WILLIAM X. RAwLINs.
like to publish this good old
gentleman's letter. It's a good re-
buke to me and others. You see
from letters that l publish some
times that people find fault with
what l say.
l don't blame them. Its a source
of continual surprise to me that
they don't do so more than they do.
But this old gentleman has no
complaint to make. His religion
and his Prohibition politics are so
mixed that its hard to tell which is
which and which isn't.
He never saw me in his life and
l have no claim on earth on him,
but he kindly calls me Charlie"
and he is going to help The Blade
all he can. l reckon nobody
doubts the genuineness of his re-
ligion, but he has no fault to find
with me. lie feels that his remain
ing years are few, and he can't see
how any Christian can be anythiny
but Prohibitionist, and he is so
bent on doing good, that he hasn't
any time to be looking up peoples
faults, and its all the same to him
as if they didn't have any.

and charity, these three; but the
greatest of these is charity

here, congratulated me and said he
was glad TO see that there was one
editor in town that was not afraid
to be just.
soon after James M. Coyle, q
radical Prohibitionist, and an off,
Ger in the Christian or Reform
Church met me, and most
heartily endorsed the editorial.
When I was boy have heard
preachers at the church Of which
he is an officer spend hours in
demonstrating the inscrutabilities
of the book Of Revelations, to
mean that the Pope of Rome was
the foster brother Of the Devil, and
that the difference between the two
was not worth talking about.
Captain Treacy is a pretty in
dependent thinker and talker, and
therefore has the elements Of a
Prohibitionist in him.
Not long since he and Presbyte-
rian Councilman Simrall, pooled
their resources for an onslaught
upon Vine Street, a place almost
in the heart of this city, 80 occu-
pied by saloons that a lady does
not want to pass it in the day time,
and where gentlemen do not care
to go at night, but they saw the
current of political sentiment was
so against them that their effort
was no more regarded than a Pc
tition from the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union would be, and
they gave it up.
But it showed that there il Just
as much resentment of the saloon
outrage i'm the better class of
Catholic Irishman, as there is in
the Presbyterian son of a Presby-
terrain preacher. They both hauled
in their horns, when they saw the
liquor men wouldn't have it."
I suppose l have read the utter
ances of prominent Catholic cler-
gymen upon the liquor question as
closely as any man in the State Of
Kentucky, except some Catholic
priest perhaps, and it is not reason
able to suppose that who have
belonged to the Protestant clergy,
would have any lnordinate preju-
lice for any Catholic sentiment,
but if 1 understand the words Of
some of the highest Catholic au-
thorities in America, the Catholic
who engages in the liquor traffic
Just cuts himself off from thesym-
pathy and support of his church.
While therefore men like Prof.
Scott and Captain Treacy are not
,ctually guilty of completely in
his violation Of Catholic prece-
dents, their mere Identification with
he Democratic party of this city
hat encourages Catholics in the
saloon business, while there is a
Prohibition party here that OPP
poses their doing this, and pleads
or robbed and ruined Catholic
[rishmen, is at best, 10 connive at
, fragrant and violent transgression
Of the laws of their church, and
such an one as more than all else
in this country scandalizes that
church.
p. S.-Since the above was
written l find that Captain Treacy

l thought it was strange that a
nan could get into the City
Council of Lexington without
saloon, but had conclu-
led that this was an exceptional
'ase.
