 The women had been held by Justice w. S. Stokes on the charge of larceny. Their accCser was a white man living on the Scott place. a few miles from town. who charged them with stealing $l0 from him. The women were employed to clean up the house and after they had gone one morning he missed the money.
 Their release was ordered yesterday by Judge Sayre as he did not deem the evil dence against them sufficient to convict them of the charge of larceny.

THEY ARE NOT INDIFFERENT.

1t is not so much Indifference as
prejudice which keeps many from our
meetings. 1t is not that they so rare
ly or so carelessly consider our prin-
ciples, or are so little moved by the
considerations which have led others
to enlist in the fight against the sa-
loon. No, they think often and
earnestly upon the subject and are
deeply moved by it. But they think
unwisely and their feelings are selfish
feelings-an anxiety for their bust
ness, or popularity or party rather
than for the welfare of their fellow
men. In word, large numbers of
those who are often accounted indif-
ferent are as deeply interested in this
movement as are any Of it's friends
but on the wrong side. They know
their duty but will not do it and hav-
ing come to this determination, or,
at least, being in this state of mind

home upon them.
Is this discouraging? We think not
It is inevitable that fight for the
death of an evil so entrenched in per-
sonal interest will awaken bitter
prejudices, will in many cases put
ones entire manhood to the test This
personal struggle with ones worse
self must precede a general victory
for national righteousness. It is one
step in the march of progress. We
should rejoice that such vast num-
Der of men have been brought face to
face with this issue and that they
realize that, at whatever sacrifice, they
must help to settle it or lose their self
respect. Bitter prejudice and even
open opposition are vastly better fol
our cause than ignorance and indiffer
ence.

BACK BONE.

The court which last month again
sent Mrs. Nation to Jail for destroy
ing some of the implements of the
business of a law violator has on
numerous occasions protected joint
keepers. The unjust Judge who
neither fears God nor regards man is
often found on the bench still, and
there is no business which receives
such unmerited and unlawful favors
at his hands as the liquor traffic.
An apologist says of Cecil Rhodes
that he was too great man to be
tried by ordinary moral standards.
There is altogether too much of this
sort of nonsense in the air. 1t puts
upon a high pedestal men who in
commercial or official position have
sold their convictions for wealth,
popularity or power and condones in
leaders of the church even offenses
which would cover ordinary Christians
CD with obloquy.

THE MEANING OF A BALLOT.

Backbone has never said that
Christian man could not vote Re
publican or Democratic ticket. We
all know that men can do very strange
things and yet imagine they are do
ing no harm. This is because of their
prejudices or their viewpoint or their
peculiar mental makeup. Paul verify
thought that he ought to do many
things contrary to the name of Jesus
of Nazareth. In this belief he shut up
many of the saints in prison and being
exceedingly mad against them, he
prosecuted them even unto foreign
cities and when they were put to
death he gave his vote against them.
We do not hesitate to say, however,
that every ballot cast for either the
Republican or Democratic party is a
ballot for the perpetuation of the Ii
cense system, that is, of the saloon

right, but also because we have an abid-
ing faith that it will win.
The Evangelical: We say emphatically
that 40 wine at ALL and no Lords supper,

by night to lead the American people from
the bondage Of the licensed saloon to q
land radiant with promise Of a protected

If the Gazette means that the

KEYSTONE PRoHIBlTIoNIsTs.

Pennsylvania Prohibitionists have just
held their largest and best convention to
date. Fred T. McCullom, the Prohibition
party sheriff of Venango county, was tenn
porary chairman, and big little Homer L.
Castle permanent chairman. The latter
referred to the organization of the party
in the state in 1873, when seven men met
in hotel room in Harrisburg and estab-
lished the Prohibition party. When he
stated that, so far as he knew, only one
Of the seven was now living and that he
was sitting upon the platform, H. T.
Hirschberger was honored with a tre-
mendous burst of applause which fairly
shook the building.
A great mass meeting was held one
evening and two on the other. They
were addressed, as were the regular ses-
sions, by o. w. Stewart, c. Fl. Mead, Lee
L. Grumbine and A. A. Stevens. DR.. s..
c. Swallow received an ovation, and
against his protest that the honor

mated for Governor. He will make a

raised and this will be greatly increased

either of them is an explicit order
from the citizen casting it to keep the
saloon going. The personal charac-
ter of the voter gives no color to his
ballot. It's meaning and effect are de-
termined by the character, platform
and record of the party which re-
ceives it. The party points to it's plat
form and record and on these asks the
voter for his support. If he gives it,
the party is under bonds-indeed,
is in honor bound to the voter-to
carry out it's platform and be true to
it's record.

No, we haven't won yet. But at
least they don't now say that our bills
are paid by the Democrats. That woe
is past.
The nation will yet be thoroughly
ashamed that French wine company
ever sued a German concern for hun
dreds of thousands of dollars as the
outgrowth of dispute as to the brand

The Equalization of the saloon is
so boldly defended in quarters where,
a few years ago, it was apologized for,
that it is safe to predict that unless
this tide of evil thought is stayed, the
licensed gambling hell and house of
infamy will within few years be
common thing in our cities.
Never forget that if you would like

Commonwealth, which is usually so
level headed: "Our Iowa men should
write their representatives in Con-

Our work is constantly to seek the
