WASHINGTON, February 20.-rhe House
Committee on Foreign Affairs was In
session for four hours to-day consider
ing the participation Of this Government
In the Congo conference. The conclu-
sion was practically reached that the
resolution prepared by Representative
Phelps would harmonic with the Views
OF the committee. The resolution pro-
vldes that no prospect of commercial
advantage warrants a departure from
the traditional policy Of this Govern
ment, which forbids all entangling alli-
ances with the nations OF the old world;
that the participation Of delegates from
the United States In the Congo confer
ence. while, as your committee believes,
carefully guarded In the purpose, to con-
fine their powers to consideration OF
commercial interests exclusively. IL un-
fortunate II 1t should be anywhere re-
cognized as department from the policy
which forbids the Government OF the
United States from participating In any
political combination or movement out
side of tho American continent. The
committee adjourned till tomorrow to
decide on the nature Of the report, If
any, which should accompany the reso-
luton. Discussion indicates that II any
report be adopted 1t will be brief and
will deal kindly with the administration,
while distinctly averring that participa-
tion in the Congo conference was unfor-
tunate because II weakened the force Of
nphe Monroe doctrine.

produces weakness, not strength: sick
ness, not health; death, not life. 1t
makes wives, Widows children, Or
phans; fathers, fiends - and all of
them paupers and beggars. 1t feeds
epidemics, invites cholera. imports
pestilence and embraces consumption.
1t covers the land with misery and
crime. 1t fills your jails, supplies
your alms-houses, and demands YOUR
asylums. 1t engenders controver-
sizes, fosters quarrels, and cherishes
riots. 1t crowds your penitentiaries
and furnishes victims for your scaffolds.
1t is the life blood of the gambler, the
element of the burglar, the prop of the
highwayman, and the support of the
midnight incendiary. 1t countenances
the liar, respects the thief, esteems the
blasphemer. 1t violates obligations,
reverences fraud, honors infamy. 1t
defames benevolence, hates love, scorns
virtue, and ISLANDERS innocence. 1t in
cites the father to deliberately butcher
his helpless offspring; helps the hus-
band to massacre his wife and the
child to grind the parricidal AK. 1t
burns up men, consumes women, de-
tests life, curses God and despises
heaven. 1t suborns witnesses, nurses
perjury, defes the jury-box, and stains
the judicial ermine. 1t degrades the
citizen, debases the legislator, dishon-
ors statesmen and dsarms the patriot.
! Itbrings shame, not honor; terror, not
safety; despair, not hope; misery, not
happiness: and with the malevolence
of fiend it calmly surveys its desola-
tons, and, unsatisfed with its havoc, it
poisons felicity, kills peace, ruins NOR
ais, blights confidence, Stays reputation
and wipes out national honor; then
curses the world and laughs at its ruin!
1t does all that, and more-it murders
the soul. 1t is the sum of all villaines:
the father of all crimes; the mother of
denominations; the DEVILS best friend
and Gods worst enemyW-The Re-
6gious Herald.

A Lawyers Plea.

One of the best known lawyers of
this country, in addressing a jury, re-
Gently, in a case where the manufacture
of alcohol was involved, said Il am
aware that there is a prejudice against
any man engaged in the manufacture of
alcohol. believe that, after it issues
from the coiled and poisonous worm in
the distillery until it empties into the
pit of death, dishonor and crime, it de-
moralizes everybody who touches it,
from its source to where it ends. | do
not believe anybody can contemplate
the subject without becoming preju-
diced against the liquor crime. All we
have to do, gentlemen, is TO think of
the wrecks ON either bank of the stream
of death; of the suicides; of the in
sanity; of the ignorance; of the little
children Juggling at the faint and
weary breasts of weeping and despair
ing wives, asking for bread; of the tai
ented men of genius that it has wrecked !;
the men struggling with imaginary SER
penis, produced by this devilish thing.
And when you think of the jails, of the
alms-houses, of the asylums, of the
prisons, of, the scaffolds upon either
bank, | do not wonder that every
thoughtful man is prejudiced against
the stuff that is called alcohol. Intern
perance cuts down youth in its vigor,
manhood in its strength and age in its
weakness. 1t breaks the fathers heart,
bereaves the doting mother, eXtin-
cuisines natural affections, grasses con-
jugal love, blots out filial attachment,
blights parental hope, and brings down
! mourning age in sorrow to the grave. 1t
