Dayton (O) Liberator.--The
only sort of prohibition that is worth any
thing is that which prohibits the maau;tc-
ture, sale and Importation in every State
in the union, and is backed up by party
which makes that the supreme Issue.
Vineland IN. J.. Outlook. AT
this stage Of the discussion it ought not
20 be necessary to write two-column
articles to prove that the saloon fosters
crime. Everybody knows that. The
business of the citizen is to quit fostering
5he saloon.

1arrel Of Scotch whiskey as present and
Iets his table with five different brands
If wine; and because he is an elder in thu
Presbyterian church we must not con-
lemn him, or we are charged with

Lincoln (Neb.) New Republic.
A called reform party" that ignores
questions of morality, or considers the in
diligence, virtue and sobriety Of our pao-
Die of secondary Importance to economic
questions. is an absurdity and should re-
,eive the disapprobation OF very voter
Who has any regard for the sacredness of

Wayne County (O.) Herald
That is an exceedingly thin excuse offered
~ some of our Republican exchan yes, wac
ay that Gov. Mckinley will not meet ex-
iov. St. John in joint debate because 'it
s only trick to draw crowd. to hear ST.
John" Come now, are you afraid to trust
Tour crowds to listen to st. John. 1t
ooks very much like it.
| Springfield (O.) New Era. The
Prohibition party is either right or
wrong. If it is wrong it is the duty OF
every honest man to oppose it, whether
there is any probability that it will elect
its ticket or not. If it is right, it is
equally the duty of every honest man to
support the ticket, whether there is any
probability it will elect its ticket.
Lebanon pa Daily Report.
And now Brother Mckinley also declines
Ito meet Brother st. John, of the Pro-
hibition party. As we previously re-
marked, a cause that is afraid of the
American jury before whom ali sidesof
the case are prese nteG, but must rely on
organizes, torch light professions and
campaign clap-trap for success, is very
bad one.
Rockford (In.) Monitor. The
saloon question is up for settlement and
until it is settled and settled, right there
win be, can be, no peace for this nation.
Other issues may be for time pushed to
the front and seemingly oyershadow the
liquor question, but they shall all be
brushed aside until this great nation has
seriously set itself to work and shall have
solved this great question.
Fayetteville Tenn Review
Will the saloon stop if the Republican
/
Harrison's barrel of Scotch rye answer,
or consult the Republican saloon keep
srs of Richmond. There is not a man,
woman or child who believes that if the
Democratic party wins the saloon. will
stop. Everybody knows the Democratic
party is not built that way.
Wheeling (W. Va.) Guest. =
There is no excuse to be made for tha
man who knows prohibition is right, and
then continues to: shut his eyes to the
fact that the party with which he votes
Is supporting a license system. His
action outweighs all his talking and
praying, and the blood of the innocent
women and children that are DESTROYED
every day will be required at his han.is.
The light is before him, if he refuses to
see, he is the loser.
| Springfield co., New Era. =
When a Republican or Democrat COM
plains of the Prohibition party because
it has never done anything he is simply
complaining of his own work. He has
prevented the Prohibition party from
ever doing anything, and now complains
of the rasalt of his own course and lays
the blame on the ones who are trying to
do something. When party can't shoot
and won't give up the gun it ought not
to kick because some other party don't
kill the bear.
