The decision of the demurrer and motion mn the case of Carrington, swindler, was also rendered this moriring, the motion bemng sustained and a new 1 granted.

HE ADVOCATES HIGH LICENSE, What Society's Pets Have Been Doing ~Bold Highwaymen-Shot In the Neck by Accident—Gen eral Notes, A Clergyman Opposes Prohibition, J. Mackay, recently of St. Paul's of this city, has taken a stand on the ition questior that will create quite a commotion in certain quarters. As a prom- inent citizen stated last evening, *“It will raise & howl among the prohibitiouists,” but the arguments advanced by the clergyman in defense of his position are so logical and dispassionate that, coming as they do from a standpoint opposed to the saloon, and in behalf of morality, Christianity and the home, they will be read with unusual inter- est, and be accredited the full weight that attaches to them. ‘Ihat the gentleman has had an opportunity to witness the practical workings of prohibition none will deny. It seems that a committee on ministerial correspondonce, operating from Sioux City, has adiressed o circular letter to the minis: ters of the state, the purport of which is con- tained in the following: e believe that it would be of untold value if every minister throughout the stute would preseat in his pulpit, on some Sunday prior to January 1 next, b nvictions on the nmatter, urging that th sent prohibitory laws shall not be revealed until the people who demand n shall have the ciear opportunity to vote '8! Or ‘no’ on the mattes 404 Would it be too much to ask of you that you would not only preach to your “people as outlined above, but also to sénd us the names of prom- inent members of yonr community with whom we might communicate if needed, and any suggestions as o practical work which might scem to you to be good? They will be as gladly received as they are heartily asked.” appeal Rev. Mr. Mackay o owing open letter: which is worthy of the most careful consideratiol Covxcin Brores, Ta,, Dec. 27, 1880. w, J. Johnson and J. W, Southwell, Committee on Ministerial Correspondence, Sioux City, In.—Gentlemeu: Lam in receipt of your communication containing the resolutions passod at & meeting of the Ministers’ asso- ciation of Sioux City, recently held, ana with the request that I preach to my people on the subject of prohibition with the avowed intention of influencing the action of our legislature so that the present vrohibitory law will be sustained and strengthened. I regrot most sincerely that I can not comply with your request, for believing you to be sincere in your conviction thatthe remedy for intemperanco lies 1n legislation, it grieves me to run counter to the opinions of sincere singlo minded men, and to seem to be placing myself in the ranks of the opvosition. This I would not regret so deeply could I but feel that my honest convictions of right would meet with the respect and sympathy on your part that T freely accord to those who differ from me, be the suvject what it may. Iam aware also that my action witl result in plac- ing me outside t pale of many of my brethren in the ministry, whom you justly describe in your resolutions sent me, as *cit- izens having a deep and common interest in the good name and purity of the city,” and thut wy right to be clussed among those citi- zens will be auestioned on the ground ol a difference of opinjou as to the relative merits of two measures adopted for the suppression of the evils of intemperance, prohibition and high license. Nevertheless T cannot comply ‘with vour request aid for these reasons: 1. After scveral years of trial of vrohibi- tion in this eity the law hus proved a miser- able farce. The county has been put to an immenso amount of trouble and expense in the prosecutions of suits against liquor deal- ors, and all to no purpose, while the open sa- 1o flourishes on every hand without re- striction. 2, 1do not believe that the open saloon s as dangerous to the morals of the rising gen- eration as the club rooms and private drink- 10g habits which pronibition always creates. You say in the resolution referred to: *We do not cluim that the covert sale of intoxica- ting drinks has been wholly suppressed, bit we do know that the the public saloon as a trap for incautious youth in this city has ceased to be.” Are you not aware that the worst trap for incautious youths is the one which is disguised and hidden under the pleasing forms of club life, snd amid the se- crecy ever dear to the youthful mind? Aund are you not awarve that the advocates of high license lay stross upon the fuct that under that system these ‘‘death traps” will be so reduced in number that they will be casily guarded and so conducted that they will be infinitely less dangerous to the worals of the commupity than the holes in the wall and the pack door and the bootleg saloons which are the legitimute results of prohibition. We can gusrd our youth from a danger which we seo and know, but aguinst these hidden foes which appeal so powerfully to cortain instincts in the human heart, who can protect them | 8. You say: “We do not expect prohibi- tion to save drunkards, but to prevent a new gencration of drunkards.” I confess to being puzzled as to how prohibition will *‘prevent a new generation of drunkards,” if the same conditions prevail that prevent the roforma- tion of the drunkards of today. Your state- ment 18 the first taciv admission I have secn made by prohibitionists that legislation could not be depended on to effect a change in the moral nature of man. I have always thought and taught that nothing but the re- ligion of Jesus Christ could change a man's nature; that 1t was as easy to make a drunkard a Christian as 8 temperate mun, and that religion will go what legisiation is yainly tryiog to do, change the nature by ro- forming the man from within, not without, a8 prohibition tries to dg, 1 have scen many a drunkard saved by the power of religion, and how wuch might be accomplished in thab Line if religious people were only in earnest it is not easy to estimate. Liet us give the religion that Jesus tuught a fair trial, Iocan hardly imagine that he ever expected we would have'to call on our legislature to help us in the reclaiwing of sinful mon, and I feel that I should be admitting His religion to be a sad failure should I declaro that the aid of the Iowa legislature was necessary before we could reform the drunkard or prevent & new generation of drunkards from arising in our midst. 4. Lthink the mass meeting which you suggest should be held in Des Moines to “4ix the wavering sentiment of the weak friends of prohibition” is entirely unneces- sary, and the proronh & gratuitous insult to our legislators. 1f a majority of the mem- bers of the legislature vote in favor of a high liccnse and local option they will do so from the sincere conviction that prohibition bas not prohibited and that bigh license will restrict. That conviction will have been reached after mature deliberation, and after some yoars of personal experienco with the subject, and no outside pressure or secret lobbying will avail to change a conviction thus ganed, As a minister of the gospel I believe with the new branch of the Women's Curistian Tumpernnw union in Iowd, of which Mrs. Foster is the head, thatthe whole subject should be taken out of the domain of politics and placed , where it belongs. It is & moral quéstion, not a political one—a religious question,: not one for our legislature to decide—and while from my standpoiat Iam inclined to think all legislation on this subject illegal, I am very sure, from past experience and knowledge of human nature, that a higl license law will do vastly more 1o check the evils of intemperauce than the present pro- hibitory law, which in many of our cities is only another name for free whisky. These are my reasons for not complying with your request, and I ask for them the fair treat- went which sbould bo accorded Lo every houest thinker, for certainty of conviction does not insure the truth of the conviction, and your thinking that your position is the true one does not make it true, even though ¥ou may be in the majority. I do not despair of some solutiou of the problew being found, but meantime subceribe myself, your friend and brother in Christ, T, J. MACKAY, Rector St Paul's Church. Sr———— The United Workm :n.

The chicken escaped, but the ball flow over in Roe’s yard and strack that gentleman 1n the neck. Fortunately he wore a collar button, among other articles of ap- gm'el, and the bullet hit this, smashing it eyond recoguition and cutting Roe's neck.
