AdvwrtMag RATIO AXB SOCISTY. p^ealted Prohibition Party, are r|§i>w making a vigorous canvass tout this State, under the guise of perance Camp Meetings, and with ired speakers are making a regular campaign and abusing the Re- Party. A baud of these ||Mwntebank«i are now in this county, ind it behooves every true Republican to Sf ?consider well what this movement means. 1 ' >• •Horn it mean that their object is to ad- f !' vance the principles of temperance and morality? No. That is a question that s |b f&rtherest from their minds. Their solo and ocly object is to carry the next legislature of tliis State in the interest ; v, , their employers, the Democratic party, *»d thereby secure a Democratic United States Senator from this great State for ? the next sax years. No unprejudiced who has listened to these traveling • aiouiitebauks can for a moment be de­ rived In the language of a noted ' J minister of the gospel, "their facts are -* fiction, their ideas are idiocies, there de- V: tails are demoniac, their practice phari- - saical, and their purposes political aid the democratic party. The man who iBstens and believes their sayings is mis- ,1|)d and deluded j if he acts upon their i^rajfreas he becomes a foolish fanatic; if he aids their purposes he hinders, obstructs ip~ and prevents all advance of" the tem­ perance reform. If they tell the truth it •V ̂, "te by accident." . In another place in this paper can be Îbundanable article from the Champaign i»', County Hemld, headed "The Duty of : Republicans," which we commend to the •artful perusal of every Republican in f~\, ̂ 'IIcHenry county. > ' The leaders of the so-eailed Prohibition ;' Party gives the lie to their pretentions ̂ ©f morality and reform. Their speakers ; 5 ftre men who left the Republican Party for the parties good, hence their extreme y Venom in that direction. Let no Repub- •50 •4icau be deceived by their insane utter­ ly, imees. We believe with our con temporary ||vV that the Republican Party is composed ||̂ t of ruen who can better be trusted with Vl'f- • IBS5K>iisiuiUty of power, the destinies | im ««& re-public, and hmmmr than any other political organi- gpUf tetksr, n.w existing, the mugwump- ^pfi^jprohibition-dMmocratic camp meeting to j|pt • tin contrary notwithstanding. jlll® - Polygamy. \ |§f^" Hormoniam is not dead vfet by a good - umt. There is coa&d«rab}e truth in the ||§|f£old superstition that a viper, even if f fev * sliced up, has the singular power of , ' irstuiitiiig thp pieces "before the sun goes ;$!#•»/' In spite of rosy-hued views to imi'&ntrary, there seems to be, often­ times, surprising vitality in things evil, , enpeeially if it be a form of evil rooted in jp 1 the baser passions of men. Mormonism, *- with its evil genius, polygamy, has not I bem content to sit quietly by its salt sea through these yean. It has colonised :j3 .* extensively in Nevada, Colorado, Wyom- ing, and Idaho. The Morman vote, which is cast as a unit according as the * head of the church directs, has made itself felt in territorial elections for years, often holding the balance of power. It is now coming up in a new and «t0! more dangerous way in Idaho. The people of that territory are framing a constitution ̂preparatory to knocking at the door of congress and asking admission as a state. Hie new constitution guar- ̂antees religious freedom, but prohibits polygamy or "other practices inconsis­ tent with the morality, peace, or safety of the state." This is all very well. But the question congress will have to decide is this: Is such a clause, inserted partly at least for the express purpose of get­ ting into the Union, a sufficient guar­ anty against polygamy alter the terri­ tory once gets into the Union? What is to prevent the new state from turn­ ing around and legalizing polygamy? Nothing but the will of the people of the state, for the constitution gives the national government no power to inter­ fere with such matters inside a state, It was for this reason that Utah was „ denied statehood by the Fiftieth Con­ gress. She, too, promised to be good but congress had no faith that her good­ ness as regards polygamy would outlive the date of her admission. The Mormon % vote in Idaho is already large. If Idaho | becomes a pta&e, who can tell how soon polygamy may have a majority? Shall then, a territory with all the other qualifications for statehood, be deprived of the benefit of membership in the Union • for an indefinite period of time or for­ ever? Here is a problem for legislators to chew upon. It is quite possible that as the political development of the West . opens unforseen defects and deflcien | dies in the constitution, that venera- | ble document may need fugjbher amend j ment. It will do us no harm to learn | what our friends in the old world are so | land of telling us, that constitu&opa are ' not made, but grow. te. Senator "Milt" Mathews, in hfaU Atatftfot JolyiT, under above hi says: :* /; \ It should few borne in mind that the prohibition party is opposed to any kx al option law which permits counties, townships, cities, villages or wards to decide as to the question of high license or any other kind of license. The na­ tional platform of 1888 declared that "prohibition must be secured through amendments of our National and State Constitutions." It also declares that 'Any form of license, taxation, or regula­ tion of the liquor traffic is contra ̂ to good government." In still another plank |t declares for "the immediate abolition of the internal revenue system." It hereby in effect declares, first; that not one dollar of "license" shall be charged for engaging in the business of selling liquor. Second; that not one dollar of "taxa­ tion" shall be imposed upon the traffic or collected from it. Third; that no laws "regulating" the traffic such as making it a crime to sell to boys or to drunkards or to those that are drunk, or on 'Sunday shall be passed. This is true because they declare against "taxation" and against "regula tion" and in addition thereto, demand the immediate repeal of the law which collects 90 cents from every gallon of whisky made. They declare against any form ol regulation or curtailment except const!-, tutional prohibition. They also declare for woman suffrage. In Illinois they add to this the Demo­ cratic plank of "a tariff for revenue only." We quote from their platforms to prove these things and no truthful man will deny that We correctly state their position. In addition to this we note that the great leader of the prohibition movement, Governor St. John, the other day in a speech at Mason City, Iowa, discussed the tariff question at length. He opposed the tariff idea altogether and favored the laying of a direct tax on property, distributing the burden proportionately on rich and poor. We appeal to Republicans to consider carefully the position of the so-called prohibition party and not to be led astray by the honeyed words of third party orators, or by the tirade of abuse heaped upon the Republican party by those who have left it for any reason. The Herald will always aid in any tem perance movement which has for its object the curtailing; of the consumption of vils which follow therefrom. It draws the line here; I It will not help to build up a third party that has once, by its alliance with free whisky Democracy beaten the candidates of the Republican party on the National ticket and twice helped to elect a Gov­ ernor of the Empire State who has vetoed all wholesome restrictive laws intended to minimize the evils flowing from the liquor traffic. We cannot forget either that the pro­ hibitionists of Illinois gave to John M. Palmer, for Governor, nearly 3,000 of their votes, instead of casting them for Capt. Harts, their own regularly chosen candidate. The Herald is a Republican paper and 'will not, like some of its Champaign county eotemporaries, pat the third party fellows on the' back for three years and a half and then oppose them for sic months, during a presiden­ tial campaign. We believe the Republican party is composed of men who can better be trusted with the responsibilities of power, the destinies of the Republic and the interests of the masses than any other political organization now existing. We speak these words now because of the fact that the third party people are now making a campaign in our county, and beneath the peripatetic tent, are nightly spoken, bitter words* of the great Republican party, while the Democratic party is permitted to remain secure from attack. We feel that sensible men will see that their four years' campaign now fairly commencing, bodes no harm to the Democracy, but is intended to draw from the Republican ranks alone. So long as we sail under the Republican banner we shall not betray it by weaken­ ing under fire, or encouraging its enemies, no matter whether the guns are trained upon us by hired Democratic orators or disappointed Republican office-seekers. We cannot aid by word or deed a party which tends to place in power that party which for more than a quarter of a cen­ tury has been distrusted by the people and which has held what power it has obtained during that time by a shameful suppression of the sacred right of suffrage in more than forty congressional dis­ tricts. Until a lair election is held in every congressional district in the land and every voter is protected in every precinct in the Uuited States in his right to cast his vote without fear or intimidation and in his right to have that vote fairly counted and honestly returned, the mission of the great party founded npon the "equality of all men before the law" is not ended. We sincerely call upon all Republicans to deliberate upon this pro­ position before forming any alliance elsewhere than in its ranks.
