Them's my sentiments, as the
old man said OF the Lords prayer.
There's good religion. good
politics and good business in what
that New York brother says,
We Prohibs have settled to our
satisfaction atleast, that Prohibi-
ton is right, and therefore any
church that opposes it must be
wrong, and we should act accor-
dinghy. Fhe resolutions passed by
the churches in favor OF Prohibi-
tion are exactly like the declara
tions of the Republican party on
tha subject.
They pass resolutions against
the liquor traffic and the very
people who draft the resolutions
intend at the time to vote for
liquor.
1t is very easy matter to dem
onstrate that the church is the
enemy of Prohibition. There are
100000 churche member voters
in the United States; and only
25O,OO0 all total who vote for
Prohibition, and all the rest vote
against it.
In other words when one
church member votes against the
liquor traffic there are twenty
church members who vote for it.
When a man gives twentv-o one
cents to the church, twenty cents
of it go to keeping up the liquor
traffic, and one cent goes toward
putting it down. A Prohibi-
zionist who gives anything to the
support of the church furnishes a
stick to break his own head.
If you do not think this is a
one sided transaction just try the
experiment of asking any church
to raise money to help the Prohi-
bitiOn party. They will raise
money to build fine churches and
pay big salaries to fancy preachers,
and buy them gold headed canes
and watches, or to send them to
the sea shore or Europe or Pal
estine or the devil; but you ask
any one of your churches to make
an appropriation to assist the Pro-
hibitiOn party to save the women
and children from all the horrors
of the liquor traffic, and they will
laugh at you.
If the PrOhibitiOnists in every
state would give no more to any
church and give all to the Prohi-
bition party that they have been
giving to the churches, We would
have fund that would be ample
for all our wants for Prohibition
purposes, and if anything would
bring the churcher to their senses
thai would.
/ believe another ''irrepressible
conflict has begun, and that it
will end in. war just like the sla-
very question did. Slavery was
no iniamy at all compared with
the liquor traffic. 1t only en-.
slaved the bodies of men and
women and children, but it had
many redeeming features.
But there lis not one single pail
ating feature in the liquor traffic
While we are as weak numeri-
cally as we now are we will have
to submit to the liquor powers, but
after a while when the Prohibi-

DEAR SIR AND BROTHER
article, Gone Back" in "The
Beacon" of July %, has a hearty
endorsement by me; except / can
not make claim that | have "gone
back" but l do know by the step
| have taken that | have gone
aheod. So | believe you can, and
do, see. that instead of your having
gone back, you have taken a long
step ahead.
The attitude of the so-called
Christian church to the liquor
license party should be suffi-
cient cause for every .Prohibi-
zionist to sever his connection with
the church, and to educate and
urge every person to never enter
its fold.
Icould not be reconciled in my
conscience while l remained in
the church, after | saw how COM
pletely subst rvient it was to the
liquor license party.
TO remain in that organization
and give it my moral and material
support was an endorsement Of its
attitude to the Gigantic crime of
crimes besides | saw that | was
clearly, TO that extent of my
ability and connec' ion, ,perpetuaing
that curse which was laboring to
suppress.
| know | am often told by
some who are superficial in
thought and investigation, that |
could have held my relation with
the church and yet be free from
the responsibility of what others
of the members did, and that |
ought to stay in the church and
help purify it, etc.
Christ had such logic presented
to him, but he said he must build
anew from the foundation, aud
that to have gone into the Jewish
church would have involved him
in the sins of that church, and the
perpetuations thereof. Did you
ever think Of the result if every
Prohibition man aud woman
should on this great issue, step
out Of the church and pour the
vast volume of their money which
they now give to that organiza-
ton into Prohibition channels! ''

Mr.. Moore.
DEAR SiR-I see from your last
weeks paper that you are going
to discontinue the publication of
the Blade. From further reading
l see that there is a prospect of
your getting Brother Bob Neal to
join you in editing and publishing
the Blade.
| think the partnership will be
a very good one; for by Brother
Meals inspection of your pieces
before they go to the hands Of the
printer, two bad words, beginning
with d, will either be entirely
erased or abbreviated.
You are too highly cultured a
gentleman not to know that under
ordinary circumstances it is wrong
to use words in writing which you
expect to be read by ladies', when
a mere regard for etiquette forbids
the use of such words in female
society.
While l like your uncompro-
missing Prohibition sentiments,
yet l seriously object to the i'm
pure and irreverent way in which
you speak of Jesus Christ. In
one fyOur issues you said you
wondered why Lew Wallace did
not weave a love story Of Jesus
Christ with Mary Magdalene. In
still another issue you said you
did not believe that the birth of
Jesus was owing to liaison of
God with a woman.
Now if you have no regard for
the Christian religion have some
respect for the feelings of those
who look upon Jesus Christ as the
Savior of mankind.
owe you for years subscrip-
tion, which | will send you a
check for after the first Saturday
in October, ify you will send me a
bill of the exact amount.
Very truly wish | could say
Christianly-yOurs,
JOHN b. INGRLs.

DEAR SIR have read with
considerable interest the write up

touched John Pew; the Superin-

the First Presbyterian church, a
regular attendant at prayer meet

aspires to an eldership in the
church, but they have not quite
cheek enough to elect him while
he superintends and runs Peppers

Just think of his running a
distillery six days in the week and
a Presbyterian Sunday school on
the seventh.

| would rather have you sign
your name, and look like you were
not afraid, but | publish this be-
cause / personally know the main
part of it to be true, and suppose
it all is.
Yes. it's a sweet combination to
be a superintendent of a Sunday
school and the superintendent of a
distillery at the same time.
Col. Pepper has lately published
how his own brother got him into
trouble by drinking the whisky
that the Colonel and Bro. Pew
get up.
There is only one other class of
business houses in the world, that
is SO damnable as Lexington
distillery, and that is shebang
like that First Presbyterian church
that puts a distiller's hireling at
the head of a Sunday school to let
them absorb his liquor traffic ideas
io the name of religion.
Bro Few, aside from his bnsi-
ness, is a nice man, and so is Col.
Pepper; and, for that matter, so
was Jesse James. But | would.
forty to one, rather see Col. Pep
per in the pulpit of the First Pres
byterian church, and a man at the
head of the Sunday school, who.
by precept aud example, would
teach the boys of Lexington the
danger of whisky than to have il
as it is now. IfCol. Pepper were
in the pulpit there would not be
any hypocrisy in him, and the
people he would talk to would be
old enough to look out for them
selves. But Bro Pew has the boys
just at the time of life to make an
impression on them
The literary genius that has
MADE me bloatod bond holder
as editor of the Blade, came very
near being diverted in my early
life into the making of cutting
boxes.
Ny first Sunday--schoo teacher
made cutting boxes.
That First Presbyterian church,
with distillery superintendent at
the head of its Sunday-scbool, is
a worse institution than Col. Pep
per's distillery.
The distillery does its b sihess
open and above board. 1t deals
~ith full grown men, and nobody
is fooled by it. Col. Pepper, in
his late published letter about his
brother, has been candid enough
to intimate 10 us pretty plainly
that he is too smart TO drink his
own whisky.
Bro. Pew however as an honest
man can not dare to teach the
boys in his Sunday school that
they ought not 10 drink whisky.
He has no right to take Col.
Peppers money for conducting
his distillery and then try to break
down the Colonel's business, un
derhandedly by teaching the boys
that they ought not to drink the
Colonel's whisky. And | will bet
he would not dare to teach those
boys that they oughi not to drink
anybody's whisky. 1t would take
a cheek like a government mule
for him to do SO, and Col. Pepper
ought to fire him as high as a
rocket if Bro. Pew says word
against whisky drinking.
If Bro. Pew is a consistent man,
and loud PRAYER, he ought, in his
closet and publicly, to ask God to
help him to make good whisky
and heap of it, and help Bro.
Pepper to sell it. No Christian
man ought to g,t his living at the
hands of another man unless he is
willing to ask God to bless that
man in his business.
1t is sad to think how the
youths of our land are being sys-
tematically educated in whisky
drinking, but so far as the
churches are concerned L do not
care a snap for them.

The adjournment of Congress brought activity
TO the stock market to-day but in the direction
that Mas not expected. In the morning hours
prices of q few stocks, notably Burlington and
Quincy and Northern Pacific preferred. advanced

exceeded only by few spccia,tcs The afternoon
decline was on fictitious rumors Of big bank
failure in London. large engagements Of specie
for shipment, and few other things of less
importance. Arbtragc dealers between tins and
the London market professcd ignorance Of any
important embarrassment abroad, and apparently
they were buyers of their favortc stocks. That
the appearance may have been deceptive was
suggested by the strength of the foreign EXCHANGES
and the probability OF large exports % Eo;u.
