l was not long since the guest
of the Y. M. G. A. by special in
vitation, and my paper was COM
plimented and every mark OF
kindness shown me by all who
were there.
Mr.. William Curren, its Presi-
dent was not present.
About three weeks since a good
Christian man who has no cOnnec
ton with the Y. M. c. A. said to
me that he thought ought, IN
the Blade, to make comment on
the fact that the President of the
Y. nj. G. A. was not a Prohibition
list.
l am now in good shape for
that comment.
AS to the propriety of their re-
ceiving the Blade, that is of course
a question of conscience or OF
taste, concerning either OF which
"non est disputdndum", and under
no circumstances would it be be
coming for me to say.
But / have this to say. While
my religious status is such that il
would not be right for me tt
make any suggestion to any Y. M
g. A., regarding its theological
tenets, / do unhesitatingly say
that if the purpose of the Y. NJ
c. A. is the promotion of morals
by the most effective means nov
known, no man who is not a Pro
hibitiOnist from the crown of hi
head to the sole of his foot should
be made President of it; and in thu
whole United States ! do no
know any body of men that fur
nishes men more inappropriate
for Presidents of any neral assO
citation than the Board of Alder
men and Common Council of thu
city of Lexington.
As l said, l am not in shape t.
advise "OrthOdOx" Christian men
but if / were a member of an,
Rationalistic or moral association
| would object very seriously
yea, l would kick, with all the vim
and celebrity of mule. at thu
proposition to make any maj
President of it who would vote t.
give any man license to sell liquor
and especially in whisky soaked

without getting out of his saloon,
and one speech from Col. Pres.
Kimball down in Irishtown would
do the whole business.
l am not exagerating or joking.
There are a thousand men in Lex
ington l believe, who would tell
you that this is true.
Can you conceive of Andrew
Jackson as delegate to that
Democratic Convention at Louis
vile the other day? How do you
suppose he would have looked
when "Quinine JIM called "Our
JOS" resolutions O string of old
"dried apples" and sour Jo' told
him that he was too drunk for
him to resent the insult.
Think about "Old Hickory"
being told that that gang was the
party of which he was the daddy.
and that the very leaders of it
were now the fellows who shot at
the flag that he fought under at
New Orleans, against old Packen-
ham, and then packed his hams
in a butt of mamsey and shipped
him back to England as freight!
1 would nate to be the fellow
that had the job of telling him
that that was the gang he be-
longed to, and would be expected
to train with.
Think of Andrew Jackson being
on a Committee oil resolutions
with 10 Blackburn, and trying to
lug into one of them what he said
on that old medallion.
Think how he would cuss "By
the eternal" if he should hear 10
Blackburn tell his Indian, whisky
story, and imagine the picnic
there would be when 10 proposed
to lead him out by the ear.
1t liketer killed me when read
about Jim calling JOS resolutions
an cold string of dried apples" -
those resolutions over which 10
had bowed the massive dome of
his thought through the silent
midnight hour to get up some
thing that would eternally squelch
old Grover, because Grover didn't
give JOS brother a big office after
he heard how JOS brother had
proposed to ride horseback all
the way from here to Washington
in the blood of Yankee soldiers
up to hil bride bit. And it WAS
not a very god day for blood
either.
OF all the OutrageS upon the
human palate that the devil ever
perpertrated | think dried apples
take the cake.
There have been tim,s in the
life of my dear wife and children
and myself when we didn't have
as much to eat as Jay Astorbilt
and those fellows. l have parched
meal by the peck aud eaten it with
salt or sugar, aud been happy; and
give me a ''Col. Sellers" turnip
and salt and some nice Water with
fresh "bead' on it. and | am not
miserable by a jug full. :
But | draw the line at dried ap-
pies, and l have told my Wife that
when we got do vn to them We
would throw up the sponge, and
go under the daisies.
| started out to write a real
moral diatribe on Brer Harrison S
wine bibbling, but | got so far of
the track that l will have to take
another pull at it sometime.

No Della W Allowed.

The courts have decided that the
cOnstitutionality Of Prohibition Is 80
fully settled that further ruling is I'M
necessary. The Prohibitionists Of
Iowa are greatly elated by an import
ant decision rendered by Judge Shiras
in the Federal Court An attempt has
been made to block proceedings under
the late prOhibitOry law by having the
same transferred to the Federal
Courts. Judge Shiras, in a case from
Oskaloosa, ruled that unless new ques-
tiOns were involved the United States
courts would not interfere with state
laws, for which the state courts were
ample. 1t is considered an important
prOhibitOry victory

Mr.. Hempsted washburn, the
Mayor of Chicago, gives us to under
stand in the start that he will not
worry the saloons very much. In
answer to a committee of elergymen
who went to thank him for his position
on gambling. he said:
." 1t is hardly necessary To formally
thank ne for doing my duty. 1t shall
certainly be my purpose to maintain
law and order in Chicago, but it may
be, gentlemen, that / cannot do some
things that you would like to have
me do. For instance, in regard to the
liquor question I probably hold much
more liberal views than you do. / am
thoroughly German on that issue"
The following from The Evening
Journal of May . explains the new
MAYORS position:
49, As long as L am Mayor of Chiea-
go, the saloons of the city will be open
on Sundays BY that emphatic dec
laration of his position Mayor Wash
burn this morning disposed of any
idea that the police force will be called
upon to enforce the statute long obso-
lete in Chicago requiring saloons to be
closed on Sunday. and enforcing PEN
alties for non-obscrvance of its pro-
visions.
- shall make no attempt eontin-
ued the Mayor, to put tlead-letter
blue laws in force. The ordinances
requiring front doors to be closed and
blinds drawn on Sunday, thus secur-
inSan orderly observance of the day,
will be enforced. but that is all -"

The Secretary of War has decided in
answer to the question of the Com
mandant of Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
that the law prohibiting the sale of in
toxieating liquors in army eanteens
situated in Prohibition States is per-
manent one. The law was passed as
an amendment to the Army Appro-
priation Bill, but does not lapse
through the failure of Congress to
pass any appropriations.

Preacher Candidates

Ohio ProhibitionistS are engaged in
a somewhat warm discussion as to
the advisability ofnominatinS minis
tiers. Perhaps the following is the
correct view of the case:
L. A preacher has just as much
right to be nominated for Office as any
other Prohibitionist.
2. Any other Prohibitionist has
just as much right to be nominated
for office as a preacher.

President Harrison sets u bad
Example.

In San Francisco lately, Presi-
dent Harrison addressed meet
ing of his College fraternity, and
at the close of his remarks lifted a
glass of Champagne and said 81
propose that we drink to the
order to which we have given our
allegiance and our love-.
That's the way a modern Presi-
dent does it.
The other day at Louisville,
DIR. Kelly, the Tennessee Prohi-
bition champion, while speaking
held in his hand an old medallion
that he had brought from among
the effects of "Old Hickory" at
1.-The Hermitage.
He held it up and read from
one side nf It IA follows;
Being satisfied, from observation
and experience, as well as from medi-
cal testimony, that ardent spirit at
drink, is not only needless but hurt
full and that the entire disuse of il
would tend to promote the health. the
virtue and the happiness of the com
munity. we hereby express our con
| viction, that should the citizens of the
United States and especially all the
young men, discOuntenance entirely
the use of it, they would not only pro
mote their own personal benefit, but
the good of our country and the
world.
JAMES MADISON.
| ANDREW JACKSON.
JOHN QUINCY ADAMS.
October, 1884,
That's the way the old Presi.
dents talked.
Andrew Jackson was thought
to be something of a Democrat il
his day, but there is not an Office
in Lexington that he could gel
to day, and if he should com.
here and dare to read that OLD
medallion where any Democrat
in this town could hear him, h.
might have James Madison anC
John Quincy Adams to stump the
town for him and John j. Sullivan
