destroys in man will-power, self
respect, self-control, and finally,
character; in fact, it destroys IN
him all that go to make up true
manhood. 1t destroys the pur-
pose of God in mans creation, and
defeats the eud of government.
1t brings forth all manner of vice
and crime and does most to fill
prisons, poor houses, asylums, and
graves. And now having cursed
individuals and society, it has
like a serpent, twined itself
around the top of the columns of
our State, and "hangs Kissing al
the nobler man below" In vain
has the State tried TO make the
traffic respectable; it scorns res
pectability, and continually tears
off its respectable clothes, expos
ing its filthy nakedness, and caus-
ing the State to spend labor and
resources to patch up the rents in
its respectability. 1t not only re
fuses to be made respectable 1t.
self, but also refuses to allow any
one else to be so who has anything
much to do with it. Were it not
a crime against both God and man,
it should still be suppressed, be
cause it is a continual source OF
trouble ami annoyance to the
State.
What then should we as cili
zens do? We now share with the
State in the crime, but not IN the
profits: we want to share in neilh-
er, and, God helping US we aoill
not. We as citizens make the
State; we make he what we our
selves are. Cannot We, therefore,
make her tree from this cursey
She has stopped everyone else,
herself she cannot stop. Jehovah
said to Israel in captivity, "Seek
the peace of the land wherein We
dwell, for in its peace shall ye
have peace. Therefore, the
highest peace and prosperity of
each one of US as citizens demand
that we shall constantly seek the
peace and prosperity of the land
In Wnlcn We i've.
This is our land, and it is a
goodly heritage. 1t is our duty to
her, 10 ourselves, our homes. and
our God to save her from dishonor
and decay. Appetite and greed
of gain keep up the traffic. TO
kill it we must strike at these.
The traffic must be made unprot
liable and unpopular, and drunk
enness, if not a crime, at least a
iSGgrace.
The "liquor question"-prohi-
billion or no prohibition-now be-
fore the people nf South Carolina
is the only possible right question.
Let us answer it Alright once and
for all. Let every christian cit
izen pray and vote, and let every
citizen work and vote for prohibi-
ton. The only successful way to
deal with the traffic is to kill it,
and, by the "SEord of the Lord
and Gideon" We hope at the
August election to kill and bury
it forever and ever, Amen. And
the devil and those who love gold
better than the souls of men, will
be its only mourners.

The Attitude Of the Citizen to the
Liquor Problem.

1t is not possible within the
limits of this brief article, to enter
into a full discussion of either
citizenship or the liquor question,
or yet of the relation of the one
to the other; but only briefly 10
touch upon the duty of the citl-
zen 10 what is commonly called
the "Liquor Problem.
1t might be we'll, just here, to
briefly d fine the term "Liquor
Problem:" as used in this article.
In general terms it means simply
this: What shall the State do
with the liquor traffic. 1t has
many phases and suggests many
minor questions, but they may
be all resolved into this one conl-
prehensive question. For all
practical purposes, however, the
term "liquor problem" with the
citizen of South Carolina to day
is: Shall we continue to have
some form of the dispensary. in
which every citizen, however un-
willing, is a partner with the State
in the traffic, or shall We have
prohibitions That is the question
which we are now called upon tc
decide, and upon that question
must we vote at the next election.
II is impossible either to ignore or
evade the question; and since it is
one of the questions OF the politi-
cal campaign, every citizen must
decide and act for or against pro.
hibition, whether he wishes to do
so or not.
The State has been asking her
self "liquor questions through all
her past history. She has. always
had a "liquor problem" for, like
Banguo's host, it evil not down.,
but continues to rise up again and
again for settlement, and all be-
cause it was not settled right at
first. But, however settled, it
will continue TO be a more or less
troublesome question as long as
mel have base appetites, or love
gold better than the welfare of
their fellowmen. Whatever have
been the many liquor questions
which the State has had 10 ans.
wer, the tendency of her legisla-
ton has been steadily, not toward
suppression, but towards greater
State control, eliminating in the
present dispensary law. She has
always regarded the traffic, not so
much as an evil TO be suppressed,
as lemon to be squeezed; for,
however she may have from time
to time changed her methods Of
dealing with the traffic, she has
never changed her one constant
purpose to own and control its
revenue. Though apparently
very anxious tosdehorn the dan
gerons COW, she never once loses
sight of the milk supply. But if
the liquor traffic is an evil-and
almost all admit that it is
should it not be'entirely suppress
ed without regard to the revenue,
however greati
Having therefore prohibited and
suppressed the traffic on the part
OF her citizens, the question now
is:Shall she herself continue in the
business or 60 out and thus give
US prohibition, as the constitu
,ion provides?
That the liquor traffic is a curse
to the State as we'll as to the in
dividual, hardly needs proof; it is
an undisguised curse, it curses

PROTESTS FROM NEGROES.
Recent Treatment of Their Brothers In
the south Arouses Them
to Action.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-At a meeting
of the Forum club, composed of about
500 of the most prominent colored citi-
zens of St. Louis, Prof. o. NJ Wood,
race commissioner of the organization,
delivered an eloquent address upon the
subject of the recent bloody massacres
of negroes in the southern states.
Resolutions were presented by Prof.
Peter II. Clark of the Sumner High
school recommending the appointment
of committee of seven to draft an adj
dress to President Mckinley, calling
his attention to the defenseless condi-
ton of colored citizens who, are sub
iected in the states in which they live
to all forms of violence, and ask him to
intervene in behalf of humanity and
good government.
The committee is instructed to circu-
late this petition throughout the United
States for the purpose of securing
signatures and cooperation of the COL
ored citizens of the entire country. A
copy will be sent to each United States
senator and representative.

will make her report on it, and seek to
overcome the adverse decision of the
executive committee on the subject. a
very lively contest is promised, the first
move probably being an attempt to Sc
cure a secret ballot. Friends of the
temple believe they can gain most by
such course, because of the timidity
of some of tho delegates.
The general opinion has been that
Mrs. L. M. Il. Stevens, vice president
at large and acting president, would be
unopposed i'll her candidacy for the
place made vacant by the death of Miss
Frances Willard, but several other can
didates have been announced. Mrs
Martin Y. Durham Of Iowa, one of the
temple trustees and now state president
of Iowa, is a prominent candidate, and
her friends hope for help from the
friends of the temple. Another promi-
nent candidate is Mrs. G. B. Forbes,
state president of Connecticut.
Mrs. Stevenson's resignation leaves
the position of corresponding secretary
vacant. Miss Anna A. Gordon, form
erly Miss Wllliards confidential friend
and secretary, seems to be the most
prominent IN the field for the place.
There seems no reason to doubt that
the other officers will be reelected. The
place of the next meeting will probably
be Seattle.

TROOPS SAIL FOR CUBA.
Take, Refse to Leave, Until
They Get Their Pay.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Adjutant
General Corbln received dispatch an
nouncing that the Eighth cavalry
sailed Sunday morning from Savannah
for Puerto Principe, Cuba. The regi-
ment will be- the American garrison at
Puerto Principe and Nuevitas.
Arrangements have been made by the
Spanish authorities to send back to
Spain the Spanish troops, numbering
$500 men, upon the arrival of the
American garrison. 1t was expected
that they would sail next Tuesday or
Wednesday, but an unexpected obstacle
has arisen among the men themselves.
They are on the verge OF mutiny,
openly declaring they will not return to
Spain until they have received their
pay, now far in arrears, for service in
Cuba. The mutiny extends not alone
TO tho enlisted men. but to their officers,
and is directed against the executive
officials Of the Madrid government on
the island
If they should persist in their refusal
TO return to Spain, they might become
dependents, whom it would be difficult
to care for and, ultimately perhaps,
menace to good government on the
island.
The Spanish authorities express no
fear of then ability TO solve the problem
presented, but how they VIII solve it, if
the men, backed by their officers, abso-
lutely refuse to return home without
their pay, is not clear.

BRIGHAM YOUNG'S SON
The Man Said to Be Interested
In Philippine Syndicate.
REVENUES CONCESSION WANTED.
The Organization Reported to Represent
$500, 100000 Capitai-Propose to Pay
Spain Certain Sum to Satisfy Her
Real or Fanci,sd Claims.

SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. lathe young
man mentioned in the Paris dispatch Of
this date in connection with the Philip
pine islands question is undoubtedly
John w. Young, the well-known pro-
moter and contractor. He built the
Utah Central railroad from this city to
Park City, Utah, and was prominent in
many other Utah enterprises. He is a
son of Brigham Young, and left this
city for Europe about eight years ago,
since which time but little is known
here of his movements.
PARIS. Nov. 1.-THE Gaulois and
other Paris papers. it is asserted, will
today announce that syndicate repre-
senting $500, 000,000 capital proposes to
toxic over the commercial resources and
advantages OF the Philippines for a
term of 20 years, paying to the domin-
ant party therein SI25,000, 900 for the
privilege.
Under the alleged terms of this
scheme the dominant power would adj
minister the political and military gov
eminent OF the islands at its own ex-
pense, under the apportionment named,
while the syndicate would collect all
customs and other revenues for the
term specified.
The scheme involves giving Spain
$4,000, 900 to satisfy any real or mag
mary claims she may make as to the
territory. This feature is said to be
based on the assumption that the United
States will be the dominant power
The remaining $1,000, 900 of this re-
Ddtod syndicate would be reserved as
Its working capital.
The sponsor OF the project is a Mr..
Young, said to be son of Brigham
Young, and an attempt is apparently
made TO create the impression that the
capital of 100000, 900 is already under
written.
Whether it veritable or other
wise, friends OF the United States here
are asking Ii the announcement of the
scheme IS not intended to embarrass the
Americans by an offer, real or apparent,
of $500, 100000 for a limited time, for
the use of what the Americans may de-
sire to~acquire in perpetuity for a sum
relatively nil.
