TREND OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT

TREND OF PUBLIC SENTIMENT.
The Nashville American in dis
cussion with the Christian Advo-
cate, takes the WHISKY side Of the
question, and says, $50 far as we can
observe the trend of public senti-
ment, the saloon is here to stay"
The trouble with the American Is
that it is so blinded by corporation
goggles, that it cannot see the pub
lie sentiment at all.
There is nothing clearer to the
thoughtful, fair observer than that
"the trend of public sentiment il
daily becoming more opposed to the
saloon. Twenty years ago the
saloon business was regarded as sort
of half way respectable; now, not
only does society ostracise 1t. but it
IS boycotted by the railroad COM
panies, the insurance companies,
and other large corporations in the
business world.
Twenty years ago Tennessee had
no "Four-Mile" law; but two
years ago public sentiment com.
PEELED the passage of law extend
ing its Jurisdiction to towns Of two
thousand inhabitants or less, who
care to claim it's protection; and
the Americans news columns, from
time to time show "the trend of pub
lie sentiment" by reporting from
various towns the surrender Of their
charters.
Public sentiment in Tennessee is
against the saloon; overwhelmingly
against it; and nothing more is
needed to abolish the saloon in this
State than to crystalize that senti
ment and organize it into an active
energetic, compact, voting force.
Long, weary years of sad ex
perience have demonstrated thai
the saloon cannot be controlled. A
business which has for its stock il
trade a poisonous liquid to blight
happy homes and paupelize its Gus
TONERS; which for it's hope for new
and continuous custom must cor
rupt and debauch the youth o
the country; business which
so robs men of all better i'm
pulses as to make them deliberatel!
attempt to injure others purel!
for supposed money considerations
is an enemy to all law which seek
to restrain it's acts or curtail it's prof
its, and will not be controlled. N
law has ever been made, that tn
saloons could not evade. They ar
deaf to the entreaties of loved one

THE Nashville American fears
that il the Democrats who assemble
in National Convention at Kansas
City July 4, persist in "clinging to
discredi,ed issues and non-vota get
ting declarations, there will be an.
other funeral where they should be
feast next November" We see
no possible way for the American
to enjoy feast. If Bryan should
be elected, it would be funeral to
the Americans hopes; and If he
should be elected the American
would be afraid IL not ashamed to
discredit itself by enjoying the feast.
So the American had as well pre-
pare to attend it's own funeral next
November, aud have done with it.
THE Democrats who strayed from
the fold in 1896 are getting their new
birth and coming back into line
through great travail. Just any old
platform will suit them, provided it
does not indorse the Chicago plat
form. Or even that will go, provided
some of the objectionable" planks
are not "reaffirmed." Indeed one
can hardly tell whether they are dy-
ing hard or being born anew. How
ever. they are awfully anxious for
the preservation and success of the
party they helped to defeat four years
ago, and whose standard bearer they
will knife again for the slightest
provocation.
