THE new enactments in Iowa are creating
considerable excitement The Rev. J. A.
Ward, of Clinton, Ia, preached sermon on
the prohibition question, of which one of the
local papers says: The sermon was admirable
in its moderation and good sense. and we'll cal
culated to further its object without stirring
up bad blood and illfeeling, as violent and
abusive language inevitably would do" The
closing part of the sermon states the point
well; Honor calls on you; as contestants, to
yield gracefully. We staked the issue on
votes and entered the lists. Everybody
understood the terms Nobody claims any
unfairness. We met you in the open field and
beat you Indeed, we did it three times.
Now, what should you doa What can you do
but abide the RESULT Suppose you had
whipped us? What would you have thought
of us if we had refused to abide the resultV
New York Advocate.
We know of no reason why this question
should not be amenable to just and fair treat
ment as are all other questions and, there
fore, we should like to ask our contemporary,
the Advocate, or the Rev. Mr.. Ward, of Iowa,
whether they pretend to say that if they, the
prohibitionists, had been defeated in the popu-
lar vote they would have abided by the RESULT
The question answers itself. Had the vote
been opposed to prohibition the prohibitionists
would have picked their fints and tried it
again. In this view of the case, which every
body knows is true, there is no force whatever
in the closing part of Mr.. Wards sermon. 1t
is absolutely meaningless, because it is not

THE innocent and confding Philadelphia
Press congratulates itself on the fact that
Matthew Arnold has promised to deliver but
one lecture in this country during his coming
visit. On account of this agreement the
Press is inclined to regard Mr.. Arnold as the
greatest literary man in England, and a pub
lie benefactor because as the paper admits, he
has a right to deliver 500 lectures. The
ground on which the Press bases its opinion
that one lecture delivered 500 times is better

THE Journal has, number of times, allud-
ed to the powerful force being added to the
temperance reform in the work Of the Roman
Catholic Church. Fer years past this church
has been steadily taking higher ground, and
has been exerting its great influence more and
more decidedly on the side of personal So
briefly and the restriction of the public liquor
traffic. There have been few agencies, if any,
that have done moro for individual temper
Ance than the Father Mathew societies, and
the various solidarities under the immediate
patronage of the church authorities; while
lately the very outspoken words of the priest
hood and Of the higher authorities have done
much to strengthen the rapidly augmenting
sentiment that will ere long put the public
traffic under strict regulation and restriction.

THE labor troubles are gradually settling
themselves, and we believe upon better and
firmer basis than has been reached for many
years. AS the Journal indicated on the day
set for the Inauguration Of the eight-hour
movement, 1t was an absurd impossibility as
it was projected and it has failed, just as it
was predicted it would fail. It was the
chimera of folly to expect that the entire Ia
Dor system of the country could be suddenly
and violently changed; and that fact has
been quite thoroughly demonstrated during
the past ten or twelve days. The question of
the number of hours and the rate Of pay was
one fer special and particular settlement, and
we believe, without notable exception anywhere
in the country, such has been the outcome
The working day has been shortened in great
many instances, and the hours of labor and
rates of compensation have been readjusted in
many localities, and in many varied employ
ments; but these adjustments have all been
individual and have not come about as the re-
suit of any hot-headed, Incorporate, tyran-
nical organized" demonstration or demand
The only thing that has come from that has
been the disorder and the turmoil attending
the strikes inaugurated here and there and the
dreadful outbreak in Chicago by the
Anarchists, who took advantage of the dis
quiet to faunt their red rag and their revolu-
tionary ideas, and to try and inaugurate their
hell upon earth We are nearing the end, as
we think, of the disturbances and upon this
the country is to be congratulated the
country-men of all classes, employers and
employees. 1t is very gratifying to note, too,
in passing, that nearly every strike accom-
kind, whether that violence went to the point
of actual assault or not, has proved failure
A better understanding of the rights and
responsibilities Of citizenship in free coun-
try has been taught-taught at a severe cost
in some instances-but the lesson may prove
to be worth its full price, if it shall have
brought about realization of the fact that
the individual rights of men cannot be
trampled upon by any one, whether by COR
ganized" capital or by organized" labor. In
this respect the injury to one is the concern
of all, and public opinion has seen to it, and
will continue to see to it, that every free man
in this country is protected to the fullest in
all the rights that inhere in his free manhood.

THE Senate of the Ohio Legislature has re-
enacted the Scott liquor law, or a measure
lantamount to that which, it is believed, will
be held to be constitutional. This bill puts a

imposed upon it. Indiana will have law
that will cause the liquor business to carry a
fair share of the expenses it creates.

REV. w. KIRKUs, leading Episcopal rector
of Baltimore, has felt it necessary to publish a
letter in reply to the assaults made upon the
people of that city by "Sam" Jones. Mr.. Kirkus
says:
II think 1t time to protest against the gross
and insolent abuse which these gentlemen have
thought proper, in the presence of thousands of
people, to offer to a very large number of our
Baltimore citizens. And when it is publicly as
kirmes or in the charity ball, or who play
whist with their tired husbands, or take part in
progressive suchre, or who dance are 'hugging to
music, ere emissaries of the devil. are helping
their husbands and families to hell, l think it
time to ask who gave to the people who make
these charges the right to sit in the judgment
seat Of the Eternal and condemn to hell fire hun
dreds OF the purest most noble, most self-sacri-
fcing women the face of the earth? We
not accustomed here in Baltimore to hear the
ladies of Baltimore condemned for gross vice
without accusers, or trial, or jury by couple Of
irresponsible people who know nothing about
them. AS one of the clergy of Baltimore, beg
to say that these women SO ruthlessly slandered
are our personal friends, are of spotless reputa-
ton, and are among our best workers, are well
coined by us to the holy eucharist, and are, at
the very least, far above suspicion of purity
and ungodliness as the men who so wickedly and
insolently abuse them"
A special from Baltimore says that many
women will not go to hear Jones preach because
of his coarse vtuperation, and number of prom
inent clergy men are beco ming offended at his
talk

IT is told Of a Fulton county, Illinois, man
that he was bribed to vote in recent election
by the gift of 10 cents and five pies. A man
with five pies in his possession, and especially if
they are in his stomach is not responsible for
his actions-he is drugged. The deadly charac
ter of the pie is demonstrated again at Boston,
where several people have been poisoned within
the past few days by partaking of baker made
pie, which had been favored with vanilla The
Boston man can never trust himself when he
goes back on his traditional diet.

MILLIONAIRE Congressman complain that the
newspapers make them great deal of trouble
by publishing exaggerated stories of their wealth
and generosity, the result being food of beg
ging letters which they are obliged to answer in
way to dsappoint the correspondents So far
as the Journals observation goes, very few tales
of congressional generosity are published, and
these not of an impressive character. 1t may be
that even they are wild exaggerations; but the
imagination Of the impecunious individual who
is beguiled by them into hoping for donation
for his own needs, must be of that hopeful, ire
pressible sort which no cold, hard facts can re-
strain. What the millionaires really ought to
do is to give vote of thanks to the newspapers
for having so little to say about their iberality
THE philanthropists who for some months
have been industriously engaged in the effort to
boycott frivolous women who wear birds on
their bonnets, now hatter themselves that the
change of fashion from feathers to flowers is the
result of their labors. Encouraged by their sue
cess, these amiable people should turn their at
tention to the eectric-light towers of the coun-
try. At Chicago thousands of birds Of every va
riety dash themselves to death against the lamps
in the towers, and according to the report,
trim all the ladies' hats in Illinois. 1t will be
inconvenient to boycott electric lights but it
stands the ird-lovers in hand to do something
to preserve their pets.
