Is Prohibition UnWiSe ?

1t is said that the Prohibition
lists advocate an unwisc measure
a measure which can never be
carried out. If failure to enforce
the law to its fullest extent de-
clares a measure to he unwise,
then all our laws deserve the
name for there is not a single law
that is fully enforced. The civil
law says, ''Thou shalt not kill, -
and yet the papers contain the
record of many murder. Shall
we pronounce the law which pro
tects human life an unwise one
There is upon the statute book d
law for the protection of proper
ty, and yet stealing is an every
day occurrence. Shall we de-
nounce the law and call for its re-
peal If we must introduce a Ii
cense law because under prohibi-
ton some liquor is still being
sold, why not license men to muir
der because the law prohibiting
murder does not wholly prevent
murder! If it is right in one
case, why not in the other 1t is
sometimes said that if men will
sell liquor and others will drink
it, we ought to make all the mon
ey out of the traffic we can-hence
we must license. Some people
will steal: why not license steal
ing! Some people will murder;
why not license men to doitl If
one is right, why is not the other !

The Liquor Traffic.

1t is supported by two things
of she strongest tendencies in hui
man nature-animal appetite and
love of money. 1t dcfes legisla-
lures; it brides iuries; it breaks
through the flimsy cobwebs OF
municipal laws; it dictates politi-
cal platforms; it tramps under Its
cloven hoof the holy Sabbath and
the law of God; it grows rich on
the hard-earned wages of power
ty: it fattens on the murdered
souls of men: and sitting in its
stately palace, or lounging in its
filthy den, it laughs at the broken
home, sncers at the widow 5
tears, and mocks the orphan ;
cry for bread. 1t steals the son :
kind heart, and robs the mother
of his love. 1t leads the bloom
ing daughter through the dim al
ley to the haunts of sin. 1t trans
forms the fathers loving tender
ness into beastly cruelty and
murdcrous hate. 1t changes the
once loved and loving bride into
the drudging slave of the drunk
ard hut. 1t sends the husband
to a drunkard's hopeless doom,
and drags the orphaned babe
away from home and friends, and
casts it into the putrid stream of
crime, to float on downward into
worse than death. Thus does it
sweep the smile from childhood 5
sunny face, it dims the luster of
ambition in the eye of youth, and
smears with foul disgrace the
hoary locks of age.-David b.

GrOundless Congratulations.

The Wine and Spirit Gazette
bubbles and overfows with kline
expressions for the afflicted in the
hospitals, asylums, and reforma
tories of Brooklyn, n. Y. The
liquor-sellers, it says, are deeply
interested in these unfortunates,
and proof of this is the fact that a
part of the money received for
licenses goes to their support. 1t
says: 'Frhis simply shows that
liquor selling contributes largely
to the maintenance of the great
philanthropic agencies of the land.
How much does Prohibition con-
tribute?''
The Herald and Presbyter re-
spends: "The tax paid by liquor
dealers is not in any sense be-
nevolent contribution, but is paid
because eXacted by the law of the
land. They do not give it to re-
lieve any ones suffering, and
have nothing to say as to how it
shall be applied. They do, how
ever, help to maintain charitable
institutions as well as jails, peni-
tentiaries, and reformatories. In
some Prohibition places the iails
cannot be kept going for want of
prisoners, and nothing secures a
steady supply of criminals so Ger
tainly as intoxicating drink. Sta
tistics show that more than four
tifths of the crime (thc Star says
ninety per cent. for which men
90 to penitentiaries are traceable
to drink. A large proportion of
those in insane asylums the Star
says fifty per cent? are there
through drink. Many asylums
and hospitals would be forced to
close were it not for the supply
of patients contributed by the Ii
quor- sellers.
Gas to the question, What do
Prohibitionists contribute! We
may answer that besides paying
their taxes, a thing which as re-
cent legal proceedings show, many
wealthy liquor-dealers in this sec
ton have not done, they give
money and time to charitable
work. We have been counting
over the people in our city who
are identified with philanthropic
institutions, and are interested in
noting that SO many Of them are
enthusiastic advocates of temper
ance. We have in mind a score
of liberal contributions to such
institutions, all by temperance peo-
pie. There may be some such
contributions by men in the Ii
quor business, but we have never
heard of them.

dereneracy. The declaration of an en-
inent authority that municipal misrule
is .sthe one conspicuous failure OF
American politics." follows as a natur-
al consequence of such degeneracy,
and is true alike of cities under Re-
publican and Democratic control. Each
accuses the other of extravaganza in
Congressional appropriations, and both
are alike guilty. Each protests, when
out of power, against attractions of the
civil service laws, and each when in
power violates those laws in letter and
i'm spirit. Each processes fealty to the
interests of the toiling masses, but both
covertly truckle to the money power in
their administration of public affairs.
Even the tariff issue, as represented in
the Democratic Mills bill and the Re-
publican Mckinley bill, is no longer
treated by them as an issue between
great and divergent principles of gov
eminent, but is mere catering to diff
ferent sectional and class interests.
The attempt in many States to wrest
the Australian ballot system from its
true purpose. and so to deform it as to
render it extremely difficult for new
parties to exercise the right of suffrage,
ID ali OublaSC uPoii fCPbioh SC'SA
ment. The competition of both old
parties for the vote of the slums, and
their assiduous counting CT the liquor
power and subservency to the money
power, have resulted in placing those
powers in the position of practical arbi-
tiers 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 party
that has shown, in five national cam
paigns, that it prefers temporary de
feat to an abandonment of the claims
of justice, sobriety, personal rights and
the protection of American homes.
(15) Recognizing and 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.

The ranks of drunkards are re-
cruited from the army of moder
ate drinkers. No man when he
begins to drink thinks that he
will ever pass the bounds of strict
moderation. 1t never occurs to
him that at last he will fill a
drunkard's grave. Yet no
drunkard was ever buried who
did not begin his downward
course by moderate drinking. 1t
is a dangerous thing to indulge
even moderately, for there is no
telling beforehand where it will
end. So dangerous is it, that in
my Judgment the only perfectly
safe way is not to begin at all.
Strong drink is not at all indis-
ponsable. For most persons it is
decidedly harmful. Especially
do young people net need any
stimulant, and for them it is
doubIy dangerous. And SO, lest
at some future time you should
wake up to find yourself under
the terrible power Of this curse,
we say most kindly and serious
ly: "Abstain totally, for you
do not need it, and it may curse
you so that you shall yourself
curse the day in which you were
born.S Do this for your own
sake, as well as for the sake of
all whom you may be able to in
fuence for the right, and you
may be sure that you will never
be sorry for the course that you
have followed. - Rev. A. F.
Schautflcr, in Sunday School
Times.

Archdeacon Farrar, in one of
his recent temperance addresses,
gives this testimony to the value
of total abstinence: "Cruikshank,
the artist, offered 100 pounds for
proof of violent crime commit
ted by a total abstaincr; and the
money remains unclaimed to this
day. | offer as much for proof
of any one case-cither in the
Church or out of where drunk
enness has been cured without to-
tai abstinence.

Platform of the Prohibition Party of Mis-
sissippi, Adopted at jackson, June
9Th 1894.

9Th 1894.
The Prohibition Party of Mississippi,
in Convention assembled, acknowledge
ing Almighty God as the source of all
true government and His law as the
standard to which human enactments
must conform to secure the blessings
of peace and prosperity, present the
following declaration of principles:
LIST, We declare our allegiance to the
National Prohibition party and re-af-
firm our endorsement of the National
platform adopted at Cincinnati June
Both, 1892.
2nd, AS the ballot is the bulwark of
the peoples liberties, we favor an in
telligent standard of suffrage and hon
esty and purity in all elections by the
people, and demand that all parties
shall be fairly represented on election
boards in this State.
Bird, We condemn, in unmeasured
terms. the spirit Of mob violence which
prevails in this and other States, where
by many citizens have been put to a
cruel and speedy death without the
benefit of judge or jury or the oppor-
tunity to prove their innocence as
guaranteed to them by the ConaiitU-
ton of the United States.
4th, We demand the repeal &C the
United States Internal Revenue law ;tii-
thorizing the issuance of Government
permits for the sale of liquor in Prohi-
bition territory.
9Th, In view of the serious and
alarming industrial and financial CON
ditions of the country, we deem the
settlement of the currency question in
in accordance with the principles laid
down by the Prohibition party of ur-
gent concern, second only in impor-
lance to the suppression of the liquor
traffic itself. "The money of the coun-
try should consist ofgold, silver and pa
per, and be issued by the General Gov
eminent only, and in sufficient guam
tity to meet the demands Of business
and give full opportunity for the en-
ployment of labor. To this end an in
crease in the volume of money is de-
manded. No individual or corpora
ton should be allowed to make any
profit through its issue. 1t should be
made legal tender for the payment Of
all debts, public and private. It's vol
ume should be fixed at a definite sum
per capita and made to increase with
our increasing population.
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-11-06
RESOLUTION,

Resolved, That we cannot too Sc
verely condemn the action of Missis-
sippi's Congressman in the House of
the 5lst Congress, every one of whom,
except Hon. Clarke Lewis of the 4th
District, opposed the passage of the
Wilson original package bill, whereby
it was sought to prevent the nullifica-
ton of all the Prohibition laws in this
and other States.

Murdered Girl.

Murdered Girl.
Gegrge Mills confessed yesterday that
he did the smutty and unmerciful deed
that was committed on Miss lana Vim
berly sometime ago. The case was ar
ranged for Mills TO get rid OF lana by
some Iaudanum. After he gave her that
he failed in his brutal attempt, and after
giving her the second dose it still was in
vain. So when he had her in log hut it
was then that he sought another way,
and after looking around in the house he
found an old gun rack that always hangs
over the door, and it was then that he
got in his british work by using that.
He says her father told him never to
bring her back alive; to get rid Of her in
some way, which h did.
Miss Savannah and the Old man
Wimberly, the old lady, and all the rest
Of the family planned way in which TO
get rid of her, in which they succeeded.
