against which Rev. Beall cries out; and
as Mr. Bentley says, it is hardly consis
tent to license or regulate the one, and
then attempt to prohibit or Wipe out the
other. This world would become as in
the philosophy of Dr.Panglosa "the best
of all possible worlds' if drink and the
various social evils were effectually pro
hibited; but it has yet to be demonstrat
ed that this can be done. However,
this fact Bhould not prevent attempts to
lessen the evils.

Time was when these pillars of the ad
ministration controlled the machinery
of the party and supplied the grease
that enabled it to run. They are still
holding the grease and are willing to
use it; but the other fellows, the heretic
free sil verites, have carted the machinery
into their own round house and hoisted
the democratic flag and the group of
orthodox and rock-ribbed believers, is
left alone. Only one hope is left these
unfortunate partisans, and that is that
the conservative element will have con

have to sustain it and the chilling blasts
of the coming winter are likely to work
sad havoc among these forasken patriots.
