One of the strongest arguments used
in favor of national Prohibition by those
who advocate that policy is that by
issuing license for the manufacture and
sale of liquor the government becomes a
party to the business, which it has no
right to do, morally or otherwise. If
this charge is sustained by verify, what
must be said of the. policy adopted by
the city of Sioux Falls, S. D., wherein
the city is to do the saloon business for
the whole community, establishing and
maintaining saloon in each ward. This
beats the government partnership theory
by all odds; it gives the city monopoly
of the business. Fort Scott might get a
pointer from this new departure.

The truth about modern polite So
ciety is that it exerts no moral force
whatever and, indeed, seems to have
no conscience, and it acknowledges
no serious obligations to the world.
1t exists for pleasure and display.
1t exerts no good influence, it in
spires no one to lofty aims. 1t is
not wholesome. Here in Newly ork,
where we are still very young and
where polite society is still as dis
tinetively moral as it is dull-in
spite of the sporadic outbursts of a
few scions of ancient families, whose
cubbishness is not excelled by the
gilded youth of Britain, but who are
greatly restrained by their environ
ment-the respect for good conduct,
the gentleness and simplicity that
distinguishes the smaller and plain
er society" of a half century ago
have vanished and left nothing to
boast of in their places.

Audrain's Court House.

Mexico and Audrain County are
both experiencing most prosper
GUS growth, better buildings being
erected all over the county than ever
heretofore. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the Court House and the
Court House yard need some i'm
portant improvements. The wooden
shed in the northwest corner of the
yard should be torn down and a
basement excavated under por-
ton of the Court House to be used
as a fuel room, and a furnace should
be put in to heat the building.
Granitoid walks should be put
down and water pipes should be
put in the Court House yard and in
the Court House. Toilet rooms
should also be put in under the
stair ways in the south part Of the
building.

Not q Revolution.
70 the Editor of the Ledger.

Io the Eu1pOr OF the Ledger.
Mexico, Mo, Nov. live have
no sympathy with those who regard
the late national Democratic victory
as a revolution. 1t was not revo-
luton in any sense of the word, but
the best of proofs of a returning
sense Of duty and loyalty to our con-
stitution, government and society.
Neither is it the destruction of the
patriotism that formerly underlied
the formation of the Federal, Wing
and Republican Hparties which, with
the exception of the abolitionism of
the latter, were similar if not identi-
cal. 1t was early foreseen after the
adoption of the constitution that the
natural division of parties in this
country on account of the relation
of the states to the general govern
ment would be that of tendency to
centralism and absorption of politi-
cal power on the one side and re-
sistance on the other, and that these
forces, when carried to extremes,
would be the Scylla and Charybdis
of our politics and lead to revolution
if unchecked. The histories of both
the Republican and Democratic par
ties have abundantly established the
wisdom of this foresight. Resistance
to abolitionism and centralism,
though sectional, we'll nigh accom-
plished the destruction of our ma
tionalism, ,and Republican centralism
had reached point where, on ac-
count of its assumption of unconsti-
tutional power,its selfishness, its par
tisanship, its use of money in cor
rupting the ballot box and its avow-
ed intention of assuming the over
sight and control of elections that
made il continual menace to polit-
ical freedom. Our fathers taught
that the highest duty of citizenship
was to watch both parties and check
the one whose tendency and pro-
gress was to override constitutional
liberty. In the opinion of the writer
the election of Cleveland is due to a
realization of the menacing attitude
to industrial and political interests
reached by the Republican party
leaders. This is attested by the
noble stand taken by SO many
observing and intelligent Repub-
licans for which the country ought
to be highly grateful.

Maj Mckinley has prided himself
as being the Napoleon of the Repub-
lican party. Against the traditions
and warnings of the statesmen of
his party he has dragooned it to the
most ultra position of taxation by
protection for projections sake.
Like his imperious prototype of
France he forced his party to stake
its all on a line of battle that
left no chance for any other tactics
than blind assault upon a deter
mined foe in well-chosen position.
November s, 1892, was the Water
loo for Mckinley and McKinleyism.
Just as the "sunken road," in the
vivid words of Victor Hugo, brought
disaster and humiliation to Napo-
leon, so the hosts of the Republican
party, binding themselves to the
desperate ambition of their Napo-
leon-faced dictator fell in the sunken
road of the new ballot system.
Nothing could save Mckinley from
the ditch digged for him, soberly,
silently and remorselessly, by the
people who pay the taxes and who
believe that revenue is tax, and a
tax for anything but the honest ex-
pense of government is an unwar-
ranted hardship.
In that ditch Mckinley will prob
ably be left by the party he has
brought to such disastrous defeat.
If the party is to survive it will
have to choose new leaders and
better faith. McKinleyism is dead.

Forty Drinks of Whisky a Day.
From the Kansas City Times.


A graduate" of the Kelley In
stitute at Excelsior Springs informed
the writer last week that he had TAX
en- an average of forty drinks day for
years and had been drinking alto
gether for more than twenty years.
He went to Excelsior Springs
without much, if any, faith in the
Kelley cure. After three days
treatment he lost all desire for
whisky. He attributed this as
much to the mineral waters as to
the Kelley treatment at first, but
when weeks, then months, passed
without any desire whatever for
drink or stimulants of any kind, he
concluded that there "must be some
thing in it'' and he is now dividing
his time between talking "Keeley-
ism" here and visiting Excelsior
Springs, which he thinks is the
grandest place on earth.
