VIII the w. C. T. U. Drift into Politics!

From the Chicago Interior, Presbyterian, Deccm-
ber 1lth.
1--WE do not say that there is anything
purposely wrong in the course of Miss
Willard and the few women who have
constituted themselves leaders OF the pol
itical movement. And yet she and they
may have been misled by their zeal for
what they regarded as a good cause, into
employing the means contributed for
Christian temperance work in pushing
party politics. The motive may have been
right, but the judgment wrong. They
were for gospel temperance work, not for
political stumpspeaking, and partisan
manGuvering. But there is no possibility
of misunderstanding them now.
They proclaim in emphatic language that
they will not recede-that the w. G. 7. U.

women will never submit 10 be dragoOned
by few determined leaders, against their
convictions and consciences. And so far
as they have the cause OF temperance they
cannot afford to be. For hearty example
we are receiving letters which we will
publish, showing the progress of
the battle for the enforcement Of the laws
in Iowa, and as we read these we think
that we can see that the only thing need.

organization Of women as the W. G. I. U.

politics. But nine.tenths OF the temper
ance people of Iowa are no longer in
sympathy with the W. G. T. U. The re.
suit is that this powerful auxiliary Of
woman's organized influence has disap-
peared.
Let the ladies recall the past. 1t is no
more than they and the Christian public
know TO be true, 10 say, that theirs was
one Of the most morally beautiful as well
as one OF the most potent influences ever
brought into moral reform. The first the
Christian public saw Of woman's organized
work was in foreign missions. II was a
surprise, and one for which Christians in
our own and heather lands gave joyful
thanks to God. The next was this gospel
temperance work, and such work, all ad-
mitted, had never before been done for
temperance.
The secrets and hidings Of lis power
was that il was gospel temperance. II
was doing a work quietly, persistently,
winningly, which, II left undone, all TEN.

blowing against the wind. To that work

The Great Crime.

Not single Dependent or bolter has
yet attempted to defend the practical dis
iranchisement Of 100000 voters at the
South. If there were nothing else TO mark
the hostility of these persons to Republic
an princip es, this alone is enough, that
they have deliberately enabled party to
elect President by nullifying the Con.
stitution, and DISTINGUISHING large part
of those TO whom the Fifteenth Amend.
ment extends the suffrage. This was not
done in ignorance. To these men the fact
was perfectly well known that in 1876 and
earlier several Southern States had been
captured by systematized assassination or
armed revolution; tie usurpation was
crowned with complete success in every
Southern State in the election of 1880, and
that the supporters of Grover Cleveland
had no hope Of electing him except by the
electoral votes of the Solid South, thus
obtained. With full knowledge of this,
the Dependents set themselves TO work TO
reward the party OF assassination and to
crown disfranchisemen with victory. II
they suppose that this thing will be for
gotten by true Republicans, they are great
ly mistaken.
The question Of the Democrats Is still

don, obey the demands Of party rather
than the dictates Of selErespect by pre-.
tending that no wrong Is done at the South,
and the voting Is free and fair, and the
counting honest. Others, like Senator
Morgan, are more manly. They bluntly
affirm that the Acknowledgement Of the
colored people is not and never can be
effective; that the white Democrats of the
South will never permit 1t to be. The
usual pretext, that practical enfranchise-
ment of the colored people Is necessary

"a Southern Democrat" writes an open
letter 10 the Century for January, in which
he says; ~ am free TO confess that Mr..
Cables declaration that the cause of the
Union was just, shocked me little. 1t
slipped in ahead of expectation; 1t seemed
to be, at first glance, somewhat fiippant.
But a little reflection showed me that II IS
only bold and fresh Interpretation OF the
attitude and expressions of thousands and
thousands of Southern people. For in
stance, it is safe to say that there are not
five hundred thinking men in the South
today who believe in secession either as a
principle or as an expedept. There are not
ten who would vote to secede tomorrow,
even though such movement was practic-
able. In other words, there are not Ten

New Principle in Mechanics.

young man living in Louisville, Ky,
claims he has discovered new prin-
ciple in mechanics, by means of which
he can multiply the power of any motor
without loss of motion. The working
model is thus described:
On chair stood an ordinary white
wood box, with shaft from one side.
at either end of which were attached
iron cranks of equal length set centring
on each other. lie first gave an illustra-
ton of the power of the machine by at
taching n tive-pound weight to one
crank and twelve-pound pound weight
to the other at an equal elevation from
the floor; then letting both loose, the
lighter weight raised the other to the
the heighth of the crank.
On being questioned, the inventor
said: Il am not a steam engineer by
trade, but have spent much time
studying the application of all kinds of
power. Sixteen years ago, | conceived
the idea of multiplying power without
any loss of motion. l have worked on
different plans for sixteen years, but
