The best friend that the Blade
and | have in the whole world, is
w. W. Goddard, of Harrodsburg,
Ky.
In describing his lovely home
and lovely family, and telling
about his noble character in the
Blade lately, | .jocularly alluded
to his buying a part of his fine
farm "tor spite,' supposing that
my Pickwickian use OF language
was, in that sentence, evident,
and that no man would suppose
that such man could really have
done anything "for spite," much
less buy one of the finest farms in
the state.
But he is man of the most re-
fined sensibilities and he gives me
a good scolding.

Another Prohibition "lslatle.'
and Published ut ElkhOrn.

/ am in receipt of the first issue
of a Prohibition paper called
"The Blade" published at a town
named EIkhorn in Wisconsin.
This is sort of coincidence
when it is remembered that |
have told you that | live on the
banks of a stream named Elkhorn.
1t is also a little remarkable that
when l selected the name for my
paper, though knew of the To-
ledo Blade / did not know it was
a Prohibition paper.
We have therefore, in Prohibi-
ton cutlery, three Blades.
The salutatory Of the Elkhorn
Blade says:
The Blade is a paper which will in
politics support the Prohibition party,
national and state. Believing, as we do
that the liquor traffic is the "crime OF
crimes, the sum of all villaiuies," and
the cause Of more Of the crime and fi-
nancial distress than all other cause
combined, it shall be the aim of The
Blade to try to make others so believe,
not, however, to the exclusion OF other
questions upon which the well-being
and prosperity of the country may de-
pend.
The Wisconsin Blade is per-
haps somewhat more dignified
than the Bluegrass Blade, but l
don't see that deep toned piety in
any Of them that YOU find in the
Bluegrass Blade.
You see none of them have
been preachers like / have, and
when it comes to theology l can
get away with any of them, and
when one of these preacher-for-
fellows, goes Tor
woman suffrage OH that old gag
about "letting woman learn in
silence" and that chestnut about
Prohibition Carrying politics into
the pulpit" | hold all the trumps
and can beat them at their own
game.
Our Wisconsin brother has my
blessing.

Col. IngersOIl's Last Utterances'

The avidity with which the
American people receiS the last
utterances of Col, Ingersoll has
been lately strikingly exemplitied,
and the manner in which that APP
petite has been supplied is trib-
ute to American Journalism.
Last Saturday night the Globe
Democrat, of st. LOUIS, got the
news that the "New York Press
would have in it on Sunday morn
ing a letter trc,e. Ingersoll. The
GID, then wired the Press to wire
the letter to the CD. saying that
the GID. would pay the Press's
price for using it, and would
credit it to the Press. The Press
with great lack of journalistic
courtesy, refused to do this.
The CD. then wired its New
York agent to wait at the Press
office and get the first copy of the
Press that was obtainable, and cut
the letter of Col. Ingersoll into
four pieces and wire it to St. Louis
by tour lines. Both the Press
and the GID. go to press at II
o'clock at night, but there is a
difference OF an hour between st.
Louis and New York, in this in
stance in favor of st. Louis.
When the New York Press had
its edition ready for the mail at ]
o'clock the st. Louis Globe Dem
ocrat had its edition ready for the
o'clock mail with Col. lngersolf,
letter in it, and the letter wa
credited to the New York Press
a beautiful instance of Journalistic
amenity ON thepart of the CD.
The Editor of the GID. explains
editorially that while he does no
personally accept the views of Col
lngersoll his readers demand thu
most interesting news-a tribute
to the Colonel higher than tho

In the Junior year they have
the raillcs for music boxes and
crazy quilts, and in the Senior
year they shoot each other as
"book markers" and get drunk and
kill each other, a. they have done
in the last few days, out at the
Lexington race course.
And thus, as says the poet.

of business, that kind of business
is very much liked.

DRY; but neither the author of the
fourth gospel nor the authors ofthe
synoptics, allude to anything like
a supernatural guidance of their
utterances.
In the Epistles, Paul says, 81
speak as a fool" and "think ! have
the mind of the spirit" 1 quote
from memory not having read
them for years. Expressions alb
solutely incompatible with the
claim of inspiration.
Again it is simply impossible to
conceive how Paul could have
been inspired in that sentence in
which he says to Timothy, "Bring
with thee the cloak that I left at
Troas," simply because a man can
not be inspired to say that which
he already knows and which his
bodily comfort dictates that he
should say.
1 deny that my views upon this
subject are in any way calculated
to demoralize, or to make men any
less earnest Christians.
My own personal'experience is
that just in the ratio that | have
Invested myself of the view Of in
spiration entertained by Rev. Me-
Garvey, have 1 increased my in
telligent zeal to carry into actual
practical life the teachings of
Jesus of Nazareth; and this is the
admitted experience of Others upon
whom I have exercised an inhu-
ence by my rcasonings upon this
subject.

Some Comments upon a COM
nlent.

| want to call the attention of
the readers of The Blade to one
fact.
The Ensign, which prints the
comment upon the Blade is printed
in Uncasville, Connecticut, and it
is Rationalistic with big r.
and a Prohibition with big p
newspaper, and it don't care a
durn who knows it.
Some people are trying to de-
stroy my influence, by asserting
that under the guise of advoca-
ting Prohibition | am trying to
instill Rationalism.
For me to do this would make
me liar and a hypocrite,a and you
can't find any tirst-class man in
Fayette County who says | am
built that way, and if you go to
Dog Fennell and say that, they will
tell YOU that goa are a liar. The
man who thinks | would not chuck
the Blade full of Rationalism from
that katawhampus fac simite OF
mine at the top of the first
column on the first page,to the bot
tom of the last column on the last
page, if | wanted to do it, thinks Il
lie rs big as poor old dead Jumbo.
And when | wrote Rationalism
there would be no more doubt
about what | meant than when |
write Prohibition.
Whatever | may personally be
or before, or mol be.iere, or what
ever my book may sag or not sag,
is horse of another color; | only
insist that the Blade is not really
or apparently, de tocto or quasi Il
Rationallstic paper, or any part or
parcel of such paper.
| have challenged the public,
collectively and individually, to
cut from the Blade samples Of my
alleged Rationalism and SEND
them to me, with the statement
that would print them, it it took
whole side OF the Blade. Thu,
they have declined to do, and
insist, now that the races are on
that they ought to "put up or shu
up"
HI do not know of any Ration
alistic Prohibition paper in tho
L nited States except "rhe En-
sign and it, evidently kind feel

HARRoDsBURG, KY. Apr.-lS9l
Dear Bro. Moore.
From the reading of the first
number of the Blue Grass Blade,
and before | had ever seen you
or heard of you, | marked you at
once for a man of pure heart and
born for special purpose; that
purpose being to assist in
banishing from our beloved
country, Il sin shame and dis,
grace to the civilization and
Christianity of the age.
The bold, l and might say haz-
ardous, onslaught made against
the whisky element ofthe country
by you, never was surpassed by
grand old Cassius Clay, and | will
still hope may be attended with
the same glorious results.
Still believing you to be pure
and conscientious in your every
act, | can not find it in my heart
to breathe a harsh word to you
But, o, my esteemed Brother
let be beg, implore, pray you to
consult some more consideratt
friend before putting into print
such articles as you somtimes lie,
get away with your better self.
Your visit To our house was APP.
