personal grief so universal and sincere
as the last rites over the remains of the
Senator who has so long and so nobly
represented Massachusetts, in the Senate.
1t was not merely thronged and snowy
funeral, at which the set forms of obitu-
airy ceremony were enacted, there was
i'm the hearts of that vast crowd a sense
of real unaffected sorrow, general feel
ing of grief as of a great and irrepara-
BILE loss. The long procession of emf
nent colored citizens, and near the de-
voted colleagues of the deceased, the
men like Sherman and SchurZ and
Anthony, felt keenly the depth OF their
own and the nations bereavement. It
was such funeral as few Americans
have ever received and answers more
eloquently than any possible eulogy
could have done the charge that Senator
Summer was man of theories and had
no hold upon the popular heart. There
was with all this something sad In the
utter dissolution of domestic ties amid
which the great Senator died. His ply
sicians, his personal friends and his de-
voted household servants alone soothed
him i'm his last momonts. No parent or
wife or other relative closed his eyes or
followed his coffin. His one surviving
relatives lady-resides in California,
too far away to be summoned to his
death bed or to his funeral. He was
literally public man, the son and SER
| want of the government. But notwith-
standing all this he was followed to the
grave by mourners as sorrowful and
sincere as have ever testified their ap-
probation of a valuable and well spent
life.
Whilst the women are fighting beer
and other liquor traffic, there is trouble
in the beer camp among its own defend
ers. IN Chicago the beer-drinkers, and
beer-seflers, and beer-brewers form three
different interests, and just now trian-
gular fight is going on. The brewers
| want more money for their beer; the
drinkers want more beer for their mon
| ey. The saloon-keepers oppose the
brewers on the one hand and the drink
ers on the other. They say the brewer
is swindling them by putting less beer
In the barrels, and the drinker complains
that the aloon-keepers is making his
glasses smaller. 1t Is hard.

| The women of Worcester, pereist in
their determination not to adopt the
Western style of street parades and for
NAL besiegement of liquor saloons. Dio
Lewis and the Rev. Mr.. Cheever have
labored to shake their determination
but in vain. The women are headed
lby Mrs. Clifford, highly esteemed
Quaker lady, who believes in quietel
modes of procedure than prevail ou
West. An executive committee of wo
men has been formed, representing al
the denominations, including Episcopa
and Roman Catholic, and all the clergy
men but one are represented as favorint
the programme determined on. Th'
plan is to, district the city and appoin
small committees of women who vii
circulate pledges and bring personal ef
fort to bear upon individuals. TIL
owners of places where liquors are sold
and the vendors of liquors are to b
visited at their homes or places Of busi
ness and personal appeals made, second
ed with such exhortations, prayers, etc
as the spirit of the occasion may promp,
prayerfully waiting upon the Lord t
direct. This course is not so sensation
al as the prevailing style, but there
more probability of its achieving. a
least partial success.
