The Same Old Objections.

hear the old political saw, that
I'VE must take the least of two evils. :"
For myself, if two evils are
presented to me, will take neither.
There are occasions of political differ
ence, I admit, when it may become
expedient to vote tor candidate who
does not completely represent our SEN
timents. There are matters legiti-
mately within the range of expediency
and compromise. The tariff and the
currency are Of this character. If a
candidate differs from me on these
more or less, I may vote for him.
But the question before the country
is of another character. This will not
admit Of a compromise. 1t is not with
in the domain of expedience. To be
wrong on this is to be wrong wholly.
It is not merely expedient for us to
defend Freedom when assailed, but our
duty so to do, unreservedly, and care
less of consequences.
But it is said that we shall throw
away our votes, and that our opposi-
ton shall fail. Fail, sir! No honest,

earnest effort in a good cause can fail.
It may not be crowned with applause
Of men; it may not seem to touch the
goal of immediate worldly success,
which is the end and aim of SO much
in life. But it is not lost. It helps
to strengthen the weak with new vir-
tue-to arm the irresolute with proper
energy-to animate all with devotion
to duty, which in the end conquers
all. Fail! Did the martyrs fail when
with precious blood they sowed the
seed of the church? Did the dis
comffted champions of Freedom fail,
who have left those names in history
that can never die? Did the three
hundred Spartans fail, when in the
narrow pass they did not fear to brave
the innumerable Persian hosts, whose
very arrows darkened the sun? Over
borne by numbers, crushed to earth,
they left an example greater far than
any victory. And this is the least we
can do. Our example will be the main
spring of triumph Observation-Disclosures

MAKING DRUNkARDs BY LAW.

The following from the Pittsburg
Christian Advocate, is as good put
ting of the prohibition case upon the
point involved as we remember to
have seen:
Much is said about the impossibility. Of
making men sober by law, and Of the i'm.
propriety Of attempting 1t. This kind Of
argument is supposed to have much force.
But we submit that it is exactly the
wrong way Of putting the case. It is not
a question Of making men sober by law,
but Of making them drunkards by law:
and that is very different proposition.
cept those who inherit taste for strong
drink from drunken parents, they all in
cline to temperance. It takes the temrter
and the dram shop to make them drunk
ards. Without the dram shop there would
be few drunkards. It IL the drunkard-
maker. When It II established by law,
then It IL the making Of people drunlxards
by law that II to be considered, and not
the making OF men sober by law.

handled by K. w. Brown, the Iowa
Prohibition drummer, when on the
stump:
No man is a good Democrat unless he
votes the ticket of his party. No man is
good Republican unless he votes the
ticket. No man is Prohibitionist unless
he votes the ticket. Many men insist that
this is an error, and assure us that they
are good Prohibitionists in their hearts,
at which we rejoice and are glad If they
have prohibition in their hearts, or stOm-
achs, or gizzards, but we insist upon 1t
that q VOTE and vote only, counts, and
that mems morals, be they deacons or
distillers, count for nothing political II
they vote the Prohibition ticket or any
other. In 1860 learned man that we
knew Of, who resided in the South, was
favorable to the Union. His personal in
fluence and his public work, his prayers
and his speech were heard for his plea for
preservation of the Union. He advocated,
urged, and demanded, with all his intel
lectual and moral force for the old Union
as 1t was. Was he Union man? Ipause
for q reply. This Union man was all right
like so many Prohibitionists of to-day
until he came to the ballot box, when he
saw that he was SO overwhelmed in the
minority, he did not want to throw away
his VOTE SO he cast it with his party and
was rewarded by being elected vice presi-
dent Of the Confederacy. His name was
Alexander III. Stephens. A hundred SINH
lar instances might be given, showing
that nothing counts but the vote.

PRoHIBlTIoNIsTs ARE sTAYERs.

There is food for reflection in the
fact that many so-called reform par
ties have sprung into existence in the
last thirty years and that all lacked
staying qualities except the Prohibi-
ton party which, having braved the
political storms of third of CEN
fury, is still in the arena, stronger,
better organized, more determined and
more hopeful than ever before, and
is there to stay until the righteous
principle upon which it stands is the
adopted policy Of our great nation.
The sooner "reformers" grasp the fact
that the first step to true reform Is
cleansing the political and govern
mental affairs of this nation from the
corrupting influence Of the liquor pow
er, the better it will be for reform"

He THREW HIS VOTE AWAY.
RY MRS. i G. WOODWARD.

A man stepped up to the ballot-box
On election day at noon;
He cast vote which meant blow
At the Infamous licensed saloon.
He left the place with conscience clear,
When he heard man laugh and say
AS he passed along, There goes crank
Who has thrown his vote away"
The man who laughed was temperance

Who did not like the saloon,
But he thought Prohibition an idle dream,
might as well reach for the moon"
He wanted to vote with a party which

A chance to win the day.

When he stepped up to the ballot box,
The straight ticket" vote he gave;
Meant nothing at all except that he
Was loyal party slave.

Till the men he had helped to elect
Drove the country's affairs from bad to

And he hadn't q word to say;
While he admitted that HE was the crank
