For the reason that those forms in which truth,

THE NORTHWESTERN ADVOCATE. .'=-*~-~
A split in the temperance ranks threatens to,
grow out Of the question whether wine and beer
shall be put under ban Or not. The Kev. DI.
Thomas and several other Chicago diyiues, hop
ing to obtain the influence Of the Germans and
many others, geo no special need Of pushing =
crusade against these comparatively unintoxl-
eating beverages. But the more radical reform
era see nothing but evil in compromise Of tile
sort indicated. The horatoesae77s Adeocate
discussing the question, SAYS:
W. most earnestly denlnr. This temperance reform
is religious moral movement, and its success is
constantly threatened BY compromises. Heformess
te:nporzing propositions addressed to public ene1nie
This proposition to tolerate wine or beer is
exactly Analogous to =, tie oM at.en'Rt h.us' to

We claim rhat in this Temperance campaign we must
strike at The root Of the evil and ruin the alcoholic
vfnous and malt branches. Being moral reformers,

Bishop Potter replied by charging that DR..
Porteous had delivered comic lectures in non
