to put prohibition plank In its plat
form, nor would l consent to seek the
Endorsement of any political conven-
ton. Let the parties and their ma
chinery alone. This cause is infinitely
above their range of topics and action.
1t belongs to the people in their high
est freedom and ultimate sovereignty,
and the appeal should be made to the
peoples representatives in the legisla-
ture upon grounds broader and soldier
than any party stands upon. In the
meantime let everything be done that
can be to sustain and improve the cx-
listing legislation on the subject. Ex-
perience has amply proven that regu-
lation does not regulate yet restrain
Ing statutory laws have some value.
and with live public sentiment behind
them, their beneficial power may be so
increased as TO prove the practicability
and expediency of constitutional pro-
hibition."

SOUND ADVICE FROM BISHOP MERRILL,
OF THE NJ. +. CHURCH.

Even righteous cause requires wise
management. Every factor In the prob
lem should have its place. This will
require an bipartisan view of the rela-
ton of this question of prohibition to
the existing political parties.
This issue is great enough to
be separated from all partisan move
ments. 1t is plainly
unwise to commit prohibition to the
keeping of party, any and not less
unwise to attempt to form distinct
party on this ground.
- There is great danger of
impatience at delays, and too much
readiness to regard postponement as
defeat. Great moral achievements re-
quire time, especially when the body of
the people must be brought into action
Reforms move slowly.
In some things delays are dangerous,
and often fatal. Not so In this contest,
Under scarcely any conceivable clrcum-'
ttanccs would ask any political party

To Major GeHerdl Hooker:
GtHrfdt:-l have placed you at the head OF the
Army OF the Potomac. Or course. have done this
upon what appears 10 Inc to he sufficient reasons
and yet think ii best for you to know that there
are some things in regard to which am not quite
satisfied with you l believe you to be a brave and
Skllllul soldier, which. OF course like also be-
l1eve you do not mix politics with your profession
In which you are right.
You have confidence in yourself, which Is n val
uahlc. II not an Indispensable quality. You are
ambitious, which, within reasonable bounds does
good rather than harm. But think that during
General BilrnSlde'S command OF the army Won have
taken counsel or your ambition, and thwarted him
as much as You could. I'm which you do a great
wrong, both to the country and most InerttOfiolS
and honorable brother officer. ! have heard I'm
such way as 10 believe ii, OF your recently saving
That both the army and the government needed a
dictator or course il not for this but In spite
orr, that have given you command. ONLY
those generals WHO gain successes set up as die
tatOrS.
What ask Of you is military success and viii
risk the dictatorship. The government VIII sup
port you 10 the utmost OF It's ability. Wbi r, is
neither more nor less than 1t has done and VIII do
for All commanders. / much fear the spirit Won
have aided 10 fnlSe into the army OF criticiSinp

him, VIII turn upon YOU shall assist YOU as far
as can tG put Il down. Neither you nor Napt-
leon. II he were alive again, could get any good out

The NorCie Irsnjd warns Russian mothers of
a new. religious sect, which has already given
several proofs Of its existence. In Rostoy. on
the Don, an officer engaged a middle-aued
nurse for his thrfe-year old son. She was very
attentive and seemed to love the child but
after two months she suddenly left the situa-
ton and the town. The child began to all the
very next day. lost its memory and suffered
from continual drOwsiness. A week later it
died without having been really i'll. The corpse
was placed III the coffin when young Jewess
burst into the house. threw herself upon the
dead child. and. crying bitterly said: The same
woman poisoned my child. She was my nurse
before, and now she has murdered your poor
boy. The woman spoke the truth. 1t has
been found that in ROstOv there is a society of
chlid-lnurderers. who poison children by means
