Prohibition-A Dead Issue.

Some ten or twelve weeks ago we
accepted a challenge from friend Joel
Miller, otherwise 'sPumpkinvine," of
that prosperous country across the
Arkansaw, south of Pawnee Rock, to
60 into q discussion of the question OF
whether or not prohibition was the best
method of controlling the liquor traffic;
asch party in the discussion to furnish
nix letters to be published in the
DEMOCRAT. Friend Miller has had his
fifth ''say" and this will be the fifth
letter in which we have answered to

Bro. CARAwAY, in last weeks Req
lister, dishes up to his readers, for the
shird time, we believe, the resolutions
Of that little township alliance up in
Smith county wherein they endorse
ingalls,, etc. That's right, neighbor.
Hold on to those resolutions are
probably the only ones of the kind you
viii be able to get hold of for many
. day; and some day they may be
valuable as literary curiosity. AS a
practical printer we suggest that you
send them to Topeka and have them
stereotyped so that you may keep them
standing in your paper without under
going loss by wear and tear on your
type. But don't get them in on your
patent alliance side," they would look
lonesome.
