DEAR PmALANx =. am & II glad
that some friend was instrumental
in giving your readers Rev. ChaS.
l.. Jessup's timely, severe, but Just
arraignm mt OF his fellow protessed
Christians for their completely with
saloon licensing parties. Now |
know something about the Friends
or Quakers, for my father was a
preacher among them and an aboli-
t.onist. remember thatthe Friends
were solidly anti-slavcry; not one
Iof them voting with pro-slavery
party, and boycotting every kind OF
Islave-produced goods and the dis
Itillery as a market for their corn.
But what change forty years has
wrought. | have ! mented the
Abandonment OF ancient landmarks.
but more particularly the political
degeneracy SO manifest to me. But
| will not elaborate farther.
Friend Jessup is your John c..
Woolley. lam Lot a Friend. Hand
that epistle to your pro saloon
brother and kindly ask him to read
il, and when he is through he will
imagine he sees the man of truth
with finger pointed at hum, and
aears the rebuke, "Thou art the
N IN" in stentorian tones.
Then there is a profound antithesis
in this grand and ennobling appeal
of Rev. Jessup to hls fellow pro-
fessed Christians, for the Christian
standard in politics, made by Il
paradox without parallel in inn
moral legislation, in the history OF
this state or OF our country.
The fact is appalling that the law
on our statutes for the open saloon
and its infamous counter part, the
quart-shop, was framed by a man
the guidance of the Holy
Ghos and holding license 10
preach Christ's gospel to the poor
drunkard, made SO by his unnatu
raj law. Just think OF it, Could
human action be more inconsistent?
Is there double standard for
Christianity? Can preacher frame
a law for evil, and have that law az
for the destruction of souls
and mankind's best interests as
gati ~ gun in war, and stlnd un-
before God? Is the
standard of right flexible, elastic
thing that the individual may.
stretch to suit his preconceived
opinions or selfish interests? One
preacher tells US that he cannot be
a Christian and affiliate with a.
making and vice-licensing
party, and straightway leaves such |
a party for = party holding high the
standard of good morals in politics
and government. The presbytery
Dt New Brunswick asked Rev. DR..
to resign from Princeton
Theological School because he
signed a petition fora saloon license,
and that was right. He ought to
have resigned if he believed the
saloon right. Now how about lndi-
ana? Why out mere we have a good
law Just suiting saloon keepers and
quart shop demons. Did some
whisky dealer or distiller frame and
ask the legislature 20 pass the law?
No Did the quarterly meeting ask
he author of this law to resign?
Not that we know of. If the Jaw
permitting drunkenness is right,
hen every act that is the result OF
drunkenness is right.

The prohibition cause is advanc-
ing. If you want TO he numbered
among the pioneers of this cause
you must hurry up, or you will be
too late. Nothing succeeds like
success, and when the prohibition
party reaches certain line it will
gain converts by the thousands, and
many who are now doing their best
to hinder the work will be in the
front rank throwing up their hats,
and shouting "Hurrah for Prohi-
bition." Especially will this be
the case with the ministers.

"e'ano rTeC'nCt Craftsmanship.
Mr.. EDTToR:--As we understand
that the f,iends Of Mr.. Koerner are
trying to explain away his action in
the matter of a precinct chairman
here, we wish TO assist them, and we
promise to tell the whole truth in
the case, and nothing but the truth.
In the first place, we deny that
there was anything personal in the
meeting. The first thing that was
done after organizing was to make
a clear statement of the facts, and
state that this was not in any sense
a personal matter. Next the state.
ment was made of the appointment
OF chairman without consulting
any Of the democrats of the pre-
cinct, and the question was asked
Are you satisfied with the appoint
ment? to which the unanimous
voice of thirty five democrats IN
swered, "Non
Then the meeting proceeded to
elect Mr.. Cave. But the public are
aware o. that, ard it is not my pur-
pose to repeat it here.
What | am trying to do is to
place the facts before the public.
When Mr.. koerner refused to
recognize the action of the meeting,
he told Cave that he had taken the
appointment from him because he
(Cave) was prospective candidate.
Now the democrats here think it a
little strange that the County Chair.
man can be a candidate, and pre-
sumo to keep other men from being
precinct chairman on the plea that
they MIGHT become candidates.
Mr.. koerner also told Mr.. Cave:
Then by your actions, you demo-
Gratis down there have said that the
present chairman is not an honest
man, and will not hold fair cleo
ton" That was far from being
true; there was no such intention,
nor was there anything Of the kind
said or meant. Is it possible that
when men meet to exercise the
rights granted them by the consti-
,tution-the right that is the basis of
all free government-the right for
which our fathers fought SO bravely
the fight which has now become.
'ctfbodfe6 6rvenf M m zcuhstitdtfonal4
monarchies, / mean the right that
men have Of electing their own rep
resentatives, that such construction
as that will be placed on their
action? Can it be that men can't
vote their sentiments without the
assumption that somebody is dis
honest?
But Mr.. Koerner, by placing that
construction upon the action Of that
meeting, has simply said to thirty
five democrats "You are all dis
honest, and you will NOT hold a fair
election
This may be may be one way to
make votes, but it has entirely
failed in this precinct. Quite num-
Der who would have voted for Mr..
Koerner have entirely changed
their mind.
The most popular cry is, "Open
the Books" There are two points
that the farmers here can not
see into; one is, why have the tax
es been on the increase for the last
fourteen years, or in other words
since the county debt has been
paid, and the other point is, why
the parties in charge of the books
object SO strenuously to an examin
alton? When you come to think of
it, that is little. strangel We don't
pretend to say that there is any
thing wrong vii III the books, for we
don't know. But why not have
them examined?

YELLOW JACK AGAIN.

Washington, September 10.-Ihere ls
some doubt as to whether or not yellow
fever has actually appeared as reported,
among the American troops In Porto
Rico. A cahlegrain was received tnls
