NOn-Reading Christians.

What can be said To that large per
cent of the Church who read no mis-
sionary journal, and know next to moth
ing of the condition of the world, the
noble men and women in the field for
Christ's sake, or of the actual progress
of the kingdom in the earth We
may not arrest the attention of one of
them, for the suppositiOn is that only
10y chance will they read if we write.
Ii seems queer enough that people
who read () prophecy, should care 50
little about its fulillmcnt, Or are
they like the good soul who had such
confidence in his ministers soundness
that he slept through the sermon from
beginning To end-sO they, as To the
Lords bringing il out all right? But
what if they were to awake to the fact
that they are to travail with the Lord
to this end. and have something to do
in Fastening his supremacy in the
earth Would they then not care to
know, how the kingdom in which they
have embarked everything, as they
profess, is getting on towards its con
summation? And yet those dear
souls, most likely. know all about the
last novel, and the daily paper is never
neglected And is the daily paper
even, 50 much nearer our heart-the
purely secular-the strife and corrup-
ton of parties-the crime and folly of
yesterday, the gossip of to-day. the

We do not inveigh against the secu-
lar press. We only say that no king
dom of this world has anything to of

and Lord is the Alpha and Omega, and
whose heralds are abroad in the earth

Prohibition Meeting in Boston.

The meeting of persons taVoring Il
prohibitory amendment to the state
constitution was largely attended in
fremont temple, Boston, Sept. y.
Rev. Julius ii. Scelye was chosen pres
idcnt, and made a speech on the great
evils of intemperance. eighty per cent
of our crimes being traceable to it.
The sale of liquor must he stopped or
incompetence will never cease. Educa-
ton cannot kill the craving, and even
religion and moral Suasion fail of per-
manent effect. Prohibitory legislation
is necessary, said the speaker, and if
so vital question as this cannot he
made an issue by the old parties. the
people will crush them. Mrs. Foster
of Iowa narrated the history of the
successful movement i'll her state,
where the New England element, she
said, is stronger than in Massachusetts,
making ii appear that this element has
gone west and its place been taken by
another. Mrs. LivermOre, touching on
the democratic resolution in favor of
woman suffrage, said that prohibition
belonged Ia the doctrines of the woman
sutiragistS and they would neither sup
port nor he supported 10y party pro-
nOunced against it. Gen. Swift said
that the movement was bound to win
and would have massed under its flag
the religion, morality and wisdom of
the commonwealth.
John y. Stearns of New York. Secre-
tary of the national temperance society,
made speech in behalf of constitu-
tional prohibition. in which he re-
viewed the efforts to gain ii in New
York state. An address was made by
Senator Blair of New Hampshire. Res
Olutions substantially as follows were
presented and temporarily laid on the
table: "In view of the fact that the
liquor traffic still continues to be the
most fruitful source of crime, misery,
pauperism and taxation in the state.
and that license is wrong in principle
and failure in action, Resolved,
that the manufacture and sale of intox-
icating liquors ought tn be prohibited
by law that we continue TO demand
at the hands of the Legislature the sub
mission to popular vote of an amend
ment to the constitution of the state
forever prohibiting the manufacture
and sale of Intoxicating liquors as a
beverage that we recommend To the
friends of temperance throughout the
state To vote only for such candidates
for the Legislature rs will favor the
submission of such an amendment :;
that we pledge ourselves to call a
ministerial convention in aid of such
submission to the people, and to call
conventions in the large cities and
towns that we pledge ourselves to
circulate petitions among the people,
and to present them to the general
court

OUR CONSOLATION.

The only thing we can suggest as a
relief to the Democrats of the First
District of West Virginia, under pres
ent conditions, Is to move over into
Ohio.
Everything Is bright and sunny there.
No cloud there. unless it be the cloud
of dust raised by the Republican stam-
peGe of Tuesday.
Ohio is jubilsting from center to cir
conference. There Is here and there q
little dark spot on the map Of the State,
such as Keller makes on the Eighth
District, or Updegraff on the Seven
teenth, and on four or five other Dis
triets only; the balances Of the State
seems to DO clear and fair.
The Importance OF the gain in Ohio
so far oyerbalances the loss in West
Virginia as to make the latter appear
quite Insignificant to the country at
large If not to US at home.
The effect Of the victory in Ohio
upon New York aud Pennsylvania at
this juncture cannot be overestimated.
Reviewing the probabilities before the
result in Ohio was known, the Phila-
delphia Times thought that "while
neither BEAVER nor FoLGER can be
elected. even with Republican victory
in Ohio, except by an apparently Inn
possible reaction of public sentiment,
there win be an exhaustive effort made
for both IL q faint ray Of hope shall

can moorings, there viii not be . land

these gentlemen will read Mr.. GOODS
card, they will discover that he simply
refers the public to them as men ac-
quainted with MERCER's character and
from whom the public could probably
learn how much eredence to give to
this roorback. Messrs. HEARNE and

WHAT DISSEMINATION WILL DO.

The Republicans In this District have
shown what organization will do. The
Democrats have shown what lack Of
organizations will do. We hope the lat
ter are pleased with their experiment.
1t Is not the masses of the party we re-
fer to, but the leaders and managers.
To be forewarned ought to have been
forearmed, but in this case it was not.
THE REGISTER plainly told the party
managers, after the nomination of Gen.
GOFF, that success would perch upon
the banner Of the party which brought
about the best organization. It was
pointed out that the district was close,
and that there was sufficient Of float
ing-or uncommltted-votet to turn the
tide either way. The Democrats bad
the advantage in that they were now
in possession ofthe district, and a slight
prepOnderanee of the voters was with
them.
The case standing thus, a thorough
organization would have saved us.
What we had to do was simply to hold
our own forces. We were not under
the necessity of proselyting from the
opposite party, as were our opponents.
Hence our task was tine easier one.
"But they had more money than We"
exclaimS one. =.
So they had, and they needed more.
With a compact and complete or
ganization, one dollar would have gone
as far with US as ten dollars did with,
them. In other words, with an equaits
efficient organization and equally skill
full leadership, $500 in the Democratic
Golfers would have Offset the $4,000 in
the hands of the Republican organ
izers.
But, Mr.. GOOD being emphatically
the Peoples candidates. man who had
repeatedly carried his own county by
large msjorities-one whom the masses
delighted to honor, and with whom his
popularity was believed to be invinei-
BILE, his immediate friends and, mana
gers naturally believed that the incor-
ruptible people who had steadfassly
been his friends would carry him on to
triumphant victory by their own vol
untary action. But the result shows
that even candidate possessed Of great
personal popularity requires to have
his friends organized that they may
march to the polls with the steady
tramp of well-drilled and well-disci-
pinned army.
The lesson taught the Democracy of
Ohio county and the First COMPRESSION
al district on Tuesday may not he a
very improbable one If it is read
Alright. And this remark we desire to
apply to the party In the State at large.
The party in this State IS as absolutely
without organization as it Is possible
for q party to be. What has come to
pass in the First district will come to
pass in the State, If this condition of
affairs is suffered to remain.

superior numbers Just the mood
In which the Republicans have desired
Ito find their democratic opponents.
They have been encouraged by it TO
s,lch an .exsent that, while making no
noise to arouse their opponents, they
have been quietly but indnstriously or
ganizEng and encouraging the rank and
de q their party, and by persistent
well directed efforts, backed with an
abundance OF money, may be depend
ed upon to poll their entire strength on
election day.
A well organized, active minority will
win, nine times out of ten, against an
unorganized and sluggish majority. 1t
is nine points In . political contest to
get the voters 10 the polls. IL Is not the
strength Of the party In the field, but
the number that come 10 the polls on
election day, who count 10 the result,
campaign. : II Is the policy Of the mi
,norify to work IS quietly as possible.
We can say TO the Democratic
voters Of this district that unless they
want to surrender the district 10 the Re-
pubhcans; unless they want to reduce
the strength Of the National Democrat
ic party in the next House OF Represen-
tatives they VIII have to bestir them
selves between this ana election day;
some little show OF organization and
unity Of effort viii have TO be made If
the vote is brought out. 1t Is the east
est thing in the world to allow an cleo
ton to go by default. Ii requires some
effort, even Of the majority party, to
elect its ticket"
There ought to be lesson learned by
Democrats from the past campaign,
that they will never forget. We have
not had q Democratic organization IN
this county, worthy the name, for
years past. Democrats habitually un-
dervslue 1t. While theix opponents
spend the whole year in fostering and
encouraging their organization, Demo-
Gratis come together systematically on
the eve of an election, and fire off like
q iint-lock musket, or flash in the pan,
as they did ON Tuesday.
They now have the work before
them of redeeminga this district. We
do not regard it as a difficult task. The
district, in fact Is stfll theirs, but has
simply been allowed TO stray away. A
little tightening up of the lines, . little
discipline, little meth0d--in a word
q little oRcANIzATIoNs all we need to
make this district as solid and reliably
Democratic as any other in the State.
Just now Is the time to begin this
work, -. ... ..
