Of

It ever (ha lot of those who advo
cate any kind of reform to incur (he
ill will of thoee who make the reform
necessary, mod also—to open jOte
eold indifference, if not disdain, of
those who place themselves on the
comfortable plains of nnutral ground.
Many haye pitched their tents 011 this
wide domain, supposing, doubtless,
thnt its peace and quiet will remain
undisturbed to the end of time. This
is notably so as' regards the temper
ance cause.
Everywhere the crying need of this
great reform is acknowledged, Many
drinkers, even deplore the evil6 of in
temperance and will vote to abolish
it, whereas thousands of the indiffer
ent, neutral class, do not Utf a finger
much less a slip of paper to aid id iw
overthrow. Butatimeis surely coming
when the pleasant comfort of the neu
tral dwellers must be disturbed.
When a sharp conflict is on there is no
place for neutral grounds the divid
ing line is drawn through its center
lrii.ving no ground between on which
to stand.
The "handwriting on the wall" is
clear and unmistakable on this great
moral aud economic issue in poli
tics _ta.. today. Handwriting as un
mistakable as that which appeared
on the palace wall at the feast of
Bi'.leliazzar, though it appears iu the
twentieth century in newspaper head
lines.
''Liquor men want Power! ^Meeliug
for purpose of Forming Political Or
aciz-ttiou, witl be the largest of the
hiuil ever held." This appears in a
hue daily calling attention to the an
nul) ncetneut of a meeting to take place
at Pittsburg on June 6th, for the pur
pose of forming a political organiza
tion composed of the ''allied brandies
of the liquor industry."
Til general manager ot the Distill
ing Company of American says: At
the Pittsburg meeting. the national
wholesale liquor dealers' association,
The National Distiller's Association,
The Iijiailer's Association, The Na
tional Assbciation of Brewers, aud
any number of kindred organizations
will be united under a common head.
Officers will be elected and an or
ganization will be kept intact after
the methods of the big political
parties.".
In short, it is tlie liquor power in
the open It not longer seeks cover,
but boldly declares its purposes and
eoi.centrat.es its power against its op
ponents. Heretofore it tias beeu con
tent to weiId its power through other
political parties. Now it will do so
through its own organization. It has
long been a concealed, though recog
nized iotiueuise in public affairs
whereas now, it declares itsfelf a dis
tinct and positive factor in politics,
and iu terms so plain that it does not
require the understanding of a temper
ance crank alone to compreheud their
true import.
Will our nation heed this declaim
tioq of war, or is too liitu to heed the
warning, and must it now lead to a
life aud death struggle between this
^reat beast of prey and the higher
powers of civilization. it will be no
puny measuring of strength when it
comes to that. The adversary is one
of giant strength. J'liis powei* with
its 2200,000 saloons. Its $1,200,000,000
ui capital in.a its boasted control of
3.000,000 voles. The power that is
ever the cruele-ot euemy of the home
and all that is highest and best in
society and public life. Tne power in
whose devastating "industry" Uncle
Sam—alas, is an share holder. The
power whose god, alone, is money,
and who knows its seductive power
over men. Verily, this will be a con
flict demanding patriots worthy the
name. Patriots willing to sacrifice all
that life means to save their country
from the greed and avarice and ruiu
of this satanic internal foe.
America draws her sword in defence
of moral principles, she has ever
shown herself a champion of the right,
a defender of the oppressed. Her
struggles have been founded upon the
eternal principles of Liberty, Unity
and Humauity.
The question of human elavery
which she so effectually settled, atuks
into well nigh microscopic pro
portions besides the one iuvolved in
the supremacy of alcohol. That ene
was sectional though national iu its
effect. This one is not confined to
sections, but is national and world
wide, and is the immediate cause of
more misery, crime and financial loss
than any other agency, not execepting
wars, famines aud plagues.
The new Liquor Party will duct its
aampaign upon the following declara
tion of principles: '"We will not al
low past affiliations to govern us, we
wiltaupport only men who are friend
ly to our interests." What tfhall be
the answer of America's patriots to
this bold challenge? What will the'
old political parties do with it? Will
they assert their moral supremacy,
which they can if they will, or will
they bow to the mandates of .this
power And coutinue to bid Jor its.
patronage and use it. as political
capital? Through the ballot box this
couutry may declare her freedom this
power or she may still perpetuate its
de dly peril. Which shall it be?
-Voters you shall say.
