The Assembly did good work yesterday IN
pushing forward the city reform measures re-
ported by the Roosevelt investigating Com
mittec All of the bills have now been ordered
to a third reading excepting the one relating TO
searches i'll the Finance Department and the
Croton Water Bureau. That is to be amended
TO meet the views of the committee. 1t
does not go far enough now, rs it provides Tor
the abolition of only a small part of the Illegal
fees cxacted for searches in the Finance Depart
ment. Another reform bill was introduced IN
both houses yesterday which provides plan to
separate the Election Bureau from the Police
Department. The less the police have to do
with political wo,k of any kind the better. The
Commissioners have frequently announced
themselves in favor OF separating the Election
Bureau from the department. The bill will
probably meet with little opposition.

Now what great blessing is it that We
are to gain by being a state. Life, ''b-
erty and the pursuit Of happiness are
lust as secure now as under state. 1t
seems that the nearer We come to the
conditions of the states the harder the
times get and the poorer we are.
The. railroads instead of helping lis has
only bankrupted the industries of the
country except perhaps the mining
interest that now wants further protec-
ton by being forever hereafter exempt
from paying taxes. Now. we have not
the necessary population to entitle us to
a state. By the census of 1880 we had
only about (3sOOO) thirty eight thousand
and it is now very doubtful whether We
have over fifty thousand. 1t is not def
nitely stated what amount that will en-
title us to be state but it ought to be
enough for one representative in congress,
Q2O.OO0.)
Now, with scarcely half enough we
are trying to get into the union with n 1t
enough people to make decent fourth
rate city Of the great state Of New York
to put the senators in the United States
Senate, equal in all respects to New
York. No, we had Setter wait until We
can walk first. We are doing we'll as we
are and had better let well enough alone
and not try to bind forever the infant
state by species Of unjust laws that Will
forever injure our fair home and make
ourselves the laughing stock of the
world DIR. W. }. SLOWER.

was 81 per capita. Maine is prohibi-
tory state whose average whisky tax was
fonr cents per capita, while the average
tax for each inhabitant for the whole
country was $40. One Ct the states
New Jersey has already made it pen
al offense to sell CIGARETTES to boys, thus

est Of all evils.
8. We also call your thoughtful atten-
ton to the kindred evil of using opium,
. poison which, though it curses the
home of its victim less. degrades and
curses the victim himself even more, if
possible, than alcohol.
Since the Orient and the Occident are
uniting in our great Temperance work,
which already belts the globe, we appeal
to you in behalf of the many victims to
this degrading opium evil among the
Chinese and other Asiatis in our Terri
tory.
8. Since literature is the mcst fertile
source of information and education
among intelligent people, we appeal for
your pecuniary assistance in flooding our
territory with interesting and attractive
temperance literature, which, while it
instructs our youth in the principles of
sobriety and good citizenship, will also
help to supplant the vast amount of cor
rupt reading which is SO a,armingly vici-
ating the facile minds Of our rising gene
ration.
Temperance literature of the kind we
have indicated is so maryelously cheap
that any person actuated by mission
airy spirit could supply small neighbor-
hood for a year with the money ordinar-
lily expended by tobacco user in sin
gle month.
Any one wishing for such kind of tenn
perance ammunition can be supplied,
direct, by writing to Julia Coleman, SUD-
cIIItCuucut VI htcIo'y department, -
Bible House, New York city.

traffic is in the law which licenses and
protects it. and since law is the result of
a sentiment expressed by the Ballot, we
therefore, appeal to you finally, to aid us
in securing the right to that ballot, on
an equality with man, On all matters ef-
fecting temperance and school legislation
that we may protect our homes from our
direst foe. And we ask you not to re-
verse the divine order by putting the
question of expediency before that of
principle by asking lis it best" instead
of lis it right"
If we have the moral right to protect
our homes, as the rum traffic has the le-
gal right to assail them. then we modest
" ask your assistance in securing our
rights. leaving any and all questions of

Mothers Baby.

Oh! The purity and disinterestedness
ola mothers love for her baby. She cares
nothing for herself when baby is in the
question, and denies herself food, sleep
and rest, all for its sake. When she bends
over its cradle and croons to 1t. and:"God
bless my baby" her prayer is heard in
heaven, for when a mother sends that
little petition to the Throne of Grace, it
is meant, every word of it. How her
heart reaches out toward it, and almosts
bursts with the fnllness fits overlooking
love. Mothers baby has never in after
years held such plac, in anybody 8 heart
as it held in mothers for several years
after it was born. From the moment
when first she pressed its velvetty cheek
to hers, until the hour when it left the
parental roof Young man or young
woman, mothers love for it has been
stronger than her love for herself, and
there has never been single minute in
all that time that she would not have
gladly interposed her own heart to re.
ceive a shaft leveled at the heart of her
baby-her boy or girl,-and even now, if
that baby were i'll, and she could reac

not hesitate to undertake the journey
and when she got to its bedside she would
waking, minister to the wants, and refuse
food until it was cared for, even if she
had neither eaten nor slept during all
her long journey.
Did you ever see a mother bending
oyer the PROSTATE form of her sick baby?
She smoo.hes its brow and moistens its
lips, and talks to it, and breathes prayers
for its preservation, to heaven, 80 silently
that none but heaven ever hears them.
She kneels by its cradle when its father
and brothers and sisters are all soundly
sleeping. She sits up and holds it ON her
bosom in the little hour beyond midnight,
and when the gray dawn braaks over the
tree.tops in the east, she is still grooming
and soothing her darling baby. She viii
not sleep until the eye Of day is wide
open and all the house astir, and even
then its faintest cry awakes her, end she
hurries to its side.
Did you ever see baby die in its mo-
theirs arms? The little lips livid with
the sluggish blood; the lite nose pinched
and white; the dimples on its. cheeks anG
chin drawn into long, hard lines, all tell
the father it is dying, and he puts it in
its mothers arms, and dashing a tear
from his eye, says: Mother, it is not for
long. The deathdew is on its brow and
We must give it up" But she cannot
give it up. The saws it must live, and |
she presses it to her warm bosom and
prays in silence once again, and breathes
upon its purple fingers. and rocks it to |

lullaby, hoping against hope to WOO it

comes short and difficult, then ceases.
and the father says: "Tis Dead" but she,
and hoping vet, raises it in her
arms. 1t gasps, and she cries that it will
live; but no, that faint gasp was the final
struggle. and though she again raises it,
it breathes no more. Mothers baby is

6. We appeal to all ministers and
churches in Montana to use unferment-
ed wine in the celebration of the Lords
Supper, since it is an undisputed fact
that some weak" brethren have had
slumbering appetites awakened by the
use of fermented wine in this ordinance,
and since the world is looking to you
for an example III this great reform, now
so largely occupying the attention of all
intelligent minds, we make this appeal
on the broad ground of Christian expe-
pediency, and human welfare, occupied
by the Apostle Paul when he said, IF
meat make my brother to offend, l will
eat no flesh while the world standeth,
lest make my brother to Offend"
The unfermented wine can be obtain
ed just as easily and more cheaply than
any other, and we believe We have the
concurrence of all good people when we
assert that the dying love Of our Divine
Master is more fifty commemorated in
the use of that which is called "the fruit
of the vine," than the questionable use
Of what contains that poisonous element
alcohol. which has become the greatest
curse of modern times.
2. We ask you to discountenance and
discourage, in all proper ways. the use of
tobacco.
1t is fact, established by unimpeach-
able authority, that the use of tobacco,
in any form, is not only an obnoxious
and expensive habit, but creates an un.
natural Thirst, and is a stepping stone
down to intempeTance.
In evidence of this statement we point
to the fact that the revenue tax on to-
bacco in the State Of Maine last year was |
seventeen cents per capita, while the
