Rev. MacLean VS.. Prohibition,

INV. maS0oHu V6. 1COnOlC1Ou.
Editor Of PIONEER EXPRESS.
In his third letter our friend the
enemy put considerable stress upon the
fact that the Bible permitted. if not ell.
coumged yinc-drinking, and we took
him up on that question, but really that
is aside from the prohibition argument.
Admitting that there is no harm in Bro.
MacLean's glass Of wine, the law pro-
hibits many things that are not sins.
The carrying concealed weapon is not
\ sin and vet the law prohibits it. The
driving horse certain gait in the city
is not sin and yet the law prohibits it.
Building a frame house on a certain
street is not a sin aud yet the law pro-
hibits that. The reason why, in each
case, is very plain. Danger and damage
to society makes the difference. Be-
cause Jesus made wine our brother
seems to think it is reflection OH Him
to prohibit the manufacture and sale Of
wine. We can suppose that Jesus, as a
carpenter, built frame houses. Is it any
reflection OH Him that III New York or
Chicago they have law prohibiting the
building of frame houses? The prohibit
tionists are after larger game than Bro.
MacLean and his wine glass. They
wish to destroy the saloon as the en-
bodiment and offensive expression Of
the traffic. When men have looked on
the dreadful havoc wrought by the liquor
business, the properties destroyed, tile
homes desoIated, the crimes cngendered;
when they have realized what growing
menace it is to every interest of law and
order; when they have witnessed all
limitations that have been put upon it,
secretly or openly and insolently deficd,
is it not astonishing to see minister Of
the Gospel proclaiming himself the
champion Of the traffic, and with casuls-
| try rushing to its defense? The issue is
between public nuisance and the pub.
lie welfare. The nuisance is prolific OF
our sorcst hurts, and weighing society
AMI the state with their widest and
worst burdens without one compensat.
ing feature. The traffic has defied re.
gulation, has become insolent and men.
acing. Society has right to protect it.
self. therefore let the traffic die and Bro
MacLean say Amen.
Our defender of the traffic gives as an
other reason against a prohibitory Law
that it leads to law breaking spirit
that it is not observed and leads to the
non-obscrvance of all law. That is q
beautiful theory, and all the criminal
classes would rejoice in its acceptance
and the consequent repeal of all the
laws they violate. If that theory is true,
Maine, Kansas and Iowa ought TO he
noted for non-observance of general law.
Maine las lad prohibition for thirty
years, and the law breaking spirit mus:
be rampant. Hard facts will take the
wind out of that theory. Here are the
figures from the official records:
"The real results of prohibition in
Maine is best shown by comparing the
criminal statistics of license States. In
1879 the number of persons in the States
prisons of Maine, New Hampshire, Ala
bama, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New
York and California. was as follows:

pie Of Maine three to one maintain the
law which produces such results. James
G. Blaine ssys Of Ills own State: "The
people OF Maine are industrious and pro-
vident, and wise laws have aided them.
They are sober. earnest and thrifty.
Intemperance has steadily decreased in
the State, since the first enactment of
the prohibitory law until now. 1t can
be said with truth that there is no equal
number Of people in the Anglo Saxon
world, among whom 30 small an amount
Of Intoxicating liquor is consumed, as
among the six hundred and fifty thou.
sand inhabitants of Maine." Senator
Frye, Gov. Dingley, Pcrl,am, Hamline
and other leading men give the same
testimony. l prefer to believe them in
preference to Mr.. MacLean because
they have no object in lying. Iowa lie
also cited as q place where law is not
obeyed. I occasionally meet q man from
Iowa who has something to say about
the prohibition law. 1 have met several
this year who testify that the law is
squeezing out the dealers and some Of
the old soakers. 1 met a German who
left about the same time that Bro. Mac.
Lean came to Dakota. He said the
country was going to the dogs, that the
law was Il failure, and five minutes after
lie said he came to Dakota that he
might drink his beer. denied him in
Iowa. Since then he has been arrested
once or twice for violating tho law in
Dakota. Ipresume lie is u fair specimen
of the class driven out of Iowa by
wholesome enactment.
NO rogue Ger felt the halter draw
With good opinion of the law.
l fear our brother has taken big con-
tract in his championship of the saloon
business, and commend him to the old
lady's scripture. The minister said to
her: "Aunt Sally, how are You getting
along?' "Not very well, elder; Sal's
run off with the hired man; Johns get
tim upstrop6fous, and the pigs lave eat
up the garden truck; but in all my trials
and POPULATIONS there's jest one passage
O. Scr;pter that always consoles me and
nerves mo for the trials to come"
"What passage is that, Aunt sally?"
"Well," she said, 81 disremember jest
whether its in Psalms or Proverbs where
it says, Grin an bear it," | commend
that passage to Bro. Mac. in the winter
of his discomfort. Iftl,c article in a re-
cent issue Of the PIONEER EXPRESS written
by Zone Interested" does not show him
where lie stands, his case is desperate
indeed. Yours respectfully,
II. p. COOPER.
The above article should have been
published some weeks ago us the con-
Guiding paper Of Mr.. Cooper's series,
and should properly have preceded the
second series of Rev. AIacI.ean. Mr..
MacLean will close his papers in next
weeks paper.-ED.

Also the rate of interest OH loans ia
farmers in Dakota is very much higher
than in Manitoba. The difference
seems properly attributable to the
Dakota laws. which exempt very
large values in lands and goods from
seizure for debt, and which in one
way OF another, enable dishonest pco.
pie to place their property easily out
of reach of their creditors. The ulti.
mate effect of such laws probably will
be to cause small loans to be made at
low rates, rather on the strength of
character than of property; but. pend.
ing the time when the people Of 1,
new community become well acquaint-
ell with one another, the effect is to
keep interest high and to cause the
taking of security by chattel mort.
gage for very small sums, all of which
much hinders business and prosperity.

DISEASES OF WOMEN
OVARIAN AND WOMB NEURALGIA

Mrs. Jennie s., who died of cancer of the uterus
 from neglected neuralgia Of the womb.
 There is in this county today very large class of neI yous women who, at least once month and sometimes almost constantly, suffer from neural gic afectoos of the uterus twenb) or ovaries. The suffering in is agonizing and ends in ter rible convulsions. Sexual excesses. frequent mis- carriages, too frequent childbirth over-exertion, tghtlacing falls aud bows lack of exercise, abuse of the bath etc., all contribute to, cause aggra- vafe the trouble. The approach of each period" is watched for with dread and anxiety, and some times the slightest exertion error in diet etc. will bring the suffering, usually assuaged after time by hot applications and narcotics. How many of the habitual morphine takers of the present day attribute their first experience with this deadly drug to just such attack? Had the physician instead of giving the disease the long name of Dy menorrhoea, and loading the patients system with opiates psed few doses of Scotch Oats Essence to allay the nervous symptoms and pain, relieve the irritation and build up the system and pre- scribe Sir James Simpsons Pastflles to cure the uterine disease, he would have accomplished much better results and without the danger attending the use of deadly narcotics.
 She who is 6 wise woman W i'll take this matter Of painful menstruation and ovarian neuralgia in hand while the pain is upon her, but in the quiet tervals. By thus doing she will find to her satisfaction that the Scotch Oats Essence has at lacked the very root or the eVl and so built up lieved and healed the tender and sensitive nerve flaments, that when the next period comes it will be perfectly natural and painless.
 There has been no remedy discovered in the past twenty yeaIs that has proved such boon to abused end suffering womankind
