Was held Wednesday night last in
Lyceum Hail, and highly Interesting
report Of the progress of the move
ment was read by Miss Smith, which
we publish in another column. Ex-
1t Gov. Cumback, entertained the
immense audience in an eloquent and
convincing speech on the duty of the
hour-to abolish the rum iend from
the land. with all its terrible train of
evils. Ii was good meeting, show
ing that the interest in the temperance
cause was not tagging in our city.
Whilst the ladies' continue their eff
forts in praying, let every man having
the cause at heart. do a little more
than ip-service'-see to it that the
grand jury be properly posted as to
violations Of the liquor law. Recol-
lect the jury meet Monday next-bear
this in mind, friends Let every one
work in the way he or she can effect
the most good, remembering the SEN
timent of the song:
1T may not be my way,
II may not be thy way,"
Bat RIGHT will triumph. Gro to the
meeting again to night, at Lyceum
Hall.

Mr. Carpenter, of Wisconsin, in
troduced, in the U. S. Senate,
Thursday last, a joint resolution
declaring that it had become the
duty of the United States to recog-
nize Cuba as one of the Independent
nations of the earth, and that the
United States will observe strict
neutrality between the contesting
parties. Referred to the committee
on Foreign Relations. The follow
ing is the full text of the joint reso-
luton:
Whereas, It is the clear and I'm
doubted right of any American
colony to sever its connection with
the mother country and establish
itself as an independent nation,
whenever the good of the people
requires; and
Whereas, The people of Cuba
have declared themselves free and
independent of Spain, have estab
lished a government for themselves,
and abolished negro slavery, and
for more than five years have sue
cessfully resisted all the efforts OF
Spain to reduce them to submission
and re- establish the condition OF
negro slavery in that island, and
where the war between Spain and
Cuba has been, and is now being
conducted with a degree of barba-
rity, shocking to all christendom
and there is no reasonable prospect
that Spain will ever be able to re.
establish it's dominion over the
people of Cuba, and
Whereas, In consequence of the
proximity of the seat of war to the
United States the war has been,
and is injurious to the intereste oil
the people of the United States,
and it is evident that a prolongation
of the contest will result only in
great suffering and bloodshed, to
be followed by the ultimate recog
milton IF the independence of Cuba
by Spain herself; therefore. be it

House of Representatives of the

The total amount which will be re-
ouired to nay all members of the
House under the new bill is estimated
at $40. 900, while, under the old law, it
was 1896. 900, saving of $50, 900 for
each Congress. The House deserves
the hearty thanks of the people for
this voluntary reduction.

the mileage question has passed illus

party toward fair and honest settle

corruption and extravaganza it has
done pretty we'll rs the record will

of Congress were paid forty cents =

capital. When the Republican party
obtained a majority: this rate was cut
down lust one-half The saving re.

500, 900 per annum. Members of
Congress certify to tbs number of
miles which they travel. 1t is strange
to note the discrepancies which arose
under this rule. The weaTy pilgrim

The National House of Representa-
tives deserves a long credit mark
Having criticised without hesitation
the action of Congress in passing the
bill to increase salaries, 1t gives US
pleasure to record move in the oppo-
site direction. This is all the more
praiseworthy for the reason that it
was not demanded, and the people had
seemingly acquiesced in the bill re-
storing the old law regarding salaries
and emoluments. On Wednesday
morning last, the House Committee
on Mileage reported bill abolishing
the mileage Of members and substitu-
ting actual travelling expenses instead,
which was promptly passed without
dobate-yeas, 1856; nays, 40.
In order that the new bill and the
necessity therefor may be thoroughly
understood, we give few facts regard
ing the past practice and the effect Of
the proposed Law. Under the old law
constructive mileage was allowed, and
the aggregate amount paid to men,
bers of the House for this purpose,
during the Forty-secOnd Congress,
was 1886, 557. go. By this law forty
four members received over 81 900 aud
less than $1,000 each; six members
received over $1,000 aud less than
$1,000; and five members received
over So, 900 and less than $4,000 each.
The others varied from 80 to $500
each. When the bill was passed in
creasing salaries, it was provided that
only actual travelling expenses should
be paid to members; and the result
for the first session Of the Forty third
Congress was, that 90, 476 81 covered
the entire expense. The Eve persons
receiving the highest sums under the

wise; wine which Solomon styles a
mocker. and which is alluded to by
one who is greater than Solomon as =
symbol of wrath. 1t were difficult TO
believe that this wine-the wine min
gled by harlo.s and soasht by liber-
tines-was the very wine which wis.,
dom iningles, to which wisdom invites,
wines which priests offered in sacri-
fee; evangelists dispensed at eommun-
ion-tables, AMI which, making glad
the heart of man, was a fit emblem Of
the mercies of God
Professor Moses Stuart says: My
FINAL conclusion Is this, that wherever
the Scriptures speak of wine as CON-
fort, blessing, or a fbation to God,
and rank it with such articles as corn
and oil, they mean, they can mean
only, such wine as contained DO alco-
hol that could have a mischievous
tendency, that wherever they de-
nounce it, prohibit it. and connect il
with drunkenness and revealing they
can mean only alcoholic or intoxiea-
ting wine"
Now, if these minority gentlemen
will use the expressed uniermented
juice of the grape temporarily and in
moderation, and totally abstain from
alcoholic wines as they do from the
attendance at gambling saloons, thea.
tres. ETC., we venture 10 suggest. that
they will act far more in accordance
With the true spirit and purport of The
Bible, than they are doing when the,
