Gives up the Pap.

On the 4th inst. President Harrison re
coived the resignation Of the postmaster
at Mount Carmel, LII. 1t is as follows
and worth reading:
ITO the Hon. B. Harrison, President,
E.c.-Sir: By the grace of God and
Grover Cleveland ana postmaster al
Mount Carmel. My Official term Will ex
pire Jan. 90, 1890. In addition to editing
the mails of the city | am also the editor
of the Mount Carmel Register. a live,
local, Democratic paper. established in
1889 and published at 81 % a year, cash
in advance; u discount of 30 per cent to
ministers and presidents.
While the ef1ee has agreed with me and
l have IN main with the office, and while
l might reasonably entertain the hope OF
holding on for eight months longer, yet
I feeli it my duty to tender my resignation.
Being q Democrat, l have preached that
TO the victors belong the spoil. l feel
disposed to practice that which | preach.
Your immediate predecessor hoped to
build up bis party by keeping the opposi.
ton in office. You are probaly aware,
II you are at all familiar with the vocal.
ulary of true and trite sayings, that his
name is now Dennis.
am moved further to tender you my
resignation because of the anxiety OF a
barn-yard full of patriots to succeed me
l believe that a tariff is a tax. They do
nnt Tharofpro tha&. y pe u,,,r l,st y, md
kindred, and he who provides no. for
his own household is worse than lnfidcl.
l am told that you are not built that way.
But to resume the thread of my dis
couse: The boys who are anxious to be
my successors are very hungry; they
nave been feeding on shncks and icicles
for four long, long, weary years; the
official calf is fat and they yealn to taste
is tende joints. They fought (a1nona
themselves) they bled tat tho nose) and
are willing to die for the g. o. p. When
l asserted that you were the Cinnamon
candidate and ate rat-tail soup with choI
sticks they swore by Dudley and Foster
that it was Il canard and threatened tC
detail blocks of five to fry the fat out o.
me. Fortunately for me their threat!
were mover carried into execution.
They carried torches. drank with tht
oons aud sang "Granpa's hat will just iii
Benny, and did divers ard manyfoolisl
things, none Of which would they llayl
been guilty of Doing had they not scented
an aroma of postmaster on the cris!
morning AR. And the pseans of prais'
which they sounded when Il became evi
dent that you had got there. Ell. vii
ever be a Sahara In my memory.
For these and other reasons unnece
sary to mention tender you my resigna
ton, with the hope that my successo
will be animated by a similar spirit i
1898. If he is. your Democratic success
sor will be spared the painful necessit,
of turning the rascal OUT | ain n
specially yours.

There is a disposition on the part of
temperance workers to indulge in Sc
we're and harsh language 1t may be
calling men and women by their right
names, but we doubt the wisdom of it,
when we take Into account the fact that
they are trying to CONVEX these men to
thciY belief. Te first abuse and insult q
man and then try to convince him that
you are right and he is wrong is wasting
good tins and injuring the cause. 1t is
not done in a malicious spirit, but is
th~oughtlessly INDUCED ia by our Jealous
emperance workers. Between the pro
hibitionists and the saloon representa-
tiyes there Is a conservative element, and
it is this vote we are after this fall. Mod
GRAFTON and charity should characterize
this prohibition campaign. 1t is votes
not blood we are after. John Pcase in

Tent meetings in the interest of prohi-
bition were held here Saturday evening
and Sunday by a Mr.. Evans and his wife
of Kansas. The meetings were fairly
well attended and by people of nil beliefs.
1t canno be said, however, that the meet
ings created any unusual enthusiasm or
were such as to win any new supporters
to the cause they espoused. The people
Of this community are pretty we'll posted
and are not so anxious to kno w just how
prohibition works in Kansas as they
are to haye it explained to them what is
to be gained by taking prohibition on 10

With Our Compliments.


Last press day Messrs. Kent and Tinan
went-to Judge from circumstantial evi.
dence-after prairie chickens. 1t will
be remembered that the last-named
hunter has always taken the stand for u
rigid game law-one that will allow the
townspeople to trample the grain of the
farmers and get the chickens several
weeks before the law is off while the
farmer goes without the food. II will
also be remembered that he (the latter
namcd) is always the first to break the
law. year in and year out. Hypocrisy
thy nemei is Observation-Disclosures.
The true amimus of the foregoing is too
apparent to need calculation. For four
years or more our contemporary has
slyly winked at the violation of the law
fer policy's sake and swallowed in
silence the few chickens left at his door
by those who make q practice of buying
fve-cent men, Now. when he thinks he
sees a chance to hit some of no use TO
him financially and carry favor with a
fSw others with what readiness he up.
holds the game law and the rights Of
the abused farmer. Verify, he shows
the principle of a louise and the instinct
of a cur!
The assertion that the editor of this
paper has been the first to violate the
law year in and year out is a lie upon
the face of it, for were 1t true no one
would have knownit sooner or benin
greater haste to let everyone else know
it than this same sycophant over the
way. He wouldn't have waited four
years for an opportunity like that. Dur
ing the summers Of 'S3, 'S4, 'S5, SO, and
81 the editor of this paper never took q
gun out of its case or went hunting be-
foe the law was off. and only once did
he do SO in 1888 and our contemporary
not only knows nothing to the contrary
but he has never ever heard anything to
make him think differently, 1t shows
what a dirty liar he is when he wants to
be.
We do not preach one thing and prac-
tiee another. We made the statement
openly two years ago next fall that SO
far as the GRAPHIC was concerned it was
through trying to have the game laws en-,
forced against snch tremendous odds,
and personally we proposed TO have onl
share Of the chickens hereafter. on tho
ground that When with Romans you
must do as Romans de To those whe
think that this was not the proper thing
to do we accord the sincerest res pect for
their opinion But right or wrong it j.
very certain that when the people o,
Brule county. including II contempt
rary, are ready to enforce the game laws
among the farmers as well as the town
people. the public will find the GRAPHIC
with them heart and soul and no on,
will lie awake nights worrying over tn
observance of the law by US personally
In the meantime-while our contempt
rary over the way Is at tiff he vii

For Temperance. Hut Mo-, rreh,bltloa

For Temperance. gSut Not Prohibition.
Rapid City Journal:-Those who have
made for themselves the greatest and
most enduring names In temperance
work have not been prohibitionists.
These who are acknowledged to have
accomplished the greatest results in the
redemption of men from the drink
habit have not tried to leglstate the evil
out OF existence, but rather. to teach alb
s.inence, to encourage and support their
fellow men to rise above evil influences.
Indeed some who have accomplished
noble work in this line think prohibition
is a failure. If they were not people
whose works speak for themselves their
evidenced might be questioned. But no
one attempts to question the honesty of
purpose of such a man as Francis Murphy.
He is a believer in moral suasion. He
has shown to thousands the curse of in
temperance i'll its true light aud has ae-
cemplished a world of good in his efforts
with the laboring masses, who are, more
than any others, sufferers from its raw
ages. Like noble work is being done by
by 7. Y. Powderly. whose eloquent
works and bright example to working
men have tended to materially improve
the condition of thousands. Such men
know well where the drink habit does
the greatest harm. From close assocla.
tien With and study of the toilers they
know how best to approach them witt
a view to the cmelioratiou of their condl
ton. They do not say in the words O.
the, prohibitionist 1--WE will compel yol
to abstain from intoxicating liquors by
enactment and enforcement of u string
ent law which shall close the saloons
On the contrary they strive to awaken
in their hearers a correct understanding
and appreciation of the evil effects o
drink upon the individual, upon tn
home, upon the present conditions an
future prospects, to show wherein the.
may be bettered financially, socially ant
morally and in every way by abstinence
The results accomplished speak of tn
efficacy of their work. Can any prohiD:
E zionist show as proud n record of actno
? benefit wrought to humanity?
