• 1.00 A YEAR. IN ADVANCE.
Friday, May 15, 1801.
The Liquor Licenses and the Sign
ers and the Lesson They Teacn. ,
The liat of licenses taken oat on May first I
for the present year and the names of the i
endorsers, published on our fourth page 1
invite serious consideration. The list ef 1
signers is not made up of hummers and
scalawag, of no-account people. To be sure
there is a fare sprinkling of scurvy fellows
among the signers, but there are also a very
large number of those who are placed in
the first class, by general consent of our 1
citizens; business men, men of integrity and I
moral standing, and we believe church
members. Ten years ago many of these 1
men could not have been induced to place 1
their names on a whiskey application. Why 1
this apparent change? The change is not 1
leal bat apparent. There are several rea- 1
sons that can be given. And among them j
is the disposition which crops out when 1
temptation is placed before the average j
human biped, to fall in with the steal when f
started and get a share of the swag. But (
the worst feature which is brought to the ,
surface by this list decorated with the names <
of respectable men, of business men, of ,
moral men (the way the world goes) and of \
religious men (?) is the utter demoralization ,
of the “ temperance cause.” This decadence <
has been steady since the more earnest and j
anxious temperance workers determined i
to form a separate political party, and on t
this one moral issue to disrupt and finally (
vanquish the two old parties. The concep- |
tion was brilliant, daring, cbivalric, and so |
was the “ Charge of the Light Brigade,” the i
noble 6ix hundred who charged into the
“ gates of hell, 1 ’ Tennyson tells us in mov
ing tropes. But that charge was a waste of
effort; and so has been the separate and dis- ,
tinct political party which was christened j
the Prohibition party. The principles of i
that party were high and pure; its efforts i
heroic, and it should have been crowned I
with victory; and so should Poland and t
many a noble cause that has gone down in t
night and storm and perished forever, but t
the principles they strove to establish lived I
on to appear on future fields with mote t
auspicious supports and confronted by less
powerful opposition.
People are always ready and willing to t
shirk responsibilities, and when the temper
perance leaders—the most aggressive part i
of them—formed a distinct political party, <
the easy-going temperance man said, “Well, i
the new party will take care of the cause. I ’
am no longer under a moral obligation to i
keep up the " moral suasion contest,” and i
efforts on that line relaxed. These moral I
suasion battles had about accomplished all |
they could in the condition the temperance 1
forces found themselves. An advance was 1
demanded, was imperative and that advance 1
was determined upon in a distinct political
party. The temperance army was drwn up
in battle array in the open field, and volun
teers called upon to fill up its regiments
and give fighting strength to its thin battle I
line, but no amount of exhortation and '
appeals to every noble sentiment could in- 1
duce the voters in any considerable numbers 1
to leave their old party and take service
under the new. The saloon saw its oppor- 1
tunity. It immediately organiced through* '
out the whole country. Its treasury was '
filled to overflowing with money, and over
tures were at once made to the old parties.
If they would furnish the voters to beat this
new party vihich had organized to destroy 1
the liquor traffic the saloon would furnish 1
the money to carry on the war. The offer !
was accepted with avidity. The old party 1
newspapers opened their batteries on the J
new party ; the political machinery of the '
old parties was put in operation against the j
new party and it was assailed in front, in I
flank and from the rear. The new party |
was a shining mark in the open plain and
without a reserve. It was beaten by these
allied powers in every contest. Prohibitory
amendments were sought by the new, “the ,
third party,” in which to try its strength, (
and the long lines and heavy battallions of (
the allied powers crushed them with over- ,
whelming defeat. The saloon became more |
arrogant as its fear of the Prohibition party |
lessened, and it began to demand more *
privileges from the old parties, and from i
being a suppliant for their help, it speedily i
became their master by the power of its '
money. And now they both stand as sup- I
pliants, crouching before it and asking, I
“ What would you that we should do? ” :
The Prohibition party is a dead failure, i
we hoped for good results, but feared its
ability to execute the task it undertook.
The saloon at the rate it is driving the old 1
parties will soon cover the whole land
again. The temperance forces must organ*
lze outside of parties and withdraw from <
the field political candidates exclusively of 1
its own selecting. The whiskey associations i
have shown bow victory can be organized
and the old parties brought to their knees. !
The Farmers’ Alliance and other labor or
graniza lions have demonstrated that a new
organization without candidates can wield
vastly greater political power and influence
than es a separate and distinct political !
party with all the costly maebiney that a
party is obliged to keep up. These organ
izations are all political but they are uot
diatiuct political parties. Temperance or
ganizations must become one compact body
but avoid the pitfalls of a distinct, isolated !
party. They can secure all the Prohibition
party promised for the cause by co-operat- 1
ing with the labor organizations which are
fighting against protected monopoly. Tbe
saloon is upheld by one of the worst gov
ernment protected monopolies in tbe coun
try, which is the Internal Revenue
protection of whiskey and beer. The gov
ernment expends upwards of 17,000,000 on '
the protection of whiskey during tbe three
years it has it under its charge, and this <
protection create* a powerful monopoly o* | j
millionaire brewers and distillers. While
this monopoly stands it is useless to fight
■he saloon with tbe hope of its entire
overthrow. Will the cooler heads of the
temperance classes take the cause ont of the
hands of the political hot heads who have
had entire control of it for ten years, and
reorganize the fragments that are scattered
through the country, carrying on a hopeless
guerilla war against the well organized and
equipped saloon, which has hired both the
old parties as the Hessians were hired by
King George to fight bis battles against the
Colonies of America? Without votes the
prohibition party oan accomplish nothing.
That it cannot gel votes has been abundantly
demonstrated. There is not a single sign
can be discovered anywhere on the political
horizon indicating the hope, even, of
recruits to the party. When a mistake has
been made it it wisdom to acknowledge it
and change the tactics.
~ I
Silvre tne World’s Money.
Senator Stewart of Colorado pub
lishes an able article in tbe Wash
ington Post on silver money from 1
which we make tbe following sen- 1
tentious and forcible extract. 1
Silver has been used as money ,
much longer than gold- It i% now
exclusively used for that purpose by
at least three-fourths of the people of
the world. It has the same in
destructible qualities as gold. It is '
more convenient for monetary uses,
and, besides, it is tbe money of tbe .
people. Neither tbe people of Europe
nor America were consulted when 1
silver was demonetized- Tbe gov- i
ernmental action which rejected the i
white metal as money in the United j
States and Europe was secured by ,
strategy or fraud. The people of
this country now demand the uncon- 1
ditional restoration of silver. Free ■
coinage of silver may uot accomplish
all that is desired. It may not fur
nish sufficient money, but it will be 1
a step in advance, and if tbe mines
continue productive it may accom- <
pliSh all that will be needed in sup- i
plying a circulating medium for an ,
indefinite time.
_______________ i
Free Speech (Hamburg, la) says:
With tbe farmers of the country
united to purify government, from 1
president down to county, we may l
rely upon it being done. They wilt
make some mistakes, but that is to ,
be expected; everybody that does
aDjthing makes mistkes, but they
are the ones that get there. They *
are already making the cold chills i
ran up the backs of the boodlers, ,
and tbe work is only begun.
Industrial Union (Kokomo, Ind.) ■
says;
There is a wonderful undercurrent
of thought in this country. People 1
are thinking, silently thinking, and
it is no patent lever business either, i
Partisanship is rapidly disappearing
and men are learning that party was
made for them and not they for the
party- Common sense is taking tbe i
place of blind zeal, whoops and hur
rahs. Democrats and Republicans
are locking hands to battle in one
common cause. A reform must come.
Pioneer Exponent (Comanche.
Tex.) says: |
Tbe Hon. R. Q. Kills may harp on
tbe tariff question as much as he 1
wishes, but tbe masses of the people
are more concerned at present about '
the scarcity of money; the starvation
wages of the people, and their almost
certain servitude unless there is a 1
change in the men who form our 1
State and national laws.
Colorado (Pueblo) Workman says:
It is said by tbe New York World
that there are 150,001) people In that
city who go to sleep in their wretch
ed quarters at night without know
ing where their next day’s food is to
come from. There are also hundreds
of wealthy men in that same city
who are unable under oath to say
how many millions they possess!
The end is not far away when such
things can’t be.
The Independent (Ord, Neb.) says:
If the workingmen depend upon
newspapers, who are tbe servants of
diverse interests, to advocate their
cause and give publicity to their <
doings, they msy expect them to fail l
them just when their necessities in <
that direction are the greatest. The i
old adage, “if you want anything '
done do ityoursell,'’ should be borne i
in miud. The labor organs, those <
who know no other duty than to bat- i
tie for and advance the cause of or- ,
ganized labor, should receive the full ■
and continuous support of those ,
interests occupy their columns.
In tbe Grand Ronde (Oreg.)
Chronicle B. W. Huffman says:
Tbe operation of oar government I
has become so reduced to the wishes i
of a select few, that it is bordering i
on oppression. Tbe money king is ,
growing rioher day by day, and the
Lazarus of the plow and reaper ia (
growing more hungry. The wish and
need of the farmer is not regarded
by the average legislator to-day, but j
tbe capitalist and corporation, tbe .
magnate and monopolist, all these '
receive attention and protection from
the government in many ways, * 1
There was a law passed by tbe last
legislature imposing a fine of SSO on
merchants for giving prizes with
packages of coffee and other goods. ,

News From Color*.
For The Midland Joubnal.
The funeral of Clara B. Thomas
was largely attended on Wednesday
6th, by friends and relatives of
deceased. Annie Reynolds read an
apDropriate chapter from tbe new
testament and spoke at some length,
she was followed by Elim Kirk who
offered prayer and made a few
remarks. The pall bearers were
Frank Foster, Frank Carry, Samuel
T. Coale, Arthur Tosh and Frank
Woodrow, Tbe inside of the casket
was strewn with rare and fragrant
Sowers, while on a stand at tbe bead
of the casket was placed a very band
some pillow composed of pure wfeite
carnations and lilies, through tbe
centre in purple immortelles were
wrought tho initials Y. W C. T. U.,
this beautiful floral design was tbe
gift of Colora “Y” of which tbe
deceased was a valued member.
Colora public school also presented
a broken hoop as an appropriate
emblem.
Tbe Colora “Y” held its regular
meeting in tbe Hall at that place on
Thursday evening May 7tb, Mrs, Ara
Fryer, president called tbe meeting
to order and after tbe singing of a
bymn read an appropriate scripture
selection. Mr. W. Hindman led in
prayer after wbich tbe bymn “Bring
ing in the Sheaves” was sung by tbe
"Y”, Miss Emma Woodrow presiding
at tbe organ. Referred questions
were correclty answered. Miss
Frank Thayer read a selection entitl
ed “Bay your own Cherries.” The
“Y M journal was then read by tbe
editors of tbe evening, Mr. Dan Keen
ar.d Miss Sallie A. Reyburn. It was
an excellent number and elicited
much merriment from the audience.
A duet was sung by Misses Dollie St.
Clair and Ella Jenness. The com
mittee on resolutions then submitted
the following,
Resolved, That in the death of
Clara Thomas, the Young Roman’s
Christian Temperance Union of
Colors has lost one of its most valued
members. Seldom is such zeal and
earnestness to be found in one so
young as was exhibited by our dear
young friend. As superintendant of
kindergarten work, she neglected no
known duty, but with modest per
sistence presented tbe claims of tbe
neglected little ones to those able to
help them and with gratifying results.
We join in heartfelt sympathy
with the stricken mother who mourns
in deepest affection the removal by
death of this her only daughter, and
we humbly commend ber to tbe lov
ing care of a kind Heavenly Father.
The resolutions were unanimously
adopted. Miss Jennie McCullough
was elected to fill tbe vacancy caused
ny the desth of Miss Thomas as
superintendant of kindergarten work.
Memorial services in memorr of
their dead friend were celebrated at
young people’s meeting at Mt. Plea
sant Sunday evening 10th iust., led
by Rev- Short.
Lines suggested by tbe death of
Clara Thomas on May 2d, 1891 aged
seventeen.
Swept the gentle springtime breeze,
Among the blossom laden trees.
And their drifting snowy bloom
Filled the air with faint perfume.
Calmly on her flower strewn bier,
In the May day of her life.
In tbe May day of the year;
Free from mortal pain and strife,
Slept a maiden young and fair.
Mother dry the falling tears; *
Look beyond the mists of years
Suffering, sorrow, pain and woe.
There she never more will know.
Has dawned for her an endless day;
Angel’s crown her Queen of May,
From shining heights, lo I reaching down
Have crowned her with a fadeless crown,
An Object Lesson to Farmers.
A bushel of wheat will buy two or
three times as much sugar to-day as it
did a year ago. So will a bushel of
potatoes. A bushel of wheat or a bushel
of potatoes will buy twice as much of
the luxuries of life as it did a year ago.
The producer of wheat and potatoes, ,
the lord of the soil know as a farmer,
who contemplates these results of tbe
new Tariff law is not likely to be fright
ened by the cry of “McKinley prices.’’
The “McKinley prices” suit him to tbe
dotting of the > and tbe crossing of the
t that records them.—New York Press.
The Pros is one of the gold monopoly
papers and uses this kind of rot in tbe
hope of shutting the farmer’s eye. But
tbe farmer wants to kuow how much
mouey the wheat will bffy. And how
much labor it requires to buy a dollar
of mouey, and also if the bushel of
wheat will pay any more debt, or inter
est, or taxes or fees or salary than it
would six months ago, or before tbe
McKinley bill become a law. The ,
monopoly press always dodge these
inquiries, but the farmer is studying
them, nevertheless, and will have bis
answer ready on next eleotion day.

Saunders—Sterrett.
Communicated.
Never were bride and groom blessed with
fairer wedding morn than that which greet
ed Miss Ella J. Saunders aod Mr. William
J. Sterrett on Wednesday last. The cere
mony was performed in the presence of a
large circle of friends, at the residence of
the bride’s mother, Mrs. M. J. Saunders,
Liberty Grove. The guests were received
by Miss Rosa Caldwell and Miss India
Rowland.
Promptly at noon the bridal party entered
the parlor to the wedding march played by
Miss Ada Kirk, and the impressive cere
mony of the O. S. Baptist church was cele
brated by Elder Win. Orafton-
Tbe bride wore an exquisite toilet of pearl
colored French sublime with embroidered
panel and vest of novelty satio. Her bou
quet was of La France roses. Miss Louise
Saunders, the bride’s sister, and Miss Elma
Saunders, a cousin, ot Washington, D. C.,
acted as bridesmaids. Miss Louise wore a
dainty costume of cream henrietta with rich
trimmings of brocaded faille. Miss Elma
was dressed in cream mohair with shirred
waist of surah, and lace ruchings at neck
and sleeves. Each carried a pretty bouquet
of pink and white carnations.
The groom was attended by his brother,
Mr. J. M. Sterrelt, of Rising Bun, and Mr.
W. C. Lake, of Cecilton. They wore suits
of black with boutonuiers of carnations.
At the conclusion of the ceremony the
company repaired to the dining room, where
tbe table fairly groaned under the choice
viands that go to make up a bountiful wed
ding breakfast. Cut flowers, aspargus vine
and smiiax made the whole attractive to
the eye as well as the palate.
Later in the afternoon the bride changed
ber wedding dress for a becoming travelling
suit of Davy blue cloth, with hat to match,
and the happy pair left on tiie 4:32 train
for Philadelphia, their future home.
The many beautiful and costly presents
of linen, china, and silverware atttsted the
high regard in which both parties were held.
The groom’s gift to the bride was a hand
some gold watch and chain.
Among the guests were Mr. and Mrs.
James Sterrett. the father and mother of the
groom, Mr. J. M. Sterrett and sister, Mr.
and Mrs. Win. P. Ewing, Mr. Edward
Brickley and family, Miss Edith Whitei

The prohibition party organ, the
New York Voice, has changed its
deportment towards tbe Farmers’
Alliance. It started out to “fight’'
the Alliance, but has suddenly dis
covered the Alliance is going to be a
great aid to the prohibition party
and has grown very sweet. That
astute paper has discovered that tbe
Alliance is an exact counterpart of
the old Know Nothing party, which
proved a great aid to the abolition
party by disintegrating old parties
and then took itself out of the way
in a couple of years. The Alliance
is going to do the same thing and its
members are all going to unite with
the prohibition party. As a detec
tive and exposer of saloon deviltry
the Voice has no equal, and has ren
dcred inestimable benefit to the
temperance movement, but when it
steps out of that line and attempts
to handle other economic questions,
it is tbe most obtuse failure on rec
ord. “Let tbe shoemaker stick to
his last.”
The Baltimore Morning Herald
closes an editorial on the increased
cost of living with the following
paragraph.
•‘The rapid rise in the price of
meats seems to be a part of the war
fare waged all along tbe line against
the consumer. Sugar is manipulated
by a trust, oil by the Standard Oil
Company, flour is largely controlled
by the millers in Minnesota, and now
it begins to appear that competition
is dead in the fresh meat trade, and
that tbe public is to be mulcted in
tbe interests of the Western combines
and the Eastern Butchers’ Unions.
What will the people who pay the
bills have to say about this matter
when the Legislature meets next
Janaary at Annapolis?”
We will undertake the answer. If
the said combines et al are permitted
to choose or dictate who shall com
pose the legislature there will be
nothing even attempted byway of
change.
