PROWIPITIOI GETS 4 LIFT.

There are we'll meaning people in
this State who are in favor Of total
prohibition. Because sIere are some
men who abuse liquor drinking and
make drunkards Of themselves and
besgar their families. these prolibi-
tionists labor with might aud main to
stop by law all men from ENJOYING
their toddies and slipping their wine.
In some Of the parishes Of North Loul-
siana they have made such progress
as to have secured the passage Of po-
lice ordinances prohibiting the sale Of
liquor within their p%arochial limits
and their agitation Of the question
keeps the people in constant turmoil.
Almost every year an election is held
under the local option law 20 deter
mine whether this or that parish will
go ''wet" or ''dry," for or against the
sale Of liquor.
Now. Capt. j. n. Pharr, the candl-
date Of the combine for Governor, is a
well known prohibitionist and his wife
is at the head Of the Woman Christian
Temperance Union, whose aim is to
preach and propagate prohibition
and these facts give great encourage
ment to the advocates of the prohibit
tIon cause. That a prohibitiouist
should have been selected to lead the
combine is to them a recognition of
their cause, and they feel correspond
lHgly elated. Indeed, some of the
comhlners have already expressed the
opinion that the fact that their candi-
date was a pfo!ihitionist wonld add to
the strength Of their ticket in North
Louisiana where the sentiment is
growing in favor Of stopping by law
all men from Indulgence in liquors.
But, how about the sentiment in
Sonth Louisiana Do our people want
prohibition Are they prepared to say
that because some men make beasts
OF themselves and sink into drunk
ards graves, all men must lie deprived
of their personal liberty to use liquor
moderately Are they anxious To
spread more sumptuaTy laws on the
statute book and willing to
fanaticism aud r%Uritanism Are they
%hankering after a paternal form Of
government where everything is regu-
lated by law for the individual, from
the kind Of his drinks to the cut Of his
coat?
We opine not. The people Of South
Louisiana are deeply imbued with the
Democratic principle that "that people
is governed best which is governed the
least and believe that personal liber
ty should be restrained only when ab-
solntely necessary to secure the gen
eral welfare. They are not in tavor
OF prohibition and many Of those who
might have contemplated voting the
combine ticket, will think twice before
they encourage prohibition ty voting
for q rank prohibitionist for Governor.
We want no prohibition in ours.

Pliarr at the head Of this political
arglomeratinn If Heterogeneous Gle.
nients, take into mis- head to inject
into the political broth a little Of the
spice Of prohibition and straight-laced
~pulifanism, We gods, what %nnpalata-
bic compound will then be pressed
to the lips Of an afflicted people.
Such is the situation that presents
itself to the dispassionate mind Of the
intelligent man who studies honestly
the scope and hearing Of the nnhoiy
alliance whose only motto is anything
10 beat Democracy"
The only principle Of these com
liners is that Of the destroyer. They
call upon the people to destroy, to
break the hnlwark Of Democracy and
white Supremacy which the white
people of the State have established
to such sacrifices. And while they
rall upon the people to commit suci,
an act Of supreme folly they give no
assurance Of what they pro,ose to
hnild on the ruins Of Democracy.
They dare not say what they propose
to do for, if they will tell us that
they will give rs Il government on
rnnniist;r lines. they Will drive from
them would u National Republicans;
il they say that they will put in prac-
'ica the professions Of the National
Rcpuhiieans they will ALLEVIATE the
popnlists aud black Republicans and
if they intimate they will panaer to
the desires Of tie black Republicans,
they will raise the standard Of revolt
in the ranks Of Pnpnllsts and all true
white men leaning t, Repablicanism.
Let every man leaning towards the
combine study the situation in the
light If truth. honesty and patriotism,
and insist upon AZ answer to the ques-
tIons pralaundeh herein before cast
ing his vote for it. Every citizen has
4 right t. know for whom and for
what lte votes 10 know what sort Of
III administration Il set of men bid
ding for his vote will give his native
State in case they should be elected.
The question is i plain one and most
pertinent to the issue and should be
answered.
