OUGHT TO BE KILLED.

The Sad Story Of . Drunkard Who Acted

One of the saddest cases of self
slaughter ever recorded took place in
one of the large western cities-a city
whose phenomenal growth has at
tracted the attention of the world-the
victim being a young lawyer of great
ability and promise. He had held an
important office connected with his
profession and was q favorite among
his fellows and the public generally.
Il was with him only q case of waiting
for honors, which would not be very
long delayed in coming to him Pri-
vately he was rich. though he worked
like Trojan at his business.
The demon of drink seized ON this
favored young man, and several times

from this spree his chagrin and condi-
ton Of mind were terrible. He openly
declared that q drunkard had no right
to live and seemed to apply the declarar
ton to himself

Time went on and he was sober and

1 am pretty certain I will not if
somebody does not write me
something about it.
George w. Balm is more pleas
ant character for contemplation.
I have seen in some Prohibition
paper the picture of a banner
with "John P, st. John" and
"George w. Balm" On it, as its
favorites for President and Vice
President.
My favorite for Vice President
is George w. Balm first, and John
A. Brooks second.
Balm is a fine speaker and at
tractive to every body.
l hope the Kentucky delegation
will instruct for him at St. Louis,
and that he will accept.

Barring some little inaccuracy
in the syntactical get up of that
letter, that would not be worthy
of reference in the production oi
a man in a less cultured calling,
that is a very admirable letter,
that grants to me more than ]
merit, and increases my regard
for the Reverend gentleman which
has been high, from the begin
ming of my short acquaintance
with him.
The occasion of my adverse
criticism of him was my belief
that he was opposed to Prohibi-
ton; this belief being based upon
the fact that he declined to sign
what is known as the "million
vote agreement" said agreement
being almost universally signed
by Prohibitionists.
Judge Stevenson of Georgetown,
himself a. Prohibitionist, had just
told me Of three ministers in
Georgetown who had declined to
sign the agreement, though there
were quite a number of Democrats
who were signing it.
The Judge had just mentioned
Rev. Cody as one of the ministers
who would not sign it. l knew
that President Dudley of George
town College was a minister in
Rev. Cody's church, and knew
that Rev. Dudley was opposed to
Prohibition. I had noticed that
Rev. Cody had not attended any
Prohibition meeting, or speaking
here, even when Prof. Rucker,

(For the Blue Grass Blade.)
In a recent issue of the Blade,
the editor closed an article, that
was devoted to preachers in gen.
eral, with the announcement that
I had been weighed in the bal
ence and found wanting"
Such a public reference to my
self gives me an opportunity to
say some things that have for
some time, been impressed upon
my mind.
1t is far from my intention to
enter into a controuercy with the
editor, or even to undertake to
answer the article referred to; but
to call attentionrto some convic-
tions of the writer that l think,
lay back of that article, and of
many others like it.
Mr.. Moore seems to have a
special fight against the preachers
Whether / as an individual, have
been "found wanting" is a matter
of small interest to the public.
But when ministers, as a class,
are thus attacked, it is of moment
to I'll.
e ought, by those who read his
nstncbs 6pon the minisfery;:to be
borne in mind that Mr.. Moore
himself was at one time a minis
ter of Jesus Christ, and that after
. very radical change in his con-
victions he resigned his position
altogether. He could not have
meant anything by that act other
than that the very calling itself
was q false one-false to such a
degree that he could not remain
in it, as viewed by any denomi-
nation; for he did not quit one
branch of the church and unite
with another, as some do, but
withdrew from the calling itself.
And it would hardly be suggested
that the change was made from a
sense that some other profession
was more in accord with his taste.
1t was a change from convictions,
and henceNit is not to be2explained
except on the ground that he felt
there was something in the nature
of the calling that made it incom-
patible with his conscience to re-

His speech was such that 1 was

those were from my vest pocket.
Two weeks ago there was a
Demorest Silver Medal contest to
take place at the Presbyterian
church between eight Fort Worth
children. The selections were
from the best writers on Prohibi-
ton of the liquor traffic. When
the time arrived for the speaking
to begin. Q lady announced that
leaking would bes p1 I'D

I counted again and there were
Just eighteen persons present. The
contest came off on the evening OF
the 4th inst, with an audience of
over q hundred.
