An animated canvass in n State that has
never been carried by the Democrats is some
thing of an anomaly. But the Vermont Re-
publcans are wise in their generation. There
is nothing that succeeds like success, and tho
momentum that viii be gained by an over
whelming victory among the Green Mountains
next Tuesday will carry the Republicans
long way forward in the national campaign.
The canvass has been conducted systematically
and judiciously. although on lower level than
might have been chosen. The Republicans
have higher ground than their opponents.
They ought to intrench themselves upon it,
and force the fighting on a plane where they
have all the advantages of position.
Our Washington correspondent gives us a
peep into the domestic lodges of some men,
bers of Congress, and elucidates the way in
which they secure good house-servants some
what at the public expense. Our chief impress
sion in reading what he has TO say about it is
that the phases of patronage are not to be
enumerated, and that of place trickery there
is no end. The members OF Congress who
believe that the whole Republic belongs TO
them are becoming more and more common.

Il weli-meaning horse created a great
panic ia church at Hyannis, Mass,
on Sunday, and broke up the service
by running against the side of the
building from fright at n fash of
lightning. The audience thought the
church had been struck by lightning,
and made rush for the door, and,
when the mistake was discovered. the
preacher thought his hearers were too
much scared to receive much good, and
dismissed them.

SOCIAL VIRTUE DEGREE.
This degree was formed i'll April,
1876, out Of the two degrees formerly
known as the Social Circle and Royal
Virtue degrees. 1t embodies the
best elements of both degrees, and
does away with the few Objectionable
features which had been left in each.
Its name indicates its character. 1t
insnres the kindly recognition and
fraternal greeting of all it's members.
A man may be poor, woman may
be plain, but have they the soul of a
true manhood? That entities them to
our respect and friendship. If one
is worthy of membership in this de-
gree, he is worthy the confidence of
his companions, and should have it.
Unless the members forget their
solemn vows, they can never treat
each other in any way but kindly.

OLYMPIA, SATURDAY MORNING. DEC. t6, 1876.
The Situation.

The general tenor of the eastern
dispatches indicate a determination
on the part of the Republican mama
gers to carry out the desperate pro-
gramme announced before election, to
the very letter. 1t appears that no
sense of justice is sufficient to deter
them in their mad course, and that
they have deliberately resolved to
ruin if they cannot rulo the country.
Before the election they announced
determination to count out sufficient
electoral votes to defeat Tilden, after
election they do so, and now when
it is discovered that there is remedy
in Congress for the fragrant outrage,
they cody announce that the Senate
will usurp all powers of legislation
and declare the result in confol nifty
with the programme arranged by
Zach Chandler and his infamous ring.
In view of this determination to sub
vert the popular villa revolutionary
proceeding, which practically ends
tho governmental the Democrats OF
several of the leading States have
taken measures for a general express
sion of the people en- the rights,
duties and privileges of citizenship in
the present emergency. A resolution
was recently adopted by the State
Central Committee of Ohio, recon-
mending conventions to be held on the
23d inst, composed of people re-
CARELESS of past political opinions
and affiliations, to select delegates to
q State Convention, which will con-
vene on the 9Th of January to con-
slider public affairs, and take such
action as will secure the full execu-
ton of the constitution and the laws.
It is thought that other States will
take similar action, and that large
proportion of the Republican party
will unite in the movement. 1t GER
tainly has not come to pass that the
patriotism of the past century has all
at once departed, or been supplanted
by narrow partisan feeling which
seeks humiliation rather than defeat.
We have too much confidence in the
American people to believe it. When
the voice of the masses can be heard,
it will be unquali6edly for the perpet-
uation of free institutions and free
government.

Champions of the Red Cross.

Our readers will find subjoined q
continuation of the extracts made
FROM the Manual of Championship,
and published in our last issue:
As to the obligations of the Initia-
tory OF Red Cross degree we notice
first the pledge of
TOTAL ABSTINENCE.
All the benefits of the Order are con-
ditional upon this. If man drinks
we have done with him, it may not
be for the first offence, but it will be
the case if he persists. We teach
temperance not by leaving it with
the member to fix tho dividing line
between propriety and excess-a way
of teaching it that covers all grades
of drunkenness-but we set the
gauge, and put it where no man can
question it. He who drinks alcoholic
beverages is certainly not a temperate
man. But while our obligation is
total abstinence, it is not a life
pledge. The candidate is believed
from it at any time by withdrawing
from the Order. Mark you? this is
not to soy he is relieved from the
duty of total abstinence. This Meth
er the Champions nor any other in
stitution can relieve a man from.
We can neither make nor remove q
moral obligation. That is the work
of the great Law-Giver Himself.
But it is o serious question whether
or not o society has the right to i'm
pose an obligation that extends be-
yond the relations of the society
itself.
It is worthy of note, and fact
which we wish known, that the tenn
perance pledge only exists in the
first degree. It is not supposed that
we progress in temperance as we
progress in the Order. We start
with total abstinence, and having
laid that for foundation we 60 on
to the completion of our edifce.
We propose to strengthen our men,
bers in temperance, by developing
them in other virtues, and giving
them incentives of a personal char
acter to remain faithful to their
pledge. Wepropose to throw around
them every moral and personal influ-
ence to keep them from falling, in
the hour of temptation.
But the pledge Of total abstinence,
is not all the obligations of the first
degree. We are pledged also to
MUTUAL RELIEF AND ASSISTANCE.
We propose to shoulder each others
burdens and share each others joys.

As we advance up the river it be-
comes more and more worthy of be-

ruined castles which crown the sum-
nit of the neighboring hills are re-
puted to have been the strongholds Of
robbers, and were destroyed with
their occupants in the 18th century
by the Emperor Rudolph. We are
now in the very heart of the vino
growing district Of the Rhine, and
the extensive vineyards in this neigh
borhood are those which produce the
most famous descriptions. The Ro-
mans introduced the culture of the
vine into this part of the world, and
the amount Of labor and expense
bestowed in its cultivation is utterly
incredible. The soil is carried up by
manual labor, both sexes being en-
gagged in the work, and arranged in
terraces on the rocky and barren hill
sides. Much risk, too, is often in

of which have decidedly vinous fla

This is place of no special impor-

FRANKFORT ON THE-MAIN.
This is one of the oldest and most
interesting cities of Germany alike
for it's fine old buildings, its rich his
torical associations and for many
centuries one of the great monied
centres of Europe. Its history is UNI
broken from the time of Charlemagne
who is said to have had a palace here
in the eighth century. Since the
18th century it has been a free city
and the capital of the German Con-
federation until absorbed by Prussia,
in 1866. The Rothschilds had their
beginning here. One of the first OBJ
iects of interest is the Cathedral,
which was founded in 1898. Here
the Emperors of Germany were
crowned. There are some fine build
ings in the modern parts OF the city,
with some very fine monuments.
The streets also are very capacious.
All this is in striking contrast with
the more ancient parts of the town,
where the streets are simply narrow
lanes with anciently-gabled houses,
closely packed together on either side.
The house formerly occupied by
Luther has been carefully preserved
and is open to visitors.
Many other objects of interest pre-
sent themselves, to which want OF
time precludes further reference.
