ance cause, is embodied in the plan of
instructing the youth of the land in re-
gard to the effects and dangers of the
alcohol habit. All can see the neces-
sity for this sort of teaching. IT is
quite evident that very much of the
distress and wretchedDess that have
come from strong drink would have
been avoided had the nature and effects
of it been known by its victims while
they were yet children. individuals are
very largely drawn into evil habits be-
fore fully knowing or even thinking of
the extent of their possible conse-
quences. If this system of instruction
is made effective in the public schools,
it is easy to predict that it will accom-
plish change in public sentiment in
the next ten years of radical i'm
portance.

JUST what was to be expected. The
Boston Herald (dem.) remarks of the
failure of the republicans to secure a
majority in the next house: AS the
admission of Dakota or Washington
would give them this, the inhabitants
of those territories may as well make
up their minds that democratic house
will not vote for their addition to the
number of states within the next two
years" So Dakota and Washington
territories are to be refused admission
to statehood-not because they lack any
of the requisites for admission, but to
serve the partisan interests of the dem
ocratic party!

THE inability of the authors and adj
vocates of certain measures which are
alleged to be in the interest of reform,
to give specific or substantial reasons
for their adoption, reminds us of the
following incident: A gentleman met a
boy running at great speed and called
out "Where are you going?" " No
where" yelled the boy. " What
are you going after?" Nothing"
"What's your hurry, then?" Coos l is"

THE enterprising village of West
Randolph at an enthusiastic meeting
Monday evening, at which nearly all the
voters were present, voted unanimously
to bring water into the village for fire
and domestic purposes. This is the
first time the water question has been
agitated in public way and the first
instance on record of any New Eng
land village voting unanimously to pro-
vide water supply. 1t speaks well
for the harmony and good feeling pre-
vailing among the people of this -four
ishing village. Other Vermont villages
will do well to initiate their example
and $50 and do likewise"

trates, however, the idea entertained
by some, that a railroad has no rights
that the people are bound to respect.
Let us have commission clothed with
reasonable powers. But, after all, the
chief thing under an efficient statute is
the character of the men composing the

The original bill contains the following
provision, which properly goes with the re-
port: "Section 25.-The selectmen of each
town shall insert an article in the warning
for the town meeting in March, 1887. in
their respective towns, in the following
words: To see if the state will adopt the
provisions of an act to restrain and regulate
the sale of Intoxicating liquor and shall at
said meeting provide "a box and printed or

words adopt and reject plainly written
or printed thereon, and each voter may

Tempeton, in Boston Herald
1t was my fortune to be in the Territory
Washington during portion of the time while
the late canvass was going on on this subject
arrived in the city of Tacoma a Saturday,
and the same evening attended a large meeting
addressed by Hon. Thomas Fitch, in an argu-
ment for prohibitory law. To my surprise it
was nearly all occupied with reply to the
speeches of two women, who were leading wom-
an suffragists of the Territory, who had the
week previously made public speeches against
prohibition! | could not understand this, and
the next day inquired of leading prohibitionist
of the place what it meant "How can it be"
said l. that your two leading women of this
Territory are defending laws that allow the sale
of liquorW Il will tell you" was his reply. st
is because they care more about woman suffrage
than they DO about the sale of rum. There is
an election soon to be held. or which is antici-
pated, in this Territory, to decide whether women
shall.vote under the expected State Constitution.
If the women all vote way on this liquor
question, they fear that the liquor vote will
in and be a unit against their having the suf.
frage These women are, therefore, striving to
make friends with the liquor dealers by persuad
ing them that their votes will be on the side of
the sale, and that they represent many of the
rest of the sex in this position

that the women were learning the arts of poiti-
cal management early. Whether it was true Or
not the fact remains that these two shining
lights of the softer sex in advocacy of woman
suffrage Ol0 make speeches. from Tue l&coma
platform in favor of licensing the sale of liquor
and against prohibition. / was curious to know
what kind of argument they delivered, and
asked the question of Mr.. Fitch, to whom was
afterward introduced. "An exceedingly able
one was the reply. .s1hey are both women of
brains and of excellent speaking capacity. 1t
would have been worth your while to have heard
them" If these women had any con
siderable following or influence, there
must have been many women votes for
liquor-selling. The vote in the city was taken
the day left, and it was about two to one in its
favor, the women participating in the election.
I should say there were two views on the sub
ject of woman suffrage among the female sex in
this Territory, those with US at the East.
Some met were earnestly in its favor. saw
one woman however, who should by force of
circumstances favor it, if anybody did, for che

me: II have never voted. / hold this place by
favor of men because my poverty compals me.
But do not believe that either public Office or
voting is woman's sphere and the more see of
it's effects the less ] am reconciled to it." She

Sir Charles In a Very Subdued Mood-No
eliminating Evidence Yet.
LONDON, July 1.-THE interest in the Craw-
ford divorce case has not diminished, but, on
the contrary, has increased. The room in which
the trial is being carried on was even more
crowded to-day than yesterday. 1t was devel-
oped that Mrs. Crawford recently made state

which is not known, but it is expected that she
will be called upon 10 substantiate it, and some
new facts, perhaps of startling character. may

Public opinion is beginning to raise an outcry
against the English divorce system, which is de-
clared to be scandalous. In other countries.

Of his old audacity He sat gloomily with one
finger pressed against his forehead, and occa-
sionally glanced furtively at the audience. When
under examination he was much more subdued
than yesterday. Although clever at fence, he
proved no match for counsel Matthews. 1t is
the opinion that Sir Charles makes a bad wit
ness, failing to answer questions asked until ap-
soiutely forced to. and showing general dispo-
sition to debate and bubble. One of Mr.. Mat.
