A New Yorker says SGOd has no
use for Plug hat Religion"

PILLAR POINT, N. Y, Dec. IS 81.
Mr.. c. c. Moore, Lexington, Ky.
DEAR SIR-Some time ago /
sent you a dollar to send the
Blade to Mr.. George Miner of this
place, thinking that it might in
fluence him to stop drinking, and
also make a party Prohibitionist
of him. But ] see it is like cast
ing pears before swine and our
substance to dogs. He gets a pen
sion of twenty-fouf dollars per
month, the most of which goes
for whisky.
He has removed to Oswego
County about 40 miles away, leav-
ing a number of bills unpaid.
Please send the balance of the sub
scription to me and oblige.
Mr.. Miner thought he would be
acting the part Of the hypocrlte to
drink whisky and then vote for
Prohibition.
Not half as much as those min
listers who 60 to Conference every
year, and pass resolutions de.
nouncing the liquor traffic as
crime against God and humanity
and then go deliberately to the
polls and vote to perpetuate that
crime.
God has about as much use for
this modern plug hat religion, as
this country has for Benedict
Arnold.
Very truly yours,
O. III. GOULD.

Mrs. III. Augusta Howard Of
Columbus Georgia, writes to
the Blade about Male
and Female PrOstitu.
ton i'm Atlanta.

Mr.. II. Augusta Howard, of
Columbus, Ga, has the love and
friendship of Mrs. Josephine X
Henry. of Versailles, KY That
fact is the "open sesame to the
heart of the purest and truest OF
Kentucky women.
Mrs. Howard has seen some
fugitive copies of the Blade and
has written me letter expressive
of an appreciation of it, that is
far In excess of the papers merit.
Mrs. Howard has written a
communication for the Blade that
is 50 long but so excellent, that |
regret that my columns are not
able to give it all.
| omit the first of it as being
possibly of the least general in-
terest.
Some ladies were attempting
to establish in a Atlanta, home for
the purpose of restoring fallen
women.
In order to get permission to
build such an institution the City
Council had to be petitioned.
They were bitterly opposed to
the establishment of such an in
stitutiOn.
The newspapers of the city de-
nOunced the proposition to estab-
lish such an institution.
Mrs. Towards letter to the
Blade began with verbatim re-
port of what the Councilmen said
and quotes what the newspapers
said.

I have been sending thirty pa
pers to Stanford, KY, for a year.
Not a soul there has ever paid me
a cent.
1 have just received a "Post
Office Department" card, saying
that every one of them except j.
I. Hackley ordered them discon-
tinued.
The postmaster assigns as the
reason, "They simply don't
want it."
1 think that postmaster was
glad to write that. / am glad he
enjoys it. l don't.
Away goes $4,000 at one haul
It's pretty hard On ME that
they could not have done this
months ago, and have saved me
the greater part of that loss.
That's the worst treatment / have
ever received from any set OF men
in all my experience in newspaper
business.
But if We did not have some
thing like that to try US we never
could learn the virue of patience
and forgiveness,
Stanford is the town that has
been under the training of the In
teriOr-Journal, and of the famous
Rev. George o. Barnes.
By the way Bro. Barnes has
struck something new again in
theology. In his last book he says
God has a ,Uife.

You remember there was a sick
Federal soldier in the National
Military Home in Ohio, who said
he agreed with me in politics and
religion and wanted the Blade, but
said he could not pay me then be-
cause he had no money, but would
pay me if he could ever get the
money.
/ said / did not want him to
pay for it, but | wanted some man
who "hated the YANKEES worse
than snakes during the war, but
had forgiven all of them who
voted for Prohibition" 10 pay for
it; and you see where the dollar
comes from.
Here's dollars dougnuts that if
Foraker fires on "Blue Coat
brother out of the National Home,
he can find better home and Just
as free at Hartman.
And yet there are people who
do not believe in the raUens.

TO ALL PERSONS TO WHOM
THE BLADE MAYCOME.

The issue of Oct. 31st begins
the second year of the Blade, and
l hope that those who intend TO
take it will be as prompt as they
can in paying me for lt-s2-0O a
year for persons in good eircum-
stances, and 81 90 a'year for per-
sons who can not afford to pay
more, and will tell me 50.
The Blade will go to all persons
to whom it went last year who
have lot ordered it discontinued
Those who have not paid me
for last year will please do so. if
they feel that they ought to do 50,
and if not, please notify me to dis
continue it, in order that / NAV
not incur further loss by sending
it TO them.
L will have no collector and will
not dun you for it.
1T you are willing to paw me
send the amount by mail and you
will receive a receipt.
Fraternally yours,
CHARLES G.. MoOsE.

The Blade went to Mr.. Miner
four months at the rate of one
dollar a year and 1 send back 67
cents to Bro. Gould. On every
paper that l send out for one dol
lar l lose nine cents a year with
out allowing one cent for my own
labor and board or travelling eX-
penses.
1t costs me one dollar and nine
cents a year to print each number
of the Blade-money that l actu
ally pay out.
On that transaction with Bro.
Gould then, l lose 3 cents on the
paper, 3 cents for postal note and
two cents for a stamp, making 8
cents l lose beside the stationery
to write on.
Now if l had insured Mr.. Miner,
30 as to make him a sober man and
third party Prohibition voter
this would not look SO bad, but |
did not insure that.
Old Kelley with his bichloride
of gold, that Bro. q. B. Winslow
of Louisville says cures So per cent
of his patients, will not insure a
single patient, and he charges
ninety dollars for three months,
and is at comparatively no expense,
and it takes no brains to do what
he does.
Kelley gets his money in adj
vance and holds on to every cent
of it.
When Miner died in a drunken
debauch after having been "cured"
by Kelley, the doctor never
sent him back a cent, that anybody
ever heard of, though Miner had
done more for him than any man
in America.
When it is recollected that all
these people are New York people
and that Gould is a very rich
name, and Miner the name of the
most abandoned kind of a drunk
ard it looks a little tough on me

An Apology to Rev. Cody.

In last week issue of the Blade,
l blasted Rev. Cody of George
town. KY, in connection with
some other preachers because they
would not sign the "million vote
agreement" 1 supposed that none
of them We're Prohibitionists, but
| have since learned that Rev.
Cody is Prohibitionist, and that
he has voted with the party and
intends to do so. He has reasons
that are satisfactory to him for
not signing the "million vote
agreement.
l thought his refusal to sign it,
signifed, as in the other cases,
that he was not a Prohibitionist.
/ have no faith in the religion
and intelligence of any may who
is not a Prohibitionist, and /
think that any preacher who is
opposed to Prohibition is Just as
fit for the pulpit as an ex-convict
is for the cashiership of a bank.
Though nearly all Prohibition
lists are signing the "million vote
agreement and are getting others
to do it, it is no test of a mans
loyalty to Prohibition, and Pro-
hibitionist of no less prominence
than Axel Gustafson has written
against the "milion vote agree
ment.
1 beg pardon Bro. Cody.

Since WRITING the above

Since writing the above, 1
have looked at my books, and find
that the Loevenharts have never
advertised with me, but that Mr..
Werts has, as the agent of Wan
namaker, the Sunday school Post
Master General Prohibitionist,
who put up one hundred thousand
dollars to elect Bro. Harrison, the
Presbyterian "Home Trade" tariff
protectionist who gets his
whisky by the barrel from Scot
land, and his Champagne from
Italy made by the Mqfa that
raised hell, butchering innocent
American citizens down at New
Orleans not long ago.
1 used to keep the books at the
Transcript, but took particular
pains not to find out its circulation
so that 1 could not lie about it, as
editors generally do. 1 want to
say to Bro. Werts, that if he can
get started in his business again
and will bring me his advertise
ment after Neal and 1 make our
combination, I will printit in a cir
cular of nearly if not quite, 10000
papers, and it shall not cost him a
cent, and I think that will be
easily four or five times the cir
culation of the Transcript, and
equal to the circulation of all the
other papers combined in town
except the horse papere, that go
equally all over the United States,
and in which no local advertising
is done, except that of horses,
that have the world for a market
1 am opposed to seeing an exem-
plary citizen brow beaten by a
paper that confesses to having
sold it's columns to saloon man.
Mr.. Werts is now quite an old
gentleman and it is almost impos.
sible that he can ever again re-
cover his fortune. He has not a
relative in Kentucky. If he had
had a big son, who knew how to
handle a shotgun or a big stick
you never would have seen that
contemplate and malicious blast
of Mr.. Werts in the Transcript
Since 1 come to think abont il
/ am almost certain that Mr.
Werts is jew. The Jews are
the hest advertisers in this city.
They never "Jew" me when
they want me to advertise fol
them. If 1 were a Jew l would
see the Transcript and its editor
at the devil before I would put al
advertisement in that sheet.

of your "Blue Coat" and send
herewith, my check for three dol
lars, of which amount you will

my own subscription, and the

one to furnish this dollar are all

regret that you and Bro. NeaI
have "got together"
Neal can run the business enc

let him expunge all of your
rational views" but don't let hin
monkey with the shoulder-hittine

ington Lunatic Asylum should
burn up a woman with coal oil, it
would be Unjust for the Jessamine
Journal to brand him as
"brute."
Any man or body of men, who
might be caught selling the drug
that the Malays eat when they
wanted to "run a muck" and kill
Unfortunately, ought to be put
in the penitentiary. Any editor
of any paper representing any
kind of an organization that en-.
courages the sale of such a drug,
ought to be arrested, tried and put
in the penitentiary.
Whisky in its purest state is a
poison.
Besides its inherent poison, a
number of poisons are put in it
by those who make it.
Whisky makes a hundred men
"run a muck" and commit MUIR
der, where the Malay drug makes
one.
Nearly all the whisky of the
world is made in Kentucky. The
Democracy of Kentucky is an or
ganization to foster, protect and
encourage the manufacture and
sale of whisky. A newspaper that
supports Democracy is an organ
to encourage the liquor trade.
The liquor trade is an organiza-
ton hundred fold more murder.
Gus than the Malta of New Or
leans.
An editor who would edit @
paper in defence of, and to en-
courage, the Malta, the institution
of the Chinese opium dens, the
sale of the Malay drug. and Chi
cago anarchy, would be arrested
as an insurrectionist and put in
the penitentiary. The Jessamint
Journal in supporting an organi
zation for the encouragement o.
! the liquor trade, supports thai
/ whice is many fold worse than al
,, of the others combined.
1 do not see how any man car
escape the logical conclusion thar
the editor of the Jessamine Jour-
nal, or the editor of any othel
Democratic paper in Kentucky, il
a bad citizen who is engaged il
the encouragement of murders O
, the most "brutal" kind and / d,
not see how any Kentuckian cal
have the cheek to say that tn
: Chicago editor ought to have beer
hanged because he edited a pape
that resulted in the death of SOM
men, as long as every Democratic
! editor in Kentucky is encouraging
that which has resulted in tn
burning of this anoman.
1t is not only bad taste but by
pocricy, for the Jessamine Journa

The Transcript GlOats over the
Financial Failure Of Mr..
John III. Werts.

The Lexington Transcript, the
organ of Presbyterianism, Ca
tholicism, whisky and Democracy,
that lately admitted 1t took $780,
90 from a saloon-keeper to boost
him for Mayor of Lexington,
gloats over the financial failure of
Mr.. John H. Werts, not merely
in "local notice" of it, but in the
only editorial of any length that
appears in the issue of that date.
The alleged ground for this
jubilance over the misfortune of
Mr.. Werts, is that he did not ad-
vertise in the Transcript columns.
The Transcript in common with
thousands of other little one horse
sheets, filled with plate matter
and chair restorative" advertise
ments, while the editors own head
is as bald as a billiard ball, hopes
to terrify everybody into adver-
tisement in its columns, by threat
ening them with the fate of Mr..
Werts.
would think it an unwar-
ranted instance of personal jour
nalism" to allude to the Tran
script editors bald head, ifin an
article in his paper lately. in
which he was apparently trying
to incite some of his tough friends
to kill me, he had not called me
"woolly," in allusion to the fact
that 1 have a phenomenally heavy
suit of hair and beard, which l
have cut short late in the Fall. and
which may get unfashionably long
before it is warm enough to cut it
in the Spring, because l do not
consider it comfortable or safe for
my health to cut it in the winter.
Mr.. Werts is recognized by
every good citizen in Lexington
as one of the men of model morals
in it. He is one of the least Of
fesive men in Lexington.
l have heard, l think, that he is
Jew, but do not know.
The Transcript says that some
years ago Mr.. Werts lost $780,
10000 at one time. and $4,000. 90
at another time. Whether he
made $l3O,OO0.O0 by advertising
or withom it | do not know; but in
either event the Transcript is con-
demned by its own logic.
There are seven first-class cloth
ing stores in Lexington. All of
them, except Mr.. Werts have ad-
vertised with me, and all in the
most liberal manner, except the
Loevenharts. l have paid the
Loevenbarts a good deal of money
and they have paid me very little,
but we are the best of friends,
and l have a standing invitation
from each of them to visit them
at their homes and receive their
hospitality without ceremony.
The residences they have
lately built out on Maxwell street,
and the business house they &C.
cupy don't look much like they
are going to bust because they
have not advertised in the Blade.
Blue-grass blade. [volume] (Lexington, Ky.) 188?-19??, 1892-01-16

l believe in justice, and in put
ting the responsibility where it
belongs. l believe the editor of
the Jessamine Journal is more to
be blamed for the burning of Joe
Jones wife than 10 is.
Jones is probably a low born
and ignorant man. The editor of
the Jessamine Journal is a cult
waited gentleman.
The Democratic party is the
patron of whisky, and its leaders
are whisky drinkers and whisky
dealers.
The Jessamine journal is a
Democratic organ, and Jones gets
his whisky as a result of the in
fuence of such editors as that OF
the Jessamine journal.
If a saloon-keeper should sell
whisky that would not make a
man drunk, the Jessamene Jour
nal would say that salOon-keepei
was "getteing money under false
pretenses," and would want him
punished. Whisky is made to
make people drunk, and whisky
that will not make a man drunk
is fraud.
If man has right to drink
whisky it is infringing upon his
personal liberty" for the Jessa-
mine Journal, or anybody else, to
say hoU much he shall drink.
If | have a right to drink but
ter milk it's no business of the
Jessamine journal, to say how
much i shall drink.
Ifa drunken man burns up his
wife with a coal oil lamp it is
nothing but a natural consequence
of his being drunk, and being
drunk is but being insane. If an
insane man escaped from the Lex

loes of that kind.
They will wait until some girl
dances, and then turn her out.
