This gentleman. the chief officer OF
the Good Templars in the world, adj
dressed Il citizens at the opera
house, last Tuesday night, upon tenn
perance. A fair audience was pres
tnt, presided over by the Rev. I. j.
Gooch.
The president introduced the dis
tinguished speaker by q most telicit-
GUS little speech. Col. Hickman is a
pleasant appearing gentleman ofabout
tortv-iiye years, eminently satisfied
with hlmseif-at bone upon the plat
form--an easy and fluent speaker
perfect imltator of a d%runkard's con-
duct, and tells Il story well.
His speech was long and rambling,
but not at all tedious to the average
audience, but fails to impress his
hearers that he is a man of either
thought or mental resources. His
speech was a medly of abuse of al
temperance people and workers, who
do not ride his special hobby-prohi-
bition-of unkind and unchristlan
judgment and criticism of all church
members, who do not see their line
of duty, to lie parallel with 4 selected
course Of conduct, Of bitter and 81

anecdotes that have been the stock
in trade of the common professional
temperance lecturer, ever since the
WashingtoniaI mOyeLrcnt, all being
bound together 10y a thread OF pretty
words, sayings and quotations, such
as the average sophomore uses when
he chats with his ''charmer,' in the
''sweet silver light OF the moon,"
and delivered with an Lam holier-
than-those" sort Of air. Here and
there could be discovered in the mas
a thought of diamond sparkle and
value. The speech was not equal to
the average efforts at the weekly
meetings during the past eighteen
months of the Murphies, nor does 1t
yindicate the geutleman's reputation
as a temperance advocate.
The purpose on the part OF the
gentleman was to organize "A lodge OF
Coed Templars in this city, which,
as we understand, was done ut the
close of the meeting, with about sew
enty charter members. This, oil
course, makes another disintegratlor
of the Temperance Union, as we I'M
derstand that the whole seventy came
from that organization, including its
president, and will much weaken its
efficiency if it does not entirely destroy
il. The Good Templars' organlza-
ton is Il secret one and hence as a
public agency for good is Valnelcss.
rs all its meetings are with closed
doors, and membership to it is CON
trolled by ballot, and two i~ndepcnd-
ent organizations for temperance work
in this city, a hardly be sustained.

LABOR

When the committee on resolutions
of the Greenback-Labo Convention
at Montgomery City on the goth inst,
of which M. Y. Duncan was chairman,
reported, a %protracted debate sprung
up, recalling great diversity of senti-
ment in the clubs of which the assem-
bly, was composed.
AS soon as the report was read, Mr..
T. ii, Dillon moved to amend it so
as to endorse the Chicago Union
Decentralization platform. The de-
bate which followed brought out the
contentious.
Even in well cemented parties, un-
less & convention is prepared to &C
cept his dicta, it is not wise to make
an editor chairman of a platform
committee When he reports he
commits himself, but when his views
are denounced and voted down, there
is nothing left for him but to subside
and eat crOU or vindieate his senti-
ments. From Dir. Duncan's antece-
dents, he is the last man to swallow
down his spittle.
The convention adopted Mr.. Dill
Ions amendment, but the salutatory
of the Press did not advocate it. Ii
Mr.. Duncan did not assume an indie,
pendent position by the use of the
following language, what was he
driving at?
This Il free country, made so by the blood OF
a noble ancestry whose memory is as dear to Us
as the breath of life, and we hope to do no act
which would circumscrIbe the limits of that
freedom. We hold that men may differ and that
men may be honest in their differences, and thai
their only arbiter is sound reason. In this cru
chile We are willing to be tested and TO test
Others"
From all this it looks as if the ed
itor was not going to yield to such
irreconcilables as the Simses and Ha-
leys,

Among the more prominent and
universal demands of the communist
leagues are the following:
1st. The creation and maintenance
by government of cooperative agri-
cultural and manufacturing establish
ments.
I'd. Universal, compulsory and
tree education.
Sd. A graduated income tax with
adjustment 0; indirect taxation.
4th. Limitation by government of
a days work to eight hours.
9th. Sanitary inspection of mines.
factories and houses.
9th. Employment by government
on public works paid for in green
backs.
So far not much has been said
openly about the first demand. Pub
lie sentiment is not yet sufficiently
educated for large governmental es-
adjustments. The second require
ment is opposed by all the sects and
the fourth does not suit our farmers.
Among the most advanced theories
of Communists are the doctrines
"That there should be no private
property, and that government should
own all lands, buildings, capital and
machinery" They say everything
should be National-that is, under
control of Congress.
Distribution of property is too
equal and too general in America
and the means of livelihood toe
abundant to admit of its becoming q
hot-bed for communistic growth out
side our large cities, but the condition
of Europe may furnish some apology
for the dissemination ofagarian views,
There caste, wealth and place combine
TO keep the poor down. Govern.
ments are there managed in the in.
terest of rulers. There is little at
tention given to the wants of popula,
tions. Aristocrats are more con
cerned about maintenance and ex'
tension of power than national devel
opment. Standing armies consume
the sustenance of labor and useless
wars sacrifice life, pile up debt, en-
hancc interest, increase taxes ant
i%mpoverish industry. In this coun
try the people a control measures
and there is no necessity to pit laboI
against society. Its best and high
est interest is maintenance of tina
system of government that guaran
trees to it, through the ballot, powe
to protect itself.

There r thirty sections in the
National platform adopted at Mont
gomery City, but the salutatory OF
the Press pledges its editor to the
support of only some three or four of
them. An examination of the slight
ed planks will demonstrate to the most
casual observer, that several of them
relate to communistic sentiment, end
are inimicai to constitutional govern
ment, and destructive of personal
right. One of them demands a land
limitation, whatever that may mean.
Such planks are the entanglements
which the venerable Cooper advised
every true Greenbacker to cut loose
from. In our opinion the editor of
the Press has exhibited much good
sense and not a little capacity for
leadership in the course he has pur-
sued.
