That letter contained five dol

called "Bill." | sent it back i'm
mediately upon the reception OF
the letter. The lady is poor. Her
husband is fine artist, portrait
painter. In some instances ar
fists are not affinent.
That lady was born and reared
under the classic elms of New
Haven Connecticut, and was a stu
dent at Yale College.
She had heard of the cultivation
of Lexington and she came here
to live. She has seen how the
liquor traffic is debauching this
city and state, and says now that
she and her husband would 90 to
Kansas, if she could be assured
that it would remain a Prohibi-
ton state.
She is the daughter of a minis
ter.
Another lady, one of the most
cultivated of this state has written
me to the same effect as this letter,
but asks me not to publish her
letter.
There is one good thing about
this paper. 1t does not owe a
human being in heaven, earth Dor
in the other place single niclsfl,
and there are great many peoE Die
who owe it.

4 Challenge.

The following challenge appears in
the Southern Journal Of Louisville,
KY, and it is accompanied by the first
article on the liquor side from the pen
of the man with the euphonius name.
Mrs. Henry will no doubt accept the
challenge, and the Journal will print
both sides:
Mrs. Josephine X. Henry, 1 hereby
challenge you to discuss the position
of the prohibitionists, whose argu-
ments 1 claim are absurdly illogical.
1 challenge you because you are a
lady, and, as l claim to be a gentle
man, our readers would get arguments
and not billingsgate. or course ]

me shots from his little pea-shooter,
but if it should amuse him no one
should find fault"

GIGANTIC OBSTACLE TO REFORM.
Colonel Polk, Of the Farm~rs' Alliance

Colonel Polk, Of the Farm~rs' Alliance,
Brands the Liquor Trame.
M. NJ. White, Of Gastonia, N. c.,
sends to The Voice an important in
terview that he has had with Colonel
l.. L. Polk, President Of the National
Farmers Alliance and Industrial
Union. Mr.. White says that he was
at Kings Mountain, N. c., on July 25,
when Colonel Polk spoke there. He
was anxious to know the views of the
Farmers Alliance leader on the liquor
question. and had a private talk with
him, in the course of which Colonel
Polk expressed himself as follows:
"The liquor traffic is one Of the
most gigantic obstacles in the way Of
all reforms, and Senator Carlisle is at
the head Of the liquor business. No,
/ can't say that it is the chief obstacle.
The money power of both Europe and
America is combined against us, and
the two probably form as great an OBJ
stacle as the liquor traffic The Al
lance views the liquor question as a
moral question. Yes, it is financial
question too, but the Alliance will not
overload with too many issues. The
Alliance will endeavor to obtain other
reforms first and then attack the
saloon. Well, 1 assure you, the Al
lance is not going to become entang-
led with questions over which the
churches are divided and quarreling."
To ascertain whether Colonel Polk
was correctly reported, copy Of the
interview was mailed to him by The
Voice with the request that he would
state whether it reflected his views,
and to alter it and add to it anything
that he thought should be included, il
he should find it imperfect. In his
reply, Colonel Polk explains that what
he said in his talk with the gentleman
at Kings Mountain was intended to
be purely personal and private;"
that, although he had decided convic-
tons about the liquor question, he
believed, as the official head Of a great
organization that had as yet given no
expression to. its position, he felt it
would be exceeding the prophecies and
prerogatives Of his office to give any
public expression of his own views"
Colonel Polk does not say in his letter
that the interview misrepresented his
opinion in any way.

mics from your friends, and you
would know where you stand.
l heard a Lexington man say
to another the other day-one of
our most successful business
men-"Moore is honest; | believe
in him, and his paper is doing
great good, but it is bound to 90
down, and it is a great pity, be-
cause he will not run it on a
sound business basis, and no pa
per can stand that" | said moth
ing to nobody but l happened
to know that man has paid his
subscription.

time ago which explains itself, but
which | did not mail because l
have not been able TO get down

A Kentucky Minister who does
not Like the way L Talk
About Miracles.

JUNCTION CITY, KY, Sept. 4, 81.
Charles C. Moore, Lexington, Ky.
DEAR SIR-Enclosed l send you
one dollar, for which you will
please send me one copy of "The
Rational View.
| admire you for your untiring
war against sin, and shall try to
read your book intelIigently. You
are evidently right in opposing the
liquor traffic, the great curse of
the nation, but you are "crank"
on the question of miracles.
l read the Blade carefully and,
as you have requested Of your
readers, l herewith give my judg-
ment that your paper would be
more interesting and profitable to
the public, and the world would
never lose one iota of valuable
thought if you would never open
your mouth, or WELD your pen,
again on the question of miracles,
unless you can do vastly better
job than anything yet said in the
Blade on that subject.
Like the old cow you give a
bucket of good temperance milk
and then kick it over with a
TRADE about the whale swallowing
Jonah and the preaching of
Balaam's donkey. What logical
connection has the subject of
whether Jonah swallowed the
whale or the whale swallowed
Jonah, or that Jonah jumped on
its back and rode ashore, to do
with whisky drinking and drunk
ards?
Continue the Blade. Eulogize
the good women. Expose hypo-
critical action in religion aud
politics, and smite the liquor
traffic; but take heed ifyou con
tinue striking Bible miracles; for
you will certainly dull, double and
twist your Blade, aud make it
worse than a ten cent frog stick
ing knife.
Yours for the whole truth,

If Bro. Zachary can't swallow
what / have said about miracles
in the Blade, 1 am afraid he will
have trouble in the spirit when he
gets to reading the Irrational
View.
My reason for opposing miracles
and all supernaturalism in religion
will probably be elaborated else.
where in this issue of the Blade
and / will not make the argument
here.
1 am opposed to the belief in
miracles simply because there
never was such thing,as a mir
acle, and the people are substi.
tuting belief in such things fol
the practice of the moral teachings
Of TIE christian religion.
If Bro. Zachary should meet a
man about his town who believes
in ghosts and witches. | believe
he would try to teach that man
better.
But 1 might ask him, as he
asks me, what difference does il
make whether anybody believes
in witches?
Bro. Zachary thinks the Blade
will see trouble if l keep striking
at Bible miracles. He may be
right about that. [ don't know.
Ny judgment is against them, and
l will write as L believe, let the
consequences be what they will.
/ want to moralize the people.
The Christian code is the highest
standard of morals among us, and
| like it. The most competent
thinkers do not believe in miracles
and are not going to do it, and
there is no reason why they should
do it, and they are opposed to the
whole Christian religion because
its teachers at this day insist on
mixing Jewish fables and super
stition and ignorance and lying
with the moral precep:s that say
we should be kind and good to
each other, and do all we can to
advance the happiness of our tel-
low men.
The question of miracles bears
directly upon religion, and relig-
ion bears upon politics, and Pro-
hibition is politics. Jonah and
the whale are a miraculous fish
story, and therefore that story has
to-day direct bearing upon the
Prohibition cause at Junction
City, Kentucky.
There are 100000 church
voters in the United States. And
yet in all this government, there
are only 100000 people, all told
that vote for Prohibition. Sup
posing all of these Prohibition
voters to be church members-and
l know there is one of them who
is not-and then for each church
member who goes up to the polls
and votes for Prohibition-just as
Jesus Christ and his twelve disci-
pies would all do, if they were
here, and all of those women thai
loved him, if the Democrats and
Republicans would let them
