WEST VIRGINIA
WOMAN7S
Christian Temperance Union.
FOURTH
Annual Convention,
WELLSBURG, wv VA, JUNE 23-A'
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS.

@. T. u:
Thirteen years ago the Home
forces marshalled at the ringing Of
Ohio church bells, and Christian
womanhood went forth to do battle
for God and Home. One year later
the White Ribbon army mustered
into service, not for one year, nor
three years, but until "this cruel
war is over"
The Home forces of West
Virginia are here to-day to be
reviewed by our Commander-in-
Chief, and would that she might
have found us better armed and
equipped, and with fuller ranks
than we have as yet been able to
muster.
THE ENEMY WE FIGHT.
The enemy we fight is the legal
lied dram-shop. Entrenched in
greed and appetite-fortifed by
legal and political barbados, the
siege has been long, but the fierce
ness of the strife, the desperation
with which the foe meets the round
after round of musketry, we have
patiently, persistently poured into
his ranks, the silencing of his guns
at SO many points by the magnif-
cent flsillades of our Prohibition
MISREPRESENTATION a near
approach of the final struggle.
Look to your arms. Are we
ready for this crucial test? Are
there any fearful and afraid among
our ranks? Are there any that
will not stand the water test 2
Are there any wearing our colors
who at heart are not loyal to our
cause-who are willing to help
slay the foe provided his entrench-
ments are not disturbed.
1 repeat it--Look to your arms
Be sure they range above the heads
of our advanced guard.
Make sure that the red flag of
Personal Liberty is focused BY
your guns, and fire, even though a
friend bear the staff,
sTRICTEsT LOYALTY DEMANDED.
Said a soldier who wore the blue
to his brother IN gray, years after
the rebellion, "Were you in the
battle of Pittsburg Landing?"
yes; what would you have done
if you had seen me?" "Shot YOU"
was the Prompt response. l
happen to know there never were
two more loyal, loving brothers
tran were these before and after
the war. And yet loyalty to right
and justice and liberty was strong
er in that mans breast, than
loyalty to blood. But for this
splendid allegiance to principle
over the ties of love and nature
our colored brethren would wear
the shackles of slavery to-day,
The doctrine of emancipation
did not bring peace, as [ have
cause to know, but put a
sword in the hand of the father
to be welded against the son.
So this doctrine of Prohibition
has wrought divisions that many
of US realize have been hard to
bear. And yet in the man who by
direction or indirection gives aid
or comfort to the saloon (and Oh
what comfort every defeat Of
Prohibition at the ballot box does
giveD we do not see a friend OF
brother, but an enemy to our cause
and loyalty to God and Home

OUR DEBTS AND OUR FRIsyns'
We began last year ovi6s
debt of $40, to our Secreta,v
work of the previous year. Fan
effort has been made to cut a,
every unnecessary expense
many that seemed actually ned
with a view to liquidating
indebtedness and meeting the
rent expenses of the year.
Many friends have genera
contributed to this end and i
of the Unions responded loyalI1|
our call for aid. But in spit
all this we have been unab,|
balance accounts.
In view of the debt alreadyoI
our Secretary, we could not ssk]
to continue the work through
the year, with no prospect of BED
able to pay her, and as she
pressed it, it was a great trial
her to accept pay for her serviI
in this work. Yet she could
justly give her time without q
pensation.
She was right. Which OBJ
you could or would have done
l am frank to confess the u
has not been done this year 4
ought to have been. UndertsE|
as I did, on account of our lean |
chequer, to do the work Of n
dent, Secretary and Editor-bI
nothing of my duties as md
and housewife-all have sufs
more or less, from a lack of atl
a degree of omnipotence, onI
cience and omnipresence.
May we all learn wisdom ful
coming year.
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS /
I therefore recommend that 4

Committee with power
devise means for raising ta1
Tor the liquidation of the oldd1
and to secure the means OF NJ

State Treasurer be the Cham

be given this means of raising

trust that the Plan of Work

The Mississippi Justice will prove of value TO
many persons besides those for whom il has been
specially prepared. | should think il would be in
dispensable to every magistrate who aspires the
distinction Of being "learned in the law above his
fellows" Aside from the many useful and con-
venent FORMS the statistical information contained
in the Appendix Is worth much more than the
price Of the book. ROBERT G. PATTY.

Rumor that Mr.. Gladstone Will Not Insist on
All the Points of His Irish Policy.
LONDON. April 1.-The Cabinet held q session
this afternoon The Pail Mall Gazette expresses
great anxiety about the issue Of the meeting. 1t
is rumored that Mr.. Gladstone has given indica-
tions of disposition to retreat from the bolder
outlines of his Irish policy. The Pail Mall Ga
zette warns the Premier that his followers will
not support him beyond the grant to Ireland of a
form of home rule similar to that existing in the
several states of the American union. in contra
distinction to the federal authorities
Mr.. Gladstone, in letter to the editor of the
Tuam (Ireland) Herald. which that paper pub
lisaes, makes the following personal statement:
'The government is determined to pass measures
to ameliorate the unhappy condition of Ireland.
Let me urge Irishmen to assist the government
by abstaining from violations Of the law"
A later dispatch pronounces this letter forg-
ery
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon, says:
'sThe hostile tone OF the Scotch Liberal press as
we'll as that manifested in most Of the recen,
public meetings, has caused some of Mr.. Glad
stones closest followers to doubt that the Scotch
