When travelling in Kansas y few
years ago since the adoption OF
Of the prohibitory amendment, the
editor took the trouble to ascertain
whether prohibition prohibited or
not, and he satisfied himself that 1t
did. Being a stranger, he went
where ever 1t was limited that IL
quor or beer was kept, and asked
for the real article itself and every
man denied that he kept the article
called for, but in a few towns 1t was
said, 1--WE have cold tea and sea
FOAM" Knowing US to be strang-
er they would not sell US whisky
or beer and we refused to buy tea
or sea foam, but 1t was only short
time that the tea and sea foam
dodge answered, as you cannot get
either now. One fellow who main
tanned that it could be had any
where, year or two after our first
trip when travelling through the
state by rail, was noticed as soon
as the train passed over into
Missouri, 10 step out of the coach
into saloon and was soon back
exhibiting his pint flask with the ex'
clamation, "We're in Gods country
now"

Badly Scared.

The Democratic politicians are
badly scared. They are using all
the pomp and show they can get
up to fog the voters. The Nashville
Union one of the democratic organs
at Nashville gives the alarm, and
says there is great danger of defeat,
as the anti submissiOnists and anti
Blair bill men are attempting to
run the party and drive out all the
Democrats who favor the aid of the
Government for Tennessee, and so
that it is with difficulty that a
Union can be secured. Scratching
will be the order of the day. Many
leading Democrats are not satisfied
with Bob Taylor,s position on the
tariff, Blair educational bill, &c;
that if his policy, if carried out,
would not be beneficial.

EIGHT MILLION.

States Senate has passed the bill
but the democratic House refused
to pass it last session. Now, what
we want is vote that will in

this state. If Bob Taylor is elected
it will be an instruction by the peo-

HOW TO VOTE.

We ask men Of both parties to go
10 the polls and vote for good men;
when they do that they are clear
and stand forth as honorable parti-
sans. There is no obligation on
any man to vote against his flnan-
cial or moral interests. A secret
ballot is given to protect the people
and every man is his own master
and should vote as freeman and
not as q slave.
But few men get to hold office;
therefore, the only pay men get for
being republicans or democrats is
the benefit derived from the adop-
tion Of such measures as will bene-
fit them in q financial, moral, edu-
cational, social, or civil way. With
these rights before us as free and
independent thinkers and actors,
the ballOt-box must become the
arbiter of mans rights and bless
ings. If advice becomes necessary
to intelligent action, the best men
should always be consulted. In
this way a free country becomes a
protector and not the instrument
in the hands of bad men for degra-
dalton. Let the people of Tennes-
see, before they 60 to the ballot
box, enquire of Themselves what
they need in case of the triumph of
either party, and then ask them
selves which one of the parties
will give us these benefits. thigh
erprices for labor is desired, if high.
er prices for grain, cattle, produce,
etc., is our object, ask whose policy
will bring us this. If greater facil-
tiles for educating our children is
the question, there it will be pru.
dent to inquire, how can this be
obtained without burdens in an in.
crease of taxation, money from the
government absolutely, or depend
upon the sale of public lands, and
If either Is desirable, enquire which
will accomplish the work best.

NO HOMES FOR THE POOR.

Bob Taylor favors selling govern
ment lands to get money to carry
on our schools. This would never
be done for the reason that the land
would have to be bought at once
by spectators, and this policy
would deprive poor men from get
ting homes, as it would all go into
the hands Of spectators, which is
against the policy of poor men. 1t
makes the rich richer and prevents
the poor from ever rising, or owning
a farm in the great West.

Major Wagner, who was appoint
ed pension agent by the President,
will hardly get the Office, as Sena-

he recommended him for the place.

gallant major was a member of the
State Legislature since the close
of the war. which charged Senator
Harris as guilty of treason, perjury
and theft and ordered his arrest
and for which Major Wagner voted,
When his application was made
Senator Harris did not know this,
but his appointment by the Presi-
dent brought out this action of his,
so that Harris has asked for a sus-
pension Of the appointment until
this charge can be examined into.
This will doubtless defeat the ma
jor. 1t is said that Wagner was a
gallant Federal officer. If that is
the case he ought not to have asked
the appointment from this admin
istration, with Harris in the Sem
ate.

turn against the interests of all the
people just for the sake of an Office.

sas, shows the desperation Of the
whisky men, and determines the
character of the men engaged in
the business. The class ofmen who
follow up the saloon interests, have
proclaimed from one part of the
land to the other, that prohibition
does not prohibit; but in localities
where the great work has failed, it
has deen found that the opposition
to, and violation of the law all
originated from the whisky men,
and where there is an effort made
to prohibit, as in the case of the
killing Of Rev Haddock, the reason
of the failure is apparent. In the
states where prohibition is the law,
the decrease in drinking and the
commission of crime Is so marked,
that the man who runs may read
and understand. The open saloons
now in these states are unknown;
whisky can only be had in dark
cellars, entered through dark alleys
or back ways, and mostly at night.
Instead of lawless mobs, drunken
excitement, there Is the most or
derby conduct amongst the people.

and provide a Christian summer home
for all.
The assembly is worthy OF all homer and
support. 1t owns, near the little town
OF San Marcos, beautiful tract of noun
tain land, which has been much adorned.
Sparkling fountains and clear lakelets
please the eye, while giant trees, covered
with gray moss, spread a refreshing shade
around. The assembly, though only one
year old, has made great advances They
have a vast tabernacle capable of seating
1000 or more people. Here lectures on
all subjects, literary, scientific and re-
ligious, are had. Many tents
and some cottages have been
erected on these grounds and the attend.
