THE KNELL OF PI(OHIBlTl(W Comments on the Recent Election in Maseachusetts. TEMPERANCE PEOPLE AGAINST IT The New Englanders Have Profited By the Expericnce of BSister Statesand Repudiated the Prohibitory Humbug. The Level-Headed Bay State. Boston Journai: Many good citizens, who have voted together upon local pro- hibition as involved in the annual vote for no lhcense, paried company upon this issue. For this reason the vote in favor of the amendment_can not justly be taken as an index to the temperance sentiment of the state. For this rea- #on, also, the defeat of the amendment can not rationally be interpreted as blow at temperance. 1t is only a ques- tion of method which was settled in the election; the broader underlying ques- tion of principle is undisturbed, and we look to see a continued growth in the which make for sobricty - and the thorough en irictive laws, The advoc ndment will not complain that they hu\t- not had [ play. The pluluu which the republican party made tosub- mit the question to the people has been made good by the concurrent action of two successive ugmmm The day fixed for the vote eeable to the advocates of lllL amendment. The campaign in their interests has been ably organized and pushed with vigor, &l and intelligence, St. Paul Globe: All the New Eng- land states have tried prohibition, and four of the six have within the past month or two pronounced it unsatisfac- tory fand refused to have it in the cou- stitution. New Hampshire and Massa- chusetts have had votes of the people adverse, and Rhode Island and Con- necticut have legislatures opposed. The latter by a narrow vote refused to sub- mit the amendment. Maine and Ver- mont worry along with the law, but the people have become adepts in its evas- ion. To the srage vision it would seem that the virtue of law to restrain thevicious appetite for drink by put- ting its satisfaction out of reach is pith- less, but those who have a theorv in the grip of conscience will pust right on re- gardless of results. One of them finds cheer in the reflection that disaster is a wholesome test of faith, and that it is the dark. just before the break of day. Kansas City Times: Prohibitionists cannot attribute the tremendous ma- jority to the preponderance of the igno- rant vote, for there is as much intelli- gence in Massachusetts in proportion to the population as in any other state in the union—a Massachusetts man could not be induced to admit that there was not more per capita than in any other two or three states. There is only one explal ion of the vote and the prohi- bitionists can scarcely help realizing it. The mass of the people do not believe in as a principle or in its workings.” They have watched ts \u)lkn\g~in the states in which it has been tried, and they are convinced thut it is not Denver Republic Several ago it looked as though the prohi ists stood a good chance of securing a general adoption of their policy in re- spect to the liquor traffic. But the pros ect before them is not so bright now. ['he defeat of prohibition in Texas and lennessee hurt their cause in the south. Their success, in so far as the adoption of the amendment in Rhode Island was concerned, and the subsequent failure to enforce the law, hurt them in the north. Now comes their defeat in Massachusetts to increase their dis- courngement. The ill, probably, be defen in Pennsy! 4 Denver News: The recent votes in New Hampshire and Rhode Island,with the result in Massachusetts, which may be accepted as an omen of the Pennsyl- vania struggle that will be decided in June, ought to suggest to prohibition- ists a suspicion that in the present tem- per of the American people their plan of fighting the liquor traflic v not be the most efticient. If prohibition can- not be sustained in New England what hope 15 there of extending it over the country? True, Maine clings to it, but the results there are far from satisfac- tory. The courage of the most zealous pl"DhlllIll()lll\lH would yield before the news from Massachusetts, but that Kan- gas and lowa remain as props of sup- port. Yet these states offer the key to no general result, as the proportion of agricultural to town and eity population is unusually large, while it is known that at the popuious points of both the Mie continues to be surrepti- In some instanc S any pretense of conceal- ment, as in Keokuk, Ia., where the sa- Joons are conducted as openly as in New go Inter-Ocean: There is a growing conviction on the part of tem- perance people that prohibition on a state scale is a mistake, that it only makes a bad matter s@ in cities, and has no advantage over local option in rural towns. This conviction is gradu- ally permeating the ranks of those who were once a unit in favor of prohibition. The irrational attempt to develop a na- tional issue out of prohibition was’ so destitute of good judgment that it set a good many people to thinking that proposiiions which they had been ac- sustomed to accept axiomatically were really open to discussion. Once get- ting their thinking caps on they wore them to some purpose in an examination into the visdom of a prohibition which, while it did not prohibit, prevented re- striction, and so, in the end, amounted to free trade in whisky. BIn other words, Mussachusetts sut down on pro- hibition, not to give freer range to the liguor traffic, but because the more sensible ¢ izens think that eve! ry feasi- ble protection should boe afforded so- ciety against the evils of intemperance, Minneapolis Tribune: The recent general ‘-L». ption was & marked indica- tion of the decadence of prohibition as 8 political issue. The vote in New Hampshire and Massachusctts, and the almost certain result in Pennsylvania, emphasize the approaching deuth of the prohibition party. It will soon go the way of all third partie has demonstrated that there is room in this country for two great par! and that the people are pret divided on the lines which separate them. - The recent vote on prohibition emphasizes this fact. New York Herald: We hope the pro- hibtionists will accept the result se- renely. It will never do to declare that Massachusetts is *‘a rum old state,” or that she is souked in bad whisky and is on the down-hill track that ends in erdition. There is a strong tendency 1 human nature to use expletives about & man who doesn’t agree with you. These down east folk believe in femperance from their shoe strings to their bair, and though they ‘manufuc- tura & good quality of Medford rum, they send most of 1t to New York and the west. But they are not willing to enact & law which is useless, because it can’t be enforced—never has been on sny spot on the globe, and won't be patil the millenniumy strikes us. We e rather inclined' to think that the THE OMAHA DAILY BEE. MONDAY, APRID 29, 1889 Day state is level-headed on this sub- ject. New York Times: The prohibition amendment has been defeated in Mas- sachusetts by a majority of nearly 40,000, Boston gave a_majority against it of about 20,000, and in nearly all the cities the adverse vote was very de- t m being almost the Several of these are under local option sustain the prohibition policy for themselves. This shows that the sentiment in favor of constitutional prohibition does not correspond at all to that in favor of rigid restrictive legislation. It is prob- ably not so strong as that for statutory prohibition, but there is every reason to believe that the temperance senti- ment is generally favorable to a policy of high license and local option, and that policy will be promoted by the de- feat of prohibition. The subject has undergone a thorough agitation in Massachusetts, which is likely to result in benefit to the temperance cause. Chicago Herald: By a large majority Massachusetts has defeated the prohi- bition amendment to its constitution. The campaign has been exciting. and even bitter, and a hotter contest has nnll pen known in that state since the issue. The whole common- wonlth was moved,and never. boforo were the temperance men and the anti- temperence men so well organized to meet each other at the l'\fl”‘i, The r sult has been an overwhelming defent for the temperance men. The people have decided the question after the methods appointed for them to make decisions, and when they have decided it should be an end of the matter. Chicago Times: The explanation of repeated recent failure to secure popu- lar indorsement at the ballot-box of the plan_of the prohibitionists will be found, probably, in the fact that a prac- tical ' people " mindful of rights “and the hopelessness of accom- plishing reforms in men’s habits by drastic statutes are content with the improvements made by most of the states in the laws regulatory ot dram- shops. Local option obtains exten- sively, high license is general, munic i ulation is stricter and more di- rect. This much having been achieved, there is an unwillingness to go any fue- ther, especially when to go' further may mean to fare worse. The sturdy common sense of the country is con- tent. Chicago Tribune: At present any community that wants prohibition can have it. It is only a question” of public sentiment, and no paper law can con- trol the individual appetite in a com- munity where the sentiment of the ma~ jority'is against it. Prohibition can only go by moral conviction, and moral conviction is not to be had under pulsion. Under the will now remain undisturbed for a long time to come, the pract temperance men of Massachusetts will continue their work by restrictive mensures, where prohibifion can not be enforced, and secure excellent results, while those communities which want prohib- ition, and have sufficient strength to enforce it, can obtain it at any time. Cincinnati Enquirer: For the third time, this spring, a New England state recorded the verdict of its people st what called prohibition. Hampshire, whose ftinity Lo Maine led the prohib. to be sanguine of suc They were badly beaten. Then came little Rhode Island, with similar exvecta- tions and a like result.

ITIS AN Ul HAT when you buy any article, beit what it may, that the best, even ata greater cost,is cheaverin thelone run, and saves manv a dollar in the course of a year. Now, the prices on our goodsars very low, in tact, it would be an utter impossibility to sell honestly made goods for less: but what we claim most emphatically for our goods is, that the styles, fits. and more particularly, the make up, is equal to the major- ity of custom made garments, and superior to the mass of goods that are generally offered and sold. We are extremely particular to bur- chase for our trade only from such manufacturers whose reputation for good and legitimate work is well and widely known. You cannot buy a good dollar ior fifty cents, and many garments of similar quality of goods that are sold at lower prices are ot necessity made up cheanly; they look well while new, but the differenceis appreciated when it comes to the question of wear. In Spring Overcoats we are selling a vretty dark grey Cassimere at $5.25, an all wool olive mixed cassimere for $8.75, a snuff brown Melton, solid colors, hand- somely lined, at $11; a light grey all wool serge, good valueat $11; a very nobby slate color all wool Cassimere for $11.25; blue and lead color wide wale Worsted, cnstom made at $13.50; a beautiful all silk lined brown and olive mixed Melton, very nobby, at $15.
