TEMPERANCE ITEMS.

THE Washington Territory Grand
Lodge of Masons has declared retail
liquor dealers ineligible to membership
in the order.
The Vermont Legislature last winter
passed bill requiring the compilation
and printing fand distributing of the
laws relating to the illegal sale and use
of intoxicating liquors.
THERE were 1880 fewer commit
ments for drunkenness in Boston dur
ing the last year than in the year pre-
ceding. 1t is thought that some of this
reform is due to the establishment; of
of coffee and tea and good meals can
be had at very low prices.
THE Temperance education law of
Maine went into operation July 4. All
children are required to be instructed
as to the ''effect of alcoholic drinks,
stimulants and narcotics upon the
human system;" and no certificate is
to be granted to any teacher who has
not passed a satisfactory examination
as to such effects.

AN EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM.
What the Sunday-School Teacher Can Do
for Temperance.

for Temperance.
Rev. ]. c. W. Coke, in a thoughtful
article in the Sunday School Times,
asking: ''What can the teacher do for
temperance" writes: 'What can the
Christian teacher do for Temperance?
The few are in positions of wide intlu-
ence; their words will be wcighty; they
can do much to promote any good work;
but the many are in obscure localities,
in humble life, in small schools, a ma
jority of them without voice or vote in
public atfairs-what can these do to
promote this great reform?
'First to be named among the means
of influencing others is the vitality im-
portant one of a correct example.
| Teaching is not all, nor chiefly, BIZ
word. Life is more than logic. Char
acter is more weighty than catechism.
Conduct, Matthew Arnold aflirms, is
three-fourths of life. 1t bears larger
proportion to moral teaching. Truth
will have little vitality apart from the
personality of the teacher. One must
be, in order to do and teach. Knowl-
edge and character are both essential in
spiritual guide. A consistent example
is the most convincing of arguments.
Come inspires conviction, go awak-
ems doubt. The selfish are not likely to
influence others to sacrifice. A Wine
drinker can not be relied on to rebuke
a whiskysot. Home ale is no
more virtuous than commercial Xxx.
The New Years sideboard may not sit
in Judgment on the all-the-vear bar.
Any cherished habit of self-indulgence
weakens ones moral influence. Not a
few are handicapped in their advocacy
of Temperance by the quid CT cigar.
Who can bring a clean thing out of an
unclean?' Thou, therefore, which
teachest another, teachest thou not thy
selfP"
"The teacher is more than example.
A guide-post is good, but guide is
better. Precept is necessary in moral
training; there must Be Zine upon line
of positive instruction. The teaching
hour furnishes priceless opportunity.
Then Gods word is to speak to the in
tellect and heart and conscience. All
other voices should echo the divine
message. If they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no
light in them Upon all questions of
duty there is no lack of instruction in
the Christian textbook. In principles,
if not in positive preccpt, it covers ali
the issues of life. For detection or omis-
sion there can be no possible excuse.
Temperance is part of the Gospel 1t
is taught in Gods word. 1t should be
taught in the Sunday-school. 1t is
taught where the Scriptures are faith
fully studied and applied. 1t is taught
more frequently than once a quarter.
The teaching does not depend on the
recurrence of the word Temperance
in the lesson-text. Few portions OF
Scripture are selected which do not deal,
directly or indirectly, with the under
lying principles of this and every other
great moral reform. There is no lack
of opportunity for Temperance instruc-
ton. No violence will be done TO either
letter or spirit of the word, if such
teaching is found in nearly every les
son."

BASEBALL IN CUBA.
Spanish-American Audiences Which Have

Spanish-American Audiences Which Have
to Be Divided for Safety.
There are three leading baseball or
CARNATIONS in Havana Havanas,
the Almendares and the Fes. The
Havanas have beautiful grounds in a
suburban village, supplied with grand
stands and an elegant pavilion that has
q spacious ballroom in its upper story.
The Almendares Club, composed OF
young men from leading Cuban fami.
lies, has its park little ways out on
Reina Street, near the Captain Gen
erals botanical gardens. The diamond
is fine one: there is an immense
rooted stand for the common herd, and
back of the catcher's place is superb
iron pavilion, open on all four sides,
with fine floor for dancing and tiers
of chairs in front, with private boxes
below.
Honorary members are admitted to
this pavilion ON presentation of the
proper pass showing that they have
paid up all dues. I attended one match
game between the Havanas and the
Almendares, at the park of the latter
club. The view from the grand stand
was unique one. A row of stately
royal palms doomed up in graceful out
line against a blue tropic sky at the
farther end of the grounds. On the
sides an occasional tall shrub, o. scrub
tree of some sort, appeared above
the high board fence, and generally it
proved to be loaded with human fruit
The grand stand was filled with, per-
haps, one thousand people, while the
pavilion was thronged with a typical
heightened Cuban audience.
The friends of the Havanas occupied
one end of the pavilion. while the Al
mendares crowd occupied the other. I
was told that it would not be safe to
have the audience miscellaneously dis
tributed. A riot would be precipitated

cit could hardly be called that. Six

played three or four of the subsequent
years But the feeling runs so much
higher during game here than in
America that ruptures took place dur
ing the other years, and the contest
would not be played out. The Havanas
have always held the flag thus far, but
we Almendares men thirk we are the
strongest club this season. No contest
is being held this season, as the clubs
could not agree, and this is only what
we call dignity game
"Do you use the American League
rules?"
Eyes, sir. Indeed we even call out

SOM EWHERE.

The skies are blue and days are always fair;
The gentlest showers upon the grasses beat;
And birds sing sweetly in their green retreat
Where shadows interlacing on'the moss
Work beauteous patterns as they Irvine and
cross
What though the winds be keen and mountains
bare
When we but SILVER in the wintry air
dhe skies are blue and long days soft and fair,
Somewhere.
Somewhere,
Tho fragrant winds are breathing clear and
And shadows play upon the unrnoved pool
Where moss and lichens deck the sylvan
glade
And toilers rest contented in the shade.
NO sultry furqace-heats with parching stare;
NO desert sands, forbidding, barren, bare;
NO quenchless thirsts to rack the spirit there,
Somewhere.
Somewhere,
When we are struggling with our load of care,
And troubles weigh US with their burdens
down.
An And life is but o; desert bare and brown
The happy peoples live in peaceful Joy;
No evil thoughts to dim with earth's alloy,
Or anguish crouching in it's tiger lair
Or pain too deep and pitiless to spare;
But au-perVading peace, complete and fair,
Somewhere.
Somewhere
They know not terrors grim and stony stare;
Nor grfefs that bow US to the barren earth
Nor ills which petrify or stife mirth;
But sweet contentment every day and hour
And resignation with its priceless dover
VI calm enjoyments which no tears may fret,
aud memories poisoned by no vain regret.
Fame stirs no envies with its trumpet blare
Ambitions hurt not with their work and wear;
But patience governs, and regrets are rare,
Somewhere.
Somewhere
Repose rests like a presence on the air;
And while we struggle in our constant grief
Or seek in troubled things to find relief
They rest in quiet where glad sunbeams play,
AND gentle spirits guard them night and day
Thank God that though these chains of i'll we

And wearied souls their tribulations bear
We walk in faith, and wait surcease of care
where sweetest rest rewards each earnest

FOR OUR YOUNG READERS.
NOTHING BUT ToAD-sTooLs.

Five little white heads peeped out of the
mold,
When the dew was damn and the night was
cold;
And they crowded their way through the soil
with pride.
" Hurrah! We are going to be mushrooms!''
they cried.
But the sun came up, and the sun shone
down,
And the little white heads were shriveled and
brown;
Long were their faces, their pride had a fall
They were nothing but toad-stoolS, after all.

In regard to the point claimed by

attached to recommendations made
by the Democratic Central Commit

has probably expressed the general

said all that is necessary in express

policy to uphold the Delegate as our
representative and proper organ of

be reached and punished for neglect
or abuse of the great trust with
which he is honored. While we
would by no means be willing to es-
tablish the rule that he should be

any particular class of Democrats,

already given, that it is his interest
to do SO. and that he will re-

That Timber Cutting.

WASHINGTON, November 30.-Serious
misrepresentation of the scope and
purpose of the recent order of the Com
missioner of the General Land Office,
respecting timber depredations, having
obtained currency in many quarters,
General Sparks made a statement to-
day, for publication, in respect to
the matter. He said he had
transmitted to the Secretary OF
the Interior over thirty cases
of timber trespasses, reported by
special agents, against the Montana
Improvement Company and re-
commended suits for the recovery
from said company, jointly with
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company,
of three-quarters of million dollars
damages to the United States. This
company has a stock capital of 50 000,-
600, of which the Northern Pacific rail
road is said to own a majority. and is
reported to the General Land Office as
one of the most extensiveand danger
Gus depredators of the public timber in
the northwest. He denies that he has
taken any official action relative to the
cutting of timber from the mineral lands

visions of the act of June 30th, 1878,
other than to submit TO the Secretary
for consideration certain amendments

export, and says that these amend
ments, which are now being considered
by the Secretary and himself. do not
