Mr.. EDITOR In the vindictively
cOuched structures of last weeks
Democrat upon the policy and sup
porters of Local Option, one truth,
which those of your school of thought
reluctantly accept is made prominent
ly self-evident-a man can be fanat-
ic out side of the Temperance domain.
To say the friends of temperance
either precipitated or desired this
special election is no less ridiculous
than to argue black is white or white
is black.
The origin and grooming advocacy
of this little bill, designed to lift the
flood-gates of dissipation over the
heads of a protesting people, are to-
day matters of record and need not be
dealt with in this brief notice. The
point is, will the independent man
hood submissively sanction so arbi-
trary measure and permit the ma
iority will to be strangled out by its
chosen defenders.

| before these courageous Onsets upon
the wind-mills Ofimagination in your
newspaper sanctum But listen
again: Man was placed upon this
earth and endowed by the Creator
with knowledge to judge between
GOOD and evil and with free will to
choose which to pursue and which to
shun." Now is it too much to say
that in this impetuous charge our
Knight breaks the lance of memory
upon the time-seasoned front of a
stubborn fact? If our Interpretation
of the sacred language is not at fault

was placed upon the fruit of a certain
tree, but erring humanity proved
even the heavenly mandate futile
with the temptation left in. reach.
Look once more: The Seventh
Commandment says, Thou shalt not
steal. This is news for hungry
readers. Such iutimation as is made
by the Democrat touching "the lords
OF creation" and 1.-THE weaker yes
sells" should cling as an endless stig-
ma to his pen and paper; and must
be repugnant to all, to see the noble
matrons and fair daughters of this old
commonwealth degraded in the lev

and money"
Can the Democrat mean all this as
sincere argument addressed to the
sober Judgment of its readers, or is all
flippantly thrown out as TESTING

lines:
When first on earth fair truth was born,
she crept into hunting horn;
The hunter came. the horn was blown,
And where truth wentwas never known.
No, Mr.. Democrat, we are not
hopeless fanatics, neither are we so
silly as to be duped by the whisper
that this liquor bill comes to us on
the white pinions Of sweet humanity
only to soothe the pangs Of the crying
baby. No. We believe that it will
augment rather than assuage mortal
griefs, and that poverty and anguish
and not prosperity and joy will follow
in its wake. Believing that, our
votes are against it. We further be-
lieve that it will ne both patriotic aud

cotton in the key-holes, and always wore
heavy furS when she went cut in winter.
The more she tried to guard against colds
the worse she grew till finally she had to

Then she turned over a new leaf. The

nuisance to sweep such cramped quarters

tightly closed. Then the mother wonders
why the baby should catch cold so easily
