The Latest ElOpenlCnt.

Miss Sarah McCauley, aged nineteen,
residing with her parents at Paterson,
N. j., has been missing since June 5.
Her father was absent at the time of her
disappearance, but although he has
since made diligent search, no clue
to the runaway girl could be found.
In her room note was found stating
that she had been married for some
time, and that it was now time she had
joined her husband. 1t is believed that
she has married young man by the
name Of Heard, son of retired manu-
facturer Of Paterson. Mr.. McCauley
was opposed to yolng Heard paying any
attention to his daughter and had forbid
him the house, but the young girl at
tended church very regularly of late,
where she would meet him, and the re-
suit is that they have ran away and
been married.

Heven, for the better.
Washington hez bin attacked by the
Confedrits at two different periods
From 1861 to 1865, they failed to pos

more successful. They hev it now. In

Maine-the hatchet-faced Rhode Island

and the swarthy Southerner fills the

There are one armed and one legged
Northern soljers enuf here, but they
are walkin the streats. They amt in

the Departments controlled by the

WOULD WOMEN VOTE RIGHT?

Yet few men and women, densely igno- rant about this movement, have been heard to say; "Who knows that women would vote right?" confess that nothing has more deeply grieved me than this question from the lips of Christian people. Have dstillers brewers, and saloon-keepers. then more confi- dence in woman's sense and goodness than she has herself? The have very practical meth- cd of exhibiting their faith. They declare war to the knife and the knife to the hilt against the Home Protection Movement By secret circulars, by hired lobbyists and attorneys, by the ridicule of thei: newspaper organs and threats of personal violence to such women of their families as sign our petition, they display their confidence in womankind.
 The only town in Illinois which sent up delegation of cittizens openly to oppose our petition was Belleville, with It's heavy liquor interest and ten thousand German to three thousand American inl abitants; and among our 204 legislators there were no other dozen men whose nagging of the Home Protection Committee was SO persistent and so petty as that of the Senator who openly declared he was there to defend the vested interests of his Peoria constituents, who in 1878 produced eight million dollars worth CD of ardent spir- it's. Nay, verify, woman's vote IS the way out of our misery and shame, -four enemies themselves being judges" The women of the Crusade must come to judgment-not as aforetime, with trembling lip and fearful eye, but with the blazing sword of power; and none see this so clearly as the liquor dealers, whose alligator eye is their pocket book, and the politicians, whose Achilles heel is their ambition. .....: ..s ....1..,.

Friends, it means something for women of the ica has developed no movement more signifi- cant for good since the first dawning of the day we celebrate. .. The State of Indiana stands with us only there the temperance women have worked out the problem of deliverance further than we and asked the ballot on all questions whatso- ever. They do the same in Minnesota and in Iowa while at the East the w. C. T. U. of grand old Maine endorses the temperance vote, and Rhode Island sends to Illinois resolutions of approval, while Massachusetts, under Mary A. Livermore, has declared for Home protec- tion and is preparing for the fall campaign i; and within a few days Ohio, the Crusade State, which is the mother of us all, has fallen into line. The most conservative states are Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York but in each ofthese there are many brave wom- en, who but bide their time for this same dec laration, and the whole twenty three states al- ready joined in the Woman's National Chris tian Temperance Union will ere long clasp hands in the only work which can ever fulfill the glorious promise of the Crusade. History tells us that on the morning of December 23d 1873, when in Hillsboro, Ohio, the pentecos- tai power fell on the ''praying band" which first went forth, the leading men of that rum- cursed town went out from the church where their wives and mothers had assembled saying
 "We can only leave this business with the wo- men and the Lord" History has repeated it. self this winter in our Illinois crusade. Men have placed money in our hands to carry on this work, saying: ''The women of America must solve this problem. Our business rela- tions, our financial interests, our political aff1l- iations and ambitions have tied our hands ; but we will set yours free, that you may rid us of this awful curse"

THE ILLINOIS MOVEMENT.

ED. ENQ1 W @ 83 THE ILLINOIS MOVEMENT.
 Kind friends, am not theorizing. speak that do know and testify what have seen. Out on the Illinois prairies we have resolved to eApend on voters the work at first bestowed upon saloon-keepers. We have transferred the scene of our crusade from the dram-shop to the council-room of the municipal authori- ties, whence the dram-shop derives it's guaran- ties and safeguards. Nay, more. The bitter argument of defeat led us to trace the tawny, seethng, foaming tide of beer and whisky to it's source and there we found it surging forth from the stately capitol of Illinois, with it's proud dome and flag of stripes and stars. So we have made that capitol the center of our operations and last winter, as one among the many branches of our work, we gathered up 175, 600 names of Illinoiss best men add wom- en (80, 900 being the names of voters), who asked the legislature for law giving women the ballet on the temperance question. In prosecuting our canvass for these names, we sent copies of our "Home Protection Petition to every minister, editor, and postmaster in the state; also to all leading temperance men and women, missionary women, and Gran gers teachers Odd Fellows, and Free Ma sons; Greenback and Red Ribbon clubs: to Quakers and Catholics, Knights of Pythias and express corporations; Jews, Gentiles, and railroad companies. ....-..
 In this way our great state of 55, 900 square miles was permeated, and in most of it's ,00O towns the petition was brought before the peo- pie. The religious press was unit in our fa- vor The reform clubs of the state, with rib bons blue and red, helped us with their usual

HOW WOMEN DO VOTE.


 But, after all, ''seeing" is large part of 'believing" with this square headed Yankee nation; 60 let us seek the testimony of expe- rience ae "j 44a.a- | Eau.# In Kansas the law provides that the sigma lures of women shall be requisite to petition asking for dram-shop before that boon shall be conferred upon any given community. This arrangement wrought such mischief with the liquor dealers that they secured an amend ment exempting large towns from such bond age. But in small towns and villages it has greatly interfered with the traffic, and has SO educated public sentiment that prohibition cau-with impunity !-form the theme of a governors inaugural, and Kansas is on the war-path for law hardly less stringent than that of Name.
 In Des Moines, Iowa, few weeks since, as test of popular opinion, the women voted on the license question: twelve declaring against them. In Newtown, Iowa, at an election or dered by the council, 172 men voted for license to 319 against-not two to one against it i; while the women's vote stood one in favor to 394 against licensing saloons. In Kirkville, Mo-, ten women favored the liquor traffic twenty declined to declare themselves, and five hundred wanted mo license" In our H. linois campaign, which resulted iu 95,O00 names of women who expressed their wish to vote against saloons, not one woman in ten declined to affix her name to our petition.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH, GERMANS, ETC

The attitude of the Catholic Church was friendly to our petition, many priests urging their people to sign. Irish women, as a rule,
 gave us their names, and saloon keepers wives often secretly did so. Scandinavans were generally enthusiastic for the petition. Ger
 mans opposed us; but the reply of one of them indicates the chivalric nature which will ! come to our aid when our invincibie argument against beer shall be brought in contact with

full if any locality can afford to raise

people created by the canvass for
the subscription together with their

addition TO this, they would not
have to contend with the impress

synod does not mean business-that
they are using the enthusiasm of
one locality to probe another To-
cality to make greater efforts to
raise their bids, just as they use d
Emporia's bid last year to induce
the other three points to increase
