Senator Donuau, our gallant Iowa
champion, has secured it's reading in
your own great convention and its ref
erence to your committee. Tomorrow
you will act upon it. On July 8 it will
be presented 10 the Democratic conven-
ton in this city, and on July % to that
of the prohibition home protection par
ty in Pittsburgh, Pa.
A great chief of your party who was
with us as the hero Of your last conven.
ton, said that not in the turmoil of
politics, but at the sacred firoside
hearth does God prepare the verdict of
a great, free people. Let me say, gen.
tlemen, that the party which declares
for national prohibition in 1881 will be
the one for which the temperance wo-
men OF this land will pray and work,
circulate literature, convene assemblies,
and do all in our power to secure its
success. Nor is the influence of these
women to be forgotten or lightly es-
teemed as the past has sufficiently
proved. While have tried to speak,
my spirit has been sustained and sooth-
ed by the presence of tnat devoted
army whom | am here to represent.
AS womanly, as considerate, as gentle
as the women of the w. {. Il. L. from
Alabama to Wyoming would wish me
to be in this presence, / have tried to
be, that might justly represent them
-good-natured as sunshine, steadfast
as gravitation, persistent as a Chris
tian's faith. have no harsh word to
speak of any. The liquor traffic is the
lawful heritage of less wise, less kind
and less enlightened past. For its eX-
istence in this gentler age we are all
more or less responsible.
Let us combine to put it away "with
malice toward none, with charity for
ALL" Daughters of heroes and sisters of
patriots are those for whose dear sake
have dared to speak today. De-
Tocqueville said: Life is neither a
pleasure nor pain; it is serious bust
ness, to be entered on with courage
and in spirit of self-sacrifice." Gen
tlemen, in that spirit | have tried to
speak-not because | wished to be
heard, hut to represent, as best could,
the homes of America in their sacred
warfare against the American saloon.
May God lead and guide us all into
lives and deeds of tenderest charity
and divinest toll for the sorrowful and
weak.
Some OF us have sung the Miriam
song of this great party in other days,
and whether we shall, e'er long, chant
its requiem depends upon whether the
party shall be as true to living issues of
the present as it was true to living is
sues in the past For
New occasions teach new duties;
Time makes ancient good uncouth;
They must upward still and onward
Who would keep abreast of truth.
We ask you to declare in favor Of
submitting to the people a national
constitutional prohibitory amendment.
Gentlemen, ON behalf of the National
Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
! thank you for this courteous hearing

 LONDON, England, July 25.-A sailor from Marseilles, who was being landed at Liver pool in boat after undergoing the prescrib- ed quarantine, was seized with cholera. He was nevertheless conveyed to lodgings in a densely populated part of the city, where upon, the nature of the sickness being de veloped, he is now being attended by physi- cians who advise against his removal to a hospital. The matter has been kept quiet and the facts will doubtless be denied by the authorities in order to avert a scare.

FOUL MURDER AVENGED. Two Brutal Wife SIayers Swung Into
 Eternity.

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 25.--Victor Elvi
 (white) and Kendrick Holland, (colored), wife murderers, were hanged here at o'clock to- day. The condemned were both instructed
 by the priest this morning to make no state ments. The Governor this morning refused respite in both cases. Elvi murdered his wife in 1883. They had been married but a few weeks, and on account of his drunken habits she had left him. She was wheeling a baby carriage on the street when he met her. Springing on the frail woman he struck her violently in the face, and as she raised her hands to ward off the blows which she i'm agined were to follow, he drew 8 large knife and plunged the blade into her body. After his conviction he became very religious and received constant visits from the Sisters of Charity up to this morning. Holland was a desperado and burglar who worked in a ne gro gambling saloon in the slu1ns of Franklin street. Hannah Glover, his wife, was play ing cards with party of negroes in the sa- loon when, not winning as fast as he thought she should after an unheeded reprimand, Holland drew his pistol and shot her in the head, killing her almost instantly Holland also embraced the Catholic religion and was attended to-day by Father O'Callahan. Mass for each was said in their cells this morning
