Plain and Practical Talk from the Organ of
that Denomination in the Northwest.
Editorial in the Standard. Chicago.
We are in favor of securing the suppression of
the liquor traffic and the long list of SIM and
crime, and poverty, and wretchedness, taxation
and woe which follow in its train, by any practi-
cable means. 1t appears TO us that, in the pres
ent condition of the controversy, prohibitory
enaetments which shall strike at the root of the
evil are the only effective instrumentality to ac-
compIish this. 1t requires good deal of wis
DOM however, to decide as to the best course to
be pursued to secure those enactmonts. The
two ways which present themselves, and
which have advocates and opponents are
separate political organization, or de-
pendence upon the existing parties. Could
the end be secured by the latter method, but few
would favor resort to the former. temper
ance organ lying before US says: 1.-The necessity
of a Prohibition party rs apparent from the fact
that both the old political parties have for years
coveted the whisky and beer vote" Admitting
this to be a fact to a certain extent what else
have they donel In the first place, prior to the
war they gave us fourteen prohibitory States.
Within the past few years-mainly within the
past five years-they have given us e0nstitu-
tionai prohibition in three States, Maine, Kansas
and Iowa; local option, prohibition in another
FORM in Maryland massachusetts,, Connecticut,
New York, Kansas Louisiana, South Carolina,
Alabama, and Mississippi; something about as
good in Tennessee: in prohibitinga saloon within
four miles of a school house; high license
in Nebraska, Missouri Illinois and Minnesota;
opportunity for constitutional prohibition in
Ohio had majority favoring it, and majority
in the Legislatures of four other States would
have done the same had it not required two
thirds And all this in the teeth and against
the fierce opposition of the whisky and beer
interest And while this has been going on, the
Prohibitionists have not as separate party
carried single State in favor of their measure,
though they have been running presidential,
Stale, and local candidates for years. When the
parties will not aid the temperance people, then
necessity will arise for separate action. 1t
they have been going the lastfve, for prohibition
in some form to prevail the country over.

The Democrats have discovered huge mares

Ireland under the coercion act for melting the
people to resist the British government, and
claimed the protection of the American govern
ment as u naturalized citizen Mr.. Lowell and
Mr. Blaine, who was then Secretary of State,
declined to make any demand on the English
government for McSweeneys release, though
they interceded in his behalf. McSweeney came
to this country and was naturalized in Allen
town. Pa, in 1853. In 1877 he returned to Ire
land and was elected to the Office of poor-law
guardian, and when the Land League move
lnent was started ne took an active part in it
and was one of the most extreme of the leaders
in opposing the payment OF rent and in resist

think That Mr. Lowell did too much for him. He
had held an Office under the British governments.
1t seems strange to me that the County Denoc-

should take UP his ease so enthusiastically now.
He was over here in May last trying to raise
money for the poor of his district. At that time

LONDON, Oct 15.-Gen De lIsle telegraphs
from Chu, on the upper Loochuan river, under
date of Monday as follows:
Colonel Dunseath, after brilliant engage
ment on Friday. carried the heights command
ing the fortress These heights formed point
dappui of a large intrenched Chinese camp,
which was defended by five casemate forts.
The Chinese force was very large, and their losses
during the engagement were heavy. On Satur
day they attempted to assume the offensive, but
our artillery strewed the ground with Chinese
bodies After losing all positions, the Chinese
fed toward Langson, hating near Pheetonong
and Kharics. The French loss was twenty
killed, including officers, and ninety wounded.
Two officers are wounded. Our troops were ami
mated with the greatest ardor. The Chinese en-
gagged were part of the best troops of the empire,
were perfectly armed, and maneuvered in
European style. The Chinese loss was 5000
killed, including their chief commander. The
Chinese invasion of Tonquin has been arrested
in the direction of Langson."
Official advices to the French government
state that the losses of the French in the recent
defeat at Tamsui were 16 killed and 40 wounded.

of congratulation the result of the election in
Ohio and then introduced General Fremont
Both gentlemen were very enthusiastically re-

speeches at the same places. There was great
crowd at Lansing and several short speeches
were made.
This days journey was very long one-247
each was necessarily short There were twenty
nine places at which Blaine and General Ere
meut were called out but there really no
speeches made In each case Mr. Blaine merely
congratulated the people upon the Ohio victory,
and called upon them to initiate it in Michigan,
and then General Fremont was introduced. At
most of the points where stops were made the
crowds were remarkably large, considering the
population of the region traversed. The
news from Ohio and Mr. Blaine coming togeth-
or, seemed to have wrought fhe people up to
high pitch OF excitement, and the cheering and
enthusiasm could not be exceeded. 1t WIS dark

Declaring Against Candidates Who Would
Destroy the Social Fabric.
Erie (Pa. Especial
The Methodist Episcopal conference of Erie
adjourned to-day after holding daily session, for
one week. The conference was attended by
about two hundred ministers, and was presided
adiourning, the committee on morals brought in
a report, in which was the following
''Your committee, to whom was referred the
question of public morality, finds it necessary to
call attention to few matters of present and
urgent interest The first item is associated
with the pending presidential election. 1t is.
therefore, of national Importance, and touches
the honor and interest of every Amer
lean citizen. As in the past 50 in the
future, this conference will hold itself aleof
from party politics. nevertheless, whenever the
American people arc asked to vote for any can
didate for Office whose election would sap the
foundation offamily relations, destroy the sacred
fabric of society and corrupt the morals Of the
Nation, 1t is our duty to protest in words that
cannot be misunderstood We taught by
the Scriptures that when the wicked rule the
people mourn, and the student of history has
seen this statement verified, when drunkenness,
debauchery and their attendant crimes in high
places have, like leaven, infected more or less
all orders of society, and have been attended by
want, misery and degradation. AS in this re
public the people choose their own officers, each
citizen is personally, directly and morally re-
sponsible for the part he acts in the selection of
the nations legislators judges and rulers. 1t
should be distinctly understood by all parties
that among the American people there exists an
intelligent moral sentiment, supported by an
active conscience. that feels the shock of an in
suit when presented with a candidate for high
office, whose corruptions are unquestioned and
understood
