bukc for the lawlcss liquor seller?
Why pour out the walls Of your
wrath upon the suffering, heart
broken mothers and wives, driven
to desperation by these law break
ing rum tratiickers? Is it because
the liquor.saloonists have u vote,
and are an important factor in
politics, while the women have
no voice in the government
which taxes them and subjects
them to humiliation and sorrow
by licensing the sale of intoxica-
ting liquory "a wholesome re-
gard for the law is the essential
attribute of a good law-makcr
and a good citizen" Are liquor
sellers, as q class, good citizens?
A line, just a line, please, The
Times. about those whisky sci.
lers, who violate the law. Don't
these men, as a class, violate the
law Don't they sell on Sunday!
Don't they sell to minors? II

If the introduction of the fem

be an awful calamity, pray tell

Like the others, this communi-

We need a strong Prohibition
paper in our city, edited by a
man like yourself, j. w. Sawyer

and not man; who love their
fellow-men and the truth.

dollars on payment Of my share OF the

receive it on that claim. beg that you
will keep it and use it in the cause you
are advocating.

test, and wheth-r ] shall live to be at

I do honestly and sincerely
wish the whole world "a Happy
New Year"
Never in my connection with
journalism have I had such rea-
son to be grateful to my fellow
countrymen as l have on this the
3Oth day of December, 1890.
My last issue asked the people
to pay me or send me word that
they intended to do so, or that
they did not intend to do so, and
that I should be thankful in any
event.
l have gotten only one or two
orders to discontinue my paper,
while people from distance have
sent me their money, and on the
street here they have handed il
to me, and all with compliments
that are exceedingly fattering
Beside this I have good big
hunk of money in the Second
National Bank, and plenty Of
credit when that gives out, and
more money coming. Cashier
Nicholas is requested to tell any
body about my status there, who
asks him about it in the proper

I have just received money
from Lexington, Harrodsburg

upon the Prohibitionists, and quo.

tells of Christ changing water into
wine at Cana ofGalilee, and advo.
eating high license as the proper

WOMEN AS POLITICIANS.
A wholesome regard for the

it may at the moment seem to the
individual, is the essential attribute
Of a good lawmaker and a good
citizen. If there be something in
herent to sex that distorts the
moral and mental sense of these
women crusaders and renders them
incapable Of comprehending the
limitations and the burdens as well
as the privileges of law, then there
is little to hope for in the introduce

GEORGETOWN, Ky Dec. 20, 80
G. c. Moore, Esq.
DEAR SIR :-Incloeed l send
you two dollars to pay for The
Blade one year.
When it came, supposing it
was merely specimen copy, and
upon my failure to send the
money it would stop itself, still
received it merely by way of suf-
ferance, not knowing how soon
the papcfA itself would cease to
operate, and you must pardon me,
Charley, when | tell you | was
fearful you would say or do some
thing that would wound the feel
ings of some of your readers, not
supposing for a moment that you
would be after Col. Breckenridge,
DR.. Dudley, and Mr.. Anterior,
as common enemies to Prohibi-
liOii VI temperance.
l trust you will not for one
moment entertain such a convic-
ton.
When the Prohibition party
came to the determination to run
Congressional candidates, l wrote
to Col. Breckenridge to know if
he would not consent to accept
our nomination, and advocate the
principles of Prohibition, and
save us from hunting a new man,
but | received no answer from
him. A short time afterwards,
however, he came to Georgetown
and | met him on the street,
when he informed me he had
received my letter, but he said he
hardly knew how to answer it,
that there was really no better
temperance man than he was.
but that the whisky question was
a very difficult one to handle,
and if l correctly understood him,
no man was more anxious to put
and end to the thing than he,
if he could only see where or
how to take hold Of it, but for
the life of him he could not see
what was best to do to get rid of
it.
Subsequently, when some gen
tleman introduced a measure in
Congress to prohibit the intro
luction of unbroken packages
nto States that were opposed to
t, l took the liberty of writing
he Colonel that / thought he
would be rendering acceptable
ervice to good cause by aiding
n the passage of the law, but
gain / failed to receive any an
wer, but upon reading the pa
'ers l found he was opposed to
he law and voted against it.
'erhaps the Colonel thought its
would do more harm to
he good cause of temperance
han good. If 50, who can blame
i'm for voting against it and
'ho can blame DR.. Dudley for
oting for him, even if he did
ote for Fisk for President some
wo or three years before? Per-
APPS if the Doctor will read care
nlly Mrs. Henry's address to the
Constitutional Convention, he
ill see less objection to Woman
uffrage and Woman's Rights.
Tut We must exercise patience.
18th these distinguished gentle
Zen; perhaps they will soon be
18th us. Respectfully yours,
