not yet, ln any State, proved 0 cure for drunkenness No law that has been en- acted for the suppression of dram-selling, even in States where special constabulary machinery has been institutedfor execut- ing. 1t has done so much for the endsought as this crusade has done. In Massach chusetts. the necessity of reform is1a urgent as in New York. Does any one suppose that theimoral power which the women wield to-day would be in their hands to wield if they held the ballot? Not bit of it. They are strong because they are not political. They are strong because they have no party to serve, no personal ambi- tions to push, no selfish ends to seek. If women had the ballot, how long is it to be supposed that this crusade would be without DO litical leadership and political perversion? If these women were the re- presentatives of political power, how much toleration would they receive at the hands of those whose interests they inn peril or destroy? What kind of treat mont would an office-holder have in their ranks? Would an office holder dare to be seen in thelr ranks at all? If woman had the ballot. such a crusade as this would simply be impossible. To respond that 1t would be unnecessary, is to trihe with the subject. Men would be obliged to execute whatever laws women might pass, under any circumstances, and they would execute tho laws passed through the votes of women no better than they do their own.
 Further, let it be witnessed, that the women who are doing the most of the work in this crusade never have asked for the ballot, and never will do so. They would regard the conferment of political suffrage upon them as calamity, and 1t would undoubtedly be calamity. It would rob them of their peculiar power-a power which all experience proves cannot be preserved too carefully. Woman can- not afford the ballot. It would tic her hands, weaken her influence, destroy her disinterestedness in tho treatment of all public questions, and open into tho beau tifnl realms of her moral power ten thou sand streams of weakness and corpora tion. The woman who recently said that this crusade means the ballot," proved only by that speech how poorly qualified she was to use ballot. She ought to have seen in the crusade something great CT than tho ballot-something almost in- finity above the poor machinery of poli- tics-something by the side of which the the ballot is only q toy. This crusade does not mean tho ballot; it means that woman docs not need the ballot, cannot afford to take tho ballot, will not have the ballot; and with this conviction lot all American society gratefully folicitate it. self.-Dy.

 Complimentary round trip tickets have been tendered to General Butler, Mir. Shapherd, MT.

Parties desiring to make the round trip will have extra accommodation. The entire voyage will be completed, and the passengers landed in New York again on the 14th of December, 1891. This is, at least, forty years quicker than any other comet can do it in. Nearly all the back pay members contemplate making the round trip with us in case their constituents will allow them holiday. Every harmless amusement will be allowed on board, but no pools permitted on the run of the con- et-no gambling of any kind.

The Jos.snol dc Roae,a mentions a dis coyery in an hospital at Chartres of great interest to the art public. The authori- ties of the hospital, wishing to adorn the hospital chapel. requested the curator of the Chartres Museum to select from among the old canvases relegated to the hospital lumber-soom those which, after some repairs, might be used for the Pur, pose. The curator accordingly aPphed himself to the task, and found four of from 9 to B feet in height, strong enough to be hung mp, and representing saints. HePro- ceed ed to clean them, and, while carefully washing them, noticed that new paintings
 had been laid over the moro primitive ones. He removed the false boards and additional draperies, and finished by ex- posing to light four mafnigcent canvases of Veronese, which are said to be genuine chef-P oesvre. The authorities of the hospital, not being able to make a present of these paintings, have lent them to the town of Chartres, and they are now placed in favorable position in the museum, where they attract daily crowds.

The Fall River Disaster.

The coroner's jury in the recent ter.
rible disaster at the Granite Mills, Fall
River, Mass, rendered their verdict
Saturday. They found that the fire
department was promptly on hand and
efficient, that the appliances for extin-
gushing fires in all the stories was in
good supply, though for some cause
water was lacking in the upper stories;
that ample means Of escape was pro-
vidcd from all the floors except the at.
tic, and that the large loss of life was in
great part due to neglect in not prompt
y giving the alarm to those in
the sixth story, as had such
an alarm been given the lives of all in
that story might have been saved. The
jury therefore find that the death Of
James Turner and the twenty.t two 9TH
ers was caused by being burned within
the mill or in jumping therefrom, with
out any censure upon the mill owners.
The report concludes as follows: "Let
the lesson not pass unheedcd, either by
millers or the public in general, that
human life is precious, in all means that
tend to save, particularly or generally.
the precious boon to the poorest mortal
has the sanction of all mankind. and an
example in him who died for all. -

TiltOn and M0llltOn Indicted Tor
Libel.

Henry Ward Beecher was before the
(grand jury Of New York Saturday an
swering questions from members of
that body in reference to published ar
ticles attacking his character. The in
dictment against Theodore Tilten for
libeling was then specified and read to
the latter, who said it was correct The
document sets forth that Theodore TIL
ton wickedly and maliciously, with in.
tent to injure and scandalize Rev. H.
W: Beecher in his good name, fame
and character, subjecting him to con-
tempt and disgrace, and to provoke
him and his friends to commit breach
Of the peace, published, on or about
Sept: 18th, or caused to be published, in
the Daily Graphic, and circulated in
Brooklyn and elsewhere, scandalous
and malicious li6cls concerning him.
The part Of the article referred to was
the alleged commission of adultery in
October. 1868, with Mrs. Tilton, and
asserting as to the doubtful paternity
of a child born the same year.
The Grand Jury also read to Beech.
er a second indictment against Frank
D. Moulton. 1t is worded similar to
that fonnd against Tilten, charging him
with libeling Beccher by causing pub.
licat;on Of false. malicious and slender
GUS report in the daily Graphic.
After Beecher left the Grand Jury
presented the indictment in the Court
Of Sessions and were discharged by
Judge Moore, who thanked them for
their services.
The news of this action created great
excitement in Brooklyn and New York.
It is stated that when Mr.. Beecher gave
his testimony he was in the highest de.
gree emphatic, and declared that the
allegations of Tilton and Moulton, with
reference to himself, Mrs. Tilton and
another lady, were atrocious falsehoods.
1t is also stated that Tilton's suit
against Beecher will not be commenced
before January, his counsel being de-
termined to do nothing until fully pre-
pared, so as not to lose the smallest
part of the great mass Of indubitable
evidence in their possession.

Plymouth Church, Brooklyn, wit.
messed remarkable scene Sunday, the
occasion being the return Of Mr.. Beech.
er to his pulpit from his summer vaca-
ton, and his first regular sermon since
the great scandal was brought so prom
inently before the public. The i'm
mense building was crowded to its ut
most capacity, even standing room be.
ing unottainable, thousands of persons
being unable to gain admission. The
walls and altar were profuscly
decorated, giving the church
a gay and pleasant appear
ance. Upon Mr.. Bcccher's appearance
he was greeted with vociferors hand
clapping and other demonstrations Of
qualification. He appeared in excellent
health and spirits. He spoke from the
subject: ''Ihy will be done,'' and
while Mr.. Beecher made no direct refer
ence to the scandal, his remarks found
a very specious defense Of sinners in
general and himself in particular. All
men, said Mr.. Beecher, are sinful by
the very reason Of their nature. There
is said to be no crime in the hawk, that
is hawk-like, nor in the dove that is
dove-like. Men require Divine aid.
The prime condition of mans being is
imperfection. Only God can properly
judge of the condition of each mans
soul. Death will remove all mystery.
Speaking Of the indictment against
Tilton and Moulton, the Brooklyn
Argus says the array Of counsel in the
Tilton case will be unusually large.
Roscoe Conkling has accepted retainer
and will sum up the case. VIM. NJ.
Evarts, B. F. Tracy, Jno. X. Porter,
W. 0. Bartlett, Jno. Graham and F. j.
Shcarman will assist Mr.. Conkling. The
list Of Tilton's counsel is said to be
complete. Senator Carpenter, of Wis
consin, D. Dougherty, of Ohio, and
David Dudley Field are mentioned.
Mr.. Meulton has secured Judge Fuller
ton, although Gen. Butler will take the
lead in the case and personally appear.
Mr.. Beach will most likely appear also.
It is thought the trial will take place
in a fortnight, and it will probably last
for five or six weeks.

The Centenary Church Troubles,
MINNEAPOLIS.

| Minneapolis.
The trouble in the Centenary NJ. E.
Church, Minneapolis, between Revs. J
+. Chaffec and Hollington, and other
members of the congregation, were car
ried to the NJ. E. Conference on series
of charges and specifications against
Mr.. Chafee. They charged Mr..
Chaffce:
First, with imprudent conduct on
three several occasions with women, ono
a notorious prostitute.
Second, 0; falsehood in church mat
ters.
Third, Of behaving wrongfully and
dishonesty in business transaction.
Fourth, Of unchristian and un.
ministerial conduct; and
Fifth, of stirring up strife among the
brethren and fomenting and promoting
dissensions in the church, and in con-
tinually and persisting interfering with
the interests and business of Centenary
Church in an illegitimatc and an un-
warranted manner.
EARLY in the session Of the Confer
ence these charges were referred to the
following committee: Revs. G. Brooks,
J. kerncs, N. A. Woodbridge, T. M.
Gossard, II. S. Hilton, j. L. Lewton, C.
L. Barkaloo, B. Phelps, c. NJ. Heard,
c. H. Savedge, c. Griswold, J. NJ. Ros-
ers, l.. N. Akers, S. Boles, N. Tainter,
and j. W. Lewis.
This committee considered the
charges with closed doors, being in ses-
sion eight days, the Conference remain
ing in session several days after its
regular business had been completed,
to hear their report, and found him
guilty of the first and fourth charges,
and not guilty of the second, third and
fifth, and recommended that mild
reproof be administered to Mr.. Chaffee,
by. the Bishop in open Conference.
From this firding Mr.. Chaffee appealed,
which carries the case to a judicial con-
ference. This conference is composed
of seven elders, presided over by a
Bishop, from whose decisions there is
no appeal. In the meantime Mr.. Chai.
fee is without a charge.
