for law should perish by the law"
A clergyman tells us that few
weeks ago he was sitting at Boston
hotel table and the lady next him
wore the white ribbon. A gentleman
entered, took seat opposite them and
ordered his dinner including beer.
Just as the order was given he chan
ced to see the white ribbon and at
once he recalled his order for beer,
saying, Excuse me, madam, | did not
before observe the white ribbon.
Moral: Always wear the white rib
bon.-Our duty in Union Signal.
Miss Willard writing of the MOnona
Lake Assembly says that sit deserves
well Of us by reason Gifts lberality, the
stockholders having voted that "non-

velopment of this great question"

In appeal TO the young by w. Jen-
nings Demorest, he concludes thus:
ga few more fieeting years, aud all
our boys aud most likely our girls,
too, will be privileged to cast their
ballots for those who will have the
making and executing of the laws.
In this country we are all sovereigns,
and it depends on you to say whether
the rum.power shall rule the land or
whether Prohibition of the liquor
traffic shall be our grand ambition.
At the Storm Lake, Iowa, Temper
ance camp-meeting the strongest res
olutions were adopted concerning the
enforcement of the prohibitory law
and pledging the most earnest and
practical support to the State Alliance,
in accomplishing this work. OF Mr..
Dugall of the New York Witness,
The Voice says: Mr.. Dugall was a
brave man, DISTINGUISHED, generous,
exalted in all bis motives, man of
extraordinary faith. But one incident
is necessary to reveal the true metal
which was in the man. The Witness,
prior to the campaign of 1884, was
not an advocate of the Prohibition
Party, yet had always from its first
issue, been true friead of temper
anee. In 1884 it came to him that
our duty lay in the advocacy OF the
claim of the new party; party des-
pissed and spoken against every where.
When spoken to about the proposed
new departure his words were, is it
rightr The answer was 1T is.
WELL he replied, that is the only
question to be determined. Let us
pray and the man of near four score
years fell on his knees. As he arose
he said: Friends it is right, that will
be the policy of the Witness But,
said one, Mr.. Dugall, you will lose
$4,000 subscribers by this change.
Please never mention that to me,
was the answer of this true hero.
With him the only question which
weighed was that of duty. The lacl
of the world is not men but MAN
In the death of John Dugall the worl,
has lost a MANA Christian man. W
deeply sympathize with the Witnes
II its great loss.
