California Republicans Do Not Believe In
Prohibition and Say So.
The Republican party of California
have declared in no mistaken language
against Prohibition and have nominated
for governor on their ticket wealthy
winegrower-M. NJ. Estee. The four
teenth plank in their platform reads as
follows:
1--WE recognize in this state the large
and increasing product of the orchard
and the vine, which materially adds to
the general prosperity of our citizens,
while furnishing employment to vast
numbers of our people. We therefore
are in favor of encouraging this indus
try by wholesome legislation, which shall
be regulated by the various counties in
the state, in accordance with their inter
ests, having due regard for the equitable
distribution of public burdens, AND WE
EXPRESS OUR BELIEF THAT MEL
THEIR PROHIBITORY LAWS NOR
UNEQUAL EXACTIONS SHOULD
RESULT FROM EITHER STATE
COUNTY OR MUNICIPAL ENACT

POOR UNCLE SAM.
He Is Pretty Sick Man, but the Remedy
Is Plain.

He Is q Pretty Sick Man, but the Remedy
Is Plain.
Unclo Sam is i'll a bad shape. His
system is all out of order, and his body
is covered with eruptions Of the vllest
kind. There's an 'overproduction" OF
blood in his head, while his feet are
freezing. One doctor says that he should
be bled, while another insists that the
heart must stop beating for time, SO
the blood will have chance to visit
his legs.
What's the matter with Uncle Sam?
Oh, he's been drinking! He's been at
it now for 100 years, and i'll the last 20
he has become confirmed drunkard.
His great family is getting poorer
and poorer, while the saloon keepers
and brewers he has been supporting are
getting richer every day. His household
has been filled with anarchists, social
lists, dynamiters, vile foreigners, thugs
and bummers. And the worst of it is
that these villainous classes control his
entire household, while the quiet and
respectable portion of his family arc
compelled to remain quiet and furnish
food and clothing to these idlers.
Doctors? Bless your heart, yes-any
amount of them!
DIR. NJ Suasion has been working
with him for years, but it'sno use. He's
drinking more today than ever before.
DIR. Localoption insisted that the only
way to treat Uncle Sam was to plaster
up the boils on his system one by one,
but his method of treatment simply
drove the eruption from one spot only to
break out in another.
Then DR.. Non Partisan appeared on
the scene and said we must doctor leg
or an arm at time Cure one, aid
then we could go for the next, etc.
That was only DR.. Localoption's treat
ment on larger scale. No use, Uncle
Sam continued to get worse.
Later Dr. Hi Ii Sense, G. o. p, was
employed, and his advice was rather pc
culiar, if not amusing. He insisted that
the way to cure Uncle Sam was to make
the fellow who sold him the liquor pay
part of the money he received to Uncle
Sans family. Foolish? Well, we
should say so, but the wonder Of it is
that so many intelligent people were de-
luded by this preposterous and idiotio
advice.
Dr.. rohibition insisted that the only
logical course is to quit pouring more
whisky poison down Uncle Sans
throat, compel the idlers in his house.

against the foreign tramps and let the

Of all the voters of the city are foreign
born and in the slum districts 44.04 per
cent.
The variation in Chicago is not so
great, the foreign born voters of the city
being 80. G2 per cent and in the slum dis
tricts G1.31 per cent.
Of the voters in New York city 49.93
per cent are foreign born, while in the
slum district 62.44 per cent are foreign
ers.
In Philadelphia the differences are
greater, 29.52 per cent of the total voters
being foreign born, while 1894 per cent
of the voters in the slum district belong
to that class.
Occupations.
The occupations of the residents of the
slum districts in the four cities named
are as varied as their nationalities, but
direct comparison with the occupations
of the whole city in each case cannot be
made, as the classification of occupations
as shown by the eleventh census is not
yet ready for use.
Earnings.
The earnings of the people living in
the slum districts canvassed are quite up
to the average earnings of the people
generally, but as there are no data with
which to make comparisons of average
earnings the results of this investiga-
tion must practically stand alone.
The statistics drawn from the sched-
ule replies show no greater sickness pre-
vailing in the slum districts canvassed
than in any other parts of the cities in
volved, and while the most wretched
conditions were found here and there
the small number of sick people discov-
cred was a surprise to the canvassers.
1t may be that owing to the time of
year, "late spring." the people were liv-
ing with open windows, and thus not
subjected to the foul air which might be
found in winter. A supplementary in
vestigation, however, made in winter
disclosed substantially the same condi-
tions.
Persons to Each Dwelling.
According to the eleventh census, the
number of persons to dwelling in Bal
timore was G.2; in Chicago, $50; in New
York, 1S. 50; in Philadelphia ,7.60. The av-
erages for the slum districts are about the
same for Baltimore and Philadelphia,
there being in the former city III per-
sons to dwelling and in Philadelphia
7.54 persons But in Chicago the slum
population averages 31.51 per cent to
each dwelling and in New York 36.79
per cent,

Rams Horn Notes.

We laugh at boy who will tug
sled for an hour to reach a summit
from which he will slide down in
minute, but he is a philosopher to the
man who does hard work for six days
that he may on Saturday night turn
his coined sweat into the till of sa-
loon.
The greatest duty every father owes
to his children is to walk where it will
be safe for them to follow.
There are some men who would rath-
er hear themselves preach than to listen
to an angel tuning his harp.
Talk of improving the liquor traffic!
You might as well undertake to paint
the devil white!

powers in the position of practical arbi-
ters of the destinies of the nation. We
renew our protests against these peril
Gus tendencies, and invite all citizens to
join us in the upbuilding of a party
that has shown, in five national cam
paigns, that it prefers temporary de-
feat to au abandonment of the claims
of justice, sobriety, personal rights and
the protection of American homes.
Q5) Recognizing aud declaring that
Prohibition of the liquor traffic has be-
come the dominant issue in national
politics, we invite to full party fellow
ship all those who, on this one domi-
nant issue, are with us agreed, in the
full belief that this party can and will
remove sectional differences, promote
national unity, and insure the best well
fare of our entire land.

James f. Daley of the Philadelphia Ledger
Reveals Some Interesting Facts.

James f. Daley of the Philadelphia Ledger
Reveals Some Interesting Facts.
A lamentable condition of affairs in
Philadelphia has lately been disclosed by
a member of The Ledger force, James
F. Daley, who has been engaged for six
months examining the patronage of the
liquor business in the City of Brotherly
Love. He has discovered that of the
&C, 900 signers for saloon licenses a very
large number are members and officers
of various churches; also of different
branches of governments and of courts.
Mr.. Daley names certain prominent
churches whose officers-Sunday school
superintendents and teachers, trustees
and vestrymen-have their names affixed
to saloon license applications; also police
magistrates, city councilmen, state sena-
tors, etc.
Although this is probably no isolated
condition, it is seldom that we have seen
such clear and startling revelation of
iniquity, even in the liquor traffic. Many
of these Christian @ men doubtless re-
gard with horror liquor drinking and
drunkenness, but if we were to compare
the two sins-deliberate signing of sa-
loon application and impulsive drinking
of the saloon productive would pro-
nounce the former the greater. Do not
the churches named by Mr.. Daley by
their very silence sanction this libel on
Christianity? We await with interest
the anticipated action of these religious
bodies and will inform our readers of
the final outcome of the charges.

The following adopted by the last
State Prohibition Convention is COM
mended to Prohibitionists throughout
he State at this time:
Resolved, That each County in this
State should be thoroughly organized
at once and to this end it is urged that
the Prohibitionists of their respective
counties. should meet and elect a
County Executive Committee, consist
Ing of Chairman and Secretary and
one member for each election precinct
or Supervisors district, and report the
result of their conventions to the
Chairman of the State Executive Com
mittee.
2nd, That the members of the State
Executive Committee be diligent in
this matter. 1t is also the sense of
this Convention that the membership
of the party in this State should be
Systematically enrolled in each county
and the Coanty Executive Committees
are urged to see to this.

Their Greatest Enemy.

The New York Observer says: "Gath-
er up all the money that the working
classes have spent for rum during the
last thirty years and | will build for
every man house and lay out for him
garden, and secure for him a policy
of life insurance so that the present
home may be well maintained after he
is dead. The most persistent and most
overpowering enemy of the working
classes is Intoxicating liquor"
