SPYING OUT THE LAND.
Whisky Giants and Temperance
GrasShoppers.
DEAR FREEMAN

DEAR FREEMAN:
1t seems to me that these men
who are always objecting that "you
can't prohibit" are very much like
the ten of The twelve spies, whom
Moses sent up from the Wilderness
Of Paran to spy out the land of
Canaan. They go searching in
Iowa and elsewhere, and then bring
up 1.-The evil report of the land"
and tell about the saloon "giants"
and whisky men Of "great stature"
and how we are all las grasshoppers
ia their sight" So they "discour-
age the heart of the people" and not
8 few are led to say, ''Let US make US
sCaptain and let US return into"
the Egypt of License.
The only result Of such cowar-
dice and unbelief, if it could be sue
oessfui in discouraging the Prohi-
bitionists as q whole, would be to
turn us back into the "great and
terrible wilderness" of whisky,
ruin and desolation for another
generation.
But we believe that the brave
and faithful Calebs and Joshuas
will prevail ia this case. For there
is already great host of the peo-
pie with them, crying, "Let @s go
up and possess the tGssd, for zoe are
speU able to overcome 1t.
DR.. Herrick johnson is a good
Caleb, and there is a good Joshua
somewhere among the host who
will yet lead the Prohibition army
to victory, and at least subjugate
the whisky Canaanites, if he does
act sacceed in driving them entire
~ out of the land.
l might mention few of the
doubling ten, but it is not neces-
sarry. some of our leading relig-
ious newspaper editors are among
them. [ wish they would read
Mum bers, IL and l4th chapters. 1t
might lead them to emulate nobler
examples than what they do.

ED. FREEMAN To-day there
passed my window funeral pro-
oession with draped American
fags. The body was that of Cap.
tain Ralston, who committed sui
eide yesterday morning, February
9. For 20 years he was in the
Journal office and much of that
time foreman of the job room. Two
years ago he was dismissed for
drunkenness and started business
for himself He was in many re-
spects an excellent man, a great
friend of young men who were in
need Of help and would give the
last dollar" said young man to
me, -"to aid struggling man out OF
trouble" He was kind to his fam
lily and was very generally respect
ed as a man.
But in fit of delirium he cut
his throat in his own sleeping
room, about 7 o'clock. A saloon
keeper who would destroy as noble
a manhood as his, ought to have
every pure and sacred place closed
against him forever.
Two-thirds Of the American peo-
pie have become hardened by the
frequent recurrence of such TRACE
dies and seem to forget them in a
few hours after they occur. This,
more than anything else, shows the
benumbinx influence OF the liquor
traffic upon the sens:bilities and
conscience of our people.
The Ohio Legislature can do no
business as matters now are, and l
doubt whether the question of the
liquor traffic finds any solution this
scar: II there had not been pub
IL saloon IN Cincinnati, none of
this trouble would exist.
Around the saloon, perjury,
fraud, and ballot box-stuffing grow
as naturally as toadstools grow on
q dunghill.
Ten miles from this city, at the
village of Osburn, on the D. & M.
railroad, a wonderful revival is pre-
vailing. Eugene Staley, an ex-
policeman of this city, and q re-
formed drunkard, has been con-
Quoting the services. Up TO this
time 140 persons have been con,
verted. Il. w.
