LATEST NEWS FROM SAN DoMIN-
Go.-News has been received from
San Domingo to March 30. Mr..
st John, British consul general of
Port au Prince, has been ON q
tour of observation to SANTANA
Bay, in her majesty's ship Wood
lark, and had afterwards visited
San Domingo with propositions
from Haytien government for a
treaty between the two republics.
Among the candidates of the
proposed treaty, it is said, were
the cession of Hayti, OF the dis
puted Territory on the frontier,
and the annulment of the SANTANA
Bay agreement made with citizens
of the United States. These con
dItions being admitted by the
Dominican government, Hayti or
England was to loan q considera-
BILE sum to San Domingo, payable
at convenience and without inter
est.
The special commission of the
SANTANA Bay company has not sue
ceeded in obtaining an amicable
settlement of the questions pend
ing between the government and
the company, and the provisional
government has declared the
SANTANA Bay convention null and
void. The commissioners have
protested against this summary
act as arbitrary and illegal, and in:
stigated by British Haytien infiu,
ence, and demand arbitration up
on the matter in dispute accord

a POLITICAL REVIVAL. :

Under the above head the juno
ton City Union has expressed some
very good, as well as witty thoughts.
We are so fully agreed with Prem
tbs that we copy few of his best
words. TIf revival of the Demo
cratic party is better than q new
one let us have the revival. We
care but little from what source, or
under what name the opposition
comes. Let US have it from some
party. The Union says:
We would not gard the revival
of the Democrat party as an I'M
mixed evil. In fact we are not sure
that it would not be a benefit.
There are not Offices enough for all
the men in the Republican party
who want offices, and there ought
to be another party for such to go
into and try their luck. These, ad-
ded to the old Democrats who have
never given up the name, would
make o good sized party to start
withs 1t would make q fair crowd,
even here in Kansas.
We think that the effect on the
Republican party of being obliged
10 meet everywhere combined and
powerful opposition, marshalled
under an ancient name, would be
good. IL would stop, in many To-
calities, the practice of pampering
rascals and coddling fools. It
would force Republicans every
whore either to bring ont their
best men, or get whipped. It
would heal divisions in many To-
calities, force towards and shysters
to take sides, to ''pUt up or shut up. !"
But, best of ali, it would stop the
flow OF the most sickening political
cant that has ever deiuged any
country.

Congressman Cobb made q tenn.
perance speech in Baltimore a short
time ago. lie expressed sympathy
for the drunkard, but he gave the
dealer his "portion in due season.
We quote his closing words:
"But to him who holds the cup
to his brothers lips, that he may
reap profit from his brothers mis-
fortune, let there be none of this.
For him let the sword of Justice be
unsheathed with an inexorable pur-
pose. Against this legislate and
compel him to obey and respect the
law. Against him pray, and if he
blaspheme in return, help God TO
punish him for his blasphemy.
Help of this kind God will appre-
ciate, and It will be nowhere aIniss.
Against him let the women siEg
and pray, and if he insult or offend
them, summon the chivalry of your
nature, and make it the saddest act
of his Infamous life to have so Of
Tended. A psrian, prosecute him
socially, morally, politically and re-
Iigiousiy. Pursue him to the ends
of the earth with the anGtJtemG
gsaraRathd OF society, till like Cain,
he cries out fnat i.is punishment is
greater than he can bear. Make it
as il is in fact, to be q deal
er in Intoxicating liquors. Then it
will soon become infamous to drink
intoxicating liquors. When it is
both infamous TO driak and deal in
the poison, yon have the aBtidote
which dispels the evil"

.REsDLuTMS.. On TEMPERANCE.

For years the Annual Conferences
of the M. E. Church have appoint
cd. among other committees, a
committee on temperance. at the
session of the Kansas conference
held at Alehison, which closed this
week, that committee presented at
an unusually early hour the follow
ing resolutions, which were adopted
by an unanimous rising vote. II is
an easy matter TO locate those
Methodist preachers Oh the excit-
ing question of the day.
Resolred, That ne repudiate the
theory of licensing any crime, and
regarding the liquor traffic as
crime against God and society, we
record ourselves as emphaiically
opposed to the whole licensed sys-
TEN, and insist that the liquor bus
mess shal stand or fall upon its
own merits, without having the
discriminating protection of law
thrown around it.
Resolved, That we are in favor of
the passage of a national law for
ever prohibiting the importation of
fermented liquors from other coun-
tales, and also their manufacture and
sale in the territories of the United
States and the District of Column
bia and that we are in favor of an
amendment to the Constitution oil
the United States forever prohibit
ing the nanufacture, importation,
and sale 81 alcoholic liquors in all
the States and Territories of the
Union; and we hereby petition
Congress for such legislation.
Resolred, We rejoice to know
that the attention OF the Nationa
, Congress has been directed to thi.
giant evil in a request 10 appoint {

s affirmative, and we hereby assur
: him and other representatives C
the people, that they will receiV
our most earnest endorsement i
. every effort they may make to ur

Resoloed, That we regard the VI
i, rising of the christian women {
i Ohio, and elsewhere, against the Il
g quor traffic as the voice of God t
the mothers, wives and daughter
! of the country, bidding them arts
u in the strength of God and g

PUBLIC SENTIMENTAL would be
well for US to stop, or think as we
run, about what a power is public
sentiment. There IS nothing like it
in this free land. Public sentiment
rules everywhere, among all class
es, with a rod of iron. "What viii
the people say?" is the question of
policy. We too often make it the
rule of action. We are all, more or
lees, influenced by it. Occasionally
some one stands up and makes q
thrust at the policy of counting
public favor; but all kinds of men
and women are governed in their
general course of life, to some ex-
tent, by what their neighbors think
and say. We dress by this rule.
We build by it. We talk with the
fear of public ears before our eyes.
We walk by the same rule. We do
and say many things we should not,
because of what we suppose to be
public opinion.
This power, like every other, is
an engine with which we can drive
the wheels of good, or the train of
evil. Public sentiment eau elevate
or lower the moral sentiment in
community as nothing else can. A
majority of The people can frown
down vice and immortality, or by
winking at crime can make it in
some sense, respectable. If great
majority of our people will unite in
their opposition to any vice they can
drive it out of town. If we toIer-
ate crime, i'll any sense, it Is useless
to pass ordinances against it; for
they cannot be enforced. 1t takes
strong public sentiment to enforce
law. Law is powerless in the
hands of officers who are not up
held by the people. Why is it that
the fsocial evil" has to skulk off in
to dark corners for even q misera-
BILE existence? Because men and
women frown upon it. City coun-
ellis and legislatures cannot PASS
laws to regulate it, without rails
ing hue and cry all over the land.
Why is it that gilded saloons ap-
pear on our main streets, and
drunkenness stalks forth in day.
light? Because we, the people, toll
crate these things. 1t is well e.
nough for US to look this matter
square in the face. A little .toning
up in public sentiment is necessary
to save our city from saloons and
drunkenness. The men must make
the rum Iselier feel that his iniq-
uitous business makes him an out
cast. The women must make the
tippler feel that no dram drinker
can inherit the society of good wo-
men. We must unite and frown
upon this whole business until it
retires to its native hell.
