Purley A. Baker He will tell you
that the liquor legislation passed this
last winter at Columbus, and about
which the Republican papers are not
saying very much, is entirely salts
factory. SO 1t is, to the liquor dealers
and their organization, and it was not
allowed to be passed until twas. OF
course under such circumstances 1t Is
safe to say that 1t will prove alto
gether inert, and will not promote the
cause of Temperance in practice at
ALL The temperance people of the
State, and there are many of them,
have been buncoed again. But de-
pend upon 1t, the liquor dealers have
not. The former entrust their cause
before the Legislature to lot of
tricky politicians in league with pro-
fessional frauds, whose main stake in
the business is to take up collections.
The liquor dealers have the wisdom to
look after their traffic themselves, and
to know what they are getting. And
when law is passed which is de-,
clared to be satisfactory to both, we
may conclude that the temperance
man thinks he has to vote the Repub-
llcan ticket on the ground that the
party has done something for his
cause, while the liquor dealer knows
that nothing has been done to njure
his interests. The difference is be-
tween thinking and knowing
AS the net result,-so far as promot-
ing temperance among the people is
concerned will be nil, in any event, it
makes nice nest-egg, in behalf of
which the anti-saloon dervishes will
howl for collections from all the pul.
pits of the State after awhile, and
these gentry will be ready again to
turn in and leg for Bro Harris and
the faithful of the Republican ma
chine.
In this deal, who has been swindled?
Not the liquor dealers, for they o. KID
no legislation that did not leave them
immune. Not the League, because It's
function of soliciting contributions has
not been impaired 1t is,-as usual,
the people. And they are easy.
The Democratic record on the TEN.
perance question may not always have
commended itself to the public, but it
never got so low as to develop such
grinning hypocrisy as this. Upon this
question the Republican party seems
to have beaten Mr.. Lincoln: they can
fool,--not indeed "all the people all
the time" but they can fool ma
jority Of them. and for practical pur-
poses majority serves their turn
very well.

WHERE WE STAND.

During the controversy which has
been going on between some of the
clergy of this city, and some of the
officials of the city, we have adhered
to our known rule of giving to the
readers Of this paper full information
OF such facts as we have judged to be
of public interest. Nothing has been
kept back out of favor to any one, or
through fear of any consequences.
We have published such communica-
tons as have seemed to MS decent In
form and to allege grievances which
the people are entitled to have rene
died.
At the same time we have not failed
to insist that the city administration
thus assailed is of Republican pater-
nifty and responsibility, and that its
misdoings are the necessary accom-
paniments of system of government
thoroughly bad,--known to be so by
everybody, but even the slightest
reformation of which was refused by
a Republican Legislature, at the bid
ding of local politicians who pull the
string by which our municipal jump
ing jacks are made to dance.
We have ventured to criticize some
of the clergymen in question for what
seems to us the gross inconsistency
between their present assault and
their known political affiliations, and
the presumable continuance Of the
lattsr,--the two together amounting
In our view, to striking at an evil with
the left hand and at the same time
upholding 1t with the stronger right
hand.
We have argued that the only Of.
fectual way to attack bad system
of government is to reach behind the
paltry figure-heads who are permitted
TO hold the offices, and to unmask the
hidden power which controls their
policies and directs their misconduct.
1t may be set down as fact that
this paper will persevere in the course
thus marked out, We stand by law
and its orderly and impartial enforce.
ment. This position on our part is
due to the readers Of this paper and to
the public. We are not yet ready to
assume that they will not approve of
our conduct in this respect.
1t Is equally certain that we shall
continue to show where the RESPONSE
billty for the alleged miscarriage of
law in our community lies, and we
shall place it at the door where we
think It belongs. We shall even hope
that the men who are now inveigling
against IN unfaithful public
officer will carry their pro-
tests with them to the ballot box, and
to vote for one against whom worse
charges cannot Well be made. And
we shall urge that the ends of public
justice are not adequately answered
by the occasional prosecution of a
few poor devils of offenders out in the
provinces, while the proteges of a city
boss 90 Scot free,
1t may as well be understood also.
that no fears OF any consequences TO
us will turn us from this line of con.
duct. II Is not necessary that
this paper shall have a
certain number of readers. 1t
Is necessary that it shall stand for
aud defend the interests of the people
OF this community, openly. truthfully
and impsrtally.
1t matters not 10 us at all who else
lies down. We shall not.
That Others are recreant to duty is
no reason why we should be so.

to attend, SO sent q letter instead. The
letter was read to the club by Mrs.

strong remarks IN support OF the crus-
ade which the health department has
instituted. DR., Kings letter follows
In full.
"Ladies-It is with great regret that
