JOURNAL'S VIEW. ,, Tbe severe .criticism of Congress­ man Htldebrant hy the Spring Yelley Blade-because he has caused to be established more mail routes in Clin ton county than -in the other counties of the district is most unjust; The Sixth District never had a ' harder working Representative nor one who was more concerned in the welfare ot all his constituents than is our present member o f tbe House, and to accuse him of being a “ one county Coogrew man” is. to accuse him falsely/ Ail routes in tbe district can not t/e laid out At once, and while it is trite that so far Clinton county has more than others, yet about thirty-five have been secured id the district, and .nex t to Clinton, Greene has the most, so the Blade cannot charge that Greene lias been ignored. Give Mr# Hildebrant and the Postoffice Department a little time and -every county will be equally well provided for. But we cannot think that the Blade is so deeply con serned in mail routes. A suspicion lurks- that our friend is disgruntled over something else. Is it possible that the Spring Valley poetoffice is tbe milk In the cocoanut?—-Wilraing ton Journal# CARD OF THANKS.

' When theforegoing was written , the situation wascorerea as i t exist­ ed a week ag», hat since then there hfts been a wonderful change. Tne a-ivocatesofthe temperance meftanies •have received a decided act pack. Ip was supposed that the Beal bill would pass the house without much, of a. fighybufc voters itt the general assem-’ biy and voters a t large appreciate the fact that there are two,sides to all questions, and before passing, judgment ‘the so-called ’ temperance bPSls will be thoronghly discussed. . ' ,. . «. • .» ,. * *' The Beal bill, whicfiT, contemplated giving * local option in cities and towns, was thoroughly discussed a t a meeting of the tesnperquee pomsoft- tee, and the result is that the advo­ cates of the measure have made a. complete change of fronts and with­ out hearing from the opposition.. The* Beal Mlt proposed, a special election 1in wards of cities on ■petition of 40 per cent of the'voters;,and a special eleettos to. smaller towtm o a peation Of 26 p s t cent of the voters'. ' The ward feature has. been wholly abandoned hy the temperance 'advo­ cates, and it js said now that they propose to amend the measure so th a t an .election shall be held to any municipality if 40 per cent* of the voters petition therefor. It is Inti­ mated that another hill wilt be Intro­ duced later which will provide that a ward shall go "dry" if SI per cent of th e voters shall petition. “ ReV. Thomas Clark, Ox-member of the legislature and . author, of the' Clark bill, which was defeated two years ago, spoke to the temperance coinniittee.oHe said the contemplated measures Were not prohibitive, and that it was hoped they would help the temperance cause. His arraign­ ment of the American saloon was se­ vere, his statements creating,a sen­ sation. i *'/ • ' » « * . * The press of the Slate Is taking a hand to the temperance Sght, and much to the surprise of many, people, numbers of tbe leading papers have advanced arguments against the pro­ posed’ biffs. The Toledo Times re­ cently printed this editorial: . > “The Times has. believed and be­ lieves still that temperance legisla­ tion ought to be along more practical lines—that the saloon ought to be kept out of a residence community by ' vigorous restrictions surrounding its establishment instead of being driven out after it Is entrenched-* A number of states have illustrated for nft most, effectively, how this may herdene, And we may well learn from them.the efllelentmeahsof regulation. The Beal bill may do some good and probably Will, but It Is, after'all, only* another of the sort of measures which, after Jt Is on .the statute books, a t most daces will find poor executors to see to the ettforcemeftt of its provisions. Ohio has many such laws and It seems poor policy to add to them." * * * The attitude of ihe antl-Saloon peo­ ple is generally accepted as being an acknowledgment of their signal, de­ feat. They admit they could not pass the measures as drawn and they pro­ pose to amend-them. This means that ,the fight will bo prolonged to the general assembly* The temperance committee of the housewillhave hearing this week and announce that the pp-jpoftitlon will be left open for some time.
