NATIONAL PROHIBITION.
Senate Committee Reports in Favor of
Testing the Issue by States.

The proposition to submit to the people
of the several states a constitutional
amendment to prohibit the liquor traffic
in the United States was favorably re-
ported by Senator Blair from the commit
tee on education. The report accompany
ing the bill says:
There are members of the committee
who concur in the report recommending
the submission of the proposed amend
ment to the states who do not by such
action indicate their approval of the
adoption of the amendment as part of
the constitution, nor that they would
themselves advocate it's ratification by the
legislatures of the states" After stating
that majority Of the committee think
that refusal to submit the proposed
amendment to the states for ratification
would be analogous to the denial of the
right of party to be heard in court upon
question of private rights, the report
continues:
"The agitation for national legislation
for the extirpation of the traffic in alco-
holic poison made and sold to be used as
beverage will never cease to disturb
and finally to destroy the great political
parties until they submit to the states
the question of the enlargement of ma
tional constitutional jurisdiction so as to
include control of the subject. When de-
cided, if adversely to the ratification, the
subject will be eliminated from national
politics, at least for many years. If, on
the other hand, the proposed amendment
should be ratified and become part of
the national law, the chief curse of the
world would be summoned to the block
of national justice, and die by the hand
of the only power which can WELD an ak
big and sharp enough to cut off its hydra
head. Then we shall have peace. But
agitation for the destruction Of the liquor
traffic cannot cease until the evils which
it inficts upon mankind are removed or
the human race is destroyed. 1t is use
less to cry peace, peace, when there is no
neaca "

Is is right to license man to sell that
which will make man drunk and then
punish man for being drunk?
Is it right to license man to make
paupers and then tax sober men to take

Is it right to license drink shop to
teach vice and then tax people for schools
to teach virtue?
Is is right to derive a revenue out of a
traffic which no decent man defends?
Is it right to teach your boy not to
drink and then vote to license a place
where he may be taught to drink?
Is it right to teach your boy to be
honest, and then vote to license place
where he may be taught to gamble?
Is it right to teach boy to restrain his
passions, and then vote to license place
where his worst passions will be infamed?
Is it right to take care of your own boy,
and vote to license place which will ruin
your neighbours boy?
Is it right to preach justice and charity,
and then vote to license a thing which
robs the widows and orphans of their
bread?
Is it right for you to go to the polls and
vote without having studied this ques-
ton seriously and carefully?-Casselton

Moral Man, Estee.

The Republican convention early showed
its position against prohibitory legislation
when it made M. M, Estee, of California,
permanent chairman. Mr.. Estee is one
of the largest wine growers in that state,
and is such VIGOROUSLY vile character
that the Good Templar vote defeated him
for governor when he ran on the Republi-
can ticket some time ago. In that cam
paign he was dubbed in mockery Moral
Man Estee, and the name has chung to
Kim ever since He voted with Shed
Shook and George Cox ct al. for the ''tem-
perance and morality" plank.

THE PARTY OF THE sLUMs.
Cold Comfort for Temperance Democrats.
Between Devil and Deep Sea.


Between Devil and Deep Sea.
Some Democrats are deriving comfort
from the supposed fact that the rise of the
Prohibition party means the death of the
Republican party. This is the current
belief and arises from the supposed fact
that the majority of the temperance
voters and progressive minded men are in
the Republican party. However that
may be, we can tell our Democratic neigh
bors just how it is going to be. and we
are not a prophet or son of prophet,
either. AS sure as the Prohibition party
develops into a great party-and it is
rapidly developing-one of the old parties
must die. The party that survives will
get the whisky vote and be ruled by the
whisky vote, and necessarily will become
the party of the Sums. Whether it's
name be Democrat or Republican it will
be the party of the slums There will be
two parties only in few years, the Home
party and the Stun party.
The Prohibition party proposes to be
the home party, and neither of the others
do. So 1t remains for, one of the old par
ties to die and the other to be the Stun
party. 1t depends entirely upon which is
the most successful in capturing the
liquor vote. The fortunate party will be
the one that fails. Better die and be
buried decently than live to champion the
slums.

GERMAN TESTIMONY.
Professor Bliny Condemns Beer-A Word
of Warming to the People.


Professor Bliny, of Bonn, whose speech
at the Vienna congress seven years ago
made such a sensation, has again been
speaking on the subject of alcohol at
Wiesbaden. Everything that can be said
in favor of alcohol, according the Profess
sor Bliny, concerns invalids alone. The
healthy need no stimulant for the heart,
lungs or stomach, the sufficiently nour-
ished need no reparation for the waste of
albumen; the non feverish need no soda
tive to reduce internal heat. When the
healthy man partakes of alcohol in any
form, it can only be described as enjoy
ment, or as refreshment after heightened
bodily or mental exertion. The flooding of
stomach and brain with beer by German
students was severely condemned by Pro
fessor Bliny; but his most amusing re-
marks were those on the temperance
movement in England. Naturally he
highly approved of it, but said that its
spread, though partly due to increased
knowledge of health laws, was chiefly due
to the greater quantity of adulterated,
and thereby highly alcoholized, wine and
brandy that is sold here; taken for pleas
ure, it makes the healthy i'll, and, there
fore, could scarcely make the sick we'll
when taken as medicine. In the dis
cussion which followed the professors
speech it was generally acknowledged
that the use of alcohol was liable 20 lead
to its abuse, and that the word Of warn
ing might well be passed on to the people
by the assembled physicians.-The Hos
pital.

The Prohibition Issue,

OF the liquor traffic are known and read

that in no possible way can those evils

The Prohibition campaign will gain dig
nifty and weight from the character of its
candidate, and it will be greatly advanced
by the moral earnestness of it's advocates,
many of whom are clergymen, to whom
the campaign will be holy crusade. In
some of the western states, where the
temperance sentiment has been strong
enough to pass constitutional amend
ments, this moral enthusiasm will be very
effective. The Prohibition campaign will
probably have little attention from the
journals of the two great parties, but it's
results will be awaited with great inter
est.-Harper's Weekly.

TO the Editor of The Herald and

Here we would acknowledge oul

For the last year our field Of labor
has been Johns'one Academy. There
we have met quite number of promis,
ing children ahd have instructed them
to the best of our ability.
October 3lst our school closed amid
pleasant words and that which is more
tangible pay for my labor. Labor
when appreciated becomes a pleasure,
hence our years work is another
bright page in life's volume. May
those who have so faithful encouraged
US see their little ones
"Like olive plants their table round"
For seven long years, we taught in
Piney Woods, O'Neall Academy. We
worked fo- good men. They supported
US morally and financially. We loved
them - and we love them yet. AS
they pass to and from the cordial greet
ings they give seem like "a letter from
home" What gushing thankfulness
we owe for friendship; who can count
its worth; surely it is q foretaste OF
Heaven. !. \. LONG.
