Prohibition.

In answer to the Denocrdt I purposed to
put what I had to say in about three COM
municatious. but my absence from home last
week prevented one article.
! will now first alludc to the time in Charles
town when our County Court had nerve enough
t. refuse license to sell liquor as n traffic. and
the misunderstanding business was suspended
for one year. / will venture the remark that
not one boy or young man will trutl;fully date
his drunkenness from that year. and my OBJ
scrvatinn is clear. that not one man was seen
Intoxicated on our streets then TO where six are
found now. Men whose iutcrcts. tastes. or
prcdjudiccs bias them. fancy that there was
drank in Charlcstnwn during that year as much
liquor rs when the saloons are open. bnt they
are greatly mistaken, and I will summon drink
ing men uS INV witness. 1t would be Il rcvcr-
sui Of the law of temptation If it were otherwise.
Any man may cXamin. his own procliviiic$ and
acts. to say nothing Of the Divine injunction to
deliver MS from temptation. which is PRAYED by
many who will. fear. not now dn at the ballot
box what they have ..en praying for all their
lives. And. if not. Is 1t cDnsi-tant to ask the
Lord to remove temptation. and vote TO con-
Time il sincerity requires us to act for what
we pray. ! believe. If the liuInr receipts dur
in" the Prohibition year had been tested rs in
Grafton. the result would be the same. \ ycn-
tlcninn there. to test the question. examined
the liquor receipts. aud compared the license
wears with the Prohibition years. Tn" result
was sercal tn one on malt liquor. and .Jipe to one
whiskry. During the license wears. another
proof. ifih" business of misunderstanding were
rs good without license. does anybGdv believe
the saloon men would favor licnns:? In other
words. would Il sane man advo"ate paying for
the right to sell liquor If he cnuld sell ns much
without pnying such u ak! The article head
cd " Prohibition aud the Church. would require
IL lengthy article in rcply--hut a few words
must suffice. The article starts ont well
cnuu"iI-the church with its members all
would doubtless he safe on all qucs-
tiuiis of moral conduct. bat the church has not
control Of all the people. and there are. per
hau+. members of church not as rrgcnerated as
tntion when %iningling with the world. There
is nothing. either in my religion or INV politics.

From the DemOcrdt:

McsSrs. VIM. Phillips & Sons. be-
ing the lowest bidders. have been
awarded the building of the Episco-
greSS and Samuel streets, recently
purchased for that purpose. The
work will begin at once.
Mr.. Il. w. Norris has just returned
from Il trip in Frederick county. Va.
where he has been working for the
American Road Machine Co. Mr..
Norris sold n of the rOad-wOrkers
to the commissioners of the Opcquon
District. which proved so satisfactory
that they will also he adopted in the
other districts. We have heard that
this machine does the hest kind Of
work. and can accomplish as much as
30 men. If this be true we are sur
priSed that orr commissioners do not
adopt them. it would enable them to
give lis better roads at less cost.
Mr.. Robert IIunsickcr was found
dead in his he'd on Wednesday morn
ing. He retired ut night in apparent
good health. and when found cold and
silent in death there were no evidences
other than that his spirit quietly took
its flight. There hadn't been a groan
Or Il moan to indicate that the worthy
old gentleman was in pain or trouble.
He was Il good. humble, un0btrusive
Christian man-for nearly all the
Years of his long life devoted to his
Christian duty and TO his Church de-
voted to his family and full of neigh
horly kindness. A trait of the old
gentleman especially observable by
us who so long lived next door to him
and daily for years passed by him,
was his tenderness towards and kind
ly consideration of the little children
of his own household and of the fam
allies about him. He vas n member
of the NJ. T.. Church, South, and
about 20 years of age.
This quiet, peaceful departure is n
translation. The old gentleman's oft
repeated prayer that when the Mas
ter had no further use for him here,
that he might be permitted to lay down
the cross and pick up the crown, was
heard and answered, and he is realiz-
ing ,Ibeyond doubt, the hopes of many
years of consistent religious life.

II HAS CONE TO STAY SOME DAYS-NO PROSPECT OF
THUNDER STORM TO-DAY.
The Signal service refuses TO hold out any PROM
ises OF much cooler weather. The maps In the
weather room show that the eastern part OF the
country Is and has been for nearly q week,
stepped as IL were, In e0's and 94s, that WASH
ingtOn may as well keep out Its palm leaves and
seerSuckers for several days yet. The
highest temperature OF this tOrrfd spell
was reached on Saturday, when the
Thermometer attained "A maximum OF 81.
Yesterday, however, was. more properly speak
ing, the warmest day OF the year. for, although
the maximum was but 9r2, the mean temperature
81. This means that there was more heat spread
over greater number OF hours. To-day the
breeze makes the heat endurable. The signal Ser
vice repudiateS the term warm wave IL has
officially recognized and adopted ''cold wave" as
part Of the vernacular, but at headquarters IL is
stated that there Is no such thing
a. 'wave" OF heat, and that the term
Is creature or the newspapers.
However this may be. the heat sweeps down just
have visited us recently are not, as is generally
supposed, direct result OF the hot weather. That
IL, while they are very likely 10 occur at such
times, there may be weeks OF heat when there
will not be drop OF rain a flash OF lightning.
There are certain peculiar conditions that give
birth TO the storm that are aided at
times by intense heat, and IL the
presence OF such circumstances last week
that gave rise TO the sudden storms that
1ty. There Is an entire absence OF these condi-
lions in the vicinity of Washington to-day and 1t
Is very likely that there will be no RAIN for several
hours to come.
