THE COUNTY TEMPERANCE
CONVENTION.

The annual meeting of the County
Temperance Society will be held at
Glover, Jan. 80, according to previ-
Gus announcement. AS we have from
time to time held official positions in
this organization, criticisms in this
article which reflect on the society or
its doings will, of course, be largely
appropriated by ourselves. This soci-
ETY. has been in existence several years
and has in its day been promotive of
considerable good. Latterly it has
met annually, discussed temperance
matters, passed resolutions, nominat-
ed candidate for County Commits
sioner, adjourned and gone home
satisfied with the good done, past,
present and eXpectant. 1t is not
necessary to say that no marked ben
eficial results have been seen from
this annual gathering of a few tenn
perance men in the county. Those
who attend these meetings, for the
greater part, are true temperance
men who would do a reasonable
amount of work in any direction of
reform, but like other mortals, they
| do not assume to do all the work that
| the public desires to see done. They
are responsible, however, in SO far as
they are depended upon to inaugurate
and carry forward movements which
strengthen the temperance cause in
the county. At different times the
society has been the means of organ
izing auxiliary societies in towns and
villages, which have done much good.
The county society ought to take
upon itself large responsibilities fol-
good. The annual meetings, though
not as fully attended as they deserve.
usually bring together a sufficient
number Of temperance men to organ
ize movement that might be a great
power in the county. The few things
: that are especially needed are organ
ization, philanthropy, labor and cour
} age; organized effort for the purpose
of putting temperance men and WON
, en- at work all over the county; phi
lanthropy that the large number wh'
are willing to labor for the good o
1 others may see the evils resulting
e from the sale and use of liquors, ant
work for the suppression of the evil
= labor, that the constant, AGGRESSIVE
efforts of the liquor vendors may b
: met with such opposition as to max
e the liquor trade dangerous, unprofit
s able and contemplate, and courag
to punish all violators of the law.

after the debt has all been paid, and
that will prevent undue contraction
while it is being extinguished.
A national convention of CONNER
cial bodies will meet Wednesday
in this city in Williard's Hall. on
the question of uniform system of
bankruptcy. 1t viii be attended by
at least two hundred delegates repre-
senting exchanges, chambers of com
meree, boards of trade, and mercan-
tile associations in the most impor-
tant commercial circles in the United
States. The object is to present to
the Judiciary committee of the two
Houses the formulated sentiment of
the business men of the country with
regard to bankruptcy bill that will
be alike equitable to debtor and cred
itor classes. The framework of a
bill has already been prepared, and
it is proposed committee to be ap-
pointed at the meeting, shall present
this for the consideration of Senator
Edmunds and Representative Tucker,
who are the chairmen respectively of
the Senate and the House Judiciary
committees. It is expected after
general interchange of views, that
bill can be prepared, to meet the ap-
proval of both chairmen and of all
interests concerned. This measure
will then be submitted to Congress,
accompanied by an earnest appeal
for it's consideration.
Another matter that demands eally
legislation is in regard to Indian af-
fairs. Under existing treaties, the
tribes of the Northwest are intolerant
of the rapid encroachments of civil
ization upon their reservations
through the advancement of railroads,
and threaten to give serious trouble
unless some satisfactory policy shall
be settled upon without delay. The
committee in charge of this grave
problem confess themselves perplexed
as to what measure will be eXpedi-

FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA. Mr.. Ed
munds was rather unexpectedly elect
ed president pro TEN of the senate
to-day. The republican caucus this
morning agreed to elect Mr.. Anthony,
but on the understanding that he
would decline it. Then they could
not agree upon a man to elect in Mr..
Anthony's place. 1t was found, too,
that Mr.. Edmunds, if it was insisted
upon, would agree to serve. 1t is
understood that the state OF the pres
ident's health was the subject of some
comment and that some senators said
that they had been informed by DR..
Baxter that the president had heart
affection. 1t is understood that DIR.
Baxter told Senator Edmunds that at
all events it was his opinion that it
was Mr.. Edmund's duty to serve and
ne nnally consented.
The house was occupied to-day
with the introduction of bills. In the
six weeks since congress met hardly
anything has been done in the house
but the introduction of bills, and over
400 are now on file. The expense of
printing them is great, and as many
of them were old bills that have been
presented in former congresses and
stand no chance of going through,
the money paid for printing them is
thrown away. Many of the printed
bills are sold in bulk to the market
dealers, especially the butter men who
use them as wrappers for their goods.
The scandal of ex-members Of the
house, who have the right to the
floor, abusing their privilege by lob
bying on it has become so great that
Speaker Carlisle has drafted rule
which he will submit to the committee
on rules providing that when any ex-
member is found lobbying, he shall
be reported to the committee and ex-
PEELED from the floor. Mr.. Carlisle
says that nothing but vigorous meas
ures can stop the scandal.

WISE WORDS FOR CHICAGO.

Senator Edmunds states the pres
idential situation with epigrammatic
force when he says: "The duty of
the Chicago convention will be the
selection of candidates to fit the par
ty and not an effort to make the par
ty fit the candidates. Then there
will be no difficulty about the rest of
the work, for every member of the
party will throw all his zeal into the
contest and we will have an old time
victory"
1t would be difficult to state the
case in a wiser form than the above.
This view excludes any attempt to
control state delegations in the inter-
est of any candidate, and it excludes
also the tyranical unit rule which
came so near disrupting the party
both before and at the national con-
vention four years ago. 1t presup-
poses that the several delegations
will be untrammelled by instruction
except to ''get the BEST" and that
they will go to Chicago determined
to nominate a ticket that will win by
nominating one that deserves to win.
1t signifies, also, that the aspirant
who, by himself or his friends, at
tempts to force a nomination will
stand the least chance of getting it.

Although he is one of the best in
formed men in congress, with rec
ord covering a period of more than a
quarter of century, Hon. S. S. Cox
has been superseded as a member of
the board of regents of the Smithso-
MAN Institute. His successor Is q
southern man. 1t is a piece Of
Speaker Carlisle's work and spite.

The Scott law in Ohio, under
which saloons are subjected to spe-
cial tax, equivalent to high license
fee, has closed up $500 places where
liquor was formerly sold, and brought
81 800, 700 into the local treasures
of the state. AS the constitution of
Ohio forbids license, there is nothing
which the democrats can provide to
take the place of the existing laws
that will yield any revenue.

The voting population of six south
ern states, estimated on a basis Of
one vote to five inhabitants, would,
according to the population as given
by the last census, be as follows:
Alabama, white voters 1872, 1S5, col
ored 12O,O21; Florida, white %, 521,
colored 25,338; Georgia, white 1885,
381, colored 145, 026; Louisiana,
white 10000, colored 6,731; Mis-
sissippi, white $3.50, colored $780,
058; South Carolina, white 78,448,
colored 20,864. At the last cleo
ton in Alabama the democratic ma
jority was $4,000; in Georgia, 80,
O74; in Florida, 1927. The first
two are simply preposterous on their
face. On the supposition that every
white man voted the democratic tick
ct, and every colored man the repub-
lican, the largest majorities the dem
ocrats could fairly poll would be
about II, 900 in Alabama and $4,000
in Georgia. On the assumption of a
fair election in Mississippi, the re-
publicans would have majority of
some 1000, instead of which the
democratic returning boards in 1886
gave Hancock over Garfield 40,896
In South Carolina the republicans
would have a majority of about 49,,
900, while the democrats actually re-
turned 54,241 against Garfield. Ii
Louisiana the republicans would have
some 5000 majority, but the demo
CRATES in 1880 figured up majorit,
on their side of 80, 419. These facts
which we find in the Boston Trovel
Ter, would indicate that there ar
some things that need reform beside
the tariff and the y service.

good authority that she left only about
$500, 1000 of the amount to her heirs.
She had no children and therefore be-
slowed her money where she believed it
would do the most good. Hers was a
noble life.
