Not a breath calumny can be uttered against the noble Christian statesman and philanthropist, Gen. Clinton B. Fisk. He is above suspicion above reproach, above even the lying ton'ie of the campaign slanderer. Every presidential candidate is attacked but him.

His life is an existence of generous deeds, noble words and Christian actions He is ten times the peer of every presidential the spotless-ness of his life and the nobility of his character. Vote for him. Nearly five-sixths of the church conferences of our land are endorsing the grand work of the prohibition party.

P. MART IK For Representative 16th Dist Briefs. BY GEO. K. GRANT.

In the future the centers of political influence will probably be the college, not. the saloon. The labor parties cry out against monopoly. But not a word in their platforms against, or even concerning the giant monopoly of the age the liquor business. The historian of 2000 A.

D. will record a great revolution, which, near the close of the 19th century, swept over the entire republic a revolution against the autocracy of the liquor traffic. In the political controversies of the seasor, let there be no display of temper on the part of prohibiiionists. An angry spirit is suggestive of either weakness in the mao or weakness of his cause. A calm, yet.

firm manner is valuable above all in that-it is suggestive of well founded convictions. Can true prohibitionists offiliate in party with Republicans? No, the grand, nobiss principles of the new party find no echo in the hearts of the old. The principles of the old parties remain unaltered. Can leopard change his spots? We hear some so-called republican prohibitionists say that if these Prohibition! cranks in the third party would work as hard for prohibition through the Republican party as they do in their own, they might accomplish something. But not 05 they are illogical.

In 1860 the consumption of liquors was only six gallons per capita. In 1886 it was 12 gallons and constantly increasing. Plainly then, the use of strong drink is just 100 per cent greater than it was 26 years ago, and there is double the drunkenness there was then. With no legislation, where would the traffic in this damning evil end? God only knows. But there must be a remedy, and there is one, for the drink curse, and every vote cast for Fisk and' Brooks this year will help to fix the date for the application of this remedy.

National prohibition alone can make this nation a sober people. What grander legacy, friends, can you leave posterity than a country free from the curse of drink? What nobler heritage than a land of sobriety and happiness? Is it not your duty to vote for principle and conscience, rather than at the dictation of a party? Then vote as you pray, vote as your conscience dictates, vote as the best interest of your home would suggest. Vote for Fisk and Brooks. "We have had enough of sectional dif ference in this country.
