The Literature Committee Of the Good
Templars have just issued new book with
the above title, which should be in the hands
of every man and woman.
1t contains seven great speeches by Hon.
John b. Finch, made in Iowa, Kansas and
Wisconsin cam paigns. Every argument of
the liquor dealers is taken up and answered.
A great speech by Hon. o. p. Mason ex-
Chief Justice of Nebraska, "Are Liquor Deal
ers entitled to indemnity for property injur-
ed by Prohibition"
great speech by Hon. Albert Horton,
Chief Justice of Kansas, Loyalty to Law"
These speeches were made in the great bat
ties which have shaken the continent and
meet the real arguments of a desperate traffic.
No such book was ever before offered the
workers. Every prohibitionist should get
one for himself and his neighbor
In the great battle to be fought in the next
few years, every man should have these
facts.
The book is printed on fine paper bound
in cloth, contains 800 pages, and fine steel
engraving of Mr.. Finch. Price, one dollar.
Send on your money, and if you are not
satisfied after examining book, money will
be REFUNDED.

The Prohibitory Constitutional
Amendment, after an earnest de-
bate. was defeated in the House by
a vote of SO to 40.
The Minnesota Temperance ReUle~
commenting upon this defeat, says
"And so the Republican party
goes upon it's record as opposed to
Constitutional Prohibition, and
having defiantly declared that the
people have no right to vote upon
this question. The Republican
party Of Minnesota steps in between
the people and their reserved rights
and snubs the thousands OF lntelll-
gent men and women who asked
for the preliminary legislation nee
essary for the exercise of these
rights under the constitution. No
more impolite thing could have
been done by the party leaders, and
it is the beginning Of the end OF
Republican rule in this State"

Tenaeus, IN Neao York Observer.

"Irenaeus," editor of the New
| York Observer, after glancing
through the bloody chapter of one
days tragedies inthe saloons of New
York city, takes this daily record
Of bloody crimes for a text and
breaches an editorial sermon that
will apply here as well as there,
and wherever the crime breeding
liquor-traffic is tolerated.
Referring to the saloon scenes re-
cited, Irenaeus says;
Scenes not unlike these occur
nearly every day in the year in the
saloons of this city. If they were
reported from the dens of vice in
new settlements, on the outskirts
of civilization, we would wonder
that anybody goes there to live, or
rather to run the risk of being kill
ed, in the vicinity of such savages.
But they form part of the daily life
Of the great metropolis of the con-
tinent. While intelligent Chris
tan citizens are enjoying the lux
unes that religion and wealth and
education furnish, they are able to
reflect, if they will think of it, that
within pistol shot Of their houses
and churches, colleges and schools,
these are almost constantly in pro
gress. And the second reflection
is, that all these tragedies are per-
formed under one inspiration.
that of strong drink. Billy Nc
Glory and Company are licensed by
the city authorities to keep and sell
the material which is the inspir-
ing cause of this violence and blood
shed. Thus the city, the constitu-
ted government of the people,
which represents the average civ
ilization of the great community, is
party to the state of things which
we are now deploripg. 1t comes to
just this and nothing less. There is
no nearer connection between any
effect and it's cause, than there is
between the liquor-saloon and crime
and blood. And as the Government
maintains these saloons, and takes
money for the permission given
Billy McGlory and Company to
furnish the fue. for the fires, the
Government is morally responsible
for the mischief that results.
| must write of that which is for
the moment the most pressing on
the mind. And cit is borne in up
on me-" that the most serious, i'm
portant, and momentous question
OF the day is involved in the mat
ter OF temperance or intemperance
IN the use Of intoxicating drinks.
There is no party issue so nearly
vital to the welfare Of this country.
Inc tariff, the currency, everything
dWlndles, when compared with the
gigantic proportions Of the lncreas-
ing evil that comes from this one
pestllent source.
Where there is a public senti-
ment that will sustain laws to put
the traffic on the same footing with
wees and sources of vice, by all
means let US make laws to help in
saving the people. And we may
labor and pray to bring the people
up to that high-water mark of vir-
tue where such laws will be made
and sustained. But push the sub
Ject aside as we may, treat it as
vulgar, dull, and dreary question
to be attended to only by pro-
lessional reformers, who are often
regarded as great bores, the subject
will not be put down, 1t is on us
and around us, and we must deliver

Making Public Sentiment.

Waiting for public sentiment !
What kind of an attitude is that
for true and earnest man to take
In the presence of a needed moral
reform? Paul did not wait for pub
lie sentiment to support him in
preaching the Gospel; he went to
work and made public sentiment.
Richard Golden did not wait for
public sentiment to be well defined
and clamorous before he began his
agitation for corn-law repeal; he
set out solitary and alone, and win
ming John Bright and few other
able men to his side, he traversed
the land, planning, speaking, agi-
tating. He created a public senti-
ment before which Sir Robert Peel
and the whole Tory party were on
ly as so much chaf before the wind.
Bismarck did not wait for public
sentiment to push him to the task
of unfying and solidifying Ger
many; he pushed the people and
brought them to his own mind.
The heroic Garabaldi did not wait !;
he saw clearly what ought to be
done to redeem Italy from the
thralldom of the Pope, and make it
nation amongst nations, and he
threw himself into the breach and
led the way to victory. The dead
Gambetta did not wait; he took
the people in their hour of despair
and trained them into hope; when
they were in confusion and organ
lied them when parties were plot
ting and dethroned dynasties were
scheming for reinstatement, and
made France a Republic. Neal
Dow did not wait for public senti-
ment to support him in his demand
for prohibition. Month after month,
year after year, he and his faithful
co-workers wrought at the business
of making public sentiment, and
they did it. Public sentiment does
not make itself. Public sentiment
does not move forward Of itself.
When there is vigorous public SEN
timent on any question of morals,
it is because somebody has taken
an advanced position. and educated
and drawn the people up to it. If
all who think and even say it would
be a good thing to close liquor sa-
looms, and to put out the fires In
these distilleries and breweries, and
to stay the vast waste of strength
and thought and time and money,
and homes and hopes and lives,
would only say it without "ifs"
and lands" and "buts," and having
said it would stand by it, public
sentiment on this liquor business
would swell and press on like an
incoming tide, and in little while
there would be laws looking to the
suppression of this evil which
would have in them the force OF
the right hand of God.
Meantime let no man or woman
lose heart, for in spite of -backset-
ting eddies here and there, and
st4gnant basins, the great stream
of temperance sentiment and con-
viction and purpose moves steadily
forward. Req. F. 4. Noble.

How Watch Cases are Made.

In 1875, thirteen men comprised the
entire working force used in the manu-
facture Of the James Boss Gold Watch Case.
Now over fac hundred are employed, and the
number is constantly increasing. The rea-
son of this increase Is this: In the James
Boss Gold Watch Case all the metal in sight
and subject to wear is solid gold, while the re-
mainder, which only lends strength to the
case, is of stronger metal than gold,
giving gold where gold is needed, and
strong, elastic metal where strength and
elasticity are needed, combination pro-
ducing watch case better than solid gold
and at oNE-HALF the cost. ~ nan,

have been sold, and every jewelsr in the
