COOP CAUSE FOR ALARMING won
der that the business men of Chicago as we'll as
men representing most of the leading professions
are beginning to unite in Citizens League for
the purpose of rescuing this city from the hands
of the whiskey men. Chicago has $500 Ii
censed liquor shops and if we add to these the
drug-stores, groceries and other places where
liquor is sold without license, it makes 5000
dispensaries of intoxicants within the city lin
it's That gives one dram-shop to every one
hundred and twenty inhabitants. There are
about $500 stores, groceries, butcher and baker
shops for the supply of food in Chicago, Just
about half as many places for the supply of
food as there are for selling liquor. The Mayor
and railing spirits in the city government are
hand in glove with the saloon and gamblers and
thieves. 1t Is asserted by Hon. Emery Storrs,
In the Tribune that great many criminals as
they get out of the Penitentiary at Joliet are at
once furnished with certificate of good moral
character by the city authorities of Chicago and
enter at once into the saloon business Moth
thing short of a general movement and unity
OF effort on the part of the better element in
Chicago can stem the tide against this flood of
lnlquity. On the North Side alone there are
652 saloons, and thirty-eight churches. Here
is coed field for the Evangelical Ministers
Alliance in this city, and tor the Congregational
Club and for every other respectable organiza
tlon' to get In its best work at once-The Ad-
Udnce.

and bulgarian languages at the Bible House.
These have larger circulation than any other
native periodicals., and reach not less than 500
towns and villages in all parts of the empire.
Religious tracts and religious and educational
books, In the same languages, also in Greek and
Osmanli-Turkish, and in other languages, have
been prepared and issued. Among these are
text books in arithmetic algebra, geometry,
geography, English grammar in Armenian
astronomy intellectual philosophy, moral
science, D'Aubigne's History of the Reforma-
ton in Germany" History of the Christian
handbook, textbook of theology, " Pilgrims
Progress" natural theology. Evidences of
Christianity" Christian Doctrine" Confess
sion of Faith of Reformed Churches, Cause
and Cure of In6delity," Armenian Concord
ance," etc.
The influence of such issues of the press, and
Of the evangelistic and educational work per-
formed, cannot but be great. How far it reach
es and what it portends, is little indicated by
statistics of present visible results. The forces
which in the Spring bring forth the resurrection
OF the outer world from the grave of Winter,
cannot be weighed or measured The dawn
comes imperceptibly upon the darkness and
brightens into day. In faith and patience we
await the coming glory of the new moral crea-
travail of his soul and be satisfied
AT the repeated request of missionaries in
Turkey, the Prudential Committee of the Ameri-
can Board has had in contemplation for over
two years plan for sending, at some fitting
time, deputation from the Missionary Rooms
to visit the Turkish missions for full and free
conference with missionaries and churches upon
several important questions of missionary policy
presented in the memorandum adopted by the
Prudential Committee in 1884, and reprinted
in the last annual report. The missionaries in
recent letters have expressed their earnest desire
that no account of the bearing of these ques-
lions on the estimates for the coming year the
deputation be sent without further delay The
special committee appointed at the meeting in
Portland has also requested the prudential COM
mittee to send deputation to Turkey, to be
present at Constantinople with the deputation
OF that special committee. AS the annual meet
ing of the Western Turkey Mission, at which
delegates from the other Turkish missions will
be present is to be held in May, at Constantine
pie, the Prudential Committee have requested
DIR. Thompson, with Secretaries Clark and AL
den, to attend that meeting for full and free
conference with the missionaries and churches,
as suggested above We understand that the
secretaries will probably leave early in April.
DIR. Thompson will be unable to 60 The secre-
taries will probably be able to visit the Euro
pean Turkey Mission also. We learn that the
special committee appointed at Portland has in
vited President Chaplin, of Beloit College and
Prof. Mead, who is now in Germany, to act as
visiting deputation to the Western Turkey Mis-
sion, and that they have accepted the invita-
tfon.-IndependeRt.

Monthly Review of Missions.

We have recent letters from Rev. Messrs.
Kennedy and Lloyd, the former laboring in the
northern part and the latter in the southern
portion of the Choctaw country Both have
suffered from chills and fevers consequent upon
exposure to inclement weather Their labors
as we'll as those of others in the same field have
been much interrupted during the winter by
high water, bad roads, and very cold weather.
Both of the brethren above mentioned were in
better health at the time of their writing.
We have intelligence from Hangchow to the
18th January, and from Soochow to the 22d of
the same. So far as reported, all the members
of the mission weAe well at both stations A
letter from Mr.. Stuart, published below, gives
an account of the Encouragement of the mission
airy force at both stations, and WHOM we learn
Is entirely satisfactory to all parties According
to this arrangement, Mr. Du Bose and Mr..
Davis occupy Soochow as formerly Mr. Stuart
Mr.. Sydenstricker and DR.. Fshburn occupy
Hangchow; Mr.. Painter and Mr. WOODBRIDGE
have gone to Marking with he view of 10
eating the Stuart-Robinson Mission" in that
place, or IN the same region whilst Mr. Hous-
ton was expecting to return to this country to
bring his motherless children home. No changes
were made 80 far as the female laborers are con-
cerned. Mr.. Du Bose makes an earnest appeal
for laymsn to be sent out to assist Mr.. Davis
and himself in their work at Soochow
We have letter from Dr. Kalopothakes of
February mentioning that Mr.. Sampson had
gone to Naples to see his family sail for this
country. but was expected back with the return
OF the steamer. He mentions also that he and
his family had thus far been spared from the
pestllence which was so prevalent in the city.
A letter from Mr. Wardlaw dated the third
OF January, mentions that he himself was well
but that Mrs. Wsrdlaw was somewhat feeble.
Mr.. Wardlaw breaches steadily to good and ap-
parently interested audiences, but in the midst
OF much bitter opposition. He has no fears Of
personal violence, and the priesthood do them
selves much discredit in stimulating this OPP
position The Missionary for April.

sasrs, deep In ths bowels Of the earth,
here is mysterious tide which ebbs

tithes and rent. which are spent in Lon

least $50 ,000, 900 with them, Next year
not less than $l00, O00,0 900 Of foreign
capital will arrive here. In Ireland

France the condition of the peasantry
is about as bad az possible. The En-
glish are beginning to see that every
thousand miles Of new railway in this
country is opening up the great west 10
the English and bringing its products
nearer to the English markets. They
want and will buy at fair prices every

crops will be failure this year and we
will have an ample market for all we
can export.

A PREMATURE DECISION.

The Superior Court was in session in
one of the lower counties of the circuit,
and the solicitor and counsel for defense
were engaged in the selection of jury
for the iri-! OF man charged with
| murder
As i usaal in sGch cases, some diff
Guilty - \ expert, ed in obtaining a
| jury, and lae cOaft - getting tired of
such tedious proceedings.
"Cali the next juror, Mr.. Clerk" said
the solicitor, for the hundrsdth time.
The clerk called oat the name, and an
old man with an honest face and a suit
Of blue jeans clothes rose In his place,
and the solicitor asked the following
customary questions:
Have you. from having seen the
crime committed. or having heard any
of the evidence delivered under oath,
formed or expressed an opinion as TO the
guilt or innocence Of the prisoner at
the BARI"
mo, SIR,
ais there any bias or prejudice resting
on your mind for 0r az inst the prisoner
at the bar?s
"None, SIR"
"Is your mind perfectly impartial be-
tween the State and the aocused!"
at is"
"Are you opposed to capital punish
mentg'
I'm not"
All the questions had been answered.
and the court was congratulating itself
on having another juror when the soil
citor in solemn tones said:
Juror. look upon the prisoner; pris-
oner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his spectacles
and peerinRly pazed at the prisoner for
full half a minute, when he turned his
eyes toward the court and earnestly
said:
Judge. I'll be condemned if don't
believe he's guiltyr'
Ii is unnecessary TO add that the court
was considerably exasperated at having
lost juror, but the more humorously
inclined had a good laugh at the old
mans premature candor.
