cognize the services which for many

COERCED BY FANATICS.
NO Objection toNHigh License, but Against
Even Partial Prohibition.

1t is well known that the Republican
party was frightened into passing the
Brooks high license bill by the small band
OF temperance shouters who were barely
able by running third ticket to bring
about the defeat of the Republicans.
Had reasonable high license act been
adopted there would have been no COM
plant from respectable dealers, all of
whom were opposed to low groggeries
and dives and immoral places quite as
much as were the sanctimonious cranks
who forced the adoption of the Brooks
bill. Tho fanatics coerced the legislature
into passing an act that has proved to be
virtually prohibitory to very marked
extent, for it has given four Judges the
power to act in most arbitrary manner
and give licenses only to those persons
they choose to make their benefciaries
under tho act brewers Journal

A Eibe1 on Luther.
Who4oves mob wine, woman and song,
Remains fool his whole life long.

Who4oves MOB wine, woman and song,
Remains fool his whole life long.
The slandepous imputation Of the above
couplet to Luther By drunken versifeY
has been caught at by the lovers of strong
drink, it's makers and vendors, and re-
peated over and over, until sober people
have been perplexed and scandalized, and
have asked in serious sorrow whether
Luther could ever have said or written
such piece of balroom doggerel
Dr. Joel Swartz, the distinguished Lu-
theran divine. in a letter to The Union
Signal proves conclusively that Luther
could not have written the couplet.
He writes: Tho couplet does not occur
in any extant work of his, nor do the
more than ono thousand Luther bfog-
raphers attribute it to him"
It's origin has been distinctly traced to
the year 17T5 and cannot be found earlier.
Rev. j. g. Morris, d. D., LII. D., of Balti-
more. voluminous Luther writer and an
accepted authority, thus states the case:
I'm 1873, Matthias Claudius, humor-
Gus poet OF that day, published literary
magazine, called The Wandsbecker Boten
(Wandsbeck Messenger), which attained
wide circulation. In No. rs of that year
there appeared some lines addressed to a
poet. One of the stanzas contains this
couplet, and ends with 'Sagt Doctor Mar
tin Luther They were never heard be-
fore, so that 1t is only lib years ago, that
Is. 292 years after Luther's death. that
these lines were written and attributed to
Luther. well known German poet, John
Henry Voss, at that time residing in Ham
burg, is the reputed author of them. In
TIT he transferred them to another liter
airy publication, The Almanack of the
Muses., which he edited, and again i'm
putes them to Luther, and his poem On
Luther, published the same year, con-
cludes with the same couplet, which he
again accredits to Luther
The pastors of Hamburg were offended
at rs unwarranted presumption, and
combining their influence, they prevented
his election to the pc. zion of professor in
one of the city schools Voss could easilv
have prevented this misfortune by show
ing when and where Luther wrote the
lines imputed to him. but be did not at
tempt it, because neither he nor any other
man can prove what never occurred"
The conclusion therefore of Bayne. one
81 the latest and ablest biographers of
Luther, may be accepted as true and final.
He did not write and never could have
written the couplet."

A Satisfactory Straw.

The general assembly Of the United
Presbyterians met at Cedar Rapids, La,
and canvass was taken of the political
preferences of the members. About one
third were undecided, hoping that the Re
publican party would still take the right
stand for temperance. OF those who ex-
pressed opinions, SO were for the Prohibi-
ton party. 90 were Republicans and
were Democrats.

A Gay Deceiver.

For years the Republican party has
carried on Irritation with the prohibition
dame, vowing eternal constancy and a
speedy marriage. but always turning ND
missing when the contracted time for
espousal has arrived. The Republican
party is no nearer now to the point of
amalgamation with the Prohibitionists
than it ever has been. If anything, it is
further away; for at all the recent cleo
tons, when state issue was made of the
question. Republican votes defeated the
measure. Take Michigan, for instance; a
safe Republican state, that could with the
utmost ease have adopted the prohibitory
amendment this spring, yet defeated it,
notwithstanding the state has a purely
prohibition vote somewhere in the neigh.
borhood of ,000.-Detroit Leader.
'Eah for Old sumptuary.
In spite OF numerous protests and
memorials from southern temperance
Democrats, and several state temperance
associations, the national Democratic con
vention reaffirms the platform Of 1884, in
Guiding the 'anti-sumptuary" plank. The
Voice has interviewed several Democratic
leaders in congress. and they are unani
nous in declaring that the omission of a
specific plank is not to be construed as a
withdrawal from the position of 1884.
Speaker John G Carlisle said. 1.-The
convention reatfrmed the platform Of
1884. That's platform contained an anCi
sumptuary plank. The failure to speak
definitely this time makes no change in
the party"
Now for break in southern Democratic
lines. Nothing is clearer than that the
Democratic party nationally does not rep
resent southern Democracy.

Chicann Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, July 7-Today's action IN
wheat was the reverse OF yesterdays.
Prices opened steady and the first move
was decline of 1c in corn. For the reac-
ton the crowd evidently overdone the
thing and there was an upturn IN prices
which regained most of the loss before
noon, and on second bulge after II
o'clock prices went several points above
the closing quotations last night. 1he
early selling today was continuation OF
that late Yesterday, when it was thought
that the foreigners were working the mar
ket Some regard the bulge of Thursday
as too violent, and the decline which fol-
lowed a natural one Cables were again
ouite favorable, while 5000 bushels Were
exported, besides about half as much flour
from Atlantic ports The way in which
July wheat is held caused it to sell at &c
premium over August eariv today; August
prices ranged size, down to S0I5c, up to
SIG. back to S1%sc, up to size, and on
the latter bulge advanced early 1c addi-
tional to size. returning to Sc as soon as
the little furry was over. One cause for
the strength was Bradshaws estimate on
the visible and invisible supply of wheat,
which was of buIlish character. Wheat
closed strong and at outside prices for the
session-July SIC, August S24c, Septem-
Der size.
Corn was quite strong during the greater
part of the session. There was a little
dip in prices from the opening figures
when wheat sold off 1c, but the feeling
was bullish on the conditions and the
closing prices were nearly 1e higher than
yesterday. The elements of strength were
the decrease Of nearly 100000 bushels in
local stock for the week, light receipts today
and the light estimate for Monday, the
good cash demand, the light offerings and
persistent buying by a large local operator.
July ranged at 4S5s @5019c, closed at 5o16c;
August sold at 1890, down to 1870, and
1850, up to 50slc, closing at 5015c.
Oats attracted considerable attention
because of the little squeeze in July, very
similar to the last month. The shorts were
obliged to buy and prices went for the
month from 317SGl3214c, closing at 3215c
Other futures were little changed. Pro
visions were traded in TO a moderate ex-
tent and an easier feeling prevailed, clos
ing sales being at a decline of 5@715c on
pork, but steady on lard. Offerings ex-
ceeded the demand, even shorts who
bought moderately yesterday being indis-
,sed to take hold.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
