publican Party Has Annulled the Pro-
hibitory LAVA Realistic Picture of the
Deadly Work of the Saloon.
BY HELEN NJ. COUGAR.
That the people may know how the
saloon curse is to again eat away the
peace and prosperity of the great state of
Iowa, owing to the rum subserviency of
the last Republican legislature of that
state, give the following realistic pic
ture:
Waterloo is one of the most prosperous
county seats in Iowa. Before the pro-
hibitory law was adopted the city was
greatly afflicted with drunkenness. Aft
er the law was well executed drunken
man became an object of curiosity and
alarm. So few were there that the city
calaboose was no longer needed as such,
and it was rented to German woman
for house in which to smoke meat.
Men who had been drunken and neglect
full of their families became sober and

recruiting the great diseased army of
drunkards to any extent.
But behold the change since this pro-
hibitory law has been annulled. At once
men sought the requisite number of sig
natures to q petition, and one secured
them. He sought place sufficient
number of feet from a schoolhouse or
church to satisfy the law. He could only
secure deserted cottage on the river
bank. The barrels of poisoned grog were
rolled in. Opening day followed. From
early morning until o'clock in the aft
ernoon, an eyewitness tells me that the
street was black with men and boys
staggering drunk as the result Of this
days work.
AS means of self preservation against
its own deadly work the place closed it's
doors at the early hour of o'clock that
first day. The proprietor stated that he
took over his counter that single day
$460-just this amount of money robbed
from the savings or necessities of the
men and families of Waterloo.
My informant stated "that it was the
poorest class of men who spent their
money in this days debauch." The cal
aboose will again have it's occupants.
The police courts will be fning men $50
much and costs" and the drunkard's
wife and children will be hungry, desti-
tute, beaten and abused, the Jail will fill
up, the population of prison and asylum
for insane multiply, taxes upon property
will increase, and Iowa will pay the
penalty she richly deserves for her polit-
ical depravity in the last election. Who
is to blame? Every man who voted other
than the Prohibition ticket last fall in
Iowa.

AN AWFUL RESPONSIBILITY.
Placed on the Christian Voters ofThis Land
by Well Known Writer.

To THE EDIToR-The 8, 1000, 900 of Chris
tian votes in the United States and the
corresponding number in Great Britain,
with re-enforcements of pen and prayer,
could, if united, overthrow the follow
ing evils straightway:
First-The liquor traffic in Africa and among
other savages.
second-The liquor traffic in Anglo-saxon
lands.
Third-The opium curse, promoted by Great
Britain.
Fourth-The slave trade in Africa and the
Kanaka slavery of the South seas, permitted
by Great Britain and Australia.
Fifth-The tolerated lust traffic of the Brit
ish army and of British and American cities
Sixth-The sometimes legalized, generally
tolerated, race track gambling of England and
the United States.
Seventh-The Louisiana lottery In its new
Florida den, against which Senator Hoar has
introduced bill that lags for lack of petitions
and letters IN its behalf.
Eighth-The shameful divorce law of Okla
homa, where secret divorces are offered on
three months residence, to attract divorce
colony, a law which congress could and should
abrograte.
Ninth-The unspeakable law of Delaware
making the age of consent seven years, and
the laws of other states which fix the age be-
low IS.
Tenth-The law-defying Sunday papers, which
could not live II the church unitedly resisted
and resented their defiance of divine and hu-
man and humane laws.
| Eleventh-The Sunday trains, in stopping
which the Sunday papers and Sunday mails
would also be stopped.
Twelfth-The Sunday saloon, which in most
of our cities defy the laws by the consent Of
officers elected by Christian votes.
Thirfeenth-The foul tleatar pOeters which
could be swept from the billboards, where
they corrupt the youth, by enforcing the purity
law on the one bill poster of each city.
Fourteenth-The daily sewers, called newspa-
pers that pour filth into every home, planting
every evil seed which the churches are seeking
to weed out, while Christians, individually and
as churches, neglect to establish newspapers
that will help and not hinder their work.
Fifteenth-The city rings, consisting of cor
rupt politicians, gamblers, harlots and liquor
sellers who control nearly all our cities only be-
cause the churches do not unite against them
the forces of righteousness.
The Christian vote, largest of all the
blocks of votes in number, is least of all
in influence because the churches fail to
appreciate their divine call to unite and
save society. Christian alliances, local,
state and national, not merely to sing
'Blest be the tie that binds" but to
break the bands of evil, are the need of
the hour.

Neither may we gain by hurting our
neighbor in his body. Therefore we may
not sell anything which tends to impair
health. Such is eminently all that liquid

may have place in medicine. They
may be of use in some bodily disorders,
although there would rarely be occasion
for them were it not for the unskillful-

as prepare and sell them only for this
end may keep their conscience clear
But who are they? Who prepare them
only for this end? Do you know 10 such
distillers (or brewers) in England? Then
excuse these. But all who sell them in

They murder his majesty's subjects
by wholesale. Neither does their eye
pity or spare. They drive them to hell
like sheep. And what is their gain? Is
it not the blood of these men? Who,
then, would envy their large estates and
sumptuous palaces? A curse is i'll the
midst of them. The curse of God cleaves
to the stones, the timber, the furniture
of them! The curse of God is in their
gardens, their walks, their groves. A
fire that burns to the nethermost hell!
Blood, blood is there! The foundation,
the floor, the walls, the roof, are stained
with bloodl And canst thou hope, o

clothed in scarlet and fine linen and
farest sumptuously every day''-canst
thou hope to deliver down thy fields of

and soul, "thy memorial shall perish

HOW TO SUPPRESS THE OPIUM HABIT.

The opium habit, which has long been one
of the hidden sores OF our civilization, now
threatens TO break out In all Of the purulence
Of an open vice. The assertion Is made that
there are 5000 people in Chicago who are Ad-
dicted to this folly, and that majority Of the
number are women. The thing is, moreover,
increasing in virulence and Is rapidly spread
ing its tenacious roots into all classes Of socie
ty. An organized effort against 1t similar to
the temperance crusade has been suggested,
but has not thus far resulted In practical
demonstration. II the vice is not eradicated
soon, It will before long be too powerful to be
coped with at all.-Chicago News.
Well, well, and is it possible that Chi
cago has not found out the only "prac-
tical" method of preventing this disgust
ing and injurious opium habit?
Almost any Democrat or Republican
newspaper in the country can solve the
problem in two words. Many religious
newspapers could do it, and thousands
Of preachers.
But perhaps The News is not "prac-
tical" newspaper, and for the benefit Of
suffering Chicago we will here whisper
the magic words into the lister ing ear of
The News man. You ask how to pre-
vent the opium habit?
Legalize it!
Yes, sir, the way to prevent the spread
ing of the evil is to legalize it. You see,
this would bring the business within the
bounds of law and make it respectable.
Of course you would have to charge
license fee of at least 5000, and this
money would pay part of the expense of
police officers and enable you to build
fine insane asylums.
Then let none keep opium joints unless
IL good, respectable citizens" certify to
their "good character" This would be
the means of placing the retail opium
business in respectable hands.
And if any "impracticable cranks' in
the neighborhood object to the legaliza-
ton of the business let every ward in
the city vote ON the question independ-
emily. In this way you might possibly
keep the business out of a few wards.
That's local option, you see.
The bad Democratic party will per.
haps favor $50 license law, while the
Republican party will declare for $500
fee in order to elevate the business. Of
two evils chose the least-the $500 party.
There may be third party in the field
with a platform that opposes the legali-
zation of opium joints, but since "they
cop,t oIaot +boir mon" LOT ministers and
deacons vote for the high license party.
The News will, we know, print this
startling discovery in big type, double
loaded. Remember the principle;
The way to suppress an evil is to le-
galize it.

firms Its AntisaloOn Declarations.
SARATOGA, June 6. - The Presby-
terian general assembly, in session
here, reaffirmed the advanced ground
which it has taken against license and
license parties. Resolutions were adopt
ed rejoicing that temperance studies are
introduced into the schools; urging the
passage of compulsory temperance edu-
cation in all the public schools Of Indi-
ana, Tennessee, Arkansas, Georgia and
South Carolina, and that the time has
fully come for the introduction of physi-
illogical temperance into all day mis-
sionary schools.
On political parties the assembly passed
the following:
We reaffirm the delverance of the Portland
assembly. that mo political party has the right
to expect the support of Christian men so long
as that party stands committed to the license
policy or refuses to put itself on record against
the saloon"
A protest against this resolution was
made by some "as an unwise interference
with political question" but the reso-
luton was passed by large majority.

For 35 years l have been priest and
bishop in London, and now approach
my eightieth year and have learned some
lessons, and the first is this: The chief
bar to the working of the Holy Spirit of
God in the souls of men and women is
intoxicating drink. know of no an
tagonist to that good Spirit more direct,
more subtle, more stealthy, more ubiq-
uitous than intoxicating drink. Though
have known men and women destroyed
for all manner of reasons, yet know of
no cause that affects man, woman, child
and home with such universality of
steady power as intoxicating drink
