Away With High License.

Atourineeiiiig to-day the question,
IS it policy to add a proliibitionclause
to our state coiistitutioii was pre-
sciued and discussed. The following
thoughts were adv.-iiii_-eil by abrothcr.
The (irange voted he should furnisli
it to the Visrrol: for piililicatioii:

We-rtliy Master! Are we not at a
point in reforiiiatory niovenieiits w here
We should stop the sale in ardent
spirits?

Have we not tried the high license
l_\'SlI(:lI1 and found it the monopoly of
aboniinationl \\"e have found. as by
matheniatical denionstration, tli:ii the
result has been to close the small cs-
tablishiiieiits. and open large est.-iblisli-
mcnts, tliereb_v making the selliiig
and drinking more respectable. ’I‘lie
selling places being fitted up with all
the glitter of a fi -class hotel, with
master piece paintings on the walls,
cut glass on silver servers, upholstered
like a Turkish liareiii. unifornied ser-
vants to open the door, uiiif'ornied ser-
vaiits to take your hat and c:iiie,:uljoiii-
ing rooins with luxuriant divans on
Wliieli you can recline, when taken
inysterioiisly ill. after too freely iiii-
bibing.

Do we not see that this high license
strikes at the heart of the best homes
in the l:iiid. that it proposes the fattest
lambs f'or its sacrifice. that it isat war
with the iiiost bezuitiful domestic
circles in Aiiicrical

Dot;-s it not propose. to pave with
honor. to adorn with splendor. and
guard with nionopolistic :i<lv:uitage. a
busiiiess which is niaking the ground
hollow under our be:uitifiil land with
the cataeoiiibs ofslauglifered men and
women.

I think \ve should do away with

then how dare we for one hundred or

which it denies to the great iiia.-ses of
the people. llave we not tried this

out from El.l(ZUIll)ll?-.lll to prohibition to
make the battle pause long enough to

flag of truce. let us shiver it at the
polls, and so shiver it that the frag-

On the one side are God. sobriety and

tinued.

Iieforegoiiig farther in this direc-
tioii I will digress a little and bring
up some points in connection with
law. What is known as the eoninion
law is that clas.<i of law not for the
most part found on the statute I)t)Hl\'~«,
but is the outgrowth of iiiiiiieiiiorial
usage and the decisions of the various
courts handed down from time to
time. Much of it conies down to us
from the Eiiglish, the Xoiaiiaiiis, the
Roinans and other nations so far b:ick
in the scale of time that no man can
tell now where it did originate. This
common law is made by the constitu-
tion of .\Iieliigaii and by the constitu-
tion of' most, if not all, of the states as
much a part of the l:iw of the land as
the st-itiites tlieiiiselves. and governs in
all cases wlierc the statutes do not su-
persede it or overrule it. Now, :i part
Of the coniinon law which is as old as
the owni.-rsliip oflaiid runs to llll.'\‘43ll'4'(5l
that ifa man purchase land :iiid it is

marked out to him on the ground by -,

visilile iiioiiuiiieiits. w liefher
stones, trees or .-ti'eiiiiis. wlu-flier nat-
ural or :ll‘llll(‘l'll,:IlllI he purclia-es \\ ith
reference to those nionuineiits: that
thosenionuiiieiifs and iii:u'ks on the
ground are (lec.isiVe as to the boundary
lines of hisland. i\'o matter if

or the amount of land does not agree
with the desci'iptioii in the deed, the

pureliaser holds to the iii:irkcd lilies‘

and the moiuiinents and no furtlier.
There are many good i'ea.=ioii:~.i f'or this

est known approacli to it for any con-
siderable distaiice on the e.u'tli’s sur-
face is found in the iiiea.-uii'eiiieiits of
base lines by the coast survey, where
lines of several miles long are iiieas-
tired and rcnieasured time and again

cision on iiiatliciiiatically stniight lilies,

disagrceiiig from half an inch to sev-

iiients as these of the coast siirvey and
any uieasures that can lie taken on the
ground. under the ordinary eonditioiis
of land surveyiiig, there is a wide gap
in the degree of acciir.-iev. So, too, in
running lilies. If the iiizigiactic needle
is relied on the iIill'ei'eiice is unavoid-
ably far greater in dirl'ereiit. surveys.
I have many times heard it saitl to the
disp:ii‘ageiiieiit of a surveyor that he
could not run his lines twice alike, or
that no two surveyors were alike. In
sonic c.-ises there is undoubtedly just
t‘.‘tlls0 for sucli criticisni, but in a ma-
jority of cases it has no fouiidatioii in
justice wliatever. '1‘lieseeriticisnis are
usually made against lines run by the
needle. “\Vhy they .-':iy he did not

and that at two o’cloek iii tlioafteriiooii
we start again front the saute point
and run by the «:oiiip‘iss' sf.r:iiglitaci'oss
the sectioii again. It will not run the
same line it did in the iuoiaiiiig. and
the difl'crence between tlieni at the end
of the mile under the ordiiriry coiidi-
tion of the variation of tho neodle on
such a day would be about two feet
less than two rods. lul. tliese clianges
in the direction of the needle are not
alike any two days in i-iiccessioii. and
the surveyor can only guess at what
they will be on any particular day or
time of day. But aside from this
daily change which I ha ve mentioned
there is another cliauge in the direc-
tion of the needle which exti,-iitls over
long periods of time. \Vheu the
townsliip of Battle Creek w as original-
ly siirveycd the records sliow that the
needle pointed soiiietiiiiig over five de-
grees east of true north. Now it does
not point so far east by at lea.stf‘o1irtIe-
;_§l'I3CS. That iiieans tli-at in followiiig
the niagnetic needle north across ii.
section you would go about 22 rods
further west to-day than you would
have done till years a5.;o. When we
f'ui-ther call your attention to the fact
that owing to the coiistructioii of the
coiiipii:-tsc-' there are no two of them in
wliich the needles point in exactly the
smile direction at the isiiiie time and
pI:l.<‘«,‘, ( I have C0lllp8.I'0(l two com-
passes that varied l (le'_§i'ee), I think
_voii will agree with me in .-2.yiiig that
the surveyor should not be too severely
criticised if his lines do not conic out
twice in the same place or if no two
oftheiii are alike. lut if we can not
depend on the iiieasuremeiit, and can
not depend on the coiiipr.-.ss how :ire
we to settle our boundary liircs? Tliis
lii'iiigs me to the point of the whole
discii-sioii: which is iiiisweicd both by
the eoiiinioii law and by the .-statute,
that wciimst be guided by the lilies
iiiarked and the iiioiuiiiieiits planted
on the origiiial survey of the land ac-
cording to which the land is Hold.
This rule applies to village and city
lots as well as to all other landed
property. As I have said before this
is the old common law wliich has pre-
vailed since “the time when the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary.” I liave in 9. general wa_v
shown how the United Staten becanie.
pii:s:sessc(l of the title to the public
domain. Very soon after the first ces-.
sion of land to the general ;_'ovei'iiuienf
which was made b_v New York in I781,
the first act providing for a ptiblie
survey was p:i:sse(l,towliicli I liave
alre:idy alluded. In MUS came the
great Loiiisiana pUI'f‘.l|:l.~‘l: of about
7.37 million of acres.

 

and the old common law is re-eiiactcd
in it in the following \voi'ds:

First, all the corners in:-.rked in the
.'-'tl1'V'c_\'s returned by the Surve_voi‘
(lciicril shall be establi.=il1r-.d as the
proper corners of sections or subdi-
visions ofscctioiis which they were
intended to designate,” etc. Second,

length thereof.

'l‘hu:s the (joiigress of the I,'nited
States at the outset put at rest as far
as possible for them to do so all ques-
tions in regard to the true corners and
the (-,oiii'ses. They well knew the dif’ii-
culties which absolutely prevent simi-
lar iiieasiireiiieiits and the running of
similar lilies, and shut oil’ all contro-
versy as to which was the correct one
by saying once for all: “\Ve have
marked out your coriiers and boundary
lines on the ground as far as it is iiec-
esS:11'_\' for us to do so and given you
the lciigth of those lines. \Ve sell you
the land accordiiigly. There are your
corners and lines; oceiip_v to them and
let that end it.” Now, that survey
which is thus made the standard to
which all other surveys inust be made
to coiiforin was very far f'roin being a.
perfect one. In theory we have the
whole country marked out into a bean-
tif'iil sysstein of squares of a mile each
on a side, with the lines all running
truly north and south or east and west,
with the mile and lialf-iiiile posts all
set in trite lilies‘ and at e.\'aet and regu-
lar distances from eacli other. In
practice. we find the lines running
angling and zigz-tggiiig across the

that the Patroiis have taken a firui
stand against the plaster iiionopoly.
and I hope they will stand firm but
the resolutioiis adopted in so ni:iir_v
(lraiiges.

In Huron County the (}range is
doiiig good Work, and a sliort his-
tory of the (iraiige here may be of
interest to some of _V(.l1l' i'eailei-s.
Two years ago on the 19th of last Feb-
ruary Bro. J. Q. A. Rurringtoii organ-
ized Nortli Burns Grange, the first
Gmiige. in the county, with 22 char-
ter menibers. For over a year North
Buriis Grange toiled on alone, but
here and there they dropped some
seed which took roof. and is now bring-
ing forth good fruit. .Vow we have
seven good Subordinate Graiiges with
a total nienibersliip of about three
hundred, and Bro. Lcifeli, oiii' inde-
fatigable special deputy, is going to
organize another Graiige, with about
30 charter meniber, on \Vediiesday
next. Itro. Jasoii \Voodniau, Lecturer
of the State (,iiI‘:lllg‘(‘.. gave, us a series of
lectures last week which I think will
result in much good. ()ii Tuesday,tlic
first day of Marcli, he spoke in Bad
Axe, our county seat. The Circuit
tfonrt being in session and occupyiiig
the (fourt-lio1ise.we had not a hall
large enough to aceoinuiodate the large
gatliering of fiiriners from the sur-
rounding towiisliips. In our dilemma
weappplied to the Judge to give us
the (fourt-liouse. He kindly con-
sented to adjourn (‘ourt for two lioiirs,
and the f-.1i'iiiei's streamed into the
Court-liouse until there was hardly
staiidiiig-room. “To tell the truth
and sliaiiie the devil.” I felt a little un-
easy when the little Lecturer arose to
address so large an audience in the
preseiice of a Judge and a staff’ of law-
yers. but he had not progressed far in
his i‘-ipceeli when all fears on the part
of‘ his friends were allayed and, al-
though he is small of stature, he gave
us: a lecture that commaiided the at-
tention aiid respect of every one pr s-
ent. I felt proud of him,and I felt
proud ofourorgaiiizafion.as I listened
to him and considered that there are
fo-day liundreds of fariiicrs’ boys
tlirougliout the State who, if they
would join the (}i'ange and take an in-
t.crest in its iiieefiiigs, and cultivate the
1:1.-ulty of acquiring and difl'using
knowledge. might yet be able toaequif,
tlieiiisclvcs before an audience as credit-
ably to tlicni.seIve.s and the cause tliey
represent as Ilro. Woodnian did. Af-

if Bro. Woodnnin ever comes to lluron
County again I can assure him that he
will find some warm friends. The
State Lecturer spoke in three other
places in the county and I am told he
had large and enthusiastic meetings.
Ile labored faithfully while here and
I think we will get ii good return for
his labors. We expect at least two or

Compensation for Prohibition.

There is little need of additi.»nal evi-
dence or (liscussioii to show the neces-
sity of prohibition. All who are
capable of rea;soniiig lriave siiflicie,iit
evidence before them to make u p their
verdict and tliere would be no doubt,
as to the issue if t.lie question could be
submitted to a disinterested jury, but
the great jury, the electors of the state
of Miixliigaii, are not:disiiitei-ested and
the result may be against the best iii-
terest of .=,-'0ciety. The questioii of
coiiipensation to tliose whose lnisiiiess

no one has a right to engage in a busi-

the public welfare. wliieh is no doubt
true in the :il,isti'aet, but when consid-
ered in eoniicctioii with the circum-
istaiices proceeding and snrrouiiding
this trafiic it would hardly be logical
or just t.o cause :1 few to suffer the

program was carried rsuhsfaiifially out.

The welcome address was given by
the Worthy Master of Lapeer Graiige
and responded to by the V/Vortliy

was then read and adopted, for the
(‘rraiiges and all fariiiers who felt so
disposed, to withhold from the pur-

could be procured at a, fair price to

that was undoubtedly their right. and

responsibility of the scttlcnient of this
iiionieiitous question has most sudden-

grand and glorious opportunity they
now have to render their verdict in
April next at the polls.

eivili7.zition of the age.

Fellow countryuieiil \'oters of

The appeal is to you! Will you vote

The Liquor Tax Humbug.

To THE Voriziis or )1 IClIIt.'AN:

So niiieh is said about the revenue
produced by the liquor tax, it is time
to pi'esent some facts eoiit-eriiiiig it.

The liquor tax l:iw \\'a.s p:is.~:t-.i.l in
187.’). its 1i:i.:siige was strongly :idvo-
tratetl b_v the Detroit Liquor Lt-agiie.
In 1876 The Publit: Leader, of I,)t_‘iI'()ii,
organ of the liquor dealers. tlt‘t‘l:II't‘t'I
the liquor trade had set-.ui'ed its adop-
tion.

It is in no sense a. teiiipera.iit-.e meas-
ure, or teinperanee law. .-iiitl the only
merits that can be elaiiiied for it are
its I't?g'1II‘l.illlg‘ t'eatiii-es and the revenue
it pi'odiioe:s.

Does the law i't,igiil:ite'.’ It says
saloons niust close at ten o’t-loek at
night, but eyeryoiie knows they do
not. Tliey are reqiiii'ed to (‘lose on
liolitlsiys. i\'iiiida_vs :iiid elet-tion days
but they tlo not. In Detroit the saloon
keepeins iiiipiideiitly annount-e througli
the iiewsp'iper.s. that they intend to
t-lose on the next t_‘lt‘t'[It)ll day so as to
work :ill day at the polls against the
anieiidiiient; thus virLnall_v adinittiiig
it is their liabitual eustoni to violate
the law on other election days. ’I‘hey
are t'oi'bi.:Iden to still to iiiiiiors, lnit
boys of sixteen can readily obtain
liquor, even on Sunday. The law,
then. does not rt-giil.-ite.

The tax produtues sonit: rt,-veiiiie. but
it’ it is of any value, other taxes ought
to be less than bet'orc. Has it (I(‘,()l'C‘IKt3(I
other taxation? Iietore 1:576 liquor
taxatioii Wili unknown in this state.
In 1875 the state levietl a tax of S521,-
:2:’»2. In 1879, your :-‘tale taxes had
jumped to $1,15::,o96 and in I883, after
eiijoying the “revenue” t'or ten years
. state taxe.-i had iiiereasetl to
$1,655,261, three tiiries:is iiineli as they
were without it. The ruiiisellei-s
boast they pay a million ti year ot' your
taxes, but ofwliat benefit when your
state taxes are still a million dollars ii.
year more than they were in 1575.

Why do taxes ill('.I‘t’.:Il~‘0? Bctfflllse
every session of the leg s attire sint.-e
the tax law was adopted has had to
provide It new state institution for the
care of the wret,-ks of the rum tratfic.
You have built a new prison at Ionia,
a new insane asylum at 'I‘r-averse City,
a reform school at Adrian, an insane
iinyliim at Ionia.—tlie fourth in the
state—a new prison at Marqnette——tlie
third in the state; and the Legislature
is now considering a project for an

 

asylum for idiots. Every tax payer,
canjudge for himself wh-it portion of :

these expenses are caiised by the
liquor trattic. But what portion is

laid his paper on the i paid by the liquor tax iiioiiey?

,tliet-it_V or iiit-orpor:itetl
And the _

Not a cent. Not a (l.()ll:lI' ot the

liquor tax money goes into the Statt;-.

tre-isury.

The etl'et't of the liquor trafiie on
eoliiity Irixes is \Voi'.~'e than on state
ta.\'t-s. ICvery ari't.-.st by a slit-i'itl'. eon-
Siilllltjtil‘1)(illt‘i‘IlI?l.II. is paid for by the
county. .\II the expense of t-riniinal
t::i.ses is borne 'oy theeounty. And the
poor iiCt‘,t)Itl(‘.1t.(‘t)lIIIi}' elnirge.

Ilow ]IIlIt'll of this expt,-ii.se is etiiisetl
by the liquorti':itlit".’ -llitlge li>i‘yoIii'-
.sel\'e.s. lint how niueh is paid by the
liquor tax iiioiiey?

Not a vent. Not adollar ot' the liquor
tax inoney goes Into the (‘t)IlIIiy fund.

Tlie state law g‘i\'es the liquor tax to
village in
which the saloon is situated. It'not in
either. then it goes to the townsliip.
Tlieetieet ofthe law has been to greatly
iiit-re:i.se the iiuniber of ineoi'poi':ite-I
villages. TlI(‘l'(‘, were. in -luiie. 1?‘-"4.

t't-iit-etl out t'roiii the beiietits of the
wliirsky tax. The great t’ai-niiiig eoin-
niunity re eivt-s not a rent.

The village is only :i very .~'Il1:1ll

it is sitiiated. but it gets all the

Ilowtloes it operate? The law in
etI'eet is a. bonus t'roiii the state to
towns, but to secure the bonus it is
iieet-ss:ii'y to have a .<a.lotni, and the

Bro. Abraliaiii Owen, Worthy Mas-

to meet us at Ladora on the 5th.

To show slightly What kind of ma-
terial sonic Patroiis in Iowa are made
of, let me give a short historical nar-
rative of the brother.

Bro. Owen was born in Vermont, in
Oi-,tober,1817; went to Mississippi when
a youth; Worked there five or six
years: came to Ohio, traveling on foot;
from far east in Ohio reaelied Iowa in
1838; went to Iowa City iii1839, when
but few houses were there; obtained
the name of “Old Dad.” The city was
his IIBMI-qlIflI'i.(3l'S until 1849. During
these tcnyears he hunted, trappctl, ex-
plored, traveled, (all on foot) all over
the territory north and west of Iowa

: City, in Iowa, and in parts of Mimic-

l

sota and Dakota.

It is to be hoped that our legislators
will be stiinulatcd to pass it by the fa-

these having open bars; now there is not a
tavern in the state with an open bar. In
I830 every grocery store sold liquor as freely
as molas-es; now not one. In 1832, with a
population of only 450,000, there were 2,000
places where intoxicating liquors were sold.
Their sales amounted to $10,000,000 annu»
ally, or $20 for each inhabitant. Last year
the aggregate sales of too town agencies
was 8100.000, or 15 cents per inhabitant;

514 per inhabrant. -—Ex—Gov. Diiigley.

And with this evidence, Iiot new or
hard to find, The State Ptepiiblit-an
gives the larger part of its editorial
page of the weekly referred to toout-
spokcn oppositioii to the aiiiciidiiieiit.
While we believe Neal I,)ow_is good
aiitliority we do not bring in his evi-
dence when we have such witiiesses as
have been quoted.

The Governor of Kansas can be re-
lied on as likely to know quite as much
about practical prohibition in tliat
State. as the State ltepiililicriii. Gov.
Martiii in his annual inessage deliv-
ere.l Jan. 1:2, 1857, said:

“A great reform has certainly been ac-
complished in Kansas. Intemperaiice is
steadily and surely decreasing. In thousands
of homes, where want and wretclicdness and
siifieriilg were once familiar guests, plenty,
happiness, and conteiitnieiit now abide.
Thousands of wives and children are better
clothed and fed thaii they were when the
saloons absorbed all the earnings of llho0nndS
and fa1h:rs. The marvelous growth of the
State during the past six years has been ac-
companied by an equally marvelous moral
progress, and it can be fairly and truthfully
asserted that in no portion of the civilized
world can a million and a half of people be
f und who are more temperate than are the
people of Kansas.

“That intoxicating liquors are sold as a
beverage anywhere iiithiii the limits of l\an—
sas is not because of faults in our laws touch~
ing this question. Those laws, defective as
they are in some features, are ample eiioiigh
in their direcitioiis, restrictions and penalties
to punish every person who either sells or
lruys liquor for uiilawfiil purposes. There is
not a town, city, or neighborhood in the
State in which an illegal trafiic in liquors
can he carried on for a single week if _the
local officers discharge the duties plainly
enjoined upon them by law with zeal and
fidelity.

“The public sentiment of Kansas is
overwhcliniiigly against the liquor tiziflic.
Thousands of men who, a few years ago, op-
posed prohibition, or doubted whether it is
the best method of dealing with the liquor
’ traffic, have seen and frankly acknowledged
its beneficent results and itspractical success.
The temptations with which the open saloons
allured the youth of the land to disgrace and
destruction; the appetite for liquor, bred and
nurtured within its walls by the treating cusv
tom; the vice, crime, poverty, suffering and
sorrow of which it is always the fruitful
source all these evil results of the open sa-
loon have been abolished in nearly every town
and city in Kansas. There is not an observ-
ing man iii‘tlIe State who does not know that
:1 great rcforin has been accomplished in
I'(2ill“.1>§ by prohibitioii.”

The _-Xttorney (.‘renei'al says, in 8. re-
port made to the Governor of thc
Stzitc:

"The saloon is fast disappearing from the
State practically is gone. l‘i‘ohibition is a
fixed fact, and no longer problcinatical.”

Ilc expicsses his surpriseat the mar-
velous results of the law,aud says that
even in counties where juries, it was
thought, could not be obtained to con-
vict liquor sellers, recent prosccutioiis
have resulted in convictions. In clos-
ing his report he says:

“The prohibitory law is no longer an ex-
periment, but is enforced as carefully and as

G‘:-Il:_w’..A.Il.\TG-IE

‘ct-~sfii‘ly as the lCl\\ agziiiist horse stealing.
iinidcr, rirsoii or other crimes known to uLll'
~t.itu es."

Nor is pi'oli'ibition a f:lll1ll'(l in Iowa.
(lov. Larralwc sziysz

 

"'l here are inany cnuiities where anything
reseinlilieg a salooii (‘riiiiiot be found. It
should be so in lfiiyeite. I lliltl in the cities
and couiities wlieie the pi'oliiliitui'y law is
well enforced, crime and police cxpciiscs fall
off wondt-i'fiilly. Not a saloon is open in
this, the largest city in the State. The
slie-riff of this county told THE‘ a few days since
that he had spoiled his l)ll.~ln€S.< by enforcing
the law. lle also stated that he was glad of
it. .Se.\'ei'al oftlie judges have recently told
me that there was a marked falling off in
ciiininul l-iisiness in their courts in conse
quence of eiiforccm-:nt of the law. 'l'.‘ierc
are .sevei':Il judicial districts \\llllI)i1l a single
open saloon. If our courts and slieritts and
constables would do their duty properly the
saloon would soon be cmiplctely driven out.
We have great reason to be encouraged.
Many ofthe judges elected last fall are more
likely to enforce the law than their prede—
cessors. A few courageous anti determined
men can compel violators of the law to run
from any comniuiiity.”

Now these witiiesses are reliable, or
they are not. It’ iiot..tlieii the Repub-
lican party lias had at the froiit. several
unreliable iiieu for :1 long time. These
men are old-liiiers; men of nsitional
reputatioii, and this half‘ page of petti-

siibiiiitted,-lias, to say the least, a ver'y

no interest but the public good, that
notion can be extinguished in so far as

crtnise ofsalooiis and all that arguinent
that has been proven t‘all:icioiis and
unfotiiideil by the liighcst authority in

presented not only ignored the state-

and the Governors of Maiiie, Kaiisas

a cliiirch had been set on fire by liquor
people. Many people would support
such means of defense.” No wonder
Labadie quietly said, “l{eiit’s an
amircliist if he only knew it.” D.
Bethune Diiflield pettifo_',rged the case
of the city taxpa_vers most bravely
and proved his fealty to his clients’
cause when he said: “Siiice 1876 $24,-
000,000 had been taken from the sti-

troit is not Tm: STATE. nor will it be

EVl(l€l]('t: is tll)llll(l:lllL that proliibition
has rooted the ti‘.-iliic out of the vil-
lages and rural districts of prohibition
states and diminislied the arnount sold

in the cities of those states.

Looking this thing sqiiai'c in the

they proinote the public welfare?

The staiidiiig and cliai‘actci' of the

What will They Do About It?

The V’isi1ori has asked this question
of‘ the people of l\,li<-higaii in reference
to the adoption or rejection of the pro-
hibitory aincudnient. to the Coii.-:titu-
tion of the Statc,aiid what shall the
answer‘ he? Will the people vote to
retain the saloons and perpetuate the
evils of‘ iiiteinpcraiice; or. will they
vote in favor of the aiiiciidiiieiit, and
siippress the now legali7.ed traflic in

subinissioii oftliis question to the peo-

t-oiiseqtieiice as against the great fact.
that the question is so submitted. It
the Legislators declined to take upon
theniselves the rcspoiisibility and con-
seqiieiices of the eiiactnient of a pro-
llll,Ilt0l'_V statute direct and decided to
refer the iriatter to the people, that was
their right and no blame is attaclied.
The responsibility of the settlemciit
of this nioiuentous question has most
suddenly and unexpectedly fzlllell upon
the people and they now have a graiid,

last. and all the time. and whose mis-
sion on earth and chief end lS—.“l\‘(‘dl'tl-
ing to their c:1t.e.elii.sm——to glorify par-
ty and enjoy it forever!

Then the low. the vulgar. the licen-
tious, the mereenary. and the illiterate.
ignorant voters have their headquar-
ters. and are allnost entirely under the
absolute and innnediatc control of sa-
loon keepers in all the large l.own~.' and
cities.

Besides all these l‘orrnidable, hostile
influences that are and will be opposed
to the adoption of the amendment. a re-
tired Judge of the Supreme Court has
volunteered in advance a captions opin-
ion. that .-Ionic ofthe provisions of the
proposed amendment are uncon.~:tit.u-
tional! Well. that will be bad enough
——to have the Constitution itself‘. when
adopted, unconstitutional ! The pres-
ervationof the State. the cause of pub-
lic uiorals; and the general welfare of
the people to be .-‘ct aside. that the (‘on-
stitution may stand without a blemish?

Furthermore. an Episcopal Bi:-imp
of Michigan. has publi:~'lie,<‘l a letter re-
cently,that is directly calculated to in-
fluence and array the laity of his
(Thur:-h against the :«nne.ndmcnt.. for
the alleged reason that alcohol or fer-
mented wines were not excepted in the
bill. for .~«‘:u:i'ari1cntal use.-z. thereby otii-
cially (le<'l:1i‘lll_:.{’ that alcohol or fer-
mented wines are e-sential. and are the
only e,1xl).-‘t.-1m:es that can lawfully be
used to typify the “shctl blood" in the
sacr;unental or me.morial service! The
good Bishop seemed to be grieved as
he wrote this letter. for he intimated
that he favored prohibition: but un-
fortunately, the phmscology of the
amendment in reference to fermented
wines, has undoubtedly turned him
against it. Verily. the scriptures are
fulfilled anew, for "They strain at a
guilt. and swallow a camel.”

Then to till up the measure of the
iniquity of this merely frivolous.
hair-splitting opposition, comes the
Catholic Bishop oi the diocese who. it
is said, has authoritatively declared,
“that. in the event of its pas.~'age, all
good Catholics will disregarrl and defy
the law! That they will suffer mar-
tyrdom. stripes and impri.somncnt—
obeying the uiandates of a ‘higher law’
—and this in the face of the. Bible, the
foundation of their religion. which de-
clares that, ‘The. powers that be on the
earth are ordained of Got .’ ”

Here is rir-lniess certainly. llere is
consistency. llere. is .sanr:titie,d,apo.~1-
tolic lezulersliip. Surely, “The night
is far spent: the day is at hand.”

Citizens ofther-onnnonwcalthl Lov-

F‘riends of humanity! You get. an ink-

content. You war not against ordinary
flesh and blood. but against principali-
ties, the malignant, untiring hosts
of evil, thoroughly organized and

find, by men high in authority. ‘

But, voters ot Michigan. fortunately
for the welfare of society and the State.
you are not all capitalists, bankers,laW-
yers, doctors. clergymen, merchants,
professing Christians, politicians,
judges, or Church Bishops!

Let every man, who has any pride

turn out on election day: get his friends
and nr-ighbur.~io mine and vote tor the

How prohibition prohibits in Maine
—United States authority—What
James G. Blaine says about It.

The revenue returns show that in
fourteen cities and titteen large vil-
lages and sea-sliore resorts in Maine,
with a population of about 90.000,
there are 59:} dealers in liquor. includ-
ing the druggists who pay the U. 
tax. while. in the -L‘/oother towns and
plantations in the State. with a popu-
lation of about 4:39.4)I.)tl, tliere are only
220 dcalers—or one to over '_’..Ulllll1lll'rll)l-
tants. There are :'l.'').''; towns and plan-
tations in Maine. conlprisiug the bulk
of the exclusively farming towns. in
which, according to the U. S. returns,
there is not :1 single open or secret
dram shop.

The fact that the ll. 5. ltevcnuc lie-
port slmws that only 4 cents per in-
habitant \vas collected on the manu-
facture and sale ol liquors in Maine in
18:42, while $31.40 per inhabitant were
collected in the whole Union, affords a.
very striking contrast.

It has already been observed that
prohibition practicsilly abolishes secret
as well as open dram shops in the
rural sections, and confines the traflic
to the cities and larger villages Where
it can hide. This is strikingly shown

.\laine; and in not a single wholly li-
cense State in the North is the number
less than one to 2.30 inhabitants. in
,\'ew York and Ne\\‘ Jersey there is one
dram shop to every IN) inh:ibitants, in
lihmle island one to ‘_’ll!l. in l)elawarc
one to 22.50, and in (,‘alifornia. one to ‘J5.
The average for the whole Union is one
to every :a'Ut} inhabitantrs.

The last internal revenue report
shows that in the t'our northern States:
of Maine, New llampshire, Vermont
and Kansas, in all ol‘ which the pro-
hibitory law is in lorce, the number
of retail liquor dealers (mainly secret
dealers) averaged in 1832 one to every
621) inhabitants; that in the four north-

diana and .Vcln'aska, in which local
prohibition prevailed to sonic extent,
the number of liquor dealers avcragc<l
one to 3:55 inhabitants: and that in the
fourleen other northern States in
which lieen.~<e wholly or nearly wholly
pI'e\':llls. the avei'a_<_-‘e number of liquoI'
dealers‘ is one to every 1210 inhabitants.
ln other words. there are three times
asmany dram shops in the \Vholl_\‘ li-
ct.-use Stair-s:1.~' in the wholly prohibi-
tory .\'tates. It appears also that as
soon as local prohibition is applied to
municipalities or counties here and
there. the number of drinking" places
l)<'gins to decline.

’,l‘al<ing Maine. as a whole, and the
number of :n're.<t.-' for (ll'lllll\'t‘iIll(.‘H.~‘ last
year was only 2,t1:'r_/. or only four ar-
rcsua to every thou.~and of the popula-
tion. jiulging by partial statistics re-
ceived. There is no wholly license
State of the North that .~«'l1o\vr~' less
than twice this number of arrest.s for
«lrunkeuncss, and the average is con-
sidcrably more.

In a letter written nearly one year
ago by Hon. J. (fr. Blaine, that distin-
guished statesman and careful observer
thus summed up the. good results of
prohibition in Maine:

“liiiciiipCi':1ll('.(5 has steadily decreased
in this State, since the tirst enactment
of the prohibitory law, until now it
can be said with truth that there is no
equal innnbcrof people in the Anglo-
Saxon world, among whom so small an
amount ot' intoxicating liquor is con-
.~unned as among the six hundred and
tifty thousand inhabitants of Maine.”

I)m‘1:o1r, Mn:n.. l\larch 21. ’:<7;

I):-:Ak Snt:———ln your issue of Marci:
1.1 noticed an article on Jerseys and
.Ier~'ey liutter. l had wondered why
the "little queen of butter cows" \vas
never noticed in your columns. it‘
your many i ’-aders knew what the
Jer.-ey cow is capable of doing they
would as soon as possible get :md keep
them and no other.

[am quite aware of the fact. that
most farmers think the Jersey too
small to be valuable. It is simply the
money-uiaking ability or earning
power that should decide what breed
is best. One thing is sure: that  the
general purpose cow is an ‘hnpo.ssibili-
ty. If you want a large supply of
milk for the market or clieese factory
get the ilolsteins or Airslurc.-;; if _vou
want beet" get the Shorthorus or Here.-
fords, but if you want cream or butter
then get the Jersey. for as the Live
Stock Journal very truly I-l2l_\'H2

1. Je1'se_v_a make more butter usu-
ally ibr the food they -at than any
other breed.

2. Jt‘l'i4L‘_VH make better butter than
any other breed, better grain, better
flavor.

:5. Jersey milk is the most profit-
able, contains more butter per quart,
cream ri;~'es quicker and butter cornea
quicker than any other breed.

4. Jersey butter brings from 2 to
10' cents per pound more than any
other.

.3. Butter fiirming is more pleasalit
and more profitable than truck, beef,
poultry or pig farming.

(3. For every cent lost on account
oi l1cr small care-a.sx~' there are two cents
gained on occount of her better butter
and larger annual yield. And I would
add, by reason of better price her
(.‘:llVC.~i will bring.

in proofof statement No. 3: In No-
vcmbcrlast lmixed 1 pint of strip-
pings iron] 1n_v four-year-old Jersey
cow, Dora Le Broeq. put it. in a quart
fruit jar and in about Ht} hours from
time of milking shook it four and a
halt‘ minutes when, in common par-
lance, “the butter had eoinc.” My
wife took it from the can. worked it
pi-operl_v,did not salt il.and it weighed
two and one-half ounces, which would
be at rate of one and one-iourth lbs. to
the gallon. A day or two afterwards
I took one pint ot' milk from a milking
(taking it from the pan so as to get
her common milk) put. it through the
same process and it made two ounces,
being at the rate of one lb. to the gal-
lon. That (lay she gave elcvcn quarts
and one pint of milk.

1 intro .~‘e\'o)':ll other cows that will
do as well as this one. Now if any of
your l'(‘.’l(ll‘.l'S have such cows it will be
a very easy matter to see it any of
them will make as «food a showing.

[do 11ot write this for an ad. for I
have no Jerseys for sale, but simply to
let our friends know what is an indis-
putable fact, viz.: that for 8 family
cow, or a butter cow, the Jersey can
not be excelled. Yours Truly,
