site legislation by the Congress Of the
United States regulating the employ
ment Of force for the protection OF tran
sit, and in view of the abandonment of
the transit itself, it is not easy to see
what right or obligation to interfere is
exercisable by this Government. The
pending treaty for the construction OF
the ship-cansl signed December l.,
1884, stipulates an alliance to defend
the integrity Of the territory of Mica
ragua and to protect the canal IT.
self. That treaty, pending its
consideration by the Senate, has just
been withdrawn by the President for re-
examination. This Department has no
intimation from any quarter whatever
that any European Power has inter-
fered or participated or contemplates III
reference or participation in the present
difficulties in Central America.
In response to the invitation of your
committee that ! submit such sugges-
tons in the premises as desire to
make, can only express my CONVICTION
that while this Government has an UNI
doubted interest in the assimilation OF
aims of the Central American States
SO that they may act voluntarily and
tremendously together under re-
. publican forms towards realization
of national and continental ends,
il must infcxibly refuse its countenance
to any measures subversive Of the free
autonomy Of any Of the several States:
The interest and daty Of the United
States in the affairs Of the Central
American States and which. 80 far as
! existing treaty obligations are con-
ccrned. I have already recited, must
be manifested in accordance with

Mr.. EDIToR:-Some Of the s~fhalfbaked''
temperance folk were enthusiast IN their
praise of Rev. b. s. Everett recent adj
dress on temperance in the Woodstown
Presbyterian church. We were surprised
at this i'll the first place inasmuch as the
Rev. speaker took politics into the pulpit
to the extent of telling the voter low to
vote. What we want to know now. how
ever, is whether or not these people will
stand by their endorsement Of Mr.. Everett s
declaration and yote as he said, for none
but pledged Prohibitionists. or wiH they
kick the bucket Of their professions
when they go TO the polls on Tuesday next.
The pledged Prohibitionist before the pub
lie IS Pemberton Pierce. VIII hey vote for
him? X.

Go through the length and breadth OF
oar land today, and you will find that
those who are doing most in the line of
moral >%uasion, in cndeavoring to reclaim
lnen from drinking habits, whether in the
church, in tie lodge, in local temperance
organizations or by individual efforts, are
the very men who are most interested in
prohibiting the traffic by law; indeed, our
conviction j, that the surest way to make
q good. sound prohibitionist is to get a man
Interested ia the social ard moral work.
In most cases, after he has rescued a score
Of men from the drink habit, and finds
that nineteen Of them nave been drawn
back again by The grog-shop, licensed or
unlicensed, ho sees the propriety of pro-
hibiting the man-trap that has rendered
migratory all his r%eformatory work and
ruined its victim. After pulling a man re-
peatedly from i hole. most men discover
the necessity Of stopping up The hole.-W.
