Temperance Versus Inssmpsranso.

The wild wave of fanaticism that has
been sweeping over the country for the
past few years, is now, it seems, re-
ceding. The current of the tide of the
dangerous dogma of these latter days
found turning point recently in the
state of New Hampshire, where prohi-
bition or legal intemperance has just
been defeated by very large majority.
The state of Rhode Island is also grow
ing uneasy under the weight of prohi-
bition law and the necessary steps to
loosen the grasp of the usurper's hand
have already been taken. Although the
fiery zeal of the st. Johnites of Kan
sas has never been equaIled in the field
OF fanaticism and intolerance since
the days of the eonQuering of Persia by
the followers of the false prophet.
there is unquestionably a powerful re-
action against the constitutional
amendment taking hold of the people.
The prohibitionistS of this state, hav-
ing been lifted into position of prom
inence and power by the republicans,
early began to rejoice in their own
strength and set up a training school
for their war horses in the valleys. In
the mean time the lamb like leaders
of the G. 0. p. were being quietly led to
the slaughter. Prohibition became the
nightmare of the party of
advancement and sought to
ride and direct it IN the field.
These fanatical riders. in their intem-
perate zeal, needed not the Iurid light
ming that came flashing from the eyes
of fTeemen, whose tread like the lion,
will one day trample them down like
the sands of the desert. The tue tenn
perance element of Kansas are begin
ming to open their eyes TO the situation.
They believe prohibition TO be failure
because it does not lessen the drinking
habits of men in any grade of society,
because 1t cannot be fairly and Impair

THE cranks and mossbacks have
complete control of the lower house of
the Missouri legislature. They feel
that the peace and prQspeTity of the
commonwealth depend on the abolish
ment of base ball on Sunday, of bicy-
Gle riding on country roads, of pool
playing, of shaking dice for lemonade
and soda, and of betting. In addition
to these grave and mighty reforms,
they are determined that attorneys
shall give bond to their clients for
faithful performance of duty. From
this a. it is inferred that Missouri
lawy ers are mainly set of rascals and
shysters, on whom no dependence can
be placed. Imagine a client, under
such law, saying to an attorney,
Now that you have my retainer, hunt
up bondsman or two and make good
and sufficient bond that you will man
age this case honestly and ably, and
not sell out to the other side.' What,
sir" replies the attorney, do you take
me for scoundrel?'' ''Well, not ex-
actly, but the law says you are not to
be trusted. and we must live up to the
law, you know. Come, let us have
your bond" a rather lively scene
may be imagined at this juncture, in
Guiding sulphurous and lurid condi-
ton of the atmosphere, and confid-
ing granger skurrying away from the
energetic toe of an irate lawyer. The
Kansas house was bad enough, but the
Missouri chumps can discount them
fearfully.

little or no value. The question, not

New Hampshire, after industri-
ously canvassing the question, and af-
