''They are Coming"

The Union Signal of Chicago, says
that one of the oldest democratic papers
in the west, the Oquaka Spectator, has
come out squarely for prohibition, and
in so doing uttered these manly words:
believing that the prohibition by
law of the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors as beverage is Of
more Importance than any other ques-
ton now agitated in politics, and salts
fed that the democratic party Cat least
in the north) will do nothing for this
principle, we feel it to be our duty, as
protesting christian and temperance
man, to withdraw from that party, and
hearafter support prohibitionists for
Office. We therefore 80 over to the

The Presumption Repeal Dis
agreement.

1t is learned that an entire disagreement exists
between the committee of conference on the state
amendments to the bill repeating the presumption
timber culture and desert land laws. The house
conferrecs willing to concedc to the extent Of
validating entries, however fraudulent to the OK
tent of 40 acres provided the lands have been
sold to bona de settlers; also, that the rules in
force at the interior department at the time such
entries were made should apply to the entries.
The senate conferrees, however, refuse to concur
in this. The section OF the senate bill allowing
cash entries of offered land, is repudiated peremp-
torily by the house conferrees, but other dieren-
ces could be adjusted If the points above named
were reconcilcd. 1t looks as il this condition of
disagreement would cause the bill to fail at this
present session.

The theory advanced by the Repub-
lican, that the third party is too small
or weak to accomplish anything is to
thin to he advanced by intelligent men.
They probably DOM remember that the
republicans were very small at one
time and finally succeeded, and that by
drawing votes from another party and
causing the down fall of that party.
Why should they object so strongly to
in doing the same thing that they did.
They claimed to be championing a NOR
al cause. one that would liberatc great
mass of humanity. They claim that
the old parties were too slow in action
that they were insincerc and accused
them of working for party good only.
Haven't we the same rights they had?
Would they deter us in accomplishing
the same end on principle that is just
as great? Would they accuse us of
doing wrong when we champion cause
that ia just as moral and which will lib
crate great many more victims to
slavery than they did? The argument
s too thin.
We hope they will soon find some
thing stronger. IF they do not We are
afraid they are a goncr.-MePherson
