In our editorial last week VIC had
no intention Of engaging in con-
troversy with "For the Truth, nor
was it written as an answer to his
letter, but as note of what men are
thinking and saying on the subject.
We look at this subject from such an
entirely different standpoint from
that occupied by "For the Truth
that argument is impossible. Accept
the text of scripture quoted, as lit
teral and the construction put upon
it as infallible, and his argument
that the world is growing worse and
that Christian truth is confined to a
small body of the elect, is incontro-
vertable. But we find it contra
dicted by facts and figures that are
undeniable, and we belive with DIR.
Parkhurst that the world is growing
better. To go back only one hund-
red years, there sless intemperance,
less immortality, less cruelty mans
life is more valued, a far higher
value is put on woman, she is fast
becoming the companion and equal
of man instead of his toy or slaves
the care shown for children and the
insane show that civilization is adj
vancing, the barriers between the
sects are breaking down and the old
fashioned doctrinal controversies are
giving place to rivalry in labOrs Of
love. These are facts that can be
proved by figures that cannot lie.
The Bible is true and so are Oui
facts, if they do not agree it is be-
cause we put a wrong Interpretation
on the text. We have no time now
to reconcile them, and we doubt if il
is matter of much Importance as
compared with the saving of our
souls, when that is accomplished
there will, we have no doubt, be time
and opportunity to straighten oui
these and many other matters that
trouble us now.

phatically a gathering of the people,

ISTOxICATIOs 4 DISEASE,

There Is abundant evidence to prove tina
the desire for intoxicating liquors Is a disease
A disease is a moral or mental disorder. A
moral disorder is a violation of the rules by
which society is governed and that should
govern mankind in society. That drunken
ness is a moral disorder-that is a violation
Of the rules of society, every sensible person
KNOWS, Who disturbs the peace of society
more frequently, or in greater degree, than
the drunkard? This question may be an
swered by every man and woman who has
had any experience IN the social relations.
And this moral disorder has its effects upon
the mental and physical organization of man.
What is the condition of tile mental powers
of the man IN state of intoxication? Are
they in their sane condition, did anyone
ever see a man under the Intoxicating infiu-
ence of liquor that could properly use his
mental powers? In a state of excitement
those powers may be used while conscious
ness remains, but not when intoxicated.
The intoxicated man is beside himself his
mind Is not under his control, it is In a state
of bewilderment that is unnatural and which
cannot be controlled by reason. Who does
not know that the drunkard is the most un-
Of all men; witness his language
and hts sctions he utters foolishuess, he has
no idea Of the force of language and mutters
his unconnected sentences in such confusion
as conYinees everyone that his senses are be-
numbed and that he Is not responsible for
The abuse that he heaps upon his best friends,
The effects Of intoxicating liquors are wit
nessed as well In the movements Of the
physical man as IN the use Of mans mental
powers. Why does that man stagger why
IS it that he cannot support himself and falls

has drank has affected his physical system,

UNDFLUENOED by the complaints
OfdisappOinted friends, who don't like
to see him do right; and of equally
disappointed enemies who would like
to see him do wrong, President
Cleveland pursues the even tenor of
his way, making changes when he
sees it can be done without injury
to the service and striving in every
case to secure good officers. No pres
ident has ever given so much perso-
nal attention to his appointments,
a man s recommendations are closely
scanned and some have found to their
cost that signing a recommendation
was not an empty form, but that they
would be held responsible for the
man they endorsed. Honest sincere
recommendations, from good men,
go long way with the President,
and those who have the most of that
kind are the ones that will secure
the appointments.

ity that the managers will endeavOr
in every way to develop the re-
sources of the State. Local and
through freights are lower, we have
an early train that gets to Philadel-
phia soon after 10 a. M, giving visi-

Moderate freights and direct CON-
munication will give the peach
industry a boom along the line of
our railroad and we may expect that
land will improve in value. The
road intends to give low freights to
LeWes on timber and wood that will
encourage the farmers to clear and
improve their lands. At present
the prospect is bright and we trust
it will continue so.

WHEREVER you travel during the
summer months at watering places,
seaside resorts or mountain camps
you will find numbers of earnest
men and women each one of whom
has mission to fulfil apparently with
out care except to enjoy the present
hour. are they really idle, have they
forgotten the great work they have
in hand? No they have borne the
burden and heat of the day, they
have fought faithfully, and they ask
for no discharge, they are only en-.
jOying a furlOugh taking a little well
earned rest and recreation. But
what is the object of this rest;shOuld
it not be to fit us for work, for bet
ter work, the quiet steady work that
comes to all. Should it not help us
to give the daily line upon line, and
precept upon precept that will slowly
and steadily guide the world to
nobler aims and nObler aspirations.
Never since the adoption of our
constitution has there been a time
when earnest work was mOreneeded.
Our fathers secured to us in the full
est manner personal freedom, man
can think and act and say what he
pleases; but the right of man to an
abiding place, the fact that the pre-
sence of man on the earth gives him
a right to a living from it, has been
forgotten. Vast monOpOlies are fenc-
ing the land and the water and shut
ing out the people from their "Birth-
right" Progress is everywhere, but
her landmarks are not leisure, rest,
comfort and happiness; hard bitter
Poverty follows In her train, crush
ing to the dust the tOiling thousands.
A halfdOzen individuals own or con-
troll one-fftieth of the wealth of the
United States, while American work
men are supporting their families on
eighty-five cents per day. To quote
from Z. H. G. Clark author of "Man's
Birthright''; "The facts are too glar.
ing for question as well as too cruel
for silence. They utter themselves
on every country road, in every |
street of every city and in every |
alley between the streets. In o
country new, fertile and inexhaust-
able; not settled to a tenth of its ca
pacity, with endless inventions and |
to aid in gathering
it is only by close cOmbina-
lions in trade unions, and by bitter

the poOr-millions Ofthem-can pro-
vide themselves with Indifferent
food, shelter and clothing. Intelli-
gence asks why such wrong should
be, and justice declares it shall not
be always, not even too long for
wise endurance" We must meet
these evils by the diffusion of intel
igence among the poor, and a spirit
If right and justice among the pos
SCISSORS of wealth. Individually we
ire responsible for the evil that is
Iround us, by individual exertion it
must be cured. Let each one when

Use his renewed powers in the cause

BUSINESS AT WASHINGTON.
Continued Discussion of the Presidential
Succession Bill.

WAsuINGToN, Dec. 16-Thc Senate at
2:5O p. m. suspended the debate in the
presidential succession bill and went into
executive session. Mr.. Beck suggestively
inquired what might have happened had
the President died before the meeting of
this Congress, the Republican Senators,
although as a whole in the majority, not
being present in sufficient numbers at the
opening of Congress to have constituted II
quorum.
The people had placed the executive
authority in Democratic hands. The Re
pubicans by themselves could not
nave sworn in Senators from Hi
nois, New Hampshire or Oregon.
The question would have been pre-
scented whether it was the duty of
the Democratic Senators to help the Re
pubicaus elect president pro tenn of the
Senate who should be President of the
United States, or stand still and allow the
House to elect II Speaker. For one, Beck
would not help II minority of the Senate
who had no quorum, when on the same
day, the Democratic House was electing
Democratic Speaker. The bill would
dispose of all questions of doubt.
Senator Edmunds expressed his sur
prise at Mr.. Beck's observations. lie adj
mtted 1t had been the will of the party
Of which Beck was the distinguished
leader, to resort to revolutionary methods:
it was within the power of IL large minor
ity of any government to become reNolu
tionists, but Edmunds should hope it
would be a very long time before any
Democratic or any Republican Senator II
the Republicans were i'll the minority,
would resort to revolutionary methods,
! with II view to gam the political advan-
tage of dispensing postoilces and
signing land warrants until the
election OF new President. All
/ that Beck had stated Edmunds re
garded as purely imaginary. If he had
the regulation of the question, he would
leave the substance of law where it was
now, but would add to it II provision re
quiring the House to meet and organize
on the 4th of March, that the country
should have four lives between its eN-
ecutive head and chaos. That would meet
everything. This plan Edmunds would
have, because it was based on the solid
principle. that when Il vacancy occurred
in the Office of the chief maglstrtcY, rep
resentatives of the people in the Senate
and the House, should be guardians OF
that nigh Office till the voice of the people
could he again directly heard by an cleo
tlOr.
