the whole United States, the minority
are ignoring the will OF the majority and
openly defying the people, are pursuing
their damnable traffic under their very
nostrils. But, our friends who ask "Can-
not something be dune?" mustremember
that while the avericious one who are
going into this traffic are defying the
people, their courage is derived from the
action of the supreme court, and there
is little use in spending time and money
in fighting the presentconditlon Of affairs
until congress comes to the rescue. just
so soon as the pending bill is passed, the
original package tramp will steal from
our midst.
Even through the darkness which now
surrounds the question, the silver lining
may be discerned. The supreme court
decision has taught that prohibition is
no more an abridgment OF human rights
than is the license system. This the pro-
hibitionist has always claimed. 1t has
prevented the state from enforcing laws
OF its choice and the result has and will

Prohibition is now a national issue
and it will be the leading issue between
the two great parties OF the future. The
democratic party. has already boldly
placed itself on thequestion. The repub-
lican party is in doubt. The masses of
the party are radical on the subject.
The leaders are not in sympathy with
them, but anxious for votes, and as a
result we find the party taking different
positions in different localities. The
has come when it must define it's
position. If it squarely on the
question, it has secured a renewed lease
life. Ii it continues to hesitate, the
opportunity will be lost and the coming
be it prohibition Or labor union,
will step into the arena.

HEAVEN AND EARTH,

AND EARTH.
There are no shadows where there is no sun;
There Is no beauty where there is no shade;
Darkness and light. ebon and gold inlaid.
God comes among us through the shrouds of air;
And his dim track is like the silvry wake
Left by yon pinnance on the mountain lake
Fading and reappearing here and there.
The lamps and wells through heav'n and earth
that move,
Go in and out, as jealous of their light,
Like sailing stars upon Il misty night.
Death is the shade OF coming life; and Love
iearns for her dear ones in the holy tomb,
Because bright things are better seen III gloom.

A mURDEROUs LOVER.

How He Greeted >, HIS sveetheart
With Pistol Shot and Pursed Her
Until He Killed Her.
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla, Oct. Miss Ma
mie Joseph, daughter of Bernard Joseph,
prominent merchant here, was murdered
yesterday by Alexander Campbell, her re-
jected lover.
About noon, Mrs. Joseph, Miss Mamie
and Mrs. w. D. Allen and her baby were
sitting in the hallway of the Joseph man
sion in conversation. Suddenly Alexander
Campbell entered without knocking. Mrs.
Joseph said, 'Mamie, take Mr.. Campbell
into the parlor." Whereupon Miss Mamie
arose, and, on going towards Campbell
with both hands offered to him, she saw
him take revolver from his coat pocket,
and, divining his intent, she turned and
ran out of the house. Mrs Joseph, Mrs.
Allen and colored servant endeavored by
frantic appeals to Campbell to save Miss
Mamie, but he broke away from them and
fred at the girl, the first shot inficting
only . slight wound. Miss Mamie contin-
ued to run, with the servant trying to
drive, off the assassin, who followed his
victim across the Joseph yard, across Cen
trail avenue and through DR.. Shines side
gate. Mrs. Joseph was meanwhile run
ming around to her front gate, screaming
IN terror, and crying, s'Don't kill Mamie. J"
Their cries were unavailing, and Camp
bell continued, intent on the death of
his victim. AS she faced him again he
fired a second shot, missing her. She then
ran around to the front of Dr. Shines
residence, where she fell backwards in a
bed of flowers. 1t was here at midday, in
the presence of an excited gathering of the
victims friends, beseeching him not to
kill her, that Campbell fred a third shot
through the heart of his victim as she was
trying to rise from the ground. The pis-
tol failed to respond to the fourth and
fifth pull of the trigger The girl fell dead
on the bed of flowers. Campbell was ar
rested and carried to jail.
He says he was engaged to Miss Joseph
several months, but that the girl sent him
a note breaking it off. Last Monday he
called for an explanation, and she said her
marriage to him would be distasteful to
her parents. He then threatened her life,
but she apparently did not think him in

says he expects to be hanged" and seems
Indifferent to his fate. Campbell is ma
