THE TEMPEBAFOE ISSUE-
Ideas always out travel actions;
particularly is this so in regard to the
temperance question in the united
States. This is an issue that may be
avoided for a time, but sooner or
later the people will have to lace it
and settle it. This being the case, it
is clearly the duty of the people to
look at' it carefully, patiently and
calmly, before any hasty action is
taken. On the temperance question
the people mav be divided into three
classes, namely, those who oppose
in all forms the manufacture and sale
of all spirituous liquors except tor
medical and scientific purposes;
secondly, those who advocate the
use of intoxicants as a beverage with
a moderate license law ; and thirdly,
those who believe in the indiscrimi
nate use of liquors subject only to the
will of him who drinks.
In this article we wish simply to
present the issue as it is looming up
in various portions of our country,
and to give some ofthe reasons urged,
r to and con, by the respective parties
in tavor ot each position, and what
will be the probable result.
The advocates of prohibition found
their arguments on the broad in
duction that intemperance is the pro
lific soutce of nearly all the crime
and misery in our land, and that the
use of intoxicating drinks is highly
injurious to the individual himself
They claim that their work in banish
ing intemperance is clearly in the in
terest ot humanity. To enforce this
idea tbey have recourse to the prison
and criminal statistics of our country,
all of which is confirmed by the daily
experience of even casual observers.
Then, to stop the drinking habit the
high authority ot the state is to be
invoked. The prohibitionists can
not be ranked with either this po
litical party or with that. Neither
can they be designated as belonging
to any particular locality rather than
to another. Ot those who may
reasonably be classed in an emer
gency with the prohibitionists are the
church members and all others who
believe in keeping the Sabbath as a
dav ot rest, and not of amusement,
and those who have experienced the
hurtful effects of intemperance in
their own families, and the farmers
generally. The strongest opposition
to the measure will be found in the
towns and cities.
The opponents of prohibition hold
the following as true: That man, as
a physical being, needs food and
drink. These he must and will have
at any sacrifice. Since he will drink,
although it may be an evil, let his
drinking be regulated by law, and
let the person who manufactures or
sells pay a revenue to the government
Twelfth. Congressional Bann er. j
Mr. Theo. T- Bolton, Chairman j
of "the County Democratic Central

AH right. As well send the ban
ner to Bates, for she will certainly
poll the largest vote for Morgan.
But then our Opera House will be

tion.)
The Morgan county bank tailed
last week, its President, J. B.Kelsey,
was arrested at Tipton, Mo., under
authority ot a warrant charging him

for the purpose of carrying on this
particular business. Just here there
are differences among those who
driiiK liquors and beer. For in
stance, the Germans generally are
accustomed to drink beer, as the
people of all parts of the country
drink tea and coffee. It is a drink to
them delicious and healthful; but
the average American guzzles it and
becomes a regular toper. Hence,
among the opposition to the pro
hibition movement mav be reason
ably classed the German element on
account of the warfare on beer.
Notwithstanding the efforts of a
portion ot the Catholic clergy to in
culcate total abstinence among the
lay members of the church, perhaps
a majority at least would vote against
it ; while, upon the other hand, all
the protestant churches will use their
influence in favor of it.
Mere politicians, as such, will, as
far as possible, dodge the issue and
vote at last on what they conceive to
be the popular side. As a state or
national question it will figure only
incidentally, but the adherents will
confine their attention chiefly to
members of the legislatures in order
ts have a constitutional amendment
submitted to the people for ratifi
cation or rejection.
At present there is a marshaling
ot forces on both sides foi the con
test. Kansas and Iowa have de
cided the question, and soon it will
have to be decided in Illinois, Wis
consin, Michigan, Indiana, 'Texas,
North Carolina, Alabama and Mis
souri, and in other states it is attract
ing much attention. It is one of the
great social questions of the day.

Terrill failed to put in his appear
ance at the picnic at Lone Oak last
Thursday, to discuss the issues of
the day with representatives from
the other two parties. He wants to
carry the Greenback vote of this
county and does not propose to
hazard his chances by meeting the
champions ot the other parties on

Democratic-Greenback tushion in

Republican party is not slow to
make terms with Greenbackcrs when
it has no other chance to deteat the
Democracy, but that is not thought
to be any occasion for moderating
the term of disapproval, which it
measures out to a Democratic fusion
with the same element. There isn't
a bit of doubt that the Greenbackers
are political buccaneers, whom both
political parties should make com
mon war against. That is a devel
opment of common-sense not to be
looked tor in politics, however, so it
is but natural that the Greenbackers
should go on making terms" with
either party as circumstances give
opportunity, So far as they seek
any genuine and commendable re
forms, they should be more in har
mony with the Democracy than the
Republican party, and that ought
to .-onvir.ee the honest portion ot
the deluded voters who call them
selves Greenbackers, that all the
good aimed at by their party can be
best secured ny voting with the
Democrats. In crreat part the Green
backers and Democrats are making
a common fight, but no fusion
movement can help the success ot
the common cause so much as a
close union under the Democratic
banner. Republican.
