Prohibition.

THE Prohibition Convention for
Washington county, called to meet
at this place last Tuesday night did
not materialize. The general invita-
ton to "Come Everybody" was not
eagerly accepted. We believe the
third party movement will be a him
derance and a drawback to the cause
OF Temperance and Prohibition. There
are thousands and tens of thousands
OF good Republicans and Democrats
in Tennessee, who worked and voted
just as earnestly for the Prohibition
amendment last September, as did
any of the men who are now trying to
make Prohibition political issue. In
the coming election they will vote for
their party, because they believe in
its principles; because they believe
the question Of Prohibition is not in
volved because they believe that to
vote for the prohibition candidates
will be an actual injury to the cause
OF prohibition; and because they do
not want to throw away their vote on
a party that hasn't the ghost of a
chance to elect single candidate
from President down to Justice OF the
Peace. Last year the Prohibition
Amendment received 125,00O votes
in Tennessee when eliminated from
politics, while this year as party is
sue it will not receive five Thousand
votes. The reason is obvious. Th'
people do not want to mix prohibition
with politics we mean the ultra fel
lows, who pride themselves on the fac
thai. they are voting for principle,
strikes us there is very little principl
involved, when a man acts in such
way as to injure the very principle h
pretends to be for.

truth Of the charge. Mr.. Cleveland
denied it. Every man, woman and
child who had the least opportunity of
OF knowing any anything OF the do
mestic life OF the President and his
wife, and who could be induced to
speak on the subject, denounced the
charge as false. Notwithstanding all
these denials the COmmOner, OF this
place, thinks the charge true, and pa
rades it before it's readers in the
coursest manner possible. But even
the Comm0ner is ashamed OF ITSELF
and to make peace with it's conscience
declares that it hopes Mrs, Cleveland's
domestic troubles will not be brought
into the campaign. Ii sincere in this,
why did the CommOuer bring them
into the campaign? Why did it assert
that Mrs. Cleveland had domestic
trobles? Why did it mention the
matter at all? The charge could not
be brought into the campaign in a
more disreputable way than has been
done, and no charge that could be
made on that subject that is farther
from the truth. If the Commoner car
find nothing better for campaign mat
ter than to misrepresent Mrs. Cleve
land, it and the party it represents is
in bad fix.

Annual Picnic.

The young people of Johnson City
held their annual picnic last Wednes-
day, the 18th. Austln's Springs had
been selected for this year and at eight
o'clock twenty-one buggies containing
lovely young girls and gay young men
left the City for the place in question.
The Springs were reached about ten
o'clock and it is needless to cay that
the party found nature in her loyeliest
guise. The interval between the ar
rival of the party and dinner time was
spent in accommodating the grove and
(by some couples) in selecting shady
spots for quiet tete.a-tete in the after
noon. When dinner was at last an
nounced the crowd was not long in
gathering and for more than an hour
happiness reigned supreme. Course
after course was disposed of in rapid
succession until as matter of course
it began raining very suddenly and
the picknickers were only given few
minutes in which to gather up the
fragments Of once elegant spread
and rush pell.mell for the hotel
Some OF the party, not being willing
to allow the descending elements tt
beat them out of their dinner, finished
eating on the porch. With the ex
ception Of the rain nothing else occur

party to hold convention in its hall.
The prohibitionists have entered the
domain Of politics, and are entitled to
no more consideration from the chris

cal party. The party that is seeking
to drag the pure, good women OF the
country into the mire OF politics, de-
serves the condemnation, rather than
the approval ofchristian people.
