STRONG WORDS.
tsood Templars Adopt Some
Emphatic Resolutions.

The following resolutions were
adopted by District No. 5, |. o. G.
I. of Nebraska few weeks ago
We wage ceaseless war upon the com.
mon enemy OF God and man, the liquor
traffic.
The conditions which confront US are
appalling. Despite the labors of all the
multiplied agencies OF reform the drink
habit is on the Increase and thousands &C
over its Niagara every year Defore they car
be reached by the life boats OF temperance
workers. The sky OF Amer;cl'a progress
is darkened by rapidly spreading cloud
Of intemperauce which portends II storm
out of which no power less than Divine
can bring US in safety.
We build schools to educate our chill.
dren and churches where they may learl
the way to heaven, ana for every one ol
these beneficent institutions We establish
two saloons, whose sole miSsion,is to pan
der to vice, destroy virtue, ruin the
body and damn the soul.
Were these places OF death forced upon
US 'twere bad enough, but to the shame
of civilization we legaiize them by our
laws and place them under the protection
of our flag. Moral suasion alone is pow
erless to check the ravages of rum.
These 240, 900 gaping hells can send
more souls to ruin than all the combined
forces of earth AMI heaven can save b.
moral suasion alone
We see on every hand the evidences Of
q shameless alliance with this arch foe o!
all good, an uuholy compact which stains
the hands of Christian men with the
blood of countless victims of the dram
shop; mockery OF justice and a libel upon
Christianity; a covenant with death
and an agreement with hell which leads
the profe,sed follower of Christ to cast
ballot which opens the dram shop, even
while he prays that God may close its
doors and save its victims from eternal
ruin.
We see the iron bars of prejudice acros:
the doors of the church whose motto is
charity, forbiddin9 entrance to those who
plead humanity's cause within the temple
of God, while towering steeples and
pleading bells send forth Il vain Invitation
because professed Christian men have
barred the gates of heaven and flung
wide open the gates of hell. We make
this indictment in sorrow, conscious oi
all that it means.
The open and voluntary union of church
members and saloonists at the ballot box
for the protection of the sllooa keepers
business is the most glaring Inconsistency
. of the age.
ballot which legalizes a drunkard
factory is a crime against every sacred
institution, human or divine, and prosti-
tutes the citizenship of him who casts it
to the level of the saloon and the brothel
which it legalizes.
Against this inhuman system the Good
Templars lodge stands as living protest
and vitalized agency of revolution.
We here renew our pledge which binds
us to pure citizenship and declare our
conviction that no Good Templar can
keep inviolate his obligation and cast a
ballot for any individual or party who
by open alliance or the more cowardly
consent OF silence perpetuates the liquor
crime on the helpless womanhood and
childhood Of the land.

he helps to build up the potent

GENERAL BIDWELL.
The National Organ of the K.
of l.. Speaks.

From The Journal Of the knights Of Labor,
Sept. 23J
Some time ago the New York
"World" published what purported
to be an interview with General
Bidwell, the candidate of the Pro.
hibition Party for the Presidency.
In the interview the General was
made to say that the labor diff
Guilty at Homestead was due tc
whiskey; that the Carnegie en-
ployes spent so much of theiI
wages for liquor that they were
unable to support their families,
and that they then struck fol
higher wages. We were minded
at the time to comment upon this
statement, so preposterously fool.
ish and unjust. Unwilling, how.
ever, to do General Bldwell an
injustice, we thought it well to
make certain whether he had been
correctly reported. Accordingly,
we wrote him, and now have his
reply, in which he states that he
never made the statement attrib.
uted to him, and, also, that he
does not believe the statement.
We are glad the Prohibition stan
dard- bearer is not the narrow, i'll.
informed man the Worlds" in.
teryiew" made him appear, but
we fear the pretended statement
will travel much faster and further
than any contradiction of it.
Those who have read General Bid.
wells letter of acceptance will be
quite ready to believe that he does
not hold the views attributed to
him by the World" 1t does not
need that the reader shall be a Pro
hibitionist for him to be able to
recognize in the writer of that let
ter a statesman of no mean order.

A Liquor Papers Boast.

Do you deny that the liquor vote
controls the situation of this State?
What defeated Warner Miller and
elected Governor Hill? What
gave the Democratic party its
present majority in the Assembly?
What elected the Tammany
ticket in this city last year?
Was it not the united strength of
the liquor vote? : Regard
for self-preservation and self-pro-
lection has consolidated the liquor
dealers, and forced them into an
attitude in which they have be-
come power in politics. New

THE PRoDIoAL DAUGHTER.

To the home of tho fnther returning,
The Prodigal weary and worn,
Is greeted with jov and thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn;
A robe" AMI ring" is his portion,
The servants as suppliants bow.
He is clad In fine linen and purple
In roturn for his penitent vow.
But ah! for the Prodignl Daughter.
Who has wandered away from home
Her feet must still press tho da k valley,
And through the wide wilderness roam.
Alone. on the bleak, barren mountains.
Tho mountains so drcary AMI cold
No hand is outst etched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mere.
still follows the sheep though they stray
The weakest and e'cn tho forsaken,
lie btnrs in his bosom away:
Ami In the bright mansions of glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the PrOdiEh Daughter
A. well as the PFodigal Son.

JACKSON MISSISSIPPI THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 3. 1892

Isaac T. Gibson, Chairman o4
the Iowa State Prohibition Com
mittee, writes:
Iowa is organized, and fairly
well, too. We have Rev. w. A.
Campbell travelling all the time
organizing the Counties that are
unorganized. The State Central
Committee are pushing the million
voters agreement and will get
many new converts. From all
indications it will be the largest
vote ever given in the State. The
State Temperance Alliance, here
tofore Republican annex, has
left the Ct. O. p. for the reason
that the Ct. 0. p. has gone back
on all their past utterances and
this year refuses to carry the So
called Prohibition plank. The AL
liance has been fighting from the
shoulder ever since the State Con
vention and will almost vote
solid for our party. The National
speakers we have had are 2. A.
Burdick, Mrs. Helen NJ. Cougar
and Hon. John w. Custer. We
have just made arrangements for
j. +. Hanson, a speaker of Mt. Yer
non, s. d., and Clara Hoffman, of
Kansas City, and Rev. VIM. Hub
bard, of Ohio. Our candidate for
Congress in the Seventh District,
Rev. D. w. Haggard, of De Soto,
is out speaking, and will be till
election. We are getting out
our Home Guards. The Sew
enth District will hold sixty
five meetings between now
and election. Other districts
will soon be in line. Every dis
trict will have candidate for Con-
gress for the first time in our his
tory"
Francis E. Baldwin, Chairman
of the New York Prohibition State
Committee, writes:
"Our State is organized, each
County being organized and nearly
all the towns in each County. How
ever, the organization in many
respects is very imperfect, and |
am giving more attention this year
to perfecting organization down to
the precinct workers more than to
anything else. We are running
speaking campaign, also distribut-
ing leaflets by the hundreds of
thousands and circulating Prohibi-
ton newspapers in large numbers.
For the first time in my experience
| think we are in shape to distrib-
ute leaflets to good advantage.
The indications are very bright for
largely increased vote in this
State. This is indicated not only by
people announcing themselves as
Prohibitionists, which they are
doing, but also because of thor
oughly disgust the people are
showing for the two big parties
and because our party is better or
ganized and doing more practical
and efficient work than it ever has
in the past"

The Issues Between the Old Parties

Upon my honor, l could not
name a question of any moment
dividing the Democrats from the
Republicans. Perhaps some OF
you may say the tariff bill. =
Believe me, there is no issue OF
parties in America on the tariff,
except as to details, and any
change that is made viii not dis
turb the manufactures which they
have seen fit to establish. Andrew

Gullible Prohibitionists.

Republicans in the New York
Legislature are fooling with the
Prohibition Amendment very
much as their brethren in this
State did. They pose as its advo-
Gates in the Legislature, but they
viii see to it that it is killed if il
should ever come to a populai !
vote. But nobody is fooled by
such tactics, not even Prohibition
lists, gullible as they have been OF
occasions. Editorial in Philadel

be done. = John M. Atherton,

Readiness to Serve Liquor Interests.

There is one thing about the drift
of legislation there (Albany)
which is emphatic. The liquor
dealers, who have been fooled into
spending their money continually
for the Democratic party, have
found that they cannot pass meas
ures that they desire through a
Democratic House. They have
had some of their favorite bills
passed in the Senate, which is Re-
publican, but not onein the House.
They may get their eyes open to
the fact that the Democratic party
has been bleeding them all these
years without any real intention of
befriending them by legislation if
they come into power. Sloat

National Committee, and Candi-

the large increase. Philadelphia

Let us hope that the people who
habitually disregard their health
will reach that desirable place, and
avoid the locality which is less de
sirable as an eternal residence ON
account of the heat and surround
ings generally. But while we tarry
in this vale of tears, why should we
voluntarily endure the tortures of

Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will rid
us of the astrocious malady which
unless physicians are very much at

our existence. Heartburn, bilious
ness, constipation almost always ac.
company this complaint and are
symptomatic of it. These are all ex-
tinguished by the Bitters, which also
conquers completely malaria, rheu.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.
A Brief Resume Of the Candidates
Nominated.

The county ticket nominated in
Hawthorne last week is a good one.
Most of the candidates on the ticket
have been tried and found capable.
A. d. Dyer, candidate for Sheriff,
is farmer and resides in Fish Lake
Valley. He has been resident of
this county for many years, but has
never asked for an Office before.
Those who know him best are his
staunchest adherents He is in every
way qualified for the Office to which
he aspires, and if elected will make
most efficient and vigilant Sheriff.
For Recorder and Auditor John G..
Atchison asks for reelection. He
has served the people Of this county
for nearly two years and his best
recommendation for reelection is the
condition of his books. Always
ready and willing to attend to the
interests of those who have business
in his Office, and the faultless condi-
ton of his records and accounts,
makes Johnny Atchison an invalu-
able man to the county. He is en-
titled to reelection.
What we have said of Mr.. Atchi-
son applies with equal relevancy to
Robert H. Wright He has been
County Treasurer for two years and
the money in the vault has always
Tailed to cent with the Auditors
balances. While our neighboring
counties are bewailing absconding
Treasurers, and their bondsmen are
obliged to "pungle," Mr.. Wrights
present bondsmen are eager to go on
his bond for the coming term He
takes as naturally to finances as a
duck does to water. He is good
man for the place, and if good SER
vice entities person to reelection
he should have it,
Perhaps the most important office
in the county is that of District At
torney. P. NJ. Bowler has filled that
office for the past two years to the
credit and honor of himself and his
constituents. No money has been
paid to outside attorneys for services
by the county. In Mr.. Bowler the
Commissioners have a competent ad-
visor, and legal mind able to steer
them safely through their sometimes
complex proceedings. He ranks
among the first lawyers of the State
and will no doubt be reelected.
Next week we will speak of the re-
mainder of the Messrs. King
and Conway for Commissioners, and
Roach and Mccarthy for the Assem-
bly,, and James Casey andJ H. Beam
for Surveyor and Administrator.
