Temperance Department I n.ler the auspices of the rialtMiioulli W. C. T. I . OMIUlTKO HV MUS. J.M. WISK - To whom all communications for this depart liu-iit should he addressed. In response ts) our query of last week us to what, the temperance people of Plattsmoutli are doing, the Omaha Ilernld with ii a usual pernicious at tetiij ta i.t hiirciism, u plies: "Yithout detinite knowledge of v. I at the tem perance people of l'l.iltsitiouth are do ing, we venture tho s aieiuent that if they are doing Miiylhinjf on il.t-.i old line of action, they are again proving to the observing people tiiut they know nothing of the true uietlnul of lessening the evils of alcoholic intem perance in the lainl." We all know I lie tu.coinpl utilising liostility of I lie 1 1 -i tow ard the leuipeiance cuu' ; lul me we to fold our liands supineiy l o.iuse our "line of act Ion" di.t a i. nt iu t-i Willi the ap probation of Hie Ut-raM? Not so; our line of action, while it may not he the best one, ban i-aVed to us w me of our beat citizens, while others who have adopted the line recommended by the IIuul.l, and olht r anil prohibitionists, are fast drinking themselves into the oblivion of hopeless degradation. What we wish to do is to strike blows at the root of evil. It is not diilicult to trace to its origin the causes of the Polii. -Met tier tragedy that has just happened in our midst; do we wisli for a repetition of this terrible crime? No one will answer jes; hut are we not liable every day and every hour to the enactment of a tragedy fully as dread ful when men w hose brains are soaked and half crazed w ith alco! ol, are fur nished with what will make them tit for any i!i ed iheir crazy fancy may suggest. Are such men lesponsible for murder, or is the sentence just that will nan a man fur deeds com in it ted under the Influence of musion induced by the legalized a.tle of p'lisouV Brethren and sisters, "our line of ac tion" was a good one when we were working every day for those who had fallen by the way; but we let our en ergies relax; we have been idle all these months, and now we w ant to shake off the lethargy tltat has irept ii.to out mi-lst, and go to the rescue f iho-ie who are -'in the dei ths." We huve had many spauiou- urgu inents and a greet deal has been writ ten and said in our state against pro hibitory law. We came across the following good reasons in a Cnicago piper the other day why our state should have this pro'ection. They answei to the challeng "Is Prohibition Right? LHiUWK SELLING, is a physical evil iiitlic.td upon the citizens of the stale. Nor is this fact changed in the least by the considera tion thet many are in love with it and choose to have it. It is not the less an app illng physical evil, resting down heavier and heavier ewry year. It Is the prolific source of disease of the worst charact'-r, of bod v and mind. Il is a physical scourge upon the na tion, producing sufferings unparalled by any plague that ever swept the land. Yellow fever, small-pox. chol era all of whch are subject to sani tary legislation have never iuilicted such physical sufferings upon the peo pie as has the liquor business. We deemed the lebellion, which cost the country half a million lives and treasures untold, cruel, causeless, to be legislated against, and put down at all costs. Yet here is a business carried on in the States, which lias surpassed in its depths of physical woe, in its more cruel anguish, all that was suffered on the baltle-tields of the four year's war 2. This liquor business is ' a social evil. It is a menace to the republic It strikes at the family, thrusts bru tality into the holiest spot on earth, loads down the family with poverty ignorance and vice. An a social evil it pushes its way through all grades and ranks. Beginning at the founda tion, it works up and out in every way I speak of the business as such. The manufacture and sale of it are thor oughly unified for their deadly work The two branches of the business exist for each other, and can not be separa ted in any discussion which deals w ith their deadly results. . 3. It is a political evil, against which the law is invoked. Whatever degrades and brutalizes the citizen is a political evil. It disqualifies men for the fran chise, puts them in the market for po lilical barter and side. The 4.000 ta loons in Chicago have robbed the bal lot-box of its holy significance, and transformed it into a machine for po litical knavery. They have made it the instrument of burdening t..e prop erty and industries of the city w:tb oppressive taxation and that too. in the interest of lawlessness and crime. This business, blood; with crime, has thi ust its stained hands into the legis lative halls into executive departments of government, into Beats of justice, until thoughtful men tremble for the safety of society. It stalks with its money-bags through our national cap ital, and has become the great corrupt ing power in our national politics. It thrust itself into tbe funeral proces sion of our lamented president, play ing as conspicuous and dishonorable a part as the assassin's pistol. What of dishonor and shame has it not wrought in our political life? 4. It is a state evil. It smiles the state by laying its baud upon the citi zen, i rippling his powers, rendering his laltor unproductive, pauperizing him then handing him o-cr In the state as a charge. j The lio iOr business breed i"l ingots.

Thanksgiving. It is precisely two decades since Thanksgiving lay became a Nation al institution. It had existed for nearly two centuries and a half as a local holiday, a strictly Yankee notion. It was born, originally, of gratitude for a little corn, raised after a year of famine, but in 18W , it broadened into a recognition of the divine in human events. So far from being adopted by the Nation in gratitude for a specific blessing, it was established at the very time when the cotmtiy was in the depths of aflliclion, and when the probb in of bread had been almost lost sight of in t he agony of apprehension for the Nation itself. The Union cause had suffered defpat the polls. State after state which had been con fidently counted to uphold the Federal government in ils desperate struggle for existence had, on the contrary af forded aid and comfort to the enemy. Then, as twenty years later, many dis tinct causes conspired to a common political catastrophe. Upon the field of battle also disasters had inllowed each other in swift sucevssion. One cannot contemplate, wilhout admiring awe, the little band of pil grims gathering in the bleak Novem ber tj lift their hearts iu solemn grat tude to god for their first harvest, but there is something far more sublime in the contemplation of a great nation taking the darkest hour of its exist ence as the occasion for establishing a regular day of thanksgiving, to be ob served iinrnemorially, and that such a time was selected was not accidental. When Mr. Lincoln issued that first National thanksgiving proclamation he did so, profoundly conscious of the daikness which pervaded the land. He was no optimist with a Mark Tap ley disposition to make light of trouble His appreciation of the gloomy side of events was intense. That great state paper, the first of a series, was an expression of the fundamental truth accepted in common by the A merican people, without legard to the rel'Kious creeds or scientific opinions. Differ how we may in the detailed statement of views, we .all concede There's a divinity which shapes our etuis. Hough hew them how we will. That great central truth, apart from all speculation in igard to divine personality, is t o deeply rooted in human conviction to Le shaken by tbe current happenings, however calami tous, and is the bi.sis of all intellii'ent and sincere gratitude. If an attempt had been made twenty years ago today to so far forecast the future as to point out the good which would come of prevailing evil," the ef fort would have borne little, if any, resemblance to what actually occurred. The good in the evil of the present hour is equally inscrutable. Idle are all efforts of that kind. It is perti nent, however, to the present occasion to recall thf fact that the country suffered no harm from the clouds then in the horizon. Rebellion was crushed out none the leas effectually because rebel sympathizers were elected lo of fice in 1&62, and the Federal army was weakened by the jealousies of the of ficers. Such sympathies and such jealousies were utterly bad, just as the hates ami jealousies of the present day are, but the ends were shaped in public interest, despite the hewings, and hackings of. malicious hatchets. Eighteen hundred and sixty-two, to change the figure, had its apples of gratitude, and they were not turned to ashes by subsequent events, nor need there be any fear now that the fruit of gladness norne by any heart of to day will, with the ripening of time. turrvihe apples or oaom. -inter Knighthood orTo-lbiy. There ia a braver knighthood and a better chivalry come upon the world in these latter years. Tho courage of the people is "omelhing grand, and something wonderful to think of. The Hands are not more brawny, the mus cca of the limbs are not more as steel, but the heads are clearer and the hearts injarger and better hope. Con fidence in man, mini's confidence in himself, was never of such strength as now. Therefore than now there never was such sense of secuiity, such as surance of good as the harvest of the future. The government is reversed, is overturned, and the self conscious strength of manhood fears no evil. The head and the heait unite to meas ure the problem of events, ami with the wistlom if ihe tiufohlit g lime is courageous going fm waul in the bi Iter Way the light has ilitclostd. "l-'ot-waidl" is the universal ciy, nnd the frictlcii of the g.eat I ranspii ii.gs is only used lo point the way, Panics spring up here and thiie. men lal, by the way, there are cruel feet upon am bitions; but there is a .! ti I -t I tqui poise, and ii resinlablu uioial fni ce, back of all and pel mealing all, and dis order is soon displaced by older, and faintness is soon restored by the stim ulus of hope. The summer departs, and the garden .shrubs arecoM-ied.and the snow and the fiost come; and the tendeicft plants of all God's cieatiou button about them the w lappings of the season, and go on as in the sunny days. There is work to do, and woik iu every season, in the dark us iu the bright days; ami always confidence iu the to-inoirow. Politics go all wrong but may be not so wrong, for out of wrong ivill light be born. The state is filled with hoi dissension - but from the crucible the compioimse thai is of honor and the genu of truth shall come, finally. Hope says so, and hope iu the company of cot.rage, is a mag nate lo the linger of God. The cares of business almost overwhelm, and the burdens of it are heavier many times than there is .slrengih lo stand under; men go down, some not it rise again, but with the ai my thee is al ways victory. Grief conies into the home it spreads the blackness of night there, in which the thought of a rising star is mockery. Hut t lie liht struggles fur the m.t.steiy; its silvery beams touch the new made grave, and there is returning fint.i it with a smile. Willi such fortitude, such courage, such boundless !v;o!ul ion, the sweey of the year is titled with grandeur. There is security born of courage, there is faith born of works, there is ever increasing love born of hearts unfold ing iu majesty a knowledge of the beauty aud supreme power of the higher and grander law. On the march there are the many iu haul places, making life and death stiugghs against adverse conditions; there are tho many to whom virtue is a taunt and conscience a reproach., who wal low in the mire and perchance have no hope of solid ground. But the ar my of the world's humanity goes grandly on, and the trail leads out of the valleys and the shadow s and always upward toward the slais. The history of the ears, bound in immortal vol ume, is a proof of triumph, a testi mony to the irreversible law of de velopment, of evolution that works its sure betterments through the centu ries; aud so it is a stronu, Impiegtiable bulwark to that faith which says, "As the record is, even so shall the recoid be as the law of the great past unde- viatingly is, so shall the law of the great and measureless future be!" Of this is the knighthood :tnd the chivalry of our day and generation come. In the presence of this majestic faith, at eaery banquet and every grave, stand the children of men, in joy or in tears, but with courage unfaltering, with beckonings of to-morrow.
