In mentioning the failure of Prohi-

Lincoln County Times says: "The two
parties seem to be united only in their
hatred of Democracy" Kindly, wish
to say, as Prohibitionist, that it is
not Democracy that we hate, but it is
the soul-damning liquor traffic foster
ed by the Democratic party that we SO
much abhor. If an unceasing warfare
on the liquor traffic IN all of it's varied
forms is war on Democracy, then the
Times had just as we'll buckle on his
armour and get ready for the fight. A
love for pure Democracy drove many
of us out of the Democratic ranks, and,

BAPTIST AND METHODIST two OF
4 KIND.

"A
The Texas Baptist Standard and The
Tennessee Methodist, representing as
they do widely divergent church creeds,
are both nearer THE LEADERS ideal of
what true religious newspapers ought
to be, than any religious journals with
in the range of our acquaintance. Both
are bright, newsy, admirably independ-
ent. fair and fearless in the treatment
of all religious and moral questions
which properly come within the pur-
view of religious journalism. Both
boldly proclaim and ably maintain that
there is not one standard OF morality
and religion for man in the church
and another and Wholly different
one in secular and political affairs; in
brief, that no one can be saint in re-
ligion and devil in business or poll
ties.
If all the religious journals Of Amer
lea possessed the true Christian cOur-
age, honesty and moral earnestneos of
these two papers. the infamous licens-
ed liquor traffic, which is standing
reproach to this so-called Christian ma
ton, and all the political corruption
and misgovernment which it fosters,
could not survive another quadrenni-
UNI. The Baptist Standard is edited
by DR.. j. B. Cranfill, at Waco, and the
Tennessee Methodist by Reys. b. F.
Haynes and Sam P. Jones, at Nash
Vile No Baptist or Methodist who
admires the brave and true and wants
to do his duty as Christian patriot,
should be without one or the other of
these superb religious Weeklies.
