Temperance in Missouri.

MARsHALL.-The recent temper
ance "boom" here bore rich fruit
age on election day. Every man
on the temperance ticket was elect
ed by a large majority. A process
sion headed by G. G. Holt, (who
has a fashion Of making "large
bodies move not slowly'') and the
Reform Club, marched to the diff
ferent precincts and deposited their
votes. | should say that this pro-
cession met in their hall early in
the morning, and listened to the
reading of Scripture and prayer
by the chaplain and after singing
a hymn they went out on their
peaceful mission.
The ladies served free luuch at
their hall all day. The Catholic
priest came and lunched with the
"boys." Sunday the w. c. T. U.
and the R. G. went to the Catholic
Church, and this true servant of
God addressed them on temper
ance for twenty minutes. During
Mr.. Hollis meetings here, large
number of drinking men signed
the pledge. A good strong W. G.
T. U. was formed and a Band Of
Hope. We have been asked,
"What is the secret of his success 2"
We might mention several things,
such as his ready tact and unfail-
ing good humor, but we think the
fundamental reason is, that he fol-
lows right along in the line marked
out by Him who said, 81 came to
seek and to save the lost Every
man who is sunk in the mire of in
temperance holds some sorrowing
heart in his becrazed grasp. A
mother, sister, wife, daughter, pas
tor, or other dear friend, bewails
the wreck-angels weep over such
a blighted life. Whoever stretches
down loving hand in His name,
to lift such one up, Immediately
attracts to his aid, God, the holy
angels, and all men and women
who truly love our Lord. So letour
temperance workers one and all re-
member that Christ came not to
call the righteous but sinners to
repentance, and that every branch
of our work must recognize this
fundamental principle of Chris
tianity,- Union SiqnaL

Another Defeat.

The distillers and whisky specu-
lators have met another disa ppoint-
ment. Defeated in their persistent
efforts to secure the passage Of the
bonded whisky bill by the last
Congress, they seek to evade in
large part the payment Of the tax
es imposed by the government by
sending the whisky held by them
out of the country and then to
bring it back again as imported
whisky. To this end they sought
certain notifications in the Cana
dian customs regulations which
would enable them to use Canada
for their purpose. 1t happens,
however, that the Canadian FL
nance Minister, Sir Leonard Tilley,
is an uncompromising temperance
man, distinguished member of
the order of the Sons of Temper
ance, and, naturally enough, under
these circumstances an Ottowa tel
egram announces that "the gov
eminent has decided to refuse to
grant any modification of the regu-
lations which would encourage
United States distillers to send
whisky into Canada on oond."
Some other country will, therefore,
have to be found by the distillers
to carry out their plan. AL, honor
to Canada for thus refusing to be-
come party to disgraceful
scheme of American whisky specu-
lation.-National Temperance Advo-
cate.

High and Low License.

The Prohibitionist, Dubuque, Ia,
discussing the question of high
and low license, says:
We are the determined oppo-
merits Of the whole saloon system
from beginning to end. AS between
two evils, the high-license system
possesses some preferences, such as
fewer saloons, more ease in police
surveillance, and more revenue. 1t
p ,s>esses some curses. 1t makes the
business more respectable. 1t in
duces more young men to begin
the drunkard's career. 1t makes a
monopoly of the business, and it
makes the State a co-partner in the
profits derived from the ruin of the
citizees.
"Oar consciences will not allow
us to agree to any license, high or
low. The whole business is wick
ed, wrong, Il sin against God and
humanity, and ought to be extir-
pated, root and branch"

Prohibition Applied to Business.

Mesars. Fowles Brothers, proprie-

P. & p. Co., Of Kansas City, have
taken step in the direction of
prac tical Prohibition, surrounded
by hundreds of the worst gin-mills
in the country, the success of which
will be watched with great interest.
The following is their order:
TO OUR woRKMEN:
WHEREAS, Having suffered great
trouble and annoyance in conse-
quencs of some of our employees in
juring themselves by the use of al
coholic liquors, thereby causing
distress and suffering in their fam
lilies and defrauding their wives
and children of the comforts of
home, we hereby give notice that
any of our employees who are seen
in or hanging around drinking sa-
looms or gambling houses, whether
during working hours or at any 9TH
err time or are known to use alco-
holic liquors or other intoxicating
beverages in any form or degree,
shall be Immediately discharged by
us without notice.

Beer Politics.

The Washington beer organ, the
Sentinel, says:
eff the friends of personal liberty
remain true to themselves they can
soon overcome their enemies. Let
them continue to support their
friends and defeat their opponents
1t is at the polls and nowhere else
that they can find protection and

There is another edge to that
political sword which, we trust,
will be made to do more effective
service than heretofore against the
