DAN. MUM said, In hi, court
house speech, that two years ago Oberly
stood in the very doorway OF the Radical
fold, rs Linsgar now does upon the ,hre'h-
old OF Democracy; but that Oberly went
back, a. LiaegAr is certain to do. We be
lievs Mr.. Linegsr to be acting conscien
tiously-that he has been moved by prin
ciple, and . sovereign disgust for Rsdca
rottenness. As to tho supposed disahec-
tion Of M. Oberly, that unos.enta.ious
Individual has to cay that his course in
politics has been straightforward and
consistent. If at any time he has de-
nouncsd the shortcomings Of the Democ.
racy he felt that he was only chAstising
that which he loved. He recalls n politi-
cal sins, and consequently will do no party
psnance. When Democratic sluggards
reach Mr.. O.s political plane. tongues
will applaud, which now denounce
him.

Ar Issst two Cairo gentlemen who, 10

and worked industriously for Capt. Isaac

that, siren thened by tho accession Of the

victories in Indiana, Ohio and elsewhere,

"OuR DAN" by which is meant Hon.
d. w. Mum, expressed the belief, in his
Monday night speech, that d. T. Linegsr,
now acting with the Democratic party,
would be constantly miserable until he
rs-sspoused the congsnisl faith OF the Re
publican party. Mr.. Mum mistakes his
man. Linegar acts from principle AND
not impulse. His most congenial com
panions he has always found among Dem.
ocrau, and now that the democracy
stands abreast with the questions OF the
day-hAs become purified in exact proper
zion with the growing corruption Of the
Radical party, he is perfectly at home
and will, in November, 1876, with 1000
900 other patriots, rejoice over the election
OF Q Democratic president.

ment is uncertain. A year ago politi.
cal combination displaced old NJ. Thiers
from the Presidency and put in his
place Marshal Mcmahon for term Of
seven years. Already Mcmahon is left
without majority in the Assembly to
sustain him. What will be the next
step by that volatile and passionate
people no one can predict.
Henry V. of the old legitimists is
watching and waiting for a chance to
the throne. Napoleon " is also wait
ing to get into his fathers old place,
while Mcmahon will hold out his seven
years if he can. So the world goes.
ENGLAND has as much as she can do
to keep down revolt among the laboripg
class.
This is continuation of the old con-
tlct Of Labor against Capital. If we
reco]lect rightly, though few can remem-
Der so long, this contest commenced
between Jacob and Laban.
And Jacob loved Rachel and said
l. viii! serve thee seven years for Rach-
el thy younger daughter"
"And Laban said abide with me-"
Jacob acted honorably and served out
the seven years, but the old gentleman
tricked him, and he was forced to serve
seven more years before he got his be-
loved Rachel
Laban was the rich capitalist Of the
day. Rich in lands, aocks, herds and
power.
Jacob represented helpless Laban.
Jacob complains.
"Thus have I been twenty years in
thy house I served thee fourteen for
thy two daughters, and six for thy cat
tie, and thou hast changed my wages ten
times"
But he didn't sit down and growl
with helpless despair, but went to work
like sensible man, and came out all
right.
1t now is, and always has been, the
natural tendency of capital to encroach
upon the rights of labor.
Labor INDUCES in long sleeps of pas.
sive resistance. Capital never does.
The resistance of labor is seldom con-
centrated. Capital is at all times pre-
pared to act as unit wherever labor
offers serious resistance.
Labor acts spasmodically, then falls
into stupor az it did in the English
Revolution, the American Revolution.
1776, and the French Revolution, 1898.
1t has been in somnolent state in our
country since 1872.
Centralized capital draws to itself all
political power. 1t imposes heavy tax
es to keep the poor helpless and weak.
1t uses the taxes to strengthen the al
ready strong. 1t takes armies into pay
and controls the press.
Capital has been crystalizing about
the capitol at Washington for many a
year with but little or no resistance.
The annual expenses have risen from
$50. 100000 to $400,00O,0OO.
The way things look now, it is doubt
full if the people gain as much, in herds
and cattle, as Jacob did after twenty
years. servitude.
SPA1N.-Since the defeat of Don
Carlos at Bilboa Marshal Serrano has
the kingdom of Spain in his own hands.
1t begins to look now as if the days of
the old Bourbon family were numbered.
They have been driven from Italy, from
France and Spain. Their lease of pow
er was long, bloody and mercilessly tyr.
annical. Millions Of money has gone
and still goes from America to restore
this bloody race to power. 1t is con-
tributed under the name of supporting
the national religion.

THE Temperance women Of this city
have organized League and adopted a
Constitution having the following Pream-
BILE:
In view of the enormity of the liquor
traffic, the wide spread and fearful ravaees
OF lntemperance in our land, and the con-
sequent misery of thousands of our own
sex, we deem it the right and duty of every
woman as member of the home circle
winch IS so often and so ruthlessly invaded.
as member Of society, and as being who
must give an account Of her stewardship to
GOD who is no respecter of persons, to
use all the influence she possesses, or NAV
consistently obtain, in the cause of Temper-
ance.
When women are mobbed for presenting
petitions to men as in Chicago, when they
are stoned for offering prayer to God, az
In Cleveland, when they are everywhere
treated as if they have no business to Mead
or protest, in matters that concern them
most deeply, it is time to consider whether
they have all the rights which are neces-
sary for the protection of themselves and
the children which God may give them.
We are told that home is woman's sphere
yet, as Christian women, we cannot QUIET
ly settle down in happy homes without a
desire to remove the destroyer that is max
ing so many Of our sisters homeless.
We realize that the responsibility of
motherhood is very great, but, while it
modlhes, it cannot cancel ones obligations
as wife, sister. daughter or friend.
By the depth Of maternal tenderness and
solicitude, by the strength of wifely devo
tion, fillial affection and sisterly love, and
also by our loyalty to the Government of
the United States, we claim the ripht to
protest and petition against the sale of in
toxicating liquors, and we call upon all
honorable men to say that our petitions
shall not be disregarded.
