The Tribune on Women and Wine.

The Tribune lectures the Methodist Cen
eral Conference now in session at Brook
Ign as follows:
The point to which we look with III
terest i'll this Conference is the action 1t
may take upon the practical, vital move
ments of reform belonging to to-day.
Among the committees we note that upon
the work for Freedom and Indian Missions
with especial satisfaction; but there are
other reforms which call for equal atten-
ton: Both the Episcopalians and Friends
in their last authoritative utterances as
churches took hold boldly of the subject
OF Woman's work and temperance. The
Methodists, who usually are first to come
to hand to hand fight with any OF the
live Satans about them, ought not to shut
their eyes to these present foremost issues
in social life. They have already waged
long warfare against drunkenness, and
they should be first to perceive the new
movement by which that destroyer of our
national life is threatened in the flank.
Women have always been admitted to

fairs.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-The Committee on
Naval Affairs will hold meeting tomorrow
night to arrange their business previous to ask
king the House to set aside an evening next
week for the consideration of the various bills
that are already prepared by them, but which
they have not yet had an opportunity of report
ing to the House Among these measures is a
bill providing for the construction of ten
steamers as suggested by the Committee on
Foreign Affairs and apart from any recon-
mendation of the Secretary of the Navy in his
annual report. Not only the Committee on
Naval Affairs but distinguished officers of the
Navy heretofore consulted by the committee,
together with the Secretary of the Navy, are
fully impressed with the necessity of an eff
cient navy, as our present force is inadequate
for the extended service in case of emer-
gency.
Besides, it is said among public men that our
relations with Spain are of such character as
to suggest preparations not leading to war, but
TO the protection of the rights of citizens of the
United States. 1t is known that our Minister to
Madrid will soon be withdrawn and no sue
cessor will be appointed until, as was recently
said by high executive officer, Spain shall be
more disposed than she is now, to act with JUS
tce and according to the treaty obligations.
Although war is not regarded as even probable,
there is an increasing desire that our navy
should be placed in an efficient condition, and
therefore, the authorities here may, before long,
issue orders to the several navy yards to place
all our available vessels in a ea-going condi-
ton.
The United States and Spanish Claims Com
mission, although organized more than six
months ago, have as yet decided no cases, there
being delays in consequence of difficulty in
procuring proofs. The United States having
proposed that mode of settling claims of citi-
zens of the United States growing out of the
rebellion in Cuba, there can be no disagreement
on this point but there are other questions, in
Guiding that pertaining to DR.. Howard, which
may cause further irritation to give occasion for
more determined policy toward Spain.

MesSrs. Baehman and Coonrod had a
little spat over the office. COOnrOd
wanted George to have it bat he de-
eIined. This caused the hair Of
CoonrOd TO to stand upright upon his
head with establishment. He had
been a Democrat all his life-longer
than since he became u "mature
man." and never knew a Democrat to
refuse an Office before. Here was
something wrong, and he proceeded
to make a speech, insisting upon
George taking the Office. When
Baehman pIayfulIy told him the Of
fee did not pay, and therefore he did
not want il, then COOnrOd's eyes
were opened Is to why q Democrat
could decline. But he insisted, and
George had to submit.
w. II. Van Fleet was reDOminated
for Coroner.
This ended the Convention. The
attendance was good, but there was
no enthusiasm. We did not discover
any Liberal Republicans in the Con-
vention, but we suppose the ticket is
composed Of liberal fellows. Gree
Iey's name was not mentioned once
and the leaders Of the party would
not allow it to be. The COMMITTEES
on resolutions were requested not tc
name Greeley or anything els'
specially, all Of which they did to
perfection. If the convention is sat

willing to LET it go before the people

Even in political matters it IS al
ways best to be sure of the man you
are talking to, as the following shows {:
A gentleman of this city dropped
into a reading room of a hotel recent
ly, and while sitting there a conver-
sation upon politics grew up between
himself and a stranger who was stop
ping at the hotel. Now, our Dayton
friend, we should explain, is blessed
with a nose of exceedingly roseate
hue. The stranger soon began a IL
rade of abuse against the administra-
ton; he denounced President Grant
as both knave and fool, and asser-
ted that our whole government was a
very eesspOol Of corruption.
Our friend OF the rubieund nasal or
gan heard him through, then rising
from his chair he ast0nished the
stranger by laying his finger upon his
fiery red nose and remarking: "See
here stranger, Pm not a Democrat ;
that's q boil. ."-DGytOn Journal,

WHAT IS SURRTO FOLLOW.

Democratic Liberalites grow elO-
quent over the results which will fol-
low the defeat of President Grant.
"The South will embrace the North,
and peace and goodwill reign every
where.D BY what means this "peace
and goodwill" are to be brought
about in the South may be judged by
the means employed in the past. The
Presidential election of 1865 in the
State of Louisiana affords gleam of
light on this subject. The Democrats
wanted to carry the election. AS they
could not Outvote the Republicans
they determined to kill them off.
How well they succeeded may be
learned from the report of the COM
mittee appointed to investigate the
affair. We quote;
"The testimony shows that over two
thousand persons were killed, wOun-
ded and otherwise injured in that
state, within few weeks prior to the
Presldentlal election; that half of the
state was OVerrun by violence: that
midnight raids, secret murders, ana
open riots kept the people in constant
terror until the Republicans surren-
dered all claims, and then the elec-
ton was carried by the Democracy"
1t says of the riot in the parish OF
st. Landry:
"EIere occurred one of the blOodiest
riots on record, in which the Ku-Klux
killed and wounded over two hun
dred Republicans in two days. A pile
of twenty-five bodies of the victims
was found half buried in the woods.
The Ku-KluX captured the masses,
marked them with badges of red fan
mel, enrolled them in clubs, marched
them to the polls, and made them
vote the Democratic ticket"
This is not fiction, but words OF
truth from an impartial report. This
is "the peace and goodwill" which
would follow the defeat of President
Grant; these are the 'Liberal" rights
which would be allowed theloyal eiti-
zen.

SET ,EN UP.

Saturday evening last the Demo
cratic Ward Caucuses were held in this
city for the purpose ofappOinting dele
gates to the County and COngression-
al Conventions. As for the County
delegates, all IandCn men were Sc
lected. We wish, however, to refer
more especially to the Congressional
delegates.
w. P. Noble and w. w. Armstrong
are both candidates for this position,
and the talents of the latter as Ward
politician and packer Of conventions
stand out brilliantly in contrast with
those Of his opponent. Armstrong
got an unbroken delegation in every
Ward except the ID, which appointed
Noble delegates.
To give an idea Of how Armstrong
had it fixed up in the Wards, we re-
port the action Of the 1st Ward eau
Gus. When the Caucus reached the
Congressional delegates, some eightor
ten were announced and q motion
was passed that they be selected by
ballot, the three receiving the highest
number of votes to be considered duly
accredited delegates. Judge Seney
was presiding and he suggested that
some one go for paper to be used for
writing ballots on. A gentleman
went out and procured several quires
of legal cap-enOugh to make thou
sand ballots at least. The Judge then
ordered the voting to commence.
Thereupon, with precision of action
that would have done credit TO thor
oughly drilled soldiers, some forty
seven hands descended into fOrty-sev-
en- pockets and drew therefrom forty
seven tickets; forty-seven delegates
then cast the fOrty-seven ballots thus
extracted and the work was done.
While these invincible forty-seven
were doing their voting, seven or
eight-who were not considered in the
ring-wrote and voted tickets Of their
own, using a quarter sheet Of the sew
eral quires Of paper that had been pro-
cured. Then followed the counting
out, which was a trifie monotonous.
The Secretary read sc. E. Seney, P.
Ryan, F. j.. Wagner" forty-seven
times, while the seven or eight tick
cts with other names we're sandwich.
ed in. The result explained the una
nimity with which the forty-seven
had voted, and that the tricks of the
f.Heathen Chinee" were nothing to
those ofa Democrat intent on Office.
1t was all very laughable, but the fun
niest of the whole = afsair was the child
like and bland action Of Judge Seney.
He occupied the CHAIR as President,
and to have seen him, ,one would sup
posed that he did not know that the
eanous was set up. The expression of
innocence on his eountenanee was
equal to that of Horace Greeley-was
almost heavenly. He did it well, but
everybody knows he is always ready
to prevent Noble rising above him in
honor.
We wish all parties much joy in
this business and hope it may be made
to pay.
