The Temperance Question.


EprroRs CLARIos Civilization is slowly
Iliquidating the debt itowes 10 religion No one
could have listened to the eloquent remarks
made BY the two distinguished speakers On
wednesday and Thursday evenings without
realizing that an impu Sc for good had been
given to the minds and morals Of the youth OF
our land. Give us a broad. liberal and catho-
lie spirit; a wise, temperate and educated
class Of arrieulturists, and We become Mt once
the grandest people on this continent The
time IS rapidly approaching when the results
of the war will be regarded as stepping-stOnes
to higher and more cultivated Intellectual
and moral, hence, Of necessity, more perfect
physical life The key-notes 10 future educa-
tion were sounded in the Hall Of Representa-
tives when Dr.. C. K Marshall. referring to the
lien laws Of Mississippi, declared that a
mans honor was buried in deed of trust.
Intemperance uaderlies the entire supersiTue-
ture Of ali bad government. We're it possible
to have the masses understand why all aico-
holic stimulents enervate and brutalize the
mind we would soon experience the benefits
arising from such knowledge. Could they be
taught the physiological action Of the brain
aud made to see thar, under the influence Of
alcohol. we had diseased and impaired ac-
ton they would abolish it without any
legislation. Like all nerve stjmulants its first
effect is upon the centres for which il pos
sesses strongest affinity. aud secondarily upon
the entire neryons system. Ia its diffused
form il is natures nerve food. Concentrated
II becomes destructive OF the tissues which
elevate such material. In small medicinal
doses il is excitant in large or eft repeated
doses it becomes powerfully narcotic aud i'm
pairs the functions Of all important organs.
continuous or habituai use OF any stimulant
may become under certain conditions heredi-
tary. Opium is terrible, aud race of opium
eaters is preferable to u race of drunkards.
The women of America have inaugurated the
temperance movement; the clergy follow. IL
comes the duty Of physicians to step now to
the front an1 teach them and through them
the people, how 10 have sound mind in
sound body We have medical journals but
they do not reach into the homes and are not
read by the firesde The newspaper only
can accomplish The object. Let us know
the pathological action OF alcohol. Tell US
why all the moral faculties are blunted unto
the third ana ourth generation. Let legisla-
tion accomplish all il can, but when he women
of our lan'i refuse 10 recognize the druakdrd
IN society, temperance is universal

EDITORS CLARION: Your editorial on "a
State Hospital for the INDECENT sick meets
a warm response from the hearts of every
MiSsissippian. Humanity pleads for its
early establishment; and now is the time
to show our gratitude to the crippled and
diseased soldier of the Lost Cause A
few-not great many-still linger with us,
and are dependant alone upon the charity
of the humane. What record can Missis-
sippi make more glorious than to establish
in this hospital 8 ward to be known as the
q Confederate Soldiers Home" Would il
not, above everything else, tend to keep
alive the patriotic fires that burned in the
blossoms of our noble braves, and prove to
coming generations that Mississippi has
not, aud cannot, forget the heroic deeds OF
her sons. SoLDIER.

The people are focking to the seaports in

The Liquor Question.
REPORT TO THE MISSISSIPPI coSFEREECE


The Committee on Temperance Of the
Mississippi Conference beg leave to offer the
following report;
We regard the triumph Of the cause of
Temperance as intimately related TO the
success of the gospel. The course of the
one is largely the history of the other
Where intemperance abounds, the gospel ls
hindered and gross irreligion prevails. 1t
is. therefore, the duty of the church to en-
ploy every laudable agency and energy to
stay its march of ruin. In Mississippi, this
question is now agitating the public mind,
possibly, as never before. The people
have become aroused and alarmed at the
direful progress of the matchless evil.
And with this awakening, the question has
assumed new phase. New methods are
sought to be employed, hoping for success
where we have partially failed in the past.
There Is now a strong and growing con-
viction that, in addition to moral influences
and agencies, the State needs and demands
more rigid restrictive Legislature. As to the
right OF such legal restraint and protection
there is no longer any question. Charged
as intemperance is, with much of the
crime, prodlgality, pauperism, suffering
and sorrow OF the land, it is clearly the
province and duty Of the legislation to re-
press or suppress it By stern legal enact
ment. 1t is inherent in the police power
0f the State, and vital 10 the peace and
welfare of the communities. The State
passes quarantine laws to prevent the in
PRODUCTION Of foreign and contagious dis
eases; laws against carrying concealed
weapons to restrain mansaughter laws
against arson and larceny for the
protection of property. Such right is
unquestioned, ard such laws are the
imperative demand of society. So in
/ the exercise of the same police power,
the State NAV restrain or absolutely pro-
/ hibit the liquor traffic, the fruitful, undeni-
! able cause Of three-fourths of the crime and
sorrow Of the land. The Supreme Court of
the United States-the highest civil tribu
nal of the Dation-has SO decided.
In view OF the foregoing, we ask the adop-
/ tion Of the following resolutions
Res0LCed, That it is the sense Of this Con-
| ference, representing a communicant white
membership Of about twenty-four thousand
/ and adherents, citizens of the Common
+ wealth, to the number Of one hundred and
/ twenty thousand, that the Legislature of
/ II ssissippi should, at its approaching ses-
I sion, repeal what is known as the Pint
+ Law" and so modify our present liquor
+ laws as to submit the question of license to
/ the vote of each municipality or Super
gisor's District in the State, and also sub
nit prohibitory amendment to the Con-
-titution to the people for their adoption or
/ rejection at the ballot-box, and to such end
/ we present this our earnest memorial.
/ Reso{ced, That every member of this Con-
/ ference should take an active and hearty
interest in this great struggle for reform.
/ ResoLyat, That we consider it a compro-
mise of religious character for any member
of the church to sign liquor petition, or
to vote for avowed liquor men for office.

A Dog Law.
Aberdeen Examiner

Let the legislator who desires the enact.
ment of a "dog law 50 frame his bill as to
make it apply to his own county or district;
in that shape tits hardly likely to be oppos-
ed, and other Senators or Representatives
favoring the measure-where there is no con-
fict in the delegation representing the in
terested county-can move to amend by in
Guiding their respective counties. This will
result in giving protection" to all who ask
it, without needlessly soppressingu others.
