Tho longest snow ftortn of the
season prevailed in tho Dorth during
Ibo past wcolr, blockading tho tianis
on all of tho northern roads.
Prohibition is attracting somo at-
tention, and will probably becomoan
183UO. ' In somo quarters wo notico
a disposition to treat tho maltor in
Us effect on tho rovenuo. This is
wrong. "Wo had better pull tho ad-

question that ought to bo considered
in, will prohibition prohibit. Gates-

Th'e lluton(N. JI.) Imlopondcnt is
authority for tho Btatonont that cat-
tle in tho vieinuy of DodgoCity, Ks.,
nro said to bo suffering loriibly Horn
tho effect of tho jecont snows. In all
parts of Colorado, howover. cattle
-aro reported loebo in primo condition
'lis a gonoral thing. Luto Texas cat-
1,lo havo suffored some, but tho
general opinion of stock men is that a
very small por cent will havo to be
deducted this spring to covor the
1 losses of tho present winter.
Just let Mr. TJndonvood's bill to
make "drunl.pnnoss'sufiiecnt giound

and many a heart that is heavy ,with

of it as will mako ono drunk, and tho
benofit will oo bi ought within tho
reach of the poorost mon(and
-women) in tho stato. Wonder If Mr.
"Undoi wood drinks? If so, wondor
if ho wasn't drunk when ho formed
tho bill? Pnleatino Advocate,
Mr. Alexander's Bill.
Thq Woathorford Sun upon this
bill very appropiiatoly re mm Us:
Roprcsontativo Alexander's bill re-
quiring legal sales of roal ostato to be
published in a newspaper is ono of
tho most important measures intro-
duced for consideration of tho present
legislature. Tbo present modo of
advertising these sales merely by
' posting wjitlon notices in three dif
ferent places does not givo BiifHcont
publicity of such sales, nnd for want
of competitive bidding is only givoa
land sharkB, who mako a practice of
hanging around tho court houses and
are always watching for theso written
notices, a chanco to bid for property
for less than half its roal vuluo. It
is in this way that tho prcsont modo
of advertising logal safes works great
. injustice to tbo debtor, who Vs thus
placed , 'at tbo morcy of armicious,
' unprincipled land shark", without
p tbo protection of a statutory law such
as guards tho interests nnd jusl dues
of tho dobtor in ovory other stato in
tho Union. If our prosent legislators
undorstund'tho intorosts of their con-
stituents in tlita record." and nro
willing to faithfully subsorve them,
vthoy will puss tho bill introduced by
Mr. Aloxnndor without a dissenting
-vpico. Tho objection raised that -the
passago of such a law wonld only
benefit tho uowspnpors is tho merest
subtorfugo, for-thefaw dollars print
or's feo is too i nsignificao t for consider
ation in enso of sales of valuable rea-
estnlosold, as ib most instances it is
at a ruinous sdcrifico to debtors, solo-

iAs, tho question of Prohibitior
socuis to bo agitating tho looal puhlio
mind at present, I dosiro, with yoiu
permission, to givo ospreBsion to a
fow thoughts on tho subjtct through
tho medium of tho Star,
Prohibition in its present aspect is
a' political movement. Under tho
pica of saving mankind from tho
torriblo curso of iiitompotatico" it asks
for public support. lis methods aro
communistic aud dnngeroun. Its ap-
peals aro not to teuson, but to tbo
sympathies. Its first appi oauhes are
mild and porsuasivo its latter coor-
eivo. It demands in tho namo of
God and humanity that you put your
shoulders to tho wheel that crushes
your porsonal liberty.
Tho grand central idea of Prohibi
lion, is to prevent intemperance, by
removing tho causo. At fitst glnnco
this appoars reasonablo onougli. Its
advocates tell you that the presenco
of alcohol is tho cause, and that its
removal is tho romedj'. Tliisassump
tion is not tenable. Tho real cause
lies back o"f this, in tho dtsiro, oven
tbo ucraauus ot tbo liuinan sBlem
for stiinuluntB. It is almost a ti
vorsal desiro ol moro or I
intensity in individal cases. So
nro sntsefied with coffee, somo war!
alcohol others chlpial, cbloiaform,
opium, meuictu scionco no
demonstruted tho fact bcyon
tho shadow of a
that the disciso exists a.nd
yields to specific ticatment.
While this disease exists,
lion against stimulants
doub
that it
legisla-
miisl noccssanlyjpi o vo abort ivo of gor d ro
suits, Tho past hiBtory of such
legislation tolls us so in tbo languago
of stubborn facts. Prohibition doesl
not prohibit. It is a fraud and a
failuio. Slmlo3 of departed stntei-
men nnd yo brilliant stars of our
present political firmament. What
say you to this? Aro j-our thoughts
embodied in that portion of tho
democratic platform which sa3's,
" lVcoppose sumptuary laws which vex
the citizen and interfere with individual
liberty? Yea, verily 1
These thoughts aro mcroly sugges-
tive and lend us-to tho threshold of
the aiona, whore elaborate debalo can
prove their truth or falsity. Thcro
I Icava them for tho present.
Democrat.
8ns tho Dallas Herald : At a
woman's rights convention, rcconlly
held inHoitloid, England, and pre-
sided over by Lady Southerlnnd, a
resolution was offered nnd cauiod'
favoring a law making it a misdo-
mcanor for any family to have moro
than three children. Tho law might
possibly piovoa gboJ ono in that
over-populated country, but it might
work a baidship on some in prolific
America whoro twins nro frequent,
and with such a lady as the one in
Gooigia who recently gavt birth to
a quartott of girls it would piovo a
nulity. A law of this kind in tbo
United States wouldn't bo popular,
recover.
