"WE EXHORT TOV, SIR.
The language above is from the Drain
Echo bf last week and refers to uf
The whole article breathes a doginati
and dictatorial spirit. It says in sub
stance that a man that does not take
the same view of suppressing the
whiskey traffic as he does, namely Pro
hibition, that he is a purchaseable com
modity at the hands of whiskey men, is
a time server; that, if holding a politi
cal office, he is not bis own on such
questions; and he further intimates that
all persons that do not vote as he would
dictate are those who would "lead
young men to be drunkards, and young
ladies to be drunkards wives." Fur
ther, he impugns motives, and arrogates
to himself the officious positioa of be
coming the monitor of all our conscien
ces, and intelligence. Now young man
permit a little fatherly advice. In the
first place we have done as much for
the temperance causo as yourself, and
we will got to the polls on the 8th day
of November as early as yourself, and
rote as strongly for the amendment as
yourself, as we have always said we
would, and now we would kindly sug-'
geat to your bump of dogmatism, of
which we are quite tired, that any man
or set of men that questions the mo
tives of oth?r men upon the slightest
pretexts, and then proceeds, as you
have done, to stigmatize these same
raens being dishonorable aud dishon
est, simply because they do not agree
with you is highly censurable, and
shows the spirit that would character
ize an inquisition, or that would say
that an honest man wa3 dishonest,
when you knew the facts in the case.
The mau capable of attributing false
motives to his brother, and flinging in
sinuating inuendoes, such aswas done
ast week by you, in our humble opin
ion makes rather a poor "exhorlcr."
But then you have said that we were
an "Octopus." Well that "takes the
cake." . We confess that this was a fi
rial argument. "The last resort" in
rhetoric is ridicule, and you make faces
at us, and call us hard names, "Devil
fish, Octopus," etc.' O shades of the
i Drain State Normal school, to cast a
shadosv without a veil upon such jour
nalistic eruditim, honesty of argument,
and love for humanity, as issues from
those classic dells iveahbj1 is a marvel
In order to make a' point, to denounce
men who have been in the long fight for
temperance at every turn in life, shows
a species of arrogance that is wholly
un-American, un-Democratic, and un
Republican. Would you undertake to
say that every man that votes against
the amendment now pending is a ' vile
sinner," (you did say it impliedly how
ever, last week,) and is making "young
men drunkards," and "young ladies
drunkards wivesT' Even the "great
Octopus" of The Review has a better
opinion of you than that If it would
not be invidious, we would "exhort"
you sir,. that when you make your me
dicinal decoctions, leave not a trace o:
alcohol in the tincture, lest you arouse
a sleeping appetite in your patient that
will lead Him again (into a life of de
bauchery. Our opinion is that the
apothecary "mole" that is in thine eye,
is more likely to do harm than the "pro-hibitioy"-fence
rail that is in thy bro.
' therms (Octopus's) eye. No, brother,
the evils of whiskey in this land are
untold, and no one feels it more deeply
than we, but the remedy, "there is the
. rub." We may not make as much noise
as the Drain Echo about this prohibi
tion question but we venture our ex
penditures in dollars and cents in the
last twenty years to carry forward the
great cause of temperance, has been
five to his one. We expect to fight ttie
battle to the end, yet w will concede
that other people has some sense as
well as eurselves. " We did not load for

Is the Corvallis Gazette of last
week 'appears the valedictory of Will
H. Parry who has exhibited much
enterprise in the management of that
journal. Messrs. Craig & Conover are
the new proprietors. The Gazelle
is the oldest newspaper in Benton
county and we wish it as much pros
perity, as any paper conducted in the
interests of the Republican party de-
server.
Telegraph dispatches: 15th David

dency; 17 David B. Hill has cap
tured the deligation and will lje, a can
didate;this kills Cleveland's chances
18th David B, Hill positively says
that he will not be a candidate, but
tbaf he will work for the renomination
of Cleveland. Oh! It is a fine thing
to get the dispatches.
Ve were asked the other day w hy
we would vote for prohibition when we
did not believe it was the best remedy
for intemperance. We answer, simply
ltccause it is the only thing left, an
we prefer a "half loaf to no bread at
alL"
Why did the Drain Echo dodge the
question last week? Everybody could
see that it did.

"I don't care what you say, there is
not the fuss made in the Bible against
a drop of drink, as there is by you Pro-
hibitionhts. The Jews had laws
enough for any nation, but there were
no wholesale ones against lutoxicants
of all kinds." So spoke my ingenious I in
young friend, True, but they were
not confident a very good drink even
then, for the lest men were forbidden

i
round the temple service. The Nazar-
ites with their holy vows, and accord-1
ing to the preacher" they were not fit
for princes and those who had to gov- J
em, only good for the pojr and I
wretched to steep their misery in ob-
livion. "Why on earth do you say
est thenl Do you suppose folks I
wereu't as good in those days as now; J
besides I thought the Bible was writ- J
ten for all time. My young friend I
did not ask questions like the loy of I
five just to hear himself talk; he wanted I
them answered and was a capital list- J
nor, so I thought ho would not mind a j
good dose on the subject especially as 1 1
knew that life was real aud earnest I
with him, although he had not been in
the way of having much put into it as I
yet as to knowledge and experience. I
So "my dear fellow" said I, "you
know a great part of the Bible is mere

how they lived aud what they said to I
each other, and what Coil camo dowa

know what the great liquor associa-
tions are doing back East! Just paying
the heavy license fees themselves and
engaging their own saloon men to take
their own particular wares only. This
is a trick borrowed from the old coun-
try where you sea perhaps "Barclay &
Perkins' Entire" blazoning in big letters
over the pictured lion over the "public

do about it? Easy of solution doaway
