CRITICIsEs DIR. SMITH.
Temperance Workers Who Re.
sent His Attacks on Mr.. Wool

sent His Attacks on Mr.. Wool
ley.
Several Of the tempe rance workers of
st. Paul resent the structures of Rev. s.
G. Smith upon John 6. Woolley in the
following manner:
ST. Paul. Feb. 8, 1SS9.-As a believer
in Christianity, | would like to call at
tention to some OF Rev. s. G. Smiths
remarks, which he made before the
temperance committee at the house of
representatives last Wednesday after
noon. Not because we may differ in
political views, or because | have any
special interest in Mr.. Noolley, as [
never saw him before last Tuesday. but
because [ cannot endure the idea OF the
unbelieying public thinking or believing
that MIR. Smith voiced the sentiments of
the Christian church of to-day. Mr. Smith
offered as a preface to his speech as fol-
lows: "it is not my intention to attack
anyone in my remarks, this is the time
for cool and deliberate consideration of
the question without malice" And yet
before the echo of these words had died
away. Mr. Smith made a personal at
tack upon Mr.. ..Woolley, and gave way to
his feelings in words and terms not be-
coming a gentleman, much less mill
lister of the gospel. And this was after
ne had had twenty-four hours time in
which toretiect and answerMr. Woolley's
argument. Did Woolley call any per-
SONS knaveS and fools or make any per-
sonal attacks? Mr.. Smith says that he
would have cured Mr. Woolley by putting
him to work breaking stones OH the
time he got drunk in public.
I wonder if Mr.. Smith gets
this from the gospel he breaches. At
the time Peter came to his Lord and
asked now often he should forgive his
brother, il Mr.. Smith had been present
he would have said: ''Put him to
breaking stones on the street for thirty
days for the first otfeuSe." This is the
way Mr.. Smith would have treated such
men as John B. Cough. Mr.. Wooiley and
thousands Of others who have done a
great work for reform. Were these
men clothed in their right minds
through the influence of a Stonepile,
among thieves, robbers, sellers of liquor
| TO drunkards and minors and otherwise
willfully breakers of our laws? Have
we Christians been mistaken in beiev-
| ing that the only thing that will cure a
7 drunkard is tie grace of God? AS I
| grow older my experience and OBJ
! servation teaches me to be more
| charitable toward the men land
there arc thousands of them}, who
experience more anguish, torture
and pain in twenty-four hours
| fighting this demon OF appetite than
Mr. Smith Or / will experience in life
time. And Most of these very men
either inherited their appetite or re-
ceived their FIRST taste while studying
under one of Mr.. Smiths sacred affairs
that teaches that it is no crime tor
wrong, to take an occasional glass of

Port Arthur Sentinel
Early last fall two gentlemen came to this
town i'll behalf of the st. Paul Pioneer Press,
and they were well received by our citizens.
Several of the leading townspeople gave
them the whole of their time, and as the re-
suit over 500 was obtained here in sub
scrlptions, on the plea that 4 description of
Port Arthur should occupy whole page in
the Press III one issue, and thenceforward a
column a week. 1t was couple OF months
before there was the slightest sign of carry
ing out the agreement by the Press when the
write up appeared. and couple of weeks
afterward about a column OF matter wss
printed. That is all. The eanvassers
promised that the Press would pay the cor
respondent, and that the subscribers would
be allowed to appoint him. When the ar
rangements came to be made il is found that
the Press refuses to receive more than half q
column q week, or TO pay such price as will
rernune rate him for his work. 1t is possible
that the Press has some defense, but it ap-
pears new to be iagrant breach OF faith TO-
ward the town.

She present was at every scene,
Which helped TO hli joys measure;

While older and more knowing,

And sought for fame and knowledge;
Esteem she had for men alone
Who. had been bred at college;
An introduction she d refuse
Unless the man could show her
That he had delved ia things atstruse
And read much mystic lore -
she'd put him III the assEy-pan
And ask: what is the man."

The sentiment Of legislators towards
country weekly newspapers is not par
ticularly appreeiative. This was en-
phasized at yesterdays session of the
senate, when Senator Days bill to in
clude weekly newspapers within the
provisions Of the libel law was
defeated The bill was up for
its third reading. Senator Days
wish is to give those newspapers an
opportunity to retrart any libeious
statements appearing in their columns.
Senator Edwards did not. at any time.
favor the pres nj libel law. but was of
opinion that the same privileges should
be extended to weekly newspapers as
were afforded their daily contempe-
raries. At the same time he sail:
''There are certain newspapers. weekly
and daily, disgrace to the state and to
Journalism. The statement will not be
contradicted that there are parers-only
q few. am glad to Say-that can he
hired for a small consideration to will
fully traduce any citizen of the state, or
boom their columns in advocacy of
measures which the editors conscien-
ti0uSly believe to he wrong"
Senator Brown is not favorably dis
posed to weekly newspapers. ''whose
editors create public sentiment against
q man and damn him to DEATH"
