n To many earnest temperance men
one OF the discouraging features of the
movement Ia the GOODNESS with which
so many good and respectable people
regard it. Such people too often stand
aside with looks and words of disap.

are seeking TO further their righteous
cause. Nevertheless, this should be no
more cause of sorrow and discourage.

and their victims. "Respectabllity, or
that which so cstecms itself, is always
ON the side of ancient wrong. and al.
ways will be. But it has little force to
help or hinder, and is ready to change
Its views when once success has cast
its Transforming mantle over the move
ment which they once despiscd. Forty
years ago "respectability" had only
sneers for the "aboltionists," who were
making such disreputable stir In the
land. But abolition principles finally
triumphed, and to-day "respectabihty"
has conveniently forgotten the time
when the rotten-egging or tarring and
feathering of some Jealous abolition
lecturer furnished it with a mild but
strictly "respectable" sensation OF
amusement. Let temperance workers
take courage. The barbarism of the
alcoholic traffic must inevitably disap.
pear before an awakening public senti.
ment, and when that time comes the
"respectability" which to-day covertly
sneers at temperance clergyTen and
wOmen's temperance organizations, will
forget that it has not always Lvvu vr
The right eide. There are encouraging
symptoms even now. "Respectability'
will delgn now to do what it would
not do few years since, namely, dis
cuss Its virtual alliance with the black
guard element of society which openly
bowls for free rum. Respectable
politicians are seeking votes by ten

he made the complaints. They were

trial of both cases was set for the same

cases were brought was an estimable
gentleman, who, according TO common
report, furnished in his barn, or cellars,
or both, storage room for the Stevens
House liquor. Before this worthy rep.

Mr.. Gaines and offered the plea of moi
guilty to both complaints. The stern
prosecutor thereupon tried to prove the
