WHY a PROHIBITION Party :

r EDITOR TRAKsCR1PT:-1nm my last article
l showed that both the Republican and
Democratic parties, in their national plat
forms, are opposed to Prohibition. 1t
is my purpose now to show that the Re-
publican party in Minnesota is hostile to
Prohibition also. 1t IS not necessary now
to argue that the Democrats of Mime
sofa are true to their ti-Prohibition
creed, because they are in minority,
and cannot carry their principles into
effect by legislation. But the Repu5ll-
can party has an overwhelming majority
in the state, and is alone responsible
for legislation. Let us sec then what
is their attitude on this question. On
Sept. II, 1857, the Republican party of
Minnesota adopted the following reso-
luton as part of their state PLATFORM:
"Resolued, That the habits and Gus
tomsof the people cannot be abridged
by prohibitory or sumptuary laws. and
that the legislature cannot interfere
with such habits and customs, without
transcending the legitimate sphere of
the legislative power"
And 50 far as know, this IS still the
doctrine Of the Republican party of Min
neseta. Who ever heard of the party
repudiating it? And yet hundreds of
good men, who claim to be Prohibitionists,
swallow that platform. No man can be
a Pr0hibitionist and vote the Republi-
can ticket in Minnesota. That propo-
sition is selfevident.
And it Is a we'll known fact that the
legislature has refused to allow the peo-
pie of this state to vote on a prehlbitory
amendment. understand there were
only fifteen Republican members to vote
for submission. And perhaps it is not
so we'll known, but fact nevertheless,
that last winter the W. G. T. U. of this
state tried to have a bill passed provid-
ing for the teaching in the public schools
of the effects of alcohol on the human
body and brains, and when it was op
posed by a friend of the saloons, there
was not solitary Republican legislator
in the House to raise his voice in sup
port of it. How can temperance men
consistently support such a party as that?
Come out from among them and be We
separate" and vote your principles.

WHEN a member of congress dies his

WHEN a member of congress dies his
pay ceases on the day of his death. The
salary of the successor commences the
day after the decease of the former mem
Der. though the election may not occur
for several months. The new member,
in other words, draws pay for the time
he never served. A member is allowed
20 cents mileage each way, or 40 cents a
mile one way. and he can check for the
full amount of both trips when he takes
his seat. He is allowed $125 a
year for stationery. The most of this
sum is pocketed. The members draw
their money in different ways. There
are probably twenty of the present house
who let their salaries run into ncst-eggs.
Among these are Scott and Everhart of
Pennsylvania, Powell of Illinois. Boutelle
of Maine. Henley of California, Jones,
Stewart and Reagan of Texas. Ellsbury
of Ohio, Stone of Massachusetts,. and
Wakefield of Minnesota. Scott has q
years salary owing him-about $4,000.

a Gentle StIpnuIuo

Is impaired to tho kidneys and bladder by
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which is most
useful in overcoming torpldity OF these
organs. Besides infusing more activity into
them. this excellent tonic endows them with
additional vigor. and enables them the bet
ter to undergo the wear aud tear Of the dis
charging function imposed upon them by ma
ture. Moreover, as they are the channels for
the escape of certain impurities from the
blood. increase their usefulness by strength
ening and BEAUTIFULLY stimulating them.
In certain morbid conditions Of these i'm
portant organs, they fail into sluggish
state. which is the usual precursor of disease.
What then can be of greater service than q
medicine which impels them to greater &C
tivity when slOthful? No maladies are more
perilous than those which affect the kidneys
and q medicine which averts the peril should
be highly esteemed.
