1t is known by all that among the
efforts Of the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union in Elk Point for

have SO far been well attended by
the citizens, who have given to them
candid attention. Last Sunday ev-
ening the lecture was given by Faith.
er Miller, and was among the best
we have had. He showed that all
good men were on the side of tenn
perance, and he failed to find a mai
who would openly defend intemper-
ance. While this was true in the
sense he put it, yet he might have
said that some men who seek for Of
flee will advocate the saloon for uotes'
And this is done everywhere, and
largely to get the saloon cote!
The ladies of the Union would be
right glad to see one thing done by
the young men of Elk Point, and
that is to organize a Temperance
Club and go to work rthe redemp-
ton of the town from the curse of
saloons. Could the young men do
a nobler or a grander thing? Let
them organize and procure copies of
the prohibition paper colled the
Foice, published in New York City,
by Funk & Wagnals, No. 10, Dey
ST., the ablest paper in the country
on temperance and prohibition.
Will the boys look at this idea, and
will they help to redeem Elk. Point
from the curse of the saloon? Will
they do it? They can if they will.

The organization of a Board Of
Trade, for the city Of Elk Point,
which is nearly perfected, is a good
movement on the part Of our citi-
zens. It can be made a powerful
instrument for the material advance
ment and prosperity of our beauti-
full city, if properly managed. All
petty selfish interests should be rel
egated into oblivion and the broad
principle Of public spiritedness
should actuate the members of this
association in every move they take
for the public good. Let such a
spirit prevail and much good will
be accomplished, but if the usual
chickering's and petty personal quar-.
rels Of individuals are listened to, the
sooner the thing goes to smash the
better.

President Egan Says the Speech Means
SurrendeF-Finerty Hints at War.
CHICAGO, Jan. 23.-Patrick Egan, Pres
ident of the Irish National League, was
interviewed this afternoon regarding that
portion of the Queens speech touching
upon the Irish question. pronounce
ments OF that kind" he said, ''mean
nothing. 1t is always the rule in royal
speeches to utilize language that Will con-
ceal ideas rather than express them. Her
Majesty SAYS nothing new. We all know
of her dislike to home rule movements,
The situation is such that, no motter what
she may say, Parliament will be COM
PEELED 10 deal with the home rule question
and grant It to Ireland. Her reference to
! coercion Is also vague and VIII not lead
to any material results IN ireland. From
experience we know that announcements
! of that kind precede surrender. We know
that this, our national movement, holds
the key OF the position, and we are all
| quite confident as to the result"
Under this menace" said eX-COngress-
man John Finerty, ''the Irish people must
/ make up their minds to meet the crisis
! with the courage displayed by the Ameri-
can cOlOniets in dealing with the Queens
ancestor, George III. The Queen 81 Eng
land has a personal grudge against Ire
| land, because Dublin refused a site for
the statue of her husband, the late Prince
Albert, who once said of the Irish that
they ought to live on grass, and deserved
! no more sympathy than the Poles. The
| speech seals the fate OF the Salisbury Min
istry, and then, should Mr.. Gladstone, on
| returning to power, refuse to meet the
| Irish demand in fair spirit, no re-
course will be left to Ireland to OBJ
| tain her rights but to resort to first prn-
! ciples; in other words, she will be COM
! PEELED to make physical sacrifices that
have been made by all other peoples SINH
larry circumstanced. What her methods
will be is simply question of national
/ resources. If she cannot meet England
inside the rules Of war, she will have to
meet her outside of those rules, and she
cannot be blamed If the increasing bru-
tally of England forces her TO adopt a
system OF warfare not laid down in Eng
lish military textbooks, but which is,
nevertheless, always practiced by Eng
lish armies when they invade the domains
of weak antagonists"
"This is about what / expected" said
Rev. DIR. VReilly, Treasurer OF the Ma
tiOn League. sit is well worthy Of the
woman who, when her Irish subjects were
starving, gave such a miserable cOntribu-
tiOn to relieve their distress that it could
not be conceived by the Sultan Of Turkey.
II is also wei worthy of the object Tor
which she comes to open Parliament in
person, namely, to bolster up the old,
WORKOUT Tory policy"

81 have heard it said that if we had had
another candidate we would have elected

through Ohio in my judgment saved Us
the State, and we have no other man in
the Republican party who could 90 out on
trip OF that kind, speak 10 to 20 times a
day, without somewhere or somehow
laundering badly; but Blaine did not. His
presence aroused enthusiasm and brought
about our victory in the face of Demo-
cratic State administration and the dis
couragement of the defeat at the two
previous elections. The Republicans
will enter the contest in 1888 at q disad-
vantage.
