proprietor of one OF our
saloons complaining, who said he
would have to quit business ii it did
not improve. It will be great day
for temperance when Lincoln Coun-
(which has been branded on
every barrel Of whisky distilled in the
adjacent eouniies--shall aid in ham
ishing It from the State. and this
seems more tAan prohable.
