Poverty, Anarchy and Distress.

How true it is that many benevolent So
ciety would find itself out of work the mo-
ment that righteousness in action should close
the saloon.-Westerly Tribune.
Throwing Prohibition votes into the ballot
box is good way to break the skylights in the
hotbeds of anarchy. Break these lights and
soon the frost will nip the buds.-Midland.

Should this Issue be Delayed?

Think of it! The entire volume of our cur
rency, gold, silver and paper, passes over the
saloon counters every fifteen months. Our
currency is about 81 100000 and the drink bill
each year is $12OO,OOO,OOO. Get this startling
fact into your mind and then ask yourself if
the liquor issue is not really greater in it's
economical aspects than the free coinage of
silver-The Lever.

John Miller is now ill jail to await trial on the charge of grand larceny. John is the negro who has been stealing so many sets of harness in this city, and who was aided and abetted in his rascality by white men who bought the stolen harness from him fer one-fourth its value. John first stole a set Of buggy har- ness from Dr. Withers. This harness he. sold. or almost gave away to Mr. Silbernagle Capt. ]. E. York was the next victim of the rogue. for one night his fine buggy harness was stolen. John sold this harness to Mr. 3. Culpepper,for it is said the sum ot $2. .50 Mr Chestnut was the next victim of the notorious thief, he lost q fine guitar, which the thief sold to an Italian Of this city. i few days ago John, feeling little in the need of funds, and ic being against his inclination to honestly earn it, stole another set of hm- ness. The last victim was Mir Wm. Davis. This harness was carried te Altheimer While trying to sell it af that place he was arrested and brought back here when heconfessed his crimes, and will go to the peni tentiary. People can not be too careful how they purchase articles from negros and strange white people, especially so when the arti- cles arc offered for less than one fourth their true value.
