Drought Stricken People.

Rev. John Brown, of Albany, Tex.
as, has arrived in Chicago to presene
the needs of the peoplein the drought
stricken region of that State. HIT
says that a scope of territory, 800
miles wide and 500 miles long, is
totally destitute, no rain whatever
having fallen the past year and the
crops being an entire failure, and
there are fully 100000 families re-
quiring immediate relief. A recent
rain has rendered the land in good
condition for the fall sowing, and, if
the seed is not sown soon, the season
will have passed. Mr.. Brown is try
ing to raise a sufficient amount to
give seed to the farmers. They estl-
mate that it will require rs 600 bush
els of wheat and 10000 bushels of
corn and oats. The Chicago Board
Of Trade has taken steps looking to
relief of sufferers.

Prohibition or License.

Which has been best enforced?
Read the answer in the following
statistics from the court records.
During five years of prohibition
there have been seventy eight prose
cutions, and Of these there have been
convictions in one out of every six
cases, Q3). While during nine years
of license there were one hundred
and thirty-two prosecutions, and con-
victions were obtained in only one
case out of thirty, (5).
Where is the remedy promised in
voting for license?

A Strong Bulwark of the Liquor
Trade.

We believe there is but one sentiment
In regard to the evils resulting from
the Drink habit. All unite in agreeing
that the blessings would lie manifold
if there were no spirituous liquors sold
or drank. Then the most rational
thing, it would seem, would be to dis
countenance the habit by every means
available. But right here the cash of
opinions commences. Those who d }
not deny its evil effects. but who caring
little for the welfare of the community,
desire to sell liquors because it is an
easy business conducted, and brings
in ready cash with comparatively small
Investment of capital, use the plausible
theory that people wW have whiskey
and laws prohibiting the traffic cannot
be enforced: with much more sophistry,
which though very shallow reasoning,
it is quite matter of surprise the
large number of we'll meaning, and
steady protesting temperance people
are influenced by these arguments
(if the term can be allowed) of the
people who love easy acquisition of

Who are They?
E. E. EWING, SEC'Y.

The Democratic County convention
held at Elkton last week passed the
following resolution:
Resolved, That this convention
appreciates the discomfort throughout
the State among the rank and file of
the voters on account OF the personal
dictation of men who occupy official
station in the State, and on behalf of
the Democrats of Cecil county, we
declare that we are unalterably OPP
posed to bossism in the State as we'll
as in the county.

money more than the welfare of their
fellow men.
1t is not the men who engage in the
grog traffic that are the greatest obstac-
les to the enforcement Of. prohibition
laws, but the soft hearted, timid souls,
who shrink from the bold, au lacious
speech of the whiskey party AMI ac-
cept their defiant assertions as weighty
reasoning. The weak kneed,' "tend.
erfooted " pulling Temperance people
who shrug their shoulders and shake
their heads, while ringing the charges
on the declarations Invented for their
use by the Drink advocates, are the
ones who protect and shield the violat-
ors of prohibition laws from a large
measure of punishment. These des pair
ing sentiments of the lukewarm, make
public opinion, behind which the grog
party shelter themselves, while they
persist in violating the laws, and on all
occasions repeat the falsehood that pro
hibition laws do not prohibit, and are
dead letters on the statute books, etc.
We entreat temperance people to cease
repeating these Shallow sophistries. in
vented by the enemy on purpose to de-
ceiye superficial minds, and aid in
strengthening public sentiment for eff
fective work, by declaring that prohibit
tionlaws can and shall be enforced.

The Question of Paramount Interest

The election in this county this fall
as far as choosing man to vote yes"
and emo" in Congress will be Of com
parativey little interest TO voters
and the people generally.
The bosses have all that fixed up
months ago, through the means placed
in their hands by the whiskey element
that has been virtually controlling our
politics for years. The bosses promise
the rum power to keep hands off Oft as
far as possible, and the whiskey infiu-
ence, the other high contracting party
agrees to put and keep the political
bosses in power over the people, and
this is the history of our politics for
years. The long suffering people have
grown tired of this arrangement, and
are making determined efforts every
where to break this com binatiOu which
have ensIaved them, and our part in
the work at the approaching election is
to place our amended prohibition
county law on a solid basis; and fol-
low that step up by electing officers
who will manifest some degree of zeal
in its enforcement. This is the work
Immediately before US. and to the &C
complishing of which we must bend
every energy.
Looking to this end Primary meetings
have been called in every election dist
riot of the county, and county con-
vention will meet at Elk on on tie 18th
inst. to perfect an organization for the
purpose of making concerted effort to
firmly establish the amended Prohibi-
ton law by heavy majority. Every
man who admits that the whiskey traf-
fic is a great evil. and should be abol-
isbed If 1t is possible, is morally bound to
aid in establishing the law by his vote
in the affirmative in November. Pub
