Editor Messenger:
As the whisky question is being
greatly in this county and
' more or less all over the State, and
is of interest to most of your read
ers, I will give a few of my wan
dering thoughts on that subject.
The cry cf the day is prejiibition,
I prohibition, join the temperance
society and stop so much drink,
j. confusion and soul destruction,
t Now, Mr. Editor, I would have
you thoroughly understand that I
am just as much opposed tc whis
ky as any man. Would notin
’ dulge in drinking it under any cir
cumstances. Still I have never
[ cone before those who claim to he
temperance leaders and swore by
- the eternal heaven that I would
t never drink a dram of any intoxi
cating liquors ; nor do I intend to.
If a mau cannot make a pledge
to himself ar.d his God and keep it,
one thing certain, he will not keep
one m»de before temperance lead
ers, Wheneyer natural laws begin
! to enfoice God’s laws, they become
base and worthless. God lots en
dowed man with a mind by which
he can judge how much of a tiling
is necessary for life and when he
3 goes beyond that, he and Lis God
for it.
God never forces any one to obey
his laws, for forced obedience is not
only worthless, but heathenism
3 Whisky is an element which Gt.d
. hag created, and it is just as impos
; sibie to destroy that element as it
is to mane a river rise and flow
! above its fountain. It is some
thing that God has uven os.’*and
shall we undertake to destroy and
forbid the use ol something lh*t
has bteu given us by the fiat of
’ heaven, and that enters into al
' most every chemical and medical
j compo»ition, something that nei
ther clr miit hor doctor can afford
>o do without »t the pieseut day
and time It is as necessary as the
, food we eat, for it is one of thecum-
Donent paits which makes it up.
- God never creates worthless objects.
> Tiiere are ter. cases of Dyspepsia
J and other diseases, caused by the
too f.equent use of the frying pan,
' and from over eating, to one by
whiskey. A man’s stomach in its
natural state only holds about one
1 quart, yet men go about eating
about a half » gallon at a time, and
then eat between meals, and gorge
themselves with cwld water, which
. sooner or later brings on diabetes
and other diseases. It takes about
. four hours and torty minutes for
eg meat to digest in a good stom
ach. and when the digestive organs
I I become disorde ed of course it takes
i much longer. One meal will not
i he digested until another is crowd-
I <d on top of it. The. fond will not
be properly changed from chime
1 to chile; the depot agents—the
1 glands—will Irom over work be
weakened and fail to do their duty.
The whole system then become#
unhealthy and impaired, for the
! whole vital action depends upon
j the digestive organs, and as soon as
man has become impaired, and
’ kills himself in this way, the phy
sician is ready to say—if he drank
a dram—“he killed himself by
drinking.’’ 11 whisky was the orly
intemperance in this country,
wi at a gb.rioue land we wouhl
| have. Vt hiskey never killed a man
!if onlv moderately used. Neither
! will eating. A man must be his
! own judge in this matter. There
is food before him. an! haknows or 1
may ki ow its 1 fleets if he eats too j
much ol it. Most men have an
opportunity of jumping into the j
'fire and turning themselves to j
death and because acme few mi
j nia- sd i so, is that any reaeon j
that we should pass a law forbid-!
ing LLe use of fire. If a naan has
i not got “got up” enough about him

came “man”, end should pass out
of existence for he is only an agent
for the Devil and his angels. Al
though the temperance men as
they term themselves will tell him
to pay tnem fiftv cents, join the so
ciety and quit drink, and lliev will
make him swear by the tlernul
heavens that he will never drink
another drop of intoxicating li
quors, which ninety-nine tiroes,
limns out of a hundred i 3 a false
hood, as bite ns hell itself. If those
men who pretend to be tempeiance
men, would spend more ol their
time in kind U'k and persuading
them, not by telling them they are
no account, and would never he so
long as they drank the poison stuff,
but tell them kindly that they
have drunk enough, ami instead of
throwing their time and money
away in those worthless temper
ance lodges, build school houses
with tl eir money and send those
who are marching the downward
road to ruin and degradation tc
school,'and educate them, and show
them that they can make somebo
dy, more good would he accom
plished and we would have less
drinking. Let the good playing
ing mothers and Christian people
of this land go to werk, not to ac
complish an impossibility—to vote
out whiskv —hut to build up Sun
day-schools and establish good so
ciety everywhere, and rear their
childreu und*r the admonition of
a Christian people, not to be pro
hibilionists, hut temperate and
Gnristian men and women. The
future power of the world depends
00 the lining generate n and the
only way to ever accomplish tem
pera qce is to educate them and in
still it in their minds. For “as the
twig is bent so is the tree inclin
ed.” And if the tw'gs in tlrs glo
rious land of ours arc propped and
made to grow perfectly straight we
may be assured we will haye a
beautiful and loyelv forest.

I cannot understand what Mr
Gemence means in bis letter of
aeceptatance when ha says that the
people of this country have enjoyed
the highest degree of happiness and
jijkisperity u der the application
Yif’ Dimocriitic principles as em
bodied in our National plat
form.
When, ai d whare, and by whem
have these principles been applied?
He evidently refers to the unpars
leiled prosperity which our people
have enjoyed with'n the last twen
vy yeire under republican rule. I
which according tc Democratic
ideas has been one of tyranny,
opprisdon and tua 1-administration
What great National measure |
looking to the “highest degree of
happiness and prosperity,” haq the
Democratic partv been able to ap
ply? D >es he refer to the elec
toral commission bill the "applica
tion” of which seated Rutherford
B. when Samuel J. Tddeo
■was ilected? Or does he refer to j
the failure of the Democratic pat tv 1
to give “the people of this country” j
the revenue reform promised and
the failure of the Morrison 2D per ;
cent torizor.ta! reduction bill when
the Ute} Democratic House of Rep- J
reseiitutivt-H was organised wiih a
special view If- revenue reform. lie
evidently does not refer to that
more ancient ami time ,honored
principle of Democratic faith, viz :
State Sovereignty, the application
of which gave “the people of this
country’ nullification and secession,
not ‘ happiness and prosperity,'’
I believe it is true that the
people of this country have
enjoyed a very high degree of hap
piness and proHperit.v without an
application of those principles em
bodied iu our National platform
only so far as they have embodied
principles that have been applied
by the Republican party. 1 And
otlie's strouger in the Democratic
faith than myself who do not un
derstand Mr. Clements. It has
been suggested that be refers to the
people of our own State or to local
happiness and prosperity, hot I
cannot attribute such dullness to
our gifted Congressman, I have a
very high regard for M -, Clements
and I take this method to thank
him for t 1 is maidv, trunk admiss
ion tha the -people have enjoyed
the ‘highest degree es happiness
aud prrspsrity,’ under Republi
can rule. (I cannot voders’ar.d
him to mean anything else.) It
is so difl«rent from the tioual
expression of Democratic ofliee
seekers.

Kathie’s Dowry.
‘Only one silk and tha l not new !
Dear me, it is dreadful,' and Mrs
Gray son caught up the pretty bod
ice oi ths garment in question and
gave it a spiteful little shake.
Katbie, hflinmiug rufll:s by the
window, laughed,
‘WhateanTbe cured m>-?t !e

‘Yes there was he'p for it,’ cried
the lady, tossing the lodicn iVnrn
her,‘if you bad taken my advice;

‘At which time, let us hope, my

Her aunt f owned contemptu
ously.
•‘But what are you to do now?’
she went on. 'What do you think
Mrs. Montague, of Oaklamls, will
think of you when she sees your

•Net cne whit less than she
thinks oi me to-day,’ answered
Kathie, stoutly.
Mr». Gi ay son laughed in (corn.
‘You poor little simpleton! Wail
until you know the world vs I
know it and you'll charge your
tone.
1 toll you, Kathie, appearance
is everything. Your bridegroom
himself will feel ashamed of you
when he rees you in the midst of

rooms of Oakland*,’
Katnie winced hut she answered
bravely:
‘I don’t believe Charlie will ev

‘Wait until he sees you in ycur
shabby garments.’
‘Sabby garment*,’ said Kathie,
opening her blight brown eyes. ‘My
garments are not shabby, auntie.
I am quite sure I uever looked
shabby in ray life.’
Mr* Grayson glanced at the
trim, li t'e figure. Ihe
clo*e fitting bus merino was j
fuultleKe; the linen cuff*and collars ]
were as Hpo'l*ss as snow. Kithie i
was right; she never looked shabby.
Her garment* seemed to be jft/t
and pare d of lu-rself, like the glos
sy feathers and black tuft of a ca
nary.
Yet these same garni*,its were ;
made of all s'-rt* of odds end ends,!
for Ka'hie was p'or and [
obliged hi be rigidly i-eori' mical. ’
Bi.t she was puss suit '.f that

i Mrs. Grayson, Kithie’s we'l to

own, who trailed their silks in the
■ dust and tumbled their luces and
plumes end looued devdy all the
while, regarded the little trim fiig
nro by the w il l uv with a half al •
miring, half contemptuous smile.
‘You’re rather!.') pretty girl, Ka

getting yourself up in go >d style.

I enough, but there is so little of it,
Your bridal outfit is shameful, up

and half i dozen sort of wraps. I
didn’t go to James Grayson hare cf

Kathie said roth’ug. She bent
over her raffles, her eyes dhu with
I tears.
‘.Such a simpleton as you’ve been,’
| tier aunt continued, ‘after toiling
and teaching for your money to
turn round and give it away. I
declare, it | uts ms all out of tem

‘What else could I do?" the girt
hurst out passionately. ‘Could 1

‘Assuredly,’ answered the lady
. coldly, ‘ho could hive rented ft

‘I have plenty oT trimmings ; L

Uei aunt threw hack her bead

no time to b.si*. Mr*. Grayed) B't
tleit herself on the iouuge for her
afternoon nap ; the big mnltese cat
purred on the rug; the canary
ohirped lazily in hiseige, and w i fl
out, above the waving linn of the
wooded lidge, the December sunset
glowed.
Kathie began to rip the closely
stitched seams, her p r o'iy, sad face
looking sad and downcast. Aunt
Grayson’s world wise talk hud put
her out of heart.
All liPr life she had been *uch a
brave, sweet little soul. Left an or

grandfather aud made Lis lust days
bright.
‘You’re a dour child, Kathie ; by

lie hud suiil so \ dozen times,
yet after Iph sudden death one mid

of [Cathie found in the will and so
everything went to Duguld, the son
of a second marriage.
K illiie did not complaio, hut it
out her to the heart to think that
grandpa had forgotten In'-. Hhe
tried not to be.ieie it; there was
some n.i-uke.
And when D igeld sold out the

'L’ne wedding 1 day was appointed

fluttering heart to think about
making her purchases, when her

fell in trouble. H> was rather u

Aunt Grayeon told the truth ; sha
would huik shabby in the grand
