A great deal of political capi tal is being made of Senator Till man's assertion "that the preach ers and barkeepers are in an un holy alliance led by Col. Hoyt to destroy the dispensary." We have iot the slightest idea that Senator Tillman intended to con vey the impression that there ex isted a written, or even a verbal agreement between the preach ers and barkeepers, but that both the preachers and the barkeep ers are working for the same end-the destruction of the dis pensary. No one doubts that high motives are prompting the clergy, and in their zeal for a cause which they regard a reli gious one, they do not stop to consider the practical results: the one leading idea with them is to bring about a condition of holiness which they think ought to exist. The barkeepers and anti-dispensary forces are taking advantage of the religious fervor of the preachers to destroy the dispensary, and without any for mal agreement or alliance, they have tacked on to the preachers in the effort to kill the dispen sary, thus making the preachers and barkeepers enlisted in the same cause. but with different motives. Senator Tillman's blunt and harsh statement has aroused the resentment of the preachers and they, with a show of righteous indignation, are using the Sena tor's statement as a cudgel to wield over the heads of church mnember-s to make votes for Col. Hoyt. We have no idea that there is a preacher in South Car olina who thinks Senator Till man meant that the preachers and barkeepers had actually made a compact, but all the same it gives them material for an ex cuse to electioneer for Col. Hoyt, and they are not failing to take advantage of it. We do not know what effect the preachers are go ing to have in this election; they are a large body and should have influence, but if the preachers continue messing in politics an injurious effect on the church is bound to be the final result. We read where this and that preacher has condemn ed the opinion expressed by Sen ator Tillman, but nowhere have we read where the preachers have expressed approval of Gov ernor McSweeney's course in the Florence matter, where he did his sworn duty, and showed to the people that he was a man who cared more for his oath than he did for the votes of a mob. No, but had Governor McSwee ney acted in accordance with the wishes of the mob, the preachers would have denounced him, and for fear that their candidate, Col. Hoyt, may lose votes. they with hold the praise Governor Mc Sweeney so justly merits. We are thoroughly convinced that the present prohibition movement is politics pure and simple, engineered by politicians for the purpose of getting con trol of the official positions. The politicians hare shrewdly man aged to get the preachers on their side, by professing to advo cate a moral principle: this pro fession has caught a great many good men who will say they have no idea that we can have prohi. bition, but ti e fact that the ques tion is here. they must record their votes in favor of the priop) osition, and leave the results with (;od. Then.l there are othei me equally as grood, who take the view that every man is en dowed with the faculty of think ing for himself and that God will hold him responsible, if by his act or vote he brings about a condition worse than we have now. We agree with the latter view, to cast a vote for- prohibi tion when we believe that such a results, and do so with the idea that we leave the results with God, is, in our mind, nothing short of fanaticism. We heard a man say recently, -I would vote for prohibition even if 1 knew that liquor would be sold at every turn in the roaibd.eause prohibition is right, that l have nothing to do with the results, those I leave to rod. such a iman there is no use *r\'in, to reasol. He would have the evil which he feels called upon to drive out. --at every turn in the road - rather than vote to have somlie protectioll from the law. The matter for reasonable men to consider, is not whether pro hibition is right or wrong, but will a prohibitory law on our statute books at this time be to the best interests of the State? In our judgment it will not, for we honestly believe, the ideal condition hoped for by the preachers, is a dream, which can never be realized on this earth, and one which, if brought about, will give freer sway to the liquor evil and retard the cause of religion, and will result in financial benefit to the barkeepers whose votes will be allied with that of the preach ers to destroy the present sys tem of liquor control. If the preachers and barkeep ers succeed in electing Col. Hoyt with a Legislature to enact a prohibitory law, how will the law be enforced' The dispen sary law now requires sherifs and magistrates to see after its en forcement, and we have vet to see where a sheriff or mag-istrate attempted to enforce the law. Would it not be the same with prohibition" There is an old saying, "what is everybody's business is nobody's business," and a prohibitory law cannot and will not be enforced if, as Col. Hoyt says, "the enforcement will be left to the local officers." Well, suppose that to enforce prohibition an army of consta bles are employed, where is the money to pay them to come from An extra tax would have to be levied to raise the money to pay constables. The r-evinue now coming from the dispensary goes to the public schools and county expenses, take i' away and the tax levy is bound to be raised in order to meet the deficiency Are our readers ready and will ing to contribute money out of their pockets by paying~ more taxes, simply to gratify a theory which they know is imp~ractic-a bley We lh-ar- Prohibitionists talk about '-blind tigr-s,"- and that the dispensary law is not c-arr-ied out. Will these same people show where they have ever given the slightest aid to help (-arry out the lawy How many of them have sat on juries and refused to convict a blind tiger with dir-ect proofy How many of these pro fessing Pr-ohibitionists have pat ronized blind tigers and how many of them are inter-ested in blind tigersy If an examination of the freight and express books could be had, we ventur-e the as sertion that package after pack age is recorded in the name of a Prohibitionist, and probably some who are taking such a lead ing part that their names will be found attachedi to c-alls for prohibition conlvent ions or were delegates to the (convention~ which nominated Col.- Hoyvt. Prohibition is a failur-e wher ever tried, and the dispensary system, while not altogether as perfect as we would like to see it is the best liquor regulation et devised. This is an age where people do their own think ing, and if they drink they (10 their own drinking. Notwith standing the beautiful theor-ies of the preachers, the people will drink liquor: this being so. they will have it, and the best way to manage the (vil---for' we adimit it is an evil-is to throw such safe guards around its sale as wvill take away the alluring induce ments, and thereby reduce its consumption in tile most practi cal way. $100 Reward, $100.

It is all right fior lawyers to indul te in le'gal quibbles andi hair splitting. but when it comes to the i:hurle of Godtt lending its influence to I political party composed of the old tar room whisker element and a lot of potlitical schem~ners, under the guise of I'rohlibition. .ueh an act on the pari of u- clmreh re'prese'ntatives is a shame ;iul hiwering~ of the church's influence. iw report of the committee says that the sale of whiskey nas a beverage is a crime against the State, as well as against God that ought to be suppress ed." yet this same document would pro vide'for the manufacture and sale of whisker hv restricting it to "medicinal, sacratenittl and scientific purposes." So the intelligent and discriminating reader will perceive that the committee does not propose to absolutely prohibit the manufacture and sale of whiskey. hut simply to make a change in the mni~tlnt'r of dealing with it. which. in the comiiittee's opinion, would be a ittir way to deal with the liquor busi ne's titan a at present managed. Ob , e. however. that the State would still have to maintain a dispensary or lts mlake dispensaries out of the drug store. From a religious or christian point of view. why have whiskey at all? if the handling of whiskey by the State, as is now done, is so demoralizing and hone blighting. why provide for its sale in any forni Why not abolish it altogethti' and prohibit its manufac ture? Wiy practice deception by pro posilg to "restrict its sale to medicinal. sacramental and scientific purposes?" F'or how easy it will be to get whiskey for --medicinal" purposes? How easy for "'seientitie" purposes' And in the name of Godt what earthly use can the church have for spirituous liquors for sacra mental' purposes'? The wine that Christ made. it has been contended. was the pure juice oi the grape and un fermented: and if this be so. why not use that kintd of wine for "sacramental" purposes. without having to provide a . place to keep fermented wine for ""sac ramt'ntal purposes:" And then again. Mr. .ditor. if tilt' "sale and nianufac tut e" of whiskey is a crime against the State. is it not just as great a crime against the entire nation. and just as much subject to restriction as a "crime" against the nation as against the State? Yet these good preacher's never said a word along this line. notwithstanding thirt is a National Prohibition and anti-whi.,key party that has put up can dtidatts for I'resident and Vice Presi tent. bt thiese giod preachers will nt-vter Vot. fori tem -they will vote ciir for ilekinley oi Bryan,. without sit muenic., a word of encouragement fir ile Nat ional l'trohibition nominees.
