My Dear Sister and Friend:
So often do my thoughts seek them out
and my prayers follow after their patient
workers, that have resolved to send a
letter of tender remembrance and inquiry
toevery w. G. T. U. which it has been my
rare fortune to visit in the last four years.
Ho,c goes the battle s' This is question
always, with me. Will not your Union,
through some officer or member designated
for the purpose, write me minute replies
to that great question? Especially tell
me if you regularly meet for prayer that
God would be with the Christian women
of this land to overthrow the liquor traf-
fic, not by our might or power, but by His
Spirit? am also most earnestly hoping
that you have gathered the children to-
gether into a s'cold water army Our
dear Anna Gordon is now Assistant Su-
perintendent of this department Of the
National W. c. T. u, and will send all
possible helps and suggestions, if you win
notify her of your wish. May ask also
If you are securing Biblical temperance
lessons in the Sabbath schools, and tenn
perance books and papers in the same
The latter can be had without cost to the
W. G. 7. o., if the officers OF the Sunday
school are favorable. Scientific temper
ance instructions in public schools, and
frequent articles and items in the press,
are methods of great Importance, as you
know. Public meetings, sermons by pas
tors, prizes to the children for essays all
these quiet educational methods are
doubtless, pursued by you as far as prac-
ticable. Now, my dear sisters, please tell
me acFsdt yow are doing, and shall learn
what methods have succeeded best, and
how to help others by your experience. /
hope you read our Union Signal, which is
dear bond of union between us.temperance
women. Believe me, with sincere affec-
tions,
Yours, always in Christian work,

Col. C. P. Head, the nominee of the Democrats for Delegate 10 Congress. ad- dressed the people of ' una on ldst Sat urday night. The Colonel had a good audience, largely composed Of Republi cans, however, and he was listened to DR.
 tientIy and courteously. He commenced by stating that he had been advised not 10 make strictly political speech, and, therefore. he would confine his remarks to explaining the business needs of the Territory according to his light. The necessity for a fourth Judge. the revcr>i on of railroad lands, the necessities of the public school, the removal of inc Ind.- ans, the appointment of federal officials from citizens Of the Territory. and all the other requisites laid down by both the
 Territorial piatfoi ms. were dwelt uuon logically enough. Towards the close of his address Col. Head let go the business end of his argument and came out sqnarelY for Democracy, fui fear, as he asserted, he might be taken for d ''polit- ical trimmer seeking votus." He devoted most Of his time to an explanation of his views on the tariff question and, ss was to be' expected, only just grazcd the edge of the free trade doctrine. He talked fairly well. and what he said was present. ed iii an easy aud courteous manner. After Col. Head had tinished Judge Samuel Purdy and Wni. F.

The crop of corn grown by the Yuma Indians on their reservation on the Cali fornia siue is ia a most prosperous condi. ton. That portion of it seen from the railroad, some sixty or seventy acres would do credit 10 the agricultural skill of any Caucasian farmer, and speaks well not only for the industry of the Indians, but reflects credit on the officers in charge of the reservation in incultating ideas of self-maintenance in the minds of our "Nttion'S waidS."
