Gen'1 Traffic Muagn Be Sure To ask for Ayer'i Sarsaparilla, if you •re in need of a Blood-purifier—tlio only certain and reliable remedy for pimples, lilotclics, and all other erup tions of the skin. As an alterative, Ayer's Sarsaparilla, after a trial ot nearly halt a century, la universally conceded to tie the best ever discovered. It is agreeable to the taste, and, being highly concentrated, only aiaall doses are needed. An old lady of eighty, Mrs. Mary C. Ames, of Itockport, Me., after fortv vears of suffering from a humor in tlie'lilood, manifesting itself in Erysipelas and oth er distressing eruptions on the skin, at Lcandcr S.

CHOP PROSPECTS. Are the crops injured .' lias been the anxious question of the week. So far as the present appearance of the grain is concerned it is still uninjured, though the threshing machine may tell a different tale, and the elevators. In spots the frost killed all tender gar I den stuff and scorched potatoes pretty badly and iec funned in very thin sheets. In other places only slight effects could be seen in gardens ami no ice was funned. As a whole we gel the opinion of many tanners that the early wheat is all right, but that late wheat will show the cifccts of frost. Harvesting is going on iu some neighborhoods, but will not be in full blast untill next week. The Pembina river country seems to be iu the lead this year and is even ahead of the .southern portion of the country. It is a general opinion that very late wheat has but little show. Various opinions are heard about the general results. Some good judges place the yield from to no per cent, of last year, whilo others make it better. The crop does not run as even as last year, and while most of the lields look as well as one could ask, occasionally a very poor Odd just heading out is seen, which, of course, will reduce the average. AVe think that while the average per acre throughout the county will be slightly reduccd, the increased acreage will bring up a greater total than last year. This, with the probable increased price, will give us an era of increased prosperity, which is a very pleasant tiling to contemplate. 118 NEWSPAPER PERSONALITIES. .Kvery now and then certain parties arc heard to say that the more a news paper abuses a man the. more people think of him, und tlio best way to clect a political opponent is to attack his personal character. On the other hand, it is said that anything is fair in war and polities, and that mud is fail to use and as deadly in eiTect as are bullets. Usually in a question of this kind the truth lies between. The abuse that linds its weapons in an epithetic deluge of Billingsgate also finds the weapon used to have a strong reac tion. And while readers will some times look curiously 011 the talent dis played iu the invention of abusive adjectives and peculiar epithets be twecn a couple of country editors, yet the result on their minds is similar to that produced by a prize fight between brutes of men or of bull dogs. Hut the question conies to every editor and to every politician, first, how far am I justified in using an op penent's frailties and faults iu defeat' iug iiis influence and plans for prefer ment-, and, secoud, how best to use them to the greatest cilcct. Each one answers these questions for himself and according to his own judgment. For ourselves we believe that any candidate for public ofiice, or oilice holder, "ex-ollicio" has 110 "private" character. His life both past and present is, by virtue of his relations to the public, the property of the public and if lie lias any cause for shame lie must be able to show justification or repentance, or it will be counted against liini. and of right ought to be. lie stands iu the same relation to the public as a private employe does to his employer, and 110 one doubts the right of the latter to know what the private character of his clerk or cash ier is or has been. The discussion of private character should be limited by proper language and a due regard for the truth. Mere cpithctic abuse is reactionary, and statements unfound ed upon fact are but blank cartridges and only serve in the end to prove that the paper using them is unre liable. But the politician who can com mand success in the face of news paper warfare of any kind, is rare, and when the public believe that what is charged is the truth, and such truth as would disqualify from a like situa tion in private pursuits, then that politician may as well emigrate to some land where lie i3 not known.

According to the Winnipeg papers it is believed that the bargain between the Northern Pacific and the Manito ba (iovernnirut for the use of the lied ltiver VjiIIey road and the building of the brandies northwest from Winni peg, is oil. While this is not absolute ly positive it is no doubt very prob able, as the terms of the contract so far as made known, have met with an almost universal adverse criticism from the Miiiiitolmus. It is further rumored that the St. l'aul and Mani toba Company have also put iu a bid which is much more favorable than that of the Northern Pacific. The best confirmation of the firnt rumor is that the government are going ahead making arrangements and advertising and letting contracts for the building of the blanches themselves. Tons on tills side of I lie line, so far as we can sec. it will make no material dif ference whether the X. P. goes through to Winnipeg or connects at the boundary.

In speaking of the state of business in the western states and territories lie spoke of the state of affairs at Baker City, Oregon. In that vicinity sheep raising is the chief in dustry of the farmers and the wool clip stands in the same relation to their prosperity as docs the wheat crop to us. Usually the banks hold from SUD.OOU to S200.000 to buy wool at the. proper season. This year the banks did not have a dollar to buy with, and the fanners were compelled to store their wool and wait for a market until the Mills bill was out of the way. This occurred after the election when Oregon gave 7,000 majority for the republicans. If it had occurred before, the majority would have been doubled. There is no doubt of the way the Pacific states will go this fall: they all raise wool, Fortunately wheat cannot be affected ill this way by any tinkering of tariff, if it could, wo would be as badly off for .1 market as the Oregon farmers because the .South don't raise wheat or wool, all the protection they want is 011 lice and sugar, and the Mills bill is fixed to suit the South. COMMUNICATIONS. Correction. Ftiimrof PUINKJ-JII Snt.—In the issue of August 1st of the Pembina County Democrat there ii| peared the following announcement: "At a meeting of the Good Templars, held July 20th, it was resolved that Geo. II. Mcgquicr deliver a temperance lec ture in our town some time in the near future. Wo lieaitily welcome Mr. Meg quier and promise liim a full house should he favor us with a lecture. The temperance people as well as the Lodge need stirring up iu the good work." This lodge not having authorized the publication of the above, but on the con trary having voted it down by a decisive majority at its meeting of July L'Ttli, and ou August old having adopted the fol lowing resolutions: Whereas public announcement lias been made that the Bathgate Lodge No, 171, I.O.G.T, had invited Geo. H. Meg quier to lecture under the auspices of their lodge 011 the subject of temperance, and whereas, such announcement was entirely without authority from the lodge. Now, therefore, be it resolved that public announcement be likewise made, that 110 such invitation has been given and, farther, that 110 one has been given authority to extend such invita tion and tiiat tiiis resolution be furnish ed to the Pembina County Democrat for publication.' And the same having been presented to the editor of the Democrat with a re quest to publish them iu order to place the lodge in a proper light before the public, and ho having positively refused to do so, now, therefore, be it resolved bv the Bathgate Ixxlge of Good democratic campaigners are evidently jto"diiiik wine, nor anything whereby jlH a bad way, is made weak." Now suppose we ask the "common sense" question, Wliat is the writer of the Epistle to the Romans writing about in the 1-ltli chapter, that in wliich the above passage occurs? The answer is, lie !B writing about the duties Christians owe to each other in regard to matters indifferent. Bating animal food and drinking wine are in themselves acts indifferent according to Pan! in this and other chapters quoted by my re viewor. "But," exclaims the Prohibi tionist, "drinking wine is not a matter indiflerent, but a matter positively sin ful." Well, if drinking wine is sinfal, eating meat is also. The test says "It is good not to eat flesh nor drink wine," etc. Any way there is nothing in the text or context to support enforced abstineuce from wine or meat. Tho immortal Charles Hodge, in his comment on this passage, says: "The Rfound on which some of the early Christians thought it incumbent on tliein to abstain from wine was not any general ascetic principle, but because they feared they might be led to use wiue which had been offered to the gods to which they had the same objection as to meat which had beeu presented in sacrifice." But perhaps the Drayton Manicliaeau, who says, "I naturally conclude that it (wine) is an evil thing if the Bible is true," is a more trustworthy authority than this prince of scholars. He also says,' 'Sikes, iu one of his books so highly commended at the Brewers' convention should be held priinarly responsible as lie uses all tlie arguments and references which Bro. MacLean has given in li is letter." He then shouts as ifliia "pitchfork" had gained for hint another victory: "A little learning is a dangerous thing." Mr. Cooper, please don't say anything more about "Sikes"' books. "Sikes" wrote but ouc book on the subject under discussion. 1 am tlie fortunate owner of a copy of this great work. It deals with every text iu tlie Bible that has any bearing on the "evil thing." If you in siston saying "Sikes' two books," or Sikes, iu one of his books," your read ers who know that the Rev. J. K. Sikes wrote only oue book 011 this question will "naturally conclude" you are not the right kind of a man to champion a moral reform. My reviewer applies to me the conclu sion of a great mind. "A little learning is a dangerous thing." This does applv tome. 1 know just enough to convince uie that I know but little of the know able. But rather than not taste the "Pierian Spring" I "drink deep" as my professional duties allow. Let me say. however, with becoming modesty, that I have a "sheep skiu" finished in one of the dead languages. This document certifies, among other things, that the bearer graduated his Alma Mater with "Honors iu Oriental Studies"—'"llouor ibus Litt. Orient." Call ou me when con venient and I will take pleasure iu show ing you tlie document. Be not surprised then if you find that uuearthiug oriental roots affords me greater pleasure than taking refuge in "common sense." Ido not, however, feel above taking advan tage of tlie researches of such represen tative men as Carry, Cobb, Sikes, Crosby, Hovey, Hodge, Goldwin Smith and others. Iudeod, I feel it to be "a dan gerous thing" to trust to "common sense" or to a "little learning" in discussing a question so important as the one now before us. Mr. Cooper, you have compelled 1110 to write iu self-defense. This, however, is no new tiling. Paul, "a good speci men of manhood," found it necessary more than once to do the same. Now, sir, please tell your readers what right you have to be heard on a question whose issue turns ou scholarship 1 Can you read the inspired Scriptures? Or are yon at the mercy of what this one or that other one may say tliey teach Is your "sheep skin" ornamented with the seal of Borne recognized educational in stitution or with its native wool Leav "tUe dead languages aloue" (per force 110 doubt) and betaking himself to "common sense," my reviewer calls the attention of his readers to a number of texts, wine texts if you please. He says, "When I turn to my Bible and find many places where wine is spoken of as a mocker," (see PioxEKit KXCISESS, July aotli,) "I naturally conclude that it is an evil thing if tlie Bible is true." "Then when 1 find such a passage as this, Isa. 05:8, I naturally conclude that there is a differ ence or a contradiction aud when 1 learn that a different word Is used in the Hebrew this idea ie confirmed." It is too bad that we, shallow and simple in mind, arc so easily "confirmed" in error!

My Drayton reviewer, after appealing to Paul—"a good specimen of manhood" —said: "I will ask your permission Mr. Kditor, in my next letter to deal with tlie anti-Biblical argument, and I expect then to get at the root of this matter." Ilow vain and disappointing are many! them! of tho expectations of mortals! He labored two weeks digging, perhaps, in the direction of "the root of this matter," perhaps in some other direction, aud finally came before tlie intelligent public uot with a "root" but with a specimen of his owu "common sense"—a thing con venient enough for an ignorant man to fall back upon. But intelligent people (alas! all arc not intelligent) will not ac cept Mi. Cooper's "common sense" nor mine. They demand thought intelli gently developed. Having appealed to Paul, to Paul he must go. I shall use his own quotations from the great Apostle. 1, "if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat 110 flesh while Ihe world sfaudetli, lest" etc., etc. What "ficsh" can have to do with tlie one or the more than one wine theory 1 do coufcss 1 have not •'common sense" enough to under stand. Again, that voluntary abstinence from animal food on the part of even "a good specimen of manhood" for the pur pose of persuading (moral suasion) otlieis not quite so "'good" from idolatry should be used as au argninent |br com pulsory abstinence from tlie necessary and religious use of nine seems to mc, to say the least, not "common sense." A good "common sense" rulo for under standing a writing is to ask oneself tlie question, W'iiut is the writer writiug about?" 1 think that even my Drayton reviewer Would have refrained from em ploying the passage quoted as an argu ment for enforced abstinence and the employment of the dctcctive "in de veloping a Christian character" if lie had pawed a moment to ask anil answer the above question. it offended, or etymology," editors of other papers of the county for fuerst, "one might take the noun yayin publication. JOHN Misno, to mean a pressed or trodden tliiug, if such were not too Keneral," etc. But this pressed or trodden thing is a "mocker." So was the holy Elijah when deceivers, intoxicated but not with wine, cried out, "O, Baal, hear us." The word for "strong drink" in the same passage is shekar, of which tlie root is shakar to drink one's fill, to drink to satisfaction, to drink abundantly, to drink deeply. It is too bad that this shekar is so desir able a thing that some people do not know when they have enough of it 1 Our best friends "rage," that is, make us 'rage" when we do not know how to use What are we to do 111 such a case .Not to put our friouds out of the way, but to learn how to use them, in tlie secoud passage to which he calls the attention of tlie reader wine is mention, ed three times—twice as yayin (wine) aud once as mimsak (mixed wine). Tlie root of mimsak is masak which, accord ing to Fuerst, means to mix wine, especially to mix it with spices to make it more firry. Now this mixed, spiced, fiery thing may, appor}iug to the "cou): mon sense" of a Prohibitionist, be an "evil thing," but in Cant. 7:2 (lleb. 3 ver.) it is spoken of favorably and figur atively. "Mixed wine" (mimsak) is 110 more an "evil thing" than quails, but it, like them, may become troublesome to-a people Godjepa and giyeq to appetite, Isa. G5 ll. The third passage he refers to is Isa. 05:8, where the word for wine is tirosh (uew wiue). New wines, like new preachers, are often sought after simply because they arc new. But liow often arc those seekers for novelty "taken iu!" Tirosh (uew wine, "a blessing,") hits for its "root" yarash, to seize, to snatch for oneself, to tgke possession of, to conquer. What a blessed conqueror is tirosli, new wine! What does it tako jtosscssion of What does it conquer? Aus. The brain of him or her that uses it to excess. Hence tirosh, new wine, is not aufer mented wiue. His fourth reference is to Gen- 40:11, tlie dream of Pharaoh's ser vant, from which he spcnis to infer that the old heathen king of Egypt was if better Christian than Abraham This old gluttou, etc., was so good that he Would not taste even grape juice that was allowed to remain in a yessel more than a few minutes. The grapes must be pressed info a cup and this cup hand ed immediately to the heathen king, Lauge, ou thia pueage, nays, "The peo- pie drank wine unrestrained tlie MnP, because they were priests, only so much was allowed by tlie sacred booka but from tlie time of Psammetlcus even this restriction was abolished. The old monuments show great vatiety of wine utenails, wine presses at work, topers tired of drlnkinir, even intoxicated wo njen." Anavim (grapes) properly means round berries of any kind—Fuerst. If the modem Diana worshipers are ao joined to their idol that the foregoing exhibition and explanations of the "root of this matter" will fail to "break tlioir bands asunder" I let theni alone. MY reviewer says: "As to the argu ment that Solomon was engaged in tlie liquor traffic, he was unfortunately com promised in other directions which make him a poor example." The above sliowa tlie tendency of tho religio politico hy brid, Prohibition, upon the mindsofmen. It ignores the word of God, and men whom God honored. Solomon, the prince of philosophers, of poets and of preachera, especially favored of God by tlie gift of wisdom and knowfcdgc, "a poor example" for us of the Nineteenth Century. Solomon a poor example for tho Drayton circuit rider to profit bv! He expects to gain tlie sympathy of the women by the following perversion: "It is unkind of Bro. MacLean to refer tho women of to-day to Solomon's harem and his aeven hundred wives aud three hundred concubiues for examples of Christian conduct." I reproduce the sentence that called forth tho nboye from my pure-minded reviewer: "Ask Solomon if tlie women of his country organised themselves into a society to agitato^and legislate against tho manu facture of wiue, and he will tell you that the ladies of his day and nation were not sucli fools as to do that sort of thing." (See Drayton Echo, June 1st.) Header, examine tho above two extracts, my statement and ltev. Cooper's paraphrase of it, and I think you will say with me that he should be serving his time iu a reform school or penitentiary. 1 might perhaps, have used the word "unwise" for "fools" as a nicer word, but the meaniug would remain the same. Last fall I went round witli an anti Mormon petition. Kvery one I called upon, but one man, signed this petition to lessen the number of "wives" and "coucubines." This man said, "Tlie Mormons are uot so bad as thsy are re presented." Need 1 say that he is a red hot Prohibitionist! Is it not quite evi dent that, it is not Mr. Cooper's aim to advance temperance, but to vilify a man who lias not said one word aguinst tem perance? That a reform, having "God, home and countrv" for slogau, which must be supported by such immorality as Mr. C. is guilty ot I If Solomon must be shelved as "a poor example" for a puro souled Prohibitionist what objec tion can be niado against Hezekiah? lie, too, as I showed, was "engaged in tlie liquor traffic." How many "wives" aud "concubines" did he have to make him "a poor example I mentioned these two men of God as "engaged in the liquor traffic" not because tliey were the only ones iu Israel who encouraged and developed "commerce iu wine aud other strong drinks," but because Hesse kiali, being a representative of piety, would not encourage an impiouB trade, and Solomon, being a representative in wisdom, (wisdom of God, I Kings 3:12) would not encourage au unwise or a ruinous national policy. My pure-minded reviewer innocently exclaims, "What flic man can mean by making such efforts to show that God's word encourages the use of intoxicating liquors I cauuot divine." Of course the pure soul that would degrade a nation into a harem and ladies into concubiues to prove that Prohibition iB a good and, therefore, a dcsirablo thing "cannot di vine What bus he to do with divin ity Iu liis last letter oi the scries there is nothing to note but that he "came down a peg." 1 have now answered him lest he should "be wise iu his own conceit," Prov. 26:5. But in the future I will not notice him lest I "be like unto him," Prov. 20:4. 1 shall next week show (D.V.) that I am not "one man" against the world, "IJnus Athanasius contra totem orbem," and that there is more excellent way."
