The Late supreme Court Decision.

AND OTTlZEN.
DIsTINCTIVELY PROHIBITIONIsT.
The right which the court now affirms is
one the liquor dealers have been exercising
year after year, and we doubt if the recent
decision makes much if any difference to
Iowa, Kansas Maine, or the two Dakotas.
Prohibition States have always had to con
tend against this undoubted right. 1t may
give the liquor dealers more confidence to
work more openly. What next? On to Con-
gressl The decision has made this a nation
al question. There is no good reason why
saloon should not still be closed nui-
sance. The rights still left to the States are
% To prohibit the manufacture within the
States limits. (2) To prevent sales except
in original packages. (3) To prevent even
these if they disturb or endanger the peace
1.-THE Voice.
The good time is coming when we shall
have a congress of temperance men. Millions
of Thoughtful men will study this problem,
and will vote for a Congress that will provide
protection for the life health and comfort OF
the people 1-Gen c. b. Fisk in Bradstreet's.

A government of rumsellers is dreaded. No
one interested in the justice of a suit wishes
managed by them, or have them IN response
BILE offices connected with education and reli-
gion. controlling railroads or the telegraph,

them there. There is but one remedy-the
destruction of the rum-shOp. How? 10000
