GREENSBORO, GA. April II, 1891.
DEAR BROTHER IiOBBS:-I have just
read your reply to the New Orleans
Christian Advocate in last weeks
LEADER 1t is complete in spirit and
logic. DR.. Blacks editorial, which you
published. and which you reviewed,
both surprises and disappoints me. 1t
was meant, manifestly, as defense OF
that large number of church men who
support by influence and vote whisky
parties. DR.. Black is no coward, as
we'll know, hence his position illus
trates how the love OF political parties
is binding to all reason and holding in
abject bondage men in high places
The thing DR.. Black charges against
the Prohibition party and the covert
appeal he makes in behalf Of the Dem
ocratic party, isn't true, as you clearly
show, and nothing but the blindest po-
litical party idolatry would lead SO
good man into so grievous and hurt
full blunder.
1t seems to me there needs to be
prayer for the deliverance of many
preachers from the sin of party idola-
try. j. H. GAMBRELL'

WORDS OF A CATHOLIC.
Father Cleary Gives Good Advice to Work
ing People.


ing People.
The rights and proper privileges of the
honest workingman aUe in danger more
from the intrigues of the liquor seller
than from the encroachments of capital.
1t is we'll recognized fact that the
widespread evil of patronizing the sa-
loon has much to do with delaying the
settlement of the labor difficulties, as
also of multiplying their number.
If the giant curse of drink were re-
moved, the way would be easy and
plain to solution of the labor problem.
1t is not surprising, therefore, that the
leader Of the laboring men, Mr.. Powder
ly, declares he would prefer following
of 100000 total abstalners to 1,000,0
moderate drinkers. The laboring man
will never secure the rights and privi-
leges due to honest labor SO long as the
saloon receives large share of his earn
ings.-Father Cleary.

superior court in Hartford and pronounc-
ing sentence upon criminal whose excuse
was that he had been drinking, delivered
the significant utterance that when drink
ing leads man to commit crime 1T is Sc

The saloon question is up for settlement,
and until it is settled, and settled right,
there will be, can be, no peace for this ma
ton. Other issues may be for time
pushed to the front and seemingly over
shadow the liquor question, but they shall
be brushed aside until thie great nation has
seriously set itself to work and shall have
solved this great question.
There Is no excuse to be made for the
man who knows prohibition is right, and
then continues to shut his eyes to the fact
that the party with which he votes is sup
porting license system. His action out
weighs all his talking and praying, and the
blood of the innocent women and children
that are destroyed every day will be re-
quired at his hands. The light is before
him. If he refuses to see, he is the loser.
When Republican or Democrat COM
plains of the Prohibition party because it
has never done anything, he is simply COM

result of his own course and lays the blame

thing. When party can't shoot and won't
give up the gun, it ought not to kick be-

Railway Presidents Determined
10 Prevent Rate Cutting.
Freight Agents Who Slash After April
2 Likely to Lose Their Official
Heads at Once.

Thomas Noonan, general manager Of the
Central States Dispatch, who last week was
in the East, says he found a decided de-
termination among the higher railway Off
Gals 10 restore east-bound rates on April
and TO punish any representative of the
respective lines who cuts or in any manner
evades the tariff rates. The presidents, he
says, have the key to the situation, and no
subordinate official has any discretionary
power, neither has any other person but the
presidents of the roads which are in the
agreement. The understanding Is that any
freight man who manipulateS rates may eX-
pect dismissal at once. What surprised him
was that any freight man should encourage
any move looking TO continuing the present
state of affairs, as in the end the employee
IS the sufferer. When there is no money in
hauling the business the employe must Suf-
fer, as the next step is retrenchment, which
means lower salaries and wages or dis
miSsal of men, and unless there Is more
money in hauling freightS than there has
been for some time past, without question
the cry of retrenchment will again be sent
out by the higher officials. In his years Of
connection with railway traffic he said he
had never seen the feeling so pronounced in
favor OF a restoration and maintenance of
rates, and he was satisfied If representa-
tives of the freight departments of the
various roads wished to hold their present
positions it would be wisdom for them to
learn the tariff rates thoroughly and not
deViate from them
