OUR YOUNG MEN.

Tn these days Of palitical eorrup-
tion in high places, of rings, secret
caucuses, combinations and set-ups,
when, after every ensuing election
tho voters OF this country are left 10
doubt aud uncertainty az to whe,h-
er the several candidates have been
fairly and regularly elected, or
whether their votes have been tam>
pered with. and so constructed rs
TO meet tue ends and serve the
purposes Of a set OF political bosses /;
and tue better class Of voters, irres-
pective Of party, have been waiting
and watching for something or some
one to turn up to bring about a gem
eral reform 10 the politics Of this
conntry, and bring order out OF tue
chaos and political confusion with
which we ore surrounded and the
great question in their minds has
been to whom can we look for sue
cor aud relief ? The answer is plain
aud apparent-to the young men OF
the country and 10 connection
with this we would say that every
political and religious revolution in
the history of tho world which has
been brought to q successful issue
has been accomplished chiefly by
the aid and support Of young men.
Aleady many of the young men oi
our day are disgusted with the in-
trigues Of the old-timo political rings
and bosses, and are forming them
selves into separate clubs, and SO
far have been ready 10 throw their
influence in favor Of right and JUS
tice. This influence has been felt 10
New York and Pennsylvania, and
where tLey are formed anti. .corrup.
tion societies soon spring mp as Q
natural consequence, ard fraud ex.
posed and the offenders in some cas-
es brought to justice. There are
young men enough in the country
if they would combine aud cooper
ate, to cause q revolution in polite,
and wipe out the machinery OF cor.
ruption, intrigue and fraud. w,
would hail with delight the day
that young men would work in har'
mony and form associations in favol
Of political reform in every votins
precinct in the United States.
Young men Of the country, ,
grand aud noble work is before yon
the eyes Of millions Of people arr
turned toward you. Arise, then, il
your might, and crush forever th,
hydra headed serpent Of fraud ent
corruption now so prevalent in th,
ip5iitical circles Of to-day.

LETTER FROM KANSAS.

HAMPTON, Iowa, Jan. %.
Ed. PosT.-I left Snyder county in
1879 and emigrated to Iowa. From
there went to Colorado for gold,
but soon found it harder to dig than
to earn; and soon pulled out for the
Indian Territory, where, tired Of bucks,
squaws aud papoosos, crossed over
into Texas. BY this time came Ia
the conclusion that it was about
time for me to know what l wanted
and turned back to Iowa where |
have lived since. The country in
this section OF the state is nndulat-
ing with plenty OF coal and timberi
while for farming land it is unsur-
passed 10 the United States. 1t is
also equally good for stock-raisipg.
The soil is deep aud rich-land that
know to have been farmed for 20
years last year yielded 70 bushels ol
corn 10 the acre. Land sells bere
ell the way from $12 to $40. The
last price is only paid for land that
is we'll fenced and under O high
state Of cultivation.
We are enjoying prohibition here
and let me tell you, il is one Of the
graDdest measures that can be adopts
cd by any state. We have less pow
erty and less crime, enjoy better
health and have brighter hopes ol
heaven.
The markets are fair here com.
pared to other parts OF the West as
Il following prices will show: Corn
4Oc. oats 80, barley 60, fax loo,
rye so. aud hay 81 per ton.
We have had very cold weather
this wipter--the thermometer has
registered as low as 40 degrees be-
low zero.
Should this letter find room in
paper you may hear from roe again.
Yours,

Wha. prohib;ti:nists Want.

And now We know inst what the
prohibitiorists want. they are not
opposed to Intoxicating liquors,
and per consequence do not con-
demn drunkenness, which is the re-
suit solely OF using 'intoxicants.'
Their fight is against alcohol In
Massachusetts the other day, the
prohbitiouists OF that State got ve-
ry indignant because a bill was iu-
troduced in the assachusetts legs-
lature to abolish the use, sale, ex.
change, barter, giving away or man.
ufacturing Of Intoxicating liquors
They insisted that this was too
vague, too indefnite.' They want
ed the word, Intoxicating dropped
aud the word alcoholic substituted
The preachers bave taken up the
matter, that is those who favor pros
hibition, aud the Bay State, conse-
quently, is agitated to its innermost
recesses.
Now there are various drugs that
arc Intoxicating that yet are not
'alcobslic. or these the chief is
opium in all its various preparations,
but chiefly in those OF morpha and
laudanum. Next comes cannabis
indicator its active principle, has =
heehs. Chloroform, sulphuric ether
and various ether drugs have the
power to produce intoxication with
all the pleasant and unpleasant feels
ings that attend q high old DRINK.
The most harmless thing that can
cause drunkenness is alcohol. When
carried to excess, or when used by
weak aud delicate creatures, such as
women, preachers, and boys, it's evil
effects are terrible, but it is an angel
OF mercy compared with opium,
hasheesh or other drugs that pro-
duce 'intoxication.' One would ma
turally suppose that the object Of a
moral crusade vas primarily With
the effects Of an agent and not nec-
essarily with that agent itself when
those effects could not be produced
if the agent were not used. And
those effects, il Immoral at all, are
Just as bad when produced by one
as by another agent-just as bad
morally, that is to say. We natur.
ally suppose that the object Of a
temperance movement is to abolish
drunkenness. But the Massachu,
setts prohibitionists declare they
are not concearned about intoxica
ton at all. 1t is alcohol they want
to destroy. Reasoning from this
declaration II is permissible to say
that the prohibitioDists want to
break up the 'grog-shops but favor
the opium dens. Down with the
saloon, then. but let the opium

REAL EDUCATION.

The ability TO earn an honest liv-
ing is the first qualification for good
citizenship, aud, therefore, the first
thug to be aimed at is the training
OF children. The accumulated
wealth Of the world, if nothiS5g we're
added TO it, would kssep us in exist
ance no more'~ shan two or three
Se"-s - ; most. He, ti,n-efore
r ...Aes ous ot the scanty stof6
and, while able to do it, puts nothing
in, whether he be king or beggar, is
at any rate q thief. Education is
not first or chiefly the mere learning
OF certain facts or principles it is
such a developement and training OF
faculty as makes one master of him
self and his conditions Our present
definition and popular use of the
word are altogether too narrow.
There is something absurd 10 calling
some practically incapable meu, come
useless member OF society, educated,
because he happens to have parrot,
like knowledgde OF Greek or French
drilled into him while another,
whose hand 10 trained into fitness for
rendering grand service to the world
is soken of as uneducated.
