THE REAL ISSUE.

The real issue in Indiana az everyone
knows, is the issue of county option
The measure, as designed by the re-
publican party, is one which will give
the people the chance to have exactly
what they want in their own locality
1t is temperance measure inasmuch
as it will give the people the chance to
decide for themselves. And as many
people have failed to recognizable To-
cality which is in a wet county under
the local option of the county system.
will still have the benefits of the re-
monstrance.
The remonstrance is not enough. 1t
is a powerful weapon in cases which
have become excessively obnoxious,
but it Is a measure for extraordinary
occasions. 1t Is a failure often be-
cause men fear to sign a remonstrance
lest they fall in i'll favor with the
brewery combine. Thus it is that the
county option is a measure for the
ordinary case. The voter in the booth
is anonymous and thus immune from
the pulling of wires. mo one can tell
what a man can do when he is in the
Australian ballot booth" And it is
on account of the very ability of the
people to decide for themselves by this
measure, that the Brewery Combine
fear and dred and fight it, They fight
it with force-with cleverness and
guile. But to any thinking man the
real reason they oppose it is because
they can not control it-nor throttle it
nor buy it.
In the face of this we dare say that
many honest, we'll purposed men will
vote the prohibition ticket. 1t is a
vote thrown away. The prohibition
party can not win in this state and
few, If any, of the prohibitionists think
so. If the prohibitionists wish to Sc
cure to the people of this state bet
ter condition of affairs. they ought to
vote the republican ticket.
All the heavy artillery, the gatling
guns of the brewery people is brought
to bear against the republican ticket.
because it has espoused the cause of
common decency and represents the
will of the people. Can the prohibit
zionist afford to stay out in what is
bound to be close election? Unless
they want to aid the Brewery inter
ests, indirectly, they must and should
support the entire republican ticket
Whatever may be the guise of the at
tack on a republican candidate this
year,-somewhere, far away, the
strings which are working that attack
lead straight to the offices of Craw.
ford Fairbanks and Albert Lieber.
A vote for the republican ticket is a
vote for the cause of temperance.
The prohibition vote can turn the
scale for that cause-will it do it?

START HERE.

The suggestion of the Rev. David
Huntington to establish an employ
ment bureau for the unemployed of
New York. has many points of inter-
est. The first question which will arise
VIII behave we or have we not en-
ployment to give these men? There is
some reason to think not. A man who
has the rental Of many houses in this
city said: There are men out of
work-men who have been steady and
faithful tenants of mine for years
some OF these men are behind on their
rent. These men are good men. The
dullness in business pending the presi-
Dental election Is one reason for the
condition"
What need to find employment for
the people in New York City when we
have as good or even better men
here. men who have patronized our
merchants, men who ordinarily have
employment in our midst. Is that
fair deal? Charity begins at home or
should at any rate. Though we would
not class employment as charity, we do
think an employment bureau such as
Mr.. Huntington suggests would better
concern itself with the men who are
already here-then il the supply gives
out, that is the time to import men
from the great cities.
Many of the unemployed in the great
cities, especially in New York, are
men who are totally united both by
physique, training and inclination for
farm work and the very fact that some
OF them may be. as Mr.. Huntington
says, experienced gardeners trained
in the old country" is not convincing.
If Mr.. Huntington will stop to consider
he will recognize the justice of the
statement we advance when we say
that farming is on the extensive plan
hAre-which necessitates q knowl.
