Rally, Democrats.
There remains but . few days ia

their resources as to secure a victory
on Tuesday next, and it is a few
days which ought to be diligently
employed. The only danger to be
apprehended, proceeds from that
over.conidencc which invariably
renders q vigorous concentration of
effort more difficult, and lessons the
general interest Of the party in a
contest, Of which the successful re.
suit is not esteemed a matter Of
doubt. 1t must be recollected, how
ever, that whatever the disagree.
ments or internal disensioas Of the
opposition may be, there are men
upon the Republican ticket, and a
partisan leader at the head Of it,
who will spare no time, labor or ex.
pense, not only to rally to the polls
the very last man Of the Republican
party, but to make every possible in.
road upon the Democratic vote. The
greater our expectations, the less
our endeavor-has almost become a
political proverb; and we might also
add that the more sanguioe We are

while reasonably anticipating a ma

make that victory as commanding
and impressive as possible, and an

-Four years ago Vermilion earned
the reputation Of being the banner

learn that q move is being made by

this prohibition ticket was placed in

refused to TO 80; that they have no
hope Of carrying q single State or
electing a single elector, to imperil

AZ agent of the National anti
Nuisance League Is IN Washington
for the purpose Of institutiug suit
to test the costitntionallty Of the IL
quor license law. lie says that suits
will be started in al the license
States, and carried to the Federal
Supreme Court. where it j. expec-
ted that the League will win, the
laws being declared unconstitution-
al. He thinks then that prohibit
tory legislation will follow, and
there will be an end to liquor sell
ling. It is highly probable that the
League will fail, if for no other rea-
son than the fact that the regula-
ton of the matter is one Of those
things left to the States and with
which the United States will not
interfere. It may be highly credi-
table sentiment which puts into the
books laws forbidding the sale of
Intoxicating liquors and assumes
that there is no intemperance be-
cause it is unlawful to sell rum,
though drunken men are Keeling
through the streets. It is better
sentiment, however, which takes
cognizance Of things as they are and
not as we would like to have them.
If prohibition were possible, or il It
would materially lessen the evil of
intemperance, we believe the ma
jority of the people of the United
States would favor prohibitory laws,
but experience everywhere has
taught that intemperance is neither
suppressed nor materially diminish
ed by laws which forbid the sale of
| intoxicants, no matter how earnest-
" aud honestly officials endeavor to
enforce the statutes. The expert
ence of this city under local option,
is the best test of the effectiveness
of prohibitory statues. High license
has done more for the cause Of tenn.
perance than all the prohlbitoTy
enactments. 1t has made it posi-
BILE for the authorities to exercise
more or less control over the busi-
ness, and has compelled those who
drink liquor to pay to the public
the money required to care fos them
and to protect against them.

burden OF . gigantic debt. it has
spent with lavish hand, and ret has
saved half Is much Is al the rest Of

millions Of capital, and developed
capacity for creating product
worth over ten billions year, it's
