MRS. j. ELLEN FOSTER of Iowa, the cele-
brated temperance worker and speaker, was
present last week at Lakeside, O. On
Wednesday last she conducted Question
box, and in replying to interrogatories gave
her opinion of political third party prohibi-
ton, as follows;
II am opposed to the Prohibition party be-
cause / consider it delusion and snare, and
think it great hindrance to temperance
work.
"The third party would hurt prohibition in
Kansas and Iowa If there was enough of it.
''The third party did nothing to secure pro-
hibition in Georgia. The people down there
don't believe in it.
"The third party did not secure prohibition
in Iowa. The people did it.
''The third party is doing prohibition more
harm than the adherents of high license"
Mrs. Foster has spent her life in the tenn
perance propaganda, but because she will not
now unite with a movement conceived in
ignorance and matured in malice, we shall see
her reviled by the third party scribblers and
orators, just as they have reviled Francis
Murphy, vino has made more sober men out
of drunkards and drinkers than all the st.

IT is generally understood that the fight
made against the American fishermen in Can
adam waters has been made in reprisal for the
tariff law, in force in this country, against
Allimports, including those from Canada And
now it is said that the effect has been to reduce
TO the verge of starvation thousands of traders

THE wisdom Of keeping up aforce of militia
Is now apparent. If it became necessary, a
large force of well-drilled men could be con-
centrated on the Rio Grande within twenty
four hours, for it is morally certain that nine

lake part in campaign against Mexico.

SAYS the Cleveland Plaindealer:

"The Pennsylvania Railroad Company has
recently been quietly making experiments to as
certain whether or not 1t would pay for a big
railroad corporation to observe Sunday by cut
ting off more or less of its Sunday traffic. A
great many of its excursion and several of its reg
ular passenger trains have been discontinued. The
freight trains, excepting those carrying live
stock and perishable goods, have been ordered
of from o'clock Saturday night till midnight
Sunday, and all repairing work on Sunday has
been stopped. To make the opportunity still
further beneficial, freight engineers are allowed
the use of their locomotives to take themselves
home for the day. The results have so far
proven so satisfactory that the directors are now
arranging to make these experimental changes
permanent, and to extend them. The men are
found to be worth more and the liability to ac-
cident is lessened"

ings and holiness associations throughout the

prevails-is greatly wrought up over the fact
that the gamblers have but moved across the

SUNSET" Cox AND THE SULTAN.-Mr.
Fearn, OF New Orleans, our new Minister to
Greece, Roumania and Serbia, tells good
story on Mr.. Cox. He went to his post at
Athens via Constantinople. The Sultan
cordially acceded to Mr. Cox's request to
give Mr.. Fearn an audience at the Yildez
Palace, on Friday, after Salemlik. There
was much worry about these infant nations
and their relations to Turkey, and Mr.. Cox
desired to have our Minister to these states
and the Porte on good terms. After the
usual formalties were over, the Sultan re-
marked to Mr.. Fearn:
ut seems to me, Mr.. Minister, it must
give you great trouble, labor and travel to
represent your country at three nations so
far apart from each other"
"Alow me-" said Mr.. Cox, 'to reply for
my friend. Your Majesty will understand
that Mr.. Fearn has not as much to occupy
him with his three kings and two queens as
I have with one king and"--
Thereupon Mr.. Cox gave sudden halt.
Visions of finnumerable queens in the next
apartments foated before him. The Sultan
helped Mr.. Cox out of his dilemma by cor
dial smile, which Mr.. Fearn says colored his
cheeks with modesty and frightened his eye
with humor. His ajesty finished the SEN
tence, as if he knew he held more court
cards than Schenck's diplomatic game al
lowed. Now, where did this oriental. po.
tentate learn the game of poker, and why
did he anticipate this chestnut? Here's an
opportunity for Bret Harte to warn his wan.
dering countryman against engaging the
child-like and bland Musselman in a game
rival.
