The "wets' and edrys" Of Minneapolis had a
peculiar experience the other day when it was
discovered that a saloon keeper was holding an
office as the result of an appointment by the Pro-
hibition committee The name of William Fewer
was presented to the City Council for one of the
judges of elections by the Prohibition committee
of the city and was promptly confirmed. 1t now
turns out that he is not Prohibitionist, but en-
gagged in the liquor traffic In explanation OF the
appointment, the chairman OF the Prohibition
committee said that Fewer looked like Prohb-
ton name to him and he therefore sent in the
appointment But the joke is on the Prohibition
lists Fewer will not resign the appointment,
but declares that he proposes as judge of election
to discharge his official duties without fear or
favor

TEMPERANcE ISSUE RAIsED.

ID ERIIAPS it is just as well that Mr. Arters
Il and Mr.. Morgan should bring the tenn
perance question before the people when they do
with a demand that the old parties shall nominate
candidates with the wet and dry" issues in
sight, and hold other questions that ordinar-
ily divide the Democratic and Republican parties
as subordinate.
The matter will have to be met sometime. The
most important question TO the ministers is the
wet and dry question. and candidate should
be nominated for Congress, according to them
who will support temperance legislation in that
body.
We presume the same demands will be made
upon the Democratic aspirants for Congress as
soon as the ministers can detect who are being
mentioned among the Democrats for that posi-
ton. We have heard the Hon. John G. Gray
mentioned, and he could doubtless get the nom-
nation if he wanted it. unless the convention
nominates Mr. Davis for governor. We doubt,
however if Mr. Gray cares for the nomination
We do not imagine that the Democratic

answers will be different from those OF the
Republicans. In that event it is possible that the
more radical of the leaders among the "drys
will place an independent ticket in the field. This
would furnish some test of how many persons are
willing to abandon their allegiance TO the old par
ties to take up the idea that upon all occasions
the prohibition issue is the chief issue. We
believe the vast majority of the people of this
State will conclude tlSt they settled the prohibi-
tion question for some time at least at the cleo

Rryan in south caroiina.

Charleston News and Courier
When we remember that South Carolina
has hundreds of Democrats whose for
tunes are rated at from 100000 to S1OOoOOo,
and many thousands Of Democrats who
are well to do. who are making money,
who have been able TO hold large part
Of their cotton crop of the last year, @ho
are drawing dividends on bank and mill
stocks, the inference is obstrusive that the
noise about Bryan previous to the Denver
convention came from the throats Of pol.
iticians and demagogues unwilling to
make the smallest sacrifice for what they
professed or from persons who believed
that while Mr.. Bryan's nomination was in
evitable his candidacy was hopeless.
