IHiMOAVRA TIC filltE.SHO iff
A correspondent of the Piaindealer
referring to a letter of Hon. W. F.
Owens in the Prohibition Star mak-.s
the oft-quoted charge above. Now it
does seeni to nie that one must be
thoroughly blinded by party zeal if lie
does not lecognizo the fact that the
Piohibition part numbers in its ranks
some of the most intelligent, progress
ive and conscientious men of the
country.
Sir. Owens is perfectly ablo to speak
for himself and needs no defense of
initio, but as a prohibitionist I think
such a wholesale charge ought not to
pass unchallenged.
The prohibition party is in the field
and has come to stay. It proposes to
be permanent for it is founde.d on a
principle. When it was organized in
1872 no one thought it. a democratic
move as it was too small to attract the
at tcntion of a hot-headed partisan. In
1876 and 1 880 it was yet too insignifi
cant to merit any abuse from the politi
cians. - In 1881, it had grown to such
proportions es to seriously threaten
the seenrity of tho Republican party.
This was the signal for a fierce on
slaught from the Republican politi
cians.
Threats, bribes aud slander were re
sorted to in order to" remove the omin
ous sign of dc-fwtt. St John although
a good enough Republican to be gov
ernor of Kansas two terms and the
nominee for the third was decried,
villified and abused because he accepted
the nomination (although unsought)
of tho Prohibition party for President,
and exercised the right of any Amer
ican citizen. "Paid for with Demo
cratic money" said the politicians
who were not capable of any higher
conceptions of principle and duty, than
those which usually governed them
selves. Who paid St. John's cam
paign expenses in Kentucky and other
southern states after tho election was
all over? I suppose the Democratic
party was no mote willing to profit by
the course of St John than the Re
publicans would have been to profit by
tho Cutler movement nmniio-st flip.
tariff Democrats, I doubt i some
Republicans are aware that tho Pro
hibition Party had any existence till
St John's time. We heard a Repub
lican not long ago state-confidently
that he saw St John helped into the
cars by four men. When pressed for
proof he admitted that he did not know
him, bnt was told by some one that it
was he. Such is a specimen of . the
political Biancter so common in our
day. A prominent New York Repub
lican paper rehashed an old slander
the week before the election intended
to hurt St. John's interests when it
wao too late to reply.
Now sir, it is just such slander and
abuse that is opening the eyes and
changing the votes of thousands of tern
perance men in the Republican party
all over the land, but temperance men
are not all Republicans. In ten states
the Prohibition vote in 1885 amounted
to more than tin whole St John vote
the year before. In Ohio alone 30,000
votes wera cast f jr Dr. Leonard. The
Republican candidate was elected and
it was admitted that as many Demo
crats as Republicans voted -the Prohi
bition ticket thus giving the lie to the
stale charge that it was run in the in
terests of the Democratic party.
It is wonderful how virtuous 60.ne
of these same Republican papers have
become (notably the Oregonian) since
the Atlanta election. They see in the
Georgia campaign a prospect of divid
ing tho Democratic party and of course
it is the proper t'jing, but in any Re
publican state prohibition is dangerous
and fanatical. We close with a few
words from- the noble senator from
Georgia Ex-Governor Colquitt
"At this hour no living question can
as conceivably melt Georgia and Iowa
into one glowing unit as can and may
this prohibition issue. . If such a uni
fication can be realized, mere party
traditions will become as bagatelles and
the army of reform will advance with
a shout The politician who doea not
see this is blind. The alarms of such
a holy war have seldom sounded among
men.
J ust a little more of politic- in0.
erance, just a little more "0f partv os
tracism, just a Ii'ie more of jofty
sneering at "fanatics," just a few more
tons of party back slander of good men,
just-agittle nioro of whiskey, ring ag
gression, and just forty "rottuds of co
gent facts may send a thrill from Dcs
Moines to Georgia that will inflame the
coples indignation and crystallize pro
hibition policy."
Wonder if that was paid for with
Democratic money! Your for Col
quitt and St John in 1888.

Editor Review: One fact will up-
seta thousand theories. It is quite
easy to speculate and prophecy and
quite as easy to be mistaken. In the
exciting days of 1861 we were confi-
dently told by many oratoi-s: "Let the
slave holders strike the btaw and the
southern women will riso almost with
out an exception in favor of the north
and the freeing of the slaves. For tho
women are jealous of the power their
comely maid servants exertonhusbauds
and brothers."- How they did rise
and favor the north most of our sol
diers well know. A more determine!
nd vindictive enemy no army ever
met than those southern women.
It is but recently wo heard it 'as-'
sorted that if the women of Utah had
the ii;ht to vote they would soon
wipe out polygamy if not Mormoniam
altogether. Then comes a ivnnrt f
three thousand Mormon women hold
ing an indignation mcetinz and de
nouncing any interference with their
religious or social relations. .
Human judgement is fallible and
repeated failures at prophecy have
made us skeptical The latest cxam-
le of unfulfilled prophecy is furnished
by tho result of tho elections ia this
city. The jnth of tho matter is sim
ply thij: Mr. A. was the "Law and
Order" candidate and it was asserted
that the women, armed with their new
power, the ballot, would elect him
triumphantly. Mr. B. was the "Busi
ness man" candidate and .if thev predic
tions of the "Women's rightees" had
any weight he was to be left out in tho
Arctic regions. For did they not tell
us over and over again that, "give the
women the right to vote and "you will
seo how quick they will shut up the
dram shops, cleanse the morals of" soci
ety andrectify things generally." Well,
they didn't rectify very much. Mr.
B. was elected, and proved to be a very
excellent officer, in fact too good for
his constiuents. At tho next election
the "Business man" dropped him and
the ''Law and Order" party' backed by
tho womeu, took bini up as their stand
ard bearer. He would have been
elected if he had had votes enough,
But the bottom fairly fell out of the
wometi'a patty and there was great rs-
joiciDg in the camp of the "Business
men. . Such a waterfall, I mean
Waterloo, seldom, if eyer took dace in
tho Temperance army. The victors
believe that Lee's army would have
been captured if McClellan had pur
sued them after their defeat at Antie-
tam. Acting on this belief the "Busi
ness men" smote their fallen adversa
ries hip and thigh. The council
picked -.op the poorest stock, they
could find to fill the ofSces within their
gift and spa red no effort: to disremem
ber and demoralize the "Law and Or
der" fellows and their feminine coad
jutors. Don't talk to me about
woman suffrage being , the great pan
acea for all our social troubles, the har
binger of the millieniura and the great
exterminator of every infelicity, moral
mental, social and physical; it makes
me tired. W. HI Carpenter.
