PROHIBITION.

FOUNTAIN GREEN; Feb. S, 1883.
To the Editsr of THE HERALD.
Would it not be wise for the people of Utah
to prohibit the selling of liquor, and only
allow few drug stores to exist and have
the drug stores under strict and wise regula-
ton? -r>,,,,,,
Would it not be wise for the people
of Utah to prohibit the selling of
IiquorP'' The HERALD's answer is, yes,
unhesitatingly. 1t would be wisdom of
the very highest order to do that very
thing. It would be millions of money
in their pockets, it would be better
health for them, it would be less crime
for them, less poverty, less want ana
suffering; it would be better men and
women. But, doubtless our cor
respondent intended to ask an
other question than the one he
worded. He evidently thought he was
asking if we think it would be wise to
pass prohibitory laws in regard to the
sale of liquor In this Territory; and as
Stunning this to be his question, our
answer is, no. There are sections in the
Territory where we do not believe it
would be possible to enforce prohibition !;
we do not believe that prohibitory law,
providing severe penalties, would
materially check the sale of intoxicants.
Salt Lake City is one of these
places; Ogden Is another; Park
City is another, and there are
others. In some of these: very rigid
prohibitory statutes have signaIly
failed, and they failed when public SEN
timent was much more IN favor of the
law thsnit is to-day, and the officers
were as vigilant as it is possible for men
to be. Liquor was freely sold and
drank when to sell it laid a man liable
to heavy fine and long imprisonment,
and the penalty was frequently ap-
piled. Public sentiment, inspired
and stimulated by religious teach
ings, made it disgraceful for a
man to drink. and yet there
was drunkenness, and it was not UNI
common. We can name town in Utah
where fully 95 per cent. of the popula.
ton were prohibitionists in sentiment
and. teetotalers in practice, and there
was prohibitory law. and yet liquor
selling was carried on extensively, and
drunken men in the streets were fire.
quently seen. If the people could pro-
hibit the selling of liquor, We would
rejoice to see them do it. But We dc
not believe they can, and there
fore question the wisdom of prohibiting
laws. We do not believe it is the part
of wisdem to put into books laws which
we know cannot be enforced.
Our opinion is, that the evil of the
liquor business can be brought under
better control, by means of high license
aud strict though not unreasonable re-
gulstions as to the traffic. II the COM
munity shall ever find itself in posi-
ton when it can enforce prohibition
and make prohibitory law something
more than vain threat, then we viii
have prohibition; until that time, let as
not make q bad matter worse by at
tempting an impossibiiity, and paying
heavily for or1r failnro

THE FUSION TICK Er.

That was a decided departure from
the ordinary way of doing things which
the municipal convention of the
People's party took yesterday. OF the
five Aldermen and nine Councillors
making up the city legislature, it is
proposed to let the minority name one
of the former and three of the latter,
and to run" but one ticket at the cleo
ton next week.
Ordinarily THE HERALD is opposed
to this sort of thing. We firmly believe
in republican government. in its broad
est form; the good old Democratic doc
trine that maiorities should rule is
good enough for us, and we have never
complained of the application of that
other doctrine, that Ito the victors be-
long the spoils." We have always en-
tertained good deal of respect for that

A WISE STEP.

Owing to the alarming frequency Of
attacks of robbers upon mail trains on
sparsely settled routes in the far west.
and the almost constant peril in whit b
the lines of postal employees are placed
by these marauders, the Postofice De-
partment has determined to arm. at the
expense of government, every postal
employee on these exposed railroad
routes, with weapons of the most eff
fective kind. They will be supplied
with an abundance of ammunition and
every convenience necessary for
prompt work, and will thus be pre-
pared to successfully defend them
selves and the mails from attacks OF
these road agents." however skillfuliy
planned or Unexpectedly made. This
action has been taken at the earnest
solicitation of General Superintendent
Nash, of the railway mail service, who
has already taken stepts to carry the
new order into immediate effect. It is
said that many of the western railroads
have also decided to arm their train
men, and it is expected that, with
arms in the hands of train men, express
messengers already armed and also the
postal employees, train robberies in the
far west will be less frequent in the
/ future.

there was harmony in the Republican
camp in Forsyth county. They all

in favor with the ring and wore fine
clothes and did his masters bidding.
Time wore on, Stipe was elected
Chairman of the Republican County
Executive Committee, and honors grew
upon him. Finally there came day
when they all wanted the lions share
of the revenue Doodle. Then came
war to the knife, and since then two
radical rings have been in existence
and they have been quarreling ever
since.
The readers of THE SENTINEL will
remember that Anderson Stipe was
sentenced to Jail for thirty days by
Judge Clark because of his failure to
pay fines and costs. He kept out of
the clutches Of the law for awhile, but
now walks in daylight, having paid
his fines. we suppose.
The opposition ring decided that
Stipe had gone little too far. They
could tolerate bad deeds in their Of
fcers, but sentence to Jail burt So
short while since they met in Winston
end deposed Stipe and Mr.. J. w.
Goslen, editor Of the Republican, and
leader of the anti Stipe faction, was
elected as Chairman in Stipe's place
and 4 Convention was called to meet
in Winston on May 9Th. They
imagined it was a plain sailing, but
