TEMPERANCE DEPARTMENT.
EDITED by pEnRYsBuRe W, C. T.u,
A coon SIGN .

A GOOD SIGN.
One good sign of the times is that Our
colleges and high schools are planting
themselves squarely and publicly upon the
side of temperance. Temperance is no
longer tabooed subject at college COM
mencements. This was demonstrated at
the late commencement OF Knox College.
John Y. Ewarts, The valedictoran of his
class, in his closing address to the citizens
of Galesburg, made stirring appeal 10
them, for the sake Of the college, to banisli
saloons from the city. All thinking people
voted this gieat Improvement upon the
meaningless platitudes frequently induiged
in upon such occasions. A similar appeal
even more impassioned and earnest, was
made by Miss Emma Everest in her address
to the Alumni upon the Relations Of Knox
College to the Community" The best cs.
say OF the Galesburg High School also
gave no uncertain sound for Temperance,

FROM the pitiful tales of foot.sorc pill.
grims returned from Yorktown we learn
that CORVALLIS was big fool for not sur
rendering the place on sight. Its popua-
tion consists of n few oyster shells and q
big hill of sand, with rum shop in tho
distance to add the picturesque to the
scene. 1t is told in narrowing language
that the dust is about six inches thick (;
that meals are correspondingly thin and
bad, and that drinking-watcr is a myth.
Under these circumstances it is possible
that the grand mixed jubilee chorus now
performing on. that hallowed spot will look
upon Home, Sweet Home as the most
popular ballad in our language. People
will submit to great deal of dust and poor
whisky for the sake of founding country
and home for themselves, but it loses n
great deal of its romance when you have to
stand an encore.
