bit of news from the New Jersey

"a Repu blican caucus was held

through the Morris and Essex bill.
There was a lively debate over the
Local Option bill, and the caucus
finally agreed that it should not be
made party measure. 1t was re-
solved to adjourn sine die, to-mor-
row afternoon at 3 O'clock"
0, no! 1t would never do for the
Republican party to make any
thing &c party measure" that
would in any degree please the
Temperance people, or offend the
saloon keepers. And yet, you are

", C. T. c. Flower Mission Day

Among all the benefcent depart
ments of work that have been
organized and systematized with
such marvellous success in carrying
forward the great Temperance Re-
form. there is none that so springs
from the deeper recesses OF the
heart and reaches down into tae
hearts, of others az does the Flower
Mission Department.
On the 9th day Of June Of every
year hundreds and thousands Of
Christian women from the Unions
all over the country, go forth to
prisons, almshouses, ja;ls, and to the
homes Of the sick, poor and sor-
rowing, bearing flowers with
appropriate Scripture text cards
attached and not forgetting the
more substantial delicacies and
Iuxuries needful for the cheer and
comfort of the poor unfortunate and
suffering.
In this work there is always q
double blessing and we are very
sure the 95vers in most cases will
insist that they and not the receivers
have the larger share Of the blessed
benefits. 1T IS more blessed to give
than to receive"
Our Parkersburg w. G. Il. U.
romeln bered the day and those
who participated were most happy
in its observance. Many friends
contributed flowers, nuts, candies,
&c, and Mrs M. M. Snow, Miss
Mary Tavenner and others, bearing
the precious cargo, went out to the
County House, on the morning
train, Mr.. Cook meeting them at
the train with a wagon. Mr.. Dew
ries, conductor on the B. & 0.
kindly stopped the train for the
ladies at Jackson's Switch.
The ladies were pleased to find
everything about the house in
excellent order under the scrupu-
lous care of Mrs. Cook.
After devotional exercises, the
packages were opened, the treat
spread and the flowers distributed
among The e4ger children as well
as among the older members OF this
County family of the weak, help
less and unfortunate.
The joy that was brought to the
hearts of all this public household
was inspiration and cheer to the
ladies for another years work.
And SO it is always and every
where.
After returning ON the noon
train, the ladies and others of the
w. c. Il. U. visited the sick and
poor of the city in the afternoon.

as it was put, variety shows in

tits strange that it i5 necessary
to thus appeal to Council. Under
the Dow law Council has the
authority to close all saloons abso.
lutely. What a change would
come over Marietta were Council
to exercise this authority. How
many hearts would be made happy,
how many homes would be blessed
and how many boys saved from
tenn ptation and ruin were they to
do this. But that is too much to be
expected. We do not expect It.
But when a concert saloon is open
ed for the apparent and unquestion-
ed purpose of drawing custom to
the bar, we do not see how our
Council can hesitate for a moment
to adopt an ordinance to stop it
Marietta Regaster.
Yes, indeed 1t IS strange. The
Lord k1,oa0s it is stran &c the Devil
knows it is strange, and every
intelligent man and woman on the
face Of the earth knows it is pass
ing strange that it should be neces-
sary anywhere to appeal to the
authorities to close absolutely and
forever every murderous saloon in
the land!
The first principle OF common
sense is self-preservation and the
first duty of Government is self
protection, and any Council Or
State that will legalize or even
tolerate the open dram shop, COM
mits q brutal outrage on common
sense and suicidal treason against
itself.
But after apologizing for its
murders, and going into partner
ship with it in its robberies, by
taking as tax-money" a certain
portion of its "swag," it is simply
pusillanimous and contemplate
to go whining around, talking
about chow many hearts would be
made glad, how many homes be
blessed and how many boys saved"
if the saloons were only closed
And moreover, to make a man
pay 5000 for the privilege of
running murder shop, and then
to forbid his having music to draw
in victims, is of itself an outrage
on all common sense and reason,
any way you can view it. This
were doing violence to even the
equity of wick edness, if such a
paradox could be conceived of.
If you license a man to run a
mall, you certainly dare not refuse
him the grist to be ground. So if
you license or t0G a rum-mill so
much a year for the privilege OF
running, you agree in tae same
contract that the mill shall have
the hannah gri.t8 to be ground.
And it is not only the sheerest OF
folly, but The boldest sort of politi-
cal blackmail itself, to compel the
proprietor to pay for the privilege
of grinding, and then talk about
putting legal guards about his
hopper to keep the human grists
from coming between the "uppe1
and neither millstones" and being
ground.
