mo victory will bo yours. Vrrn the Dallas and fiaiucsville connection with tho great Simta Fc system and the now Dallas and Archer railway to another coal supply, Dallas will put another edgo on her razoop. Col. Swain's audience last night was as about ten hundrod to 300 for ConerosBmau Crain. Had not the weather been bo theateuing, tho audi-enccs of each would have been The antis break every law they think it is to their interest to violate.

Even one of thoir number, high in authority, a congressman, a law-maker, declares openly bo would violate tho prohibition Jaws. Of such as Mills, Crain Co. is the anti-prohibition and proscription party compoaed. They talk about intolerance and yet their utterances are double distilled spirits of brigotry and Intolerance. Congressman Crain took an official oath which binds him to support the constitution and laws of this country; yet he declared last night that if tho prohibition amendment carried ho, for one, would not hesitate to vlolato the law.

Tho whisky power respects no law except tho law of groed and selfishness. The peoplo of Texas will not approve of Attorney General Hogg's opinion that tho law which the legislature and the governor said should go Into effect July 4th, shall be evaded by all who desire. The Attorney-General's ruling makes the saloons a law unto themselves those who deBlro may keep screens and those who don't need them may comply with tho new law. ITad it not been for a prejudice against farmers and workingmen in certain quarters, among the very men who now constitute the anti prouibi tien puuluiii. uiiJ who were ihw, now.

influenced by tho liquor power ilia throne. Cliut of Dallas would to-day be Attorney-General of Texas, and tho saloons would bo re quired to obey tho now law aud not encouraged to evade It. Vnnn James McConncll of Abilene, whllo under the influonce of liquor for which he paid tho saloons money his wife needed for home comforts, foil from a window ot the second story ot Lia house to his death. This death doe directly to the curse of the liquor traffic will not be put down In the sta tistics which COL Mills quotes, sci ther will that death of engineer Hag irortv bv drunken Griirsby in the Fort Worth saloon, nor hundreds of others throughout Texas every year. And yet CoL Mills quotes federal statistics which show that 1,600 pcopie mine United States die from "altoolism;" but be does not state that of this number only four died of alcoholism, for then would his hearers know that something was wrong.

Alcoholum as given in these statistical reports means the hereditary dUease contract ed from excessive drinking, and docs not include the murders, homicides, suicides, accidental deaths, slow deaths from effects of the drink on the phy. ical syetem or mind, of which there are 60,000 estimated In the United States. CoL Lanhatn in his late Dallas speech clearly and fully exposed this piece of deception on the part of CoL Mills. A S1DI2 ISSUE. Congressman Crnin, of the Coast District, in his speech Tliursdny nif-ht, ruvo it ns his opinion lint llio clause in the Democratic pint-form which declares locnl option non poliiical question, docs not reier to juouumiuu i and yet the Congressman did not attempt to explain the difference in the principle of precinct, county and Btate prohibition.

There is this difference only: Local prohibition was an issue then, and Btate prohibition is an issue now; had State prohibition been before the people then, that eame Democratic Convention would no doubt have declared that Stato or local prohibition is not a test of purty Rt dtp's rights icumj. Dmnoerftt'a declare in favor of "local" self-government, do they mean county government exclusively or State government! Mr. Crain goes a little further and asserts that who depart from its (the Democratic party's) principles (meaning the pros.) read themselves out, as tho next State Democratic piaiiorra will probably prove." 'llus expression, following so closely the declaration of the Aqnlla, Hill county, anti-prohibition club, to the effect that pro-Democrats must be excommunicated leaves no doubt as to the desire of that erratic faction. Now, the nERALD would lite to ask if Mr. Crain aud the anti- Democrats are anxious and deter mined on this point.

JLx-uov. Gibbs, Col. Mills, the Houston Pnat ihn Nftwses. Texarkana Times, Houston Age, and a num ber or other recognized repreecn-toti-TA nnti nrnhibition naners and vhk i a ppeakers have bo frequently given utterance to such sentiments as this, that the Herald feels it to be the right of Prohibitionists to insist upon an expression from the leaders of that faction before the final test of strength. If it is their purpose, as so many declare, to ran nnt nf tliA Democratic nartv all pro-Democrats provided it is uieir privilege iu mo irauiuj then it would be manly and fear less in them to so declare; on the other hand, if It is not tneir intention or desire to create this rupture by such a plank or platform as Mr.

crain reiersioj or uiucnuu-nate aeaitist prohibitionists in the nominating conventions where they may nave ine power, men thAv nhmild rermdiate such utter ances as those above quoted. A 1 1 The antis eviuenny nope uy hio nnlinv of threats of ex-com- munication to avoid a discussion nfthn main issue, and to intimi date asnirinflr vounc men and wcftifPn tha knees of others al ready aligned with the advocates of the amendment; and they may tTiorahv win finmo votes and ex- tract trom tne natural Btrengiu yi 1L me promuiuouioiB, iwx many men who will sacrifice their eonvictions for the sake of politi- nl nrAfnrmPiitt lint the HeUALD'S lintiA fnr nrnhihition success lies in the belief that the 'friends of tiiia rimntitntional amendment are among the people and not among tho politicians, una we ppupvh mo thnt. tbr time will come, vca soon. when they, the people, the Demo cratic people oi Texas, win assert their strength in precinct and ward meetings and show the wonld-be Dolitical masters that they do not constitute the Demo matin nartv nf Taxas. The Republican party favored th anbmission of this constitu tinnal AmAndment.

the Democrat io state Convention at uaivesion HAp.ln.rAd nrohibition a non-parti can nneatinn; it war recommend ed by Democratic Governor Ross, and submitted to the people by over two-thirds of a largely Dem-Arattn 1 AmHldtnrp. and is favored bv three-fourths of the Democrat ic voters of Texas. And yet Gibbs and many other speakers and editors on that side, persist in declaring that prohibition is opposed to Democracy and it Democratic advocates will flnd themselves outside of the Democratic party at the next KtatA vpntion. These ultra antl Democratic maulers mav have the liauor traf fie at their back. but Texas Dem nnrfttn are.

hot all whiskyites. Let the Democratic people of Tatab hPAr in mind these threats. and if prohibition is defeated, let I where it belongs, and through nrimarv and countv meetines be at thn RiAt and District Con vention in strong force to witness the effort to "read them out" or make a platform committing the Democracy of Texas to the perpetuation of the whisky influence. Tho HEitAi.0 has consistently ad- hered to the non-partisan uociara-tiou of the Domocratio State Con vention, aud while we do not think tho assumption aud threats of these few professional politicians should be passed entirely unnoticed, we would counsel the people to keep in mind the main ssue, the abolition oi mo nquor traflic, tho suppression ot an in-fhinnfn wiiicli tfi ever for evil and never for anything good which costs so many oi our peopie me comforts of life, their health, hap-piuees, liberty, character, and Avon I ifn iiHnlf all for the advan tage of the men who sell the stuff.
