IHE BULGARIAN QUESITON.-Th British

decided TO instruct Sir Wm. White, the
British ambassador at Coustantinople, to in

ssantinope to consider the Bulgarsn cues.
lion, and to demand the suspension Of Rus
sian intervention, diplomatic and active
pending the decisions Of such conference.
The Porte is renewing its entente cordiale
with England, and is in favor Of the pro-
posed conference. Italy concurs, while Rus
sa and Franco oppose the project; Germany
and Austria remain neutral. Prince Coma,
half-brother Of King Milan, has become 3
candidate for the Bulgarian throne He is
relative of NJ. do Giers, the Russian for.
eign minister. Both tho Nor0e Iremya and
N0coSti, Of st. Petersburg, declare that the
opening of the Sobranje is fresh anti Rus
sian demonstration, which eopardizes the
success of Gen. kaulbars' negotiations with
the Bulgarian government, and may render
the dispatch Of Russian men of war TO Var
na fruitless. Gen. Kaulbars informed NJ.
karavelotf by letter and the other regents
by telegraph that if the landing CT Russians
at Narna was opposed the town would be
bombarded. karaveloff asked how manv
Russians would be landed. Kaulbars 70
piled, 'As many as the Gar pleases." 1t is
stated in Sofia that NJ. Grecoff, the Bulsa.
rian agent at Constantinople, has informed
the Porte that the Bulgarian government is
willing to resign in favor of coalition with

Tenn erance Union, is clearly set
forth in article I'd of our Consti-
tuition.
ITO educate public sentiment up
to the standard of total abstinence,
train the young, save the inebrlate
and secure the legal Prohibition
and utter Punishment of the liquor
traffic" Those of you who have
hitherto regarded our organization
as aiming solely at moral suasion
methods, will specially notice the
last clause of this article-"the
leqaI Prohibition and utter Danish
ment of the liquor traffic"
With the unerring instinct,
which men so generously accord to
women, we digged below the quick
sands of regulation and taxation,
and laid our foundation on the
solid rock of legal Prohibition. 1t
may be we builded better than we
knew. Recognizing the moral
phase of this question, we have
steadily set ourselves to remedy
that side of the evil by moral
suasion methods, as set forth in our
Evangelistic and Juvenile Depart
ments, and our Department of
Scientific Instruction.
TWO SIDES TO THE LIQUOR QUESTION.
But as those veterans of the
crusade learned, there is another
side to this question, the dram-shop
side, where, says DR.. Herrick John
son, "the spirits openly and lawless-
ly materialiZe, and in a way
destructive of public order and
menacing to values and prolific Of
hurts that are open, public, civic,
national, pertaining to property,
crime, health, life" For stopping
these hurts we must have law.
The legislation that will stop these
hurts must stop their cause. And
such legislation is Prohibition,
and every woman stands pledged
by our Constitution to securing this
legislation from the moment she
becomes a member of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
THE GERM CELL" AND
"sHIBBoLETH."
Let this one thing be clearly
whatever fog may
gather upon other points, Prohibit
ton is the germ cell that gives life
and activity to our organization.
1t is the root of the tree under
whose beautiful branches we sit
to-day. 1t is the sHIBBoLETH of
the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, which every woman
must not only frame her lips to
speak but give her life to serve.
| am thus specific because,
strange as it may seem, all have
not so learned. Indeed some faint
hearted have so dreaded the con-
founding of this principle, with
the name of the party bearing it
that they substitute the milder
and more general term, Temper
ance," making themselves believe
it is synonymous. God forbid that
West Virginia should falter in this
grand fghtl God forbid that it
shall be left to her, to lower the
standard of this magnificent cam
paign.
If we cannot fight in the front
ranks, let our guns be always point
ed at the enemy-our march be
feraDard--not backaoardl
The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1886-06-23

to offend, and he covers cider with
the phrase "nor any thing whereby
thy brother stumbleth."
Therefore leaving the principles
of the doctrine of total abstinence,
let US go on to perfecting the final
overthrow of the liquor traffic.
PREPARATION FOR WORK AND SUP
PLIES FOR WORKERS.
Preparation for this work comes
only through patient study.
The methods must be learned.
Large provision for this, has been
made by the Woman's Temperance
Publication Association of Chicago
in the wide range of literature
the cream of advanced thought on
this question-which it is con.
stantly sending out. The National
Temperance Society also provides
most amply and ably for the
general intelligence Of the people
on this issue of the day. But I
name the Woman's Temperance
Publication Association first, be-
cause it provides for our specific
wants, because it is of US, because
We are stockholders in it, having
in our treasury to-day our share
of the dividends declared by it.
Let US stand by its interests faith
fully, and from it obtain that
knowledge VIII ich shall make us
wise workmen. AS officers and
superintendent of departments
we have need to study our duties
more carefully, find out what is
required of us in our several posi-
tions, and make that preparation
which must precede a faithful dis
charge of duty. I fear we have not
always done this. When a State
officer or superintendent has been
let her apply at once to
her superior in the National ranks
for instructions, and provide her
self with such means of information
as may be indicated; and in turn
let her give out this same help to
the local superintendent in her
special department,
AWAY THE DIFFICULTIES.
[ am aware that special diff
culties have hedged in our way in
the past, difficulties that none
but ourselves could understand and (
But now that we have
set ourselves to overcome them,
hey are gradually clearing away,
and if we are diligent and persis-
5ent, we may hope in time to stand |
abreast with our more favored
sisters,
The fact that we have so long
had a name and have accomplished
out little in the way of results,
has not inspired public confidence
in our ability or strength. But we
are slowly beginning to feel our
own power, and to reach out with
greater effort and effect.
We have carried upon our
the names of Unions whose
existence ended with their initial
meeting, and have had to struggle
on without their financial aid or
moral influence.
Many Unions had disbanded,
others becoming disheartened were
ready to disband. A general spirit
of encouragement brooded over our
work at the beginning of the year
that has been difficult to overcome.
Much time has been spent in
