A Leading PrOhIbiGiOnIsts' View of "a
Third Party Movement

Mrs. j. Ellen Foster of Iowa, one of the
most devot ed and most successful leaders of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union,
said in a recent speech at Lakeside, Ohio:
81 am opposed to the Prohibition party be.
cause l consider it delusion and a snar e,
and l think it a great hindrance to temper
ance work. The third party would hurt pro-
hibition in Kansas and Iowa il there was
enough of 1t. The third party did nothing
to secure prohibition in Georgia The peo-
pie 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"
In talk with Boston reporter the other
day about the prohibition movement in Iowa
Mrs. Foster also said 1.-THE fact is that the
prohibition sentiment Of Iowa has become SO
dominant through the agitation of the cues
ton by non-partisan methods that even the
Democratic party has become leavened with
it, and the Democrats from the rural districts
have been able to control the whiskey Demo.
Gratis from the large cities in the direction of
prohibition. l believe that the third par
ty movement is based on wrong idea of the
relation of reforms to party action. The re.
suits have been disastrous, and only disas.

From the Burlington Free Press.l
The Boston journal, which, as it is we'll
known, is high in the confidence of the
Maine statesman, denies that Mr.. Blaine or
any of his friends are opposing the return of
Mr.. Edmunds 10 the Senate. The Journal
says;
When the New York Times speaks Of "the Blai ne
night against senator Edmunds" II tells fAlsehood n
by that phrase 1t that Mr. Blaine or any of his
friends outside OF that state opposing the reeec
tion Of Mr.. Edmunds.
The question at once arises, in whose inter.
est are the papers and persons working that
have assumed TO speak for Mr.. Blaine and TO
be guarding his interests by attacking Sena.
tor EdmundsI Are they the organs and
emissaries Of Jay Gould and the Western
Union monopoly?

One OF the pet and persistent lies of the
opposition is that the Republicans of Mr..
EImundss own city of Burlington have nom.
mated an ant-Edmunds candidate for city
representative The Free Press, denying the
story for the dozenth time az told by the
Rutland Telegram, says: "Mr. Taft was most
distinctly pledged to support Mr.. Eimuuds
when he was a candidate for the nomination
for state senator. He was pledged over and
over again in word, and in writing, to sup.
port Mr.. Elmunds before he was nominated
for city representative. These are the facts,
but the Telegram will never state them.
Truth does not answer its purpose"

List.
lFrom the Rutland Herald.

Saturday night the opportunity to correct
the check list will close. Every voter needs
to examine it, or cause an examination to be
made, in order to make sure that his name is
there. 1t happens at almost every election
that some mans vote has to be refused be-
cause his name was omitted from the list and
he had neglected to see that it was inserted
Such men, especially il they have always
lived in town, are very apt to say something
unpleasant. But it is then too late to talk.
Now is the time. No matter who you are,
however prominent or well known, you need
to see for yourself that you are not to lose
your vote.

A lively sensation has been caused by
story which was telegraphed from the city of
Mexico to the New York Times of an esca-
pade and debauch in which Mr.. Sedgwick,
Secretary Bayards special envoy to Mexico,
was alleged to have INDUCED on his arrival at
the seat Of the Mexican government. The
story was, in short, that Mr.. Sedgwick &C
oepted an invitation to banquet given by
some of the gilded youth of Mexico, that he
got drunk, was dressed out with garlands of
flowers and evergreens and in this maudlin
state was led through the streets of the city
and was finally left in charge of the women
at house of bad repute. When the Ameri.
can colony in Mexico heard the story they
called meeting to express their indignation,
but found when they came together that they
hadn't information enough to proceed upon.
Several denials of the affair have come from
Mexico, including one from Sedgwick him
self, and his friends in New York and in
Stockbridge, Mass, insist that he is no such
kind of a man. The impression left by it all
is that Mr.. Sedgwiok grew decidedly conviv-
iAl on the occasion in question, but that he
probably did not carry the indulgence to the
excess which the first account stated.

1t is an admirable and telling reply which
the Rutland Herald makes to the impudent
claim of the Waterman that Mr. Edmuuds
should be defeated because he could not be
depended on to support Mr. Blaine in 1888
In this connection, and since the Waterman
seems anxious to raise an improbable issue
and discount the future upon it, we should
like to repeat prediction which The Pho
nix put on record in April last-and here it
is:
'lf Mr.. Edmunds should be defeated this year. two
years hence hundreds Of thousands of self-re-
spectng Republicans in all parts of the country
would be found saying, and proving by their acts,
that they will have nothing to do with party which,
for no good reason whatever reres to private life its
leading statesman, its most uncompromising foe of
jobbery and corruption, its steadfast champion of
party principles. The way to defeat the Repub-
can presidential ticket in 1888 is to defeat George F.
Edmunds in 1885,"
This was our opinion four months ago. To
that opinion we still firmly hold

The recent murder Of Rev. George c.

OF an attempt to enforce the prohibitory law
by private prosecutors. Sioux City has long
been notorious for its open defiance Of the

1t was the happy thought of Mr. N. l.
Hawley to invite q party of friends to his
house last Saturday evening where they might
have an opportunity to say good-by to Miss
Mary Howe aud Mr.. Lucien Howe and give
them their cordial good wishes for the year of
study in Germany and France for which they
were about to leave. The gathering filled the
parlors and broad piazza, and was most
agreeable one socially. Through an attack Of
hoarseness which came upon her suddenly in
the afternoon, the company were disappOint-
ed in their expectation of hearing Miss Howe
sing, but the disappointment certainly was
not greater for the friends than for Miss
Howe herself, and Mrs. Dexter in that spirit
of warm friendship which she has always
shown for Miss Howe, kindly sang for her sew
eral selections 80 including Home, Sweet
Home" for her first numbar, and was warm
ly applauded, as was also Mr.. Howe in the pi-
ano selections which he gave ~ his own good
by to his friends. A pleasant feature of the
evening, and one which was highly appre-
ciated by Miss Howe, was the graceful act of
the First Regiment band In appearing, after
their concert for the general public, to give her
a serenade on Mr.. Hawley's grounds. After
one or two numbers had been given the mem.
beers OF the band appeared to tender their per.
sonal good wishes to Miss Howe, and Mr.
liawley presented her in d neat little speeeb
thanking the band for their compliment and
assuring them that, whatever the music she
might hear abroad, there would be nothing
sweeter to her ears than that of this organiza,
ton of her own towns folk on the eve of her
departure Refreshments were served and
the company broke up with warmly express
cd good wishes for good voyage, happy
year and safe return for the travellers. MI.
and Miss Howe left Brattleboro on Monday
afternoon and on Wednesday morning sailed
for Bremen by the elegant new steamer Saale
of the North German Lloyd line. The vessel

Peter dii not in xiii, 36, that he i not speak

From this lesson we may see:
a. How slow man is to learn spiritual

Elections and with and after ell the Holy
Spirit. How sin has blinded the mind and

for us But man does not understand, and
SO the Spirit--the COmfOrter-is given.
t3J We see why we preach Christ" God
the Father speaks in his works and in mems
conscience and Christ is his image, The best
way TO make men know the Father is to
preach Christ Nor do we preach the Holy
Ghost. The best way to lead men TO seek
him is to lift up Christ. He sends this gift
and the Spirit in turn bears witness to him.

ANCHORIA'S CLOSE CALL.
TWENTY DAYS AT THE MERCY
OF WIND AND WAVE.

Temporary Repairs to the Broken shaft
Speedily Followed by Another Break
The Fret Officer and seven Others
Start for the Far Distant Coast In u
Small Boat.
ST. JOHN, ME-, Oct. 1.-THE steamer
AnchOria, Captain Small, which arrived
here at O'Clock this afternoon, left Glas-
cow on Sept. 1S bound for New York. She
had 700 souls on board. including passen-
gers and crew. On Sept. %, four days
later, strong gale sprang up and heavy
sea struck the ship, and in lurch which
she made the shaft of her propeller was
broken. At the time of the accident the
ship was in latitude 50:19 deg. north and
longitude 80 west. She was reckoned to
be about 1900 miles west OF Ire
land. The shock oocasioned by the
breaking Of the shaft threw
the ship on her side and strewed
glassware and other articles over the
decks. Many of the passengers were
frightened, but upon the officers assuring
them that there was NO danger of sinking
panic was averted and order restored.
The sails were set and the ship became
somewhat steadier, but the rudder gear
being useless she drifted about at the
mercy OF the waves from Sept. % to
Wednesday, Oct. 6, efforts in the mean =
while being made daily to repair tn o
broken shalt.
A SECOND BREAK.
On Oct. 6 the engineers effected tempo
rRry repairs, and the ship was once more
got under control, but soon afterwards
her shaft broke again, this time beyond
all prospect OF repair. A consultation
was held by the officers, and the exact
position of the ship ascertained, 1t was
found that she was 80 miles off the coast
of Newfoundland. As the provisions
were running short the first officer aud
seven others volunteered to launch a boat
and make for the coast. The first officer
was instructed to secure the services of a
steamer II the boat reached st. John. Fri
day the ship made little headway,
and the expected steamer did not
come on that day nor during the
following night. On Saturday at noon,
however, the glad cry of Gland" rang
through the ship. Another volunteer
crew were quickly enlisted, consisting
this time wholly of passengers, who
pulled toward the shore. Both boats
reached the land safely, but the steamer
which was sent to the Anchoria's relief
did not find her, and the latter had nearly
reached port before she was seen and
taken in tow by another vessel. There
were two deaths and two births on board
during the voyage.
