it. 1t is question affecting both
Church and State, involving civil,
social and personal interests,
The Rum Demon not only mena,
ces stability of government and
good order of communities, but
also the peace and purity Of every
home. The question is one OF prln-
ciple. 1t is as broad as the race
as abiding as the word of God. 10
question so vast and vital no
Christian can be Indifferent. The
attitude oftheChristian church must
be unequivocal. There can be no
concord between Christ an d Belial.
The issue admits of no compromise.
Between these two there is no mu-
tual ground. The friend of one is
the foe of the other. We are justly
proud of our political revolution of
'76. 1t has given US degree of
political freedom far exceeding
that of any other nation on the
globe. In it the world has found
solution of the long mooted problem
as to the capacity or capability of
man to govern himself. In it was
the germ that has vegetated, and
still is to grow and expand into
universal liberty of mankind.
But turn now to the Temperance
revolution. In it we shall find
stronger bondage broken, viler
slavery destroyed to free, greater
tyrant deposed. More of want sup
piled, more of disease healed, more
of sorrow sootbed. By it no or
phans starving, no widows weep
ing.
Oh, what whole ally this is to
the cause of political freedom !
With such an aid or influence its
march cannot fail to be on and on,
till every son of earth shall drink
from the sorrow quenching foun-
tain of perfect liberty. To all the
living everywhere, we cry, sound
the moral trump that those who
are sunken so low may rise and
stand up, an exceeding great army!
And when the great victory is
won on Israel's side; when there
shall be neither slave nor drunk
ard on the earth, and when we
shall have locked the two mighty
passions of the Anglo-Saxon race,
love of home and the love ofliberty,
like too clasped hands around the
neck of the Demon drink; and
when the heart of Almighty God
beats through our civilization and
gives strength to the arms which
move the hands, and so having
seized by the throat the writhing
reptile which threatens our life,
we shall unwind the scaly horror of
its folds from our bodies, political
ly, socially and morally and free
ourselves completely from this
coiling curse which has been
constructing our civilization for
ages We shall transform our Lo-
coon into Hercules and trample
the giant serpent under foot!

The South Kansas Methodist Episco-
pal annual conference, within which
Emporia is, win convene at Independ-
ence on March 10. Only two Sahbaths
viii intervene, with their opportunities
10 hear the popular pastoro of that church
here, before he goes 10 the conference,
which can return him to the church
here or send him elsewhere as NAV be
deemed best for the interests of the church
In this conference. When We express q
hope that he will be returned to this
point we believe we voice the unani-
nous sentiment Of his congregation.
The year has been prosperous one for
the church. The pastor has gained q
warmed place In the hearts of his people
and his able and eloquent ermons, care
fully prepared in thought, but not COM
mitted or clothed in language until flu
entity delivered from the pulpit, have
made his church one of the most popular
places Of worship in the city. which Is
verified by the universally large corgre-
| cations Without an interview with the
official board here; without acknowledge
of the PASTORS desire; without inioTma.
ton regarding the desires of churches
elsewhere; without an idea that he VIII
not be returned; and with considerable
knowledge of the popular feeling and
general comment; We are led to express
the hope and belief that the pastor Of
the Methodist Episcopal church here
for the coming year will be the Rev. w
Q. Snodgrass.

A GIFT FROM sExAToK PLUMB.

Commonwealth: The Topeka Press
club has been placed under obligations
TO Senator Plumb for five excellently ex-
ecuted photographs. which he writes
shall be framed at his expense and hung
on the walls of the club room. The
subjects are the Washington monument,
President Arthur, James G.. Blaine,
John A. Logan and the late Senator An
thony of Rhode Island. Senator Plumb
has taken quite an interest in the Press
club ever since it became established in
its present roams. and voluntarily sent
the pictures mentioned. He said in q
letter to Cliff Baker: 81 should think q
press club with a room which could be
kept open all the time, and TO
which members of the Press Gang
throughout the state could have
access, on their going to Topeka, would
be good thing, and now is a good time
to inaugurAte the movement"
Such is the character of the club room
at present. and while it will be primarily
an asylum for the Bohemians Of the Cap.
ital City, it will, In the nature of events,
as well as because it is the desire of the
club that it should be so, become the
headquarters of the newspaper frater-
nifty of the state, in Topeka. Already
the club has about twenty of the state
daiIIes and few weeklies on file and
will have more when they can be accom-
modated in the way of file conveniences

Buried Alive.

A Verginia paper publishes terrible
story. A girl, aged eighteen years. was
taken iii, and her physician, who decid-
ed that she was suffering from neural
gta of the stumach, prescribed mOrphia,
dose of which was given TO her, follow
ed by another in shorter time than
dlFec ed, In a few hours she apparently
died, and tive days afterwards was buried
In spite of the protests of q lady who III
sisted that she was still alive. The night
after the funeral, her relatives, VINO
had become alarmed, exhumed the body
and their worst fears were confirmed.
l. wac found on opening the coffin that
what Was considered death had simply
been the effects of an overdose of mOrphia
that she had, when awOke from sleep,
made frantic efforts to burst open the
casket, was evident. She had plHcked
her hair from her head and torn the I'm
ing of the coffln into shreds, while her
fair face was bleeding and horribly dis
figured. Such Il tragic occurrence Gnu

THE MOODY CHRISTIAN CONVES-
TON

This convention is looked forward to
by the people of Kansas with great exz
pectations and delight. From the day
it was announced an enthusiastic inter
est sprang up which increases and
widens every day. The secretary in
forms us that he has had several letters
from different parts of the state inquir-
ing about it Inquiries are coming
in to know about excursion rates,
as many of the people of
the surrounding railroad towns
are DESTROYS to attend. The great diff
Guilty is, what will be done with the
crowds that will want TO see and hear
Mr.. Moody. But few of hundreds will
have this privilege. The convention Is
an exceptional one, as Mr.. Moody is to
preside at every meeting, so that he
must be In one place. This is the ar
rangement now, and unless he makes a
change when he arrives it will be the
plan during the convention. Mr.. MoodY's
object is to help Christina workers by
suggestions and advice as TO what is
understood and experienced by him as
the most successful ways and means IN
church work. 1t is no wonder, then
that ample arrangements are being made
10 provide for the Christian working
people, by ample means, of tickets of
admission. OF course, no doubt, the res
ident ministerial committee of direction
will do what it may and can to accom-
modate as many as possible during the
time. Tickets Will be issued for
single sessions only, except in
the cases of invited strangers from
abroad. 1t is to be regretted that the
time of the convention will be so brief.
Let IS hope that Mr.. Moody may be able
to remain day or more longer with us
which, we are sure he viii do if he can
and If he considers it needful. There
will be no charge for admission. The
convention begins on Tuesday March

TOUGH DIET.

Paul Beck of this city, lost valuable
COW Monday. She had been sick tor
some time, but no doctorlng seemed to do
her any good. After her death Mr.. Beck
examined her body to see if any cause
of her demise could be found. Upon

mystery was solved. The following
articles, usually foreign to healthy
cows digestive apparatus, were discover
ed therein: Eight S-penny nails, five shin
gle nails, three tacks, two broken screws,
a piece Of rock, one pin, some gravel
and shot. Mr.. Beck brought the above
articles to our office to-day and they were

stomach to combat with such food and
she succumbed. Mr.. B. thinks that pos
sibly the nails, etc, got into bran led the
