These are good men. DR.. Brown, the
u. w. L. Is OF Charlottesville, and a
man OF ceaseless devotion to the tenn
perance cause. He Is physician of
long practice and Of undoubted skill, but
does not acknowledge alcohol as
medical agent. He contends that It's
effects are evil-and only evil, whether
to the diseased or the healthy system.
And We have no doubt that when the
present generation of drunken quacks
die of, who are running and killing thou
sands by recommending alcoholic ard
mineral poison as beneficial to the hui
man stomach, that the sentiments Of DR..
Brown will universally prevail. That
will be glorious era for diseased and
suffering humanity. DR.. Brown Is n
brother to w. j. Brown OF the Sentinel.
and Is exactly his counte rpart in politics,
morals, and In responsibility. In fact,
strange rs IL may appear to some, DR..
Brown Is very respectable man.
The Temperance Chart, which has
been published two years by the Grand
Division has beena losing concern, H.
nancially. No one was particularly in
terested In Is prosperity, except to draw
upon its funds. BY resolution, the Grand
Division threw IL of, no longer TO fee d
pensioners upon is funds, and appointed
a committee TO let Il out to private en-
terprIse. A committee. consisting OF G.
+. Clarkson Of Brookyille, Il. II. Barry
Of Rushville, Il II. NJ. Berry OF Milroy,
G.. Woodward Of indianapolis, and DR..
Brown of Craw louisville, was appointed
TO make arrangements for It's future pub
LEGATION. For this purpose they will
receive bids for II till the 10Th day OF
November, and the commit &c will meet
at Rushville on the 18th To determine on
the bids. Tne Chart il indebted some
500 10 lis subscribers and probably Us
much more to the Grand DIVISION
This Is owing to want Of mana cement
and lack OF energy In pushing Il forward
And II ever will be SO, until some one Is
interested In II. Other papers with
from 500 10 100 subscribers, at 4 90 per
year, pay expenses, and support the ed
ito-s. We have plenty o. cases Of this
kind all around US. But the Chart with
from 1880 to 5000 subscribers has been
a sinking concern. This. however. is the
situation OF oil newspapers that are pub
lished by committees, by churches or So
cieties. II the Western Christian Adj
vocate, for instance were in private ha ids
I II would be better paper aud would net

to tell. No private enterest nerves lis
publisher, or its numerous editors and
clerks. But we are DEPRESSING.
There never was more harmonious
session Of the Grand Division, nor more
unity Of sentiment as TO the future action
OF temperance men. No dispute about
platforms. And while We yield none d
our Efforts ut moral suasion for the un'
fortunate drunkard, and TO aid In form.
ing correct moral sentiment, all are fol
bringing TO our aid legal force 10 re-
strain the whiskcy maker and the Wills
key seller. They are men that can sell
dom be reached Wy kindness or reason.--
We are for contending aud using all IN,
political, moral, social and legal meanI
that we possess to stay the devastating
vice OF intemperance. This was fully
expressed in speeches resolutions, ans
especially In the Report Of the State o
the Order.

The next session Of the Grand Dlyis

the intention OF the Sons there TO make
a demonstration In that whiskey curscl

that they drink ony more at Lawrence

towns,yot fall the consequences Of theil
labor are TO follow them 10 tho cterna
world, of which We have no doubt, foar
