Editor. - Putliskr, Saturday. Nov. 2- 1899. For President, ' ' 1900: Hon. W. J. Bryan, U " Of Nebraska. y A COXSCIERCE. J j As long as a man has con science there is hopo of him. I All true friends of humanity jvrill rejoice to learn that jeome articles in the Index ihavc developed a clear cut 'case of acknowledgment of wrong and abandonment of lit. Some pictures, which have been a constant .grief to jevery person of any, moral eeneibility, for some time, will not Imj flaunted daily be fore the eyes of the public again. Th character sketches drawn by the Index, as shown by those pictures, have caused the party who adver tised his business by them, to withdraw them from .pub lication. The editor of the Index is glad. He has no ill will toward any of his fellow creatures. The action of withdrawing the picture pud the advertisement raises the ijf vcijr iiiuvU in uio veil mation and gives him hope that tbo party may see the terribly destructive nature of the. business" and quit it alto gether. The editor of the Index would much prefer that all men had consciences that would cause them to quit the business. It is the business lie opposes, and against whichhe would create by moral J suasion a sentiment which will abate it. The In dex is not a political-prohibition journal; but it is a polit ical, Democratic, anti-saloon, ANTI-INTOXICANT jour nal. It is not a religious pa per; but it is an advocate of morality and temperance. If an advertisement calculated to lead into vice ana drunk enness, ollering to pay any amount, were offered, to the Index, it would be promptly refused. Thero is a picture, lioweverr in the editor's mind, which would be accepted if sent in by a aaloon. Here is the picture: A raving, blas pheming, bloated man a weeping, heartbroken, iwver-ty-Btricken woman ragged, half -star vei, sickly, degraded children murderers and the murdeml a death's head . by tho business. A newspaper may h tye no ' conscience, but its editor and manager should have. The city government is a corporation, and corporations havo no souls, but those that . composo them have. If the city fathers cannot destroy, they may curtail, and there by minhnizo the evil. Every citizen should con sider this matter calmly and dispassionately, and seeing the destruction the business brings, should use every le gitimate means to stop it. Nearly every exchange tells of some awful death or fear ful crime brought about by intoxicants. Should not a moral, Christian people agi tate and oppose the fell busi ness until it ceases its deadly, destroying work? " Let every man answer at the bar of his own conscience! I The editor ot the Index re joices that a conscience has been quickened and some good done. May the good work continue! But this shall suffice on tbls pubject for some time. EXIT DEWEY. V Old Man Dewey is sniffling and whining on account of thejlood of criticism which is falling upon him because he deeded to his wife' the house which was recently given to him, and thereupon after the storm broke, the madam deeded the house to the old man's son. x-v uewey says ne . never would have believed that the people who were making so much of him only a few days ago could so soon turn around and say such mean things about himtall of which shows that the admiral may be a very capable naval officer but he doesn't know human na ture. But the whole business has been in horrible taste. There was, first, too much slobbering over Dewey when he came home. He played his part well ai Manila and we are not of those, who would detract one iota from the re- -a e i - i t i W4UU1 " niciiuiu ociviLXB there and the glory and re- nn . , i nown 10 WJllCIl ne IS justly entitled. -w- , . ., . But lie 18 evidently not made of the stuff that can stand fulsome adulation, and the glory business Was over done when he came home. Then he did a foolish and un wise thing when he accepted the house which a lot of sen timental people had bought for him by public subscrip tion, but if he had taken the gift and stopped there even, that' might have been for gotten. But, instead, heshow ed unseemly haste in accept ing it and had the cheek-to ask that it be furnished. Then, to show what a bloom in1 goose he could make of himself, he turned round and deeded the house to his wife, who was a wealthy woman in her own right. Now the storm has burst and the ad miral a very much hurt. He is so disgusted that he inti mates that he wouldn't have any more old houses if they were handed to him on a sil ver waiter, and intimates that he may go on the retired list and leave the country. Well, let him go. it's ' a pity that a man with such an excellent naval record should make a fool of himself inJiis old days, but that's justwjiat Dewey has done and the soon er he drops out of sight the better for him and the public. Statesville.Landmark. HERO WORSHIP. The article published else where from the Statesville Landmark expresses our sen timents better than we can. This worship of heroes is all wrong and bodes no good to our country. It is very much after the fashion of aucipnt Rome- Gen. - Fun ston seems to be the only of ficer who -has at all appreciat ed the fact that the privates are worthy oias much honor as the officers. Who finally overthrew tli Roman Repub lic? Her '.military and naval heroes. Is America going to follow in the footsteps of an cient Rome until some milita ry hero gets the ascendency and the people corrupted by wealth and luxury, own him master ? Thlf. nrn TCA lint trmkinr lio. roes toocommon, and for very can e enjoyed from one of small -services ? To overcome our ill"lcy and tender roasts old, effete, dead Spain, and a of prime beef, that has a de few thousand savages in the liciousnees of '.-.flavor that Philippines are very .small makes it th'orouqhly enjoya achievementsany way-scarce- hld.w ta u tempting ly worth making a hero out . , r r , . of any one stock of Fall foods in Spring . j Lamb, Veal, Double Chops THE KENTUCKY ELECTION- and fine Norfolk Oysters. We publish in another col- 0ur lneats are awa' p in umn an article from the Le - noir Topic, which is to the! point, as to the selection of ' candidates. Its comment on' the Kentucky election mud dle is also about right We add only this: Thn Demo crats foolishly divided andr gave the State to the Reptlb- Hcaus, Taylor has a ' vlmhiSS mws ver ity and is elected, it p seems clear. We hope the Board ot Elections will decide accord ing to right and justice. Let Taylor be inaugurated, . If the Democrats have a major ity in the Legislature, surely theywill agree and not throw away the seuatorship. Who can object to Joe Blackburn? ' A CHAMEErTOF COMISERCE. Why do not the merchants of Salisbury organize a cham ber cjf commerce? All cities find such an institution an excellent thing. The mer chants need it for their own protection against swindlers and rascals. Such an institu tion will greatly aid in the advancement of every mate rial interest in the city. Let the business men agitate the question and organize a chamber. Pmsrled a Tragedy.
