The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

The recent national convention of the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union in
Philadelphia was, probably, the most in
teresting in its history This organize
ton has, in IL certain sense, just reached
the first critical period in its existence. 1t
has met the initial test of its unity. For
some time line of division has been
clearly marked in the organization. A
growing majority has been working
towards the conversion of the association
into II political instead of reformatory
body-or rather, perhaps, into politico-
reformatory body. The minority in the
management has resisted this move
ment, preferring that the Uuion
should remain, as it has been, an
organization supporting Prohibition
as moral principle rather than as a party
policy. Most of the strong minds" in the
Union, including the President, Miss
Frances +. Willard, are practically, if not
avowedly, in favor of carrying the associ-
alton over to the Prohibition party. Such
"A movement would imply, of course, a
purpose on the part of the Union to use its
influence in securing woman suffrage, so
that the support of the organization might
be of some practical value to the Prohibi-
ton party. This would change the old
motto "the rum power can be crushed by
woman's prayers" to "the rum power can
be crushed by women's rOtCS."
In the convention the report favoring
the annexation of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union to the National Pro.
hibition party was passed That there
we n of ha IA
ject is evident from the fact that while
Mrs. J. Ellen Foster, the leader of
the opposition party was speaking against
the resolution, she was discourteously
Kissed by those who favored it. After the
resolution had passed, "A strong protest,
signed, among others, by Mrs. j. l.. Per
kins, Miss Ellen M. Seaver and Miss NJ
p. Moore of this State, was read. 1t was
received with good feeling, and did not dis
turb the harmony of the convention
| 1t can not but cause regret to the friends
of this active and devoted body of Chris
tian women that it should have committed
itself to policy which has hitherto seem
ed so foreign to its traditions and to thu
spirit of its work. All honor to the brave
women, who, in the courage of their con
victions, dared to stand forth and protes
against the step which had been so conf
IDENTIFY taken by the officers of the Union
Whatever the delegates may hav
thought, or however they may have beer
influenced, we can not but believe tina
the thousands of Christian women al
over the land who claim membership il
this benefcent organization will regre
sincerely that the moral power of tn
Woman's Christian Temperance Union
has been apparently. subordinated to tn
interests of a political party-and of
political party whose sole work thus ia
has been to give practical aid to he long
time ally of whiskey, the Democrat
party.

Montreal Witncss.l

Filth is not one of the peculiarties of
the French Canadian. Take walk
through the most settled districts of our
own city. You will find floors uncarpet-
ed, perhaps, but as clean as man-o wars
deck. Go into the farm-houses, and neat
ness and cleanliness are marked charac-
teristics. They are not dirty-far from it.
The mechanic and laborer who goes home
from his work in the evening will be
found with his hair brushed and his face
washed sitting at his doorstep. 1t is a
libel to call the French Canadians dirty
race. The smallpox plague in Montreal
was not attributed to the uncleanliness of
the French people.

than England, the landaus and brough-
ans of New York are most of them built
in England. 1t is not however, because
Americans can not make as good landaus

bushels; and the length of track occupied
by the loaded cars was about twelve miles

The Philadelphia Press fcelingly re-

Further examinations of the returns
from the doubtful precincts of New York
city show additional proofs of fraud, by
which Republican voters have been de
prived of their rights at the polls. New
York, unquestionubly, must he added to
the triangular conspiracy of American
cities which foster crime at the polls.
The Pope's endorsement of the decree
against intemperance, issued by the plen-
airy council in Baltimore last year, is
likely to bear fruit in the immediate
future. 4 proclamation from the Pope is
expected, which will inaugurate vigOr-
Gus crusade against the rum power IN
this country. The influence of the Cath
Ole church over its adherents is very
great, and if the hierarchy distinctly ar
ray themselves against whiskcy it will get

The New York Hcrdld in view of the
fact that some native Nermonters have
won infamy as well as fame, remarks,
that "even being born in Vermont will
not make a man good as well as famous,
unless the possessor of the Green noun
tain brthright means TO be all he should
be and in this respect Vermont is exactly
like all other States" This is most true ;
but perhaps all the States are not quite
like Vermont as regards the proportion of
honorably distinguished men, which they
can offset against their scoundrels.
