Say! were you at temple the night
of the last meeting, and if not was
your excuse sufficient for non-attend-
ance? When you first enlisted in it,
you were more enthusiastic in this
work and the night Of meeting gener-
ally found you on hand What has
cooled your ardor and lessened your
interest? There is still much work to
do, and crying demand for earnest
effort While this is true in many
localities the different temperance or
ders lag for lack of members and inter-
est. Could you not give this matter
more attention while men are falling
all around you and it is in your power
in many instances to afford relief and
help to the fallen? The following
complaints reach us that N many in
stances officers are mona ttentiye and
candidates are put off from time to
time for lack of a working force. Is
this in keeping with your vows and
with your promises at the time of your
installation? If you can not through
the press of business or domestic cares
fill the Office you are elected to or pro-
posed for, atthe coming election, resign
or decline as the case may be, for at
tentive and efficient officers are re-
quisite in our work. but we need good
officers; they are indispensable, you
may be the man Of all others who can
best fill the position you are named for;
if so you are in duty bound to do your
best and to be in attendance on all
possible occasions at sessions. We
earnestly hope you will conscientiously
consider your duties in this matter and
act upon them.--The Appeal.

Gov. Pound is reelected by about
5000 majority. Senator Scott is I'M
doubtedly reelected by round major
ity, and Hon. NJ. H. McCord goes in
over Mason by about 1000 majority
for the Assembly.
The result of the Presidential cleo
ton may be summed up in one briei
sentence. Every northern state, ex-
cept New Jersey, is Republican by a
good majority, and Florida anil Della
ware are reported in the Republican
line.
Maine, so close in September, gives
Republican majority of about 5000.
Vermont increases her large majority
of few weeks ago, and Ohio adds
so per cent to the majority in Ooto-
Der.
New York, which gave Democrat
ic majority of 32,742 in 1876, turns
the tables and gives about the same
majority for the Republicans. New
Jersey. Democratic by Il. 445 in 1876,
gives very meagre majority of ), 200.
Connecticut, Democratic by 2,4S2 in
1876 gives a Republican majority Of
5000,

The majority in Wisconsin vi

The majority in Wisconsin will
probably be over 10000. The figures
speak more plainly for themselves than
words can. A gain of one congress
man will help to overcome the present
Democratic majority in the House.
and it may be said that the State has
fairly done her share in contributing
to the grand total.
It is rot possible yet to state the ex-
act complexion of the next House of
Representatives, but it is moderately
certain that the Republicans will have
a small working majority over Demo
Gratis, Independents, and Greenb ackers
combined. The returns, as far as
heard from, indicate las Republicans,
13S Democrats and Greenbackers
and Independents, giving Republican
majority of 3. The Senate will be a
tie, if either Nevada or Tennessee
send Republican Senator The Re
publicans may get both Of these, but
if they get one, 1t will give them the
control of that body through the cast
ing vote of the Vice President.

The work Of revising the Bible is
rapidly drawing to a close We may
expect the issue at the end of this
year or beginning of next. The New
Testament will be published by itself
The Old Testament cannot be publish
ed before 1888, owing to greater bulk.
On this topic the Christian Union
says: eff re should indulge in pre-
JUDGES we should likely say that pre-
JUDGED minds will object to many
changes that will be found, because
some familiar, phrases, like 'he who
now letteth will let, will Owe doubt
not) be rubbed out and something
better inserted But thoughtful per-
sons, and those who desire the mean
ing Of the Greek original, cannot but
be pleased with a translation in which
forty one Greek scholars Of all Christ
ian creeds are agreed. We are not
afraid that in style any more than in
translation these forty-one men will go
astray and shock the Protestant world.
These men know what is good English
and what is dignifed English. They
love the old English Bible as much as
Bishop Coke does, and they will see
that it is not rough ly treated. Our
advice, then, is to keep quiet until the
revised version appears, and then let
us examine it, not in the light of our
prejudices, but in the light of a schol-
arly common sense. All attempts now
to say what it is, or to assail it, are
premature. Our own writing is mere
ly to show that we have reason to ex-
pect the best

officer squelsh him he will divide the

if possible. 1t is especially the duty
of the temple deputy to draw the reins
on this class of individuals and if he
will not down without, expell him as a
malcontent and disregarder of the
pledge and injunction to treat every
brother with fraternal regard. Charg-
es can be sustained under article Nv

They Plagued Him,

A story is told of an english voter
who possessed influence, and who ask
ed the candidate to give his son let
ter of recommendation to an officer at
the admiralty. The result was grant
ed, but when the youth called to deli
yer his credentials he found that he
had mislaid the precious epistle
However, he succeeded in obtaining a
nomination, and some weeks after his
return home discovered the lost "letter
of recommendation among some pa
pers. Having done without it he had
the curiosity to open it, and was star
tied to find that it contained an earnest
injunction to "throw every obstacle in
his way for, as the writer added, Il
cannot disoblige this youths father,
and if he once enters the navy he will
be plaguing my life out to get him a
ship" The young man was furious,
but the father, Impractical minded man,
coolly remarked: ct is not worth
making a disturbance, We will take
him at his word and plague him for a
ship" which was done accordingly,
with success.

Illinois and all the Northwestern
States give increased Republican ma
jorities, and the Pacific States SO far
as heard from retain their place in the
Republican line.
The large Republican gains in all
the Northern States cover gains in
Congressman, and these, with the
gains made in October give a good
working majority in the next house.
In 1876, Chicago gave Tilden a
majority. The majority for Garfield
is about 5000. The Republican
county ticket is undoubtedly eleoted.
and the Republican candidates for
Congress in the First, Second and
Third Districts have majorities as
large as, or larger than two years ago.
1t is a clean. sweep. Garfield has at
least 222 electoral votes, and there
will be no dispute as to the result.
The majorities are overwhelming, as
are shown by the dispatches.
Wisconsin's delegation in the next
House will stand six Republicans and
two Democrats.
The republican trumpet sounded for
Gabriel Bouck.

The Maine Amendments.

Augusta CMe.) Journal: The
Standing Committee on Election Re
turns, to which was referred the re-
turns of votes given the 18th day of
September. upon the proposed amend
ment to the Constitution relating to
the election of the Governor by a
plurality instead OF a majority of
votes, and the amendment changing
the term of office of Senators and Re-
representatives., report that the number
Of votes thrown for the amendment
providing for the election of the Gov
ernor by plurality is: In favor,
57,015; opposed, 35,402 The num-
Der of votes thrown for the amendment
changing the terms of office of Sen
ators and Representatives is: In favor
81, $50; opposed, 1924. The fig
ures vary somewhat from the clerk s
figures already published, and furnish
additional proof that an official count
is necessary to settle the question of
who is Governor. At present it is the
sheerest folly to claim the State for
either Plaisted or Davis.

Is 'sDamn" an Oath?

Freeman's Journal Catholic, } New
York: Damn" as a noun substan-
tive is an old regular word, used fire.
quently in English writers down to the
first part of the seventeenth century
We don't see why so ponderous word
has been dropped by photographers
In some places, as, if we speak of how
original sin lies heavy Oh US, it seems
a most appropriate word. I'VE in
herit, with Adam nature, the damn
cleaving to it.'' This use of the
word came down to our American
grandfathers, and lasted even till the
time when the Continental currency
was dead Gloss" So came the ex-
preston "Not worth a continental; "
mot worth Continental DAMN" or
dead loss And for short: "Not
worth damn" Or bit of paper that
was a dead loss !! 1t is not to the
credit of our American photographers
that they have not recognized this ORR
gin Of a phrase peculiarly American,
and that if ''slang" at first, having a
basis in fact, like countless number
of other words, it has been enrolled as
a factor in our accepted language-as
"gerrymandering'' has been. The
people did better than their writers of
primers, grammars, and dictionaries.
Damn means loss Gin American par
lance, as above, a worthless script
Damnable, for its general meaning,
signifies worthy of severe censure. "
Only when used in theological con-
nection does it imply what Puritans
suppose. It, most certainly, is not
;'swearingl" and, except by the impo-
sition of the Puritan Specification, it is
not cursing! And yet we remember
hearing people, using phrase whose
history they knew not, say 81 do not
care cuss, meaning curse.
