qulry, where such u shUe of things
exists, ft certain condemnation.
But every intelligent person
knows that tills hnital nntl unpro
voked uflmult on Supt. Lee is
prompted by personnl spite nnd jiar
tiwih rancor. Ho Is a democrat, ap
pointed by a democratic administra
tion ; and this is his unpardonable
sin; lie has licen advertising for
bids lately, and his patronage went
to his own party organ. This hccijih
to have tilled the Statesman editor
with frenzy, and his ravings the last
week or two betray his uncontrolla
ble mood. Mr. Lee is very hand
somely endorsed by his fellow-countrymen
in Indiana, and the mer-
chant) of this city, with whom he
has dealing, sjieak highly of his per
sonal qualities and business integ
rity. Some ill will may be felt to
ward him by discharged employes,
pcrnous it was incumbent on him to
remove for the good of the service ;
but has a newKtMiper no better use
limn to listen to their spile, and be
foul Its columns with detraction
and scurrility?
We have been prompted to say
this much 111 defense of a useful
man entrusted with a dllllcult and
responsible position, and in reproba
tion of a misuse of the Journalistic
olllce which suboidinatcM the public
interest to personal rancor, and ii
willing to trample on worth and
merit to Indulge in partisan spleen.

Speech delivered by Senator Win
dom at the unvcilingof the statue of
JosluJi Uartlettat Amesbury, Mass.,
July 4th.
Tho discussion of this subject
seems to me quite appropriate to the
occasion. Perhaps the highest hon
or we can Miy to the founders of our
government, is to accept with pro
found gratitude the blessings which,
under Ood, they have transmitted to
us, and to face with manly courage
and patriotic determination what
ever problems remain to be solved.
Among thc-c problems none are so
grave and pressing, and none threat
en consequences so disastrous to all
that Is most sacred In our Institu
tions, as arc involved in the Ameri
can saloon system. In the wide
sweep of its malign influence it
touches, and threatens the very warp
and woof of our social, political and
ludjwtrjnl organism.
How to curtaillmnpiiiully destroy
this evil is the gieaf problem of the
hour. Its solution stands next on
tho world's calendar ofprogre&s. It
has been curled for trial, and cannot
be dismissed or po'-poned. Thosuloon
has boldly cntcled politic, and it
has come to stay until vanquished
or victorious.
lirielly stated, thequestienis: Shall
tho liquor power with its diro and
deadly liiilutnce rule and ruin, or
Ishall it bo utterly destroyed?
Tills malign power has organized
and massed Its mighty forces for the
conflict. IlhasraWcd the black flag,
and proclaimed that ho who will
not swear allegiance to It and there
by beenmo particcps criminis in its
work of destruction and death shall
politically perish. The tinio lias
therefor come when, the issuo must
be met. Political parties can no
longer dodge It if they would. Pri
vate cltleus must tnko sido openly
for or against tho saloon, with its
methods and results. "Neutrality
Is henceforth' Impossible; Indlfler
cnee is henceforth a betrayal of the
trust involved in citizenship."
To maintain this right the Mdoon
power has organiz.ed its vast forces
formed Its political alliances, and
now, conscious of its strength, bid
,i... .irriMiico to law and public sen
timent. To maintain the rkdit to
get money by the wholesale destruc
tion of life, health, and property, It
corrupts the Imllot, lulbes legisla
tures,! tampers with Juries, and seeks
to Intimidate, the weak and coward
ly by arson and assassination.
Not less than .SO,(HM victims go an
nually to the drunkard's grave from
the homes of tills laud
Alas! how true and terrible Is this
Indictment of the saloon. Oh, (lint
from every hilltop and valley, from
mountain and prairie, from city and
hamlet, from lakes to gulf, ami
from seu tosea, there might this day
in ise the united voice of our sixty
millions of people In nuM solemn
declaration of imlcendeiiee of this
cruel king, whom Injuries and usurp
ations threaten the destruction of
our five governieut, As did our di
thers when they lesolved to throw
oil' the alssdute tyranny of a bad
king, so let tisglve certain facts to a
candid world. This monster, sit
ting supremo in the x!ttlcs of this
country, has enacted laws authoriz
ing him to open in all our tow ns and
citic slaughterhouses of men, wom
en, and children, ami of all virtue.
lie has enacted laws H.rmlttlug
htm to transform men Into beasts.
lie Is the direct cNUsc of nlue-tciitlta
oftho woo and sorrows which blight
and curse our jKHiple.
He, hiding his monstrous deform
ity under the forms of law enacted
by his own vassal, over whose
head he cracks the slave-driver's
lash lu halls of legislation, maintain
at our oxR)iiso an army of miscre
ant wh, at the very dHtrs of our
homes and In the shadow of our
sMuctuarius, prosecute the work tt
murder ami death.
He has denivolled UUhw, burdened
with excessive taxation.
sacrificed at tho Burine of the drunk
ard's Moloch.
He sits supreme in the national
congress and makes laws in the
country's capital.
He governs courts of justice and
makes ministers of the law and
legislation his lackeys.
He silences the preacher in his
pulpit and muzzles the editor at his
dek.
He wastes, directly and indirectly,
in his revels unnually more than n
thousand millions of our dollars, and
marshals in his staggering proces
sion to death and hell a half-million
of our people.
He is a cold, heartless, cruel mur
derer and assassin of the deepest
dye.
He counts his victims by millions,
butcheries go on daily and nightly
within sight of the portals of our
homes. We can hear the shrieks
of his victims and the wail of the
bereaved.
The time would fail me to tell the
thousandth part of the evils, multi
plying and destructive, that flow
out of the liquor trufllc, and in all
this vast throng the great evil has
no friend. Hear friends, liavo we
tl-c courage this day to issue, and
thereto ulllx our signatures in the
pronounced handwriting of John
Hancock, our now declaration of
independence ; and Avith a firm reli
ance on Divine Providence pledge
our lives and fortune, and our sacred
honor, that from 'this day hence
forth, no word or act of diirs may
be construed into allegiance to this
felon king? Ho must be driven
from ids placo of power and utterly
orei thrown. Tho coulllct is upon us.
It Is a life-and-death struggle. Oh,
for an uprising of righteous indigna
tion, for an aroused American con
science, for patriotic devotion to
home and country llko that which
gave inspiration and faith to Jonas
Parker and his neighbors when they
reddened the village-green of Lex
ington with their blood on that
glorious morning a century and
more ago, when the old revolution
bin st into magnificent blossoms as
the shot was fired that echoed round
the world; for an enlightened pub
lic opinion, tho mightiest advocate
of any question for tho combined
forces of Christian home, Christian
church, and Christian common
wealth in battle array against the
(rattle in theft ami murder until it
shall bo thundered from every polit-
I1 Htiml, national utut state, "Thou
shalt not, and there shall benolegal
iz.ed saloon where lloats the starry
flag of tho free." Not until then
will the infamous business cease;
not until then will we be delivered
from its siitanic .sorceries. Tempor
izing policies are a failure. Under
nil systems of license regulation or
tax, tho work of ruin and death
goes on.
The prohibition of the liquor traf
fic is tho doinand of the people, and
politicians and statesmen who fail
to heed It are treasuring up wrath
against the day of wrath. Prohibi
tion is in the air.
Nothing can resist the onward
march of a genuine reform. Kverv
hitch movement enters into and lie
conies a part of the Messianic pur
port to set judgment in tho earth.
Agitation on this question is the
duty of tho hour. Let it go from
presH, platform and pulpit, in the
prayer-meet lugs, ami at the ballot
box, until every patriot who loves
ids country, every Christian wlio
loves his God, every philanthropist
who loves hUrace, every father who
loves his child, every son of the re
public will, a marshalled host, up
lift the constitution a-a banner of
reform and under Its folds march to
tho ballot-boxes of the land, and un
der an avelanehe of freemen's ballots
bury beyond resurrection the Amer
ican saloon. Then shall our whole
union Ivconie the citadel of sobriety,
the national name be purged of this
groHt shame, and our glorious
banner,
