A National Spree.

A special telegram from Milwaukee to
The Chicago Inter Ocean. dated June %,
says great quantities of Milwaukee beer
found its way to Chicago during the
week, a single brewery shipping in one
day thirty-fve car loads by one road. 1t
is said that the aggregate shipments of the
week from Milwaukee to Chicago was 500
car loads more than the shipments for the
week previous and reckoning 1875 barrels
as car load, the total extra amount of
Milwaukee beer consumed in Chicago
equals 62, 500 barrels or 5000, 900 quarts
At $S per barrel, the wholesale price to
the brewers. 100000 represents the
money in the pockets of Milwaukee brew
ers on account of the Republican conven-
ton and it's friends. To carry the calcu-
lation step further, the profit Of Chicago
saloon keepers on the convention Mil
waukee beer, allowing profit per barrel
of $12, is $3.50,
The Democratic convention drank nearly
as much IN proportion to the time it con-
tinued. And these are the men who
shape the destinies of nation of 60, OOO,-
900 of people!

Our White Rose Emblem.

Miss Willard made one of her happiest
suggestions when she proposed the white
rose as the symbol Of the Prohibition
party in this campaign. The Democrats
will display red roses and firt red bandan-
mas. The Republicans will perhaps carry
log cabins or hard cider mugs and wave
the bloody shirt. Let all Prohibitionists
be known by the white rose, emblem of
purity and truth Every Prohibition
leader at the great Metropolitan opera
house meeting wore a white rose. Miss
Willard herself had one in her corsage
Prohibitionists everywhere should adopt
the emblem. With white rose and white
ribbon wen conquer by and by.

Law DefyinC Traitors

The Brewers Journal gloats over the
fact that the sworn officers of law are ter
rorized into submission to the saloonists
The following extract from that journal
shows how the boycott has been applied
IN Rhode Island:
"a boycott against the chief OF the
utate police of Rhode Island, Edward F.
Curtis, who has been conducting the cam
paign against the liquor people, has come
to light. The pressure has been brought
to bear in such way that it has been
most effective, and at the same time the
promoters are entirely unknown. Chief
Curtis for many years has carried on bust
ness at the old Roger Williams Touring
mill in Providence. Some large firms had
corn and grain constantly ground at his
mill When the anti-liquor crusade be-
came furious and Curtis men were Selling
hundreds of dollars worth of prohibited
goods the boycott was adopted as mode
OF retaliatory warfare. Last month Cur.
tbs began to wind up his business. The
trade has generally died away" How
long are Americans to bear this open dis
regard for law?

THE CHlLDREN'S CRUSADE.
The Demorest Medal Contests and the
Prohibition Party.


The New York state committee did a
wise thing when they arranged gold
medal contest as one of the attractions
and special features of their state con-
vention.
These contests are being held all over
the Union, and their efficiency in creating
Prohibition sentiment and bringing re-
cruits to the Prohibition party is being
proven beyond any further question.
The New York contest at Syracuse was
participated in by nine young ladies and
gentlemen, and seldom has such eloquent
defamation fallen from the lips of youth
full orators as that which was heard on
that occasion All did well, but the grand
gold medal was awarded to Miss Lillian
Kershaw, of Fairport. Honorable men
ton was made of Miss Rosa NJ Haas, of
New York city.
On May o, 1886, the first medal contest
was held in New York city, Since that
date 1884 medals have been used in the
work. 1t may be interesting to medal
contest workers to know where these gifts
have been distributed Three hundred
and twenty remain in New York state, 1853

What Are You Going to Do About 1t?

There is somewhat of a parallelism be-
tweet the history of the rum power and
of the slave power. And we have no
doubt that the parallel will be carried out
still further i'll the future and that the
aggressiveness and the desire for DONNA
ton on the part of the rum power to be
the immediate cause of it's overthrow
The moral sentiment of the people was
opposed to slavery, as it is to rum
traffic. All that is needed to rouse
the really inimical, but inactive, masses
of the nation is continuance Of
the rum power in it's present line of ac-
ton. All it has to do is to continue its
defiance of the Sunday and other laws
which may interfere with the perpetual
sale of rum; that it shall persist in med
ding in politics, in attempting to control
party caucuses and conventions, in using
money to carry elections, in attaching to
its cause the dregs of our social system,
and, in short, antagonizing all that is
moral and good and true in our society,
and the tremendous force of public opin-
ion against it will be fully awakened, the
people shall arise in their might and pull

A MeEited Rebuke.

An incident which happened at dinner
party OF gentlemen recently is worth
setting down for the reflections 1t sug-
gests. One Of the guests was known to
be dipsomaniac. although after severe
struggle he had succeeded in breaking
away from the dreadful habit of intern
perance which had come from dissolute
ancestors. His only safety lay in total
abstinence, and although on this occasion
wine was abundant. he did not taste it.
At length it occurred to the host that
practical jest would be amusing. and by
his direction the waiter filed the tumbler
of this guest with gin instead of water.
There being no difference in the appear
ance, and there being no reason for sus-
pecting evil the dipsomaniac raised it to
his lips. The instant he tasted it he com
pretended what had been done. and. with
out word, he set the glass down and left
the room. His nearest neighbor, aston
ished at his unceremonious leavetaking.
turned to see what was the mat
ter, when the grins of the waiter
directed his attention to the still
full tumbler. He took it up, examined
the contents, and understanding in turn
the cruel joke that has been played, he
followed the example of the victim, and
with only glance of indignation by way
of farewell to the host, he too left the
room and house. His neighbor in turn
sought and found the explanation of this
singular breach of etiquette, and the
action of the others having furnished him
clue to the sharpestmethod of express
ing the Indignation any right minded man
must feel, he, in turn, contemptuously
left the table.
To cut the matter short, every guest in
turn, amid silence so impressive that
the host lacked either the nerve or the
presence Of mind to break it. departed in
utter silence, until the giver of the feast
was left to digest as best he might this
bitter but most richly merited rebuke
upon his outrageous conduct. 1t lisa sat-
isfaction to be able to add that the dipso-
maniac had the courage and presence Of
mind to get into a carriage and drive
home at once, where he remained until he
had conquered the cravings excited by the
taste of alcohol he had unwittingly taken.
The Republican party has been playing
this trick for years and the guests are
leaving rapidly. Let the exodus 60 on.

Under the above heading, The Indian
apolis Journal. the Republican mouth
piece of Indiana June 19), said: "a
story has been started in Chicago to the
effect that Gen. Harrison is in favor of
prohibition. This is lie. Gen Har-
rison is Republican. On the temper
ance question. as on all others, he stands
with the Republican party Though q
practical temperance man, Gen. Harrison
is not Prohibitionist. In speech deiiv-
cred at Danville, Ind, Nov. &c, 1887, he
said: We said in our state platform that
we were in favor of clothing local COM
munities with power to act upon this
question. There stand, for one, today
l do not believe in state prohibition as
the best method of dealing with this
question Nothing could be more ex-
plicit than that"
The Journal concluded by saying: Gen
Harrison is too good a Republican to be a
Prohibitionist."

remonstrances, the anti -saloonatic party
sent out upon the cold charities of an I'M

Now the burning questio are, what are

Griffin Should Hurry to Kansas and Fix

up and were equally sure that an anti
saloon plank would be inserted were The

ceedings of the convention were sent over
the wires to Kansas, these papers were
sorely disappointed. The Delphos Car

"The Republican party prefers the

against the saloon, backs down from that
position and says:
