A Sweeping Indictment.

A w estern orator IN a recent adj
dress speaks of liquor and its effects
in this way:
| believe that from the time it is
sues from the cooled and poisonous
worm in the distillery until it emp
ties into the hell of death, dishonor
and crime, that it demoralizes every
body that touches it, from its source
to where it ends. | do not believe
that anybody can contemplate the
subject without becoming preju-
diced against liquor. Think Of the
wrecks on either bank of the stream
of death; of the suicides, of the in
sanity; of the poverty, of the igno-
rance, of the restitution; of the little
children Juggling at the faded and
weary breasts of weeping and de-
spairing wives, asking for bread; of
the talented men of genins that it
has wrecked, the men struggling
with imaginary serpents produced
by this devilish thing; ::and when
you think of the jails, of the aims
houses, asylums, prisons, scaffolds
upon either, | do not wonder that
every thoughtful man is prejudiced
against this damned stuff called
alcohol
Intemperance cuts down youth in
its vigor, manhood in its strength,
and age in its weakness. 1t breaks
the fathers heart, bereaves the do
ting mother, extinguishes natural af-
fections, grasses conjuqal loves, blots
filial attachment, blights parental
hope, and brings down mourning
age with sorrow to the grave. 1t
produces weakness, not streI 9Th
sickness, not health; death, not..life.
1t makes wives widows, children
orphans, fathers fends, and all of
them paupers and beggars. 1t feeds
rheumats SIN, nurses govt, welcomes
epidemics, invites cholera, imports
pestilence and embraces consump-
ton. 1t covers the land with idle
ness, misery and crime. 1t fills your
jails, supplies your aims houses and
demands your asylums.
1t engenders controversies, fosters
quarrels and engenders riots. 1t
crowds your penitentiaries and fur
nishes victims to your scafolds. 1t
is the life blood of the gambler, the
prop of the highwayman, and the
support of the midnight incendiary.
1t countenances the liar, respects
the thief, esteems the blasphemer,
and honors infamy. It defames be-
nevolence, hates love, scorns virtue,
| and ISLANDERS innocence. 1t incites
the father to butcher his helpless
offspring, helps the husband to mas
sacre his wife, and the children to
grind the parricidal axe. 1t burns
up men, consumes women, detests
life, curses God, and despises heaven.

Again: The Grange spreads very
rapidly in nearly all the Eestern
States during the first year or two of
its existence, when there was not
only a sudden cessation of growth,
but great falling off of the origi-
nal membership. Here, too, the pol
iticians of a low grade endeavored
ed creep into the Subordinate Gran
ges and pervert them to political
purposes. But they made no head
way, and soon abandoned the at
tempt. When, however, the far
mers themselves perceived that the
immediate effect of the so called
Granger legislation" was to force
the railroads to give the Western
farmer cheap through freights, and
thus enable him to undersell Eastern
competitors. they began to foresee
for themselves the fate which has
overtaken the British farmer from
the same cause. Inasmuch as the
preponderance in the Grange lay
West, it was supposed that the Ma
tional organization would be devo-
ted to this work, and the gain of the
West would be the ruin of the East.
But this apprehension having no
substantial foundation, has gradu-
ally given away, and it seems that
the local and State organizations,
while remarkably adapted, like the
State Governments after which
they are fashioned, for domestic
protection and the management of
domestic concerns within their
scope, are in no danger of being
overborne in wrong direction by
the National Grange
In the naked proposition that the
State has the pawer to make just
rates of carriage on the public high
ways, and ought to exercise it, the
farmer of the East has precisely the
same interest as the farmer of the
West. But it is vital to him that
the farmer of the West shall not re-
ceive a concession which is denied
to him. He holds, and holds Justly,
that all changes shall be made in &C
cordance with the cost of service,
and upon this the Western Granger
makes common cause with him.
Like the farmers Alliance in this
State, which did much to sustain
the agitation of public regulation,
before the merchants of New York
had taken a single step, farmers
Oranges elsewhere are responding
with great spirit to the appeals OF
the Anti Monopoly League. In an
official circular by VIM Farquhar
Lecturer of the State Grange OF
Maryland, extensive quotations are
made from the publications of the
League, and the five million Of our
farmers are urged in the strongest
terms to combine with other inter
ests, suffering in the same way, bu
not to the same extent. "The day,
he says, "that shall see the farmer!
of the United States combined ano
held together by hand so pure anc
strong as this the Grange) will alst
witness the complete subsection Of
the tyrannical power of corporate
monopoly. The mischief it has done
and threatened will pass away anc
the good will remain"

them and require every member to
become familiar with its contents to
be ready for its reading and short
comments at the next subsequent
meeting, each member reading
aloud sentence, enunciating in
clear distinct tones, paying due re-
gard to accent, emphasis, rising and
falling infections of the voice, &c.
ALI should be impressed that these
are preparatory steps toward fitting
them to act in concert with every
Subordinate Grange in the United
States in the herculean but grand
onslaught that will drive their enc
mics from power and place, like
chat, before the breath of the tenn
pest, and substitute in their i'll got
ten places men of purity, honesty
anC capacity. When that onslaught
is commenced our ranks will be
swollen by thousands of allies of the
oppressed hewers of wood and
drawers of water to the unfeeling
monsters who are lording it over
this goodlv heritage of ours.
If one Grange can be educated
up to its full possibilities and re-
quirements, all can be, and if we
mistake not the signs of the times,
the contamination is not far distant,
in which our noble lady Patrons
will be no insignificant factors.

Stop.

Railway signals are positive. At
certain points are seen sign-posts on
which appears this word "sToP."
1t is unattended by adjective or adj
verb 1t is as condense as rifle ball.
The approach to railway crossing
or drawbridge is guarded by the
peremptory signal.
We were riding on a swift train
at high speed when with sudden
jerk the westinghouse" slowed
our train to stand still A look at
the black signal ahead explained
The red signal was silent, yet ats
voice was heard" above the roar of
our many wheels. It said STOP as
plainly as the sigh board with large
word in black at the drawbridge.
To humsn being this little word
is as positive as to a railway train
| recall case. More than twenty
years ago bow went to Newark to
learn a trade. His brave father was
an invalid, bnt earned his own
bread. The mother was dead but
not forgotten. When she died she
told this son 20 fear God. The very
morning he started the father had
repeated to him that message. And
yet one Sabbath he had spent in
reckless and bad company. That
night he did not sleep. He thought
of the mothers words-her dying
words. The words of the invalid
father were recalled. He was in
good company that Sabbath night,
and the fruit was unto life.
AS he tossed and thought and
wept, the boy said, at is time to
stop, and 1 will stop" And he did
stop. A long life Of honorable USE
fitness followed.
And was his the only good mother
that has son on the road to ruin?
1t is possible that some son in the
place of sin, if he would but listen,
would hear her voice saying to him
with such pathos in it, Stop Or
as he has hurried along the abroad
road" he has heard within his own
heart, as distinctly as if human lips
has spoken-his own conscience
the word Stop
Let me add emphasis to that word
spoken by mother among the an
gels and by your own conscience.
Let me, stranger-whose name
you do not know-repeat the en-
treaty, Young man, .StObp'
Anticipation is sweet. 1t feeds
and gladdens hope 1t disarms fear
and gives power to human endeavor.
And Renaissance is-or may be
sweet also. But, alas, sometimes it
is associated with regret and even
remorse. Nemesis was the daugh-
ter of Night; the personiication of
conscience, which no one could es
cape. The Greeks represented her
as sometimes standing in thought
full attitude, in her left hand a bri
die-the symbol of restraint-and in
her right hand a wheel-the en-
blem of swiftness-,and sword or
whip-the emblem of vengeance. F"
And these Greeks sometimes named
her not only Nemesis, but, Adras-
teia-"the goddess whom no bad
man can escape"
Would it hurt any one to consider
whether he has any personal con-
Germ with this dread Nemesis, and
whether Adrasteia has any business
to be done with him? The way of
the wicked is as darkness, ana in
pity heaven lifts this signal on the
road they walk, Stop
