A New Volume.

The present number of the MID
LAND JOURNAL, commences new
volume Of the paper. This is, there
fore, the initial number of the ninth
volume of the paper under different
forms and different names. It has
worked its way from small and feeble
beginnings to its present vigorous
and sturdy growth. and proposes to
keep steadily on in the work of sup
porting ard encouraging every i'm
provement and reform that tends to
the betterment Of the people who
make up the community in which the
JOURNAL lives. There is no other
educator equal in power and influence
to the newspaper which steadily re.
minds the public of the duties which
they are called upon to perform;
which commends or censures without
partiality or fear, as it passes in re.
view, the current events that make
mp the web of life which rolls on from
day TO day in ceaseless, never end
ing stream.
1t is the direct and indirect inter.
est of community to sustain and
encourage the paper published IN their
midst. And as community improves
and advances in education, in morals,
in material wealth, the Importance
and necessity of the local press is
more strongly felt. There is period
in the progress of every neighborhood
when the necessity of home paper
is felt to be an indispensable neces-
sity, when it ceases to be classed
among luxuries or indul gences that
may be dispen sed with, and becomes
link in the great life chain which
cannot be severed without njuring the
whole framework Of business and
society. And we propose from week
to week, to make the MIDLAND Jour
NAL more and more necessary to the
we'll being and happiness of the com.
munity of which it is part, as the
days and months glide along.

The amended local option law makes
it an Oflense to sell anything that will
intoxicate. and the penalty term in
the House of Correction" The pres.
ent law allows saloon keepers to make
paople drunk on cider" hence they
call every drink cider. The penalty
for violating is 80 days in Jail.
In the former it will be easy to
prove the offense and the punishment
is severe. In the latter it is difficult
to prove the offense AMI the punish
ment is almost nothing. IA

The mechanic and farmer produce
something useful and necessary. The
shopkeeper and grocer give something
valuable in return for your money.
But the keeper of a grogshop sells a
man only that which pulls him down,
robs him of his manhood, DESTROYS his
body and damns his soul. He is par
asite, living on the lawful resources of
the country. Every dollar spent for IL
quor robs by so much the legitimate
industries of the community. A vote
to license its sale is vote to sustain
this destroying business.

is permitted to prowl. and millions
of property laid waste. Fattened and
made bold and strong and more i'm
pudenS by feasting on blood and
tears, this Saloon Wolf has seized
upon the strongholds of the people,
and made his lair in legislative halls,
where his growl intimidates the
guardians of the peoples liberties,
threatening them with speedy de-
struction if they attempt to restrain
his voracious appetite In all ofour
large cities he has made his den in

behind the judges bench, where his
growl paralyzes the arm of justice,

dustry of it's millions. The jails
and penitentiaries are every where
filed with MANNED victims of this
Saloon Wolf. He has not only rent
the family circle and wasted neigh
borhoods, but is threatening states
and the whole nation with his de-
structive fangs. Office seekers. and
servants of the people every where
tremble at his growl, and
cringe and apologize and betray
their trust to the people in terror of
this savage Saloon Wolf. He con
fronts the leaders of the two great
political parties, and our great states
men tremble at the sight of his teeth
and his threatening growl.
Shall this enemy to home, country,
prosperity, happiness, industry, ev.
erything most dear and sacred, be
endured longer, or be met only by
the feeble resistance which has been
made to his bold aggressions in the
past? Or shall the whole people, as
one man, rise while they yet have
strength remaining to 1end and cast
out from their midst this savage,
bloody beast?
Let US begin the war in dead ear
nest by dealing the Wolf a death
blow in our county this fall and fol-
low the warfare up till he is exter-
minated. No truce or compromise
can be made with the Saloon Wolf
which he respects for moment. He
will fight to the death. One of his
lying truces is high license with
which he decoys many unsuspecting
people to his den. While this Wolf
lives he will carry on his bloody
work. It is mans implacable en-
eny and the two cannot dwell in
peace on the same planet. The Sa-
loon Wolf can only prosper in an at
mosphere that is death to man and
all his noblest aspirations. Let us
slay and cast out this Saloon Wolf!

The Saloon Wolf.

The wolf is the emblem of wanton
destruction, of relentless mischief,
of implacable cruelty, of the tireless,
persistent pursuit of innocence. 1t
is covert and treacherous; "wolfin
Sleeps clothing is the boldest figure
of treacherous hypocrisy. His at.
tacks are chiefly directed against
the lamb, the most innocent
and inoffensive of animals.
There is no animal SO emilia
matte of the saloon as the insatia-
BILE wolf. The attacks of the saloon
are especially directed against the
innocent, unsuspecting youth, as the
VOLTS is against the lambs. The
wolf scatters and Stays whole flocks
to satisfy a single appetite, 50 the
saloon carries dismay. death, pow
elty, and desolation to whole famil-
les to satisfy the cArnal appetite of a
single man. But not moiety of the
destruction caused by the saloon,
accrues to the destroyer's benefit
The saloon like the wolf COM
mits its greatest depredations under
the cover of night. When the shep
herd is asleep the fold is invaded,
and the field left covered with the
slain. So when the mother, the
shepherdess of her flock the guard,

Wolf is busy with his temptations
and death, and the fond parent is
awakened with heart breaking news
that lamb of her flock has been
seized by the Saloon Wolf, and drag

The savings of years of industry
and frugality are quickly scattered
by this Saloon Wolfifhe is permitted
to make his lair in a neighborhood,
and the Saloon, like the VOLTS den
has nothing to show for the vast de-
struction it causes.
The devouring fangs of this Sa-
loon Wolf have not been stayed in
their desolating work when the fam.

end o. woman is not to marry young" Ii

much less misery in the world than there
now is. To be sure they might not have
so many opportunities to marry as before,
but as they do not Iced to marry but one

if she thinks at all. she certainly
becomes more capable of judging what
would make her happy than when
younger. How many girls Of 20
would think of marrying the man they
would gladly have married at IS? At 80
Il woman who is somewhat independent
and not overanxious to marry, is much
harder to please and more careful IN her
choice than one at 20 There is good rea
son for this. Her mind has improved
with years and she now looks beyond
mere appearance il judging men, She
is apt to ask if this man who is so very
polite in company is really kind hearted
Do his polite actions spring from hap
py, genial nature. or is his attractive
demeanor put on for the occasion and
laid of at home as he lays of his coat?
A very Young girl takes it for granted
that men are always as she sees them IN
society--polite. friendly. and on their
good behavior If she marries early the

she learns to her sorrow that in nine cases
