Miss WIZARDS Annual Address.

The following are extracts from the an
nual address of Miss Frances Willard.
President of the National Womans Chris
tian Temperance Union. which was deiiy-
cred last week at the convention OF the
Union held in Philadelphia.
BELOVED SISTERS Very sacred seems
the comradeship of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union. Nothing in life has so
satisfied some of our hearts. 1t is a high
and holy calling. As | have long believed,
it is Gods way out of the wilderness for
half the human race. In its glowing cru
chile, the dross of sectional enmity is be-
ing rapidly dissolved; the trifiing occupa-
tions, the narrow aims, the paralYzing in
dolence of women, are barriers burned
away by its ~all-conquering heat; while
their once impoverished lives are expand
ing into wide areas of gracious strength
and heavenly magnanimity. Beloved, this
is our testing time. The fiery ordeal is
upon us. '.The fire shall declare it, Can
we not bear and forbear with each other?
Can we not disagree down to the eye
brows, but agree in the heart? For one |
pray for grace with you, to
await beneath the furnace blast
The pangs Of transformation
Eot painlessly doth God recast
And mould anew the nation"
strike, Thou the Master, we Thy keys,
The anthem of the de.tinies.
Thc minor of Thy loftier strain,
our hearts shall breathe the old refrain,
I'M frtU be done"

The Prohibition vote has increased more
than one-half over the vote of last fall,
Mr.. Pierce receiving 40 votes in the
county, while the county candidates last
fail received 1856 votes. And yet this does
not really gauge the temperance vote, as a
large number Of temperance men voted for
Capt. Whitaker, both Republicans and
Democrats. while not a few temperance
Democrats voted outright for Pierre. The
fact is quite apparent that the temperance
vote IN the county is becoming 4 factor in
our politics that can no longer be ignored.

The Prohibition vote in Salem county at
Tuesdays election affords food for re-
Election. The party appears to be taking
no backward step and that it should nearly
double its vote this year in face of the
fact that nothing could be said against
the temperance sentiment and record of
either Of the other party candidates,
shows that principles and not men are
what the average prohibition voter is hold
ing ont for, and that while the old parties
refuse to come out for prohibition as a
matter Of principle as distinguished from
policy, it is useless to expect 20 catch the
prohibition vote by putting up candidates
however personally acceptable they may
be. If this position on the part Of the
prohibition voters results in the defeat of
good temperance men in either of the other
parties, that is the fault of the parties and
not Of the candidates OF tile prohibition
voters, and the sooner the old parties find
this out the better. But fancy either Of
them coming out for prohibition!

DEPARTMENT or HIGHER EDUCATION

DEPARTMENT or HIGHER
We all deplore the failure Of orr meth
dds to reach boys in that debatable period
of their chronology known as those
dreadful teens" The department placed
under Mrs. Dickinson's control last year,
was a study of this problem. If we could
reach the lads and lassies too, in schools
of higher education, perhaps we might APP
ply the method with success to a wider
circle of young people later on.

Our work among colored people should
be greatly strengthened. Mrs. Chaplin
has pioneered in this field, never visiting a
own without calling them together, and
enlisting pastors and people to stand by
prohibition. The good thus wrought is in
calculable. But what is n woman, gift
ed and heroic as she may be, among SO
many? The movement, started by Miss
Colman, to send literature To these ig-
norant but, as a class, we~ll-meaning peo-
pie, should receive, each year. a ten-cent
donation from every member OF onr so
ciety. This is all that is asked, and Will
yield a larger heavenly per cent. than any
other possible form of investment.
Mrs. Harper is both faithful and capa-
BILE, as we all know, but her department is
crippled for lack of funds.
SUPERINTENDENT OF WORK AMONG THE
IRISH.
Perhaps the chief advance, this year, is
in the f~raternizing of representative Cath
Ollie temperance workers With Protestants.
| earnestly wish that a gifted Catholic
woman might be found, who would devote
herself to enlisting those other own faith to
make common cause with us against our
common enemy. A superintendent of work
among Irish women would be a most OPP
perfume addition to our group of foreign
workers. Our literature should be seat
tered among the Catholics, and in every
town a copy of The Union Signal should
be subscribed for and sent to the priest.
He will soon see that there is neither re-
ligious nor race antagonism, and that we
propose neither to proselyte nor be pros
elyted; neither to ''pervert' nor be per-
yerted.

|. ORIGIN or THE WHITE RIBBON.

Henry y. Reynolds, the Red Ribbon Re
former, about the year 1876, when working
in their town, called the ladies together, as
his custom has always been, to organize a
Woman's Christian Temperance Union.
1t seemed then to occur to him that a badge
for the ladies was desirable, and, as his
men wore the red. and the Murphy move
ment had adopted the blue, he suggested
the remaining national color for the ladies,
calling attention also to its significance of
purity and peace. This Union claims the
honor of having been the first to adopt the
color, and. if we can but remember when
we see our ribbons. which | earnestly wish

the Moody meetings of that spring. The
following autumn, under the inspiration of
a memorial speech by Margaret Winslow,
of Brooklyn, at the Fourth National Con-
vention Chicago, the White Ribbon be-
came our national badge. Let us here
covenant together that we will wearit con-
stantly, and induce good women every
where, so far as possible, to do the same.
Let us remember that the White Ribbon
stands, as our dear Mrs. Barney, of Rhode
Island, tells us, for purity, conservation,
helpfulness and loyalty to each other and
to the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union.

It looks very much as though Some Of
the Democrats in Salem county had bolted
their ticket this fall. According to Repub-
lican arithmetic. 400 prohibition votes,
every last one of them taken bodily from
the Republican party, 50 the organs have
been accustomed to claim, still leaves Capt,
Whitaker about $50 majority. Either the
Democrats have voted for Pierce-which
upsets all Republican arithmetic for
Whitaker-which is worse from a Dem
ocratic standpoint-or a goodly proportion
of them didn't vote at all, for which there
must be a reason reaching further back
than to the personal qualifications OF their
candidate, who was i'll every respect a
clean and unobjectionable one, III fact an
unusually strong one. 1t looks as though
the rank and file of the party were begin
ming to tire of the rule Of the Bosses. and
were reaching over the head of the candi-
date to give the ring a death blow.

CONRAD N. JORDAN.
Two Dollars a Year.

Treasurer of the United States.
The date of Mr.. Jordan's appointment
to succeed Albert U. Wyman as Treasurer
of tho United States, is May l. If the
reader will take the trouble to examine a
Treasury note from his pile" he will find
the Treasurer's name at the time of its is
sne from Washington legibly written on it.
On and after the date May l one of Mr..
Jordan's duties will be thus to adorn new
notes with his autograph. His Office is a
highly responsible one. Its incumbent is
charged. with the custody of all public
moneys received into the Treasury at
Washington or in the sub-treasuries at
Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Balti-
more, Charleston, Cincinnati, st. Louis
and San Francisco, or in the repositories
and depository banks. He disburses all
public moneys upon the warrants of the
Secretary of the Treasury and upon the
warrants Of the Postmaster General. With
in the scope of his duties are also the Issue
and redemption of Treasury notes. He is
hgent for the retention of the circulating
~
as security for public deposits; is custodian
81 indian trust funds and agent for pay
ing the interest on the pubic debt, and for
paying the salaries Of the members Of the
House of Representatives. Uncle Sam
pays the by no means extravagant salary
of six thousand dollars year for the per-
formance of these duties, which manifestly
requires an ability gained by long expert
ence and natural adaptation. -
Mr.. Jordan has both. The greater part
spent in banks or other financial centres.
He began at the foot of the ladder in New
York city, rising in his first place-namely,
ut the Hanover Bank-to be general book
keeper of that institution. His next en-
gageHent was at a bank in Fishkill. The
Third National Bank, New York, was start
ed in 1854, with Mr.. Jordan rs cashier, and
he held similar position in the Louisiana
National Bank at New Orleans from 1864 to
1858. In 1880 Mr.. Jordan became Treasurer
Of the New York, Ontario and Western
railroad, which position he resigned year
ago: Since THAT time lie has been working
hard on scheme, al; Yet unsuccessful
looking to the establishment of Clearing
House with operations covering the whole
country. The bill incorporating the com.
pany having the matter in hand has not
yet been passed by the New York Legisla
ture. i"
During his business career Mr. Jordan
has exhibited great ability in finance. OF
late, by the sequest of Secretary of the
Treasury Manning, he has been engaged il
the simplifcation of the methods of the
Treasurer's office. His ambition is to &C
present its affairs to the public that the
average citizen will apprehend them clearly
and without difficulty.
