Woman's National Temper
anee Convention.

The following excellent resolution.
were submitted by Mrs. u. @. Wallace
Of Indiana, and adopted at the conven.
ton of the Woman's National Christian
Temperance Union, at Cincinnati, No
vember II, Is and 10:
WHEREAS. The survey Of the work accom-
plished through the agency of the Woman's Tenn
porance Unions the past year inspires our most
earnest and devout thanksgiving to God-our
deep establishment that we have not done more
and firm determination to work and pray unceas.
ingly for tho triumph Of our holy cause, until the
Kingdoms of this earth shall become the king
doms of our God and His Christ; therefore,
" Resolved, That the results of labor for the re-
clamation Of inebrates and the drinking CLASSES
convince us that great work has been and may
be done in this direction, and that nothing is too
hard for the Lord To this end we recommend
Gospel temperance prayer meetings, cheap lunch
and lodging houses, free reading rooms, Washing
tonian homes, temperance reform clubs, the cir
culation Of the pledge, and, above ALL continuous
individual effort with individuals, applying the
Gospel remedies, which cleanse from all sin.
"RssOlusd, That whereas prevention is better
than cure, and the hopo Of our country lies
eminently in the home training of the children,
and since temperance is Of the first Importance as
conservation Of the morals, strength, purity
and integrity OF our republic therefore we urge
the women Of America TO train their sons and
daughters in the cradle and around the home
affairs to forever abjure all that can intoxiyate.
" Resolved, That as the rum power is the great
est obstacle to the advancement Of the Christian
religion, we look to the ministry and churches Of
the land TO aid us in the prosecution of this great
work.
4" Resolved, That we recognize the existing
temperance organizations Of the land as fellow
workers, and pledge them our cordial sympathy
and cooperation.
=" Resolued, That realizing the precious reflex
blessings that have come to our hearts and homes
from engaging in this work of love, we urge
our sisters everywhere to cooperate with our
woman's Unions, and to unite with us in Danish
ing from our social circles and culinary prepara-
tions everything thst may engender the taste for
intoxicants.
" Resolved, That, as We deem the circulation Of
temperance literature Of the utmost Importance,

* Three colored men, Thompson,
Ellis and Weston, who murdered the ped
der Woissburg in Westchcster county,
N. Y. last September, were hung stimuli
taneously in the Tombs prison, New
YORK, last Friday morning. The muir
der was fairly proved upon these three
men, and on account Of It's shocking bru.
tality very little sympathy was wasted
upon the prisoners. But the details Of
the execution arc even more horrible and
barbarous than the original crime, while
the conduct OF the numerous spectators
who were admitted to crafty Il morbid
curiosity, was scarcely less revolving than
the principal tragedy. Can We suppose
feet desired for the diminution Of the
crime Of murder? 1t is, at least an open
question. And besides there is great un-
certainty Of convicting VIGOROUSLY guilty
parties, especially if their crimes were
committed under circumstances calcula.
ted to appeal to the popular sympathy.
The truth is, for the purposes for which
punishment is designed certainty of con
viction and mourning the penalty is far
more efficacious than severity. These
reflections, together with the feeling oil
doubt whether any being who cannot
give life has a right to take it, has led
many thinking people to question the
rightiuluess of the death penalty.
