Responsibility OF Stockholders
Of The Blade.

On October - | heard of the
first instance of any stock holder
who hesitated to pay his stock sub
scription. He said he was afraid
it would lay him liable for debts of
the BLADE.
In answer to this | will state the
following:
The articles of Incorporation up
on which the stock was subscribed
stated that no stakeholder would
be liable to any extent more than
the amount of his stock.
In the second place the articles
of incorporation have never been
recorded, and never will be, and
will be returned to any committee
of three gentlemen who may ask
for them.
In the third place if any re-
speisiilhsA4it, eo,Aiad -aatttaeh. te any

thing IL all men who make beasts
of themselves enough TO become
drunk, could be kicked out, if il
would learn them a salutary lesson;
but the saloon keeper smiles So
swcctly, how can they refrain to-
yield him up both soul and body,
and are like hogs that return to
their wallow, and belong as much
to the saloon keeper as il he. had

Haunting their rustling silks, seal
skins and diamonds in the faces of
the poor, brokcn-heartcd wives of
the drunkar,ls, who had paid for
their hnery with robbery of his
wife and children, and his owa souEs
satration. I could tell of many
men, accommodating riches for their
sons, and the saloon keepers rising
on the downfall of those sons, with
the very money their fathers had
made by toll and economy. Oh,
good men, are you willing to make
money to support saloon keepers!
There is not one man who would
refuse to help save city on fire,
when the hungry flames, flying
from house to house. seemed about
to destroy the whole, and leave
many families poor and destitute.
But the sale ofliquor is worse than
a city on fire; for the fire only de
stroys property; the Intoxicating
liquor destroys property, makes a
brute of a man, ruins his family
and destroys his soul. ! will close,

forts for the cause of Temperance,

other to make the world better or to al

We have not yet seen, however, any
record Of bequest to help on the work
of the Prohibition party. Nearly every
week we read of the death Of some earn
est, loyal Prohibitionist, who during life
gave Of his substance to carry on the

who have gone to their long rest would
gladly have begueathed some of their
wealth to keep up the work had they
been reminded of it.

such requests.

campaign was a series Of ovations from
first to last. In Lincoln the opera house
was SO denseiy crowded that more than
thousand people were unable to gain
admission. In a single sentence Miss
Willard answered all the trumped up
figures of Rosewater and Webster in re-
gard to the arrests for drunkenness in
Maine and Nebraska, "In Maine they
arrest the drunken man; in Nebraska he
is so common that he is not arrested ex-
